Perhaps few people have passed the Statue of Liberty at night without feeling that this wonderful landmark ought not to remain shrouded in a mantle of dark ness. In clear weather this wonderful gift of France to the people of the United States does full justice to its mission of "Enlightening the World," but at night, except for a beacon at the apex of the statue, there is no il lumination. Thirty thousand dollars is needed to install a lighting plant, The amount is being' raised, and one of the metropolitan newspapers heads the subscription list with $1, 000, and expresses the hope that the remaining $29,000 may come from as many patriotic Americans as there are dollars to be collected. The plan is to make the movement entirely pop ular, and therefore Email subscrip tions, including pennies, nickles and dimes, are to be solicited. The Statue of Liberty was placed on Bedloe . Is land in the Harbor of New York in 1886, and the inauguration ceremon ies were' celebrated in the presence of 1,000,000 people. Grover Cleveland was president of the United States at that time, and he was in attendance. Another statue that has attracted public attention is that of Horace Greeley, which has long occupied a very fitting place in front of the New York Tribune, the newspaper he founded. For many years the Greeley Statue has stood upon the sidewalk in one of the most congested parts of tne city, notwithstanding . that its presence is a violaion of city ordin ances, which 1 have been enforced Kgainst every class of property holders, who were obliged to remove all obstructions that projected over the building line. In order that the statue may remain permanently in an appropriate place, it will be presented to the city of New York, and given a i place in the immediate neighborhood i i..i:.. .: : 11.. i.j ui 'Hie locality iiloi -icauy associate with the making of newspapers, and which Horace Greeley helped make famous. City Hall Park, which faces Printing House Square, will undoubt edly be chosen as a permanent site for the statue. When Albert K. Dawson was a boy in his native town of Vincennes, In diana, he dreamed that some day he I wouia see the great wide world. I American boys somehow are npt to j have such notions. Dawson grow to 'manhood, and became a junior mom ibor of the firm of Brown & Dawson, 'photographers, at Stamford, Connec ticut. Two months after the war : broke out, young Dawson started for I Europe, where he followed the armies ! of the Central powers f()r eighteen 'months. His experiences were enough jto satisfy any ordinary appetite for I adventure. On one occasion his , camera was shot away from him, and jhe risked his life time and time again 'in order to get war pictures. In the j year and one-half since Dawson went away his hair has become streaked with white. He was condemned to ho I shot on three occasions, and arrested siventy times. The Serbians were 'his most relentless enemies, and while he was their prisoner they kept him on the anxious seat three or four days I at a time, during which periods they ! regaled him with stories concerning ; plans that were beinrr made to shoot him. Dawson's experiences ought to prove to other adventurous youths that war-stricken Europe is a good place to stay away from at the pres ent time. I New Yorkers delight at times to I get back to the chnrms furnished hy i Mother Nature, and since it is so dif- ficult to go to the country, its people iare continually devising means whjre I by they can bring the country to the ;city. During the meeting of the Gen ' oral Federation of Women's clubs a !pine forest at least there were three j hundred trees was utilized in decnr : nting the Seventh Regiment Armory, j Twenty thousand of the most repi e ' sentitive women in the country at : tended the convention, nnd Father Knickerbocker extended his glad light hand to them in hearty welcome. Of course the Boy Scouts were out in ! force, as they are upon every oc casion, helping to make things ngree- able for the ladies whom the boys 'no doubt regarded as almost ns im- Famous Hood-River Clark Seedling: Strawberries 3 for 50c Milton, Magoon and Gilxson varieties 2 for .. ........ 25c La Grande Fruit Company portant as themselves. As a matter of fact the Boy Scouts of New York have developed into such great prom inence that the question of the wisdom of the movement is being seriously debivted. '. Mrs. Vernon Castle has returned from Europe, where she went to see her husband, who has enlisted in the British army, and is a member of the aviation corps. Mrs. Castle is quite delighted with her Vernon, and she says: "At last he has his wings. He looks lovely in his uniform. Within a week from now tie expects to be sent to the frori', in the scbuting di vision." Of course she expresses no fear that her distinguished spouse might be shot full of holes, thereby ceasing to be useful at cabaret per formances in the future. Mrs. Vernon Castel was summoned before the King and Queen of. England, and showed the royal personages her beautiful Broadway glides, by means of which she' and her husband suc ceeded in piling up a fortune. The dancing queen has a peculiar fascina tion for a net monkey, which she car ries with her; but of course this ec centricity adds to the amount of space that she has been getting in the Metropolitan newspapers. She an nounces her intention of dancing ex clusively for the movies in the future and this will give the public a chance to see her for a nickel, or a dime, which most people are willing to admit will be a big improvement over the old-stylo method, by which it was necessary to pay one's way through the expensive process of meals and drinks at gilded hotels and restau rants in order to see the famous Castles. As a result of the sensational de velopments, resulting in the indict ment of two public officials, charged with wire tapping, it is learned that the practice has been in operation in New York for many years. .It is al so probable that the system of es pionage of conversation, carried on under the direction of the New York police, is in common practice in many cities throughout the United States. While telephone subscribers have felt more or less secure in the use of this mean3 of transmitting communica tions, yet it seems that a good deal of the comfort they have assumed, does not square with the conditions. While it is admitted that there may have been some justification in the practice among the New York police, in tap ping subscribers' telephone wires, yet inu uisciosures nave s-arueu iew York to such an extent that official wire-tapping has become decidedly unpopular. midshipmen will then go on leave for a month. The ships of the squadron will stop at points after reaching Provincctown ns follows: The Mis souri, Portland; the Rockport, Boston; the Wisconsin, Portland; the Boston, Glouchester; the Ohio, Boston; the Rockport, Salem.
