REGARDING THE SOLDIER'S MONUMENT.
The erection of the Soldier’s monument
and Curtin Memorial in Bellefonte now
being an assured fact, the contract having
been let some time ago, the following facts
regarding the money in sight aod the
amount to be yes raised, as well as the col-
lection of a corrects list of the names of old
soldiers to be inscribed thereon, as given
in General Beaver’s letter to the Centre
county Veteran Club at its annual reunion
at Hunter’s park, Sept. 10th, will be of in-
terest. Gen. Beaver says:
t¢Ag all are doubtless aware, the final
contract for the erection of our soldier’s
monument has been consummated. The
-agreement has been signed by the Commis-
sioners of Centre county, assuming the pay-
ment of $10,000 of the entire cost of the
monument, by the state commission for
the erection of the statue of Gov. Curtin,
assuming $10,000 for its erection, leaving
$13,000 to be raised and paid by the citi-
zens of onr county. Oar veteran associa-
tion, as you know, subscribed $1,000. If
all outstanding obligations can be collect-
ed, we have the money now in hand to pay
this subscription. Might it not be well
for us to assume and promise at this meet-
ing to pay an additional sum of—say $250.-
00, which we can doubtless raise in the or-
dinary way during the next two. or three
years ?
“Two other things are necessary for us
to do in order to carry ont the details of
the monument and bring the design to a
successful completion. As you know, the
design embraces the name of every soldier
who enlisted from Centre county as well as
those of others who have made Centre coun-
ty their home since the war. In order to
have these complete, it will be necessary
to have an organization in every township
in the county to secure the names, particu-
larly of those who may have enlisted in or-
ganizations whiob were not raised in Cen-
tre county proper. There will be little
difficalsy in securing the names of the men
of the 2nd, 7th, 10th, 15th, 5th Reserves,
45th, 49th, 53rd, 56th and - 148th Regts. of
infantry, and the 1st, 20d, 7h and 16th
Regts. of cavalry. There were a number of
men, however, partioularly in the border
townships of the county, who enlisted in
organizations from other counties and in-
deed from other states. We ought to be
able to secure the name of every one of
these men and, in order to do this, it will
be essentially necessary that we make a
careful and close canvass of every town-
ship, in order that the. name of no Centre
county man who enlisted in the service
may be omitted. Itis probably not the
province of our veteran club to takecharge
of this matter bus we can co-operate with
our monnment association in helping to
secure these names and it is essential that
we begin at once and prepare lists of all
the men in theseveral townships who serv-
ed in the Union army during the Civil
I mention this now so that all who
are interested in it may begin, each in his
own neighborhood, to secure the names of
such as are the least likely to be known,
so that they may be communicated to the
committees which are likely to be appoint-
ed by our monument association. .
Another practical subject requiring at-
tention and earnest efforts will be the raie-
ing of the additional amount necessary to
complete our monument. I cannot speak
definitely as to the amount in haud and al-
ready pledged but, in a general way, I
shonld say that it did not much exceed
$8,000. It will, therefore, be necessary
for ns to raise in some. way. between this
and the time of the completion of our
monument at least $5,000. This will re.
quire a careful canvass of the county. s
“I speak of these things now so that the
thought of our veterans may be turned to-
ward them and that they may. be thinking
of plans by which both the money neces-
sary and the names of our comrades may
be had in proper time for use in casting the
bronze plates upon which the names are to
be borne and in securing the money to pay
for the monument. by the time of its com-
pletion, which is likely to be—say a year |
from this time. In this effort let me be-
speak the active and hearty co-operation
of every member of our veteran club, of
every old soldier in the county and of
every friend of those who are deceased:
“The idea of preserving the name of
every man who served from the county is
rather unique and commends iisell to all
who have learned of it but, in order to
make it the success whioh it onght to be,
we must be careful that.not a single name
is omitted. There will be plenty of room
for every name but it will be difficult, alter
the plates are cast, to add the names of
any which may be omitted and it is, there-
fore, of the first importance that we should
not only be careful in securing the names
but in baving every name in full and each
. one properly spelled.” The mistakes of
Bates’ history and of other published rolls
must be carefully corrected. It might be
well, as you have opportunity, to farnish
to our secretary, who is also the secretary
of the monument association, a list of
names from the several townships from
which a selection of a proper committee
for securing the names for the monument
might be appointed.’’ wt ;

A Letter From a Native Egyptian
Boy of Sixteen Years.
The following letter was written to J.
M. Keichline from a pupil and friend of
his son, Dr. John Keichline, who has been
a medical missionary in Cairo for the past
year. y
Cairo, Aug. 31st, 1904, 35 Sharia Dawaween.
This is my first letter to you. Although I
wished to write to you long before this
time, but I have not had the chance. I am
the first Egyptian that the doctor, John M.
Keichline, met when he came to Egypt and
since that time we have loved each other and
have been just as brothers. I hope you love
me as 8 son. When my American brother
arrived last May, the 26th, he came to our
house accompanied by Mr. Cassebin. And I
was sitting there in my study room
preparing for my oral examination for the
secondary certificate. I bad just finished
the written examination a few days before
and was waiting for the result.
IT am glad to say that I had the fortune of
going in for the oral examination and of
passing it successfully as well. My order
among the successful candidates was the
eleventh on the list. The unsuccessful can-
didates for medicine that year were 125 and
those who went in for the examination were
385. My ideas since I have been to the pri-
mary schools were concentrated upon the
profession of a doctor. I became more de-
termined when I knew the doctor and al-
though many people had been trying to per-
suade me to undertake the law course, the
doctor, my father and I determined that I
should have the medical course. I have now
finished my first year and shall continue my
second year course when I receive my
diploma from the school. I intend to go to
America to have a graduate course. There
are many hospitals here, but there is no san-
itarium. The ple need much help. Only
ten per cent, of the people are educated and
girls are seldom educated, so home life is un-
pleasant and wearisome. Thereis no place
for the people te go except the coffee houses
and bars where they spend their money
foolishly, destroy their health and spoil
their character. If clubs for young peoples’
association could be started here it would be
very fine. I havedifferentideason the prac.
tice of medicine now than I had before. We
are now trying to get the other students of
medicine to believe in the same things and
to lead better lives, It would be very fine
work for Egypt.
American brother, Doctor J. M. Keichline.
Iam living with him. We go to the clinic at
our father’s house every day from 8 to 10 a.
m. We have an hour's rest after that during
which we could study Arabic or medicine.
Then we go to the clinic in Sharia, Dawaween,
and stay there from 11to 1p. m, We then
take dinner and have a rest and do as we
like until office hours from 4 to 5 p. m.
He then goes to play tennis and I to visit
friends. We meet again at 7 and continue
until it is bed time. Next morning we again
start the same work. \
On Tuesday night we go to the Ezbekieh
garden to hear the music, where the English
band plays on these nights to 11 p. m. We
are ‘expecting to do very good work for
Eeyot, to take cate of the poor snd to help
e young people. I hope you ove
