Just 100 years ««o next August, Robert Pulton, after many years of effort, succeeded in making hip trip on the Hudson In his famous steam- driven ship, the Clermont The story of the birth of steamboat navigation is one filled with the rivalries and jealousies of inventors who had for years been struggling with the prob­ lem of the application of steam to navigation of ships; and the contro­ versy as to who was the original in­ ventor of steam navigation has been thrashed over and over from that time to this. But however strong the claims of Rumsey, who tried a steam-driven vessel upon the Potomac, in 1785, or John Fitch, or Patrick Millar, or Na­ than Read, or even Robert L. Stevens, : who navigated a paddle-wheel steamer oq. the Hudson only a few days after the successful trip of Fulton, it has been practically conceded that Rob­ ert Fulton is entitled to the credit for Ab a boy Fulton was filled with the idea of boats and boat propulsion, and at the age of 13 he had constructed paddle-wheels which he applied with success to a fishing boat. He had a strong artistic bent, and several years of his young manhood were spent in painting miniature portraits, land­ scapes, etc., besides making mechan­ ical and architectural drawings. At the age of 21 he went to London, where he practiced his art, and it was there that he began his experiments in mechanics under the patronage of various wealthy persons with whom his art work had brought him In touch. He patented a mill for sawing marble, and later made plans for the construction of cast Iron aqueducts, and a great work of this kind Was built across the river Dee. He also patented in England a ma­ chine for spinning flax, a dredging machine^ a market or passage boat, a dispatch boat, and a trader, am- Special Correspondent Writes of Things of Interest ait j (lu State Capital. wmrnm Proposed Design of the Fulton Memorial Monument. jthe first practical application of steam las a propelling power for vessels. That the memory of the great in­ ventor may be perpetuated, the Rob­ ert Fulton Monument association pro- Jposes to erect on the banks of the {Hudson a marble and bronze monu- Iment to cost $600,000. The clay mod- <el of the monument has been com- ipleted and approved, and now all that remains to be done is to raise the necessary money. The design em­ bodies the broadest Ideas of the re­ sults of Fulton's invention, the idea .being that all industries have been developed with more or less rapid­ ity through the application of steam to navigation, and that through the same agency the four quarters of the earth have been brought together in commerce and intercourse. The design shows, a heroic figure <tf Fulton contemplating a model of < I V*"v J Cornelius Vanderbilt, President of Fulton Monument Association, the Glermont, surmounting a shaft In which is supposed to be a wind­ ing stairway to the observation land­ ing. At the base of the shaft are sym­ bolized the various spheres of human Industry, and the corners of the base are ornamented with ethnological groups depicting the four races of men, or, in other words, the four cor­ ners of the globe. The materials to be used in its construction are white marble and bronze. The story of Robert Fulton's strug­ gle* with the problem of Bteam naviga­ tion is an interesting one, his earlier attempts proving failures, as did those of numerous other inventors at work on the same problem. Naturally She Was Surprised. "Why,, papa," said the fair girl, "wasn't that singular?" "Wasn't what singular?" the old gentleman asked, as he examined the railway tickets which he had just purchased.

His treatise on the Improvement of Canal Naviga­ tion, written about this time, re­ ceived wide circulation, and a copy was sent to the president of the United States by the author. Soon after this Fulton returned to the United States and continued his experiments with torpedoes, and the government appropriated $5,000 for the testing of his torpedoes and sub­ marine explosives. As early as 1793 Fulton had turned his attention to steam navigation, but it waB not until ten years later that his efforts took any tangible shape. Then with the financial assistance of Chancellor Livingston, he launched a steamboat on the Seine, which, ow­ ing to faulty construction of the frame, immediately sank. Another boat was built, with the old machinery, and a trial trip was made, but no great speed was attained. However, encouraged by this par­ tial success, Fulton ordered an en* gine to be sept to the United States, and returned to this country to con­ tinue his experiments. Early in the spring of 1807 the boat which was to navigate the Hudson, and especially the system of steam navigation, was completed at a ship yard on the East river. The engine was put in later, and on August 11, of that year, the Clermont steamed up the Hudson to Albany, the voyage occupying 32 hours. Thus was the world given tjbe first steamboat of practical value, and the "credit and honor for the great achievement are undoubtedly due to Robert Fulton. For this reason it seems fitting that the centennial of that notable achieve­ ment should be marked by the erec­ tion of a monument to the great in­ ventor. At the Jamestown exposition next year it is planned to observe Robert Fulton day, when the naviea of the world will be represented in Hampton Roads, and a naval review surpassing anything yet seen will be witnessed. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who is the president of the monument as­ sociation, will sail at the head of the ships of war in his yacht. The design of the Fulton monument Is by Leopold Bracony, and It Is pro­ posed to raise the sum necessary to its creation in marble and bronze In small subscriptions, and to place the names of all donors of ten dollars or more upon bronze tablets with which the Inner walls of the tomb, where the remains of the inventor will rest, are to be lined.

"With a typewriter," rejoined the humorist, and his smile widened. But she stared at him quizzically. "Oh," she said, "I thought you used some copying process." --Cassell'a Journal. Springfield. -- Attorney General Stead in an opinion given to the state civil service Commission declares that the power of the commission to make appointments does not extend to coun­ ty jails and poorhouses, the institu­ tion for the insane at Dunning and the John Worthy school in Chicago. While the act creating the state civil service commission says it shall have power to make appointments for all state charitable institutions and those Institutions over which the state board of public charities exercises supervision, the attorney general holds that, taking Into consideration the act, it was evidently the intention of the legislature to Include only those institutions under the direct control and supervision of the state, and that by the words "other institu­ tions over which the state board of public charities has control" are meant those state charitable institu­ tions erected Bince the act of 1872, which defined the state charitable in­ stitutions. There have been, erected since that date nine of these institu­ tions. Deny Petition for Mandamus. The supreme court denied the peti­ tion for leave to file a petition for mandamus in the case of William R. Brand of the Thirty-first senatorial district. No opinion was handed down in the case, other than a brief statement from Chief Justice Scott, who announced the deolsion of the court. Justice Scott said the court had decided not to hear the case for the reason that no result could be obtained at this time. It was pointed out that the last day on which a cer­ tificate of nomination in the district can be filed with the secretary of state Is October 6, and the court could not hear and dispose of the case be­ fore that time. In the event the sen­ atorial convention were ordered to vre- assemble and nominate Brand, the chief justice said, before this could be accomplished it would be too late- to get the certificate and a decision In the petitioner's favor would avail him nothing. Brand sought to manda­ mus the delegates of the convention to nominate him on the "first ballot. Fine Showing of Wool Sheep. Illinois is rapidly . taking rank as one of the fine-wool producing states of the union, and this fact was es­ pecially evident at the sheep exhibi­ tion at the state fair. Though the finest examples of sheep from all parts of the country and from abroad also were on the grounds, none showed better than the animal raised within the limits of this state. In the sheep exhibition this year were dis­ plays from Canada, New York, Wis­ consin, Indiana and Nebraska, and the finest sheep raised in those states were shown. They included Shrop- shires, Oxfords, American Merinos, Cheviots, Cotswolds, Delaine M-e rlnos, Southdown, RambouUtets and Hampshires. 8tate Fair Closes Doors. The state fair closed October 5. Though for two days the rain has fallen all morning and thereby de­ creased the attendance at the fair, the gate receipts this year were $57,083, against $58,274 last year, which was the largest previous receipts. The receipts this year will be amply suf­ ficient to pay all expenses of the fair. October 4 was governor's day at the state fair, and there waj» a great crowd on the grounds. Gov. Deneen and other state officers, Senator Cul- lom, federal officers, and judges of the supreme court of Illinois held an in­ formal reception. . Hard Roads Requested. Thomas Campbell, of Rock Island, candidate for the legislature, called on Engineer A. N. Johnson of the Illinois highway commission and brought the request of the road commissioners for a road in that township. Mr. Camp­ bell stated the local people had raised the necessary funds for the work. An­ other request for an experimental road was received from the highway commissioners of Ross township in Edgar county. No 8ettiemen{ There. "Mrs..

City Engineer Hamilton has com­ pleted his plans for the new dam at the waterworks in Springfield. It will be 290 feet across and three feet wide at the top. The base will measure 28 feet and will be of concrete. It is probable that the matter will be re­ ferred to the waterworks committee and a report will be drawn as soon as possible to give an opportunity to let the contract and commence work be­ fore the winter season* Move for New Legislation. Preliminary steps in the movement for the enactment of new legislation by the next general assembly were taken at a meeting of the Illinois As­ sociation of Justices of the Peace and Constables held at Springfield. A legislative commltte was appoint­ ed with instructions to use every hon­ orable means to secure laws of benefit to the justices and constables of the state. The object of the association, which was formed several months ago, is to secure a more uniform1 adminis­ tration of the justice act and to pro­ mote such legislation' as may be deemed proper and desirable. It is the belief of the association that the Jus­ tice court can be made more effective to secure payment of costs to justices and constables, particularly In crimi­ nal matters. I| is also urged that In certain cases justices should be given full jurisdiction where not now accord­ ed them; that the legislature In a number of instances may cure by slight amendments, ambiguities in certain sections, not with a view of altering the adminlstratibn of the law, but to embody in the statutes the re­ sults of judicial constructions, thereby limiting the field of construction and securing a uniform administration. The members of the association say that It Is realized that justices as a class are not supplied with the Illinois and appellate court reports, the great­ er number not being lawyers, and are not in a position to easily acquire a familiarity with the decisions of the courts, which, they say, are just as much a part of the law of the state as though embodied in the statutes. In all that will or can be done to make the justice court more effective the constables will have an equfl interest with the justices. County organiza­ tions of justices and constables have been formed In a number of counties and it is said have been found helpful. It is not proposed by the state asso­ ciation to ask special or class legisla­ tion, but everything asked for, the members, say, concerns the whole peo­ ple, even though some of the matters may be supposed to be of particular interest to justices and constables. Would Prosecute Railroads. Attorney General Moody has direct­ ed that suits be brought against a large number of railroad companies to recover penalties for violation of the safety appliance law through failure to keep their equipment in proper con­ dition. * The largest number of viola, tions attributed to any road is 51 against the Delaware & Hudson com­ pany. The total number of violations are 181. The defendants and the dis­ tricts in which suits are to be brought Include: Chicago & Alton Railway company, Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day­ ton Railway company, southern dis­ trict of Illinois; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company, northern district of Iowa; Cleveland, Cincin­ nati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway company, northern district of Illinois; Duluth, Mlssabe & Northern Railway company, Great Northern Railway company, Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway company, district of Minne­ sota; Wabash Railroad company, southern district of Illinois. Veterans Visit State Fair. Reunions of four Illinois commands of the civil war were held in the state house October 2 In connection with the state fair, which threw its gates open to old soldiers, it being "Vet­ erans' day." Several thousand of the gray haired fighters came from all parts of the state, and all honor was shown them. At the statehouse sur­ vivors of the Second cavalry and the Eighth, Seventeenth and Fifty-fourth Infantry regiments held meetings. Gate receipts at the state fair were $12,000, which is $7,000 more than the same day last year. October 2 was Mayors' day and 60 municipal execu­ tives were present The meeting was designed to secure from the mayors ideas for the improvement of the state exhibit. Honored by Miners. James Burns, Jr., president of the Springfield subdistrlct, has been ap­ pointed a member of the ftate execu­ tive board of* the United Mine Work­ ers of - Illinois, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of his brother, Daniel Burns. Daniel Clark, of Springfield, who has been vice pres­ ident of the Springfield subdistrlct, 'frill succeed James Burns. Mr. Burns has been president of the Springfield subdlstrict the last four years and his ability resulted in his appointment on the state executive board. ^4 Married In State Capitol. .^ Elmer J. Clow, of Motttlcelto, and Grace E. Piper, of Slsca, had a desire to be married In the capitol artd their wish \$as gratified by Judge Murray, of the county court, who performed the ceremony In the supreme cdfart room of the building. The selection of the particular place In the state house for the wedding was left to the judge. He chose the hall of justice because he said that a wedding sol emnized there is generally jL good in dilation that the couple.jriU be just to one another. Board of Agriculture Officers. The state board of agriculture held Its annual election and George H. Madden, of Mendota was made presi­ dent. The following n%w members of the board were elected: Seventh dis­ trict, J- J- McComb, Chicago; Twelfth district, A. J. Lovejoy, Roscoe; Twen­ ty-first district, Charles Wood, Spring­ field/ R. W. Elden Resigns. R. W.Elden, of Elburn, 111., who has been connected with the state high­ way commission since its organiza­ tion one year ago, first as secretary and later as assistant engineer, has resigned his position to become as­ sociated with the editorial staff of The Engineering News. Modify 8chwartz Decision. The supreme court gave Indication of a disposition to modify its opinion In the Schwartz case, under which It declared unconstitutional the law un­ der which Schwartz' son was ordered committed to the St. Charles Home for Boys. On its own motion the court ordered reargument of the case. It was explained that there is some dl vision regarding the opinion on the bench and that the reopening of the case Is due to the fact that the per­ sonnel of the court has changed since the opinion.

ONE T YPE QF THE \% CUBAN REVOLUTIONIST M#*y are Freebooters and Cat-Throats eager for the Oppor- f": tuaity of Plunder. - % To Meet 1n January. » For the purpose of organizing an association styled the Central Mlsls- sippl Valley leBague, a convention has been called to meet at Qulricy January 20, next. The object of the league is fully and systematically to exploit advantages of the central Mississippi advtntages of th6 central Mississippi valley. Each commercial organization will be entitled to one representative. An invitation to attend the convention has been received by the fiDrlngQeid i Business Men's association. • < A significant word from Cuba since Secretary Taft went there in effort to bring about amicable settlement of the revolution is that in many cases the insurgents are becoming restless, the discipline Is bad and many are breaking up into bands for the pur­ pose of independent movement with view to plunder. The fact of the mat­ ter is that many of the revolutionists are' what might be called freebooters and cut-throats, and have welcomed the present state of disaffection in Cuba as affording them an opportunity for their lawless deeds, such as they enjoyed In the "good old days" under Spanish rule when murder and rapine were events of every day occurrence. From its earliest history there has existed in Cuba such lawless class of people. At one time a few genera­ tions ago, they infested the coast as pirates, swooping down with their lit­ tle sloops or schooners upon all un­ armed vessels which chanced their way, and as such they were only final­ ly suppressed by the British, who as late as the '30s, drew a cordon around the island outside of the three-mile limit, which with little hesitation they reduced to suit their convenience when It came to the matter of pur­ suing a suspicious craft. These crafts methods, which multiplied with each fresh outbreak of an insurrection, that inspired the Spaniards to commit many of the cruel deeds attributed to them during their struggle to main­ tain theh- grasp upon the island. The Spaniards called these outlaws "bandldos" and always pursued them with more or less relentless vigor, but their buccaneering methods were such that neither the Spanish Guardia Civil nor the Spanish infantryman was very effective against them.v. They, like the buccaneers of old, lived off the coun­ try, and the country suppitiedall their immediate necessities, whether their depredations were carried on In or­ ganized bands or by roaming Individ? uals. In the fertile tropical land of Cuba the life of these freebooters is com­ paratively easy. As a matter of fact, after these Cuban gentry have tasted of it, it is hard for them to relinquish it. They live in a land of eternal sum­ mer, where In normal times cattle, honey and sweet potatoes abound. Why should they work when God has given them so much? The peaceful farmer of the interior, no matter how little he labors In the field, produces a great deal more than he can con­ sume, and he is ever ready to share Kind of Country In Which the Freebooter Thrives. w#re chased Into some one of the numerous coves or bays which indent the coast of Cuba, and when their crews were captured they were taken to Jamaica for trial, where it was a short shift between there and the hangman's noose. Frequently the veB- Bels were driven ashore by the Eng­ lish cruisers, and the crews of the pirate ships, making their escape, be­ came pirates on land like the old-time buccaneers of Hlspaniola, with the dif­ ference that they rarely made war upon the country people, who almost Invariably stood in with them. The remnants of these pirates, or freebooters, have existed in Cuba to the present day, their ranks having been recruited from time to time by the country people who, finding them­ selves in some difficulty with the au­ thorities, preferred the free, careless life of the freebooter to going to pris­ on. It can scarcely be claimed, ex­ cept in rare instances, that the pres­ ent day semi-lawless set in Cuba is formed of the descendents of the orig­ inal pirates, although their methods and manner of living are about the same. Occasionally an individual may be found who will tell you unblushlng- ly that his father or grandfather was one of the pirates. As a rule these people are without religion, laws, or sacred traditions, and when the op­ portunity has occurred they have com? mitted deeds of shocking ferocity, scarcely equaled by those of the sav­ age Indians on our frontier when they were upon the warpath in their most palmy days. In some respects they are worse than our savages, for the Indians made war only upon their enemies and were always true to each other, being bound together by their own laws and traditions. But it is not so with these Cuban freebooters, and it was owing to their treacherous it with whomsoever comes along, and consequently the roving freebooter, who would be a simple tramp else­ where, finds subsistence easy. - He may be a fugitive from justice, and then he learns to look upon ay those who are rich or In government service, either as civilians or soldiers, as his enemies, and he only awaits the opportune .moment when a leader steps forth to^organize him and others like him into a formidable band. After the insurrection #as over and the brief war with Spain had been fought Out the country was so com­ pletely devastated that, such of these ex-freebooters a3 remained were obliged to come into the towns and cities, where they posed as patriots and came in for their share of loot in the way of Red Cross supplies issued to starving reconcentrados. Then there was that pay which the Ameri­ cans ceded to Gomez to pay his sol­ diers, when as a matter of fact his so-called army had been practically exterminated before the beginning of the war with Spain. They came in for some of that. The supplies and soldiers' pay quieted the turbulent spirit of those former outlaws for a time, although during the occupation of the islands there were many examples of their capabilities.
