The first modeling in clay of what will eventually be a large bronze statue of the late Frederick Douglass stands completed in the abandoned First Methodist Protest- ant Chureh, on Virginia avenue southeast between Sth and Gth streets, the work of Mr. S. W. Edwards of Westerly, RL. st will be made, and from the plaster cast the bronze molding. The statue when finally completed in the richest of bronze will stand eight feet in height and will be erected in Rochester, N. Y., where Mr. Douglass spent a great portion of his life. It will rest upon a handsome granite pedestal, ten feet or more in height, bringing the entire work to a height of nearly twenty feet. Mr. Edwards has been at work on the clay model for several months. It has been inspected from time to time by mem- bers of the Douglass family and by persens who were familiar with the renowned col- ored leader when he was at the zenith of his career. All have pronounced the work excellent, not alone in the remarkable like- ness about the face,and head, but the pose of the figure and the delineation of the subject’s character in every line of the facial expression and in the haif pleading gesture of the hands: The sculptor has succeeded remarkably well in portraying the character of a man whose dominant characteristic was stability of purpose and firmness. This is expressed in the position of the figure on the pedestal—a firm foot- ing, erect head and great, broad, squared shoulder. The sculptor has also been hap- py in his conception of the man’s work. With his hands Douglass did nothing; by his appeals to his fellow-men, much. ‘Therefore the arms are lowered; the hands, palms upturned, are pleading. ————_--— COMPANY FILES ANSWER. Beg! Proceedings in Teleph versy Pending in ‘The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, through counsel, Mr. J. M. Wil- son, today filed an answer to the petition for mandamus instituted against the com- pany by Orren G. Staples. The answer is to all intents practically the same as that filed yesterday in the injunction case of James F, Manning & Co., in which the ground is taken that the act of Congress fixing the maximum rate of renial for ‘phones at $50 per annum applies only to the public service telephones of the District government, such as fire alarm and police "phones, and that the telephone company cannot furnish private "phones ut the rate prescribed without great loss. The right of Congress to pass a law that would make the company lose money in obeying it is cuestioned. Mr. Staples seeks to have the telephone company furnish him telephones at the National, the and Willard’s Hotels at the $50 rate ‘ixed by law. In the erate Fy admitted — a Staples tendered $37.50 in payment of three months’ rental on the three ‘phones, which was refused. The company offered to fur- rsh him the telephones desired if he would agree to pay their established rates ‘This case, together with —— of the junction suits, will come up a hearing Justice Hagner in Equity dj FOUND SHOT AND CHOPPED Cumberland Soldier Writes of the Fate a Schley Testimonial Mass Meeting te Re Hel@ at Oakland Tuesday Next—River Pollation. Special Dicpateh te The Rveping Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., July 22—Emanuet C. Harturg, a Cumberland boy, who was in the fights previous to the capitulation of Santiago, being 2 member of Battery G, ith Artillery, writes to his sister, Miss Min- nie Hartung, this city, of some unique ex- periences. He says “When we arrived at Baiquiri some of the boys of the 22d Infantry went out to get cocoanuts, and as they did not return Sccuts were sent out to look for them. AN were found shot to death, their faces chopped up and bodies mutilated. “One of our soldiers went out in the woods yesterday and happened to see two guns lyiag under a tree. Looking up he discovered two Spaniards picking fruit ot both, and placing one each shoulder brought the Dons into prismers. paniards fired on the Red Cross flag, and at one time raised a Dlack flag, which meant that they would kill all rd, of course, expected the ment should they fall into our He promptly s on same as. “1 found that the papers did not exag- Five Berate the condition of the Cubans. thcusand were landed a few miles below where we are now camping; some had not encugh clothes to make a dish rag of, a few had shoes, half starved. so hungry food. told u: a while a major portion was We fed them and they were they began fighting over the Some of them, who spoke English, they had eaten nothing for five after walking thirty-five miles to h the boat.” General Joseph Sprigg, chairman of the executive committee on the Schley testt- montal, has been notified that a public mass meeting will be held at Oakland next Tuesday to inaugurate the movement in Garrett county. General Sprigg, Colonel George A. Pearre and Ferdinand Williams will be among the speakers. Cyrus F. Flook, editor of the Frederick Examiner, wrote General Sprigg, proffering movement and saying of Schle: «During his booyhood days this office Was his accustomed loafing place, his un- cle being proprietor of the paper for many years.” Mr. Flook thinks Commodore Schley would select Frederick county, where be spent his childhood days, in which to lo- cate the proposed country seat. A sugges- tion coming from Mayor Malster of Balti- taore has been adopted. He thought tt un- wise to limit the subscriptions to a dollar. He said: “I think offerings of any sum should be taken, and that theaters, schools, clubs and other organizations desiring to give exhibitions for the purpose of donating re- ceipts should not be discouraged.” Citizens of Cumberland propose to appeal to the health commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia, and finally to Congress, if the pollution of the Potomac river can not be stopped by any other means. The West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company, which is to stand trial at Frederick in Sep- tember for polluting the stream, has been actively engaged preparing a defense. A nvumber of expert chemists have lately vis- ited Piedmont to make analysis of the wa ter. Since January 1 last the company has manufactured more than 24,000,000 pounds of paper and pulp. The United States pestal card works, which are supplied bY this company, are turning out 2,100,000 cards in each day of eight hours. When rushed, 2,700,000 cards are made each day. There is considerable feeling at Mountain Lake Park regarding the opening of the post office on Sunday. A post office in- Spector notified Postmaster Sperry to open the post office one hour each Sunday. The Post Office Department was at once com- municated with and the order rescinded. Mountain Lake is known as a religious community, and the stockholders of the park association passed a resolution pro- testing against the Sunday opening of th post office. There is a difference of optn ton among the patrons, and a fight over the matter Is in prospect. An audience of 1,300 persens, which assembled in the au- ditorium, voted against opening the office on Sunday. MARRIED. \—PERKINSON.
