Mrs. Rohl-Smith' S Statement
as to Sherman Monument.
WAX MODEL COMPLETED
FINE EQUESTRIAN GROUP BY
LAURITZ JENSEN.
Bas-Reliefs Being Made by Henry n.
Kitson and Allegorical Groups
by Stephen Sinding.

Mrs. Sara oh-Smith, widow of Sculptor
Carl RohI-Smith, announced this morning
the completion of the figure of General Sner-
man and his horse for the equestrian monu-
ment to be erected south of the Treasury
Department. According to her contracts for
the casting of these figures the monument
will be erected some time in March, 1903,
and ready for unwilling the following
month. The total cost of the work, COM
plete will be about $4,000
The Rohl-Smith design for the Sherman
monument contemplates the erection of a
high and narrow pedestal broadened at the
base. to subdue the appearance Of great
height surmounted by an equestrian statue
of General Sherman and decorated with
four low bas-reliefs, eight medallion por-
traits of Sherman's corps commanders, two
allegorical groups representing War and
Peace four independent figures of enlist
ed soldiers. and two conventional designs
representing the United States. The extreme
height of the group will be fifty feet and
its extreme breadth about fifty eight feet

Roumanian Salt Mines.

From the Chicago News.
Salt mining constitutes one of the staple
industries in Roumania. There are four
mines in all. The mineral is mined in three
of the mines by convicts. In all there are
about 1000 convicts at work in the three
mines The laborers are not provided with
any mechanical apparatus whatever, the
whole of the work being performed by
hand, each convict having to quarry spe-
clfic quantity of salt daily. The mines are
controlled by state official, whose posi-
ton is similar to that of governor of
prison. The mines are thoroughly well ven
tilated and illuminated with electric light,
SO that the lot Of the convicts is somewhat
aIleviated, though to those who are serving
life sentences it.represents living grave.
The mines are worked In galleries. and the
pure white crystal presents a weird and
peculiar aspect, especially in rejecting the
fitful electric light. The main shaft ter

ment with dome-shaped roof. and from
which all the working galleries radiate. The

would accept the task, their position being
that they could not properly enter into the
spirit of Mr.. Rohl-Smith's design. Mrs.
Rohl-Smith consequently engaged Mr.. Kit
son, an expert in works of such nature. to
execute the bas-relefs, and went to Mr..
Rohl-Smiths home in Denmark to find
workmen willing to execute her husbands
designs for horse, rider and categorical
groups.
Foreign Sculptors Employed.
A lifelong friend of Mr.. Roll Smith Mr.
Stephen Sindlng, and a Danish artist, Mr.
Lauritz Jensen, were selected, the former
to model the two groups of War and
Peace and the latter to complete the
model of Sherman and his mount Mr.
Sinding is Norwegian by BIRTH but resi-
dent of Copenhagen, and has become fairly
well known in the art world of middle Eu-
rope. He asked permission to do his share
of the work In Copenhagen. This was
granted. the modelling was done, Mrs Rohl-
Smith inspected and approved the work
and the two groups are now being shipped
to this country. Meanwhile Mr. Jensen and
Mr.. kitson have been at work on the other
portions of the group. Mr. Kitson has been
i'll, but the bas-reliefs, handled in the Wig
orous, highly artistic style which has made
MIN famous, are now well under way and
will no doubt be finished in abundant time
for erection before next March. 1t is the
work of Mr.. Jensen which Mrs. Rohl-S Smith
announced this morning as complete.
Much adverse critism has been made of
the Rohl-Smith design whole, but very
little will be heard of Mr.. JenSen's horse
and rider. The designer intended to repre-
sent General Shermans dislike for osten-
tatious Workmanship, and contemplated
mount capable of hard service and good
speed, but quiet and subdued. Mr. Jensen
has more than realized all this. The horse
stands a very picture of reserve strength
and good blood, his body firm and strong,
the head bent forward. the nostrils dilated
with excitement, but a figure of uuietude
nevertheless. The mount is admirably pro-
pOrtioned. AS artists express it, cit hangs
well together and General Sherman SIS
it as erectly and confidently as any of his
soldiers could ask.
The view of the group from PENNSYLVANIA
avenue will present the great warriors pro-
file probably his most characteristic pose
But the sight of the rider from the White
House will be especially fine. The Sherman
manifest in Mr.. Jensen's work is a man of

When riding at the head of the troops as
Sembled here at the close of the war Gen
Sherman's hat was carried crumpled in his

authorities Gen. Sherman's service saddle

these trappings.

commission organized along the same
general lines as those which recently passed
upon the models for the Grant and Nc
CIellan monuments made the award for
the Sherman monument several years ago
and accepted the design of Mr.. Roh-Smith.
According TO the original plan the work was
to cost about $4,000. of which sum about
S11 900 was subscribed by the Army of the
Tennessee and about $4,000 by Congress.
Many Interruptions.
A studio was erected on the park space
south of the Treasury building within easy
reach of the accepted site for the monu
ment and the sculptor went to work at
once building wax models for the castings.
He had finished the four figures which are
to stand at the corner of the base, drafted
in the form of sketch models, the four bas-
reiiefs gathered considerable material for
the portrait medallions and had built the
skeleton body for the horse, when, about
two years ago, he died.
In the meantime the allowance of $40, 900
had proven TO be entirely inadequate to
the task Mr.. Rohl-Smith had undertaken.
The pedestal, which was to have been
built on foundation only twenty feet
deep. had to be reinforced by deeper con-
struction of nearly twenty feet additional.
Other considerations added to the cost and
Congress continued to appropriate addi-
tional sums-all to be expended under the
direction of the Secretary of Warmth
the total allowance has reached the sum
of $4,000.
On Mr.. Rohl-Smith's death the contract
for completing the group was renewed by
Secretary Alger in favor of the sculptor's
widow, who then undertook to continue
Mr.. Rohl-Smiths labors by employing other
scnlptors. With the exception of Mr..

PLEA FOR PURE FOOD.

From What to Eat
The twentieth century will undoubtedly
be the era of pure foods throughout the
civilized world, for there has been gen.
eral governmental awakening to the fact
that markets are flooded with the mosts
injurious adulterated food stuffs, both
solids and liquids, menace to human
health. The United States is studying the
pure food question, and Congress Will
doubtless take action in securing national
pure food law which shall regulate the SELL
ing of limitations and authorizations in the
various states. Individual states are being
awakened to the great need of suppress.ng
fraudulent foods, and the popular states

vital one, and people have awakened to

That the pure food movement will sue

AN OBJECT LESSON.
Why a Cabinet officer Did Not Re

1--WE have many unique ann often I'M

and pleasures said member of the cabi-
net to Star man this Rornink.
''Of course, cabinet officers are necessa-
rily bound to rely upon the members of
their official family and their subordinates,
as they seldom if ever come in contact
either individually or collectively with their
clerical force. This is one reason why a
cabinet officer should have associated with
him in confidential capacities men whom he
may implicitly trust, and while this is
usually the case, errors of judgment, pref
udices and predispositions of men against
or for other men in office are apt to get
him in trouble at times. l will tell you of an
instance of official duty which made a very
strong impression upon me, and shook
