After the ceremonies were ended,
the secretary of state, James g.
Blaine, said to Mr.. Winthrop: 81 am
happy to be able to inform you that
in all probability the Washington
monument will be completed within
that you will be in good health at
that time, for nothing could be more
appropriate than that the orator of
the day should be the same man who
delivered the address when the cor
nerstone of the Washington monu-
ment was laid, in 1848."
Mr.. Blaine went on to say that the
address at the laying of the corner
stone at the Washington monument,
which Mr.. winthrop as speaker Of
the House, had delivered in 1848 was
one of the memorable and truly great
American historical addresses.
A year or two later 1t became GER
tain that the Washington monument
would be completed in time to be
dedicated on the anniversary of
Washington's birth, February %.
1886
The committee of arrangements for
that celebration looked forward with
especial qualification to the appear
ance of Robert c. Winthrop as the
orator of the day and of General u
S. Grant as the most distinguished
guest of honor. Both were invited
and Mr.. Winthrop began the prep
aration of his address.
General Chester A. Arthur, then
President of the United States, also
consented to make a brief address.
After his retirement from the Pres
idency, two weeks later, and his re-
turn to New York, General Arthur
said: THAT was a sad coincidence
which made necessary the absence of
both General Grant and Robert Win
throp from the ceremony of dedicat-
ing the completed Washington mon
ument
Mr.. Winthrop was compelled, only
a short time before the day of dedi-
cation, TO send word to the commit
tee that on account of serious and

Naturallythis reflection. just though
1t may have been, was taken up
hastily by the London papers. Mary
Anderson was attacked scathingly
for her prudery, and her overnice-
ness. but eventually her way seemed
to be the best. For even If the Eng
fish people did tolerate the wild oats
of their prince they still were willing
to take their hats off to uncompromis-

Mary was quite as much a favorite
in England as she was In America.
No doubt the gay prince admired her
all the more for her precautions.
In 1889 she suffered a breakdown as
the result of overwork and the next

weeks at the then fashionable Long

sistently, followed her about the

After her marriage the beautiful
actress never appeared again. The
career that might have increased In
brilliance for many years more was
sacrificed for what Miss Anderson
believed to be her duties as wife
and mother.
