Site is Selected in the Lake Front
Park.
From the Chicago Tribune


From the Chicago Tribune.
Gen. John A. Logan's monument will be
located in the Lake Front Park, at a point
opposite Hubbard court and midway be-
tween the avenue and the Illinois Central
railway. The site was selected by Mrs
Mary A. Logan, and confirmed by the
monument commission and the South Park
board commissioners.
The commission met yesterday morning
in the chambers Of the federal court. Mrs.
Logan was present, as was Augustus St
Gaudens the sculptor. Judge Henry w.
Blodgett, the chairman of the commission,
announced that the site selected IN Jack
son Park would be an unfavorable one on
account of contemplated plans of Frederick
Law Olmstesd, who mas heen designing the
landscape features of the park
Judge Tuthill and Mr.. ST. Gaudens were
appointed a committee to visit the park
with Mrs. Logan and confer with MIR. Ohm
stead, who was in waiting. to another
location Shortly after o'clock the COM
mittee returned and met the full commits
sion. Mrs. Logan then announced she
would prefer the Lake Front Park for the
location of the monument. Mrs. Logan ex-
pressed herself as perfectly satisfied that
the place would be an IDEAL one
The commission unanimously deferred to
her wishes. After adopting the site the
commission, with the South Park commits
sioners and Mrs Logan, discussed the
monument with Mr.. St. Gaudens. 1t was
decided that the base of the monument, a
granite structure twenty feet in height,
should rest upon mound thirty or forty
feet high, with a diameter of 200 feet. ON
the granite base will stand the bronze
equestrian statue, of heroic size. The
model has been completed and the sculptor
expects to turn it over to a casting COM
pany within a month or so. The monu-
ment is expected to be completed for dedi-
cation next summer.

I heard a story about the lamented H.
c. Bunner the other day. No doubt the
story Is an ancient one among literary
men, but is still good enough to acquaint
the general public with. All are familiar
with the intimacy that existed between
Laurence Hutton, the famous critic. and
Mr.. Bunner. Their friendship is still point
ed out as the ideal one and literary review
ers and critics are still fond of republish-
ing anecdotes Of the two. -- ,
This story deals with trip that Bunner
and Hutton took through Westminster Alb
hey. After viewing the tombs Of England's
greatness Bunner began a savage attack
on the custom Of handing to pos.erity the
names Of mobiles whose actions were never
good and whose lives were never for good
He concluded this by saying to Hutton.
do you know that there are only three
kinds Of Englishmen that like"

aroused by the rather strange remark.

Jenny Linda Private. Car.

From Locomotive Engineering.
1t is not generally known that a famous
singer made the first move toward the es-
tablishing of private cars. In 1851. when
the famous Jenny Lind got married in this
country, she was very much annoyed dur
ing her honeymoon by the intrusion Of
impertinent interviewers, and to escape
from the infection she had q passenger
car cleared Of its seats and fitted up as a
drawing room. In this she was able to
stop off at scheduled points or go from
place to place without molestation.: The
idea was quite original with tbs great
singer, and directed SO much attention that
other people of luxurious tastes wanted to
initiate that method Of ravel. The fashion
DID not spread very rapidly, but 1t got a
start then, and has gone on slowly into the
development Of the palace car and dining
