figure a separate charm.
The memorial is to carry this in
scription: To the memory and in
honor of the members of the various
orders of sisters who gave their serv-
ices as nurses on battlefieldS in hos
pitfalls and on floating hospitals during
the civil war"
In connection with the convention

to consider plans for the unwilling.
Senator Phelan has gone to Califor-
MIA to present to the city of San Fran
cisco and to unveil a replica of the
Robert Emmett memorial. which is
now in the National Museum.
Authority for the Memorial.
The resolution authorizing the
nurses memorial to be erected on
public park property in the National
Capital was put through Congress by
Representative Ambrose Kennedy of
Rhode Island, who referred to the
nuns as the immortal heroines of the
civil war" and the memorial as "a
wholesome and lasting expression of
a peoples gratitude. belated though
it is, for their deeds of self-sacrifice
and devotion"
In the corner stone of the memorial
tribute paid by Abraham Lincoln to
the services of the sister nurses,
These records show that seven diff
ferent orders of sisters. most of
which now have converts in this city,
furnished their quota to the war
work, namely: Sisters of Mercy. Sis
tiers of the Holy Cross. Sisters of St.
Joseph. Sisters of Charity OF Naza-
reth. Sisters of Charity of st. Vincent
de Paul. Sisters of the Mother Seton
Order of Charity, and the Ursuline
nuns. They did service in the follow
ing states: Ohio. Illinois, Indiana,
New York. Pennsylvania, Mississippi.
Tennessee, Virginia. Missouri. Mary
land, West Virginia. North Carolina.
South Carolina, Kentucky. Georgia.
Alabama, Louisiana. Texas and the
District of Columbia. They went from
one battlefield to another in ambu-
lances and old wagons.
The names of the nearly 400 war
sisters who performed this noble work
have been collected, and will be en-
crossed on parchment and preserved.

The fine arts commission has ap-
memorial to be erected at Connecticut
avenue and NJ street to the first war
nurses whose tender care in camps,
on the field in hospitals and on float
ing hospitals is gratefully remem-
bered by the veterans of the civil war.
This monument to the several or
derS of sisters who came with love
and sympathy to care for the wound
ed and diseased will give Washington
the distinction of being the first city
in the world to thus raise on public
ground a testimonial to their iabCrs.
The site has been authorized by Con-
gress. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the
a. O. H. has already appropriated a
fund of $4,000 for erection of an all
marble memorial. and plans for the
unwilling are to be decided upon at a
convention in San Francisco next
week.
Design by Jerome Connor.
Jerome Conner, who has created
several statutes already occupying
places in the public parks and who
designed the Robert Emmett statue in
the National Museum, was commits
stoned by the ladies of the A. o. II. to
prepare design for the sisters me-
mortal. He has devoted more than
a year to this work. His design has
been accepted by the fine arts COM
mission, but it is probable that when
completed the monument will be made
entirely of a frieZe depicting the nuns
who served as nurses and emitting
the allegorical figures on either sioe
as in the original design. The fine
arts commission has favored this
treatment.
II is intended that the memorial
shall rise from marble plaza on the
parkway at Rhode Island avenue and
NJ street, facing Connecticut avenue.
This will place it in front of st. Mat
thew's Church. adjoining the home of
Chief Justice White.
The plans are that this shall be I'M
yelled next year. making it the first
of the war memorials to be erected.
In treatment of the figures it was
the purpose of Sculptor Conner to pre-
serve the simplicity and dignity of

which were not merited. ! can assure
you my government is doing its best
