The Tri-Wei
Hi« Monument In New York and Why
It Is There.
“Everybody who lives in New York
knows or ought to know by this time
where the Worth monument is. but
how many know what it’s all about.”
said a New Yorker to a group
frieuds who were standing in front of
the monument in Madison square.
“I should say.” he went on. “that •
more persons pass by here every day |
than by any other spwt in Manhattan,
excepting Nassau and Frankfort
streets, yet I’ll wager that most of you
do not know who Worth was.”
‘Pooh!’’ remarked fbe only non-New j
Yorker in the group, who had just |
come down from Albany and hadn’t !
been in Madison* square but once be-
fore in his life. “Worth was with
Pope in the Army of the Potomac and
was killed when he was with Sherman
•n the mai;ch through Georgia.”
“Oh. you’re way otf there, John,” In-
terrupted another. “1 can see near the
base in big bronze* letters:
“By the Corporation
of the
City of New York,
1857.
Honor the Brave.”
The year 1857 settled the Array of
the Potomac and marching through
Georgia guess.
One of the onlookers has been a guest
of a nearby hotel for several years.
He knew h all—at least he thought he ( self away than be sold by
did. »
“That monument,” he said, “was
erected to the memory of General
Worth, who won great fame with Scott
during our war with Mexico. Am I
right?”
“Right you are.” said the onlooker
who had started the talk, “but.” he con-
tinued. “why did the city of New York
take such a specpal interest in his mem-
ory as to build that monument in bis
honor?”
“That’s easy,” was the reply of the
ancient guest of the nearby hotel. “It
was because Worth was l>orn ih
city and the city was proud of
as one of her distinguished sons.*
About this time along strolled a tall
man who was apparently acquainted
with the onlookers and had Heard the
last question and the answer. There
was a broad grin 011 his face. He was
a former inspector of police.
He put in a question or two. and In
answering riot one of the group-could
tell whether Worth was killed hi bat-
tle or where be was buried. But all
agreed that he was born in New York
city.
“Just come over to the monument
and take a look at the north side slab
And the group went with him. This is
what they read on the slab, and they
all afterward acknowledged that then?
and there they had read it for the first
time in their livW:
Under this Monument
Lies the Body of
WILLIAM JENKINS WORTH,
Born in Hudson. N. Y.,
March 1. 1794.
Died in Texas
May 7, 1849.
The fact is that not one person in
ten thousand In crossing to or from
Fifth avenue to Broadway takes the
Twenty-fifth street crossing on the
monument side, and therefore few per-
sons other than tourists ever stop to
read what is on the slab. It so hap-
pens, too. that the sunlight seldom
touches that side of the monument.
Moreover, as the slab and bronze let-
ters on It are very dark, passersby
seldom give it any notice.
“If out of a dozen New Yorkers who
have lived nearly all their lives within
a stone’s throw of this monument only
one knew that Geneiait Worth fought
in the Mexican war and none knew
that his Ixxly lies under the monument
how few of the millions who pass by
it every year ever heard of the geu-
: eraI’s name?”
