THE JEFF DAVI8 MONUMENT An Appeal to the Veterans of South Carolina for Contribu tions. Geu. C. Irvine Walkor, command* iug the South Carolina Division, United Confcdrate Veterans, has is. sued the following General Order, No. 66, in regard to the Jefferson Davis Monument. The attention of Coa federate camps throughout the State lb earnestly invited to it, so that a con certed effort may bo made in South Carolina to raise the balanco of the money required for the monument. The order reads as follows: Headquarters South Carolina Division, United Confederate Veterans, Charleston, S. C, January 27, 1002.' General Order No. ?G: 1. The attention of tho commands of this division is eoruestly invited to the eloquont appeal in General Order No. 263, issued by our beloved com mauder, Gen, John B. Gordon. In this order he ask* tho aid of every Confederate Veteran to assist the no bio women of the Confederacy in tho holy work they have undertaken of erecting a monument to our martyred chieftain, Jefforson Davis. tVorda are not needed to slir in every C in federate heart a full sense of bis indl vidual and our c illeclivo duty to pay this tribute to our leader, though the cause for which ho sacrificed so much is tho ,k Lost Causo." His devoted widow survives him ami she is looking to the reunion with her husband, our chief, when she goes to join her noble husband on the other shore, and let her be able to tell him that his people, loyal to his memory, appreci ttive of his matchless devotion to their c lUoO, have completed this tribute to him and through him to Hie causo we all loved and for which, with noble manhood, be suffered, even to tho ignominy of having his foeblo limbs shackled. The monumeut to our leader, Jefferson Davis, is also one to the cause be led. It is a tribute not only to ono great man, but to tho thousands of heroes who gave their lives, thcit all, for the nolllest caiHC that has ever nerved the ?dr.tug arms of patriots?who upheld it with such magnificent devotion. 2 Your division commander calls attention to (Jon.

Telephones and Tkavbl.?Tele phones are beginning to mtiko their vslue felt in an interesting and strik ing way. Recent stock market gossip has it that the hotels and railroads in the vVest are complaining of tho loss of business which is followed as a direct result of tho use being made of long distance telephones. The people arc beginning to make uso of the phrase "Don't travel.

Our Washington Correspondence. The Plans for Making; a Model City?The Finest Thoroughfare in the World. Washington, 1). C, February 7, 1U02.?Special: The plans for beau tifying the city of Washington have progressed to a point which enables me to give a brief outliue of the con templated changes antl the widespread iuterest manifested m the subject, as demonstrated by the communications which members of Congress are con stantly receiving from all purls of the country, leads me to believe that such au outliue will provo interesting read ing. It must not bo understood that Washington is au ugly city. It is ono of ihe handsomest in the world, but there is an incongruous mixture of mag nlQcont public buildings and squalid negro shanties. Pennsylvania, avenue in its mile 1 >ng stretch from the Capi tol to the Treasury 1). partracnt is a han !6ome thoroughfare, but lined for a greater part of its length with build ings that arc as old as they are un sightly. At the upper end, near the Treasury, there are a number of flue building), hotels and newspaper offices, aud several prctcnl- stores. But ibe section nearer tu. Capitol still dates from ante-bellum days, aud shows it. Other portions of the city are in equal need of improvement and the plans now adopted provide for an ex tensive betterment of landscape and architectural conditions. To those who have not yet bad an opportunity to see Washington, and who may be un familiar with its general plan, a brief synopsis of its features will ho neces sary in order that the now scheme may bo made comprehensible. The Capitol is taken as the center of the city from which run, as spokes from the hub of a wheel, avenues, in all directions. Over these, at right angles, aro placed the regular city blocks, so that where avenues intersect with streets there aro small parks, or " circles," most of them contrwing statues or fountains. As a main axis to the west from the Capitol there is a wide tract of parking known us the " mall," full of line trees, and having among its lawns several public buildings, including Botanical conservatories, the Fish Com mission Building, tho Army Medical and National Museums, the Smithson ian Institute aud the Agricultural De partment. At its eastern cud stands the Capitol and towards the western extremity, near the Potomac River, rises tho tall shaft of the Washington Monument. Tho Mall will be improv ed to extend, in au unbroken line, past tho Monument to the river, where a magnificent memorial to Lincoln will bo erected, and on either side of it there will be classic buildings for the use of the Federal government. The Mull will terminate iu a Memorial Bridgo, connecting the city with Ar lington, the national cemetery. The railroad depot, now bisecting the Mall, will beremoved and a new union depot erected near tho silo of the present Baltimore and Ohio dopot, at the foot of Capitol Hill. But most people will bo interested in the improvement of Pennsylvania avenue, for tho majority of Washing ton's visitors cooio to the city at in auguration times, when that street is the center of attraction. When the improvements contemplated are carried into effect Iho inaugural procession will move botWCOU rows of stately building*, .dignified and intrinsically beautiful, rendering obsolet o the use of the inartistic bunting with which the present structures arc garnished on gala days. Thus the avouuo will truly become what it was originally planned to bo, the finest thoroughfare in tho world. All of tho contemplated build ings will be in pure Grcok architecture only slightly modified to auit modern needs, and will be constructed through out of white marble, this being in ac cord with many of the buildings now standing which will bo retained under the plans. A number of tho prosent structures will have to bo sacrificed, among them the beautiful Smithsonian building, built of red sand-stone, but almost valueless for exhibition pur poses on account of tho poor arrange* ments for light. To many thoro will be joy in tho announcement that the unsightly Pension Olllco building, which is, nevertheless, tho best con structed of all tho government build ings for office purposes, will bo re moved. It is a barnlike strucluro of rod brick, of which Genoral Miormnn once said, "It's a d-shame that it is fire-proof." In order thoroughly to understand the contemplated changes ono must visit tho Corcoran Art Gallery whero tho pictures and models of the now city arc to be seen. In ono largo room there is a model of tho city as it now is. and next to it one Bhowing how it will be when tho plans aro carried out. Tlieso models aro marvellous in themselves as they show every detail, although the scnlo is a very small one, so that the long facado of tho Capitol bocomcs a matter of only a few inchos and tho 55?fc/cot of tho Monument as about ?.??v huttls. Yet the modoling is so accurate^|lat every treo in tho city is shown, and one lookingdow: from tho temporary^ gallery around the models might ho able to pick out tho reduced facsimilo of his own homo. In these two models placed sido by side there is a direct object lesson in tho possibili ties of civic improve mont and a view of them will convinco the most skepti cal of the vu'uo of making the proposed changes. Hanged round the walls aro architectural drawings hy several of the most famous artists of the day showing certain features as they will appear when completed. Tho treat ment accorded to the Capitol, which H^^^^l^ijBi^i^i^l^HI*'1" tiow really faces the wrong way, en tirely removes that object1 on, by mak ing a series of torraces that will en hance the grandeui of the western ap proach to tho building, and make it tho important side. As origiually plauued it faced tho East as it was sup posed that that would bo tho dhectiou iu which the city would grow. But, like tho " course of empire," Washing ton has takon its way to the west and northwest, thus following tho rules of growth of all American cities whero topographical conditious do uot pre scribe otherwise. A GOOD JOKF, ON BLACKBURN The Vice President Who Told as Long a Story as the Ken tuckian. Washington Letter to Chicago Inter Ocean: Joe Blackburn, of Kenluky, is again iu tho Senate He has been out for several yours, but will return as a familiar Qgure ami take his old place as though he hod ucver been away. Joo, as ho is familiarly known, is so generally liked that his sho lcom ings uro, as a rule, ovei looked. Hut he has ono weakness that, his best friends cannot disregard. That is the never ending '.alk. Lot him once get the tloor, either in the Seuate or in the cloak room, and the only way to stop him is to let the meeting adjourn. Vice 1'residentStevenson is tho only man who is known to have evened the score against Blackburn. It wr.s at a private dinner one night, when Ste venson was Vice President and Bluck burn was a member of the Senate. The diners were all Kentuckians, with Proctor Knott, Stevenson, Blackburn and a half do/.eii other good story tell ers among them. Blackburn began to tell a story, and he kept ai it for an hour or more, without giving tho others an opportunity to get in a word ou his own or any other subject. They weie all weary of Blackburn's story, aud trying to lind an opportuni ty to break iu. At last Blackburn paused to take a drink, aud Stevenson was ready to take up the talk. He did uot lose a minute, but began by re minding Blackburn of their old college days, and continuing told about a duel in which bo and B'aekburn ligured as seconds. He gavo the names of the rtncipnls, and of others who were parlies to the affair. He described tbequirrel, tho place of meeting, the weather acd gave ;"il details at length. It was a graphic story as it was uu folded by the Vice President, and all but Blackburn enjoyed it. The s'ory had progressed to the point of the meet ing at sum be, when Stevenson di grossed todesciibo his own feelings as he contemplated the tragedy about to be enacted. Stevencon indulged in some moral reflections over this awakening of bis conscioncc, aud threw iu some line touches of Sentiment that added to the realism of the picture. Ho then de scribed with much detail the scene at the battlo ground as the principals took their places aud Blackburn, as an authority, began to give them their in structions. The sun was just rising over the bill aud lighting up the scene. The old Vice President had been talking for nearly an hour, and he, too, paused to take a drink. The 'others waited for him to resume, but be did not. "Well, how did the duel end?" asked Proctor Kuott. "Oh," said Stevenson, "it was so dark when doe got through giving in structions thai ll.ey could not sco to shoot, and the light had to be declared off." They all l.tughcd heartily as they discovered the point of the story, Im1, Blackburn never forgave Slcvmson for it. Miss Ella Conuard, of New York, until recently was employed by a life insurance company In that city, where her shrewd business sense bad come under the notice of an official of the Pennsylvania llatlroad company. The company was desirous of purchasing some laud in West .'5 lib street, to be used as terminals, but did not wish this fact to become public, for the rea* son that publicity of that kind would inevitably put the price away up. Miss Connard was employed to negotiate, for the property and so well did she man age that the company was saved a vast sum, the total payment being in mil lions. The clever young woman's com mission was of such proportions that she will have a comfortable income for life. South Carolina and Mississippi are the only two States now in which the negroes outnumber the whites.

Small men have big opinions of themselves. Whon you dig into o man'? vanity you touch tho spot whore his hatred for you lies. No woman likes to think that the man sho cares about would iathcr see her happy and plain lhau pretty and discontented. It seems ever so much moro to say that a woman is older than her hus band than to say a man is youuger thun his wife. There are men in this world who thiuk degeooruoy iu brnliancy ami vi ciousnc88 is smartucas, but, thank God, they nover g'it those ido is from their mother, If you forget lo toll a woman you lovo her she forgets you do. When a woman decides that a gown is cut too low ii is some other woman's. An onlorlaiuing friend is one who will listen to you tell the same oiel story for the ninety-ninth time. Some people's souls are so shallow that if you throw a pebble into them it stiikes bottom before it splashes. Tho average girl thinks it is small lo try to make other girls think she has refused to marry a mar. when sho is in hysterics for fear he won't ask her. Take c-xro of the ponuit 8 nnd the pounds will spend themselves, What a man wants lo do with a wo man is to love her in her way and let her lovo him in the same way. You can fool a woman into thinking sho is fooling you, but you can't fool her into thinking you are fooling her. When a woman goes into a dry shop to buy a spool of thread sho begins by pricing $2,60Q Kussinn sables. A ninu can 1 >ve a woman with a ?1?? and he can lovo a woman with a cat, but lie quits at a widow with threo children. When a man saya it ia snowing hi mcauH that it is snowing now; a wo man menus that it was snowing yester day or will snow tomoirow, or that ii is doing anything but snowing now. One woman breaks a mau's he. it and some other woman mends it. Kven if a man's money could hold out forever he could novel'get a corn i on expel ience. A woman's idea of a go id refcri i c< is something you give to a bad co k 11 get rid of her. Tu KHK Was a Limit.?They havi just moved into their now home on tin upper West, Sido. Everywhere th? n are signs of luxury, c uiiforl and go ;l taste. An old friend dropped ? 11 n Sunday lo have the mtdd n meal And after that was over ibe tn> les marked : *4 Now, then, I know you wsni t< stroke, so j 1 t come up to tho libian and enjoy yourself." Arrived there, tho guest commoi i d on the. boauty of Iho ro ,-u nnd its ex cellent appointments. 'I'be wife was obviously ploascd 5 Iho husband sloo by assuring the visitor thai it was all due to bis belter half's uxqu site It ti and judgment. 44 Yes," sho went on, 44 1 made up my mind that this room was to bo Mb J erty Hall. Here the only questiou was oue of comfort." The visitor glanced about at tho big roomy chairs, the cosy lounge with t - hoaps of etnbro'doicd cushions, und finally seated himself in an armchair near the wiudow. " II is coinf01 table," he said. 44 Well, I'm gl'id you think so,*' slu answered ; 44 thia is to be our I ving room." .Suddenly she turned, and hei voice was troubled, tremulous, Oh, for goodness sake, George, don't siVoil those cushions I" And the hapless husband, just ab ut to Und repose, amid Ihn downy richm su of the multiple cushions, sighed soft I)', crossed over and dropped into 11 ch lir, remarking meekly : 44 Light tip, old < bap, am thing go< this is Liberty Hall,you know." And then ho winked. N. Y.
