Here , In the city which first placed on Ills brow the laurel crown of achievement , the memory of George Washington , Ilio soldier , the statesmen and Ihe man , was honored today In monumental bronze. The cord which released the flags from the figure of the first ruler of the re public was drawn by Its latest , executive. Surrounding him wcro men In whoso veins runs the blood of those first patriots who battled shoulder to shoulder with Washington and with him made possible the scene en acted today a eeeno conceived and planned liy tlioso very comrades in arms , executed by their sons In peace. The purpose of years , evolved by a handful of warriors to do honor to their chieftain and carried through crosses and adversity by their sons and their sons' sons , was consummated. Hul the consummation was beyond the bright- cat dreams of those first few' war-stained Americans. The union which they formed has ; rown to n mighty organization whose mem bership stretches from ocean to ocean under the name of the Society of the Cincinnati , while the magnificence of the memorial Itself , reared at the gateway of the greatest park and In the most Intensely American city of the land , far surpassed their highest hopes. It was a notable gathering and repre sentative of the country , Including the presi dent , the vice president and the cabinet ofllcerK ; Its defenders in the ofllcers and privates of the army and navy , and He best blood. In tlie direct descendants of the mold- crs and makers of the nation. Major William Wayne , president of the Cincinnati , who formally presented the monument to the city , traces hla lineage straight to Mad Anthony , and William W. Porter , the orator of the day , Is a grandson of David HUtonhouse Porter , twice governor of Pennsylvania , and a great-grandson of General Andrew Porter , who was on Washington's staff In the revolu tion. Thus no historic Interest was wanting to stimulate enthusiasm. HOUSED HY SUNIUSE GUNS. At sunrlso this morning the boom of can nons from the batteries of the United Statcu troops camped In Falruiount park aroused the city to one of the greatest days In Its history. U was not long after that steady streams of people began to flow along every byway leading to the Green street entrance to the park , where the monument stands. In splto of the heavy downpour of last night , the day broke under clexr skies. The deco rations throughout the city were lavish , but of course the greater labor and attention had betm devoted to the hotels which sheltered the Washington dignitaries , lloth the. Hotel Walton , where the president and several members of the cabinet were housed , and the Ijafayctlc , which entertained vice presi dential party , wcro literally' swathed In flags and bunting- . The archways of the vast city hall , a few blocks away , were liberally clothed In trl-color and Chestnut street was a fluttering mas/a of red , white and blue. Stands were crccti.il all along the line of march. The ceremonies proper began at noon , when the. parade moved from Hr/oad and Spruce streets , under command of Major General Cowden , and at the park It passed In review before the president. The actual unveiling ceremony was Im pressively simple. Hishon Whlttaker opened with prayer and Major Wayne , followed with an appropriate address. Then came the un veiling by President McKlnley and the resultant - sultant clamor , augmented by the national salute of twenty-one guns by the artillery and by the foreign and American war vessels In the Delaware. This concluded. President McKlnley spoke briefly. The oration WEB then delivered by Mr. Porter. The formal presentation of the memorial by the society ( o the city was niado by Major William Wayuo to Mayor Warwick with short ad dresses by both and then the mayor trans ferred It to the Fairmount Park commission , which body exercises jurisdiction over the great pleasure ground. President McKlnley and his distinguished companions reviewed the military parade and the crowd , while not looking at the troopa , reviewed the president a.id his party. The night was devoted to various phase ; of celebration , apart from the dinner. The wheelmen's parade , with nearly 20,000 In line , was the principal feature. Illumination ! from the monument , the city hall , the Union league and other points added to the brll. llancy of the Jubilee and closed the day In. f veritable blaze of glery. General Porter presented the monument. NOTMNG NEW TO UK SAID. Mr. Porter began with a recital of thi formation of the Society ( if the Cinclnnat by the officers of the American army , am its motive's and purpose ? , together with UK origin of the plan which culminated Ir today's event. Continuing ho said : Whnt shall be said of this Wnshlngtoi to whose memory wo do honor ? Certain ! ; no new thing. All has Deen well nix often said , A statesman , omniscient , pure whoso mind conceived and whose deed ! created a free , popular government. A soldier selfsaerlllolnpfearless , whost sufferings and courage saved the cause o freedom from defeat. A man , silent , potent , whoso spirit broodei over the new iKirn nation and Influence ! Its development and character. It may he safely asserted that no mim has appeared before or since that luii grouped the principles and possibilities o the republic with more cle-rness than tlia of the llrst president. The monument unveiled today IB , however reared not to Washington , the statesman but rather to Washington , the foldlcr , by at organization formed by hss companion li arms. After touching upon trie- striking point ! of Washington's several campalgno thi speaker drew comparisons between Washing ton and thu heroes of olden times , Alexamle : ami Caesar , and those of feudal times , am continuing , paid a brief : tribute 'to Gran as the antltlcsls of Washington In military genius. Returning to the theme of Washington a : a man , ho said : When years have past and the world ha : agreed that a man Is great , the vordlc must bo accepted. Deeds done under tin eyes of men for their benefit may crenti a transitory enthusiasm.

' A critical study of Washington's career only enhances our estimation of his vast and varied abilities. AH commnnder-ln- chlef of the colonial armies from the be- glnnlnt , ' of the war to the proclamation of the convention which peace : as president of framed the constitution of thu United States , mid us the lirst president of the ITiilteii Stale * under that constitution , Washington has a distinction differing from that of. all other Illustrious Americans. No other name bears or can bear such a relation to the government. Not only by bis military gonlus-hls patience. his sagacity , his courage and his skill was _ our national Independence won , lint he ho.ped in largest measure to duift the chart by which the nation was guided , and he was the first chosen of the .people to put Jn motion the new government. WONDERFUL. FOHESKJIIT. of martial display His was not the boldness play or the charm of captivating oratory , but his calm ami steady JtnK-ment won men'K support and commanded their con- hdcncc by appealing to their best and noblest aspirations. And withal Washing ton was ever so modest that at no t me in his career did his personality seem In the least Intrusive. Ills was above the tempta tion of power. Hf spurned the suggested crown. He would have no honor which the people did not bestow. An Interesting fact- iiid one which I love to recall-Is that the only time Washington formally addressed the constitutional convention di'rlng nil Its sessions over which he presided In this city he appealed for a larger icnrewnta- tlon of the people In the national house of representatives , and his appeal was In stantly heeded. Thus ho was ever keen y watchful of the rights of the people In \\hosc hands was the destiny of our govern ment then and now. .Masterful as were his military campaigns , his civil ad ministration commands iual admiration. His foresight was marvelous ; his conception of the philosophy of government , his In sistence upon the necessity of education , rnoralilv. and an enlightened citizenship to the progress mid permanence of the re public cannot be contemplated even at this period without lllllntr us with astonishment nt the breadth of hla comprehension and the sweep of his vision. TOOK NO NAHUOW VIEW. His was no narrow view of government. The Immediate present was not his sole concern , but our future good his constant theme of study. He blazed the path of lib erty. Ho laid the foundation upon which we have grown from weak nnil scattered colonial governments to a milted republic wl.oso domains and power an well as whose liberty and freedom have become the ad miration of the world. Distance and time have not detracted from the fame and force of his achievements or diminished the grandeur of his life and work. Great deeds do not stop In their growth and those of Washington will expand In In'lnencc In all the centuries to follow. The liuiuent Witrfhliifiton lias made to civ ilization Is rich beyond computation. The obligations under which he 1ms placed man kind arc sacred and commanding. The re- sp-Jlis'blllty ho has left for the American people - plo to preserve and perfect that which he accomplished is exacting nnd solemn. Iot us rejolco In every new evnience that the people realize \yhat they enjoy and cherish with affection the Illustrious hi-roes of revo lutionary story whose valor and sacrifices made us n nation. They live In us and their memory will help us keep tno covenant en tered Into for the maintenance of the freest government of earth. The nation and the iiamo of Washington are Inseparable , One Is linked Inillssolubly with the other , lloth are glorious , both triumphant. Washington lives and will live because wnat he did was for the exaltation of man , the enthrone ment of conscience and the establishment of n government which recognizes nil the governed. And BO , too , will the nation live victorious over all obstacles , adhering to the Immortal principles which Washington taught and Lincoln unstained. HISTORY OF THE MONUMENT. The magnificent memorial dedicated today with such pomp and pageantry has a history almast as full of Interest and "moving acci dents" as that of the hero whcao provveas It commemorated. On the Fourth of July , 1811 , more than eighty-live yo.irs ago. the Society of the Cin cinnati , which still had among Its member * olllcers who htd fought In the revolution , met in independence liall and adopted a reso lution to erect a monument to the memory of George Washington. The boclcty had not then acquired Us peculiar dlhtlnctlon as an organization of patriots of opulence an/1 leis ure , dedicated to the worship of their ances try. They wcro not unlike the legions which have grown out of th civil war , and Wash ington was as near to them a Grant Is to the veterans' organizations of the present day. At this meeting a committee was ap pointed , made up of Major I' . Lenox , Judge H. Peters. Major W. Jackson , "Mr. " Hlddle. a descendant of "Nick" Diddle , the dought ) commodore of the revolution , and Horace ninney. They appealed for funds to the jieo- lilo of Pennsylvania , and $2,000 came In. From this small beginning thu fund Imn grown to (280,000 , although the original pur- pot ? wan to ralio only 1160,000. Tlie war of 1812 , with Its two years ot ex- Tailor-made Suits.

Finally , 'n 1S32 , the ono hundredth anniver sary of Washington's birth produced another revival of patriotic memories , and a committee teeof citizens started a. now fund for the . monument. In honor of this centennial there was a great procerslpn , and in the division given up to trades was n car drawn by seven horses ami carrying the cornerstone which had been prepared for the monument. Again the next year there was a great parade- , and the stone was laid in the center of Washing ton square , within sight of the venerated Independence dependencehall. . Meantime the original fund In the custody of the Cincinnati had remained undisturbed , and the citizens' fund was also substantially intact. Overtures were repeatedly made for a consolidation of the two funds , but the sturdy conservatism of the Cinelnnatlans de feated them until about fifteen years ago , when the matter was carried to the- courts with successful issue. During the interval of quiescence both funds had waxed fatter the citizens' to $50,000 and the Cincinnati to ? 130,000. The monument , which Is the design of Prof. Rudolph Siemcring , a celebrated sculptor of Berlin , Is about forty feet high. From an oblong platform , reached on four sides by thirteen steps , symbolical of the thirteen original states , rises a pedestal hearing an equestrian statue In bronze of General Wash ington. The Father of Ills Country is repre sented In the colonial uniform of the Ameri can army , a large military cloak being thrown around hl commanding figure. At the four corners of the platform are fountains , served by allegorical figures of American Indians , representing four rivers , the Delaware , Hud son , Potomac and Mississippi. On the sldeo , each of these fountains is guarded by typical American animals , eight in all. At the front and hack of the pedestal are two allegorical groups , the former representing America ceated , holding In ono hand a cornucopia ; In the other a trident , and having at her feet chains jucH cast off. She Is In the act of receiving from her victorious sons the trophies of their conqurat. Helow this group la an eagle supporting the arms of the United States. PATRIOTIC IN CONCEPTION. The group In the back roproscntH America arousing her sons to u sense of their slavery. Uclow are the arms of Pennsylvania. On the sides of the pedestal arc two has reliefs , one representing the march of the American army , the other a wcfiternbound emigrant train. On one sldo tlio pedestal bears the Inscription : "Sic Semper Tyrannla , " and "Per Aspera ad Astra ; " on the other : "West- ward the Star of Kmplro Takes Its Way. " Surrounding the upper portion of tlio pedes tal Is the legend : "Krcctcd by the State Society of the Cincinnati " The Society of the Cincinnati forms nn Interesting hlntorln link connecting onr times with the revolution. Later w.irs have produced other Kocletloa which are composed of actual participants In the events which they commemorate ; wherous the Cincinnati , conceived by Washington's fellows In. the field , now Includes only their descendants. It was founded on May 13 , 1783 , at a meeting of the. oltlcers of the Continental army , at the Verplar.ck residence on the east tihore of the HndBoii river , about a mlle above Fish- kill , N. V.

The constitution , or rather Institution , as the phraeo still continues , re- conn's the happy close of the war for Independence pendence"after a bloody conflict of eight years' , " and' then recites as tlio piirpcno of the society : "To perpetuate , as well the re- mpmbranco of this vast event im the neutral friendships uhlch have been formed undei ( hit pressure of common danger and in many instam'f-H ecn.enttd by the blood of the par ties , tt.o ollU-fcra of tlio American army do hereby , In thu most solemn manner , asso ciate , constitute and combine thcmt > clvcs Into ono society of friends , to endiiro as long an they shall endure or any of their eldest mule posterity , and , In failure thereof , the collat eral branches who may bo judged worthy of becoming Ita supporters and members.
