THE centennial of the battle of Bunker
Hill was observed in Boston yesterday in
manner entirely worthy of that great city.
The New England metropolis spared no pains
and no expense to make the occasion the
most striking memorial celebration ever held
in this country. There was probably never
so large number of people before gathered
together in one city for a similar purpose.
Visitors were present from The remotest sec
tions of the country. One of the pleasantest
features of the celebration was the large rep
resentaton from the states lately in rebellion.
The cordial feeling with which the Southern
ers were received shows that the animosities
engendered by the war are fast dying out in
Northern hearts at least, and leads to the
hope that long before the close Of the centen-
nial epoch the people of this country will be
at one again in tAer desire for the perpetuity
of the Union.

and finally securing the quarry at Quincy. He
gave $1,000, and only accepted his expenses as
compensation for his labors. james S. Savage
was appointed builder. The estimated cost Of
the obelisk was 100000, and in the spring Of
1927 the monument was fairly under way. AT
| ter carrying the monument fourteen courses,
| about 81 feet high the work was suspended for
| want OF funds. In 1888 on the proposition of
| Amos Lawrence, the Bunker Hill Monument
| Association joined with the Massachusetts,
| Charitoble Mechanic Association, which was to
assist In carrying on the work. A part of the
land was sold for S25, 900. and the work was re-
sumed June II, 1884 Generous subscriptions
were made, and fair was held in Quincy Hall,
at which over $4,000 were raised The last
stone was raised July %, 1912, and in the fol-
lowing year there was grand celebration in
honor of the completion OF the monument.
The cost of the obeisk was about $l20,000;
fencing and grading, $4,000; contingent ex-
peUses $4,000; total S156.000.
Monument square contains about four acres.
and embraces the whole site of the redoubt and
part of the site of the breastwork. Warren
fell about 200 feet west of the monument and
fiat granite block marks the spot. An iron
fence encoses the square, which has an en-
trance at each side and corner, and is surroun-
ded by walk aud rows of trees The obelisk
is 30 feet square at the base, about 10 feet at
the top of the truncated part and 221 feet lin
height. Within the shaft is "a hollow cone
with a circular stairway winding round it to
the summit, and entering a circular chamber
at the top. There are 80 courses of stone in the
shaft six of them below and 84 above the
ground The cap stone is a single stone, four
feet square at the base, three feet six inches in
height and weighing two and half tons. The
obelisk contains four faces of dressed stone, be-
sides the steps, the outside and inside OF the
shaft and the outside and inside of the cone.
The outer wall is six feet thick at the bottom
and two feet at the top. The corner stone,
about nine tons in weight, forms the ouoin at
the northeast angle. The cone commences at
the top of the first course. Its exterior di-
ameter at the base is ten feet, at the top six
feet, three inches; its interior diameter at the
base seven feet at the top, four feet, two inch
es. There are 294 steps winding round it, of
eight inches rise Numerous apartures admit
light and air. The chamber at the top is Cir
cular, eleven feet in diameter and seventeen
feet high, with four windows. Here are the
two brass field pieces which in 1925 were pre-
sented to the association by the state. Direct
ly in front of the entrance, is model of the
original monument to Warren, made of italian
marble, and nine feet in height.

Bunker Hill Monument.
Hts Inception and History.

AS early as 1776 the idea of a monument to
perpetuate the mem ory of Gen. Warren was
contemplated, but the unfavorable period i'm
mediately following the war, delayed carrying
out the idea until 1894 On the I'd of December
in that year. a monument was dedicated, hav-
ing been erected by King Solomon's lodge of
Freemasons on Breeds Hill, few rods west of
the present monument. 1t was Tuscan pill
lar, built of wood, eighteen feet high, raised
on a brick pedestal eight feet square, and ris
ing ten feet from the. ground. 1t wus sur
mounted by gilt urn bearing the inscription,
81 W., aged 35" Its cost was about $1,000,
and in 1926 it was presented to the Bunker Hill
Monument Association.
As the American revolution won more and
more the admiration of the world, there was a
general regret that no more enduring me mo-
rial had been raised to do honor TO national
sentiment William Tudor, one of the most
patriotic citizens, desired to see on the battle
ground the noblest column in the world. In
company with DR.. John G. Warren he
watched the spot, and kept it unoccupied, and
IN 1922 he purchased three acres. 1t was de-
termined to commence the undertaking, and IN
May, 1928, public meeting was held at the
Merchants Exchange, Boston, to start the
NOV ement. Among those present were Daniel
Webster, VIM. Tudor, Jesse Putnam and
Theodore Lyman, Jr., and an association was
formed to procure an act of Incorporation, au-
thorzng them as trustees to collect and hold
subscriptions for the erection of an enduring
monument. June 9TH, an act was passed es-
tablishing the Bunker Hill Monument Assocl-
alton. Under the auspices of the latter the
fiftieth anniversary of the battle was celebrated
| with great splendor, and ground having been
| broken, the corner stone was laid. Gen. La
| fayette accepted an invitation to take part IN
| the ceremonies, and Daniel Webster, president
| of the ASSOCIATION, was the orator. The cele-
| bration exceeded in magnifcence anything that
| had been seen in New England.
There was an immense procession, including
| the Masonic fraternity, the military, veterans
| of the revolution and citizens. The corner
| stone was laid, but before the work was fairly
| commenced it was rejected and another substI-
| tuted, the plate in the former being removed
| and placed in stone in the northeastern angle
| of the structure On this plate the name of
| Alexander Paris appears as the architect of
| the monument. This was a mistake, as the
design came from Solomon Willard, one of the
| most earnest workers for the enterprise. Par
| ris was early consulted and submitted plan
| for a monument, but was never engaged as ar
| chitect. Mr.. Willard was appointed architect
and superintendent, and his design of an obe-
| lsk was adopted. He rendered valuable ser
vice searching the country to procure material,

THE relative value of the secular and reli-
gious press has been determined from the
point Of view of the treasurer Of the Rock
Island and St. Louis Railroad. That officer
in giving his testimony before master in
chancery in regard 10 the affairs of the unfor-
tunate CORPORATION said that he gave $4,000
in bonds of the road TO Mr.. Henry G. Bowen
to secure favorable notices in the Indepen-
dent, while he only gave $4,000 to Mr.. Mil
lis, financial editor of the World, to do the
same favors for him in that journal. So it
seems the religious paper commands double
the price of the secular. 1t should be nen-
toned however that Mr.. Bowen allowed the
use of his editorial columns in aid of the cor
poration, assistance which Mr.. Mills had no
power to give.

THE North Carolina Democrats hit upon a
unique way to celebrate the Bunker Hill Cen
tennal, but the obstinacy of GovernorB Brogden
broke up their plan. Learning that the Gov
ernor was intending to visit Boston ON the
18th they arranged to have number of Off
ces filled by the Lieutenant Governor Ia
Democrat) in the absense of his chief. Gov
ernor Brogden heard of this programme, and
concluded to remain at home. So this novel
mode of celebration had to be dispensed with.
IT is evident that there is great financial
crisis in England. The heavy list of failures
is enlarging every day, and indications OF
great crash are strong. Over speculation In
the past and the present depression OF busi-
ness are assigned as the causes.
