Charities.

As usual, the past year was busy one
with the charities. The conditions of the
Door are ever needful Of attention. and to
those who aim to relieve the suffering there
is no such thing as inactivity. The princi-
pal charity work of the District Is In
trusted to the Associated Charities. which
co-operates with the Citizens Relief Asso-
citation. The latter association raises most
of the money, while the Associated Chart
ties investigates and applies the relief
where it is most urgently demanded.
During the past year the charities were
enabled to take care of all the demands
made upon them. The winter Of 19O1-19O2
was a comparatively mild one. but help was
seriously needed on a number of occasions,

Monuments and Memorials.

Last year was one Of activity in add
ing to the monuments and memorials to
distinguished men. On February IL the
Grant memorial commission, constituted
by act Of Congress, announced that models
for the design for a statue to Gen. q. S.
Grant would be received About thirty OF
the best known artists, sculptors and archi-
tects entered the competition, and their de-
signs were placed on public exhibition In
the basement Of the Corcoran Art Gallery
on April 1. These models attracted great
deal Of attention. Among those who view
ed them was the late Mrs Grant who was
accompanied by her daughter. Mrs. Sar-
toris. and daughter-in-law, Mrs Fred. d.
Grant. On April IA the committee appoint
ed by the commission recommended the
choosing of the design submitted by Shrady
of New York. The general design was
highly approved by the committee, but the
equestrian statue was not believed TO be
up to the standard of that submitted by
Niehaus Of New York. In consequence 1t
was recommended that both artists be
asked to submit each another design for
the statue. These were placed on exh1bi-
ton October !. The final award Is in
allegiance. On February ID artists were in
vited to compete for a design for a statue
to Gen. George B. Mcclellan. A number of
artists responded and the designs were ex-
hibited in the basement Of the Corcoran
Art Gallery, beginning April 30
Memorial services for the late Presi-
dent William Mckinley were held in the
House Of Representatives February IL. The
grafton was delivered by Mr.. John Hay,
Secretary of State
On May q the memorial to the Spanish
American war veterans of Washington was
dedicated with patriotic ceremonies.
The same month the statue Of Rocham-
beau, in Lafayette Square. was unveiled.
The Ordway memorial. at Arlington. was
unveiled June Is.
On June 30 memorial tablet to Presi-
dent Mckinley. presented by Justice An
derson, was unveiled in Metropolitan M. E.
Church.

monument to Gen. William T. Sherman will
be completed il April.

said Blake. "And Ray is officer of the day.

''They know their fate. I understand
said Blake, as the general moved on again.
"Oh. yes Their agent and others have
been here with Indian bureau orders, per-
hitting them to see and talk with the pris-
oners. Their shackles are to be riveted on
tonight. Nearly time now, isn't it?''

been given warning and removed to Suds-

home and loved it and the woman who had
so adorned 1t. She came In almost Instant
ly to greet them. looking piteously into the
kindly. bearded face of the general and
civilly. yet absently, welcoming the others.
She did not seem to realize that Field, who
had stood in silence by the side OF Capt.
Blake. had been away. She had no thought,

She was there! They had listened for
swish of skirts or fall of slender feet upon
the stairway, but there had not been a
sound. They saw the reason as she halted
at the entrance, lifting with one little hand
the costly Navajo blanket that hung as a
portiere. In harmony with the glossy folds

Indian garb from lead to foot. In two

and her feet were shod in soft moccasins,
also deity worked with bead and quill. But
it was her face that chained the gaze of
ALL and that drew from the pallid lips of
Lieutenant Field a gasp of mingled con-
sternation and amaze. Without yestige
of color; with black circles under her gilt
tering eyes; with lines of suffering around
the rigid mouth and with that strange
pinched look about the nostrils that tells of
anguish, bodily and mental, Nanette stood
at the doorway. looking straight at the
chief She had no eyes for lesser lights.
All her thought, apparently, was for him
for him whose power 1t was, in spite of
vehement opposition, to deal &c he saw fit
with the prisoner in his hands. Appeal on
part of Friends societies. peace and Italian
associations had failed. The President had
referred the matter in its entirety to the
general commanding in the field, and the
general had decided. One moment she stud
led his face, then came slowly forward. No
hand extended. No sign of salutation-
greeting-much less of homage. Ignoring
all others present, she addressed herself
solely to him.

All the officers, with two exceptions, were

And 1t was Ray who received and well

Into Fields pale face there had come a
look of infinite distress. For a moment he
hesitated, and little beads began to start
out on his forehead.
