a Statue of Edwin VI. stanton.

(From the Steubenvlilc Daily Gazette
The trustees of the Stanton Monu-
ment Association have been very busy
the last few months. and have met with
splendid success. At their meeting this
week reports of committee were made
which gave great encouragement to tie
cause, and with the prospects of further
encouragement from friends of the
project the trustees are warranted in
announcing that the erection of a bronze
statue of heroic size to the worlds
greatest War Minister, Edwin NJ STAN
ton, in this his native city, is now rea-
sonably assured. =
The sculptor, Alexander Doyle, OF
New York City, also native of this
city, is now engaged on the preliminary
work for the statue at his Summer home
ut Squirrel Island, Maine, and upon his
return to New York City in about six
weeks will visit this city to confer with
those in charge of the work as to loca-
ton, etc
This will be the first statue erected to
the memory of Secretary Stanton in the
Nation, and it is quite appropriate to
have il in Steubenville.

From New York comes very strong

come before two National Conventions

each time come within a few votes ot

triotic woman, and as National Patriotic
Instructor OF the w. X. c. probably did
more to spread the interest in patriotic
work than any other woman who has
held that position. She has good execu-
