TTEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA, SUNDAY, APRIL 20. 1910. 7 CL Atlanta Urged to Aid National Maine Memorial Spanish War Veterans Active in a Campaign Nation Wide SAYS THAT MARY’S Original Fund of $143,000 Is Not Sufficient to Complete Monu ment to Heroes, Because Com mission Has Added $40,000 Gates to the Plan. The National Maine monument as it will appear when completed and in position at the entrance to Central Park, New York, and some of the sculpture surrounding the pylon. At the top, to the right, is shown the carved figures of “Courage,” “Peace” and Fortitude.” Each is almost twice the size of a human figure and constitutes the ante-bellum group. Below is a figure representing “Atlantic Ocean.” It is one of the largest single pieces of carved marble in the world. A CALL has come to Atlanta, In common with cities and citi zens everywhere, for help in raising: the money necessary to pay for the completion of the National Maine Monument. The monument, a memorial to the soldiers and sailors who died for their country in the Spanish-American war, will be dedi cated May 30. It stands at the Southwest en trance of Central Park, New York, at Broadway and Fifty-ninth Street, a magnificent gateway, destined t commemorate for all time the cour age of»the men who lost their lives in the last war of the United States. When it is dedicated, prominent dig nitaries of the United States, includ ing probably President Wilson and members of his Cabinet, will be pres ent, and Federal troops and sailors, national guard organizations, and Spanish war veterans. Tlie monument, one of national sig nificance, has been built by subscrip tions from every quarter of the coun try. The original fund with interest to date amounts to $143,000, a sum that would have been sufficient to complete the monument as originally planned and contracted for, but for the specification by the Municipal Art Commission, under whose direction V William Randolph Hearst Has Agreed to Give One Dollar for Every Additional Dollar Which Is Raised, So Half of Neces sary Amount Is Assured. jutant Samuel P.

The addi tions entailed a cost of about $40,090, the sum which it. is desired to raise. $20,000 Is Thus Assured. William Randolph Hearst, a mem ber of the National Maine Monument committee, has signified his willing ness to contribute a dollar for every dollar otherwise raised by the com mittee, thus assuring $20,000, one-half the required sum. The appeal whi«?h has come to Atlanta is for help to ward payment of the $20,000 balance. The appeal is made mare directly to members of the organization of United Spanish War Veterans, whose past commander, Maurice Simmons, writes. “As this monument commemorates the conflict in which you and I were actors, it is in the fullest measure our peculiar possession. We should, therefore, lead all patriotic and vet eran societies in the work of gath ering subscriptions.” Not to Spanish War Veterans is the appeal restricted, however. Vic tor A. Watson, of New York, secre tary of the committee, voices the call for help, saying: "The Maine Monument committee appeals do patriotic citizens, includ ing the Spanish War Veterans, to meet this expenditure.” Department commanders and edmp $3.50 RECIPE FREE FOR WEAK MEN x Send Name and Address Today-— } You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous.

Just drop nu Dr. A. E. Robinson ng, Detroit. Mich.. commanders of the Spanish War Vet erans are being asked to interest their men in the proposition of giving each 50 cents, and to invite veterans of tlie war not in the organization to contribute. The work incident to the construc tion of the monument was originally in the hands of a committee consist ing of General James Grant Wilson, George J. Gould, as treasurer, .t. Ed ward Simmons, John W. Keller, and William Randolph Hearst. To-day the committee consists of General Wilson. Mr. Keller and Mr. Hearst. The prize competition for the work was won by Attillio Piccirilli, sculp tor, and H. Van Buren Magonigle, architect. \ The monument was originally de signed for erection in Longacre Square consisted of the pylon and the marble and bronze groups alone, there being no occasion for the great gates that now figure In the entrance to Central Park, and which were ad ded by the direction of the Municipal Art Commission. As details were from time to time taken up with the city authorities, and various locations were decided upon, other than the Longacre sLe. the commission made suggestions. As soon as the magnificent Central Park location was taken up, the commis sion suggested that, to give the mon ument the dignified surroundings that its historic associations demanded, something would have to be done to adjust existing conditions in the neighborhood. It was decided that a new entrance to Central Park was necessary. The original fund, which was raised through the Hearst newspapers, would have been enough to complete the work. But by the direction of the commission the gates were added. These gates, costing almost $30,000, and other costs and changes in the monument proper, brought about by the commission, will bring the total if the monument and dedication $40,000 above the fund and its inter est. To Be a Beauty Spot. Park Commissioner Stover will plant, according to the plans out lined, trees to commemorate the American ships in the Spanish-Amer ican war, and the battleships in the United States navy to-day. He will with shrubs and plants, make this the beauty spot of the park. The work of actual construction of the monument was begun March 16. 1911. Years before this, however, the modelling and preliminary work had gone on in the Piccirilli studio. As evolved, the monument is one of tl most striking and inspiring in t United States. . The principal motif is a pylon. central structure, 18 by 21 feet, and 40 feet high, with panels on Its four faces. It is flanked by two great fig ures, representing the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, suggestive of the national scope of the memorial. The figure typifying the Atlantic Ocean is that of a young man in the full ness of his strength; the Pacific >s typified by a young man slumbering. The figures standing would be over fourteen feet high. At the foot of the shaft is a group of sculpture ante-bellum in idea— Courage awaiting the flight of Peace, while Fortitude supports the feeble. These figures are nearly twice actual life size. Above the group is the in scription : ‘‘To the valiant seamen who per ished in the Maine—by Fate un warned, in death unafraid.” New Era Suggested. On the lower part of the pedestal supporting this group is a conven tional boat prow on which kneels the figure of a boy holding wreaths of olive and laurel, suggesting the new era inaugurated in Cuba through the Spanish-American War. A low fountain basfn extends to ward the Circle from this side of the monument approached by three broad steps. The corresponding group on the side facing the park is post-bel lum in motif—Justice, having entrust ed her sword to tlie Genius of War to execute her mandates, receives if again at his hands, while History records its deeds. The inscription over this group reads: ‘‘To the freemen \vh< ed in the war with Spain that others might be free.” The tall shaft is crowned by a group representing Columbia Trium phant, drawn in a sea car by three plunging horses. The group is In bronze, cast from guns recovered from the sunken Maine, and is heav ily gilded. The group is 17 feet high, making the monument 57 feet in height. All the sculpture will be of Knox ville marble. In panels on the lateial faces of the shaft will be inscribed the names of those to whom the mon ument is dedicated. At either side of the pylon and sep arated from it by two park roads are two entrances formed by four garden houses of the type familiar in the great parks abroad. Each pair of houses constitutes a gateway. There will be one of these gates on each side of the footpaths and partially con nected by a low wall of the height of the preesnt park wall, and with seats facing the circle. This is the memorial that the na tion has been asked to build, asked with generous response already. The accumulation of the entire amount is desired before the dedication ceremo ny next month, and leaders in the movement venture in their letters the declaration that the money will be all available. Simmons Is Chairman. Maurice Simmons, past command er of the veterans, has been appointed chairman of the committee inviting veterans of the Spanish-American war to contribute. In a letter sent to all camps of the organization he directs: "Make all subscriptions by check <»r postal money order payable Comrade Ernest W. Larkin, secre tary-treasurer of tlie U. S. W. V'. Maine Monument Committee, 238 William Street, New York City.” He asks that the subscriptions from each camp be sent together.

Ap peals for aid have been issued in many States. Sackett Makes Appeal. JACKSONVILLE, April 19.—Gen- i ral John W.

ROBINSON, “Commander.” Carolina in Campaign. ASHEVILLE, N. April 19.— John A. Guffey, department com mander of North Carolina, joins the campaign with this: “To All Spanish War Veterans and other Patriots: “I hereby appeal to you to sub scribe as much as 50 cents each to- j ? ward raising $40,000 necessary for the j) completion of the monument now i being erected in Central Park in j honor of the Spanish War dead, in ; j irder that the sum subscribed may be i ) Bay State Man Declares Original Poem Did Not Mention Mary at All. FITCHBURG, MASS., April 19.— Apparently tho Mary’s little lamb story recently printed, has stirred up quite a stew, without the aid of the carrots, potatoes, green peas, onions and other vegetables supposed to be necessary to complete this popular New England dish. In the printed story, Mrs. L. W. Owens, of Pueblo, Col., related how she came all the way from the West to Sterling, where she investigated the history of Mary Sawyer, who was re puted to be the owner of the original “Mary’s Little Lamb.” Mrs. Owens told a circumstantial story of the lamb which lias become famous in song and story and even had a bit of wool, said to have been taken from tho lamb’s fleece. Tragedy Grows Deeper. Mary Sawyer was eight years old. j according to Mrs. Owens, when she came into the ownership of the lamb, which was born about March 1, 1814 ; John Roulstone, a Harvard graduate, | was credited writing the poem that j made Mary’s lamb famous. The lamb met a tragic deatn, the following No vember, according to Mr*. Owens' j story. A deeper tragedy, however, than the demise of tho Sterling lamb has just come to light. It Is a communi- I cation from David A. Curtis, of Lan caster. Mr. Curtis declares that the girl who owned the lamb that inspir ed the poem, was not named Mary at all, but Lucy. Here is what he has to say: It appears that Mr. Richard Kimball Powers, of Lancaster, Mass., is said to have been a scholar on Redstone Hills, in .Sterling, ninety-six years ago, and claims to rem 'mber the incident on which was founded the touch ing little poem which is known to the present generation as “Mary’s Littlo Lamb.” And he says Mary ftawyer was a Sterl ing girl, who owned the lamb. Now, it 1j quite conceivable that the old gentleman's memory of the incident has been warped a little in the time that has since elapsed, but concerning one detail he is clearly 1n error. The poem sixty year* ago was already a classic, but the girl's name was not Mary at rhat time. In other words. Mary Sawyer may have had a little lamb, bui the lamb of the poem belonged to a girl named Lucy. For proof of this, one has only to search among second-hand book stores till he finds a copy of "The New England , Primer” and read the original poem. The “New England Primer” was, in the first half of the last century, a standard work, rank ing with the “Shorter Catechism” in the estimation of New Eng land people as a text book for the education >\ extreme young. Among its pleasing instructive content this poem was conspicu- and so on through the famlll&r lines, varying in only one particu lar fi orr. tho on which this gen oration has been taught to repeat Mary’s name did not appear in It How Mary came to replace Lucy I do not pretend to say, but It seems e vident enough that Mary Sawyer was. so far as the Iamb ir concerned, a rank lmpos ter, and Mr. Powers’ recollection of her, if there was such a pet son, is valuless as literary evi dence.'

My talk to-day is not of that character. To-day I am speaking almost en tirely to my women country readers. And the burden of my remarks is. Beware of the city’s fascination. Think at least twice before you bum your bridges and allow yourselves to be swallowed up by the world’s great- st city's ever-open maw. Every year, every day the siren 5<ong of the big town makes allur ing music in the ears of country- bred lasses; every day and every hour there are thrills and ecstasies in you*^ *rreAst«, and pangs and misgiv ings in older mother-arts. this: 14 Lu And tun* rtf the witi go selves the summons to other, perhaps greater, things. That is not my bus iness. But there is another side to the question—a terrible serious side. Now I feel sure that the city is not worse or better than the country I mean that there are just as many good and bad people here as else where. But the mere fact of thou sands of thousands being packed closely together means greater activ ity and organization, both for good and evil. So, it is that, apart from the nat ural fascination, the siren song has all the power of an orchestra com pared to that of a single voice. Every day some country girl or another awakens to feel the spirit ot adventure moving within her. She realizes inwardly—or more probably through an advertisement, or some so-called friend—that the • ity may have great things to offer her so n t flurry of excitement she leaves her town or village and rushes inn m as waitress, or in a shop of one sort or another, or in some mysterious unexplained business. There is no deep consideration giv en, and no great care taken, is going to “make her fortun is all. There is no thought dire and dreadful possibility heart-breaks and She that f the the ul-destructions, that are common to the everyday life of the city. For the more Splendid the offer of employment may appear, the more probable it is that the offer is bogus, the design miserably bad, and the re sult disastrous. More than this, I am not permit ted to say. But I want you to lend me both your ears and listen very attentively, I do not say, do not go to work in the city. I do not say that misery must needs be your lot. But I do sav that unless you think twice, and erences. to satisfy yourself fully and thoroughly that the offer of employ ment is altogether genuine. And surely it is easy for you to see that the more difficulty, you have in ob taining the necessary information, the more suspicious you should he ot those who withhold it from you. Well! And if it is all so simple, do your “thinking twice” before you decide, I have not mentioned the fact that the city has little of real advantage to offer the country girl. I have not dwelt upon the com mop unhappiness gained through entirely new and un-* congenial surroundings, nor have I spoken of the fact that the city with all its millions, may be the lone liest and most desolate place in the world. My whole prayer to you is, Think at least twice before you take the Irrevocable leap Into the maelstrom Insist On Bottled-in-Bond Be particular in your selection—avoid blends and compounds — and remember there is only one way you can be SURE of getting absolutely pure, straight whis key and that is to insist on BOTTLED- IN-BOND.
