STATUES FOR CHICAGO.
REPLICA of French's "WashingtOA
and Statue of Mckinley Soon
to BE Erected.

A replica of the heroic equestrian
statue of Washington, designed by
Daniel C. French, the Boston sculptor,
and erected at cost of $4s, 900 in Paris
by the Daughters of he Revolution,
will be set up in Washington park, Chi
cago. The duplicate of the famous
original will cost $4,000. OF this sum
$4,000 has been contributed by Chi.
cago men of wealth who wish their
names withheld, and has been placed
in the hands of Henry c. Foreman, of
the South Park board. At meeting
of the South Park commissioners the
board decided to raise the remaining

Albany, and commissioned him to
visit the noted factoriel with the
idea of submitting q collection of
china and glass for her inspection.
President Roosevelt was very much
interested in the matter and took
part in the discussions relative to
what should be selected. It was de-
cided that the great seal of the Uni
ted States, which is so rarely seen
now that few are acquainted with it.,
should be enameled on the service.
Then the hunt for samples COM
menced.
After several months of searching
Mr.. Van Heusen submitted to Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt IS different
and exclusive designs. They ranged
in price from $4,000 to $4,000. Noted
decorators of china had been at work
for months, and possibly never be-
fore has there been such beauti-
full collection of original designs in
ceramic art presented to the consid-
Grafton of any one with a similar
idea in view. 1t seemed as if any
taste could be gratifed. Deep rich
reds, beautiful blues and yellows,
rose Du Barrys and the different
shades of green of the very simplest
treatments that can be imagined
were submitted.
It was a hard matter to arrive at a
selection, but Mrs. Roosevelt was de-
termined that >the design should be
simple and not at all gaudy. AS
sisted by her husband, Mrs. Roose-
Welt finally selected for the white
house service simple Colonial pat
tern in gold, with the diverse of the
great seal of the United States en-
amelled in color as the decorative
feature. 1t was made by Wedgwood.
This design will be exclusively for
the white house and copyrighted.
That there mi ght be no flaw in the
service Mrs. Roosevelt declared the
manufacturers should take all the
time they needed to have a perfect
set. It is expected the service will
be ready for use at one of the Jan
uary functions in the white house.
The white house service will con-
sist of IS dozen plates, 10 dozen tea
plates, dozen soup plates, 8 dozen
after dinner coffee cups and saucers,
10 dozen teacups and saucers, 10 doz-
en- oyster plates, 10, dozen fish plates
and "a pla alters.
The glassware is also strikingly
beautiful. It consists of IA pieces.
The goblets are very thin and so fra
gile that the slightest pressure would
break one.
King Edward has just placed an or
der for china set to cost 100000,
and another set which is only few
thousand dollars cheaper. Russia has
the finest china sets in the world,
the car having one for which he
paid $25o,0oo.

The famous old stone basin from

removed from the obscurity of the
old frame pumphouse adjoining the
Bartram mansion (where for nearly
century it collected the waters

in 1866 to Henry Elliott Johnson, and
for a time lived in Wheatland, but

The invitation sent her by the king

then prince of Wales in the white
house. She was treated with dis
tinguished consideration during her
stay in England.

Another phase Of the problem Is
the unwilllngness of the blacks to
forego their lazy existence In the con

were gathered during the war and far
more serious Is the fact that great
number of blacks in the country have
managed to secure arms. There is.
