CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK

The following appeared in the New
York Evening Post. June 18th
We all know that mechanical inven
tons are the popularity of our age, and
have much to do with producing and
distr. buting our most important COM
modities, while they promote the edu-
cation of our people by taking the
heaviest burdens from their hands, and
by securing time and means for instruc-
ton. II is proper, therefore, to hold our
inventors in honor and to present them
and their inventions to the public eye in
fitting monuments
Ii has occurred to a number of our cit
liens that a suitable monument should be
erected in the Central Park in memory af
the late Elias Howe, Jr., the inventor Of
the sewing machine, and that the money
should be raised by voluntary offerings of
not more than one dollar each from ladies
who have known the benefits of the inven-
tion. Elias Howe, Jr., was not me rely
successful inventor, whose needle machine
more powerful and humane than the fam
ons needle gum" has changed wholly
the face Of one Of the most universal and
fatiguing kind of domestic toll; he was
also good citizen and earnest patriot,
who freely gave his money and time, and
was ready to risk health and life for his
country.
1t is understood that an experienced
sculptor has satisfactory design for an
impressive monument, with studies mod
elled from life, and that gentlemaa Of
well-known integrity and thorough ac-
quaintance with the history of the inven-
ton is ready to act as Treasurer.

took refuge when the town was
