Advisory Committee Again
at Corcoran Art Gallery.
SELECTION OF MODELS

NEXT WEEK.
Commission Viewed Designs With
Names of Artists Restored
MI. Borglum's Idea.
SELECTION OF MODELS

The advisory committee on the selection
of the design for the proposed Grant monu-
ment is reported to have concluded it's
study of the models this morning and to
have prepared it's report to the commission
which is to make the award. All day Sun
day, all day Monday until we'll into the
evening, and several hours this morning
were given to the careful inspection of
the models now on view in the basement
of the Corcoran Gallery and in the War
Department. This morning the advisory
committee left the hall of models and
withdrew to the Office of the trustees Of
the Corcoran Gallery and set at work pre-
pairing it's written statement to the monu-
ment commission.
1t is possible the. announcement of the
award may not be made for several days,
until the monument commission has had
time to choose the one design which Is to
be erected. This is particularly likely to be
the case it, as seems to be rather generally
expected by the competitors, the advisory
committee has recommended the use of the
figure from one design with the architect
ural surroundings of another.

which the design will be decided upon may
not be made until early in the coming week.

Chicago Manners.
From TIE Chicago Tribune


Just as there was an attempt made re-
Gently to prove that Chicagos physical en-
vironment is responsible for certain literary
characteristics, there is an effort made
to show that the moral atmosphere of the
city develops certain social characteristics
known as Chicago manners 1t Is even init
mated that it is more difficult for a camel
to enter needles eye than for a man born
and bred in Chicago to keep the high
thoughts seated in a heart of courtesy"
necessary to the making of that impeccabIe
parsonage, gentleman. The difficulty in
securing seat for his person is said to be
the reason why the would-be gentleman's
high thoughts are left standing. or in other
words. poor street car service engenders
POOR social service. Yet, on the other hand.
the fact that the public service is SO faulty
may afford opportunity for the development
of personal poiiteness that might other
wise sink into disuse. This seems to be a
truer statement of the case Tor in spite of
the preyerbial push that prevails in the
city. politeness and good feeling have not
altogether gone 10 the wall and the stuff
of which Chicago manners is made seems 10
reveal an encouraging number of the golden
threads of courtesy.

The testimony was to the effect that Hill

When told that he was under arrest Hill
objected to going. and struck Roper sew

officers badge. In disposing of the case
the court said that the evidence did not
show that Hill had used more force than
was necessary, and that he was justified in
taking the action that he did in preventing
the arrest. The charge against Hill of as

Mr.. Borglum's Design.

A design that has attracted considerable
attention from the visitors to the colec-
ton is by Mr.. Solomon l.. Borglum Of New
York. The conception throughout is an
impressive one. One Of the groups, a fea-
ture of the scheme, is reproduced in con-
nection with this article. Referring to his
design. Mr.. Borglum today said:
Il have always been impressed with the
great result achieved through Gen. Grant s
victories. In reading his own works I
was strongly impressed by the fact that he
did not consider this great war of the re-
bellion finished until harmony was estab-
lished between the north and the south,
and In all his writings we feel that he did
not see the fruits of his great work until
near the end of his life, when he wrote:
I feel that We are on the eve of a new
era, when there is to be great harmony
between the federals and confederates. The
universal kind feeling expressed for me at
time when 1t was supposed that each day
would prove my last seemed to me the
beginning of the answer to. let US have
peace l cannot stay to be living witness
to the prophecy, but 1 feel it within me
that it is to be SO. The war has made us
nation of great power and intelligence.
We have little to do to preserve peace, hap
p!ness and prosperity.
Glorifcation Of Peace.
"This new era In his idea was to be one
of union, peace and prosperity during
which the sad souvenirs of the great strug-
gle between the north and south were to be
forgotten. This inspired the motive of the
new era represented On the top of the mon
ument. and led to me to the idea that no
representation of battles ought to figure
In this memorial, but only the results
brought about by those battles Grant won
by his untiring energy. thus making the
Grant memorial a glOrification of peace
union and harmony between the north and
the south"
The whole thing is intended as sculp-
tured motive from Grants own words, and
is indeed unique

The dogs gave reception the other
night and all society turned out. The
lanterns and the visitors were told to be
there about feeding time
The dogs are inclosed in three COM
partments, separated from the public by
a wire fence. There is one dog boarder,
and he has a compartment all to himself.
He eats his dinner Of cooked meat in
solitary grandeur and apparently does
not appreciate his exclusiyeness. The
other dogs fight and growl when fed, and
the solitary boarder looks as if he would
prefer to take chances with the others.
The kennels are long, low sheds in
which the dogs can stay at night. Dur
ing the day they are permitted to roam
about the fenced Enclosure. There is
plenty OF shade and water. The New
foundlands and spaniels greatly enjoy the
splashing around III it.
