N EVENT of interest throughout
the entire South will be the un
veiling and formal dedication in
' October of a magnificent memorial
on Shiloh’s sacred soil, tribute to
the Confederacy of patriotic South
ern womanhood. The dedication
v v ceremonies will embody some of the
most impressive' features that an occurrence of
similar character has ever called forth in the
South. Brilliant orators from several states will
participate in the exercises and one of the largest
gatherings ever attending the dedication of a
Southern memorial is expected to be present on
the occasion.
From every part - of the country, north, south,
east and west, will come the pilgrims to this sa
cred shrine of valor to pay homage to the memory
of the men in gray. There is scarce a community
in the South that did not lose men in the famous
battle.
The monument will cost $50,000. The great
organization known as the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, the largest association of women
in the world, it is said, with the exception of the
W. C. T. U., is responsible for its erection. The
completion of the enterprise, for which the
Daughters have worked untiringly for many years,
marks the realization of one of their most cher
ished dreams.
The Shiloh memorial will have the distinction
of being the only one ever erected to the Confed
eracy as a whole. Every Southern state con
tributed liberally to the enterprise, although Ten
nessee gave the largest amount, for not only will
the beautiful monolith rise upon her soil, but she
lost more men in the famous battle than did ady
other state.
The well-known sculptor, Frederick C. Hib
bard of Chicago is responsible for the exquisite
work and design of the Shiloh memorial, and his
attractive atelier in the Northern city presents a
busy scene at the present time, for the artist has
promised the Daughters that by the time the
Great White Spirit takes up the peace pipe to
breathe Indian summer’s smoke across the purple
hilltops of Tennessee the marbles will be packed
and ready for shipment.
The monument design, acknowledged as one of
the most striking ever conceived by this artist,
comprises three groups upon a base of artistic
proportions. It is fashioned of Mt. Airy granite
from the famous quarries of North Carolina. The
panel heads are done in alto-relievo. The heroic
figures comprising the central group are nine
feet high and represent Victory, defeated by
Death. The female figure of Victory is seen re
linquishing a laurel wreath ip one of the two
cowled figures of the Grim Reaper. Confederate
soldiers, a private, an officer, artilleryman and in
fantryman, make up the end and lesser groups.
The story of the beginning of the movement to
erect the Shiloh monument Is interesting and in
spiring.
It was with a little group of Hardin county
women, in Tennessee, that the idea originated.
The leading spirit of the enterprise was Mrs. Cor
nelia Broyles Irwin, wife of Capt. James W. Irwin
of Savannah, who commanded a company of ,Har-

din county boys at the battle of Shiloh. It was
largely due to Mrs. Irwin’s enthusiasm that the
movement was successfully launched. The first
published article regarding the project of build
ing a monument on Shiloh battlefield to the sol
diers of the Southern army was written by 'this
lady and appeared in the Confederate Veteran in
1902. The late Sumner A. Cunningham, editor
of the Veteran, was one of the most interested
workers for the enterprise and wrote numberless
articles dealing with the subject. The first con
tributor to the Shiloh monument fund was Mr.
Jacobus S. Jones of Washington, D. C.
At a national meeting of the U. D. C. held at
Gulfport, Miss., in 1906, a Shiloh monument direc
tor for each Southern state was appointed, and
Mrs. A. B. White of Paris, Tenn., was made di
rector general of the entire work. This office
Mrs. White has held ever since. The successful
culmination of the work Is largely due to her
enthusiasm and fine management.
A sister work of the Shiloh memorial was the
erection by the U. D. C. of the beautiful Con
federate monument In Arlington cemetery a few
years ago. The cost of both memorials was the
same, $50,000. The unveiling of the Arlington
monument took thousands of Interested specta
tors to ts>e national cemetery from all parts of the
country. The address of President Taft, on this
occasion, attracted the attention of the whole
country for its notably generous spirit and sym
pathetic understanding of the attitude of the
Southern people toward their beloved dead who
fell In the storm of the sixties.
Shiloh Military park, which takes in about ten
acres of the battlefield, lies just off Pittsburg
Landing on the Tennessee river and only a few
miles from Corinth, Miss. The cemetery con
tains more than a hundred handsome monuments
erected by Northern states to the Federal dead.
The states of Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa, Pennsyl
vania and Indiana have spent more than $20,000
on monuments and markers. Well-kept gravel
walks wind in and out among the glistening
marbles. The roads stretching to Corinth are
the same over which the Confederates traveled
after the battle of the second day when the
forces were outnumbered by those of Buell and
Grunt.
Points of particular Interest in Shiloh National
Military park are the portion known as the
“Hornet’s Nest,” where the conflict waged
fiercest; the famous “Bloody Pond,” whose wa
ters were crimson with the blood of the Con
federates ; the noted spring which quenched the
thirst of the wounded; the site of the little log
meeting house, whose sides were spattered with
blood and which gave its name to the battle that
raged around it. And then there are the many
beautiful monuments erected by the government.

Toot. Only three monuments in the entire park
are to Southerners: One to the memory of the
Second Tennessee (Bate’s) regiment, and monu
ments built by the U. D. C. of Arkansas and Ala
bama. The government erected a monument at
the spot where Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston died
as a marker for a historic spot. Nearby is the
oak tree under which the great leader received
his death wound. The inscription on the monu
ment reads:
GEN, ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON.
COMMANDING THE CONFEDERATE ARMY,
DIED HERE AT 2:30 O’CLOCK P. M„
APRIL 6, 1862.
Mocking birds and thrushes sing today over the
green acres that once presented a scene of devas
tation and death. It is difficult to realize that
here on this stretch of meadowland, where nod
the goldenrod and wild hyacinth, once was piled
high with the bodies of the dead. However, in
the minds of many who attend the unveiling of
the memorial to the heroes In gray, the white
haired survivors of that conflict, only too vividly
will the picture come back. But then, "to live In
hearts we leave behind is not to die.”
Rare Old Stuff From South
America
A rare collection of archeological objects from
the department of lea, Peru, was recently pur
chased by Mr. A. J. Jullliartl and presented to the
American museum. This collection represents the
results of numerous expeditions during the last
nine years by Mr. Manuel Montero to the desert
regions to the south and west of lea. These visits
to the prehistoric burial grounds were his vaca
tions, and every object in the collection was exca
vated by him. The most notable objects are nine
large shawllike garments covered with conven
tional figures in embroidery. The beautiful color
schemes seen in these textiles make them a joy
to the artist, and they will doubtless be copied eag
erly by the numerous art students who make con
stant use of the American museum collections.
Besides these shawllike garments there are many
smaller pieces of cloth which are highly orna
mented.
The metal work of these ancient people is rep
resented by objects in silver and copper. There
are several pairs of large silver gar plugs, orna
mented with embossed figures of birds, silver
tweezers also ornamented with raised bird figures,
and several shawl pins with finely executed figures
of birds and pumas on the upper ends. The other ob
jects in the collection consist principally of the
women's workbaskets, with spindles and various
colored threads, a loom with cloth In process of
weaving, feather ornamehts, slings, musical Instru
ments and a few choice pieces of pottery.

Critic Shies.
Theodore Dreiser, the novelist, was
talking about the public’s library
taste.
“The public,” he said, “likes trash.
Put good (Stuff before it and it shies
like the critic at the ‘Players.’
“A poet smiled affectionately on this
critic, thrust a ten-cent cigar in his
hand and said:
“ ‘Let me show you the proofs of my
new volume of poems.’
“ ‘No, no,’ said the critic, rising has

I don’t need proofs. Your word is suf

the two inches of beer that still re
