UNIQUE STATUE OF LINCOLN
ERECTED BY FORMER SLAVES.
(By A. N P.)


Washington. ID. O., June 1.--There
| is a statue of Abraham Lincoln here
that is seldom seen by visitors. This
is due to the fact that 1t b located
in Lincoln Park about one mile due
east of the Capitol. which is away
from the present principal residential
and business section of the national
capitol. When this statue was first
erected. however, that particular sec
ton of the city was as much FREE
ouented as any other.
The interesting feature Of this sta
tue is the fact that its erection was
suggested by former slave. and its
entire cost was contributed by former
slaves.
On the base of the statue may be
seen the following explanatory bronze
tablet;
Freedoms Memorial.
''In grateful memory of Abraham
Lincoln this monument was erected
by the Western Sanitary Commission
of st. Louis. Missouri. with funds con-
tributed soley by emancipated citizens
of the United States declared free by
his proclamation. January LIST, A. ID.
1868. The first contribution OF five
dollars was made by Charlotte Scott.
a freed woman Of Virginia, being her
first earning in freedom and conse-
Grated by her suggestion and request
on the day she heard Of President
Lincoln's death to build imminent to
his memory"
