Tho progress mado by tho able and dis
tinguishes committee appointed In gen-
eral orders Nos 145 and 119 from these

upon Hie plan submitted by tho great
philanthropist and bemfneten Charles
Broadway Bouss for tho establishment
of a grand Memorial Hall where Con-
federate relics nnd mementoes ore to bo
deposited for all time and which ts to
become tho Battle Abbey of tho South
must bo very grntlfjing to the old vet-
erans and to all those who love tho tra
dltlons of tho South nnd who cherish tho
mimicries of the courage and heroism of
her sons and the unparalleled devotion
of her noblo and selfsacrificing women
This splendid commltteo has now truc
ctstully launched the grand enterprise
and through their action and that o
their subeonimlttces have formulated a
mode of procedure which If energetically
carried out can not fall of success i
It will be remembered that the generous
and largchoirtcd donor Mr Charles
Broadway Bouss who alono concelveJ this
project for tho pcrpetuntlon of the ills
torj nnd glory of his countrvmen present-
ed a plan for Its consummation to tl e
veterans at tho Hotslon Bcunlon nt the

dividual subscription to nsslst In carrying
out his grand views nnd Ideas conditioned
upon the veterans raising n like amount
lo raise this 100000 additional nnd
enough more to endow eind Insure the
perpe tuition of the Institution Is the prob-
lem fthlch now occupies the attention nnd
efforts of the committee
11 Is bellevesl thnt onehalf ot the
amount required will be inlrcsl through
the subscription of the more than MOOfl
mimbiMS of the United Confederate Ve t
erin nssoi bitten and which will entitle
them to tertlllcites showing their eon
tilbutlnns thus giving e ieh contributor

which Is so near and so dear to tint heart
of every ve te ran and It Is considered to
be lire nnd beend perndventure that
tho other half or bilnnce whntever mtiv
be required will bo raised by the noblo
women of the South
The committee suggests that the most
feasible manner of reaching tho deslresl
object Is to Ret npart a Memorial Fes-
tival Div and thev ask tint tho gen-
