FACE ON ONE CENT PIECE. Attempt to Alter it Brings Forth In teresting Protest. Baltimore Sun. Have you a penny to your name ? If you are so fortunte take one out from its resting place and scan it closely. You will notice that the face thereon is not characteristically In dian. It suggests more the head of a young girl with soft, curling hair and classic features. In fact, the cast and general expression is reminiscent of a Greek model rather than of a savage. It is purely Caucasian. This laek of resemblance to an aboriginal has caused some folk to declare that Uncle Sam is a nature faker and that the mistake should be rectified and the head of a Sioux or some other wild Indian be placed on the coin instead. Vigorous protests to such a change have come from Baltimore, and Mr. John G. Herman has written a letter to President Roosevelt asking that he use his influence against a change, and advocating the retention of the present design. Mr. Herman, who knows all about the selecting of the design for the penny, has told the President why and how it so happen ed that the coin bears a face so un like an Indian, when the headdress has enough feathers to deck out a whole tribe for battle. It seems that the face on the pen ny is one of a pretty girl, who after ward grew to be a famous woman. Her name was Sarah Longacre Keen, and she lived in Philadelphia. When she was a child 6 years old a delegation of Indians from the North west visited Washington. They came to ssee the sights and pay their re spects to the Great White Father. Af ter having spent considerable time at the Capital they were taken to Phil adelphia. There they were shown the mint. Honored by Indian Brave. Little Sarah's father was a fine en graver and he had official connection with this great money factory. He was a kindly, benevolent man as well, and invited the delegation of red men to some sort of an entertainment at his home. One of the chiefs had his attention attraeted to the little miss, and he was so much pleased with .her figure and maidenly bearing that in a mood of sportiveness he took off his headdress and put it on her heaq. She was not frightened, but lending her self to the enjoyment . of the joke, she stood for a moment and let the company look at her. Someone present, who had both an eye for beauty and artistic skill gvas .so struck by - the appearance little Sarah made in her Indian hat that I1e sketched her on the spot. The sketch was engraved by her father. Just then the 1-cent coin ,in its present form was about to be issued, but the head with which its face was to be ornamented had not been chosen. This engraved sketch went into competition for the honor. It was accepted in preference to all others, and the imprint of it was transferred to the neat little copper coins whieh Uncle Sam for so many years has been sending out into the world. Lived Life of Usefulness. When Sarah grew into womanhood s(became activrely interested in missionary work and was for thirty five years secretary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the MIethodist Episcopal Church. She was also an earnest worker in the cause of higher education for women, and as a result of her efforts there is a col lege for women in the Cit.y of Mexico dedicated to her memory and costing $100,000. most of which was given by her. Mr. Herman and his friends who want the present bas-relief on the cent retained declare that the face- is of one who accomplished much, and that it is not only more appropriate than a creation of an artist's imagi nation would- be, but it is a tribute Land an honor to American woman .hood. As Sarah was in after life connect ed with mission work, it is certain that she, too. saw her face as a child many times in the missionary boxes she sent away to foreign fields. Mr. Herman has received a reply from the president, and the subject is now being considered by the secre tary of the treasury. Fancy Rental for House. Richmond Speical to New York Her ald. J. Pierpont Morgan, of New York, has leased for six weeks a fashion able home near the Jefferson Hotel and will occupy it with his family and guests during the triennial ses sion of the Episcopal Council, begin ning on October 1. He will pay $5.000 a month rent. The .Teffersnn Hotel lar.gely own e1 hY .J(sep),i I,ryan. a wealliy r.pis c0l)pal Layman of Rielhinnl. will be headquarters during the session. Mr. Morgan will be at Second and Frank lin streets, four blocks away. His home is known as the Thomas or RutherforO place. and is a large, square building. back from the street in spacious grounds. The house was built some years af ter the war by James Thomas, a lead in, tobacconist. one of whose daugh ters married the late Dr. J. L. M. Curry, who was American minister to Spain during the first Cleveland 'administration. Workmen are putting the house in toir00unI repair and new earpets are bein, laid on every floor. Several' rar(deners are at work on the lawn. While Mr. Morgan comes in the c pacity of -a lay delegate to the council, he will be the recipient of much so eial attention and the Thomas house will probably be the scene of a great deal of hospitality.
