THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1 896-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. THE NEW CARDINAL Mer. Satolli to Be Invested With the Berretta Tomorrow. —_s—__. CLERGY AND LAYHEN 10 BE PRESENT One Day as It is Spent by the Delegate. DUTIES OF HIS OFFICE OR THE THIRD time in the history of the Roman Catholic church in the United States, one of its most distinguished preiatas is to be eqampped with the princely dignity of a cardinal, and tomor- row, at the cathedral in Paltimore, Monsiz- nor Sarolli, the apos- tolfe delezat>, will be invested with the ber- retta In the presence ef the most notable gathering of Catholic dignitaries and laymen ever assembied in this country. The predec:ssors of Monsig- nor Satolli in receivnig this honor were Cardinal MeClosky of New York, who ws elevated to the cardinilate at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York April 22, 1 and Cardinal Gibbons, who formally received the distinction at the cathedral more June 30, 1886. Upon both occasions the ceremonies were conducted with pomp and splendor, and the investiture of Cardinal Satolli will be none the less notable an1 mazn'ficent in this re- in Balti- the occasion by Prof. Fanciulli, the leader of the United States Marine Band. ‘The New Cardinal's Personality. While there is not as much universal en- thusiasm among American Roman Catho- ics over the elevation of Monsignor Sa- toll!, owing to the well-understood fact that he is to be almost immediately transferred to Rome to spend the remainder of his days, there is general satisfaction over the fact ‘that it was his service in the church in this country that gained such signal recognition and was rewarded in so dis- tinguished a manner. To Catholics particularly, and scarcely less so to the followers of other denomina- the personality of a man who has .d such an exalted recognition of his ability as a churchman cannot be other than interesting. For many years before he was accredited to the Catholic Church in the United States ag the personal representative of the pope, in the capacity of apostolic delegate, Mon- signer Satolli was a prominent partici- pant in the direction of church affairs in Europe and an intimate personal friend of Pope Leo. In the many important duties that were from time to time intrusted to his care, Mgr. Satolli displayed those traits of pa- tlence and studiousness that have character- ized his course in dealing with the questions that have been submitted to him in his ca- pacity as apostolic delegate to the Catholic Chureh in America. His broad and com- prehensive manner of looking at a subject and his absolute freetom from bias in reaching a decision caused Pope Leo te select him for the important mission to this country. His elevation to the cardinalate is simply an addi- tional recognition of his great services to the church as an important instrument in carrying out and extending her policies. His Simple Everyday Life. Mgr. Satolli, while not strictly an ascetic, pursues the same simple mode of life that he followed when a humble and unknown priest in Italy. The honors and dignities hich have been showered upon him have ise affected the tenor of his every- lay existence. His life in Washington is very much the same day after day. He rises at 5 o'clock and celebrates mass in his pri- vate chapel at the legation building. At 7 he breakfasts, the meal being a frugal one, and at its conclusion he immediately devotes himself to his work, as he calls it. The duties and authority of an apostolic delegate do not seem to be thoroughly well understood by the masses of the Catholics, THE CARDINAL’S CHAPEL. gard. As the representative of Pope Le> Cardinal Gibbons will confer the berretta, the new cardinal will celebrate the mass and the sermon will be delivered by Arch- bishop Kain of St. Louis, Every Catholic prelate in America has been invited to be Present at che cer2mony, as well a3 hun- dreds of the priests an? many distinguished laymen, who are personal frizuds of Mon- signor Satolli. ‘The Oath Already Taken. The oath of the cardinalate was adminis- tered to Mgr. Satolli at the legation, on I street, yesterday The ceremony was a quiet one. Mgr. Sbarretti, the auditor of the legation, who had been designated as papal ablegate for the occasion, administered the oath in the presence of Very Rev. J. A. Stephen, the head of the Catholic Indian missions bureau, and the Rev. Cornelius Gil- lespie, pastor of St. Aloysius’ Church. The cath, which is one of mere formality, was subseribed to in the new cardinal's private chapel, where he read the usual formula and subscribed to it by kissing the Bible. It contained the Nicene creed, with an explicit profession of the belief of the Roman Cath- elie Chureh as the only rule of faith; a belief » Seven Sacramer.ts; in the doctrines by the Council of Trent with regard to original sin and justification, and in the doctrines defined by the Vatican Council of 1S regarding the primacy’ and infallibility of the Reman pontiff. Some Who Will Be There. Those who have signified their intention to accept are Archbishops Corrigan of New York, Williams of Boston, Ryan of Phil- adelphia, Phelan of Chicago, Elder of Cin- cinnati, Ireland of St. Paul, Jansens of New Orleans, Gross of Oregon, Chappelle of Santa Fe, Walsh of Toronto, Begin of Quebec and O'Brien of Halifax: Bishops Moore of St. Augustine, Rademacher of Fort Wayne, Marty of St. Cloud, T.erney of Hartford, McDonald of Brooklyn, Gabriels of Ogdensburg, Scannell of Omaha, Burke of St. Joseph, Carter of Winona, Bradley of Manchester, Ryan of Buffalo, Maes of Covington, Donahue of Wheeling, Ludden ef Syracuse, Wigger of Newark, McFaul of Trenton, Healey of Portland, Chatard of Vincennes, Phelan of Pittsburg. Beavan of Springfield, McGovern of Harrisburg, De Groesbriand of Burlington, Hark:ns of Providence. Foley of Detroit, Van Devy- yer of Richmond, Michaud, coadjutor oo ane THE DRAWING SES: and to many of these Mgr. Satolli evident- ly appears in the light of an adviser when in doubt and a referee or umpire in every con- troversy which arises either between pas- tor and bishops, pastors and congregations, or between members of congregations par- ticularly. A glance at his mail any morning would probably discover, for instance, letters from angry members of far-off churches protesting against some action on the part of their pastors, which, on investigation, will prove to be merely some little misunder- standing which affects neither the polity of the church nor the prosperity of the par- ish. Letters would doubtless be found also praying the good offices of the apostolic del- egate in assisting the writers to collect debts long over due, not from priests, but from Catholic laymen, and other communt- cations would be discovered asking the rep- rescntative of the pope to decide questions in Christian doctrine that any beginner in catechism would have no difficulty in de- termining. e Tken, of course, there would be a great many very. important communications dis- covered, but to all of them Mgr. Satolli Pohl the same faithful and careful atten- tion. : Nervous, but Patient. When it is known that he is an extreme- ly nervous man, his patience in attending to duties of such a character is something wonderful, but he would probably smile if this trait was alluded to and deprecate the possession of any very great amount of mental fortitude. By noon Mgr. Satolli is through with his correspondence and has indicated the char- acter of the answers to those communica- tions which demand replies, and a little after 12 o'clock he takes his dinner. From the termination of this meal until ‘clock he remains in the privacy of his where he reads his offices, indulges in pious meditation and takes a nap of half an hour or so. Upon leaving his room he usually takes a brisk walk of half or three- quarters of an hour's duration, and, return- ing, spends his time reading and entertain- ing his friends. Mgr. Satolli is a great reader of general literature, but his favor- ite subject is dogmatic theology. At 11 o'clock he retires, to arise and go thrergh the same routine the next day, broken, of course, quite frequently by the official’ and social demands that are mado upon him. In his disposition Mgr. Satolli is pleasant and amiable, without approach- ing anything that smacks of familiarity.

CATHEDRA SCENES, Description of the Ceremonies To- morrow in Baltimore. BALTIMORE, Md., January 4.—One of onies take place at the Roman Catholic Cathe- ral here tomorrow, the occasion being the public elevation of Mgr. Francis Satolli to the dignity of cardinal. The cathedral, which is one of the oldest and most Interesting theological structures in the United States, has been elaborately Gecorated for the occasion, and today it is pra lies, ferns, pa the ally a mass of twining smilax, roses, ms and other plants. Among e, and glistening like a myriad of stars out the main altar, will be hundreds of en tapers. As a’ background will be w seen the brilliant vestments of the scores of prelates who are already arriving to taxa Fart, either as participants or witnesses, in the grand pageant and solemn services at- tending the ordination. Laymen, distin- guished in all the walks of life and ot eveiy religicus belief, will form part of the auil- ence in the bedy of the church, and music A Corner of the Library. of the grandest and most elaborate char- acter will be rendered by dozens of chor- isters, while & hcst of altar boys will per- fume the air with incense. The Scene at the Altar. Cardinal Gibbons will occupy the throne cn the gospel side of the sanctuary, robed in full caaonical vestments, while a tem- porary throne will be provided for the can- didate upon the episile side. On either side of the rdinal and Satolli will be their @ssistant priests and deacons of honor, and seated within the chancel rail will be the embers of the hierarchy and pr who have been invited to assist in the ceremony. Places will be specially provided in front of the cardinal’s throne for Archbishop Kain and Marquis Sacripanti,who will read- ily be recognized by his brilliant uniform of scarlet and white with gilt helmet and heavy sword. In front of the cardinal and to the left of the noble guard—who will stand erect throvghout the ceremony, symbolizing the importance of his mission in protecting the insignia and official documents—will be placed a small table, on which the papers and red berretta will rest until needed. The grandeur of the spectacle will increase from the entrance of the procession of pre- lates and elerzy by the east door of the cathedral through the proceedings incident to conferring the berretta and return of the newly invested cardinal in his scariet robe: which will be followed by the celebration o| pontifical high mass, until it reaches its climex in the bestowal of the papal benedic- tion upon the entire assemblage kneeling, which will be pronounced by Cardinal Sa- tolli, standing in front of the high altar, Description of the Ce ny. The ceremony of conferring the berretta, although sttended by so much pomp, ts in itself quite simple. Prior to the moving of the procession, the noble guard, attended by the master of ceremonies and either Dr. Rooker or Dr. Sbaretti of Monsignor Satolli's household, will erter the cathedral and de- posit upon the small table above referred to the red berretta and official briefs from Rome, which the noble guard will remain to protect while the others depart to join the procession. At the proper time during the ceremonies Cardinal Gibbons will be handed the official brief by the noble guard, announcing that his eminence has been chosen by the pope as the apostolic delegate to confer the ber- retta. The cardinal will then call upon his attendant priest to read the brief, first fr Latin, then in English. When the reading is finished the choir of seminarians will sing “Let Us Pray for Our Holy Father Leo. The red berretta, borne upon a silver tray, wil! then be presented to the cardinal by the noble gtard, who will deposit it upon the altar and make a shext address in Latin, which he will concl#@ by inviting Mgr. Satolli to approach.” The latter will be es- corted from his throne by his attendant priests and deacons of honor. The cardinal will next take the berretta from the altar and place it upon Mgr. Satolli’s head as the latter kneels before him. Cardinal Satolli In the Dining Room. will then rise, raise the berretta from his d, ascend the steps of the altar and make an address in Latin to Cardinal Gib- bons, as the pope's repre: At the conclusion of this, while intones the Te Deum, the new cardinal will retire to the sacristy and exchange the pur- ple vestments of the archbishop for the scarlet robes of a cardinal. The celebration of the mass will follow and at the introit the kiss of peace or ec- clesiastical embrace received from the cel- ebrant will be exchanged by all within the chancel rail. The embrace consists in plac- ing the hands of the giver upon the shoul- ders of the recipient and moving the head as if kissing the cheek. Magnificent Music. The musical features of the program will be entirely in keepirg with the character of the ceremonies and will be very impres- sive.. As the procession passes along the Mulberry street side of the cathedral the large organ will open the program with a symphonic march. As the procession en- ters the cathedral the choir will sing the sional hymn, “Hece Sacordos Mag- nus hol the High Priest). Then will follow the intoning of the musical num- hers of the mass and at the offertory tehle’s anthem, “Haec Dies” (This is the Gay the Lord has made; let us rejoice and It in it), wll be sung. The Te Deum wil! follow the mass, be- ing intoned by the new cardinal and sung ky the choir. Rev. Dr. Witt’s Te Deum in E flat for double chorus, solo and organ ompaniment has been selected for the secasin. Ther onal anthem = sung while the bell tolls and the procession moves out of the catheiral will be “Lau- date Dominum,” by Ett. ‘The cathedral choir will be assisted by a nber of noted voices from the leading holic choirs of Washington The official briefs from “Rone comprise the letter from the pope to Cardinal Gib- bon tten in Latin, on parchment, and addressed to the laiter as apostolic dele- gate, conferring upcn him the papal au- thority to bestow the berreita, the insignia of the new dignity, and the letter of the pope to Archbishop Satolli, oflicially in- forming him of his elevation, and the oath he is required to take before receiving the berreita. — Dog Eating in Mexico.

IN COMPETITION The central corridor and part of the west ecrridor of the fifth floor of the War De- partment have been temporarily trans- formed into a hall of sculpture in minia- ture, and will well repay a visit from those who take an interest in that branch of the arts. The space in question has been set aside by the Secretary of War for the exhi- Hition of the various models which have been entered in competition for an eques- trian monument to Gen. W. T. Sherman, which is to be erected in this city, on a site not yet selected, under the general auspices of the Society of the Army of the Ten- hessee. Authority to supervise the con- struction and erection of the proposed monument is vested in a committee, con- sisting of the Secretary of War, the major general commanding the army and a com- mittee of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, composed of Gen. G. M. Dodge of New York, president; Col. J. F. Howe of St. Louis, treasurer; Gen. J. W. Noble of St. Louis, Col. D. B. Henderson of Du- buque, Iowa; Col. Augustus Jacobson of Chicago and Col. Cornelius Cadle of Cin- cinnati. Several months ago the committee of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee sent circular letters to all the principal sculp- tors in the United States, inviting their par- ticipation in a competition in designs for the proposed monument, and giving the conditions for its government. It was stated at the outset that the sum of $96,000 has been raised by subscription-and by ap- propriation by Congress for the monument, and that, deducting awards, traveling and other necessary expenses, there would be available for the entire cost of excavation, foundation, pedestal, equestrian statue, ete., the sum of $9,000. Competitors were instructed to prepare their designs for the completed structure in position on that monetary basis. They were also required to send their models to the Secretary of War, at their own expense and risk, on or before the Ist instant. Each design was to be shown in an accurate and elaborate model, including both the pedestal and statue, on a scale of one inch to one foot. The Best Fong Designs. It was announced that the contract for the work would be awarded “to the artist whose design is deemed best, provided it is considered satisfactory.” It was also stipu- lated that the sum of $1,000 each will be paid “to the artists submitting the next four designs deemed satisfactory for so important a work, but; whose models have not been accepted,,.provided so many are worthy of | Consideration.” ‘These awards will be pald from the monument fund within thirty dajs after the decision has been rendered. |The competition is re- stricted to artists and, sculptors residing in this country and Anrerican citizens residing abroad, and the suctessful artist will be re- quired to model the [iill-sized statue in the United States, where elso all the stone work and bronze casting must be done. These statements fully explain the pres- ence just now of many plaster models of Gen. ‘Sherman on herseback in the hall- ways of the top floor, of the War Depart- ment building. Over ‘fifteen designs have been received and, set yp for exhibition, and it is said that/several others are now on the way to this ¢ity, notwithstanding the impression that January 1 was the last date on which entries could be made. Most of the prominent sculptors in the country are represented in exhibition, and the committee will have ho difficulty, it is be- jieved, in finding a Satisfactory one. There are so many excellent designs that the se- lection of the best may prove somewhat embarrassing. In reaching their conclusion on this tm- portant point, the committee men will have the valuable’ artistic and professional as- sistance of such sculptors as Saint Gaudens and Olin Warner and such arehitects as Bruce Price and Charles Post. The models e to be on public exhibition for two weeks rior to rendering the final decision, but ot afterward,” in order to enable the gen- tlemen named fuli opportunity’ for a critica? irspection of each before deciding upon the | selection of the one to be used to perpetuate the memory of the hero of the Atlanta cam- | paign. All the models have been set up under the direction of Col. J. M: Wilson, in charge of public buildings and grounds, but that is the extent of his authority in the premises. He has extended the exhibitors all the facilities at his command for the display of their models and has stated his willingness to meet any reasonable request in the matter. The exhibition is proving a great attraction to the clerks and employes of the State, War and Navy Departments, as well as to the outside world, and the corridors have heen thronged with visitors since the open- ing of the exhibition Thursday last. In most cases the sculptor 1s on hand. He takes pleasure in explaining the metive and character of his design, and does not hesi- tate at a criticism of the designs of his brotl er artists. A Protest Filed. A contention has already arisen over the competition, and it has been made the sub- ject of a protest to the committee. It fs in regard to the consideration of models which arrived at the War Department after Jan- uary 1, the date on which the entries were supposei to close. The following is a copy of the protest: Gen. Dodge and Members of the Sherman Statue Committee of Army of Tennessee: Gentlemen: The undersigned, a majority of the sculptors competing for the Sherman statue to be erected in Washington, re- spectfully and earnestly request that’ the clause of circular issued by committee and bearing upon the time of acceptance of models, viz: January. 1, 1896, be enforced. We feel that it is but justice to those who have made every effort to present their work in season that this be done, and that all models submitted after January 1, 1896, be ineligible. We make this request after careful thought, and in the belief that we are ask- ing for simple justice in the matter. Very respectfully, (Signed) Arthur Suzo, J. Massey Rh’ L. Amatler, Wm. O, Partridge, James E. Kelly, Adrian Jones, H. J. Ellicott, Wm. B. Gray, Edwin M. Van°Note and others. The clause in thereircular referred to in the protest reads ag follows: “All artists competing must send,,free of expense and risk, to G. M. Dodgé president of the So- clety of the Army of, {he Tennessee, care of the Secretary of Wag, Washington, D. C., on or before January.J, 1896, an accurate and elaborate model of their desi: ete. Several of the models on exhibition “were not set up until TRi#sday, the 2d instant, and there were a fewswhich did not put in an appearance until,Friday, and it is to all of these that the objection is aimed. Inas- much as the first diy of January was a national holiday inthe District, requiring the closing of the: exneutive departments, and also because the circular required only that models in compajition should be sent cn or before Jan “1, without fixing a time limit for theji Xeceipt, it is under- stood that the comyiiftee will not heed the protest to ths extent ‘3 throwing out those models which met tig letter of their cir- cular if not the spipit. It is certain that the committee will not consider any models wken there has been an unreasonable de- lay in their receipt, Without intending any invidious com- parison of the merits of the various de- signs in competition, a brief description of the various models én exhibition is given 4s a matter of general interest. Charles H. Niehaus‘of New York submitted two designs. One is of the Italian renais- sance, and is intendéd to typify the mili- tary cayeer of Gen., Sherm ‘The model represents a marble “base fianked by four bronze figures, symbolizing the war of the rebellion—Drogress, Emanci- pation, Peace and Law. The pedestal is a central shaft within _six columns resting io and sipporting an en- trian group. On the: main shaft are disks containing the device of the United States pendant from lions’ heads, signifying lead- ship. Upon the front are the dates of the the issues of | th and death of Sherman, and the side | panels contain insignia of the four arms of the service. A frieze in line with the capitals of the columns is inscribed with the names of Sherman’s principal victories. A Charge of Plagiarism. The second design of Mr. Niehaus is in- tended more particularly to perpetuate the march to the sea. In this model the statue is set in front of a rectangular exhedra, the back barrier walls of which coniains bas relief representations of the celebrated march. Low balustrade walls form three sides of the exhedra. Amperes at the ends ot the barrier walls show decorated tab- lets inscribed with the names of Sher- man’s victories. They are surmounted by eagles, grasping in their talons the crest of the escutcheon of the United States. Upon the entablature, front and rear, are Fame's heralds, with laurel wreaths and trumpets. Gen. Sherman, attired in the uniform of a major general, sits prowdly on a magnificeat war horse. These two designs have caused more criticism from the competing artists than all the others on exhibition combined, and it is said that a protest will be made against their consideration on the general ground of plagiarism. It is boldly churg- ed that the design first described is a copy of the celebrated Colleoni at Venice and that the second design is a copy of the monument to Frederick the Great at Ber- lin, each being eltered only _to meet the necessities of the © Whether the charges are true or not will be for the committee to determine, and it will a rest with that body to say whether th shall be considered, provided the charges are sustained. Probably the largest model submitted is that of L, Mullgarde of Chicago. It rep- resents a large park with four approaches. At the four corners are pillars surmounted with spheres: bearing eagles with outstretch- ed wirgs. Similar pillars with plain spheres are at each entrance. In the center of the park, approached by steps, rises an im- mense granite pyramid, the sides of which contain bas reliefs of battle scenes, while above at the four corners are allegorical figures of War, Peace, Time and History. The front panel shows two flaming torches and, in the center, a niche, in which there is a bust of Sherman. The pyramid is sur- mounted with a large equestrian statue of Sherman. Fernando Miranda of New York exhibits a model in the form of an oblong temple of Greek Dorie architecture, crowned by four eagles and having a cupola, within which there is a bronze representation of Sherman watching the maneuvers of his troops. The monument ts of granite bronze ornamenta- fon. On each side of the monument are statues representing Victory, with wreath and palm, and Minerva, with sword upraised in defense of the American coat of arms. The right of the base shows a bronze relief of the battle of Atlanta, and the left side represents the march to the sea. The whole is surmounted with an equestrian statue of Sherman as he appeared on the field. Ideas of Two Artists. William Ordway Partridge of New York, who is lecturer on fine arts at the Columbian University in this city, submitted two moa- els. In his first design the artist almed at great stability in man and horse, and en- deavored to carry the same monumental feeling throughout the pedestal, carefully eliminating every detail which might inter- fere with the simplicity of the whole design. It is intended to impress the beholder with and clean, simple architectural lines, rather than with any picturesque “ef- fect. As described by the artist, it is a statue of a great soldier and victorious lead- er, and so far as he knows, there is no sim- ilar design in existence throughout the world. The horse is represented in thorough repose. The pedestal is of granite in Re- naissance, and the equestrian statue is of bronze. Panels on the four sides of the pedestal are inscribed with suggestive his- torical words. The design as a whole 1s one of the simplest of the entire collection. The second model submitted by Mr. Part- ridge represents the horse in action, with the rider firmly seated in the saddle in a manner of soldierly dignity. The pedestal is a combination of graceful curves and lines thoughtfully executed. The monument is more decorative, but less monumental, than model No. 1. It ts composed of the same materi: Mr. Edwin M. Van Note of New York, one of the youngest artists in the competition, submits a fine design. The pedestal is reach- ed by a flight of ten steps, which are in- terrupted at the corners by pedestals bear- ing the stars and stripes encircling globes resting on the outspread wings of four eagles. The pedestal is flanked on either side ty four Corinthian columns, support- ing an entablature carried out in the same order. In the frieze eagles are introduced, one over each column. The front of the monument projects so as to admit of the use, of two additional columns and pilasters, between which and on a circular base stands the figure of Victory holding in one hand a laurel wreath and in the other a tattered battle flag, bearing the names of Gen. Sher- man’s victories. This circular base also bears bas relief of two boys holding flags and supporting a tablet bearing the name of Sherman, and ornamented with laurel and palms and a representation of the national arms. The whole is surmounted by an equestrian statue of Sherman. The figure is shown in repo: and represents the rider carefully surt ing the field. The horse, while standing quietly, is alert, and seems to be interested in what is going on. The monument is to be constructed of granite, with the exception of General Sherman and horse and the fig- ure of Victory, which are to be of bronze. Work of the Artist. In general the model submitted by Prof. L Amates of Columbian University of this city may be cescribed ag a propelio rep- resenting the celebrated march through Georgia, with Sherman well mounted occupying a prominent position in the front and figures of soldiers making an artistic background. On one side of the structure stands an allegorical statue of Valor, with a similar statue of Strategy on the opposite side. On the back is a bas relief representation of the battle of At- lanta. The top is finished in the form of a pinnacle, composed of two American eagles defending the national flag. It has the ap- pearance ef an srch of triumph, but the author says that that is not a proper de- scription. He says he endeavored to sub- mit something entirely new and original, and so had broken away from the old type of equestrian statuary with a pedestal sur- mounted by a horse and rider. This is said to be the only model submitted that was designed entirely by one man, the others being the joint productions in’ each case of a sculptor and an architect. Mr. James E. Kelly of New York con- tributes a model, the details of which he claims to be physically and historically ac- curate, having been, he says, assisted in its preparation by Gen. Sherman himself. Ac- cording to Mr. Kelly, it aims at being a thoroughly historical erection, rather than an architectural production. The pyramid of the base is symbolical of the United States seal, set on a bronze band, in which are displayed twelve bas reliefs, also in bronze, representing important incidents in Sherman’s career during the civil war. On the front of the structure is a representa- tion of the general's sword, and, on the rear is a shicld, upon which is incorporated representations of all the corps badges of the Army of the Tennessee, which are in turn surrounded by the badges of the Army of the Cumberland, and those of the signal, engineer and cavalry corps. The horse surmounting the pedestal is shown picking his way through “Sherman's hairpins,” which articles derive their name from the picturesque shape resembling hairpins in which the rails of, all the rail- roads Sherman passed on his march to the sea were twisted by the soldiers on their march. Sherman's dress and accouter- ments, including the well-known slouch hat, are displayed to the minutest details precisely the same as when he was on his celebrated march. On the panoramic panel encircling the base are representations of Grant, McDowell, Wilson, Newton, Howard, Logan, Stanley, Jeff C. Davis and Kil- patrick, Gen. Sherman's famous associates during the war. Mr. Kelly was assisted in the making of this design by Mr. Randolph M. C. Ewer. Reining in His Horse. Mr. Adrian Jones cf New York has se- lected for his work a period during the war showing Sherman reining in his horse on a battlefield and encouraging his men on to victory. The plinth, representing rough esrth, has on its front three soldiers, one each of the infantry, artillery and cavalry. A fine allegorical figure of Fame stands behind the pedestal, inscribing Sher- man’s name on a shield of enduring granite. Over al! stands the equestrian statue of Shermang He is seated with his face to the left, with arm extended, holding his hat aioft. The idea of s.mplicity is well carried cut in the execution of this model. It is pro- vided with panels for appropriate historical inscriptions. Mr. J. Massey Rhind of New York ex- hibits a model which is of massive pyr midal character, approached by large steps with seats on the side of the surrounding parapet walls. Four soldiers in bronze,rep- DR SHADES: 21 CHLORIDUM Discovery for Consumption Well Tested. The Shade Chloridum Company, Washington, D.

A delicate bas relief, representing Victory rewarding he- roes, is displayed on the front of the base, where there are also shields showing the badges of different corps. Also on the front is a large panel with an architectural frame. Sherman is represented mounted on his horse and surrounded by his men on their march to the sea, the figures being in alto relief. Two allegorical figures rep- resenting Fortitude and Good Generalship stand on either side of the main structure. Surmounting the whole is an equestrian statue representing Sherman in the act of addressing his troops. The whole composi- tion is of @he Greek order. Mr. Rhind was assisted in its architectural details by Mr. Dahler Tangen of New Yori A model is contributed by Mr. H. J. Elli- cott, sculptor, and Mr. William Bruce Gray, architect, both of this city. The design shows an equestrian statue of Gen. Sher- man in command on the ficld of battle, placed on a pedestal twenty-three feet high, and the statue being fifteen high makes the entire height of the structure thirty-eight feet. The figures of Victory and Fame are shown on the sides of the pedestal, with figures of War and Peace at the ends. The four branches of the service are represented by standard bearers. It is proposed to build the monument of Amer- ican red granite, the shafts-of columns at corners of pedestal to be polished. The platform of exedra is to be of Tennessee marble, mosaic or tile, in color to har- monize with red granite: All the figures will be of bronze, including bas reliefs on walls of exedra.

J. Dunbar. It is simple and chaste in design, but has been singu- larly unfortunate in its handlirg. Accord- ing to their statement to the committee, the haste of preparation of the model “has excluded most of the charms of pretty fin- ish and detail.” It shows a fine equestrian statue of Sherman, in which that soldier is represented in the act of raising his hat in salute to the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, the American people and pos- terity. The statue and plinth are of bronze, and the pedestal is of Georgia mar- ble. At each end of the pedestal are four allegorical figures, the two at the front be- ing those of a sold'er and a negro. The latter represents slavery, which Sherman finds looming in front of his career, and which he is attacking with armed force, represented by a soldier on the correspond- ing corner, leaving in his wake at the two rear ccrners Victory upholding the laurel- decked flag and Liberty upholding the Constitution. All four of these figures give a hand to holding up the shields on panels on either side of the rectangular pedestal, | which are to be inscribed according to the wish of the commission.

GEN. It Went Through the War With Him, Though It Annoyed Lee. From the Chicago Times-Herald. When General Mahone first entered the southern army he was an almost hopeless dyspeptic. He had suffered for many years | the uncertain and untimely effects of that | exasperating malady. He thought he should | have fresh milk every day in the field, for it had formed a part of his daily dict at | home, so he took a cow into the army and | carried the beast with him all through the | war. | Gen. Mchone often related the annoyances the cow caused him, One time Gen. Lee came to him after the cow had been in the way and said: “General, you will have to leave that cow behind.” jak “I cannot do it, sir,” Mahone replied. “If we cannot get along with the cow I will have | to resign.” | So the cow remained, and she was actually at Gen. Mahone’s camp on that memorable April day when Lee surrendered to Grant at ‘Appomattox. Gen. Mahone took the animal bome to Petersburg afterward. The general was noted also in the army for the complete houschold outfit he car- ried. With cooking utensils he was partizu- larly well supplied,and he afterward boasted that he lived just as well in the army as he lived later In Washington. He had sup- plied his camp wagons with a full outfit of bedding and household contrivances, and, though the war was a perpetual “moving day” for him, he often said that if he had another war to go through he would do the same way. —_——+e+____ The Disappenrance of the Q: From the Spectator. We take it that the Quaker idea of cul- tivating “the stillness and the quietness” which has so great an effect upon their children’s education is identical in effect with that practice of “retreat” for which | thousands of minds in our fussy generation have so deep, and we may add so ineffec- | tual, a longing. Even their peculiarities of dress and language have long since ceased to excite ridicule and are hardly more dis- tinctive than those of earnest socialists, or | of the newest successful Protestant denom- | ination. Perfect toleration, however, which has benefited so many creeds, has almost killed the Quakers, and in the hour of triumph of their most prominent ideas, their so- ciety is dying, or nearly dying, of want of votaries. They have leavened the commun- ity and they are being absorbed into it. One would have thought that thousands of families would have joined their commun- fon as a kind of intellectual “retreat” safe from the pressure of a battling world, but it is not so, and if they have not for a few years. actually decreased, they are never without the apprehension that, in this country at least, they may disappear, swal lowed up in the multitude of those who agree with and yet do not belong to their | commvnion. ] | | | Word comes from all quarters that the neatest and most satisfactory dye for coloring the bewrd & brown or black is Buckinguam’s Dye for the Whiskers. | my WHY KISSING IS PLEASANT. One Man ts Delighted That Edison Didn't Invent 1. The reason kissing is so pleasant, says an osculatcry expert of scientifi: tendencies, is hecause the tecth, jaw bones and lips are full of nerves, and when the lips of persons meet an electric current is generated, and you don’t have to have a dynamo machine nor a battery in the house, nor a call box, nor a button to touch to ring up the central office, and there is no patent on it, and the peorest person in the world can enjoy the electric current better than the millionaire, anf it never gets out of order. If Edison haa invented kissing it would cost $10) a ear, like the telephone, and then extra kiss- ing would be charged up extra, and if you didn’t pay for it they would take out your kissaphone and disconnect you from the central office, Ss The Natural Way.
