finishing touches, such as placing the
groups of statuary and putting the last
strokes to the interior, remain to be
done. ut has been worth waiting for''
will doubtless be the verdict Of thou
sands who will see it for the first time
on April ~.
The eye is first struck and the atten-
ton held by its simple dignity and SUBJ
stantial massiveness There is durability
written in every line, from the huge,
square foundation blocks to the solid
capstone which tops the conical dome.
There is grace, too, and the eye follows
up from pillar to cornice, from drum to
lantern, zigzagging up the stepped cone,
which tapers off until it ends naturally
in the fattened apex. But while the

dences of high and mature civilization
we have sadly betrayed our lack of age
and the absence of refined sentiment
which comes with years. But we are
rapidly improving. This structure
which has been erected as a last resting
place for the dust of a man who has
been a national hero but few short
years not only excels anything of the
kind in the new world, but rivals any
Of the great tombs which other nations
have built for their illustrious dead.
We are going to make the dedication,
too, as impressive and memorable as we
know how An elaborate programme
has been arranged. The high officials Of
the states and the nation are to partici-
pate. On land there will be big pro-
cession of both martial and civic bodies.
On the water there will be naval dem
onstration which will be even more in
teresting and spectacular. The men
most prominent in the affairs of today
as we'll as those survivors Of the silent
leader who were in the forefront when
be was winning fame and honor will be
President Mckinley and most of his
official family are expected to be there.
General Miles and other officers of high
rank in the amy and navy will attend,
and the governors of all the states of the
Union have been invited. Many of them
have accepted and will come with their
stats arrayed in all the martial mag
nificence which such dignitaries assume
for state occasions.
Of course Mrs. Grant and other rela-
tives of the great general will be the
chief guests of honor. The family will
be very we'll represented, for besides
Mrs. Grant there will be her daughter,
Mrs. Sartoris, and her three children
and Colonel and Mrs. Fred Grant. The
widow of the dead hero will be the cen
ter Of the group and the target for a
million kindly glances She carries her
age gracefully, and her snowy white
hair, partly covered by the dainty lace
cap she generally wears, is very becom-
ing. The old veterans who marched
with Grant will be especially interested
in Mrs. Sartoris, whom many of them
last saw when, a little girl, she occa-
sionally visited her father at army head
quarters. She, too, is now widow and
very attractive one.
The delegation which the diplomatic
corps at Washington will send to the
ceremony will add a picturesque quality
to the group on the reviewing stand.
Every foreign country will be repre-
sented, for none of our great men was
ever more universally recognized and
respected abroad than General Grant.

GRANT MONUMENTS.

Memorials to the Nations Hero In MANY
Cities.
AS the nations hero many other mu
inequalities have honored General Grant
by the erection Of monuments and stat
ues. Probably the most pretentious Of
these is the one in Lincoln park, Chi
cago. 1t is bronze, equestrian statue
Of heroic size and rests upon q large
memorial bridge. It was erected by the
citizens of Chicago at a cost Of sos, 900.
The movement to raise this statue was
started the day after General Grants
demise, and the monument was un-
yelled in October, 1891. Mrs. Grant
was present, and thousands Of Grants
old soldiers were also there.
Another equestrian bronze Of the ia
nous general was unveiled in Brooklyn

will be particularly artistic. The whole
interior Of the tomb is wainscoted with
polished marble, SO that there will be no
opportunity for DETACHMENT, and the
crank tourists who have contracted the
habit of writing their names in public
places will be discouraged when they
find that their inscriptions can easily be
wiped off with damp cloth.
In the hollow piers and in the inches
arcand the crypt there will be shown
collections Of battleaags and Grant
relics. One Of the corners will contain q
spiral iron staircase by which visitors
may climb to the top Of the base or
square part Of the structure, whence an
unrivaled view Of the lower Hudson
and the city can be obtained.

tive in the French capital, will be the
orator of the day. The ceremony means
much to him because it not only marks
the successful close Of movement to do
fitting honor to the man who was his
lifelong friend and associate, but it
brings the elimination Of long years Of
personal endeavor on his part. AS one
Of the prime movers in the monument
enterprise and the president Of the COM
mittee which directed the work he has
given much time and energy to the
cause during the last few years. To the
sum total Of eloquence and enthusiasm
which were needed to arouse the Ameri-
can people and raise them to the neces-
sary pitch Of patriotic feeling he con-
tributed a large share. So it is entirely
appropriate that it is General Porter
who is to hand over to the. metropolis
this substantial tribute to the memory
Of the man who ended the war by say
ing, "Let us have peace. There will
be other addresses also, delivered by
men who may confidently be expected
to say something worth hearing.

RIVERSIDE DRIVE,

The Picturesque Park Where the Grant
Mausoleum Is Situated.
Perhaps it would be folly to claim for
the Grant mausO1eum architectural per-
lection, but he would indeed be a blase
critic who could find fault with it's SUI
perb situation. Growing one of the
highest points on river grit Manhattan,
it raises it's splendid, graceful bulk from
the brow Of a promontory that is 1874
feet above the waters of the Hudson.
The capstone of the dome is nealry 800
feet above high water mark.
No matter from what direction you
approach, the shining white Doric pile
is above you. Place it on almost any
other spot in the city, and it would be
dwarfed by the surrounding buildings.
Central park is walled in by skyscrap-
ing family hotels and apartment houses.
Morningside park is bit Of sunken
meadow, and Battery park is hemmed
in by big office buildings except on the
waterside. But Riverside park is green
strip on the edge Of high bluff which
forms the eastern bank Of the river
At the very pinnacle Of this park and
marking its northern terminus is the
plot on which the mausoleum stands.
Although the land side of the park is
dotted with fine residences, none is
large enough or near enough to cast even
shadow on it's base
Riverside park itself is largely occrs-
pied by great wide boulevard which is
the pride Of the city. It extends from
Seventy second street, where there are
rows Of millionaires' homes, up to One
Hundred and Twenty third street.
There is so much more boulevard,
than park to Riverside that New York
ers commonly refer to it as Riverside
drive. The boulevard is double one,
each drive being fully 70 feet wide,
and on the riverside are bride paths
and broad promenade protected by a
parapet.
The side of the bluff which slopes
down to the river has been laid out in
terraces, with winding paths, by Ohm
stead, the celebrated landscape architect
who changed Central park from swamp
to bower of beauty. On the east side
the drive is bordered by the homes of
New York S merchant princes.
At the northern end the roadways
merge into one big drive, which sweeps

apparent solidity which impresses. You
are not surprised to learn that the great
blocks on which rest the 80 foot portico
pillars weigh 40 tons each. You almost
realize their weight when you look at
them.

side, in which is the only entrance, is

trance is approached by long fight of
stone steps 70 feet wide. The lower
structure is finished with an ornate cor
nice, above which is parapet The cor
nice is 80 feet from the ground and is
decorated by frieze of carved lions
heads. The circular cupola is 70 feet in
diameter. Above this is the lantern,
somewhat smaller, and on this rests the
conical dome.
Directly in front Of the entrance is to
be placed an equestrian statue of Gen
eral Grant on pedestal which will
rise out Of the center of the stairway.
Above the portico four more equestrian
statues Of generals on Grants staff will
also be placed, but none of these will be
in position at the time of the dedica-
ton, or, in fact, for some time there
after. There will be another group of
statuary in the center of the parapet and
just above the simple inscription tablet,
and towering over all, on the very apex
Of the cone. will some day be placed the
chariot and prancing horses of the SYM
bolical Victory.
5 The interior of the tomb is in tho
form Of a cross, 76 feet at the greatest
dimension, the four corners being piers
Of masonry, connected at the top by
arches whose capstones are so feet above
the floor level. On these arches rests an
open circular gallery, 40 feet in dame
ter from rail to rail and eliminating
in a paneled dome 105 feet above the
floor of the crypt below. The panels of
the dome are to be decorated with high
relief sculpture representing scenes con-
nected with the life of General Grant.
Directly under the apex of the dome
and few feet below the main floor Of
the tomb is the sarcophagus, Of polished
red porphyry, which contains the ashes
of the honored dead. The body of the
sarcophagus is followed monolith,
weighing four tons The cover weighs
another ton. 1t was quarried in Mon
