tion grounds In this city. inflicting
wounds which caused the death OF the
president on September II, 1901, a
great monument typifying the love of
the people of Buffalo was dedicated
In Niagara square today The beau
tiful white marble shaft was planned
and executed under the direction of
commission of prominent men at
cost of sl50.0O0, furnished by this
municipality and the state OF New
York. Impressive ceremonies marked
the dedication. the speakers includ.
ing Governor Hughes, eX-President
Cleveland and others Of national fame
The exercises formed the central fea.
ture of Buffalos old home week and
were Witnessed by thousands of people
from all over the country.
The obelisk is OF pure white mar.
Bile, eighty.six feet in height, with A
base OF six feet and tapering gradu
ally to the top. II rests upon a great
pedestal. on two sides of which are
inscribed the record OF William Nc.
Klnley as a statesman and a soldier
On the north side is the following:
William Mckinley, died in Buffalo,
September Il, 1901. victim of treadh-
erous assassin, who shot the presi-
dent as he was extending to him the
hand of friendship"
Facing east. west, north and south
from the angles of the pedestal are
four sleeping lions in marble of he
roic size, the work OF Phinister Proc
tor. the New York sculptor.
Flanking The sides of the four bases
which support the marble lions are a
series of fountains. which are fed
with water from gargoyles located
close to the four corners of the ped
estal OF the obelisk. Surrounding the
whole is a broad circular promenade,
with mosaic floor and embellished
with balustrades and massive balus-
ters connected with heavy chains.
The approaches are flights of stone
steps, which pierce the parapet at four
points. Beyond the parapet leading
to the Street level are concrete walks
between which are grassy plots and
flower beds. The effect of the whole
in the opinion of the authorities is
the most beautiful OF any similar mem
orial in America.
The monument commission in
charge of the erection of the shaft
was composed of Edward II. Butler
and George L. Matthews of Buffalo;
T. 4. Curtis of Fredonia and John G.
Milburn of New York, in whose Buf.
falo house President Mckinley died
Mr.. Milburn was president of the i'll
ia ed Pan.American exposition compa-
ny.
The fund for the erection of the
monument was not given directly by
the New York legislature. but was
saved from the state appropriation for
the Pan-American exposition, through
the economical administration of the
late Daniel Newton Lockwood, a for
mer law partner OF Grover Cleveland.
At the close of the fair the money he
had received by act OF the legisla-
ture, instead of being turned back
into the state treasury. was diverted
TO the erection of the monument which
was dedicated today, the city giving
the site. establishing the surroundings
and agreeing to maintain the statue.

The ex-Empress Eugenie has recov- cred from the Republic all the per sonal property of her husband, Napo- leon II, which was retained by the nation after the fall of the second em- pire.
 An actions brought by the former Empress of the French against the Prefect of the Seine has resulted in a judgment for the delivery to her of hundreds of pictures, art objects, and relics which fifty years ago it was decided were the personal property of the Emperor as distinct from crown property.
 The list contains innumerable treasures that have remained as national property at the Louvre, at the klysee Palace, at Fountainebleau. al Complegne, at the 1rIanon, and al kampoulIlet 1t Is most interesting $ and valuable collection, including pie lures, bronzes ornaments, a book pre- sented by Pope Plus AI, GobelIns tapes try.

 Zola, who made Dreyfus's case his own, is to be placed at the Pantheons although his talent as a literary man was not of the highest order; Piqaart has been made Minister of War, and now a monument Is to be erected to the late Lydovic Tarrieux, senator of the Gironde and ex-Minister of Justice, who took such a prominent part in the Drcyfus agitation some years ago.
 The monument takes the form of 2 bust placed on a pedestral, on which are inscribed the Rights of Man snd of>the Citizen. On either side of the statue are two beautiful female figures representing Work and Justice.
