Four Enlarged Models Now Set Up
for Inspection.
EXPLANATIONS BY THE ARTISTS
The Ideas They Intended to Con-

THE AWARD COMMITTEE

Everybody interested in the artistic
adorrment Of the public parks Of Wash
ington, and that includes almost every
person in the United States. is interested
in the result of the perding competition
of designs for the proposed equestrian
statue of Gen. Sherman to be erected on
the NORTH east corner Of the reservation
Immediately south of the Treasury Depart
ment building. This statue will undoubt-
eddy be the most pretentious of any yet
erected in this city to perpetuate the men,
Cry of any Of the military heroes of the
country. This is due to the unusual care
that is being taken in the selection of a
thoroughly artistic and distinctive design.
and also because of the fact that there is
$4,000 available for the purpose All the
leading scuptors of America submitted de-
signs in the competition for the work and
of the number four of the most meritorious
We're selected by the committee having the
matter in charge for elaboration for a
final competition to dete, mine the ultimate
selection.
The four successful designs were those of
Mr.. ]. Massey Rhind of New York. Mr. p
w. Bartlett Of Paris Mr. Carl Roll Smith
of Chicago and Charles H. Nienaus of New
York. These gentlemen have completed the
elaboration of their original designs and
the models thereof have been set up in
the building 1904 street. which has been
temporarily rented for the purpose of their
exhibition to the statue committee upon
whom devolves the selection Of the model
of the statue. The artists have been in the
city for several days past. personally SUI

Growth of Religion.

From the New York Sun.
Our religious contemporary, the indie
pendent, takes occasion, in reviewing the
affairs of the year, to express its satisfac-
ton with the growth of religion in the
United States. There was a great increase
in the numte r of churches, clerCymen and
communicates in 1895, end the year has
given no occasion for grooming over the
decline of faith" There has been spirit
ral progress in all the states; the churches
have become more aggressive everywhere:
the boasting o. the enemy is unjustifable:
and, though the devil is yet rampant, his
face is overcast. The most striking thing
in the Independents survey is its state
ment of the religious advancement during
the p1 st five years. Since 1890 there has
been an Incl ease of churches in the United
States to the number of 1900; an increase
of pastors to that of 5000. and an increase
of Communicates TO that of 3.Joo,eo0. These
are. indeed, marvellous facts. They prove
that neither the arguments of unbeleving
men of science nor the speeches of scofers
at religion have had much effect upon the
American mind.
We do not believe that ia any other coun-
try in the world has there been religious
DEVELOPMENT so great as that in the United
States, of which We read in the Indepen-
dent.

METHODIST PROTESTANTS.
Cotecbisnn to Be Revised Into n More
POpuInr Form.

President Herring presided at the morn
ing session of the Methodist Protestant
annual conference in Kansas City KAN
yesteId day. An important item in its work
was the adoption of resolution proVid-
ing for the printing each week in the va
rious religious weeklies Of extracts from
the catechism-
A hot discussion arose over the resolu-
tiCn presented by Rev. A. j. Reichard,
chairman of the Sunday school committee
and 1t was finally adopted by decisive
vote.
The proposition TO revise the catechisrn
into a more popular form next caused
general discussion. general complain.
was made that the present form did not
meet the needs OF the masses. 1t was
finally decided to make revision, which
was left with a committee of five to re-
port at the next general conference
Rev John Scott of Allegheny City, Pa,
was appointed chairman of the committee.
Resolutions ''abhOrring the use of to-
bacco' and forbiddinE members, either lay
Or otherwise, to use the weed or alcoholic
liquors were unanimously adopted.
At Saturdays session L. w. Bates, the
chairman on articles of faith, submitted
a report 1t will be remembered. says the
report that the general conference recon-
mitted the report on articles of faith to
the standing committee. No action has
been taken on the original report by that
committee, and Chairman Bates suggests
uuestion. discussion followed. Rev. w.
A Robertson of Pittsburg, Pa, member
of the old committee, thought that the
question of distinction of faith should be
taken up at once. The report was adopt
ed, however.
A committee of five was appointed to
settle a difference between the New York
and Pennsylvania conferences. in which
considerable money is involved. The fol-
lowing amendment to the rules was intro
duced by Rev. T. ]. Murray of Maryland
and referred to the committee on revision:
No member shall be expelled or deprived
of church privileges without an impartial
trial by a committee of not less than three
lay members. On circuit the trial shall
be by the society of which the accused is
q member, and he shall have the right Of
appeal to the ensuing quarterly conference.
but no man who shall have sat on the
first trial shall sit on the appeal, and all
appeals shall be final
Several papers were presented, but were
referred without being read. 1t is gerer-
ally conceded that the woman question
Is practically settled, as it is said the large
majority in the conference is favorable to

tectural features of his design by Mr.. Ar
thur d. Pickering of New York.
MIR. Bnrtlctt's Design.

Mr.. P. w. Bartlett, sculptor, was assist
ed in the preparation of his design by Mr.
H. Hornbostel, architect, and the work Of
the latter is prominent feature of the
design. These two gentlemen are citizens
of the United States but for many years
have been residents of Paris. and made the
long journey from that city to Washing
ton to personally superintend the erection
and display of their model. According to
the statement submitted by them to the
committee their scheme of composition is
the result of a careful study TO fulfill three
important requirements essential to the
subject, viz, dignity, originality and har-
mony between the architecture and the
structure. In the first instance, they say,
dignity has been achieved by the extreme
simplicity of treatment. great attention
having been paid to mass and line pro-
portions. The originality Of the scheme,
according 20 the designers. lies in the con-
ception of placing the monument proper in
a well, the plan and character of which
have been emphasized by strong horizontal
bands, which bands further afford a field
for inscriptions relative to the life of Gen.
achieved in satisfying the third require
rlent. namely, the harmony of architecture
and structure. may be judged from study
of the pedestal, where the sculptural
adornment in no way attracts from the
constructive lines of the architecture, and
where greater emphasis is placed upon the
statuesqIe and symbolic than the realis-
tic"
The ensemble has Eeen composed to
hold together and produce the greatest
possible monumental effect. In regard to
the we'll the artists say that sinking the
encourage" or surrounding frame is be-
Eeved to be of great artistic value. and
reasons are given for this belief. One Of
these is that additional height Is gained
for the p edestal without placing the por-
trait head of Gen. Sherman too far above
the observer. Another reason is that
satisfactory architeC tural effect and SEN
sation is always obtained from descend
ing while approaching monument
The monument proper Is designed to ex-
press by its simplicity the character of
the hero, while the lines OF the pedestal
are intended to carry down the frmness
embodied in the equestrian statue. At the
front and back of the pedestal are two al
legorical figures. representing Courage"
and Thought" These are intended to
symbolic the generals two greatest quail
tiles, besides assisting in giving vigor-
Gus profile. There also has reliefs
comm amoratinS the famous March to the
Sea" Decorative effect IL given by eagles
at the foot of the pedestal and lions sur
mounting posts at the two entrances to the
well. The materials suggested are bronze
for all the figures and fine grain, warm
colored granite for the base and pedestal
so arranged as to produce rich and har-
monious effect.
