4 MONUMENT TO MONITOR BUILDER Bwedes of the State Working to Raise Fund of $50,000—C. W. Pearson on State Committee to Secure Money For John Ericsson Memorial Appreciation by the government of the great services rendered in time of dismay and danger by John Ericsson, the celebrated Swedish inventor and builder of the Monitor, and tangible expression of pride in their distin- suished countryman by the Swedish people of this nation, is anticipated in The.eariy erection of the John Ericsson memorial at Washington. The project is for an appropriation af $50.000 by congress, and the raising, by popular subscription among the Swedish people, promarily, and by o#h- ers interested, of an equal if not a greater amount. The whole sum raised, $100,000 or more, will be expended in the erection of a memorial in Wash- ington. The proposition to raise the $30,000, and perhaps a greater sum, depending jargely on the enthusiasm manifested, will be submitted to the Swedish peo- ole in circular letters sent to all parts @f the country. In Hartford preliminary steps have been taken for the organization of the work. For some time the Swedish- American Young Men's Republican Glub has had the memorial in mind, At a recent meeting of the club the matter was discussed at length. The | the district cover members of the executive committee | mac by the Monitor: The Merrimac was keeping on her victorious course, having the wooden vessels of the union fleet at her mercy. It seemed highly probably that she wwould have gone up the Potomac and attacked Washington. But salvation was at hand in the Mon- itor, the first successful ironclad ves- 1 ‘ever built for the United States navy. She was built at Greenport, L. I, and launched June 30, 1862. The ironclad was taken south under com- mand of Lieut. John L. Worden and on June 9, 1862, encountered the Merri- mac in the memorable battle i Hamp- ton Roads, off the Virginia coast. Her defeat of the Merrimac was of great value to the union cause. STANDING COMMITTEES FOR METHODIST CONFERENCE Arrangements Completed and 158 Clergymen Will Be Present.
