Tbe statue Is placed to" Lafayette Square, opposite the Lafayette monument, 'where, a vast crowd of people congregated this afternoon to witness the 'unveiling ceremonies. , President Roosevelt spoke' briefly and extolled Vlcomte de .Rochambeau. Sena tor Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachus etts, sounded the clarion not of the day, delivering the chief oration. Both ad dresses were sincere. eulogies of the char acter, devoted fealty to the cause of lib erty and the courageous qualities of tbe hero whoso statue served, to Inspire the sentence. The President and his cabinet, together with the French visitors, were escorted to Lafayette Square by a considerable number of troops. These Included cav alry and Infantry from Fort Myer and Washington Barracks and detachments of marines and sailors: The Frenoh military forces were represented by a large mili tary band and a detachment of marines from the battleship Gaulols. The crimson red of tbe artillery troops, the rattle and clatter of the horses and Held pieces, and the mafiy marching infantrymen served to tint the procession With Just enough martial color to make it form a fitting preliminary-to the unveiling of the bronse monument to the famous French hero. The' French visitors rode in carriages tinder; cavalry i escort They ' included Genera Brugers,. Commander-in-Chief of the French army: General de Chalandar, one of whose ancestors was a Lieutenant sf Rochambeau; Lieutenant-Colonel l'Her tnlte. Captain Pollloue de Saint-Mars, Captain Lasso a, Vlce-Admirel Foamier, M. Jean Gulllemln, Robert de Billy, Count Paul de Lafayette and the , Countess Rochambeau. ,ii:iu;M - " The Countess Rochambeau bad toe hon or of pulling the cords that loosed the drapery of French- and American flags concealing the monument The Countess was given the signal and she seised hold of tbe ropes with a quick, determined grasp. She gave one pull and then an other. Therowd stood as one man, ex pectant and intent. She jerked harder, and within a moment the folds about the' monument began to shake apart. Grad ually they dropped away, and all at once they fell from the monument in a heap and the sun lighted the whole work. President Roosevelt bad risen from bis chair in the special stand and members of his cabinet and the French visitors were also on their feet As the statue came into full view Its magnificence was strikingly presented to the people. A mighty cheer, such as welcomes the great ship as she slides Into the water after the christening, was heard, and the bands truck up in concert the French national air.- - r"7TfT tT.Tsr --h?:.'" Herbert D. Pierce, third assistant Sec retary of State, was master of ceremonies and made a short speech In which he re ferred most eloquently to the French hero. The statue unveiled today is a replica of the one by-Ferdinand Hamar, which was unveiled at Vendome, France, two years ago. It stands facing Pennsylvania avenue, westSof the White House, In a position .corresponding to that occupied by the memorial to Lafayette, 'which oc cupies the southeast corner of Lafayette Parkveast ., cf ;the Whits House, The statue was erected with an appropriation of I7.W0 by Congress. . It is a handsome affairs of bronse on a marble base and is said to be a striking likeness of Vlcomte da Rochambeau. From base to top the monument stands over feet high. I Tho Theaters I JJ I'U , CQSPRAY'S. . 5 ' f Thtf comedy Too Rloh to Marry, which Will,- be seen t Cordray'sj theater com menclng' Sunday matinee, la the humor ous and pathetlo story of a young lovef who is Infatuated With a sweet and aim pie lit tie" Dunkardess, and whose affections are' requitedV but who la tbe heir io & large fortune, and. for tnat reason, la not acceptable to the Eunkard parents. . The stern t and simple old parents - of the charming gin, think, as a part of their belief, that riches are a curse, and they do not propose to allow their daughter, who "loves, not wisely but too well.' to fa In Too Rkli to Marry, at Cordray'a. marry man with . such a loadstone - on' his shoulders as the inheritance of a for tune. On account of . the love of .. the young couple and the "opposition of the parents of the girl, complications arise which -afford a wealth of humorous sit uations, and give the author a chanoe to show how a true American can surmount everything, even millions, for the girt he loves. The working out 'of the diffi culty Is more than pleasing, and holds the attention of all to first a laugh and then a bit of pathos, so well blended that the story seems to be that of every day life instead of a stage production. - J... THE BAKER. In order. to attest tbe appreciation of the many patrons, and to satisfy the nu merous demands for a fitting memento of the Stuart Stock Company, the' man agements of the Baker theater has pre pared an elegant toovenir.. which win be presented to each patron at the Sat urday matinee,' ' as a signet to seal the close of Monte Carlo, and at Sunday's afternoon performance a sduvenlr of the entire company will be presented sis a brilliant herald Tor the week's bill. Dur ing the week the company will produce Bronson Howard's play, ' The Banker's Daughter, and every effort is being put forth to make the presentation a per fect one. The story of the play has. no doubt been heard beiore in other avenues of life, but it goes to show very forcibly that money and position? in life do not al ways insure happiness. The banking firm of Babbage & Westbrook find that they are In straitened financial circum stances, when Westbrook discovers that the cloud of ruin will rise before a daz zling sun of prosperity In the event of his daughter's hand being given to one Strebelow. The father consents to the al liance, and Strebelow presses his suit, which the young woman in order to save her father from destruction encourages, although unknown to. her parents her heart is given to another. Her father, thinking that his daughter is ignorant of his financial straits, exults in his daugh ter's Wedded , happiness, and his own temporal preservation. .The daughter, though now wedded tJ Strebelow, still entertains her lover of olden days, and this secret tryst is watched with eagerness by an ardent though rejected suitor, the Count de Carojac. At well timed moment, the Count picks a quarrel with Routlege, the accepted lover, and kills him in a duel, giving as his reason for the challenge, his compromising the name of Mme. Strtbelow., .-, . This is the first Intimation that Btre- Slow has of his wife's dual loverbut in der to vindicate the wrong done her as his wife, he challenges the Count and kills blm -in the encounter. After the struggle Is settled, and he learns that his wife was really In love with Routlege, he obtains legal separation from his wife, as a result of which she. with their one child, returns to the borne of heii father. On the occasion or Mr. Westbrook e; sister being engaged In writing some bus-' Iness letters., the little one displays anxi ety to write also, and having no one to whom, she can send letter, she sud denly decides that ft would ber well to wrlle , to her papain tars, Holoomb sees thai opportunity is,' Afforded to bring about e reoondOatkm between, the hus band and wire.' and aids the little one In forwarding the childish note, which is mors than effective In bringing about the. much dealrea result it.f.:'-' t,jf - -i ii in i !.,... . ,-. :; ' the marquamI ' The Frawley company will close a week's engagement tonight at tbe Mar quam with the production of The Char ity Ball, Belasce and De Mills's greatest Lsuoces.
