the long cherished dream of friends of Henry Ward Beecher re garding a suitable memorial to the great Brooklyn preacher began to take tangible foTin It Is over twenty years since Ir Becchers death In the winter of 1003 a mass meeting was held in the old Brooklyn Academy of Music since burned at which the ideas of the pro moters of tho memorial were sub mitted to the public Addresses were made by ex President Grover Cleve land Mayor Seth Low and other noted men friends or admirers of the man who did so much in the course of his remarkable career for the cause of human liberty and liberal ideas This meeting gave the project a good start About one half of the desired sum of 9200000 lias since been raised and some features of the proposed me morial have already been transferred from the realm of fancy to that of fact Among the latter are the me morial windows depicting scenes in the history of the Puritans which were re cently unveiled in Plymouth church the scene of most of Mr Beechers ministry The memorial project has several phases It is proposed to erect on a plot adjoining Plymouth church a fine parish building to bo a center of work for the large population in the vicinity of the church It will contain library gymnasium club and society rooms and a large auditorium for public meetings and lectures One of its rooms will be a museum for souvenirs and relics connected with the history of Mr Beecher and bis family A crypt will HEXKY WARD BEECIIEK AND PLYMOUTH CHUKCH be built beneath it with a door open ing into the auditorium of the church and here will be placed the remains of Mr Beecher and his wife which now repose in Greenwood cemetery Four city lots across the street from the church will be converted into a park and in the center of it will be a mouu lncit to Mr Beecher There is already a statue of him in Brooklyn borough It occupies a conspicuous position in the plaza in front of the borough hall is the work of the noted sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward and was erected in 1S91 But it is felt that the imme diate scene of his labors should also possess a monument containing his features and form in bronze Several years ago when the public authorities proposed to take two lots adjoining Plymouth church on the west for a public school the Rev Dr Newell Dwight Hillis the present pas tor of the church wrote In protest against the contemplated action and siid When a great man has lived in a city for forty years his dust belongs to his city and his tomb to our children and our childrens children The ideal thing Is to use the two lots as a burial place for Mr Beecher with the me morial room above with his portraits his manuscripts his old pulpit and chairs his writing desk the manu script of Mrs Stowes Uncle Toms rabin Lyman Beechers old pulpit from which he preached the sermon on Dueling after the death of Hamilton and the five sermons on Independ ence with everything related to the n hi A New Parish Building o Park and a Second Statue Planned Beechers Old Pulpit Chair career of Henry Ward Beecher in Brooklyn At the time Dr Ilillis wrote these words the memorial project had not taken definite form but the authorities decided not to acquire the land for the purpose proposed and fortunately it was thus left for use as the site of the memorial building To carry out all the features of the plan will re quire some little time Meanwhile the objects associated with Mr Beechers life work are being collected with the view of placing them in the museum V V rM13 -at r t -v ssffis Vftv 7Mf vxjm - V s g i W m 1 JSrisJs WMmm s

this work is General Horatio C King one of Brooklyns first citizens a lifelong friend of Mr Beecher and noted as civil war vet eran lawyer orator musical compos er writer lecturer and after dinner speaker He has in his own home nu merous articles once owned by Mr Beecher or in some way associated with his career When the stained glass windows illustrating the history of the Puritans and their influence up on American institutions were dedi cated In the old church recently those who attended the service noted on the platform a chair which to many had a familiar guise It was the old chair which the friend of the slave and the exponent of freedom of thought in re ligious matters occupied in the pulpit for twenty years previous to 1SG9 It was in the latter year that the present pulpit and pulpit furniture were placed in the church They were made out of a tree brought from the Mount of Olives in Palestine by Moses Beach once owner of the New York Sun Twenty years after Its removal from the pulpit a search for the old chair once so familiar to attendants at Plymouth was instituted by Stephen M Griswold and it was found In the cellar covered with dust and almost crushed beneath the weight of several old and discarded pews It was re habilitated and placed temporarily in the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and Sci ences When the memorial room is built it will be placed in it with the old pulpit desk behind which Mr Beecher stood on Sundays during the score of years from 1S49 to 1SG9 which formed so eventful a period both in his career and in the history of the nation PAUL MILY0UK0V Leader of Russias Constitutional Democrats and His American Visit Professor Paul Milyoukov who came to the United States in the interest of the liberal movement in Russia is the leader of the Constitutional Democrats in the douma Russias new parlia ment By many he is regarded as the man entitled to chief credit for the fact that Russia has today a body which is entitled to some voice at least in the government of the empire He is not a revolutionist and supports the throne but advocates a limited mon archy like that of England He is the I a i Wi - PAUL MILYOUKOV editor of the Retch the chief organ of his party and has been in prison three times because of his liberal views He was formerly professor of history in the University of Moscow but was re moved because of the liberal Ideas he taught the students and was banished to Bulgaria where he became a pro fessor In the University of Sofia Chrnged His Taste The Empress Eugenie whom Nupo Ieon III chose to shar bis throne had a ready wit which although it never veiled a sneer often confused those ou whom it was directed The late Dr T W Evans tells in his reminiscences the story of a distinguished senator who on being asked what he thought of the speech in which Napoleon had declared his marriage intention to the deputies replied A fine speech excellent But I pre fer the sauce to the fish meaning that Napoleons words were better than his choosing of a bride Some weeks later at a dinner given at the Tuileries this senator was seat ed next to the empress who observ ing that after having been helped to the turbot he declined the sauce said to him smiling roguishly Monsieur I thought it was the sauce you liked and not the fish With rare presence of mind the sena tor hesitated but a moment A mistake madam he said for which I am now trying to make amends The Corner Days Some aged country folk like to take note of what they call the corner days the 20th of March and the 20th of September when the sun crosses the line and the days and nights are of equal length and the 20th of June the longest day of the year and the 20th of December the shortest After the 20th of June they say When the days grow shorter the weather grows hot ter and after Dec 20 As the days begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen Levi Beebe a noted old weather prophet who used to watch the weath er from his eyrie on Beartown moun tain southern Berkshire Mass made prophecies which were greatly prized He made his prognostications from a study of the winds the clear cloudy and stormy days for ten days each side of the corner days and multiplied them by 3 to tell the weather for each suc ceeding quarter and he made some marvelous truesses New York Press Time and the Man Some one may suggest that if Crom well and Napoleon Bonaparte and Bis marck and George Washington and Abraham Lincoln had not appeared to do the- work they did others would have arisen equally capable of doing it though perhaps in a different way To this suggestion there are two answers One is that it Is pure conjecture The other answer Is that history shows us many occasions when the great man was needed and when the need of him was acutely felt and yet when he did not appear The greatness of some men is largely due to favoring condi tions Other men perhaps more bril liant achieve less than their powers seemed to promise because they were not quite in key with their own age Perhaps they were ahead of it James Bryce In Pall Mall Gazette Great Events From Little Causes While staying at the court of Fred erick II
