Especial Correspondence.)

Two generations have passed away
since the body Of Edgar Allan Poe
was laid to rest in a vault in old
Westminster Presbyterian church.
yard at Baltimore. For twenty-five
years no other recognition was &C.
corded to the dust OF genius until
Miss Sarah Sigourney Rice, principal
OF the Western Female High School,
collected fund for simple granite
monument. 1t was not until 1875,
however, that the body Of the poet
together with those OF his child wife,
Virginia Glen, and her mother, Mrs.
Maria Glenn, was dis!nterred and
placed beneath the monument.
Now, however, the city Of his birth
Is about to give tardy recognition to
Poe's genius, and Baltimoreans,
through the Municipal Art society, are
contributing to a 100000 fund designed
TO erect an imposing shaft.
When the fund is raised and the
question Of site for the monument
comes up for determination, there is
going to be Obstinate resistance on the
part Of many citizens against any pro-
posed removal of Poe's body from
Westminster churchyard The srgu.

half century, has woven a halo Of
romance about Westminster, and has
brought thither thousands of reveren

ment declare. the shaft should stand

Grave in Full Public View.
So far as publicity is concerned,
Westminster churchyard is far from
being a retired place. 1t lies at the
intersection of Fayette and Green
streets within a few squares Of the
heart Of the business quarter. The
poets grave and its simple headstone
are in full view Of thousands who pass
the spot daily on their way down.
town.
A movement has also been started
to enGow the room In which Poe died,
as an asylum for sick authors and
literary men. This room is In what
is now known as the Church Home
and Infirmary. but in. the poets day
It was known as the Washington hos
pi,al. The famous death chamber is
now occupied by the Rev. T. II. Pat.
tison, pastor of Emmanuel Protestant
Episcopal Church. The fund ncces
sary fer its endowment is placed at
$4,000.
The mention Of old Washington hos
