WASHINGTON, D. C, May K-TrlbuU
lM paid" today to to memory of Jean
EapUste Donatien do Vlmerue, Vlcomte
da Rochambeau when tbt Hamar monu
ment to the illustrious patriot and gen.
eral wu unveiled lis the presence of the
President, bis cabinet, a distinguished
delegation representing the French gov
ernment and many other prominent
guests. Tbe statue Is placed to" Lafayette
Square, opposite the Lafayette monument,
'where, a vast crowd of people congregated
this afternoon to witness the 'unveiling
ceremonies.
, President Roosevelt spoke' briefly and
extolled Vlcomte de .Rochambeau. Sena
tor Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachus
etts, sounded the clarion not of the day,
delivering the chief oration. Both ad
dresses were sincere. eulogies of the char
acter, devoted fealty to the cause of lib
erty and the courageous qualities of tbe
hero whoso statue served, to Inspire the
sentence.
The President and his cabinet, together
with the French visitors, were escorted
to Lafayette Square by a considerable
number of troops. These Included cav
alry and Infantry from Fort Myer and
Washington Barracks and detachments of
marines and sailors: The Frenoh military
forces were represented by a large mili
tary band and a detachment of marines
from the battleship Gaulols. The crimson
red of tbe artillery troops, the rattle and
clatter of the horses and Held pieces, and
the mafiy marching infantrymen served
to tint the procession With Just enough
martial color to make it form a fitting
preliminary-to the unveiling of the bronse
monument to the famous French hero.
The' French visitors rode in carriages
tinder; cavalry i escort They ' included
Genera Brugers,. Commander-in-Chief of
the French army: General de Chalandar,
one of whose ancestors was a Lieutenant
sf Rochambeau; Lieutenant-Colonel l'Her
tnlte. Captain Pollloue de Saint-Mars,
Captain Lasso a, Vlce-Admirel Foamier,
M. Jean Gulllemln, Robert de Billy, Count
Paul de Lafayette and the , Countess
Rochambeau. ,ii:iu;M - "
The Countess Rochambeau bad toe hon
or of pulling the cords that loosed the
drapery of French- and American flags
concealing the monument The Countess
was given the signal and she seised hold
of tbe ropes with a quick, determined
grasp. She gave one pull and then an
other. Therowd stood as one man, ex
pectant and intent. She jerked harder,
and within a moment the folds about the'
monument began to shake apart. Grad
ually they dropped away, and all at once
they fell from the monument in a heap
and the sun lighted the whole work.
President Roosevelt bad risen from bis
chair in the special stand and members
of his cabinet and the French visitors
were also on their feet As the statue
came into full view Its magnificence was
strikingly presented to the people. A
mighty cheer, such as welcomes the great
ship as she slides Into the water after the
christening, was heard, and the bands
truck up in concert the French national
air.- - r"7TfT tT.Tsr --h?:.'"
Herbert D. Pierce, third assistant Sec
retary of State, was master of ceremonies
and made a short speech In which he re
ferred most eloquently to the French hero.
The statue unveiled today is a replica
of the one by-Ferdinand Hamar, which
was unveiled at Vendome, France, two
years ago. It stands facing Pennsylvania
avenue, westSof the White House, In a
position .corresponding to that occupied
by the memorial to Lafayette, 'which oc
cupies the southeast corner of Lafayette
Parkveast ., cf ;the Whits House, The
statue was erected with an appropriation
of I7.W0 by Congress. . It is a handsome
affairs of bronse on a marble base and is
said to be a striking likeness of Vlcomte
da Rochambeau. From base to top the
monument stands over feet high.

young couple and the "opposition of the

which -afford a wealth of humorous sit

show how a true American can surmount
everything, even millions, for the girt

the attention of all to first a laugh and
then a bit of pathos, so well blended
that the story seems to be that of every

THE BAKER.
In order. to attest tbe appreciation of
the many patrons, and to satisfy the nu
merous demands for a fitting memento
of the Stuart Stock Company, the' man
agements of the Baker theater has pre
pared an elegant toovenir.. which win
be presented to each patron at the Sat
urday matinee,' ' as a signet to seal the
close of Monte Carlo, and at Sunday's
afternoon performance a sduvenlr of the
entire company will be presented sis a
brilliant herald Tor the week's bill. Dur
ing the week the company will produce
Bronson Howard's play, ' The Banker's
Daughter, and every effort is being put
forth to make the presentation a per
fect one.
The story of the play has. no doubt
been heard beiore in other avenues of
life, but it goes to show very forcibly
that money and position? in life do not al
ways insure happiness. The banking
firm of Babbage & Westbrook find that
they are In straitened financial circum
stances, when Westbrook discovers that
the cloud of ruin will rise before a daz
zling sun of prosperity In the event of
his daughter's hand being given to one
Strebelow. The father consents to the al
liance, and Strebelow presses his suit,
which the young woman in order to save
her father from destruction encourages,
although unknown to. her parents her
heart is given to another. Her father,
thinking that his daughter is ignorant of
his financial straits, exults in his daugh
ter's Wedded , happiness, and his own
temporal preservation.
.The daughter, though now wedded tJ
Strebelow, still entertains her lover of
olden days, and this secret tryst is
watched with eagerness by an ardent
though rejected suitor, the Count de
Carojac. At well timed moment, the
Count picks a quarrel with Routlege, the
accepted lover, and kills him in a duel,
giving as his reason for the challenge,
his compromising the name of Mme.
Strtbelow., .-, .
This is the first Intimation that Btre-
Slow has of his wife's dual loverbut in
der to vindicate the wrong done her
as his wife, he challenges the Count and
kills blm -in the encounter. After the
struggle Is settled, and he learns that his
wife was really In love with Routlege,
he obtains legal separation from his wife,
as a result of which she. with their one
child, returns to the borne of heii father.
On the occasion or Mr. Westbrook e;
sister being engaged In writing some bus-'
Iness letters., the little one displays anxi
ety to write also, and having no one to

BAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-In quan
tity, quality , and prices Pacific Coast
orchardlsts should have a banner season.
This is tbe opinion of James 8. Watson of
Chicago, president of Porter Brothers
Company, one of the largest shipping
firms handling California green fruits.
Mr. Watson has bad the fruit districts
canvassed and the prospects for a great
yield are flattering. His agents have
visited tbe fruit regions of the Eastern
and Southern State. They report there
wlU be a shortage In many localities.
On this account ths demand for Coast
fruits will be greatly Increased, with a
good Influence in prices. In New Tork,
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and elsewhere
there will be a shortage that must be
supplied from this Coast
"Orchardlsts of the West." continued
Mr. Watson, "should get at lot of Eastern
money during the green fruit season Just
opened. In my reports about the Eastern
fruit prospects I find them poor in New
Tork, especially, for plums, peaches and
cherries. Late frosts did much damage.
There will be a neavy crop of apples. In
th Long Islahd district there will be an
excellent crop of -fruits. As to the New
England states. (There has been some
slight damage by frosts, but ther will
be an average' crop of small fruits."
