Washington, March 21. Everybody goes to see the tnomimcnt. Of tho ninny thousands of patriots who caino hero during tho Inauguration jublleo, it is es timated onLMpmrtor made tho ascent of tho great white shaft. Train conductors say tho monument is tho Unit thing in coming passengers begin to talk about, Thoro Ian rush to tho car windows nnd n n PACKINO TUB ELKVATOIt C.U1. flood of imiulries. Ouco within thucity, it is imposslhlo to oacapo tho fascination of this hugo obelisk. It can bo been, tower ing to tho clouds, from all parts of tho District of Columbia. Wherever ono goes its beautiful proportions and bright mox nro in view, stimulating Hcntimcnt nnd exciting curiosity. The visitor mny bo a vcrltnblo aborigine, ti stoic, in his indiffcrcuco to thoso things which attract tho common cyo, but there is n fascina tion about this overshadowing structuro which in tho end conquers all comers. "Oh, I don't want to sco tho monu ment," says tho indifferent visitor to tho capital; "1 havo read all nbout it. Wouldn't walk across tho street to boo It." Tliis is on tho day of Ids arrival. Hourly thereafter his vision falls upon tho shaft. Tho farther ho goes from it tho taller it seems to him. Tho nearer his view tho vaster it appears. Thoso llttlo dark spots away up near tho top, which ho knows to bo windows, attract his attention. IIo wonders what can bo seen from them, how it feels to bo up so high and what sort of n view it is tho bird gets of a great city. Tills goes on for a day or two, and then ho snyH to his friends: "Suppose wo mako up a party nnd go over to tho monument this afternoon." It is ono of tho days of tho inaugu ration period. Thoro urcso many peoplo awaiting n chanco to rido up tho eleva tor that a lino lias formed outsido tho baso of tho shaft. Tho peoplo huddlo to gether closo to tho great stones in order to find protection from tho wind. Tlioy find themselves standing on top of a hill fifty feet nbovo thn surrounding land. It is an artificial hill, built up out of a swamp. They amuso themselves looking up with check resting against tho wall. Tho monument appears as if it wero about to topplo over upon them. It is a startling illusion. Hero two men observo that eotiio of tho stones havo cracks in them, that pieces of granito havo peeled off and fallen. Ono bays tho monument will collapso in a hundred years. An other thinks it will bo a thousand. A civil engineer, a man who seems to know "WE'LL WAIT If'OIt YOU AT THE TOl', what ho is talking about, calmly says that the shaft will stand a million years, unless sooner thrown down by an earth quake. Tho inaugural visitors are numerous. In ono day 10,000 persons mako the as cent. There is a closely packed crowd inside, gathered round tho elovator in closuro and huddled under tho iron stairs. As there is but ono door to tho shaft tho attendants require visitors to walk around tho olovator before enter ing tho car, leaving nn open passage for tho exit of thoso coming down, Tho car is on its way up now, and tho crowd impatiently awaits its descent. A turn ing of tho faco upward shows a gloomy well, n mass of iron beams, a few dim incandescent lamps, n study in aerial perspective, and away up, just discerni ble, n bit of daylight, Tho visitors think thoy are crowded hero. White and black, silks nnd rags, nro jostling together. Hut lot them wait till thoy get into tho car boforo talking of a crush. Somo havo not tho patlenco to wait. The attendant tells them tho ascent of the car requires ten minutes, unci tho descent ten or twclvo more. Bo they ctart up tho Etairs. It b a gentle acclivity, a good, broad iron step, and tho journey is liegun with nlmblo feet. A smooth faced, jolly man, accompanied by two ladles somo what his junior, starts off at a great rato, gayly waving his handkerchief to his tuoro patient friends below. "n 1 ill ill fy ti We'll wait for you at calls out, and disappears. tho top," ho Now tho car conies down and bo ninny passengeis alight that tho hopes of tho waiting ones, who havo feared they would bo compelled to wait till another trip, nro revived. As noon as all havo passed out tho loading begins. "Now, take It easy, ladles and gentle men," cries tho attendant, as tho crowd begins to push and surge. "Ono at n llmo now; don't push." At tho door of tho car stands tho con ductor, who is also the loader. Ho is a skillful man. Probably ho could beat tho average woman packing a trunk. At nny ratu ho bents all records in packing elevator cars. IIo makes tho peoplo sit just so, and stand just so. Ho cords his passengers up, having an oyo to their thickness and thinness. A fat man ho stands in tho middle with a lean man on either ttido. In tho next layer aro thrco men of nvcrngo hIzc. Children nro used to 1111 in thu Interstices. There nro somo strnngo juxtapositions in this human sar dine iox. Tho wlfo of a New York mill tonulro and n Ilaltimoro oyster canncr ii to standing closer than sisters. Tho governor of a western statu has been crowded Into such n position that ho has his arms almost around an ox-slnvo from Virginia. When tho packing is completed tho conductor shuts tho door. A man is (log ging to bo taken nboard. IIo repeats tho stale joko, "There's always room for ono more," but tho conductor sadly shakeu his head. IIo pulls tho wire roponud tho ascent is begun. Tho conductor becomes communicative, too. "Tlint joko nbout nlwayH room for ono letfiro makes me very tired," ho says. "I hear it nbout four times out of live when I get my load on, nnd you can imagine that it has liecomo n llttlo monotonous. I know when tho car is full. Wo carry just thirty-llvo persons, not counting babies in arms, and I count tho peoplo ns tlioy como through tho door. I don't vary tho number except on rare occa sions. Peoplo average up to a nicety in weight and size. Still tljero nro excep tions. Onco I struck a party of young peoplo from Now England. I waa nblo WHUHE UE WAITED. to get in forty-ono of 'cm, and tho closer I crowded them tho better thoy liked it. Onco wo had a party of brewers here, and I was astonished to find tho car full at twenty-nine. "Aro tho women afraid tho olovator will break down? Not many. Never had a woman faint on my hands yet. Sovcral men havo asked mo to stop and let them off, nnd my experienco is that tho men nro more timid ubout tills thing than tho women. About two weeks ngo an odd incident occurred hero. You sco that tho car jolts a llttlo on tho up trip. It doesn't do that coining down. Well, wo were on our way up and had reached tho (150 foot lovel, when n woman was taken seasick, and wo had to stop and let her off. Sho was very sick, and an awkward placo this is for troublo of that Eort. "Wo played a joko on a man hero ono day thnt I thought was pretty clover. IIo was intoxicated, and madou nuisanco of himself. I stopped tho car, opened tho door and sung out: Top of tho mon ument. All out; but this gentleman out first.' As soon as the drunken passenger had stepped out I closed the door and pulled tho string. Wo let that man out at tho forty foot lovel." Up and up goes tho car. Soon tho air begins to feci damp and cool, liko that of a cavern or cellar. Thcro aro queer echoes. Tho whistlo of a boy sounds liko a steamboat's blast at a landing. Somo youngsters, running on tho iron steps, produco a racket which makes a timid llttlo man think tho monument is falling down. Two or thrco workmen, riding on top of tho car, halloo to tho conductor to stop, and their voices Bound Btraugo and uncanny. And still up and up. After what seems to bo n journey of a quarter hour tho 800 feet mark is seen. And horo tho passengers break into a titter, for tho smooth faced, jolly man, who left his friends so gayly at tho foot of tho bhaft, is beheld reclin ing on tho bi&irs, iiis Siul besido him, wearily wiping Ids rainy face. T H oc V4KSH NGTON THE FRE S OM FEDERATION D CLI T A RPECISIKN OK VANDALISM. Now the passengers get a glimpso of tho tablet Moues set in tho wall. There aro several scores of theso and more to bo put in. Sauntering up nnd down nro eeen loving couples hand In hand, (leorge Washington's monument Is an Ideal lovers' retreat. There nro gloomy corners and Inscriptions to stop nnd gnzo at while hands are being squeezed nnd hearts nro beating fast. Ixivera scorn ttio elevator. And still up nnd up. The passengers make jokes nbout getting nearer Itvuven than tlioy had' ever hoped, about tlto pi os pec U if tho car should dro. Dignity Is forgotten. Tho mill ionaire's wlfo chats with tho oyster enn iter, tho governor tickles tho freedmau's ribs nnd they laugh together, Btrnugo clement of human nature, that nnliody appears to think of Georgo Washington! Now tho ear stops. Tho top has licon reached av last. All out. Evcrytiody Is surprised nt tho roominess of this ob servatory, B00 feet utiovo tho ground. There Is more room hero than atlho liot torn. That is because tho walls aro thin ner. Hero they aro hut eighteen Inches thick; at tho base they aro fifteen feet. A hundred peoplo can stnud here in comfort. There nro eight windows, nnd coo n:i'.T aiiovi: the kautii. though from tho ground thoy appear mere specks of black, hero they nro seen to bo largo enough for n man to jump out through, Strnngo thnt nobody has yet availed himself of tho opportunity. There is no glass In tlieso windows, but thoy can bo closed with slabs of stono swung in iron frames. Of course it is it marvelous view from this observatory. Tho l'otomao looks liko a trout brook. Tho Virginia hills are nt fyour feet. Tho city spreads out liko a llguro in tho carpet of your parlor. On a clear day tho bluo hills of Virginia can bo neon. With a good glass tho bat- tlo field of Manassas, twcnty-flvo miles away, can bo discerned. Uoys playing baseball on tho sandy shores of tho river resemble tho nnts you sco nt your feet when strolling on term flrmn. a Only thoso who walk up or down tho stairs realize tho immensity of tho struc turo. Tills makes ono think of tho Father of his Country, too, for tho tablets brentho adoration and iovo of him. Somo of theso monuments within tho monument tell, too, of tho unworthlncss of his children. There are scapegraces in nil families, and Georgo Washington has not escaped. Tho vandal has boon hero. IIo has scribbled his nnmo everywhere, oven on tho carved open Diblo. "John Smith" is scrawled across tho granito offering of Egypt, which is older than history. Sculptured figures in has relief havo. lost arms, heads, legs. A locomotive, carved in stono by workmen of Philadelphia, has had its piston rod broken off nnd car riod away, and half tho spokes of its driving wheel. So many of tho bronzo letters screwed upon ono of tho tablets havo been removed that ono enn only guess what tho original Inscription was. Shameful vandalism in n sacred spot. Walter Wellman IN HOT HONDURAS. An ICnerviitlnc Cllmuto nud un Uupru- Cremdtn I'l'nplc. Sfx-clnl CorresKndence. Ampala, Honduras, Fob. SO. Look iu your geography and you will find Hon duras to bo n fair strip of land nearly as largo as Now England, located in Span ish America, und stretching from tho Caribbean sea to tho Pacific ocean. It is wholly within tho torrid zono. Thoy call it tho Now El Dorado, perhaps just ly. From what I havo seen of it tho country is certainly beautiful, tho land most fruitful. Centuries ngo, when tho Spaniard was lord of this realm, Honduras paid vast tribute to tho mother country, nnd gold was as plentiful as any of tho baser metals. In fact it is more a statoment of historlo truth than a romantio legend that tho Spaniards in Honduras, 800 years ngo, shod their horses with golden shoes, iron being more difficult to obtain than tho yellow stuff. So rich was tho country that Spain built a masslvo for tress on tho Caribbean sea to hold tho royal treasure. Tho "king's fifth," which was demanded from Honduras of all tho bullion gathered, was a mighty sura, and thu ruins of tho old fort show today tho great vaults where tho gold bricks wero piled. Spain built her pal aces, cathedrals nnd ships with tho money from her distant possessions, and when Honduras aided in driving her from tho field tho loss to tho Castilian was inestimable. I supposo Honduras now is ns rich in hidden treasure us bho was then. Tho entire country is filled with half worked mines, and to tho superficial looker on tho now El Dorado is really located in tho slow, easy going and tropical repub lic. Hut, if so, it will never bo developed by natlvo energy, for of that there is nono. A Honduras native, or half breed, tolls not, neither does ho spin. A llttlo ccffco, u few bananas, a bunch or two of peppers, and a dash of maizo supply his physical wants. Theso tho soil gives him without cultivation, nnd ho is con tent to dozo his lifo away. Ho may work occasionally in tho mines, where his pay is fifty cents a day, in debased coin; but ho is not a steady toiler, and ho has no idea of progression or advancement. Ono cannot blamo him. The climato may bo salubrious, but if. is hot und enervating. When tho American comes hero, as ho does occa sionally, with his dash and hurry for flftevo millions of American money is already invented iu tho Honduras mines lio boon loses his activity nnd bottles down into a thin, slow moving south erner, with a well developed liver. Ho sits under hisown palm tree, sips "aqua dlento," which is as strong as Hercules, and whllu ho tftlkn loudly for Honduras, In hU heart hn knows thoro Is no placo liko homo Still, I cannot decry this Interesting republic, for much of it is fairy laud, r.ud Its volcanlo hills nro iniigullLonl as well ns productive. As compared with jwplo I havo neon in Costa Wen nnd Colombia, thn inhabi tants of Honduras nro really Christian ized nnd clv'llzod, but their Industrial developments aro a hundred yearn or more behind tluwo of tho United SlutcH. In agriculture, still more. A wooden plow, drawn by a yoko of oxen, Im a fa miliar sight: and corn in ground in nbout thu name manner that tho Kgyptlaus ground It 11,000 years ngo, In planting grain a long Hhnrp stiok is used, with which n holo Is inado In tho ground, thu grain dropped in nnd left to nature and tho tlch soil without any further attention from tho husbandman till harvest time. And yet good crops nro raised. Tho bushiest habits of the peoplo aro slmplo, and judging by tho ciiho with which every matter of business Is char acterised it would lead to the assump tion that they were not accustomed to trade, yet such In far from tho truth. They bargain well, whether thu amount Ih) for a dollar's worth or a d lino's, Tho store is generally In ono corner of a front room, opening on tho htreet and resoin bllug an old fashioned corner cupboard. Hero nro stowed laces, muslins, prints, groceries and other commodities. Tho retail price of an artlclo Is less than tho quantify price, lly tho quantity it Is more than likely to bo double in prlco, for tho simple reason that you want them and therefore must pay. In tho two cities, however, are found largo stores, tho proptietors of which do busi ness on a more modern method. In many of tho largo towns are mar ket places, where tho country peoplo go to Roll their marketing corn, leniiH, oranges, IcmotiH, pineapples, melons, coffee, tobacco, sugar, cheese In lino, everything from thu haciendas to tempt tho appetite und appeiiHo it. Tho sen orlta, with her dark olivo skin well washed for tho occasion, In Iter nlco camlsa not reaching to her waist, and with a skirt independent of any contact above, smokes her clgnrita and laughs with tho bargainer, whilo her Bparkllug eyes entice the unwary foreigner to pur cliaso at un exorbitant rnte. Outsido tho mines nnd tho two big olt les there is practically no labor. Farm ing is little known. Tho plucnpplo, tho banana, tho lime, tho ornngo, tho cocoa nut, tho coffee bean nnd the pepper grow in wild luxuriance. Thoy furnish food and drink. As for raiment, that is sim ply ornanientnl not necessary. In tho country they wear next to nothing, and tho people are bo densely Ignorant that they know of no outside world and havo no ambition beyond the animal needs of tho day. The government is modeled after tho United States, but tho voting is confined to tho cities. Awny from them peoplo scarcely tako advantugo of tho suffrage. The president of tho rcpublio Is, as a matter of fact, an absolute despot. Tho ono now in iowor happens to Imj an intel ligent, earnest nud educated man, Ixmis liogran by name. Ho is a half breed, who was sent abroad and educated In Germany. His predecessor stolo a fow millions and now affects Now York. Bo gran is doing what ho can to develop tho country and is prodigal in ills land gifts to foreigners. 1 wns talking yester day with Mr. J. D. Daniels, principal owner of tho Potosi mines, in tho Depart ment of Chonluteca. He is a Philadol plilan, who three years agocamo to Hon duras. From tho coast ho worked hia wuy to tho capital on tho only two modes of conveyance, tho back of a natlvo and tho back of a mule. IIo saw Ilogrnn, told him ho was looking for a tract of land ricli in mineral, which, if ho found, ho would try to develop. Ilogran sent him down toward the Nicaragua lino, where Mr. Daniels found what ho wanted. Then liogran presented him with ono hundred miles of rich territory, an abso lute legal irift. and told him to do what ho could with it. Mr. Daniels did bo, and is today the owner of a mlno which yields him a couplo of thousand dollars worth of gold a week. "If our peoplo will not develop our mines somo ono must," says Dogran, so ho gives away miles of territory to any foreigner who wants it. HIch as Honduras is, it is not a pleas ant placo to live in. Tho hot season lasts from January to December, and for six montns of that time rain is added to heat and lifo is a burden. Whatcom passcth n man if ho gain the gold of tho earth and loses tho joys of existence? Truo it Is that when tho president gives a grand ball at tho capital superb appear ing women robe themselves in imported dresses, diamonds Hash, nnd tho scene is gay and brilliant ns n famous danco at Delmonico'H or a diplomatic feto at Paris or Derlin. Hut the cultured nnd tho rich nro very fow in number. Tho peoplo, as a rulo, aro strangely simple, ignorant and dull. Thoy live in an atmosphere of tho past, and, while a grade ubove tho Costa Iticans, they havo no knowledge, and consequently no yearning for our modern civilization. Frederick W. White.
