to be interviewed, her sons anu
intimate friends of the family have from time ~

transferred On Monday last her son, Ulysses,
speaking for her to a reporter said: 'As to he

criticise or TO commend. The Sc ection OF the
burial place was made after careful consldera-
tion.'

subject some time ago said: she mrs
Grant has always been satisfied with
the selection of Riverside park, and has always
taken q deep interest in the tomb of her hus band
and its surroundings. She visits the tomb
daily, when in the city. On the anniversary OF
the generals birth and death, she personally
superv ises the planting OF flowers about the
tomb. Mrs. Grant fully considered all me ad.
