Tile delegates of the Epworth League

to tater conventions have long moor
learned that it is not only ate eonvenienoe
of emcees that makes Indianapolis popular
ae a convention city, but its beauty as
wall, Although it has not the charm of
a location on a large water course, it pos•
erases many other beauties, and small
streams lend an added touob of beauty to
the drives and cycle paths without the
city. Another feature mooch appreciated
by the visitor is the coovenienoe of these
points of interest. One does not need a
guide and a day off to find them. They
are all about nue, beginning with the
beautiful monument, visible from all
paints of the city. Once the general plan
of the oity le understood it is very easy
to find one's way about in it, althongb
the convenient diagonal avenues and the,
storied "Circle" at first lead strangers 1
astray. Monument Place, formerly the
"Governor's Cirole" because upon it mum
stood the home of the Chief Exeoative
of the state, is one square North of
Washington street. Meridian etreet,
which divides the city into East and
West portions, would run directly through
the monument, if it were not interrupted

Indianapolis has the proud distinction
of aoataiuing the flret monument aver
erecter directly in honor of the private
soldier. It is also ono of the few real
works of art in this line to be found in
Amerioa. It is not a plain and unsightly
shaft but a beautiful obelisk of artistio
design. It was designed by Bruno
Schmidt, the great German arohiteot.
Its construction was authorized by an
act of the General Assembly of the State
of Iadlaua, and passed at the session of
1887. Tbie act appropriated the rum of
3200,000 to defray the cost of erection,
and empowered certain of the state
officers to appoint fiveoommiseiouers wbo
should have charge of the work. In ad-
dition to the amount appropriated by the
Legislature, the sum rained by the monu•
mens committee of the G. A. It. was paid
over to the commissioners to be expended
by them. In 1801 the State Legislature
made a further appropriation of 3100,010
to aid in the oonetrnation. The monu•
meat is situated in the very heart of the
pity on a circle of ground that was origin-
ally designed for the reaidenoe of the
Governor. It is conetructed of Indiana
