by a reception at the Union League Club
In honor of the President and yice-Presi-
dent.
At the massive tomb, during these pre-
liminary exercises, surrounded by all the
thousands who could find seats or footholds
there, were the President of the United
States, the Vice-President, every member
of the Presidents Cabinet, tho Justices Of
the Supreme Court, nearly all the United
States Senators and Representatives, and
the representatives of about every Nation
on earth with whom this country has
diplomatic relations. There, too, were the
Generals Of the Army, active and retired,
and the Admirals OF the Navy, active and
retired, the members OF the Legislature Of
New York, the Mayor OF New York City and
the Aldermen of New York and Brooklyn,
together with all the members of the Grant
family.
The procession that was reviewed by the
President, at the conclusion of the dedica-
tory ceremonies from an deliberately deco
rated stand beside a triumphal arch that
SPAWNED Riverside Drive, was composed of
one OF the largest bodies Of armed men that
has ever been gathered together In this
country in time OF peace. There were $500
soldiers OF the Regular Army, 1900 sailors
and marines from the warshIps in the river
and the Navy Yard, IS, 900 soldiers Of the Ma
tional Guards OF the various States, 5000
veterans Of the Grand Army OF the Republic,
1000 armed and equipped cadets, and 10, 900
civilians. The grand total rose above 5 5000,
and the line took nearly five hours in pass
ing the reviewing stand.
In the Hudson. River, of Riversi@.f Park,
were anchored the vessels OF the Ssp.Srth At
lantic squadron, the Presidents flagship
Dolphin, n warships- representing the
Governments OF Spain, Italy, France and
Great Britain.
After the land parade was over the PFesi-
dent reviewed the feet and the vessels

PARADE ON WATER.

Brave Array of United States Vessels on
the hudson.
The exercises at the tomb were concluded
at about the time the head of tho parade
appeared, and the Presides-s reviewed 1t as
it filed by in the order given. When the
last detachment had marched before him.,
President Mckinley went aboard the Dol
phin. As the President boarded his nag
ship the combined fleet of war vessels gave
the Presidential salute-twenty-cne guns.
President Mckinley was accompanied on
the Dolphin by the Cabinet, the foreign
Ambassadors and Ministers, Admiral brown,
Generals Miles, John Nj. Schofeld and Dam
tel Butterfield.
The ships were dressed in rainbow fash
ion with the signal flags, which were strung
from the bows over the trucks OF the mass
and fastened to the jack staff at the sterns
Of he vessels. Besides this the vessel
foated ensigns at the stern and union jacks
on the stats on the bow Of the ships,
The men-of-war, United States and for
eign, were anchored in double column IN

the North Atlantic squadron and the foreign
warships blazed forth q Presidential salute
OF twenty-one guns. TIL men of the mer~
chant marine manned the yards and gave
three hearty cheers as the reviewing party
moved past. The steam river craft gave
vent to their enthusiasm through brazen
and iron-throated whistles.
After the review the Presidential party
was driven back to the hotels to prepare
for the reception at the Union League In
the evening. The reception was a grand
affair.
There were many other receptions at
night on q minor scale, and reunions innu-
merable. Men who had not met since war
times, and then in some cases face to face
as foes on the battlefield, drank from the
same canteen to one toast, "a peaceful and

THE GRANT MONUMENT.
Description of the Magnificent Mausoleurn
on Riverside Drive in New York.

.nt Monument on Riverside Drive
is an established fact, grand In Its sim
plIcity, inspiring In the memories that 1t
brings to life. There is no place In New
York OF vicinity better fitted for It. Inc
Hudson River flows silently within a stones
throw. Directly opposite, across the river,
the Palisades loom In o grandeur that has
given them worldwide fame. Looking
north, the eye may see as far as Tappan
Zee, over q stretch of country which is
famed In history.
The immediate surroundings OF the mon.
ument itself are very beautiful. In one
direction are located the stately buildings
of the new Columbia University. Adjoin-
ing them, will stand the great Protestant
Cathedral OF st. John the Divine. -
The monument is 1856 feet high, n
stands upon a promoitory 40 feet above
the Hudson. The design is original In its
execution and conception. The square
Dorie base is typical OF Grants military
career; the circular cupola is symbolic OF
his civil life, and the stepdome that com
pletes the structure that it Is the
tomb of d warrior. The exterior is OF gran
lite, and It's interior Of marble. On the
main floor is the crypt, thirty feet wide,
where already rests the massive sarcopha-
gus of General Grant. Tho foundation,
which is OF concrete, Is ITO feet by ITO feet
at the base, and 107 feet square at the top:
Its depth is twenty-five feet. The top OF
the foundation Is 1874 feet, and the top of
the dome is 800 feet, above high water.
The main superstructure is Of granite, 100
feet square and e~ighty-ilve feet high.
At eighty feet from the foundation is the
lower edge of the cornice. Huge lion head
blocks Of granite form a projecting layer
above this, and one more layer of granite
blocks completes the main body. The
monument faces the south, and on this side
are the only approach and entrance to the
tomb. The entrance Is through a brazen
door. This front of the tomb has four
granite columns at the entrance, but Just
outside OF these is another line Of iuted
columns six in number, thirty feet high,
seven feet In diameter at the base n six
at tfSsop. They form part Of the portico.
The portico Is in the Ionic style, and is
in itself a figure of great beauty. The ap-
proach to the portico is formed by granite
platforms 100 feet wide which afford a
gradual ascent of forty feet.
The completion of this noble mausoleum
within Ave years is a lasting testimonial to
New York's civic pride. The first meeting
of the Grant Memorial Committee was held
on April 9, 1892, and over 80, 900 American
citizens contributed the 800, 900 necessary
for the erection Of the great tomb.

WHY NEW YORK WAS CHOSEN.
Mrs. Grant Finally Decided in Favor Of
the Empire City.

Mrs. Grant Finally Decided In Favor of
the Empire City.
When Grant died there was a keen compe-
tition among the various cities OF the Union
for the honor of having his tomb. While
General Grant and Mrs. Grant were in Eu-
rope they paid a visit to the tomb OF Ferdi-
nand and Isabella. The thought of the
royal couple sleeping side by side for CEN
turtles appealed to the devoted husband,
and turning to his wife he said:
Julia, this Is the way We should lie In
DEATH
His wish was not forgotten, and when the
great cities of the East sought the homo OF
affording his body a sculpture, New York
was the first to offer a tomb for both the
General and his wife, without conditions.
New York was also helped by the fact that
a memorandum left by the General gave his
preference as a place of a burial as follows:
"West Point-I prefer this above others,
but for the fact that my wife could not be
placed beside me there.
HGalena, or some other place In Illinois
Because from that State / received my first
Generals commission.
"New York-Because the people of that
State befriended me in my need"
When offers were made by the various
cities Mrs. Grant cast her vote on the side
Of New York. A plot of land was set aside
in Riverside Park. There the General was
buried in 1891,
The monument Is, as Ill Hung Chang
says, the most interesting memorial ever
erected. The tomb of Napoleon is its only
rival, that having also been built by volun-
tary contributions. The two other great
tombs, those of Albert in Hyde Park n
Kaiser Wilhelm in Berlin, were erected by
the Governments OF the two countries.

William Steele Holman was born in Dear
born County, Indiana, in 1922. He had q
common school education, supplemented
by a two-year course at Franklin College.
Then he taught school to support himself
while be studied law. When twenty
one years Of age he was elected Probate
Judge. He served also as a prosecuting
attorney, was a member OF the Constitu-
tional Convention OF 1850. Then he en-
tered the Legislature, and later on was re-
turned to the Bench. His Congressional
career commenced with the Thirty-sixth,
and out OF the twenty sessions OF that body
which rave followed he has been absent
from but four, the Thirty-ninth,~ Forty-fftb,
Forty-sixth and Fifty-fourth, a record
unparalleled in American public life.
Personally Mr.. Holman was OF a genial and
approachable disposition, which did much
to reconcile his colleagues to his course on
public matters, notably appropriations.
The body Of Congressman Holman was
taken back to Indiana for interment upon
the old homestead. 1t was accompanied by
the customary honorable guard of his late
colleagues.

DOC CASE IN SUPREME COURT.
Failed to Secure Damages for the killing
of His Newfoundland.

The United States Supreme Court decid-
ed a case which originated at New Orleans
Involving a claim for damages for the kill
Ing of a dog.
The suit was instituted by George W.
SentelI, Jr., VS.. the New Orleans and Car
rollton Railroad Company. The dog--a
Newfoundland valued at $20O-was Killed
by a car owned by the railroad company.
The case turned upon the validity OF an
act Of the Louisiana Legislature, recognize
ing dogs as personal property only when
placed upon the assessment rolls. This
dog was not assessed. Justice Brown de-
liyered the opinion of the court, sustaining
the constitutionality of the law and refus'
ing damages.
Justice Brown laid down the law in re-
gard to dogs in general as follows: THE
very fact that they are without protection
Of the criminal laws shows that property in
dogs is of an imperfect or qualified nature,
and that they stand, as it were, between
animals ferae naturae in which until sub
dued there is no property, and domestic
animals in which the right Of property is
complete. They are not considered upon
the same plane with horses, cattle, sheep
and other domesticated animals, but rather
in the category of cats, monkeys, parrots,
singing birds and similar animals kept for
pleasure, curiosity or caprice"
