ADMIRAL SIGSBEE PRAISES
BUILDERS OF MONUMENT
I break my usual reserve and refer here, voluntarily, to
my connection of fact and sentiment with the Maine in order
that I may venture to attach to myself for this moment a suf
ficiently representative character regarding the Maine and her
dead to offer my heartiest appreciation and my sincere con
gratulations to Mr. William Randolph Hearst, to General
James Grant Wilson and his committee, to the subscribers to
the fund, to the sculptor and architect, and to all others
whose patriotic efforts have contributed to the erection of this
noble and beautiful monument which we know accords with
the hallowed sentiment of a whole people.—ADMIRAL
SIGSBEE.
Scott’s Bitter Disappointment-—He Arrives at the
Pole Only To Find Capt. Amundsen’s Tent and Flag
f PHE upper photograph shows Captain Scott peering into the tent erected by Captain Amundsen at the South Pole. The tent
I is in excellent condition, and one which would furnish adequate protection against Antarctic weather. Standing about it,
from left to right, are Captain Oates, Petty Officer Evans, Captain Scott and Dr. Wilson. This is a most remarkable pohtograph,
showing, as it does, the arrival of the Scott party at the South Pole, and at the same time the evidence of the triumph of Captain
Amundsen. Flying above the tent is to be seen the Norwegian flag which Amundsen left flying as evidence of his victory.
In the lower photograph Captain Scott and his companions are shown starting their final dash over the ice and snow to
the South Pole. Hauling the heavy sledges themselves, they covered the distance of more than 550 miles on skis. Some idea of the
difficulties of their travel may be obtained by a glance at the weighted sledges shown in the picture.

Admiral Thanks Hearat.
I break my usual reserve and
refer here, voluntarily, to my con
nection of fact and sentiment with
the Maine in order that 1 may
venture to attach to myself for
this moment a sufficiently repre
sentative character regarding the
Maine and her dead to offer my
heartfelt appreciation and my
sincere congratulations to Mr.
William Randolph Hearst. to Gen
eral James Grant Wilson, and his
committee, to the subscribers to
the fund, to the sculptor and
architect, and to all others whose
patriotic efforts have contributed
to the erection of this noble and
beautiful monument which we
know accords with the hallowed
sentiment of a whole people.
Governor Sulzer also paid a tribute
to Mr. Hoairst He said:
Fellow citizens: That monu
ment at the entrance of one of
the grandest parks in the world
will for years embellish our great
city of New York. For decades
it will teach the country the pa
triotic duty of American citizens.
It will he a lesson to the people
of our land that no man who tiles
In the service o ' his country ever
dies in vain.
Sulzer Lauds Committee.
All honor to the men whose
foresight and whose patriotism
have made that monument possi
ble. All honor to William Ran
dolph Hearst. to the members of
the committee, to the patriotic
citizens who contributed to rear
that monument.
That monument will be an in
spiration to generations yet till-
born, because it typifies a great
ideu, because It stands for a great
inspiration.
Rear Admiral Badger, in command
of the visiting fleet of warships, said:
The ceremony was one of the
most remarkable I have witnessed
In all the years 1 have been in the
Navy. Particularly impressive
was the unveiling, conducted by
the young son of Mr. Hearst.
The arrangements in every de
tail were perfect. In all it was
one of the most,successful affairs
of the kind I have ever seen, and
there was nothing that was left
undone It was certainly a won
derful clay; one that will long be
remembered by the American
people, and particularly by those
who took part in the ceremony.
Maine Governor Joins Praise.
Joining with Governor Sulzer and
Mr. Simmons. Governor W. T. Haines,
of Maine, thus gave bis views of th<*
dedication
Magnificent would perhaps be a
proper term to apply to the whole
celebration. The monument sur
prised me. for 1 had no idea of its
grandeur until I saw it.
Mr. Hearst and the Hearst
newspapers and his associates on
the committee who promoted the
monument deserve the praise of
the entire nation foi «uch n splen
did tribute to those who gave up
their lives in the service of their
country.
The day for the dedication was
perfect, and America can well be
proud of the sailors and marines
who marched in perfect alignment
past the stand. 1 am glad that
the battleship had been named the
Maine, for it gave me the oppor
tunity to witness the scene on the
day this city paid tribute to its
dead. I never wish to see a more
inspiring sight.
Ceremonies Magnificent.

Maine Monument Fund
Raised By Public With
Aid of Hearst Papers
NEW YORK, May 31—The fund
with which the National Maine mon
ument was built whs raised by Wil
iam Randolph Hearrt’s newspapers.
The idea of the monument to be built
through small contributions, nation
wide in their scope, was his. and to
carry out this idea his personal con
tributions toward the monument itself,
outside of numerous other expenses,
w ill total $21,000.
The original sum raided was $104.-
Promincnt Men Who Subscribed.
Among the then prominent persons
who contributed toward that sum
were:
W. R. Hearst $1,000
Col. Jacob Ruppert. Jr 1,000
George J. Gould . . • 600
Oliver H. P. Belmont 500

John R. McLean 100
Theodore B. Starr 200
Louis Stern . . . 1C0
Andrew Friedman 100
John McQuade 100
Washington E. Connor 100
In the main the contributions wer*
public entertainments. In addition to
his personal check. Mr. Hearst con
tributed toward the original fund
about $16,000, which is not conrtd-
ered as a part of the fund, because it
covers the cost of executive manage
ment in connection with the raising
of the fund and handling of it during
a number of years. This is, of course,
in addition to his direct contributions
of $21,000 toward the actual cost of
the monument
Sum Raised to $143,000.
The fund has always been banked
in the name of the National Maine
Monument Committee, and trust fund
interest has been accumulating until
the original fund has expanded to
$143,000. This amount would have
been sufficient to carry out the build
ing of the monument as originally j
planned. However, when the present j
site was settled upon, the municipal
art commission requested that the j
beautiful entrance gates be added,
and this additional burden was cheer
fully assumed. ■
In addition to this $30,000 there
were a number of other incidentals |
that came up and had to be met, and ;
with the cost of the impressive dedi
cation to be met it w as found that ;
the actual cost of the monument
would be about $183,000. the dedicu- ,

nment committee could raise in every |
other way. Ho also offered and gave

WASHINGTON, May 31.—“The
Three Kates Club" is the most ex
clusive social organization in Wasn-
ington. Its three members are Misses
Katherine Elkins, Katherine Jennings
and Katherine Britton. The strictest
rule of this club is that no member
shall marry except for love.
Miss Jennings and Miss Elkins have
a common tie in the fact that their
immense inheritances make them
the target for fortune hunters. Miss
Katherine Britton comes into i
charmed circle, perhaps, because of
the devotion she is receiving from

damages filed by Mrs. Frelda Marien-
thal. She will produce a bundle of
Mizzling love letters which will be used

The “Glory Kiss” far exceed* the
saccharine sweetness of the famous
“Nethersole Kiss.”
Through correspondence. which
contained “expressions of love and
infatuation.” Mrs. Marlenthal alleges
her husband lost his love for her
with the result that on July 14, 1912,
a separation resulted.
Wifs Has Letters.
The letters, which will figure prom
inently in the case, Mrs. Marienthal
has In her possession, and she says
all were w ritten by Mrs. Weidllch, who
addressed Marienthal as “My Darling
Teddy,” “My Loved One” and "My
Own Sweet Darling Teddy.”
A letter dated “Thanksgiving Day,
November 26. 1908,” a nine-page effu
sion. says:
"Say, Teddy dear, may I ask you
a favor? Now listen, darling, if you
don’t wish to do the same, why my
love. It will be just alright. Do you
he.ar? If you cab get me some silk
hose in Gotham I think you can get
them more reasonably there than I
out here. You get them, darling, and
send me the bill and I will pay you
whatever they cost.
"Now, darling, if you don’t feel
like it, it is all the same. I want
six pairs, blue, pink, yellow, white,
green and black. Now, dearie, don’t
send them unless you send the bill,
because I want to pay for them my
self. And, sweetheart, if you are
ashamed to ask for them, why it
will be alright. I want sizes ten
or ten and a half, as they shrink
somewhat.
Always Loves Glory.
"Say, darling. I just called up
and, yes, there is a nice, big fat
letter there for me, and there is two
cents due on it. Oh, my love, you
are such a darling boy, always lov
ing me. always thinking of your
Glory, who loves you better than any
one else. Oh. I love you, Teddy, I
love you. darling, and I am Mick for
you. Tell me you love me, darling,
tell me you love your Glory better
than all the world.
"Now. sweet love, I am going to
go down and get your sweet mes
sage of love. I will devour every
little word; will drink it all in, heart
and soul. And, my darling. I will
kiss the lines over and over as I
know* your dear hand traced them
You are so dear to me. Deeper and
deeper grows the feeling, the love,
the trust I gave you, and you are
certainly my twin soul mate.”
Another part reads: “Oh. Teddv,
Teddy, my darling. How dear you are
to me. Sweet love, do you remember
when I kissed you? Not the Nether
sole, but the ‘Glory K1sm.‘ Do you re
member all those sweet things? I do.”
Would Exchange Husbands.
The wish that they could exchange
husbands is contained In these words
in another letter: “Teddy. God help
us both. I wish mine had your bet
ter half and she had mine.”
The "Glory Kiss" 1m described in one
of the letters as follows:
“Here, sweetheart, Is a kiss; one
that intoxicates the mind, drinks up
the soul and lulls two hearts to sleep,
to dream of love, sweet love, and let
the world be well lost. For we can
well live on and on without any peo
ple, but we cannot live on and on
without love. And that comes into
our lives when leas* expected, and
then it is like a fountain of pure bub
bling water pouring forth all the
time, seeing which little bubble cornea
to the surface first.”
Mrs. Marienthal says that she re
ceived a letter from a young woman
in this city, in which the writer
warned her that she ought to watch
her husband. The writer also stated
that she had written a letter to Mr.
WeidUch, also, warning him to watch
his wife.
