A MODEL OF THE MAINE.
Clever Reproduction of the battle
ship In Miniature by Mr.. NunnaIIy.

Though the thrilling events OF the pres
ent war with Spain now crowd fast upon
each other, they have not yet served to
eiface from the public mind the memory
OF tho destruction OF the battleship
Maine. In Habana harbor, and the many
efforts to perpetuate the story OF that
terrible catastrophe will doubtless con-
tinue for years to come.
one OF tho most interesting attempts
yet made along that line in this city is
the work of Mr.. George l. Nunnally. OF
No. 800 east Clay street, who has con-
structed and has on exhibition at that
number a most eugenious model Of the
Maine" The miniature battleship Is
about five feet long. and is largely con-
structed Of metal coated. with the dull
hghting-coior paint. She is most COM
plete In every detail, including fighting
tops. tail tunnels, turrets large and
small guns. and steam launches. and best
Of all, flies from her nizzen peak stars
and stripes Of "Old Glory"
Mr.. Nunnally is an employee OF the
Richmond Paper-Mill, and his model has
been greatly admired

GENERAL LEE ACCEPTS.
He Considers II an Honor TO Pay
Tribute 20 the OnISyvood Dead.

Miss Ruby Bodeker. president OF the
lakewood Memorial Association. has re-
ceived a letter from Major-Ceneral Fitz-
hugh Lee. accepting the invitation of the
association to join the column in its
march to Oakwood Cemetery Tuesday.
General Lee writes that he esteems It
an honor TO be allowed TO do so, and will
certainly take advantage of the privilege
of paying this tribute to the dead OF
1916. It was feared at first that duties
imposed by his new Office as major-gen-
eral In the army would prevent him from
accepting the invitation, but his letter
dispels all doubt.
Everything IS in readiness for the days
celebration. The officers Of the assCcia-
ton urge promptness Every member OF
the lakewood association IS urged to be
at ST. Johns church. Broad and Twenty
fifth streets, precisely at 4 o'clock.
