The bronze general sits his bronze steed like centaur, hat in hand, urg- Ing his men to greater exertlon. The efflgy of tho man is true representa- ton of Lighting Phil" as he was In the flesh, and the metal horse shows to the life his famous charger, Rlenzi, sometimes known as Winchester, who bore the general from Winchester on the storlcd ride. The sculptor of the statue, Gutzon Borglum of New York, has caught to the life the expression of the generals face. according to Mrs. Sheridan and her son. Lieutenant Philip H. Sheridan. The horse Is a correct fac-simile of Rlenzi, according to careful measurements of his skin, preserved at the army post on Gov ernors island, New York, and photo graphs.
 The clothing and accouterments of General Sheridan shown fin the statue are modelled after garments actually worn by him. He Is depicted wearing service uniform, with sword and spurs.
 The statue is fourteen feet high and stands on a plinth of granite. The upper part of the statues base is rough, indicating the earth torn up by Sheridan's horse as he is refined up by bis rider.

sHERIDAN's RIDE
By Thomas Buchanan Read

Under his spurning feet, the road Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed. And the landscape sped away behind, Like an ocean flying before the wind; And the steed, like bark fed with
 furnace ire, Swept on, with his wild eyes full of
 fire: But, 10! he is nearing his hearts de-
 sire, He is snuffing the smoke of the roar
 ing fray, With Sheridan only five miles away. The first that the General saw were
 the groups Of stragglers, and then the retreating
 troops. What was done,-what to do.-a glance
 told him both, And, striking his spurs with terrible
 oath, He dashed down the line mid storm
 of hpzzas, And the wave of retreat checked its
 course there, because @ The sight of the master compelled 1t to
 pause. With foam and with dust the black
 charger was gray; By the flash of his eye, and his nos-
 trils play. He seemed to the whole great army to
 say, "I have brought you Sheridan all the
 way From Winchester down, to save the
 day!' Hurrah, hurrah for Sheridan! Hurrah, hurrah for horse and man! And when their statues are placed on
 high, Under the dome of the Union sky The American soldiers Temple of Fame,- There with the glorious Generals name Be 1t said in letters both bold and
 bright: Here Is the steed that saved the day . By carrying Sheridan into the fight, From Winchester, twenty miles
 away!'

 The statue stands in Sheridan circle, named after the general, at the june ton of Massachusetts avenue and Twenty.thlrd street. It Is the heart of one of the best residence sections of the national capital.

QUICK WIT SAVED HIM.

 Police Chief.

 Police Chief.
 In the Memories" of M. Claude, chief of police during the reign of Ma poleon H., there is much that is fas- cinating to lovers of detective stories. One of NJ. Claude's experiences was that in which he was outwitted by a clever criminal who saw in the police chiefs resemblance to Beranger when the poet was at the height of his pop ularity a means of escape from cap- ture. The criminal had returned to Paris and was living as rich student in the Latin quarter, then in the height of its bohemian splendor.
 Claude thought to make an easy capture of his man by attending cer- tain famous ballroom at the hour when dancing was at its height. He tells the story: ...
 T had no difficulty in discovering him seated among a swarm of pretty girls and bewitching danseuses.
 Convinced there were but two ways of getting the better of cunning ene- my-surprise and audacity-I walked straight up to where my rascal was seated. walked slowly, with steady steps. my eyes on the eyes of my man. He was dark skinned, handsome fel- low, with a face as brazen as 1t was cynical. saw by an impreceptible sign that he recognized me. He turn ed pale-he was mine!
 T was almost near enough. to cap | ture him when I saw him bend to the ear of one of his companions. Instant ly all the girls surrounded me and stood in feverish. excited. ardent phalanx before me. They formed an I impenetrable barrier, behind which my rascal escaped, while the women press ed eagerly upon me. crying out:
 "'Beranger! It Is Berangerr

On the point of being col Jared by me, the man had marked down had recourse to this shrewd game, which must have succeeded even better than he expected. certainly had some points of resemblance to the illustrlous song maker or the whole world of students and grisettes in the Latin Quarter would not have fallen so readily into his trap. was as bald as the poet at that time. and at all times l have had certain good na tured. sympathetic benevolence in my appearance such as the portraits oi Beranger show to this day.

 roar, Telling the battle was on once more, And Sheridan twenty miles away. And wider still those pillows of war Thundered along the horizons bar; And louder yet into Winchester rolled The roar of that red sea uncontrolled, Making the blood of the listener cold As he thought of the stake in that
 fiery fray, With Sheridan twenty miles away. But there is a road from Winchester
 town, A good, broad highway, leading down And there, through the flash Of the
 morning light. A steed as black as the steeds of night Was seen to pass as with eagle flight. AS IT ne hltW tuc tciElDiC hScu, He stretched away with the utmost

The strains will not continue to exist separately in this country as in the old world. They will be combined in one. and of this new type those men will best represent what Is loftiest in the nations past, what is finest in her hope for the future, who stand each solely on his worth as man, who scorn to do evil to others and who refuse to submit to wrongdoing them selves, who have in them no taint of weakness. who never fear to fight when fighting Is demanded by sound and high morality, but who hope by their lives to bring ever nearer the day when justice and peace shall pre- vail within our own borders and in our relations with all foreign powers.
