Washington. D. C., June When:
Thomas 8. Purcell, the builder of
the Washington Monument, a 655
foot obelisk, which dominates the
buildings at the capital, died a few
days ago, tho reminiscences which
cling about the marble shaft wer>
recalled to mind. 'Purcell wa$
'eighty eight years old and bad spent
! tho greater- part of nla life in superintending
tho building of stone edi
flees.
Kvcry year or two the monument
does something to draw attention to
j it. For instance a freak story wis
circulated about the shaft, a year
ago to the effect that Its. material
was rotting. This libel gained the
most extensive credence. Stories
were printed by practically every
newspaper in the country and photographs
of decaying blocks were;
shown. It was claimed by some geo-!
legist that the poor quality of material
which the wallY of the" monument
are Ailed was going to bring
about the destruction of the building.
Ho cUlmed that this filler was
rotting and causing the'decay of the
OUJter walls. He went so -far as to
point out the delayed places. There
was a vast deal of newspaper talk"
about the matter but after a while
the story wss forgotten, laid on the
shelf with all the other ftreaV Ules.
The monument still stands.
n when Charlie Street, a baseball
player. wanted to prove how
clever he was at catching ihe emblem
\>f hie profession he picked out
the Washington monument as the
proper structure to immortally hi?
achievement. Street sent a confederate
to the top of the monument
fnd had him to toss s baseball out
bpe of the windows five hundred feet
in the air.N He caught the ball and

n the charge of having atrahgled her
^quitted. Her name had bpen linked w
lent of the French Republic, and with de
lated To Zl
ington Monument
the old monument again enjoyed a cai
short season of publicity. tn<
At a still remoter period somebody c*c
chose the Washington monument aa by
the only proper medium to teat the ot
truth of tbe saying that a cat lias
lime uvea, a feline In tho prime pi
tft life was selected for*the test, tak- ul
en to the top of the shaft and dropped
from one of the windows. The
cat followed the lines of the itrueture
all the way to the ground- On
alighting it got to its feet, walked a
few steps and laid down and expired. *01
| Its back was broken..
i These* are instances of what sort
jof anecdote the Washington r.onuIment
is piling up as adjuncts to the.
Istory of its life, andi there are older 1)6
stories .which are nearly ancient wl
[enough to be labelled legends.
Tho obelisk, itself, was built In pl-(
two sections. A historical ibc^ety th
.built the first part and then ran out re'
.of funds. Work gtnp pod for a long
tljne and then the government appropriated
money for the completion
Of the shaft.v Prom tho inside may
be seen blocks of all shapes and sis- ad
ep bearing Inscriptions in all langu- w
ages the gifts of foreign nations, or- fic
ganizationa and Individuals. f c<
One of these, about which clings 111
an interesting tale, was donated by 86
tfce Pope of Rome and later lost. This Tl
was a tremendous block weighing a ar
ton or more which was to have been
inserted In a very prominent place.
The stone was delivered to the monument
base and reposed thero for

mystery. The pope sent no other dj
block. ^
So.the wealth of lefeend. tate and CI
anecdote about the Waahlnston noon- tT
undent increases, and probably will
increase so lone as the shaft stands.

an was that of the Siamese twins
For a few days after the birth o
e twins their separation by aft op
stion was considered. The prac
ial certainty that the operation pro
sed would result in the death o
e of the twins and might provt
t&l to both led to the abandonmen
the idea. In case of the death o
her of the twins a speedy opera
in would be necessary to save o;

Aside from the fact that they ar<
Ined at the hips, the twins have n<
