MISS REHAN IN COLD SILVER.
The Measurement Figures OF Woman
who 10 Almost Perfect Venus.
[Chicago Daily Tribune.


What single thing on exhibition at
the Worlds Columbian Exposition of
1893 will attract most attention and
cause most comment?
In all probability it will be a statue
in the Montana State building.
Why? There are several reasons. In
the first place it will be the largest
statue of its kind ever made, in that it
will be eight feet high, including the
pedestal, and of solid silver. Though
there are stories of ancient statues of
fabulous size and value, sculptors agree
that in all probability no solid silver
statue larger than four feet in height
was ever made. ..
The statue will also attract attention
because of its great value. The intrin-
sic worth of the silver is $35, 900, and
the sculptor is to receive $40, 900 for his
work. Making a reasonable estimate
of the cost Of making the statue it rep
resents at least $4,000, aside from its
value as work of art.
In brief the statue is that of wo-
man after the severely Greek style OF
sculpture. She wears a single gar
ment which leaves arms, neck and up
per bust bare, and falls just below the
knee. A girdle about the waist loosely
confines the drapery. On her head is
diadem. In her left hand, which is
raised above her head, she holds the
scales in which gold and silver balance
each other, thus symbolizing Montana's
stand on the silver question. In her
right hand, which falls at her side, is
drawn sword. She stands on a globe
two feet in diameter, which is sup
posed to be floating in the clouds.
But it is not because of its size, or be-
cause of its value in dollars and cents,
or even because of its artistic merit
that this statue in the Montana build
ing will attract such attention. It is
because Of two other reasons.
It is the figure of the perfect woman
from the physical standpoint. 1t is the
figure of a woman known all over the
English-speakiDg world-Miss Ada
Rehan.
When Montana decided to show
auch a statue in its mining exhibit a
committee appointed by the State
came to Chicago in search of a sculptor
and model. It found the sculptor in
R. n. Park, 1,s43 Michigan avenue. In
the search for q model the committee
was at first unsuccessful. Half dozen

Gould applied to farmer for food and
showed him the pass book, and then
he learned that his employer had failed
in business half dozen times. and that
his credit was at low tide.
Thoroughly worn out and dis
heartened, young Gould departed with
out his supper, and went out into the
fields and had a good cry. He cried
easily when he was boy. In testify
ing before committee of the Federal
Senate in 1883 Mr.. Gould told of this
youthful experience. He said that the
landlord at tavern told him his en-
ployer was scamp and worthless man,
and demanded of the boy two shillings
and sixpence for board. II naturally

lHere Mr.. Gould spoke earnestly and

not to go home. I shut my lips together
and resolved to go ahead, and if must
needs be die in the last ditch"
He got his next meal by making a
noon mark for farmer who gave him

earned many dollars, kept on with the
survey of Ulster County. went home

$500.

his credit in the world, and with the
peculiar knowledge that his father con-
sidered him no good on the farm. The
boy was then IL years of age.
1t Hobart the boy was to show by
what he did that he was as little like
most of the other boys as be seemed.
The principal of the academy found in
the village blacksmith man who
would board and lodge the boy in re-
turn for the keeping of his books and
accounts by young Jay. The lad
worked persistently by day and by
night at his studies and the black
smiths books and completed the course
at the academy, spending his Sundays
with his father, for his mother had
died when he was IL years Of age. On
leaving school he got place as clerk
in tin shop in Hobart, and 1T Is years
of age was partner and manager OF
the business.
Not only that, but this amazing boy
was up at daybreais every day to pur-
sue the study Of surveying and such
engineering as be found books and in
struments to help him to. Moreover,
when the elder Gould sold his farm
young Jay took him into the tin shop
on salary. Leaving his father IN
charge there he engaged with some
surveyors at $40 month to help make
a survey for map of Ulster County.
His employers gave him little pass
book, which he said would be useful tc
him on the road. The farmers who
gave Jay Gould anything to eat were
to put it down in this pass book, and
the employer would come on afterwaro
and foot the bills. Tired and hungry

tions back the Jewish blood was in his
family, or that Mr.. Gould was aware OF
its existence in him. But !both the
names-Jason or Jay and Could
served to strengthen this belief in those
who held it. The twisted form "Gould"
was suspected of being changed from
"Gold," which is common prefix in
the names of inanimate and natural
objects which certain Jews in Europe
were compelled to adopt as surnames
in one period of their history. His
habits of thought and his extraordinary
intellect were both Jewish, these per-
sons assert with how much or little
basis in the actual fact of bis origin no
one can ever decide.
Mr.. Gould was certainly American
in the character and extent of his self
creation and success. Born Of poor par
ents on poorer farm he began to make
money to pay his way through school,
and he was partner in business enter
prises while yet lad. He got richer
and richer by the fairest means aud by
means that caused him to be the man
most cordially disliked by the public OF
all the conspicuous men Of his day. He
has died with between sixty and sew
enty-fve millions of dollars, inheriting
none and marrying none that united in
his vast estate.
Itwas in Roxbury, Delaware County,
that Jay Could was born on May q,
1886. Roxbury is tiny village in the
Catskill Mountain region. The Goulds
had moved there not long after the
Revolutionary War and yay's father,
John B. Gould, was the first white male
child born in the county. His birth

The loss which gold coin suffers in
circulation was illustrated in the Cus-
tom House yesterday. George w :.
Sheldon & Co., sent SIS, 900 in gold coin
to pay duties on imports, and the
amount was counted and sent over to
the Sub Treasury. A little while later
the Sub-Treasurer sent it back with
notice that the amount was Sl,sS5
short. On investigation it was found
that though the face value of the coin
was SIS, 900, by weight the gold lacked
nearly $1,000 of that value. The pay
ing bank was notified and sent q gold
certificate for the balance.

and some TO crafty passion regardless
of the consequences.

yearly at Columbus TO enact laws to
protect our liberty and especially our
personal liberty as they term 1t, which

has enhanced them.

demands it.
The human slaughter lately com.

and the cause which led to it Is ap-
