New York. Aug. s.-After long delay
and much discussion the Municipal Art
Commission has formally approved Bar
tholdi's imposing group statue of Wash
ington and Lafayette, which Mr.. Charles
Broadway Rouss intends to present to
New York city.
The park commissioners have selected
as the site for the monument a triangular
place of land at the junction of Morning
side esplanade and Manhattan avenue.
This site is now being prepared for the
monument.
The statue. which was shipped to this
country from France some two years ago,
has never been unpacked and is stored in
New Jersey.
The unwilling will probably occur in
the latter part of September. The sug
gestIon has been made that the ceremony
might appropriately be held on one o.
the days of the Dewey celebration, wher
the city will be in gala attire.
1t has been decided to bestow upon the
site of the statue the name of Washing
ton-Lafayette Park.

MIR. Rouss' offer Refused
Winchester. May L,se $4,000 By Action OF
County Board.
Especial TO tho baltimore SUM-

Winchester, Va. Aug. s.-By the re,
fusal of the Board of County Supervisors
of Frederick county to accept the PROPOSE
ton made by Mr.. Charles B. Rouss, which
was that they relinquich their claim to a
portion of the market square, so that a
public building could be erected thereon,
the city of Winchester loses $50, 900.
Mr.. Rouss offered this sum with which
to erect the building. The Board of SUI
pervisors and a committee of the City
Council were in conference during the
entire day, but the Board refused every
proposition made. The first proposition
made was that the county should give the
city permission to erect the building on
the market square, which both city and
county claim. The building was to be
surrounded by park for the joint use of
both. In lieu of hitching yard the
Jacobs property, recently purchased by
Mr.. Rouss for the purpose, was to be used
by the county as hitching yard, and was
to be maintained by the city, which was
to erect sheds, building containing sit
ting rooms for ladies, and make other i'm.
provements. This proposition. upon
which was based the conditional offer of
the $50, 600, was refused by the Board on
the ground that the Jacobs lot,was not
large enough for a hitching yard. A
modified proposition offering them in ad-
dition portion of the market square as
hitching yard was also refused. as was
also the proposition to submit the whole
matter to arbitration. with the three
judges of the Virginia Supreme Court as
arbiters. The Board also refused to sub
NIT any counter-proposition to the city.
What action Mr.. Rouss will take in regard
to his proffered gift is not known, but
it is thought that the matter will be held
up until the Supreme Court of Virginia
decides the suit now pending between the
town and county for possession of the
market square, which will be next Jan
uary.

The report of the recent Epworth
League grove meeting at Middleway
given in our last having been butchered
by the compositor by way of omissions,
we append below the report as furnished
us in full:
The Third Annual Epworth League
and Sunday School Convention convened
in Mr.. J. B. Watson's grove, near Mid
dleway, July 81. The services were well
attended and the crowd on Sunday the
largest ever seen in the little town, de-
spite the threatening state of the weather
in the early part of the day. Many min
listers and laymen took part, and several
addresses were made by Rev. w. F.
Locke. of Washington City. Rev. 1. G.
Michael, of Linden, Va, and Dr. Bond.
Also by Rev. L. R. Milbourne, of Charles
Town, Revs. KILLER and Hesser, of Shep-
herdstown and Brucetown, respectively;
Rev. A. H. Green, of Middleway, and
Messrs. Heidwohl and Swimley. The
music was unusually good. consisting of
many solos, duets, quartets, etc. Cor
netist, Mr.. Baker of Charles Town; vio-
linists, Messrs. Shaull, whitacre, Shirley
and Smith, of Middleway. The reci-
tations were well rendered, and thorough
ly enjoyed by all. Those taking part
were Misses Hattie Grantham. Grace
Lindsay, Florance Watson. Charlotte
Barnes. Celia Cockrill, Almira Payne
and Grace Morris. The essayists
were Misses Helen Bates, Mamie Small
and Edith Lloyd. The expressions of
all present were favorable. and the pas
tor, as we'll as members of the League.
feel that much good was accomplished
by the series of services.
