senting 1.-The march through Georgia." An
eEtablature rests On the pilasters and forms
a pedestal for the equestrian statue of Gen.
Sherman. The horse stands with the legs
placed front and back in L very rigid posi-
ton. The general is shown turned round
on the saddle. resting his right hand with
sword on the back of the horse, addressing
an imaginary army or regiment The
height from the ground to the top of the
generals head measures fifty-two feet, and
the horse and man would be almost twice
life size.
On either side of the monument are
placed allegorical figures of 'Fortitude"
and Good Generalship." Suitable inscrip-
tions will be placed on the front, to be de-
cided by the committee, while on the back
a large panel will have an historical de-
scription of all the achievements performed
by the general during his military career
The architectural features of this design
are of purely Greek order. The material
used for this monument would be a fine
grained gray granite, and all the figure
work in bronze.

at great stability in man and horse, and in
the pedestal as well, carefully eliminating
every detail which might tend to conflict
with the general idea of simplicity. ut is
intended he says. Ito impress the he
holder with mass and clean, simple lines
rather than to make any attempt at grace
or elaborate detail" 1t is meant solely to
represent great soldier victorious
leader of men. The horse is shown in
thorough repose and the attitude CT the
rider is dignified and quiet. The group is
Of bronze and at least twice life size. The
pedestal, of Renaissance style, will be of
granite with side and end panels for ap-
propriate historical inscriptions. AS the
whole, the design is one of the simplest in
the entire collection.
The second model submitted by Mr.. Part
ridge represents the horse in action. with
the rider firmly seated in the saddle with
soldierly grace and dignity. The group.
while less personal than that in his other
model, the artist regards As rnors elegant,
and perhaps more apt to please the public.
The pedestal is combination of graceful
curves carefully combined and designed to
lead up to the equestrian group. The pam
els on the sides are left for Inscriptions to
be selected by the committee. The mater

reliefs. symbolizing the march to the sea.
Gen. Sherman is mounted on a spirited
thoroughbred, head up, ears erect and nos
trils distended, as though inspired by the
sounds of battle. The general sits in calm
dignity. wearing the usual military cloak,
which falls gracefully to the horses back,
his entire attitude indicating close obser-
walton of the movements of mis- army. His
left hand grasps the reinS, while his right
falls by his side in simple posture. His
sword is sheathed. and the idea given Is
one of dignified repose.
Mr.. Ellicott designed the equestrian
Statue of Gen. Hancock, which Is to be
erected On the reservation at the corner Of
Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street.
One model is the joint production Of ]. o.
Lester and B. Sims of New York. The
peueSldl Is OF rectangular form, standing
on platform ascended by three steps.
This platform. front and back, has semi
circular base, on which are two groups,
one representing Liberty freeing the slave,
and the other representing Patriotism. On
the sides of the pedestal are bronze panels
showing incidents in Sherman's military
career Surmounting the pedestal is an
equestrian statue showing Sherman seated
on his prancing Lexington steed. The at
titude of the horse shows fiery eagerness
for the fray. Gen. Sherman is represented
looking forward, motioning with out
stretched arms, sword upraised, for his
troops to follow. In the group represent
ing Liberty freeing the slave, the allegor-
1cal figure of Liberty is accompanied by a
little girl holding torch, symbolical of
enlightenment, and the slave Is pictured
as an ernaciated negro with broken chains

Stamps Missing From Mail Matter.

stamps MlSS1nS from MILL NAAttcEs
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
For some time past complaints have been
received by the Post Office Department from
persons regarding stamps missing on mail
matter. The authorities are Of the opinion
that it Is the work Of stamp collecting
fiends, and every effort is being made to dis
cover the place where the work is dole.
The stamps usually, stolen are rare ones.
The last complaint received by the post
office authorities was made by Mr.. Howard
Douglass. While abroad nMr. Douglass re-
ceived some medals which had been blessed
by the Bishop of Antwerp, and he sent
them to some friends in this country.
although Mr. Douglass has been back
from his European trap for several months,
the whereabouts of the medals are still a
mystery When Mrs Douglass was in Egypt
he made an acquaintance at one of the le-
cations at Cairo. and promised to send a
memento from America to him. Shortly af-
ter IRVING at home Mr.. Douglass sent some
medals from this city, and the other day
he received a reply to the effect that the
medals had been received, but that the
stamps had been torn off the paper wrap
per. 1t is thought that the stamps were
stolen before arriving at Cairo, or at least
before the package was delivered. 1t Is
known the stamp sellers at nearly all the
post offices of the country are often visited
by stamp collectors, vino buy certain kind
of stamp which is thought to be getting
rare, and which is expected to command a
good price in the near future

eral artists in the scdmpetition that the
aforementioned design of Mr.. Niehaus is a
copy of the celebrated colleoni at Venice,
scribed is a copy of the equestrian monu-
ment to Frederick the Great at Berlin. 1t
Is only fair to Mr.. Niehaus to. say that he
utterly repudiates the charge Of plagiarism
In each instance.
The other competing artists whose
models have been previously noticed in The
Star are L. ,Mullgarde of Chicago Fernan-
do Miranda Of New York, Edwin M. Van
Note of New York, James E. Kelly of New
York, and the Dunbar Brothers of this
city. =.
One of the largest models on exhibition
Is that designed by Mr.. Rowland Hinton
Perry and Mr.. Edward P. Casey of this
city. In addition to it's sculptural features
1t Is pretentious from an architectural
standpoint. The general idea is an eques-
trian statue on an ornamented pedestal in
an inclosed circular plateau, with four en-
frances, each Of which is fianked with
granite posts, surmounted with large
spheres. At the four sides of the pedestal
are allegorfcal figures Of Fame, Victory,
War and Peace. The plinth is elaborately
carved with designs commemoyating the
march to the sea, and upon it Stands the
equestrian statue. The horse is represent
ed in motion, and Gen. Sherman sits firmly
in his saddle in the attitude of salute, with
head uncovered his slouch hat being held
in his right hand, resting on his thigh.
Carl Rohl Smith of Chicago is one of the
competitors. His model Is of rare simplic-
ity. The equestrian group is mounted on a
marble pedestal on the projecting arms of
which stand striking allegorical figures of
War and Peace. One side contains the
names of Sherman's victories and the other
bears the inscription William 4. Sherman,
1S20-1S91.' -

the center of the frieze on each side. At
the front of the pedestal are two inter-
twined wreaths Secondary groups, repre-
senting War and Peace, are placed at the
sides above the Stylobate. Collaborating
with Mr.. Brown in this design are March,

In the preparation of his other design he
was assisted by Babb, Cook & Willard, ar
chitects, also of New York. Mr.. Brown is
a nephew and an adopted son of Henry K.
Brown, who designed the statues of Scott
and Greene in this city. He is the author
of the equestrian statue of Meade at Get

MIR. Niehnus.
Mr.. Charles II. Niehaus of New York dis
plays two models, which have become the
subject Of considerable critical comment on
the part of the other artists in competition

the Hamilton statue in Brooklyn, and he
has also exhibited at the salon in Paris, at
the Royal Academy in London and at Ber-
lin.
MIR. Adrian Jones' Model.
Mr.. Adrian Jones of New York has sub

in design. 1t shows Sherman refining in
his impetuous steed on the field of battle,
and at the same time encouraging his
troops on to victory. The plinth represents

Victor Olsa of New York has offered one
of the smallest models in the entire colec-
ton. 1. represents a dignified equestrian
statue of Sherman ON a pedestal of strict
simplicity. The panels on the sides Of the

one in front represents Victory offering
laurels to the soldier hero. Fame stands at
the rear. There is statue of Peace on
one side and the statue of History on the
other. The model is one of the smallest
and simplest of the lot. The artist has not

model, and at present the statue stands
on an improvised pedestal of boxes. Mr..
Mills is a son of Clark Mills, the cele-
brated sculptor.
