the country to recover from that war,
and so 1t happened that nothing but

The design adopted for this monu-
ment was a square pedestal inscribed
MARY. the Mother OF Washington"
There were two Grecian columns on
each side, each surmounted by m
eagle. and between the columns rose
an obelisk. topped with bust OF
| Washington. and perched on top OF
| the bust was an eagle with out
stretched wings.
The corner stone OF this monument
was set May 1. 1888. by President An
drew jackson. who delivered one OF
the most elaborate and impressive dis
courses Of his career.
Soon after this ceremony Mr.. Bur
roughs sustained financial misfor.
tunes and the work was suspended.
The pedestal was in place and the
obelisk had been hauled TO the grave.
but was not erected. Some desultory
efforts were made appropriately to
mark the grave. but without success,
and the approach OF the Civil War
turned peoples thoughts away from
such tender memories as those OF
Mary Washington.
A writer who visited the grave OF
Mary Washington In the SOS wrote
the following. which appeared in the
New York Times:
Tho monument was commenced
long before the great war, but never
finished. For four years IL lay be-
tween two armies and battle surged
around IL. The marbles are pock-
marked with bullets fired in that sad
time. II was within sight OF this mon
ument that occurred the terrible
slaughter of our troops on that awful
December day. 1862. But ten miles
away In the following May the rout
OF Charlottesville took place. and In
May. 1864. within fifteen miles. was
the bloody wilderness. In whose tan
giles so many men went down In bat
tie or were burned In the forest fires
kindled. Within ten miles was the
slaughter OF Spottsylyania courthouse.
So II may be said that within sound
OF that spot died over 10000 brave
men,"
II was in 1889 that strong impetus
was given TO the monument move
ment. The city OF Washington and
the whole country were wrought up
over the approaching Inauguration OF
President Harrison. when there ap-
peared in one OF the Washington pa

Rockefeller Gave ss,OOO.OO to It's
Founding.

New York. Jan. 2.-The Rockefel-
Ter Institute for Medical Research is
almost completed and will be ready
for its opening within a few days
This institution was founded by John
ID. Rockefeller in 1901. The immedi-
ate cause of his action was tho death
OF his little granddaughter five years
ago, by dysentery. He felt that n
place in which this and other diseases
might be studied by experts could be
of great service. and In a short time
he had the general plan of this insti-
tuition i'm his mind. AS soon as II was
founded and preparations for plans
and buildings begun, the boards Of
directors established scholarships in
various laboratories in this country,
and sent several physicians to Europe
to pursue Investigations there.
Meantime a site was obtained in
this city. at the foot Of East Sixty-sixth
street 1t covers 26 city lots, and the
main building five stories high, pro-
vides for physiological, chemical and
archaeological laboratories, gives
the third and fourth floors to expert
mental pathology and bacteriology.
and the fifth to photomicrogaphy and
general photography. The first floor
contains the library and assembly
hall and the necessary administration
