ANOTHER MONUMENT.

Today there will be unveiled, IL
Paramount Park, in which the World
Centennial Fair was held, at Philadel.
phia, a Washington monument, which
Is one of the finest and most costliest
memorials ever erected in America.
Notwithstanding the event comes so
closely upon that Of the dedication OF
the Grant monument at New York, the
occasion today will prove one of ma
tional importance. The design was by
Siemering, the celebrated Berlin scUlp-
tor. The work has been under the su-
pervision of the Society Of Cincinnati.
This memorial represents nearly CEN
fury of patient work, being first started
in 1910. Up till 1880 the total sum
collected amounted 10 only $4,000. To
this was added an additional sum of
S13. 900 by the society of Cincinnati.
The completed work represents about a
quarter of a million Of dollars. The
height of the monument is about forty
feer. On the top OF the monument is
bronze equestrian figure of General
Washington in colonial uniform, large
military cloak hanging in graceful folds
from his shoulders, covering the TANKS
of his horse. At the four corners Of the
platform are fountains of American In
dams. There are also allegorical
groups. The state motto of Kansas. re-
yersed so as to read ''Per Aspera ad
Astra," constitutes one Of the inscrip-
tons. W. w. Porter will be the orator
of the day and the event promises to be
one of the greatest in the history or
the Quaker City. Doubtless our dis
patches will contain the incidents OF the
day and the details of the work.
