Tay lr, of Went Chester, Pa., intends to dispose of a large ahare of his wealth while he is yet alive; but instead of investing it in libraries or schools he is building monuments on the ISrandy wine battleneld. He refused to tell how much he has tpent in this wuy, but eoniM-teut judges say the statues aud shafts which he has erected have cost fully $50,000. He has just com pleted his most elaborate monument, a memorial to lieu. Lafuyette, built of granite at a cost of $$,000. Already he is planning other designs to honor the various commanders who partici pated in the buttle. Mr. Taylor, who is about 70 years old, according to the Philadelphia Times, was formerly a broker and pri vate banker in West Chester, and when he retired from business several years ago, his fortune, while not counted by millions, was more than ample fur his needs. His wife and child and several relatives were buriedi in the cemetery ut the ltirmingliam meeting house, on the picturesque hills along the lira ndy wine, several miles south of West Ches ter, and at this spot Mr. Taylor spent most of his leisure moments. He en deavored to interest others in the proj ect of preserving the historic remains at Birmingham, but the staid Quaker community was slow to become en thusiastic over a matter so purely sen timental. It is true that in IStlSthe schoolchil dren of Chester county collected about with which the Historical society of the county was commissioned to erect a marker at the spot where La fayette was shot. For this sum a monument was secured that was rather LAFAYETTE MKMOIUAU (Krt'Ctcd Itvrently on the Fam.jua llat Ik'fU'ld of Ilrundy wine.) imposing in design, but it was con structed of terracotta. Dedication ex ercises were held on September 11, 1S1IS, the anniversary of the battle. Not long afterward, under the influence of the storms that swept the exposed hillside, the terracotta monument be gan to crumble, and it is now in ruins. When Mr. Taylor began his work of Imlfding monuments he first pro vided suitable memorials fortius wife aud child. Three Mat lies, made in Italy, of the best white marble of that country, were erected on the Taylor plot, one being a life size figure of his wife, another representing Jesm Christ, and the third being a group consisting of the Virgin Mary and two cherubim. These statues were incased in glass and placed ou massive pedes tals of glazed brick. Last year Mr. Taylor endeavored to enlist the cooperation of the state legislature in'erect ing a monument to Lafayette en the battlefield. He of fered to bear most of the expense, merely asking the state to give a share so that the project might not appear to be entirely an individual enterprise. The appropriation, however, was not granted. Cndismayed, Mr. Taylor pro. ceeded with his plans, and under his supervision the monument has nov been completed. It consists of a col umn of granite cubes, reaching the height of 25 feet. The granite was quarried at St. Peter's, in the north western part of Chester county. The monument is no arranged that if desira ble a statue of Lafayette muy be placed ,m the top. On the sides are inscribed two extracts from au address delivered by Lafayette at West Chester on the occasion of his visit in ISL'3. One is the following toast: "Maythe blood spilled by thousands with equal merit in the cause of inde pendence and freedom be to ensuing generations an eternal pledge of un alloyed republicanism, federal unity, public prosperity and domestic happi ness." The otherquotation is as follows: "The honor to have mingled my blood with that of many other Ameri can soldiers on the heights of Brandy wine has been to me a source of pride and delight." Mr. Taylor's monuments, remarkable in themselves, are the more conspicu ous because they stand In a Quaker cemetery. OiigJhally the Friends' dor trine of extreme simplicity permitted the erection of no mnrkers whatever at the graves of their dead. 1 n modern times, however, they have tolerated the low headstones now common in their graveyards. At Birmingham, in addition to this, a tract is set apart for those who do not choose to ad here rigidly to Quaker methods of .burial, and it is in this section that Mr. Taylor's monuments are placed. ... MIlS. FRANCES MATOON. Mrs. Frances Matoon, Treasurer of the Minneapolis Independent Order of ood Templars writes from 12 Sixth NtreeV Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: "Lsil winter I had considerable trouble with my kidney a brought mm after a hard cold which I bad neglected.
