A Protest Against the Grant Statue
Site.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Upon taking up your issue Of Thursday
evening for an hours pleasant reading l
was shocked to observe the caption "The
New Grant Statue. Location Selected by
the Commission. Ground Now Occupied
by the Presidents Stables
AS soon as my heart stopped humping
against my ribs with indignation 1 read
that Gen. Dodge, president Of the Society
of the Army of the Tennessee and of the
commission created by special act Of Con-
gress ito select a site and secure plans
and designs for statue or memorial of
Gen. Ulysses s. Grant, late President OF
the United States and general Of the
armies thereof had selected the ground
occupied by the Presidents stables. and
that the other two members of the COM
mission. whose names / will not mention,
as they only acquiesced, had conceded
with his views.
Thank God that there are over a million
Union veterans living who are not going to
be further imposed upon and will not per-
NIT the memory of their gallant dead to be
dishonored without protest.
Locate statue of Gen. Grant-the great
est general that ever ,lived-upon the
ground that his horses were stabbed upon ?
Never! ~
Certainly there is need Of a commission
OF architects to prevent the symmetry of
the capital Of the nation, SO beautifully
conceived by Major LEnfant, from being
DESTROYED during the early years Of the
twentieth century.
Let the statue of Gen. Grant be placed
at the southwest corner Of Lafayette Park.
the statue of Maj. Gen. George Brinton Nc
Clellan be placed at the northeast corner
of that park and thesstatue Of Gen. William
Tecumseh Sherman at the northwest cor
ner Of the same park, the place where the
base for the Sherman statue is being ex-
ceedingiy incorporates.
The statues Of the two greatest heroes of
the war Of the rebellion should be near
each other and in the most frequented and
most beautiful part Of this beautiful city
and not In out-of-the-way places.
since the statue of Lafayette Is upon the
southeast corner Of Lafayette Park there
must be other statues placed upon the other
corners to create an equilibrium, and those
named are the statues that should be so
placed
I trust that the Society Of the Army of
the Potomac, which is to meet in Washing
ton this year. will protest against the
statue OF Gen. Grant being placed upon
ground that any Presidents horses have
been stabbed upon.
The base for the Sherman statue might
pc LETT where 1t Is and statue Of Alexan-
der Hamilton placed upon II.

On comparison Of these conditions

be noted that in the Austro- H ungarian
army the number Of officers authorized
to contract marriage Is limited by
fixed proportion assigned to each

all further marriages must be deferred
pending the occurrence Of vacancies in
the married establishments.

HOUSE MOVING IN CHICAGO.
Work Stil Done by Old + Cushioned
Methods,

work StiN Done by Old Fashioned
Methods.
Last year 473 houses were moved in
chicago, says the Chronicle. Thus
there was an average Of more than one
house moved every day during the en-
TIRE twelve months. Frame houses,
brick houses and even stone structures
are moved from one place to another by
those experts who make a business OF
this particular kind of real estate trans
fers. That house-moving Is still an
important feature of the city's indus
tries Is attested by the fact that there
are fifty firms in the city devoting spe-
cial attention to taking dwellings from
their foundations and carrying them
bodily to some other point. The opera
ton has been reduced to such q science
that during the journey of the house
not timber or brick in the structure
Is disturbed. The trip is regarded as
80 safe and so certain to be free from
accident that often families do not
move out Of the dwellings, at all, but
remain In them perfectly secure while
the houses change locations.
House-m0ving seems q very simple
process. but there are In reality more
complications connected with the proc
ess than man who has never moved q
house could conjure up in the widest
flight Of his Imagination. In the first
place, q house cannot be moved except
BY movers who hold a city license
granting them the privilege to engage
IN such work. Before a man IL given
such license he must file q 5000 bond
with the city housemoving department.
This bond 10 a safeguard demanded by
the city to protect the municipality In
case an accident should occur during
the moving and q damage suit should
follow to which the city Of Chicago
might be made a party to the defense.
The housemoving department has sole
power to lay out the route along which
the house must be taken. Whenever It
Is possible the movers are compelled to
eject the transfer by way Of streets
that are little used. A fee Of S for the
privilege Of moving the house must be
paid to the city.
This does not end the movers trou-
bles or those of the owner Of the house
by any means. All Of the rules and
regulations Of the moving department
Of the city must be complied with and
an inspector Is always around to see
that these are observed. The house
owner does not have to reckon with the
ueighbors from whose midst he Is 20
