coin. No one plan has been definitely adopted,
but the sentiment Is all way, and 1t is virtu-
ally assured that before another year has passed
there will be under way the work necessary to
commemorate worthily the life and the deeds of
the Rail Splitter President"
One of the plans is for a great highway to be
known as the Lincoln Road, or the Lincoln High
way, to connect the capital with the battlefield of
Gettysburg. 1t is held by many students Of Eng
lish that the short address which Abraham Lin
coin delivered the battlefield of Gettysburg is
one of the finest examples of expression in the
mother tongue known to the world of letters.
Lincoln is inseparably connected with Gettysburg
and the fact Is due almost wholly to the speech
which he delivered on the anniversary of the bat
tie, speech which, it is said, was prepared only
at the last moment before delivery, the only pre-
paration except that of thought, consisting in a
few notes jotted down upon the back of old
envelope.
The senate committee on library which has in
charge memorial work, reported favorably bill
authorizing the expenditure of $100 900 for the
erection of a memorial arch upon the camping
ground of the American army at Valley Forge, in
the state of Pennsylvania. The library committee
some time ago, recommended and secured the
passage of bill appropriating money for the
tion in Washington of a statue to John Barry,
commodore in the United States navy during the
Revolutionary war. A monument also is to be
erected to Christopher Columbus and part of the
cost will be paid by the people of the United
States. Statues to Kosciusko and Pulaski have
been erected within the year, and other statues
and monuments, either have been put in place, or
are now well on the road to completion. 1t is
said that the patriotic societies. by their excellent
educational work throughout the country, have so
aroused the sentiment of the people that the
pressure which has been brought to bear con-
gress properly to recognize the services of the
dead and gone has been irresistible.
A good deal Of interest attaches to the pro-
posed memorial arch at Valley Forge. 1t
there that Gen. George Washington and his army
passed the awful winter OF 1777-S time Of suffer
ing, starvation and danger from the enemy. AS
has been said bill authorizing the expenditure
Of 100000 has been reported favorably from the
library committee. There seems to be no opposi
tion in congress to the appropriation, and bill
sanctioning 1t probably will De passed at the next
session.

Quaint Table Manners.

Jerome s. McWade, the Duluth mil
lionaire, talked at dinner about the
delights Of a backwoods vacation.
"I go to a quaint backwoods village
every summer" he said, "and number
less are the quaint people / meet
there.
"Old Boucher, for instance, the jan
itor of the village church. is most
amusing with his quaint ways. had
old Boucher to lunch one day, and
the cold lobster was served with a
mayonnaise sauce. When my servant
offered this sauce to Boucher, the old
man stuck his knife in it, took up a
little on the blade, tasted it, then
shook his head and said:
Don't choose none.'"

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently called
upon in one CT her marvellous crea-
tions to enact the role of sculptor,
and to model a certain bust in view Of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over it Is
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

always been forest, and the greater part of the
earthworks, consisting of entertainments, the star
redoubts. and Forts Washington and Huntington,
had not been greatly affected by the elements nor
disturbed by man. In 1878 an imposing celebra
tion of the anniversary Of the evacuation was
held AS result of this celebration, the Centen-
nial Memorial association was formed by patri-
otic women, who purchased the house which Cen
eral Washington occupied during the greater part
of the encampment The house has been restored
to it's condition when occupied by Washington.
In 1893, the general assembly of Pennsylvania
declared that "the title TO and ownership in the
ground covering the site, including Forts Wash
ington and Huntington, and the entertainments
adjacent thereto, and the adjoining grounds in all
not exceeding $50 acres, but not including there
in the property known as Washington's headquar-
ters, and now owned by the Centennial and Me-
mortal Association of Valley Forge shall be vest
ed in the state of Pennsylvania to be laid out pre-
served and maintained forever public place,
or park, by the name Of Valley Forge, so that the
same and their Notifications thereon may be main
tained nearly possible in their original con-
ditions military camp"
Since the establishment of the park, the state
of Pennsylvania has appropriated $313,215 toward
the acquisition and improvement of the land and
buildings, including the Washington headquarters
building and ground, which were acquired five
years ago by condemnation, and made free'to all

In 1901 the Daughters of the Revolution erect
ed on the reservation an imposing granite shaft
so feet high, called the Waterman monument. On
the, face of the monument is the following in
scription:

Daughters of the Revolution.
On the south side is another inscription as
follows:
Near This Spot Lies Lieutenant John
Waterman,
Died April 49, 1778, Whose Grave Alone of All
His Comrades, Was Marked.
1t is estimated that there were 5000 deaths in
General Washington's army during the winters
stay in this camp Most of the bodies were buried
in the camp grounds. Five years ago the Daugh-

Members of the senate committee on library,
press the hope that eventually all the great battle
fields of the Revolutionary and Civil wars in the
states of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland will
be connected by boulevards
The great memorial arch at Valley Forge will
be one of the few great arches of history which
will represent something more than mere victory
in the battle of men. 1t a moral and physical
victory in one that Washington and his men
achieved at Valley Forge. They conquered priva-
tion and they conquered rebellion against the hard
ships of fate.
The Romans practically the originators of
the memorial and triumpha arch. In fact they used
the ordinary building and bridge arch itself to a
much greater extent than had ever been known be-
fore Three OF the great Roman triumphal arches
are still standing. They are those of Titus Sept-
mius, Severus and Constantine. That of the first
Christian emperor is by lar the most Deautful. IL
marks the triumphal return from Gau and Brit
ain led as tradition has It, by the blazing Of
stars with the luminous sign which bade him con
quer by this"
In the Arch of Septimius there could be traced
for years after its erection the information that
the emperor had gained great victories the
Parthians AS one looks at this monument today
it is interesting to recall that the man and en-
peror who passed in triumph under it after its
pletion was the one who built the wall in Britain
to check the nroads of the fierce Scotch High
landers The Arch of Titus has but one arcade or
entrance and upon this there rested at one time
with other spoils of war; the golden candlescks Of
the Temple of Jerusalem, of which Titus in very
truth had not left "one stone upon another"
Of the other famous Roman arches, the founda-
lions of erected in the days of the republic, may
still be traced, though of the structure which
above them little or nothing is known. It was
der this arch that Fabus MaXmus walked in tri.
umph after he had thoroughly thrashed the Gauls.
Another arch, but of which trace exists, was
one that was erected in Syracuse in honor Of Ver-
res the legate Of Rome in Syracuse. for whom
Cicero as every schoolboy knows, made it un-
comfortable in one of his orations.
There are still foundations left of the Arch of
