"Arm and Waist Social. "

A delightful affair was the en-
tertainment Civ en- at the First
Methodist parsonage on South
Third street, last Wednesday
evening, when the Epworth
League members entertained
with an ''arm and waist" social.
Each person who attended had
to pay a cent an inch, according
to the measurement of her waist,
or his arm, and quite a nice sum
was realized for the benefit of
the League.
Mr.. J. F. Warren sang several
interesting selections, after
which little Miss Rebecca Pc
CUES rendered a beautiful song.
After other interesting features
during the evening delightful re-
freshments were served.

cation preparatory to the univer-

the 35th regiment and was a
brave soldier. This is his first
visit to his old home in 80 years.
He notes the absence of many
familiar faces and old landmarks,
but is delighted with. the evi-
dences of civic pride, in the way
of elegant homes, paved side

crate army.
The cost of the memorial was
in the neighborhood of $4,000,
which sum was raised by contri-
buttons from many sources,
north and south. 1t was made
possible largely through the en-
ergy and initiative of Captain
William T. Rigby, chairman of
the National Military Park COM
mission, who, as an Iowa soldier,
fought against General Lee in
1868, and who, as an associate
in the work of the commission,
became one of his warmest

STEPHEN D. LEE STATUE
UNVEILED LAST FRIDAY
IMPOSING CEREMONY THE NATIONAL MILITARY PARK At WCKSBURG MANY
THOUSANDS WITNESSED PATRIOTIC EXERCISES

Filled with love. reverence and
patriotism hundreds of veterans
and throngs of others visitors
witnessed the unveiling of the
bronze figure representing our
own brave Stephen ID. Lee on
last Friday at the National Mill
tary Park, Vicksburg. Promi-
nent men, regardless of party
lines, from all over this country
were present and took part in
the sad and impressive exercises.
After a salute from Warren

applause were heard as little
John Glesner Lee of Chicago,
grandson of the beloved hero,
and Lee Harrison of Columbus, a
nephew, drew back the flags,
and the handsome statue of the
dead chivalric soldier was pre-
sented. Hardly a dry eye was
visible among the vast multitude
as they gazed upon the likeness
of General Lee and thoughts OF
the past and present overwhem-
ed them. The Lost Cause,
the hard struggle-and now the |
almost complete harmony be-
tween the North and South all
was realized on this solemn oc-
casion. Col. Henry Watterson
of Louisville, spoke. Then Gen
eral Frederick Dent Grant, the
son Of General U. S. Grant spoke
in behalf of the Commander-in-
Chief of the Federal army in be-
half Of thu Secretary of Var,
Dickinson. General Gle nent
Evans of Atlanta, made the pre-
sentation speech while Col. Geo.

Of the day.
The memorial is the first statue
of Confederate soldier to be
erected in the Vicksburg Nation
al Military Park. 1t occupies a
prominent, high elevation in the
park. just south Of the A. & V.
railroad, where Gen. Lee was
placed in command of his troops
during the memorable seige of
Vicksburg.
The statue was modelled by
Henry Hudson Kitson, the Mass
-achusetts sculptor. The figure
is of a colossal size, standing ;
nine feet high. The attitude is
that of expectancy, of momentary
rest before decisive action. The {
left leg is raised and thrown for
ward, and the unsheathed sword, [
held in both hands, rests upon it,
the scabbard hanging by the ,
side. The uniform and accoutre-
ments are the familiar ones of /
the wearers of the grey. The
insignia of rank appear on the
coat collar. The buttons bear in {
relief the eagle and eleven stars. '
