MONUMENTS DIMENSIONS.

Active work on the construction OF
the monument was begun June IL,
1905. From that time until the pres
ent II has progressed rapidly with but
one short intermission.
To begin with, the outside height
from the platform to the dome of this
magnificent structure is 9S feet and
6 inches. From the floor to the sky
line inside is rs feet 8 inches. The
outside diameter of the mausoleum
is rs feet inches. and. its inside
diameter, generally speaking, is 30
feet, although this dimension extends
to IS feet at the recesses.
II is probable that no monument
in the world has a setting more beau
tiful than the one which will memo
rialize Mckinley. The operation OF
grading and preparing the site. and
Of building the great central approach
with its armored concrete foundation,
is one OF the most extensive ever
planned. The monument has grown
day by day, ever under the watchful
eye OF its architect and designer, Mr..
II. VanBuren Magonigle. of New
York, upon whom the great artisuc
and technical responsibilities for its
construction rests.
The structure will be reached by
flight of steps So feet in width, In
four runs, with wide landings be-
tween, making a total length of 200

Probably the most beautiful, eX-
pressive and expensive memorial OF
modern times is the one which has
slowly been reared during the past
year within the gates of Canton, upon
Monument hill. Westlawn cemetery,
the mecca of tears which this city
has and will yet shed for its beloved
dead, has become the greater mecca
OF a nations rebellious sorrow. Since
the event at Buffalo which robbed
the country of its president, stranger
pilgrims have wandered daily to its
gates, wreath in hand, and, barring
head TO sun or storm, have asked
the men who guard the nag
wrapped casket of the soldier.states-
man to lay their token there.
LOYAL GUARDS.
Right Loyalty, let us pause to say,

The day for the dedication OF the
Mckinley monument is not so very
far away. II is promised that on
September 80 the nations tribute to
the statesman win be fulfilled. Great
interest, therefore, attaches itself TO
the monument which has cost n half
million dollars to build, and also to
the deft workmen who have so skill

sale and uneventful stride before a
tomb, even though it be the tomb of
him who once commanded all on sea
and land who wore the blue, is but
solemn and impatient task. Often
during the present winter the writer
has met and talked with those guards

in the construction OF the monument,
and to all Of them The News owes It's

feet. The hill will be terraced to con-
form with the landings on the stair
cases, presenting a terraced mound
surmounted by the structure proper.
The dimensions of the staircase here
given apply to the main staircase,
which leads up from the lagoon, and
applies generally, although not with
exact correctness, as regards meas
urements, to the three other stair
cases which mount to the platform.
The plaza, 200 feet in width, lays at
the base of the staircases. The en-
tire monument site includes II acres
of land adjoining Westlawn cemetery.
The lagoon, which is to- be an inn
portant adjunct to the beauties of the
general setting, will be elaborately
flanked by trees and shrubs. 1t
forms at once one of the most expens-
i've as well as most important assets
to the monumental situation, and will
cost, when completed, It is stated, no
less than $4,000.
INTERIOR PLAN
Among the many elaborate exam
ules of striking architectural beauty
which the monument will show will
be the four large eagles which
surmount the four interior key
stones of the Mausoleum. The sar.
cophagus, where will rest the granite
casket holding the remains of the
president, is located exactly in the
center Of the tomb. Around this sa-
cred spot are stationed the four mas
sive arches which support the entire
upper structure Of the monument.
AS a basic structural. principal of
the tons Of masonry above each re-
cess is aided by two beautifully con-
toured columns of Doric design,
mounting upwards to where the sway
Of the arch allows them to bring
supportive influence to the immense
fabric leading to the upper dome.
PLUMED GUARDS.

carloads of brick were used in the
construction OF the arches and all
were placed in the short space Of
10 days. Thousands of tons of the
mostly costly granite have been used
and the entire estimated weight of
the structure is $1,000 tons.
WILL RELIEVE SEVERITY.
The decorative work which is in
the hands of G. H. Gill & Son, of
Buffalo, will be, when completed,
probably the most adequate of the
kind extant. This work, when placed
in position, will relieve to great ex.
tent the severe character of the un-
decorated surfaces of the Mausoleum.

MANY DONATIONS.
The Mckinley Monument has a
total cost of $500, 900, raised by popular
subscription. The aim of the memorial
association has been TO prevent any
one person from donating any great
amount, the greatest number of small
donations being preferred. The en-
tire amount for the building Of the
monument has been raised and now
the Memorial Association is raising
the necessary 100000 for an endow-
ment fund. The people of our coun-
try were not slow In responding 10
the call for money to raise fitting
memorial, and the donation flooded
In from every part of the country.
But II takes so very many small
sums TO raise half million dollars;
and as there are infinitely small ex-
penses going on all the time money
for the endowment fund is still lack
ing.
HARMONIOUS ARCHITECTURE
The main thought carried out in
the plans for the Mausoleum was
simplicity and dignity. Architect
Magonigle in a description forwarded
TO the Memorial Association said.
The consideration of prime i'm
portance is the choice of type and
character of the Mausoleum. Bearing
in mind the simplicity of President
McKinley's life and character, after
passing in review the many forms
that the memorial might assume,
have chosen the one which seemed
most appropriate, simple and digni-
fed-a circular domical wall archie
lecture OF great sobriety OF outline
and detail, rejecting an exterior coll
umnar treatment, not oniy as being
too rich in motif, but as confusing
the mass unduly when seen at a dis
tance.
"The interior on the contrary. seems
TO demand columnar treatment for =.
a reader comprehension OF its scale.
IL is lighted from above, the opening
being so proportioned TO the space
that n certain solemnity of effect
would be attained" The style is dis
tinctively Roman, every line being j,
arched and symmetrical and arches
and domes producing an effect very
pleasing 10 the eye.
ADAPTATION.
Architect Magonigle In his descrip-
tion further statedsas follows: "With
respect to the plan, circular form
is the one which adapts itself most
naturally to the contours OF the hill.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1907-04-23

mournful poise. Perpendicularly the
birds would be but 20 feet above the
casket, and considering the vastness
of the interior scale their strength
seems 10 be admirably rated.
THE sARCoPHAGUs
The sarcophagus will provide room
for another casket, space having been
reserved for the presidents wife.
Directly in the east wall of the Mau-
soleum two recesses are provided for
the presidents children.
The eagles are being carved under
the direction of Mr.. Ira Lake, of Buff
falo, a master sculptor whose work
appears in connection with some OF
the finest pieces of architecture and
statuary In the land. Mr. Lake con.
ducts an art school in Buffalo, and he
was the master sculptor at the st.
Louis and Buffalo expositions. His as
sistants In the work on the Mckinley
monument are Thomas Dudgeley,
suegi De Plato, Giovam Ferronto.
The eagles are now about three
fourths completed. They have pro-
gresesed to the point where their ex-
preston can be easily interpreted.

The New Homestead Law.

The homestead law has again re-
verted to the law which was in effect
up to 1901, and the change, which
went into effect May l, will have d
noticeable effect throughout the ter
ritory. The law reads as follows:
every person who is the head of d
family, and whose family resides in
this territory, may hold as a home
stead, exempt from attac chment,
execution and forced sale real prop
erty to be selected by him or her,
which homestead shall be in one COM
pact body, not to exceed in value the
sum of $500, and shall consist of
the dwelling house in which the
claimant resides and the land on
which the same is situated or of land
that the claimant shall designate,
provided the same is one compact
body.
"Any person wishing to avail him
self or herself of the provisions of
the foregoing shall make out, under
oath, his or her calm in writing,
showing that he or she is the head of
a family, and also particularly de-
scribing the land claimed and stating
the value thereof, and shall file the
same for record in d book to be kept
for that purpose in the Office of the
county recorder in the county where
the land lies
