The Statue of Freedom.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
May l add interesting detail to a re-
Gently published article entitled Freedom
to Receive a Bath in which 1t is stated
that the statue of Freedom GROWING the
dome of the Capitol was built up in sec
tions, and the last section, compr;s ng the
head and shoulders. was hoisted December
2, 1863, a flag being at the same time
hoisted above it, The manner OF the
hosting was this: There was among the
workmen an intensely patriotic sailor,
named Sanders or Saunders, who kept In
sisting as the work went on that there
should be some means provided for display
ing flag above the statue. His fellow
workmen considered 1t a good joke but on
the eventful day of completion they were
Mortified to see him deliberately climb to
the shoulders of the statue and drawing a
flag from his bosom stand erect and iIng
its starry folds to the breeze To the crowd
below the sailor was but pigmy and his
flag looked no bigger than a handkerchief
but the cheers that rose to him on his dizzy
perch told him his act was appreciated
The incident was related to me by an eve
witness, the late Richard ii. Willet

great deal of confusion was caused IN the
Police Court room shortly after IL O'Clock
by the appearance of Policemen Flynn,
Newkirk and Vermillion, having under ar
rest A. w. Scott, a colored attorney, and
D. P. Syphax, colored, a broker. The men
were placed in the dock, while the officers
secured an information charging them with
disorderly conduct. In the meantime the

released
They did not answer when their names
were called, and the money was declared
to be forfeited.
Syphax and Scott occupy the same Office
