 And where were you educGted?" was the next question.

.FORTLEE MONUMENT
UNVEILED ON SITE OF REVOLU,
 TIoNARY DEFENSE.
Marks Vantage Point Whence Conti mental Soldiers Watched Brit ish Operations in
 New York.

New York-The Fort Lee Revolu. tionary Monument association gained | it's desired end the other day when | the monument erected to commemor- ate the important events which took | place near Fort Lee in the war of 1776 was unveiled. The association was organized October p, 1902, and in the winter of 1902-03, through it's efforts, an appropriation was obtained from the legislature of $1,000 as the | nucleus of a fund for a monument. To this amount the legislature added at the following session 5000.
 Steps had been taken by the asso- citation to obtain the only suitable site, which was in the outer works of the old Notifications, and after three years a title to this property was gained through condemnation pro ceedings. A competition for suit able design was held in October, 1906, in which many sculptors entered. The design offered by Carl F. Tefft of New York, who designed the fountain in the Bronx Geological park, New York, was chosen by the association, and later approved by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, which commission was made custodian of the funds.
 The design represents two of Gen. Washington's soldiers, a continental and a drummer boy scaling the Pali- sades at Fort Lee. The figures are cast in bronze, and are seven and one half feet high, mounted on pedestal ten feet in height, quarried from the native trap rock of the Palisades The statue is erected on three-foot ter race, bringing the total height to about
