onstration Of esteem and respect given a
departing citizen. Distinguished men
from all over the country assembled to
bid him good-by. On reaching Liverpool
a reception, hardly inferior to the demon
stration that babe him godspeed at home,
awaited him. The river Mersey was alive
with vessels bearing the flags of all ma
tons. The docks were lined with thou
sands, all eager to greet the great military
genius, the ex-head of a powerful nation
and plain American citizen. In London
he was received by the queen and the
Prince of Wales and he afterward visited
the queen at Windsor. Banquets. balls.
receptions and other entertainments were
given in his honor and the members of
the aristocracy We'd with one another in
extending courteses and Inequalities to
the great American.
From England he went to the continent.
and the greetings there from crowned
heads and the common people were such
as he had experienced in England. He
| next visited Italy. Egypt, the Holy Land,
India and China. The Chinese paid him
| the greatest honors that had ever been
bestowed on foreigner. Prince kung
entertained him and he became the friend
of the great Chinese, Ii Hung Chang.
When Gen. Grant returned from his
worlds tour. his entire fortune did not
amount to 100000. Looking around for

it's horrible proportions and it was seen

been used to decoy hosts of friends and

After little the world knew that his
honor was unsullied. For time Grant

THE GRANT MONUMENT.
A NJ orial, in It's Design and Setting

A Mem orial, in It's Design and Setting,
One of the Greatest in the World.
In the interval between the death of
Grant and his interment a Grant Monu-
ment Committee was formed to raise
funds for the erection of suitable mon
ument to the memory of the great gen
eral. In February, 1856, the Grant Mon
ument Association was organized under
an act of the New York Legislature. At
first money came in generously, but grad
ually the interest in the project lessened
and in 1892 the fund with accumulated
interest amounted to only $15O,OOO
Meantime the design of the monument
had been determined on and the plans
called for a structure to cost between
100000 and 100000. Ground was
broken for the preliminary work April
81, 1891. In March, 1892, Gen. Horace
Porter undertook the raising of further
funds and so well did he succeed that

This came from $4,000 American citi-.
zens, and it includes the widows mite and
the poor mans modest offering as we'll as
the large subscriptions of the rich. 1t is
genuine tribute of the people, unlike the
great monuments of Europe. The Albert
Memorial in London, the tomb of kaiser
Wilhelm in Berlin, and the huge Germa-
MIA upon the Niederwald were each con-
structed by governmental agencies. Tho
Grant monument represents the loyal love
and patriotic remembrance of a united
people.
Amid Splendid Surroundings.
Grants tomb is massive yet we'll reliev-
ed by pillars and other embellishments.
The ground upon which it rests is lao

itself 175 feet in the air The surround
ings are beautiful The Hudson river,

in stones throw. To the rear and south
are located the stately buildings of the new
Columbia University. Adjoining them
will stand, as soon as time and labor per-
nit. the great Cathedral of st. John the
Divine, which is to cost $1O,OOO,O0O. Con-
stantly flowing by the front of the monu-
ment is a stream of humanity on pleasure
bent, for here, along the edge of the bluff,
is the Riverside Drive. one of the most
charming of New York's delightful boule
varls.
The exterior of the monument is of Il
light granite. and all of the interior is
finished in white marble. The porch is
approached by flight Of steps seventy
feet wide. In prominent letters on the
front are Grants famous words "Let us
have peace" They were used in his let
ter of acceptance of the presidential nom
ination in 1868.
As you enter upon the southern expo
sure you see the opening of the crypt
before you. 1t is thirty feet wide, in the
center of the chamber. Looking down
into the vault the great sarcophagus made
for the remains of Gen. Grant is to be
| seen. This sarcophagus was made from
one piece of Wisconsin porphyry, which is
said to excel in beauty the Finland por-

phagus is a place for another. Here an

remains Of Mrs. Grant.

the Government had spent $4,000 trying

town.

a pile every article Of the plant They
then transferred the mass to train
bound for the headquarters in Chicago.
Capt. Porter, grimy with the long search
and almost exhausted, followed it into the
train. He arrived in the city few hours
later. Once there, he declined to show the
apparatus or to say what had become OF II

1t is q week since the outbreak of war
between Greece and Turkey was announc-
ed. And it was precisely week after
the campaign was formally opened before
anything decisive was accomplished on
either side
The victory of the Turks at Matt and
the subsequent evacuation Of Tyrnavos
and Larissa by the Greeks is probably the
beginning of the end. The evacuation Of
Larissa leaves an open road for the Turk
ish invasion for nearly half the distance
to Athens. This does not mean that the
march to Athens will be an easy affair
or speedily accomplished. The Greeks
fight desperately in retreat, and when they
have lost one fight they are ready to fight
again. Under these circumstances-wth
the reserves reaching the front and the
whole population aroused and armed
even the Turkish victory at I4arissa will
simply mean more hard fighting along the
new line of defense which Prince Con-
stantine's forces have taken up.
An Athens correspondent believes that
the situation is not yet desperate for
Greece. A brave people that will fight
as they have fought during the past week
are unconquerable in a mountainous coun-
try like the Greek peninsula, except as
the result of long campaign with over
whelming forces. If Edhem Pasha's
army follows the retreating Greeks to the

tions ensued. His patience and courage
through a weary siege of pain were char
acteristic of his unfaltering heroism. For
weeks he sat propped up by pillows, his
limbs swathed in blankets, writing his
memoirs. June 8 he was removed from
New York to Mount McGregor, near Sara
tora. and here for u time the change Of
air seemed to strengthen him. He con-
tinued on his memoirs and four days be-
fore his death he completed them. I'M
mediately after the end of the book was
reached, the other end was seen to be ut
hand. The final crisis was neither long
nor painful. July y the country was in
formed that he was failing. For two days
his symptoms indicated increasing depres-
sion and exhaustion, and on the I'D came
the end. He passed away without groan
or a shudder, with no one but his wife and
children and his medical attendants by his
side.
