GREENoUGH's STATUE OF WASH
INGTON.

the deep gratitude of the nation for his
triumphant conduct of the revolution
That was the original inception of the
Greenough statue. During the lifetime
of Washington nothing further was
done. But Washington died December
~, 1899, and nine days thereafter, on
December 10, 1899, the American; con-
gress passed a resolution ordering shat
a marble monument be erected by the
United States in the capitol at the city
of Washington, that the family of Gen.
Washington be requested to permit his
body to be deposited under it, and that
the monument be SO designed as 20
commemorate the great events of his
military and political life"
President John Adams communicated
this resolution to the widow, Martha
Washington, and she replied: Taught
by that great example which I have al
ways had before me, never to oppose
my private wishes to the public will, I
must consent to the request made by
congress, which you have had the good
ness to transmit to me, and in doing this
/ need not, 1 cannot, say what a sacri-
flee of individual feeling l make to a
n of public duty" But it was de-
veloped subsequently that Martha Wash
ington understood that her remains
were to be inferred beside those Of her
! lIlustrious husband. and, in accordance

The Newest Gowns.

The craze for blue and white has
extended to muslin gowns. The latest
and most chic show blue figures in white
grounds and are profusely trimmed
with lace.
The deep corselet waist band and the
short bolero are features of many chic
gowns and have the merit of being al
most universally becoming.
A novelty in sleeves shows d~iaphan-
Gus material unlined from the elbow to
the wrist. Above it is made bouffaat
and is caught together in the center
of the arm at the top.
Daring combinations of color seem 70
multiply as the season advances. A
light transparent gray linen is made up
over ap~ple-green and finished with pink
belt and collar.
Pique appears to be the one formi-
dable rival to grass linen. Not only is it
employed for the making of whola
gowns, but it makes also revers, capes
and collars for silk gowns and is en-
circled by trimmings of real Irish cro-
chet.-Chicago News,

with that idea. she directed that fea6a
coffin precisely similar to that 81
husband should ineiose her body. Wheu
il a ascertained that the Intention o.
congress was that only the remains 81
WashingtoA should be inferred in the
national capital, her compliance was
withdrawn. Therefore the body of
Washington was never brought TO this
city, but was inferred ak Mount Yer-
non, side by side with that OF his wife.
The Washington heirs were represented
by George Washington Parxe Custiss
who said: s'They were lovely and pleas
ant in their lives, and IN their deaths
they were not divided"
George Washington was in mis- grave
80 years and a new generation came
upon the scene of life before any fur
Their action was taken concerning the
erection of a suitable monument to his
memory. Those who have wondered
that nothing has been done by congress
for the erection of a suitable monument
to the memory of Gen. Grant at River
side, park, need not marvel when they
learn that so many years passed before
anything tangible was done in memory
Of the Father of His Country. In 1882.
40 years after the passage of the first
resolution by the continental congress,
an appropriation Of $5,0nO was made
for the beginning Of a contract with q
skillful artist for the construction and
erection of a statue to be placed in the
rotunda of the capitol. Edward Ever
EFT, from the committee on the library,
made a report recommending the em4
ployment of Horatio Greenough, OF
Boston, and he was finally given the
contract for the work, which he esti@
mated would cost $4,000. Presidents
Andrew Jackson signed the contract,
and it was specified that the head should
be modelled after the Houdin cast.
In 1884 Greenough went to Florencel
Italy, and there. after much travel and

at the head of the middle table, Bunt-
ing and wife at the foot. Those who
could not find room at the tables squat
ted on the floor. A crowd of other
guests did likewise outside. Plates
we're scarce, and knives and forks
scarcer; but there was plenty of banana
bush and no lack of fingers. So the
feast went on without a hitch.
The hitches-plenty of them, too
came later, after the half-dozen demi-
johns of rum began to circulate. The
Indians were the first to be affected.
A wild war-dance broke up the festal
groupings, and thenceforward it was
every man for himself. Gordon wisely
cleared away with his bride, wishing to
catch the falling tide and the George
town steamer. The orgy that fol-
lowed battles description. The curious
mixture of savagery and civilization, of
wedding gowns and nakedness, decan-
ters and calabashes, plates and plantain
leaves, toasts and swearings, got stirred
to the dregs, and babbled up into a
pandemonium. Then we saw the
Boviander at his worst-and that is
pretty bad.
1 will not conveniently say, ''let us
draw a veil over that orgy" 1 see no
reason to do so; the fact, honestly adj
mitted, is that when it got to the pass
of drawn knives, fourished clubs and
flying stones, my companions and de-
termined that discretion was the better
part of curiosity as well as valor-and
we made tracks for the mission station.
Returning to the settlement after dawn,
we met a gold diggers' supply canoe,
deeply laden, adrift on the current with
the crew fast asleep. They had been
among the volunteer wedding guests.
and had beer abb to make a morning
start-and no more. The cataracts
were a mile or two below.
