MEMORABLE DAY PLANS
MEETING OF GAR. DEPARTMENT
COMMITTEE TO RECEIVE REPORTS
Appropriate Services to Be Held at All
the observation-disclosures
tees in Charge.

There was a full meeting of the memorial
committee Of the q Al R.. Department of
the Potomac, at headquarters on Saturday
night. The reports received from all the
subcommittee showed that very much of the
preliminary work had already been done in
preparation for the suitable observance Of
Memorial day. There are upward of 10000
deceased soldiers buried within this juris-
diction, and the work before the committee
involves arrangements for the strewing of
flowers upon each of their graves. The
committee also intends to hold appropriate
services, as has been customary, at differ
ent points within and adjacent to the city,
including Arlington, the Soldiers Home.
Anacostia, Georgetown Fort Stevens Con-
gressional. Glenwood and Harmony GENE
terles. The general committee having these
arrangements in charge consists of the de-
partment officers, past department COM
manders post commanders and one repre-
sentative from each of the posts in the de-
partment; the department officers and the
captains OF the several commands of the
Spanish War Veterans and the colonies of
the camps of Sons of Veterans.
Inc detailed arrangements are In the
nanos OF numerous subcommittee. among
which are those on reception, finance,
decoration and grounds, music, transport
tat1on, etc. Their labors are supplemented
by the various patriotic organizations of
ladies' who will have assigned to them the
immediate duty Of placing the flowers on
the graves. The plans outlined will involve
considerable outlay of money, and it is
the duty of the finance committee to pro-
vide the funds necessary to defray these
expenses.
Liberal Contributions Expected.
While contributions have in previous
years been extremely liberal and from all
classes Of citizens it is confidently expected
by the members Of the committee that the
generosity heretofore displayed in this re-
gard will be largely exceeded this year.
Contributions are being received for this
purpose by Department Commander l. G.
kimball. Assistant Quartermaster General
A. P. Tasker and Past Department Com
mander 6. H. Slaybaugh, the chairman of
the finance committee. 1t may be of in
terest in this connection to state that the
surplus remaining after expenses have been
fully made Is each year devoted to the
relief of the actually needy among the old
soldiers, their widows and orphans, and in
this distribution the Spanish war veterans
share as in the strewing of flowers upon
the graves of their dead. The dead of other
wars also receive the same loving remem-
brance as do those who wore the Union
blue in the great civil strife.

NEW TEXAS MAGNATE
JOHN klRBY'S RISE FROM PENNILESS
LAWYER TO MULTlMlLLlONAlRE

Gained Meager Education In the
Interim of Toll In the Cotton Fields.
Early Struggle of One of Texas
Richest Citizens.
Few men in this land of opportuni-
ties have grasped them more success
FULLY than John H. Kirby of Texas,
whose splendid home at Houston, just
completed, is noted throughout the en-
tire south for it's beauty and magnifi-
cence.
Mr.. Kirby in the fullest sense was
the builder Of his own fortune. Ten
years ago he was penniless lawyer.
Today he is, at the age of forty-two,
the owner of more land than he can
ride across between sunrise and sunset,
is worth something like $20,0O0,0O0
and lives in the finest private mansion
west Of the Mississippi river.
Impoverished by the civil war, John
Kirby's parents were too poor to send
him to school. AS a mere lad he la.
bored on farm. and what little educa.
tion he acquired was self taught. In
fact he was nineteen years Of age be.
fore he was able to read readily. Still
he persevered, but when fifteen years
ago he hung out his shingle in the iso.
lated Texas village of Woodville he
looked back OH a past of unremittins

small promise. He had not a dollar.

crumbs he had gathered in a district
school during a few months in the
year and the legal knowledge he had
absorbed from reading in the country

dream of success and the determine

istence cluster about that city. 1t was
there that the state was born and
struggled upward through the first
years of it's existence. 1t was this little
town which hundred years ago was

tory lying between the Ohio and the
Mississippi 1t was at Chillicothe that
General Arthur st. Clair set up his ter
ritorial government as governor Of the
northwest territory. and the house in
which he dwsIt is still standing.
The agitation for statehood received
its greatest momentum under the lead
ership of quartet of Chillicotheans-
Thomas Worthington. Nathaniel Mas
sic, Edward Titiin and Donald Duncan
McArthur-and it was there on Nov. 20.
1902, that the first state constitution
cothe in the spring of the following
year that the young state came into
being and Edward Tiffin elected her
first governor.
With all these things in it's favor it
was inevitable that Chilicothe should
be selected as the most fitting place to
hold the great celebration, prepara-
tons for which have been in progress
for several months. Last fall the state
legislature appropriated $4,000 as the
states share toward the expenses and
authorized Governor Nash to appoint
a commission to take charge of it. The
states contribution has been largely
supplemented by other funds.
The State Historical and Arcll;rolOg-
ical society appointed Il centennial COM
mission to act in conjunction with the
committee named by the governor. 1t
was decided that the celebration must
be primarily oratorical, and speakers
of national reputation have been in
vited to be present. AS no auditorium
in the city is large enough to accommo-

Another feature which will be of
great interest as well as appropriate
to the occasion is the archaeological and
historical exhibition. A liberal appro-
priation was made for this feature,
which will be held in Memorial hall.
Ross county has long been considered
q treasure house of Indian and mound
builder relics, and there will be gath
cred all these relics, illustrating the
life and habits Of those people. There
will also be Il large department de-
voted to portraits, manuscripts and 9th
er things of interest connected with
tie history of the state.
It is proposed to have the addresses
from a consecutive series which will
give more fully and accurately than
ever before the history of Ohio and the
northwest territory from the moment
tho French sailed down the Belle ri
Wore to the present.
J. most elaborate scheme of decora
ton was adopted. which will transform
the town into Il veritable Venice in car

be made into courts Of honor, with

Lights, and every private dwelling in

in her richest garb at that time, and
Chillicothe has always had good reas
to boast of her natural beauty. so that
she will be doubly attractive during
centennial week.
While the formal programme calls
for but two days the celebration will
last several days longer 1t has been
decided that celebration of such mag
nitude mast have some features of a
spectacular nature. State, county, city
and all the patriotic societies have tax
en- deep interest in the event and will
each contribute symbolical or histor-
ical float for the grand parade The
military display will be most imposing.

The old square stone statehouse in
which met the early legislators of the
state of Ohio has long since disap-
peared, but there are still standing
many other memorials of that day.
There is "Adena," the great stone man
sion which Thomas Worthington built
at enormous cost in 1906. Also, there
is "Fruit Hill,' on neighboring bluff,
built by Duncan Macarthur, afterward
governor Of the state. Both these man
sions are splendidly preserved.
Many other memorials of a century
ago are still standing, among them the
house where General st. Clair made
his home when governor of the terrific
~ and the great elm under which Lord
Dunmore made his famous treaty with
Logan, chief of the Mingoes. 1t was
from 4 viewpoint on the hills just west
of the city of Chillicothe that the great
seal of Ohio was made. Four govern
ors of the state lie buried in the ccme-
terry overlooking the city.
Chilicothe is not without experience
in centennial celebrations. In 1896 the
city celebrated in a most elaborate
manner the one hundrcdth anniversary
of her founding by Nathaniel Massie.
In 1706 at the head Of little band Of
hardy adventurers he pushed his way
up the Scioto valley from Kentucky
and laid out the town.
But the celebration next May will far
outshine these efforts, not alone be-
cause Of the greater importance of the
event to be commemorated and in the
elaborate preparations made for its OBJ
servance, but in the great home coming
of self eXiled Ohioans, who are scat
tered throughout the length and
breadth of the Union. Bushels Of letters
are pouring in from them-there are
over 100000 living outside the bor-
ders of the state-and it is evident that
the centennial celebration is to be a
sort of ''old home week. for these ex-
