Treasury and State departments will un-
doubtedly be appropriated for generals Of

terrace or platform, thanked by exedras.
and upon the terrace are placed the pedes-
tails of the central figure and the two sub
sid1ary figures and groups.
THE terrace forms slightly elevated po-
sition facing the Presidents parade. from
which reviews of troops may be held as oc-
casion dictates.
''The gradually s1oping steps facing the
parade afford an excellent opportunity of
placing rows of chairs for such occasions,
as each step is three feet wide.
Sword Intentionally Omitted.
''The figure of the general is represented
in repose, as If in the act of reviewing
troops, and, it will be noticed, carries no
sword, which is Intentionally omitted in or

and characteristic custom.

The names in the order of merit given fol-
low the unanimous recommendation of the
advisory committee.
First in Intrinsic Merit.
That committee reported the design of
Mr.. Shrady to be the first in intrinsic
merit and best adapted to the site iEdi-
Gated. on the axis Of thezWhite House. and
the design submitted by Messrs. Niehaus
and Bacon to be SECOND in intrinsic merit,
and also as being adapted to either Of the
sites suggested, but not $50 desirable for
the so-called White Lot site as that Of
Mr.. Shrady. Owing, however, to the high
order of work of Mr.. Niehaus and notwith-
standing the brilliant character of Mr..
Shrady's composition, the advisory COM
mittee thought Undesirable to request
Messrs. Shrady and Niehaus to execute
another model ON a larger scale Of the
equestrian group only in each case, The
commission adopted this suggestion and
announced that its decision as between the
designs of these two artists would be made
after their second smodefs had been sub
m1tted. 1t was announced at the time that
the commission deemed either project sutfi-
GENTLY meritorious and that each artist had
stated his ability to erect his memorial at
a cost not to exceed $240 O00 as specified in
the law under which the commission was
created.
Point Overruled.
In the meantime, after the enlarged
models of Messrs. Shrady and Niehaus had
been submitted Mr.. Niehaus, through his
attorney, Mr.. T. C. Campbell, raised the
point that the memorial proposed by Mr.
Shrady could not be erected of first-class
material and in a frst-class manner within
the limit of cost of $4,000 available for
the purpose. This question was considered
by the commission and experts were called
upon TO make the necessary estimates as
TO the cost of Mr.. Shradys project, and
the conclusion was reached that it could
BE e,e executed fnd within the limits of the avail
The two models in. final competition have
been on exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery
or Art since last October, and during the
interval have been carefully examined by
the members of the commission and the
members of the advisory committee. The
result was the final selection of Mr.. Shra-
dys design for the proposed Grant memo
rial, confirmed at todays meeting of the
statutory commission.
In spirit and composition the Shrady and
Nehaus models are widely DIVERSE it is
stated, but in workmanship there is little
to choose between them. Mr.. Niehaus has
pictured the hero; Mr. Shrady the soldier
Mr.. Niehaus' work is full of action Mr..
Shrady's is conspicuous for repose. In the
first General Grant, is seen riding rapidly
forward, an infantry soldier to his right
carrying the flag of triumph and one to his
left bearing the laurel spray, signifying
victory; in the other he Is seen alone, as
though overlooking an engagement, his
horse refined in and stationary, with all four

to properly digest meat. eggs and similar nutri-

such food is unwholesome, but the real is
that the stomach lacks, from disease weakness,
some necessary digestive element; hence arising
indigestion and later on, chronic dyspepsia.
