apartment houses of the dead. These
are larger structures each of which
will hold from dozen to fifteen bodies,
and there are also chapels as big as

under them. A single chapel may have
room for fifteen hundred bodies. The
vaults are finished in marble: they are
entered by wide marble steps from the
interior of the chapel. For those VINO

A writer in the Boston Transcript
says that Ann Hutchinson, who was
the daughter of an English clergyman.
married William Hutchinson. and in
1884 came to Boston as follower and
admirer of Rev. John Cotton. Her
time she was not admitted to the
church, but soon she organized meet
ings among the Boston women. al
which she gave expression to her own
theological views. The meetings be-
came increasingly popular. and were
soon attended not only by the women.
but even by some of the ministers
and magistrates, including Gov. Henry
Vane
Religion and politics were blended In
the government of the colony OF Mas
sachusetts and the tenets held and i'm
a measure made popular by Ann Hutch
inson were protest AGAINST the strict

son was supported by Gov. Vane. John

In the election of 1857 the relative
strength of the parties was tested, and
Vane was defeated for the governor
ship by Winthrop. As a result of this
election Cotton recanted. Vane returned
to England in disgust. Wheelwright
was tried and banished and Ann
Hutchinson was communicated and
sentenced to Punishment. She went TO

E1HE proposition to erect in Washing
ton memorial to Clara Barton has
q attracted wide attention, and the
general favor with which the proposal has
been received indicates that it may bear
substantial fruit. In recent Issue of The
Evening star correspondent. urging the
erection of a memorial at the National
Capital to Miss Barton, wrote:
"In city so full of statues of soldiers
it would seem that suitable memorial
would have ere this been erected to the
memory of this noble woman
Following this. a past president OF the
Woman's Relief Corps wrote: "A memo
rial to Clara Barton should represent
movement of national scope; the con-
tributionS need not be larger than ~
cents for each individual. l am con-
fident when such movement is inau-
gurated it will be found that the re-
sponse win disclose a warm, wide and
deep reverence for her memory. The
memorial should be located in the Ma
tional Capital, and l feel assured that
Congress would act promptly and gen
erously in donating a site.
The idea of those persons interested
in a memorial to Clara Barton seems
to be that the memorial should be
given the form of public monument
or statue of the noted woman. And
lie memorials and statues of women
are few. In Statuary Hall at the Cap
itol there is marble statue of Fran

commission to execute the statue OF
Miss willard. which Illinois presented
to the United States for place in the

A statue of Ann Hutchinson will
probably soon be set up in the vesti-
