l8AITB RMlIY STRICKEN
The Widow % tho Late Chief Jas-
tice Quiok;u Follows Her Son.
She Died Last 1ieiH Not Many Hours
After thes Passing Out Of
CsC. waite.

| Mrs. Amelia C.fwaitc, the widow OF the
late Chief Justice Waite, Of the Supreme
Court, died at a late hour last night at her
residence, No. 1915 Rhode Island avenue.
Mrs. Waite suffered q stroke Of paralysis
October n last, from which she never re-
covered. Since that time she has been
confined to her home. and has only been
able to be out of bed at brief intervals.
Inst Monday she suffered relapse, and
her death was not wholly unexpected.
At her bedside when death came were her
only daughter, Aiss Mary F.. Waite; Mrs.
Henry Waite, wife Of the eldest son OF the
deceased, and Miss Reid, niece.
A particularly sad Incident connected
with her death ID the fact that her only
surviving son, Christopher G. Waite, died
in his private car at Columbus, Ohio, only
about thirty-sIx hours before bis mother.
Mrs. Waite knew Of her sons illness.
but was not apprised OF his death, as the
family considered the shock would be LOO
great to her nervous condition.
Mr.. Waite contracted pneumonia by COM
ing out into the cold air from banquet
held one week ago at Jackson, Ohio, to
celebrate the opening up OF new branch
OF the Columbus, Hooking Valley and To-
lcdo Railroad, Of which he was president.
The death of his father, Chief Justice
Waite, occurred about eight years ago. In
much the same manner, by takinG cold
after he had delivered an address at a
banquet 10 New York.
Mrs. Waite. was u prominent member OF
the Mary Washington Memorial Associa-
tioD, and was the first TO inaugurate the
movement to erect q suitable monument to
the memory OF the mother Of the first
President.
She had the satisfaction OF seeing her
work rewarded by the dedication OF the
monument about one year ago Fredericks-
burg. rf
Mrs. waite's last conscious thoughts were
OF the association in which she was so deeply
Interested, and by a singular coincidence
the annual meeting OF the organization oc-
ours today. Resolutions Of sympathy will
be passed by the body.
Mrs. Waite was sevcnty-five years OF
age.
The funeral services Of the mother win be
held at her late residence at O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon. Rev. DR.. McKin, rec
tor of Epiphany, of which Mrs. Waite has
been member since her residence 10 WASH
ington, will officiate.
He will be assisted by Rev. Mr. Hilker OF
Epiphany Mission and Rev. DR.. Walbridge,
who was pastor of the church in Toledo
with which the deceased was connected
during her lifetime. The remains will be
removed to Toledo tomorrow night and
be buried there by the side Of her late
husband.
The family here have not been advised
as to what arrangements have been made
for the obsequies Of the son, but 1t is
probable that the, services will be held in
Toledo on Monday TO enable the relatives
TO be present after attending the funeral
here. Mrs waite's relatives from the
West are expecte1i today.

at the intersection OF Pennsylvania and New
Hampshire avenues. The sculptor was Clark
Mills. The commission was given him. In
1852 aud the monument dedicated on Wash
ingtoD's bfrttday In 1860. President
b. Brchanan selected the site.
The Incident chosen for pcrpetuation oc-
cured at the battle of Princeton, when
Washington, after Intellectual efforts to
rally his troops, advanced SO near the en-
cmy that bis horse drew back in terror.
The criticism passed upon the statue at
times has been that the sculptor devoted
far more time to a balky horse than he did
to the great man he was depicting. Tie
features of Washington were reproduced
from n life-cast, by Houdon, then In the
possession OF Mills.
A colossal marble statue of Washington,
by Horatio Greenough. facing the east CEN
trail portico of the Capitol, has been the
subject OF scores of witty tests In and out
of Congress. 1t represents Washington as
seated in chair, his body nude above the
waist. while the ample folds Of Roman
toga hang from his hips down to his san.
dailed feet. In his left hand Ia a shcatheti
sword; with bis right he points heavenward.
Henry A. Wise of Virginia. In speech In
Congress. said of this staue: 1.-The man docs
not live and never did live who saw Wash.
ingtOn without his shirt
The statue was ordered In ls32, upon the
centennial anniversary of washington.s
birth, and completed in 1910. at cost OF
$4,000. Itwastntendedt to be placed inthe
Rotunda, over vaulted crypt, to which It
was proposed to remove the remains OF
Washington. For some time it did stand in
the Rotunda. but 1t was SO much criticised
that 1t was removed to its present location
In the bitter cold. bleak air OF the Capitol
plateau. Grecnough himself occasiUncd
much merriment to his detractors by object
ing to Its removal. He said In cold weather
the staue would be injured, as he had
selected his marble for indoor use.

uninjured. The remaining sticks on the
stove were thrown out by men W ho came to
her rescue.

West Chester, Pa, Feb. 22.-Under bind
ing Instructions from President Judge
Waddell jury in common pleas court has
rendered verdict for $6o6.62 In favor
of Samuel W. showaltcr, committee for
Edward L. Eaby, against the Mutual Fire
Insurance Company of Chester county.
This was an action to recover the plain
ufrs share of an Insurance upon barn
belonging to the estate of his father, and
which young Eaby fired himself He mys-
teriously disappeared Immediately after
ward. but was captured and incarccratcd
in an insane asylum.
The insurance company has taken excep-
tions to the courts action in the case, and
the matter will be argued in March. A
novel point has been raised during this
trial, which is whether or not the estate
OF an insane man can take advantage OF
his insane acts. This question, 1t is said,
has never been definitely passed upon in
any insurance cases in this State.

MANY OTHER MONUMENTS.

The monolith at Wakefield is the latest
| addition to a long list of Washington memo
| rials in the cities OF this country. No hero
in history has received SO many elaborate
and beautiful monumental tributes as the
Father OF His Country.
The tallest memorial in the world is that
which stands to Washington on the Monu-
| ment Lot. The design, as originally pre-
pared, was white marble obelisk rising to
the height OF 61O feet, This was the idea
when the cornerstone was laid on July 4,
lS4S, but so little progress was made on the
shaft from 1S4S until 1878, that il was
deemed best to drop off some sixty feet from
the design. The real height of the monu-
ment, then, as dedicated on Washington's
Birthday in 1885, is 655 feet.
Another change was TO abandon the idea
of having a grand circular pantheon at the
base two hundred and fifty feet in diameter
and one hundred feet high. A square terrace
has taken its place.
The idea OF a national monument to WASH
ington first appears in 4 resolution of the
Continental Congress in 1883. At his death
in December, 1893, Congress passed resolu-
tions declaring that marble monument
tohim should be erected in the city of WASH
ington, and his body placed beneath 1t, but
nothing was ever done with these resolu-
tions. -.
In S33 a few citizens OF Washington or.
ganized u Washington Monument Society,
with Chief Justice Marshall and ex-President
Madison at its head, and it was this society
that began the monument In 1S4S. In
1874 Congress took the monument under
its wing. and in s76 made W. w. Corcorau
chairman OF a joint commission to complete
it. Robert Mills. the architect of the Bal
timore monument, at first supervised the
work, and Col. Thomas L. Casey, United
States Army engineer, completed it.
The exterior Of the monument is entirely
of Maryland marble. The total cost was
about 81 200 ,0OO-
A feature of the monument is series OF
blocks Of marble on the stairways inside,
contributed by different States, by Indian
tribes. secret societies, temperance socie-
ties, schools. individuals, and foreign gov
eruments.
