it is said of her that no woman in the
fashionable set does as much good
among the poor, for Mrs. Nelson does
not allow her charity to go through the
hands of a third person, but she visits
the sick and those in trouble herself
and sees that they are helped as they

FOR MONUMENT TO LAFAYETTE.
The French Cabinet Selects n Site for
America's Tribute.

Prof. B. D. Woodward. assistant United
States commissioner general to the Paris
exposition of 1900, just returned from
Paris, says that Ambassador NJ Jules
Cambon is in warm sympathy with the
project of the United States commission
to erect a monument to the memory of
Lafayette.
Before leaving Paris Commissioner Wood
ward had talks with NJ. Dupuy, president
of the council, and NJ krantz, minister of
public works, in regard to a site for the
monument. The French cabinet has ac-
cepted the monument and has selected one
of the most picturesque and delightful
spots IN Paris as its site. This, says Com
missioner Woodward. is in the courtyard
of the Place du Carrousel. in one of the
two little parks near the Gambetta monu-
ment. There the American monument to
Lafayette will stand. surrounded by the
sculptured gallery of Frances great sons
1t is proposed to call this place LAFAYETTE
Square.
1t is thus evident, says Commissioner
Woodward, that the French government
has a great appreciation of the friendly
sympathy in the United States which has
prompted the idea of this tribute to La
fayette.
