Where His Ashes Rest.

u,ho Memorial SERVICES which attended
.ha renewal of the remains of Gen. Ulys-
US : Grant TO their final resting place
naye revispye grateful interest in that
.ro,+ military leader of the nation. AS
the President of free people, the savior
~ q country, the idol of millions of man
,knd, the story of his career cannot be
ala too often TO those who knew him as
the most commanding figure of his time;
or the new generation, which, in the light
of fuller appreciation of his true great
nos, venerate him as one of the most
commanding figures in all history.
Gen, Grant was born April -, 1922, in
q one-story building of two rooms i'll Point
Pleasant. Ohio. twenty-five miles from
4v.rity of Cincinnati His father, Jesse
Tx,ut, a man of revolutionary stock and
New England ancestry, was the foreman
of a tannery. laboring hard to acquire a
comnetence sufficient to enable him to EN-
bark in business for himself. This he
did in Georgetown, O., whittier he re-
moved IN 1923. Here young Ulysses grew
up. a sturdy young lad, quiet, reserved,
self-reliant. At the early age of 5 we
find him breaking bark into the hopper of
the bark mill in his fathers tannery-a
task he did not relish. Less than year
later he regularly drove a team on his
fathers farm and at the age of 10 he used
to drive to Cincinnati, forty miles distant.
Tn winter he attended school in George
town, and then in his 14th year he was
sent to he Academy at Maysville.
In 1889 came the turning point in his
life. He entered West Point as cadet.
His name up to this time was Hiram
ulysses Grant, but in the making out of
his official appointment to the military
school the name was written by mistake
Ulysses S.. ard so it has ever since re-
manned. Grant made commendable pro-
sress at West Point and had the distinc-
ton of being the best horseman in his
class Ii 1913 he graduated, and was as
signed to the Fourth Infantry, stationed
at jefferson barracks. near st. Louis.
During the Mexican war he rendered
valuable service, being engaged in every
battle except one, and was promoted to
a first ,ieutenancy After the war he was
stationed at various military posts and in
49,, was promoted to the captaincy Of a
company at Humboldt bay, California.
The following year he resigned his COM
mission and engaged in farming and real
estate near st. Louis. This did not prove
profitable and he secured a cerkship in

Here Gen. Grant was living when the
civil war broke out Four days after
President Lincoln's call for troops Grant
was drilling a company of volunteers and
later was made mastering officer. With
in FIVE weeks he was appointed colonel of
the Twenty first Illinois Infantry and re-
ported for duty to Gen. Pope in Missouri.
In August he was made brigadier general

son. on the Cumberland. After the fall
of the former, the movement against the
latter was begun. After three days fight
ing Gen Buckner. then in command of
the fort. proposed to Grant that commits
sioners be appointed to arrange terms of
capitulation. Grants famous reply was:
''No terms other than unconditional sur

Grant at once stepped into national
fame. The question was everywhere
asked. els he the coming man," The
hero of Doneson was Immediately made a
major general, and in 1863 took command
of all the troops in the Mississippi val
ley. The siege of Vicksburg and the
battle of Chattanooga made an opening
for the national forces into Georgia.
Grant. now the hope of the nation, was
made lieutenant general by Congress, and
by special act was given the command of
the armies of the United States. A re-
markable campaign was planned and car
ried out For each Of his brilliant aides
"a frant mapped out certain duty. As
his own opposing force he selected the
army of northern Virginia. under Lee,
and the battles of the Wilderness, Spott-
syvania, North Anna and Cold Harbor
the hardest Grant ever fought-attest
the difficult task he mapped out for him
self But he triumphed. The surrender
of Lee. the paroling of the entire South
ern army, ended the greatest civil war in
history.
Gen Grant started for Washington i'm.
mediately after the fall Of Richmond, to
superintend the DISARMAMENT of the ma
tional forces. Everywhere he went ne
was greeted with ovations. and these con

Gently moved from its resting place in the
temporary tomb Of brick which had been
erected in 1885 and which stands short
distance from the new and magnificent
monument. The coffin was enclosed in a
steel jacket and for several days before
workmen had been employed in taking the
latter apart.
When all was in readiness for the re-
moval, Col. Fred Grant and Ulysses
Grant, sons of the dead soldier, a few
family friends and an honorary guard of
his old comrades assembled at the old
brick tomb. The copper coffin containing
the remains of Grant was reyerently
borne to the new monument and after be-
ing put in q cedar casket was lowered
into the sarcophagus, which is to be its
resting place for all time. AS the remains
of the sOldier-statesman were being borne
from one tomb to another those taking
part in the ceremony uncovered their
heads and the thousands Of spectators as.
sembled paid a similar mark of respect
to the hero's dust.
Inside the steel casing were found -four
wreaths, three of oak leaves and one OF
roses, and sheaf. The flowers were al
most as fresh as though they had been
placed there the week before. whereas
they had been within the casing for twelve
wears.

LONDON. Nov. 20.-One of the most
disastrous fires in London's history
since the great fire of 1865 broke out in
large block of buildings lying east
ward of Aldersgate street and between
that thoroughfare and Red Cross street.
The flames were famed by strong
wind and were fed by highly inf1am-
mable stocks Of Christmas fancy goods
and f1imsy dress materials Of all de-
scriptions that filled every floor of tho
six-story buildings in the old street.
Consequently the conflagration gained
Roadway with surprising rapidity and
was soon far beyond the possibility of
being checked by the few engines
which were carly on the spot. For
four hours and half the flames had
their own way and it was only after
more than 100 engines had worked an
hour that the chief of the tire brigade
sent out the signal that the fire was
under control.
The latest accounts indicate that
nearly 100 warehouses have been de-
stroyed. while the loss will probably
exceed $50, 900, coo.
