THE tNOIL CM.
Aow the Money to Build 1t was Secured
The Structure Described.

NEW YORK, April FIT was by popu-
lar subscription than the fund
necessary for the erection of the
tomb Of General Grant was raised, and
1t Is estimated that 5000 people contri-
buted sums ranging from one cent TO
$500. In ALL S5oJ.0OO was secured The
unexpended balances were kept in trust
companies and drew three per cent. In
terest, so the sum increased until II now
amounts TO ABOUT $1,000. With the ex-
ceptiOn OF about $4,000 the entire fund
was raised in New York city.
Five days after the death OF General
Grant. on the 18th of July, 1855. New
York city having been suggested by Cen
eral Grant before his death as the place
for his burial, William X. Grace, then
Mayor. called meeting Of citizens at the
City Hall 10 take steps towards the col
lection OF fund for the erection Of a
national monument On the day follow
ing the Grant Monument Committee was
permanently organized with ex-President
Chester A. Arthur as chairman. The
first appeal 10 the public was signed by
Mr.. Arthur as chairman. and by William
r. Grace and Hamilton Fish. as vice
chairmen, and within a week subscrip-
tons OF money were pouring in so fast
that there was serious belief that little
difficulty would be found in collecting
