GRACE GREENWOOD. west have both
made contributions to its elegance and
comfort. A marble bust of the authoress
sculptured years ago is one of the not
able adornments. It might be taken
for an ideal head, 1t is SO refined and
beautiful.
Grace Greenwood was the first woman
newspaper correspondent in Washington.
She began her journalistic labors there
as long ago as 1850, and although she has
published many volumes of poems,
travels and stories her literary reputa-
ton rests chiefly on her journalistic
work. Her descriptions of Pacific coast
scenery when ii was comparatively I'M
known were SO vivid as to attract notice
everywhere, and her correspondence
from Europe during her nine years resi-
dence abroad added greatly to her
fame. In children's literature she is ac-
knowledged to be without rival, and
her poetical work is of a superior order.
She achieved fame as a lecturer
at time when no other woman
could secure the respectful attention Of
an audience, and she did it without the
least effort to initiate the masculine
oratory of the day. trusting wholly to
her feminine eloquence and wit.
OF course it is we'll understood that
Grace Greenwood" is a pen name, and
the real name of tho authoress, Sara j.
Lippincott. is almost as well known as
that which has been signed to her lit
erary productions for so many years, but
there is story about her pseudonym
that is not generally known. Mrs. Lip
pincott's family name was Clarke, and
at her birth her mother named her Grace
Ingersoll, after very dear friend, and
she was called Grace until she was 3
years Of age. The name did not please
her father; however, and he one day took
the child to church and had her baptized
Sara Jane Stewart, in honor Of two maid
en- ladies of prosaic names and lovable
characteristics.
When she wished to adopt a pen name.
her mother suggested Grace Ingersoll''
as appropriate, but her mothers friend
was still alive and prominent in French
social circles, and the young writer did
not think it wise to adopt her name.
The mother still chung to the name Ora J,
however, and finally made the sugges-
ton that Greenwood" be added to it,
as the daughter was fond of riding about
the forests. Thus originated the happy
ALTERATION that has since become so IA
nous. Although now in her SEVENTEEN
year, Mrs. Lippincott still does excellent
literary work.

AT the Woodfords Congregational
church yesterday, before the sermon,
the pastor, E. P. Wilson, said to the con-
gregation that during the week he had,
in consultation with several of the lead
ers of the church, taken the responsible
ty of sending the following telegram:
To President Cleveland:
The Woodfords, Me-, Congregational church
seconds the appeal for the executive action
against the opening of the Fair on Sunday.
Mr.. Wilson said that the other
churches of Maine were taking the same
action, SO he and his associates had ven
tured to speak for the vote. He would,
therefore, ask for the endorsement of
the church, and would request those ap-
proving the telegram to arise. Nearly
the entire congregation arose, the vote
being unanimous.

concerning the military organization of
that country, but there were not wanting
those who construed the order az practi-
cally measure of censure.
1t may have been the spreading of this
sentiment among the people that caused
the ovations which the general received
on his arrival at Marseilles and Paris re-
Gently, or it may have been that the
''party of revenge" was simply seeking
new center around which to rally. Ger
tain it is that the League of Patriots,
who are the organized representatives Of
that party, had a prominent part in the
management of the ovations, going SO
far as to placard the walls of Marseilles
with circular offering, General Dodds
the succession to Boulanger, which con-
cluded with these words, General, do
your duty, and If parliamentarians re-
sist thrust them out at the door,"
General Dodds is tall, handsome
man and looks like the soldier he has
proved himself to be. He Is mulatto,
English, French and African blood
mingling in his makeup. His GRANDPA
ther married the daughter Of a French
man and an African woman, and his fa-
Their married a native of Senegal, who
came Of Norman family. The general
was born in St. Louis, Senegambia, in
1842 and was educated at the French
military school of St. Cyr, where he
graduated in 1854 with the rank of sec.
ond lieutenant Of naval infantry. He
was promoted to first heutenancy in
1867 and to captaincy in 1862 At Sc
dan in 1870 he was taken prisoner, but
escaped and rejoined the army. He
fought through the Franco-G German war,
the conflict with the commune and the
campaign in Tonquin, coming out of all
of them unscathed.
He has been in the service in Africa
since 1871, except during the Tonquin
campaign, and was made major there
in 1879. lieutenant colonel in 1883 and
colonel in 1857. He was commandment
at st. Louis'i in 1890 when Colonel Terri
Ion conducted his campaign against
King Behanzin and was made COM
mander in chiefof the expedition in 1899,
on the successful conclusion of which he
was promoted to be general and made
an officer in the Legion Of Honor.

tive fiction. In the first place his name
is an alias. When he came to this conn
try in 1854, penniless emigrant from
Germany, he was called Heinrich He'll
gard. He was born in Speyer, Bavaria,
and graduated from the gymnasium Of
his native town the year before he emil
grated.
Having some literary ability, he COM
menced writing for German publica-
tions. and after he had mastered Eng
fish continued his connection with
journalism for some years, up to 1874, in
fact. when he branched out as fnan-
cier. In that year he was sent out from
Germany, where he had been reporting
the Franco-German war, by a committee
Of German bondholders of the Kansas
Pacific railroad, which had defaulted on
it's interest. He was finally appointed re-
ceiver of the road, and this appointment
may be said to have given him his start
as financial skyrocket,
AS early as 1869 he had conceived a
lcheme for the consolidation of various
steamship and railroad interests ON the
Pacific coast. but it was not till 1879
that he found himself strong enough to
carry it out. Then he gained control Of
the Oregon Steam Navigation company
Gnd the Oregon Steamship company and
combined their interests under one man
agement. Then he got control of the
Northern Pacific, and the story of his
quick achievement Of colossal fortune
was like one of the stories of the cara
bian Nights" But it did not last, as all
the world knows, for his downfall was
repetition of the tale Of the rocket and
The stick.
But his acute discernment and indom-
table energy were not to be thus dis
posed of forever, and after a brief period
he once more blazed across the financial
Hky in full ascendancy-a successful fin
ancier, railroad king, millionaire, a
Ginning mark Cor the financial para
graphers, q MAJ ON whose word ''the
street" waited. and whom tho street,
with more or less unaninity, tries to

The monument is to be granite mon

feet. Upon the rising ground where the
grave is situated this will be very con-
spicuous object, and it cannot any too

marble monument begun half @ century
ago, which is today rather monument
Of blasted hope and fruitless endeavor
than the memorial it was intended to be.
The ladies of the association have en-
tire faith in the women of the country
and believe that they viii contribute
necessary to carry out the designs of the
organization. These objects include, be-
sides the erection of the nonolith, the
identifying Of the grounds about it and
the provision of fund for its perma-
nent maintenance. Renewed interest
has been shown in the project since the
model has been placed on exhibition, and
the sale of photographs and souvenirs at
the fair has augmented the funds.
1t is upon the life membership, how
ever, that the association principally re-
lies not only for the collection Of money,
but for the strengthening and perpetual
ton of its organization. Life member
ship can be secured by the payment of
$25 or $35, as the donor chooses, the
smaller sum emitting the member to
silver medal and the larger amount to
one OF gold. These medals, it is provid-
ed, are to descend as an inheritance in
the direct female line, from mother to
daughter or granddaughter. and SO on, if
possible, or failing there may be devised
by will. A medal entities the possessor
to vote at all meetings of the association
and to the privilege of aiding in the
care, protection and maintenance for all
time OF the grave and monument Of
Mary, tho mother of Washington.
