event-one that has already been herald

Il fund whCrcwith to commemorate with
monument the achievements Of the
man who is not only the father of the
fraternity, but the founder Of the art
ltselI-the venerable SAMUEL +. B. MoRsE,
now somewhere past his four score years.
Saturday this monument was unveiled in
Central Park, New York, in presence of
vast multitude, with appropriate ccre.
monies, honored by speeches from the
Governor of the greatest Of American
States, the Mayor OF the metropolis ofthe
Western Hemisphere, and from the most
eminent Of American poets In thoeyen.

the Academy Of Music, where he was put
in communication with the telegraphic
stations in all parts of the world, and with
his own hand sent them greeting and
