TIE snuNENIK COINS.

Artists particularly who have beer
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 model, says the
Chicago journal.
Mr. Turner is proud of these casts
They are the work of his friend, O. L.
Warner and illustrate what the SOuUeniI
half. dollar might have been had the dies
been properly made by the engravers al
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 10y the Government.
BY comparison with Mr.. Turner's casts
one may easily see that the Columbus
portrait, as it appears on the com, is a
very poor rendering of the artists origi-
nal work. Columbus on the cast has
strong lines of character, and an express
siyn of individuality which is wholly
wanting in the face on the half-dollar.
The one is the portrait of a man; the
other the hoplessly placid outline of a
lifeless lay figure.
Mr.. 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.
1T is quite on level with the Usual
work of the mint" said Mr.. Turner,
when the discrepancies in the coin were
commented upon.
"a very similar bOtch was made of the
dollar issued at the beginning of the
year. A competition was announced and
hundreds of designs were sent in, but the
mint authorities rejected all and fell back
on their own man. A good opportunity
to produce AN artistic coin was lost then,
and better opr ortunity has been spoiled
now. 1t is no wonder that people are
saying that the Sourenjr half-dollar is not
like Columbus They don't know as a
matter of fact, what Columbus was like,
but they have q pretty clear idea that he
was not the death mask the coin repre-
sents him to be.
Another cause of complaint on the
part of those who cIiticise the artistic
merits or dement's of the SOuUenir coin is
that the design is entirely too tlat-that
is, has a 'muggy, "indistinct appearance,
and that, unlike the best of the ordinary
issue Of silver currency, there is lack of
''cleannesS III the work. 1t is pointed
out that the Philadelphia mind, through
Capt. Barber or some other responsible
official, has in the new souvenirs simply
accentuated an incompetence that has
been hitherto frequently exhibited in
badly engraved coins.

FRAUD BYIMMIGRANr SHIPS.

Since the placing of restrictions upon
immigration various devices of fraud are
resorted to by immigrant ships. One of
these is the registering of Objectionable
immigrants as visitors" forward cabin
passengers" etc. On the 14th inst.
Ellen Moody and her five children from
England landed at Philadelphia from the
steamship Ohio. 1t was ascertained that
they came to this country destitute, and
were detained at the place of landing till
purse could be made up to forward
them to their destination. The case was
brought to the attention of the author
tiles at Washington, and it was found
that they had been registered as "visi-
tors" Mrs Moody herself and the ship
cOmpany's agents cOntened that the wO-
man and her children were visitors with
in the meaning of the government circu-
lar, but all the same it has been ordered
that they be sent back at the cOmpany's
expense. She is now at the almshOuse
of Fayette county, Penn, but will be
ready to sail when the ship departs.
The incident shows the determinatIon of
the steamship companies to evade or defy
the laws of this country and to unload
upon us those whom the countries of
Europe are anxious to be rid of.
This question ofithe restriction of ina
migration is going to be a very perplex-
ing one, and change Of administration
is likely to make it more annoying to the
people of this country, as the Democratic
party is exhibiting opposition to any eff
fective measures. Even If there is inter
ruption at our ports, a thoroughfare will
be found through Canada and Mexico,
and the very worst classes will be sent
by these overland routes. The conduct
of England in making this country the
dumping ground of her paupers and
criminals would be considered by her a
sufficient cause for war if she were treated
in like manner by some other pauper
scourged nation. 1t might have some eff
feet if our government were to forbid
the landing at any port of the United
States of the ships of any company that
were detected in unloading immigrants

destined to this country at either Cana
dian or Mexican ports. But it is useless
to look for any such measure ofrestraint
as long as the Democratic party is in
power. Without doubt the policy of that
party as proclaimed at Chicago would be
as effective as any to keep the intending
immigrant at home if it were vigorously
applied, for free trade would make it
very undesirable for the immigrant to
come here unless he were promised in
advance place in the almshOuse or on
the New York police The organized
labor of the country may have had just
this result ia view when it voted soldly
for Cleveland and free trade. When
wages fall to the European level, and
men by the hundred thousand are thrown
out of employment by the suppression of
our industries, not only will the foreign
immigrant be glad to stay at home, but
thousands upon thousands of those al
ready here and now earning large wages
will return to the countries from which
they came. The Democratic policy will
go right down to the very root of this i'm
migration evil if the party has the cour-
age to carry tinto effect-Troy Telegram.

RECORD OF RIDING.
NOW THE SADDLE HAS DEvEL-
OPED FROM EARLY TIMES.
Way In Which 1t Was Fashioned by
Different NatiOns-Some Saddles
Are Very Richly and Curl
ously Ornamented.

~ VERY Nation brings q new

logue-the Mameluke, his OF
crimson velvet; the Tartar,
polished wood; the Persian, painted
gilt and inlaid with ivory; the Moor,
scarlet velvet; the Sicilian, gaudy
bead; the Soudanese, sewn with
gazelle sinew and covered with croco-

decorated; the Bokhaean, painte d
wood interset with bone; while from
Bombay and the Punjaub come those
of purple and silver; from the South
Sea Island, saddles decorated with
cowrie shells, and Iceland sends a
species Of chair covered with repousse
brass.
Some idea of the Importance of sad
dlery will be received when it is said
that England exports to foreign ports
annually an amount of saddlery and
harness that is valued at half million
of pounds. None of this comes to this
country, where it is believed that
American leather is the best in the
world. All saddles are made on the
Mcclellan model, used alike for civil
and military purposes. This consists

E266 lbs. 4d. to David Smyth, the
Queens embroiderer, for a side saddle
of black velvet richly embroidered
with gold and pearls, and the harness,
ETC., of silk and gold.
The saddle under the reign of James
I. became less elegant, but Charles /.
who attempted to revive knightly GUS
toms, returned to the sumptuous sad
die. His state saddle was gorgeous
affair, being of crimson velvet richly
embroidered, while the saddle-cloth,
also of crimson velvet, was covered
thickly with seed pearls. The head
stalls, reins and stirrup-leathers were
also luxurious and effective
Oliver Cromwell used a large, plain
tapped saddle, very heavy and cum
brous, like the ponderous Flemish an
imal he bestrode. The next century
brought the type of saddle which, with
various minor changes influenced by
military requirements, has survived
unto the present day, and which does
not seem likely to be superseded in
the main lines of it's construction.

The Apache renegade ssKid," who
now seems to be completing Vic
toria's bloody work in the Southwest,
is member of the San Carlos tribe of
the Apache Nation, so named from the
fact that their home camps are
stretched along the San Carlos River,
a small permanent tributary of the
Gila River from the north. The San
Carlos reservation In Arizona COM
prises about the best available farm
ing region and cattle district of the
Territory, now perfectly useless to
settlers and the home of about 5000
Apaches and Moiaves.
In 1881 "Kid" was q young Indian
living on the reservation-tall, clear
eyed, handsome, for an Indian, and
well formed. Up to this time, when
he was about twenty years of age, he
had not been off the reservation, and
had become favorite with officers
whose duty took them there.
At about this time Lieutenant Fran
els J. A.. Darr, United States Army,
one of the most experienced and sue
cessful of Indian trailers, returned
from scouting the country to the north
and recruited his company of Indian
scouts at San Carlos, enlisting among

that 'sKid' was a superior Indian
always. He was q thinker and not in
clined to participate in all the vices of
hisrace, and, besides, he had peculiar

utensils and appliances of war and
peace to show the growth in the
matter Of dress and all affairs
connected with actual life. The tribes,
whose beginning nobody knows, have
sent tents and pottery which might be
mistaken for relics of the Pharoahs.
Brown descendants of some Oriental
band contribute from distant Sitka
and Mexico images and monuments
cut with strange hieroglyphics and
bronze utensils which show skill
worthy modern handicraft. Recent
races send peace pipes and crude
dresses and weird combinations In
ivory, all helping to unravel the
science of man.
The American Indian receives much
attention, with several sections de-
voted to his rise and fall 1t is quite
probable that the best collection IN
this line is the one made by d. B.
