THE SOUVENIR COINS.
The Designers Work Said to Have Been
Spoiled by the Engrayer.
[Chicago Journal.

[Chicago Journal.1
Artists particularly, who have been
among the first to secure specimens of
the souvenir coins, express their disap-
pointment.
Over the desk in Artist c. V. Turner's
Office at Jackson Park, hang two plaster
casts of the original model for the
Worlds Fair dedication medal.
Mr.. Turner is proud of these casts.
They are the work of his friend, O. l..
Warner, and illustrate what the souVe-
mir half-hollar might have been had the
dies been properly made by the engray-
ers at the Philadelphia Mint.
Mr.. Warner designed both the medal
and the half dollar, using the same head
of Columbus for each, and he regrets
now, for the sake of his reputation as an
artist, that his model for the latter was
accepted by the government
By comparison with Mr.. Turner's casts
one may easily see that the Columbus
portrait as it appears on the coin is very
poor rendering of the artists original
work. Columbus on the cast has strong
lines of character and an expression OF
individuality which is wholly wanting in
the face on the half dollar. The one is
the portrait Of a man; the other the
hopelessly placid outline of a lifeless lay
figure.
MI. Turner is very indignant, as in
deed are all artists who have seen the
original design, that the work should
have been spoiled by the crude abilities
of an incompetent engraver.
sit is quite on level with the usual OF
work of the mint" said Mr.. Turner to-
day, when the discrepancies in the coin
were commented upon. "a very SINH
lar botch was made of the dollar issued
at the beginning of the year. A compe-
| tition was announced and hundreds OF
| designs were sent it, but the mint au-
thorities rejected all and fell back on
| their own man. A good opportunity to
produce an artistic coin was lost then,
and a better opportunity has been
spoiled now. 1t is no wonder that peo-
pie are saying that the souvenir hall
dollar is not like Columbus They do
! not know, as matter or fact, what Co

clear idea that he was not the death

AnOrnef cause OIL cOiHUldiHu oH oiiS
part of those who criticise the artistic
merits of the souvenir coin is that the
design is entirely too fat--that it has
''muggy,'' indistinct appearance, and
| that, unlike the best of the ordinary Is
sues of silver currency, there is lack Of
.scleanness'' in the work. 1t is pointed
out that the Philadelphia Mint, through
| Capt Barber or some other responsible
officials, has in the new souvenirs simply
accumulated an Incompetence that has
been hitherto frequently exhibited in
badly engraved coins.

immigration statistics for the past
year have now been compiled, and the
result shows that we received no less
than 1853, 4s6 foreigners during 1892, not
withstanding the great restriction that
has been put upon immigration by the
Presidents order of a 20 days quaran-
tine for steamships coming from cholera
infected ports, which has been in force
since August. immigration during the
spring and summer was heavier than
in any former years since emigrants be-
gan to come to these shores, and had it
not been for the cholera scare it is
thought all past years records would
have been collapsed. The increasing mum
bers that came in November and Decem-
Der, after the falling off in September
and October, shows what may be ex-
pected in the coming season unless
congressional action is taken to restrict
or prohibit it.

The hot-headed and wrong-headed agi-
tators who preeipitated the contest at
Homestead if they have any consciences
left, must keenly feel the pangs of re-
morse when they look upon the Home
stead Of today and contrast it with the
Homestead of few months ago. Be-
fore the strike it was one of the most
prosperous villages in Pennsylvania
The workingmen who resided there
were happy and contented. Many of
them owned their houses and had laid
by something for a rainy day. Now,
says the Philadelphia Press, the entire as
pect of the town has changed. The
streets are deserted, and the majority of
the workingmen seen upon its thorough
fares stand shivering in the lee of shell
tered buildings. The day of promised
wrath has come upon this town, one of
the most prosperous formerly in all
Pennsylvania. Strike, advisory commit
tee and happy homes have been broken.
Men whose life interests apparently were
conferred around the place are in prison,
have disappeared OF have gone to distant
States to begin life over again at one

half, or one third, the wages which they
received for years in the mills of this
place. Hundreds of those who remain
are burden upon the bounties OF the
people of the State; are compelled, they
and their wives and children, to eat the
bread of charity and warm themselves
at the fires lighted by the hands of phi
lanthropy. The story of Homestead
is the story of nine-tenths of the strikes
in this country, though the evidence of
the suffering and loss wrought by them
is seldom so striking as in this case.

The talk INDUCED in by the orators at
the Jackson celebration about the great
uprising of the people in behalf of the
Democracy, and the personal triumph Of
Mr.. Cleveland is nonsense. Mr.. Cleve-
land was more than a million
votes in the minority. Considering the
growth of the country he was not so
strong as he was four years ago. He
owes his victory chiefly to secessions
from the Republicans that did not go to
him but to third candidate, thus giving
him plurality.

Both disputants are right, each having
got hold of part of the story. Wash
ington was born on February II, 1882,
according to the calendar which was
then in use He was born on February
20, 1882, according to the calendar which
is now in use. Up to 1852 England, an d
of course America, which was her col
ony, used the Julian calendar. In that
year the English Parliament decreed
that the Gregorian calendar should be
substituted for the Julian. So the dis
putant who says the government changed
the date after Washington was born is in
a sense right. But it was not an arbi-
trary change. 1t was made to correct an
error resulting from the wrong reckon
my Vi. LILO ulldA CdlOho6l. liz oaoP0
tant who claims that it was due to reck-
oning 3654 days in the year evidently
has vague idea of the trouble. The
calendar used in England up to 1852 was
tile calendar established by Julius Caesar.
This calendar made the civil year consist
of 3654 days, which was almost IA min
utes longer than the solar year. OF
course the effect of this discrepancy was
after the lapse of centuries to put the
civil year considerably behind the solar
year. In the 10Th century the spring
equinox, which when Julius Caesar re-
formed the calendar fell on the 25th OF
March, had fallen back to the eleventh.
In that century Pope Gregory reformed
the calendar, setting forward the dates
of the Julian calendar so that the spring
equinox fell on the 21st instead of the
I1th-the twenty-first being the day on
which it was fixed by the council OF
Nice in 325. In short Pope Gregory set
forward every date in the Julian calendar
ten days. The English, however, contin-
ued to use the Julian calendar century
longer, and when they abandoned it for
the Gregorian the discrepancy of ten
| days had increased to eleven days.
Hence they had to set forward the dates
of the Julian calendar eleven days.
Thus Washington was born on February
| II of the Julian calendar and on Febru-
airy % of the Gregorian calendar. The
Gregorian calendar is now in use in al
civilized countries except Russia. Its
superiority over the Julian is that il
keeps the civil and solar year much
closer together, the error amounting to
only one day in $500 years.

"A ScandalOuS riage.

NYAcK, n. Y, July 2S. = The
marriage of old John Needy and
Young Jennie Shelly has just ended
a scandal that greatly worried the
people Of Sloatsburg and peighbor-
ing villages. Needy is shoemaker
and is 90 years Old. After the death
of his wife, aged 20, some three
months ago, his household affairs be-
cam. demoralized and pretty Jennie
Shelly. a sixteen year-old grand
daughter of his deceased wife, be-
came his housekeeper.
The neighbors soon took ofense at
what they regarded as a scandalous
state of affairs, especially as it be-
came noised about that Jennie was
Medly's own granddaughter, and the
two we've threatened with tar and
feather by a whitecap committee. Med
ly and his fair young housekeeper
endured tins treatment for time, but
finally won't to Squire Wanamaker
and got married. No sooner had
they returned home and bolted them
selves in than a detachment of the
tar-and-feather brigade appeared
and attempted to get hold of the
aged bridegroom.
When it was announced through a
crack in the door that the two had
been married, and when this an
noucement was supplemented by
two crisp bills thrown from window
with request that the crowd drink
to the health of the bride and groom
at neighboring tavern, the COM
pletely Modified whitecaps quietly
stole away.

THE COMSTOCK OUTLOOK.
More DiscOuraging Than it Has
Been For Years.

The situation on the Comstock to-
day is about as bad, if not worse than
it has been since the discovery of the
Lode. The result of the Hale q
Norcross assessment, is a straw
showing how the wind blows.
There was about $4,000 shares out
when the assessment was levied and
60, 600 were thrown back on the
companys hands.
Such thing has not happened
before Men are too poor to pay
| assessments, and what is true of the
Hale d Norcross is true of the other
stocks, and is merely cited as an il
| lustration.
Not over $50 men are at work
now, and the question to be faced
is the reduction of wages from
81 90 to $500 day
| The mine owners say that they
cannot work the low grade ore and
pay $500, but at $500 a day they
can put 900 men to work.
Unless the Miners Union assents
to this agreement, the mines Will be
| closed down. Some say that slid
ing scale of wages, dependent ON the
price of silver, whuld be accepted by
the men, the wages to be restored
with the restoration Of silver to its
old value.
The miners held that they ought
not to be asked to reduce wages, sc
long as the officers get such salaries
To meet this objection the officers
salaries have been cut down from 2;
to 90 per cent.

duced the freight on ore from S2.5C
to S1.O0 carload, to the mills, anc
other things in proportion.

1t was rumored yesterday that to
dav the Miners Union would give al
answer to the proposition OF re-
duction in wages, and if it stands b.
its old scale, the mines will close
down; at least until silver is remon-
etized. If the mines close, 1t is no
unlikely that the V. 81 7. car shop
in this city will follow suit.
