appeal TO the president and Secretary La.

cided not to modify his recent proclamation
The object OF the cattlemen was to get o

could use their influence there to checkmate
the president. So many congressman arc

New York Special: 8 Col. Fred Grant cam,
down to New York, and after looking the
ground over, concluded that Riverside Park,
New York, near Central Park. should be the
jplace OF sepulchre. The matter having been
thus presented to the family, a conclusion
Swaa reached in accord with the colonies
SUGGESTION .-lz N 3
The Riverside Park covers III acres, and :
it HAS been in possession OF the city since
1872. 1t is 1870 feet above the water level,
and on clear day one can see up the river
more than twenty miles. Every tourist
that comes down the river can see the mon,
ument when two hours distant froniit, and
every pleasure seeker that leaves the city
for day snif on the Hudson 'can-view it.
in the rays OF the morning sun and in
sthe evening twilight. It is easily ,ac-s
scessible. 1t can be reached by the
elevated road, the cable cars, the horse cars
ior Hudson River railroad. u The burial
place will be on the site OF the St. Glare,
homestead, now known as the Claremont5
plateau at the end Of Riverside Park. The
building was the home Of the st. SClars1
family, and, when the grounds about it,
were acquired by the city, the old building,
which has stood for more than 100 year,
on the same site, was re1nodeled and trans- I,
formed into o. sllOuse for refreshments under
the control Of the park department.. The
tomb and monument to Gen. Grant will
be directly on the site OF this building,
which must be demolished or removed \,

Grants Personal Courage.

An officer who served on Gen. Grants
staff, says: W. ne! k}f{ ~
II "a description OF the general would be
incomplete without some reference to his
absolute GOODNESS in the presence Of danger.
He may have known what fear was, but he
certainly never evinced such q feeling, and
was sometimes actually reckless in the way
inwhich he would expose himself to danger.
Whenever he thought it necessary to havea
person knowledge Of what was going on
in front, heWould ride out; to the skirmish
line, directly under fire, and would stay
there until he had learned what he wanted.
On some OF these occasi ons he ran great
risks, but did notipay the slightest heed to
the approximations Of the staff, who would
beg that some OF them might be sent to make
the reconnaissance Tor him. II he made
