.COLONNADED HALL
IS PROVIDED FOR
LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Henry Bacon Design, Also,
Would Have Statue of
\ Emancipator Inside.

In spite Of the secrecy, which has
been maintained concerning tho model
for the Lincoln memorial to be erected
in this city. made by Henry Bacon and
carefully guarded at the National Mu-
scum. 1t has become known that the
design provides for a colonnadcd hall
with statue inside Of 1t.
This hall, according to the plans, Is
to be erected on the Mall just south
Of the Aqueduct bridge. 1t is to be
about 125 feet long and GO feet high.
Around 1t Is to be colonnades OF pillars.
The whole is to give the impression OF
q classic temple.
A heroic statue Of Lincoln is to be
placed In the temple. To see this, Of
course. the visitor must enter the hall.
No exterior part Of the temple Is to
suggest the nature OF the memorial.
The design has aroused the serious
commission. They do not like the site
picked out, nor the kind of memorial
selected for the site. They say 1t will
rarely be seen II located a mile or two
from the Washington Monument, and its
character will not be understood unless
the visitor Is told what it memorializes
by guide or friend.
The Bacon design has not been adopt.
ed. 1t Is under serious consideration.
however, and If the Mall site Is ulti-
lnately chosen. 1t probably will be the
design selected.
The Post models are yet to be ex-
amined by the commission. They con.
template the location of the memorial
at some other point in the city. A meet.
ing of the Commissioners to inspeCl
these models will be called In a few
days by the President.

LIQUOR traffic should be drafted or the
support of the anti-saloon element
should be thrown solidly behind one or

The league has supported the Miller
Curtis bill in the past. but there Is no
certainty that this support will be con-
tnued. s. Z. Nicholson, legislative su-
perintendert of the league. says that
the body Is looking for the best measure
it can find. 1t is not improbable that
the energy of the league may be d.

The Mlller-Curtis bill proposes to dc.

Sale Of Christmas seals to provide

Arlington Cemetery Is materially affect

seals. according to Mrs. Theodore North
Mclaughlin, who is in charge Of the
sales Of the latter. Mrs Mclaughlin
says that because the booths for tide
sale Of Confederate stamps are in the
same stores as are the booths for the
sale of Red Cross stickers. purchasers
are dividing their money between the
two.
THE appearance Of the Confederate
stamps is going to hurt both ventures
fear said Mrs. Mclaughlin. The
trouble in handling the stickers in the
Postoffice Department has been added
to, and Postmaster General Hitchcock
has only temporarily raised the ban on
the placing Of seals on the faces OF

they will be barred.

hull Of the American battleship as II
carried down to their death 266 sailors
and marines. For weeks, from dawn
to dark. Wainwright toiled beside the
wreck. directing the divers work, and
recovering the bodies Of the dead.
On April s, long after Captain Sigsbee
and his subordinates had been relieved
Of the painful task. Wainwright. the
sole surviving officer Of the Maine left
in Havana harbor, pulled down the
weather-stained flag that had fioated
day and night from the shrouds Of the
wrecked battleship.
