Has an Old Relic Of WASHINGTON


One of the most interesting relics Of
George Washington is owned by the
city Of Salem. 1t Is a medallion in
wood, carved after a sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
Tntire, native genius with a gift for
portraiture. He studied Washington
when the father OF his country visited
Salem on his tour Of the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward,
to adoTn the arch over the west en-
trance of Washington square, Salem.
Here the efigy remained from 1907
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to al iron fence,
still in use.
This Washington relic is kept in the
freproof room at the Essex institute,
Salem, where it is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness cf the great Ameri-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.-Boston Globe.
