Art institute, is in Atlanta to lecture be-
fore the Atlanta Art institute and to make
tentative plans for the great pageant
which will be given next fall under the
auspices of the local institution in COM

cided 1t virtually is agreed the pageant
will revoIve around the principal events
in the history of Georgia Mr. Stevens
said this morning that about 800 persons
would be used in nine scenes and that
the costuming would be In keeping with
the scenes
The first scene, for instance, will repre-
sent life among the Indians before the
coming of the white man Then the ar
rival OF Governor Oglethorpe will be
shown and so on up to modern times
The last scene probably will be taken
from the Civil war.
The play for the most part will be spo-
ken The whole piece will be presented
out of doors.
Mr. Stevens himself will write the play
and he will get such data as is necessary
from histories and research among old
Inhabitants.

from Mr.. Underwood that congress will

monument to the memory of Generals
Screven and Stewart in Midway GENE
terry. Liberty county.
This has been a pet project with
Colonel Colquitt for eight years.
Congress passed this appropriation
two years OF more ago, but there was n
flaw in the framing of the act, and 1t
must be passed again. The contract al

ment will soon be up.

ian of heroic proportions and thought
full mien.
The monument, which was designed
by Daniel H. Burnham, architect, and
sculptured by dorado Taft, both of Chi
cago. is placed directly in front of the
union station at Washington, the gate
way to the national capital and facing
the capitol, which is only a few blocks
distant.
The unwilling of this memorial to the
famous Italian takes place AIS years
after he discovered America. The agi-
tation for It's erection was set afoot by
the Catholic order of the Knights of
Columbus Several years ago. The sub
scriptions started by this order practi-
cally assured the success of the project
and was later made secure by an ap-
preparation by congress.
