telligent young lady of Bloomington,

Hospital Tuesday for treatment for
mental troubles. She was violently in

escaping or doing damage to herself or
others. Miss Malone was engaged to

ing the spectacle of so large and distin-
guiShed an assemblage gathered for a
ceremony which testified to the friend
ship existing between the two nations.
In few weeks, he said, the statue of
Liberty, transported by a French ship
of war, would raise its radiant head on
this spot and illuminate these beauti-
full shores. That symbol would give to
this harbor new and singular ma
jesty. The European setting foot OH
American soil will discern in this
beacon q protection more effective than
fortresses, protection residing in the
fellow feelings of liftymillion freemen.
1t will be the emblem and foredawn-
ing of new era Of international fra
ternity, Of emancipation, and of peace
tul arbitration.
