face on one cent piece.
il Attempt to Alter it Brings Forth InI
teresting Protest.
Baltimoro Sun.
Have you a penny to your name?
If you are so fortunto take ouo out
[ from its resting j)lace and scan it
i closely. You will notice that the face
L thereon is not characteristically In|
dian. It suggests more the head of
a young1 girl with .soft, curling hair
and classic features. In fact, I he cast
% an<l general expression is reminiscent
of a Greek model rather than of a
!|j savage. It is purely Caucasian.
This lack 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.
K 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 happened
that the coin bears a face so unlike
an Indian, when the headdress
!'s i has enough feathers to deck out a
fj whole tribe for battle.
J\ It seems that the face on the penny
is one of a pretty girl, who afterward
grew to be a famous woman.
1 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 Northwest
visited Washington. They came
to ?see the sights and pay their respects
to the Great White Father. After
having spent considerable time at
[ ^ the Capital they were taken to Philyt>
adelphia. There they were shown the
mint.
B Honored by Indian Brave.
Little Sarah's father was a fine engraver
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 bin
attention attracted to the little miss,
and he was so much pleased with hei
figure and maidenly bearing that in a
mood of sportiveness he took off hi.*
headdress and put it on her head. She
was not frightened, but lending her)v
self to I he enjoyment of the joke,
| ' she stood for a moment and let the
company look at her.
Someone present, who had both ar
eye for beauty and artistic skill ?was
so struck by the appearance little
Sarah made in her Indian hat thai
he sketched her on the spot.
The sketch was engraved by hei
father.. Just then the 1-eent coii:
in its present form was about to be
J issued, but the head with which its
face was to be ornamented had nol
been chosen. This engraved sketel
, went into competition for the honor
It was accepted in preference to al
S' others, and the imprint of it wa:
transferred to the neat little coppei
coins which Uncle Sam for so man}
years has been sending out into the
world.
Lived Life of Usefulness.
When Sarah grew into womanhooe;
sh^ became actively interested in
missionary work and was for thirtyfive
years secretary of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society of tlu
> Methodist Episcopal Church. She wa:
! j also an earnest worker in the cause oJ
l higher education for women, and as
L a result of her efforts there is a col
lege for women in the City of Mexice
eledicated to her memory and costing
.$100,000. most of which was giver
by her.
Mr. Herman and his friends whe
^ want the present bas-relief on tin
: > cent retained declare that the face- i:
of one who accomplished much, am
$ that it is not only more appropriah
jft' than a creation of an artist's imagi
nation would be, but it is a tribnt*
|l and an honor to American woman
U. hood.
As Sarah was in after life cemnect
1/ ed with mission work, it is certaii
1hat she, too, saw her face, as a ciiib
many times in the missionary boxes
she sent away te> foreign fields.
Mr. Herman has received a repl\
from the president, and tlu* subject i
now being considered by the sec re
tarv of the treasury.

Fancy Rental for House.
I/.' Richmond Speical to New York Her
Hid.
'jr .T. Pierponl Morgan, of New York
J,' has leased for six weeks a fashion
able home near the Jefferson Hote
'j and will occupy it with his family
1 and guests during the triennial ses
sioti of the Episcopal Council, begin
ning on October 1. He will pay $f>,00(
HI'1 a month rent.
i The Jefferson Hotel, largely own
ed by .Joseph Bryan, a wealthy Episcopal
layman ot' Richmond, will ho ^
headquarters daring the session. Mr. ?
Morgan will he at Second atul Frank- ,
lin streets, four blocks away. Ilis |
home is known as the Thomas or
Rutherford place, and is a large, ^
square building, back from the street
in spacious grounds.
The house was built some years after
the war by James Thomas, a leading
tobacconist, one of whose daughters
married the late Dr. J. L. M. "J
Curry, who was American minister
to Spain during the first Cleveland
administration.
Worl unen are putting the house in I
thorough repair and new carpets are
being laid on every floor. Several ^
ifiirdenors are at work on the lawn. (.
While Mr. Morgan comes in the capacity
of a lay delegate to the council,
he will be the recipient of much so- *
cial attention and the Thomas house
will probably be the scene of a great m
deal of hospitality.
