Closely Identified With Order.
Another real daughter. closely connected
with our nations history. was Mrs. Malvina

in October. She was the youngest child OF
Daniel Chaplin OF Newport. a revolutionary

Memory of Capt. John Smith.
Mrs Charles Washington Coleman Of
Virginia Is interested in the scheme to erect
a monument to the memory of Capt. John
Smith. The year 1907 will mark the COM
pletion OF the third century since Captain
Smith and his associates made the first set
tlement at jamestown, from which has
grown the United States OF America" she
said. THAT year Will be a fitting one to
commemorate the services rendered by the
man who. above all his fellows. distin-
guished himself In guiding the infant
colony through the terrible trials and perils
of its first years and saved 1t from the fate
which obliterated the settlement on Roa-
noke Island.
''The name Of Captain John Smith Is in
dissolubly linked with the history not only
of jamestown and Of Virginia, but OF that
Of the whole United States. and he Is by
common consent acknowledged to have been
the preserver Of this early settlement. All
who know the history Of the state believe
that he deserves lasting memorial.
I'VE think that this memorial should be
in the form Of bronze statue OF heroic
size. and that 1t should be placed conspicu-
OuSy on the site where the services were
chiefly rendered"
