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

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

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

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.

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

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

thick; at tho base they aro fifteen feet.
A hundred peoplo can stnud here in

though from tho ground thoy appear

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

Only thoso who walk up or down tho

turo. Tills makes ono think of tho Father

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

in stono by workmen of Philadelphia,
has had its piston rod broken off nnd car

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.
