FOR FRANCE.
The Statue of Washington To BE Given by
American Women.

The following circular as been recent
ly issued and will be of interest to those
who contributed to the fund commenced
several years ago. The original modest
enterprise has been greatly developed.
An equestrian statue worthy the great
artist to whom the work is entrusted,
and OF the great nations which present 1t
and receive it will be finished in season
for the exposition at Paris in 1900.
! AS chairman Of the committee on de-
sign am extremely anxious thatlmy state
should stand well in the list of contribu--
tors to such a national enterprise, and
trust. there are many among her citizens
who will furnish me with substantial
additions to the sum already raised. The
response elsewhere has been enthusiastic
and as the subscriptions are open for
small sums as well as large fair amount
may be expected. Contributions may be
sent directly to my addgess.

A STATUE OF WASHINGTON FOR
FRANCE. TO BE GIVEN BY THE
WOMEN OF AMERICA.

The people of this country, though
cherishing warm sentiments Of gratitude
to France for her timely and generous as
slstance in our struggle for freedom, have
never given expression to that feeling il
the form of any lasting memorial. France
on the other hand, in her gift of the CO.
lossal figure representing Liberty en-
tightening the world" f1ttingly placed
on an island in the largest harbor Of our
eastern coast, has exhibited her unwaver
ing friendship for our nation 1t is true
that when Lafayette revisited our shores,
nearly fifty years after the Revolution.
the whole nation arose to do him honor
now it has seemed to many Of our citi
Zens that it would be more fitting recog
milton of our obligation to France to offel
some memorial which should convey to
present and future generations our CRATE
full remembrances, and tend to strengthen
the ties of friendship which have bound
firmly together the two greatest republics
of the old and new worlds.
To this end, an association composed Of
women from all parts of the country was
formed for the purpose Of procuring a
bronze equestrian statue of Washington
whose life and character symbolic moi
only to the American mind, but, in a
great degree, to the world, and especially
to the French, what is most valuable in
our national life. An appeal was made
by this association for the necessary funds
to carry out this patriotic desire, and 6
large portion of the sum required was col
lected, but the financial depression of the
last two years has retarded the work o.
completing the fund. Recently, however
two very generous gifts from members O.
the association have stimulated the ladies
to renewed efforts. About fifteen thous
and dollars more are needed, and to raiSt
this sum the association now makes it
final appeal. 1t is hoped that many
among the Daughters of the Revolu
ton and the Colonial Danes will
avail themselves of the opportunity
offered to have share in the proposed
memorial. The approaching Paris Elk
position of 1900 seems to the association q
fitting time to present the gift to thu
people of France.
To facilitate it's work the society ha.
been incorporated under the title of "Tht
Association of American Women for the
presentation of statue of Washington tx
France" An eminent American sculp
tor, Mr.. Daniel French, has been chosen
to design and execute the work, which il
to be completed in time for presentation
at the opening of the Exposition.

ton city, is the treasurer.

A VITAL QUESTION.
Asked BY Hundreds of Portland People
A Citizen Answered 1t.

Our citizens who have been entrapped
into reading an innocent looking piece
of neWspaper composition that turned out
to be a cleyerly worded introduction to
some proprietary medicine advertisement
always stop the perusal of it when they
discover the fraud, some with lmpatlence
and some mentally vowing they won't be
fooled again. Our readers who are hon.
estly searching for a remedy advertised in
their local papers, drop onto one and in
yariabIy the first question asked is can
this be true? This leads to more i'm
portant one, why don't they publish local
testimony instead of forever asking us
to believe statements of some one whom
we are not sure even exists? Carefully
read the following and see if it does not
fill the bill:
Mr.. Patrick Gromley, of No. 11a Clark
ST., says: II am pleased to make public
the fact that Doan's Kidney Pills are a
wonderful remedy for the kidneys. I will
be only too pleased to meet anyone per-
sonally and give them the minute par
