GREENVILLE, South Carolina. Dec. 10. A. P. I Kobert
(Jnillcn, noted newspaper paragrapher and humorist, has erect

near here, to Eve, the first woman.
'The monument which Mr. Quillen says is the first that man
kind has erected to Eve alter an estimated filXK) years of his
tory, was carved by a local marble cutter and was given this
inscription :
"In memory of Eve, the first woman."
To make the shaft harmonious in every respect, Mr. (Jnillcn
has a "nicely carved apple with a twig and lestf" placed below
the inscription, lint the neighbors "stared at (he monument with
incredulous horror," says Mr. (Jnillcn in the current issue f
his paper, the Fountain Inn Tribune.
"I'm sorry." he adds. "I never hurl anybody's feeling or offend

Kve was a fair and charming lady and deserved a liner monu

alter 6000 years ol" history none of her kinsmen have erected
a stone to her memory."
The author further explains that "Eve was a distant relative
of mine ou my mother's side." and that she was "the first lady
of the land, a reigning belle of her day" and that the monument
is an effort to atone for ihe "unpardonable neglect of her by her
