formally broken for the erection Of this
monument on April q, 1891, with elab-
crate ceremonies, conducted in the pres
ence of vast throng. The monument
overlooks the former bed of the Kappa
hammock river, as it will be remembered
this rivers course was changed by the
federal engineers. The site OF the pro-
posed monument is on the spot where
Mary Washington WAS accustomed to
spend portion OF each day in prayer
and meditation during the dark hours OF
the revolution.
Mrs. Washington was removed to Fred
ericksburg by her son in 1875, where she
lived, with the exception OF brief re-
treat to Frederick county during Corn
wallis invasion, until her death in 1889.
Washington last visited her on April IA,
1889. Two weeks afterward he was in
augurated president, and almost on the
same day she died. Her maiden name
was Mary Ball, and she was the daughter
of Colonel Joseph Ball, planter, whose
seat WAS on the lett bank of the Kappa
hammock, in Lancaster county, Virginia.
Mary Ball was born in 1905, at Epping
Forest, in that part Of the Old Dominion
known as the Northern Neck. She was
brought up at home in the seclusion of a
sparsely settled country. Her education,
like that of most young ladies Of those
days, was extremely limited, except az
regards moral and domestic training.
Whatever may have been the deficien-
cies in her education, however, her
mother taught her the valueof industry,
frugaiiiy, integrity, modesty and religious
convictions; and her lessons were never
forgotten. Her photography was always
defective, according to the fashion OF the
time, but her writing was clear and in a
plain, round hand In her younger days
she was widely known as "the Rose oil
Epping Forest"
The old manor house at Frederlcks-
burg in which Mary Washington lived
and died is still standing. The house lie

will soon be removed and the old home

form, with no porch, but little roof over
the door like dormer window.
THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
An immense crowd surrounded the
station here when the presidents train
arrived. AS the procession wound its
way from the station 10 the green knoll
where the sons and daughters Of the
revolution and distinguished guests were
assembled, II WAS cheered by thousands
President Cleveland responded to the
address OF Governor O'Ferrall, saying
Il speak for those who are today greeted
as the official guests of Virginia and
Fredericksburg. We have assembled on
equal terms to worship at the sacre,
national shrine. Nothing can be n. ore
important to those who assumed the re-
sponsibility of self government thar
equalization and stimulation amons
themselves of the sentiments whici
ennoble, elevate and strengthen hn
manity. Purity and moral health are in
nothing better exempli6ed than in love
and reverence for motherhood.

terrific hail stones began to strike them,
the horses broke loose, and scores of We

there WAS q smashup. Vehicles left in
the streets were riddled, tops, cushions
