' II ' the steamboat; j Norfolk, i Va Oct 10 Bejieving that itj is especially appropriate that the name of Robert Pulton should be honored at the Jamestown er-Centen-nial Exposition to be held at Hampton Roads j near Norfolk in 1907, the au thorities of that great celebration have decided to set aside! a day to be known as Robert Fulton day. The New York state commissioners have appointed Hugh Gordon Miller, now o"f New York, but formerly of this state, a representative: to arrange with the "authorities for the special honcrs which will be paid to the memory of Robert Fulton at the Exposition. He will appoint such committees as., may bo necessary. I A movement is now on foot in New i ; , York city to have a gigantic monu ment erected in some! part of the city commemorating Fulton's name. It is proposed1 to build this memoriarat a cost of more than $600,000. It will serve hot only, as a monument to the man who introduced steam navigation but alsp as a tomb. Cornelius Vander bilt is the president and Mark Twain the first vice president of the associa tion which has been organized to erect the monument. ; Those at the head of the movement desire to raise the money necessary to erect the monument by public sub scription and are making vigorous ef- A t 'V: forts to popularize the movemnet. The official i name of the organization in Park Row, N. Y. A number of designs have been submitted to the association for its approval. The one which has so far secured most "approval from the committee was submitted by the sculp tor Leopold Bracony and shows on its base in. base relief the industries that have developed through the help of steam nagivation. It further symbol izes the manner in which the steam boat .has brought together the four corners of the earth. The monument is surmounted by a statute of Robert Fulton contemplating a model of his first steamboat, the Clermont. It is proposed to mount the statute on ' a ho-low shaft inside of which will be a i ' i - i winding stair. f I Among the famous persons associat ed in the project to honor Fulton are the following people: : John Jacob As tor, i Andrew ! Carnegie, -Joseph H. Qhoate,; Frederick Gallatin, Governor Frank W. Higgins, Levi P. Morton, Melville E. Stone, George J. Gould, Bishop David H. Greer, Mayor George B. McClellan, General Frederick D Grant and Nicholas Murray Butler. It is expected that the setting aside of a special day in honor of Fulton at the Jamestown Exposition will give quite an impetus to the project for erect ing a. monument. j Mr. Temple Killed a Bear BRUIN BEEN DOING UP THE CITI ZENS' HOGS, NOW THE CITIZENS DOING UP BRUIN THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER BEAR HUNT, AND THE ECONOMIST MAN WILL BE THERE.
