Magnificent Monument to Be Erected
on the Hudson's Banks at New York'
Will Be of the Finest Marble Mark
Twain Compares It to the Coliseum.
Kobert Fulton's genius is to be hon
ored by a $2,500,000 memorial to be
erected, on Riverside drive, between
One Hundred and Fourteenth and One
Hundred and Sixteenth streets. In New
York. Within the mausoleum, which
Is to form the centerpiece of the pro
posed monument, will be reinterred 'the
bones of Fulton, there to repose for
ever. In the solid rock of the hillside will
fee built this magnificent tribute to the
inventor of the steamboat. Viewed
from the Hudson, the monument Is ex
pected to be without a peer In the
-world for natural and architectural
beauty. '
The enthusiasm of the men who are
planning this costly work Is attested
by the fact that $30,000 for the pre
liminary, expenses was subscribed by
thirty men in as many minutes. . They
. are members of the Robert ' Fulton
. Monument association.

J A beautiful water gate will grace the
. entrance to the tomb. Already the
minds bf the greatest architects In the
JUnlted States are devising plans for
the monument. The preliminary -'set
f drawings are to be submitted be
fore Nov. 25 next.
The Robert Fulton Monument asso
ciation recently received the approval
of the plan by the living descendants
of Robert Fulton. The letter which
grants the association permission to
disinter the body of the inventor and
place It in the proposed tomb Is ad
dressed to Cornelius Vanderbilt, presi
dent of the association, and reads as
follows:' .
We are In receipt of your courteous

For the past three years the Robert
Fulton Monument association has been
.quietly perfecting the preliminary plans
for this memorial, which is intended
to be a national ornament --' The water
igate will extend 300 feet Into the Hud
son river. Marble steps will 'lead up
:from the water's edge to the tomb In
.the center.
To Be Made of the Finest Marble,
On one side of 7the tomb will bo
erected a nautical museum to contain
models of all kinds of nautical craft
On the other side will be constructed
a reception hail for the use of the army
sand navy. The entire monument in
eluding the ' buildings, will be made
of the finest marble. Fountains and
anarhUs statues will beautify the edifice.
'The members of the association have
contributed over $40,000 for the prelim
lnarr work and legislation. The state
and the city of. New York have given
their consent to the use of the land
and water.
- Compared to the Coliseum. -
Mark Twain, the vice1 president of
the association, has written President
Vanderbilt a letter in regard to the
, proposed monument in which he says:
Like the Coliseum, this water gate will
ie unique. It will have no duplicate; no
rival, no competitor. Like the Coliseum,
4t win ba the city's chiefest architectural
feature and the stateliest, and, 'also like1
the Coliseum, It will last through a nte
period not estimable in years, but only. in
.centuries and ages. And, indeed, this is
.as It should', be. - ;
H. W. Dearborn,' who as assistant
' secretary is In charge of, the -office of
the association, said:
"So far the entire preliminary ex-
nse has been paid by: the members
.of the association. Later on, after the
design for the monument has been
flrtnnted. the Dubllc will be given a

dearth In a peculiar manner while on
his Arizona ranch a few years ago.
He was" riding a mustang when an j
insect flew into his ear. He used
every means to dislodge the creature,
whose presence created excruciating
pain. Tucson, the nearest place where -
a . surgeon might be found, was- 1Q0
miles away, but he beaded for it and
rode at top speed. When he reached
Tucson he -was raving mad and was
stopped for an Insane man. His fate.

Elks' 'pin that he wore. Prominent
officers of that order Interested them
selves In his case, and he was taken
to St. Mary's hospital In that city,
where the physicians found out his
trouble and relieved him of the Insect
Had he not reached Tucson before he
lost his senses he doubtless would
have died wandering on the plains.
