These statues are all made to order, but

Florence, for instance, are a number of
fstudios, over which artists of ability and
repute preside. In a moment of inspiration

cheaper than anything you can get in any

range from 800 to $500, and Of parlor pieces

MIR. Watterson on a New York Platform.

Mr.. Watrerson on a New York Platform.
New York Letter
Watterson strobe boldly to the edge OF the
platform, and in two minutes had the vast
audience applauding, had it laughing IN five
minutes. had it excited in ten minutes, and
after that used it as its master, and made 1t
the slave of his magic for fully half an hour.
He is a singular-looking man in the first
place. He is of medium height and plump
form, and his dress fitted him as tight as a
label fits on a bottle. His black trousers
were without a crease-two even cylinders OF
cloth that rounded tightly over his
spherical corporation. His vest was
equally close-titting, and his swallow
tail coat looked as if it must have
been put on and sewed in its place.
He wore no Jewels or jewelry except a little
ball of gold that tangled before the second
button from the last on his vest, and must
have been fastened to a chain hidden under
his coat. His head and face are knightly
and heroic in contour and poise. His light
brown hair is parted on one side n falls
down on the other side over mis- brow in we'll
MANNED disorder. 1t is a little longer be
hind than we are used to seeing mems hall
in New York, yet it is not in any strict sens'
long. His high brow, large eyes, large, well
shaped nose, and heavy chin, as we'll as hi
habit of throwing his head back, give him al
air of boldness and aggressive COURAGE. IL
is handsome, in spite of the TACT that Tn
sight is gone from one eye.

THE NEW TRANSFER SWITCH.
The Beauty of the Arrangement-A Chance
for Accidents.

member of the City Council says there is
nothing to prevent any citizen from fling
against the Johnson Street Railway Company
for its obstruction of Washington street by the
detached car on the new transfer switch The
company was given this privilege under a mis-
apprehension that the switch was to be placed
on Illinois street at the intersection of Ken
lucky avenue, and the favor was accorded not
as permanent thing. but to give the company
time to perfect it's transfer system. There is a
city ordinance against a street car being al
lowed to remain on the street as this transfer
car now stands. and it may not be improper to
call the attention of the Council to the fact that
1t cannot thus grant right privilege explicit
ly denied by a specific ordinance.
The present location of the transfer car is not
only an obstruction to the most travelled portion
OF the most travelled street in the city, but from
its place in the very center of
the street is likely to prove a
source of accidents. Whenever there is a
crowd In the city, that portion of the street is
apt TO get the throng. During the Encampment
last July it was densely packed with people and
vehicles. and again during the State Fair. With
numerous cars passing and repassing at that
point (every line in the city goes by that spot)
1t would seem most unlikely situation for the
purpose for which it is used. II would appear
that the chances for accidents there would Ger
talnly be much greater than where the transfer
car was first placed, at the corner of Illinois
street next to Kentucky avenue. Transfer pas
sengers, men, women and children, will have to

visitors superiority at the bat was early demon
strated, and Donnelly was hit for Is safe
hits, while the home club succeeded in making
but 8. In the field the Port Hurons also ex-
celled and made but errors, against Ia by their
opponents. Horn, the new first baseman,
played his first game and did well, putting out

he failed to secure a safe hit he showed con-
siderable strength, knocking two hard hits,
which were, unfortunately, gathered in by the
enemy. OF the gsNe the followingis

and was in this way: City Legislator James
Bowling, Statesman Jim Cropsey and State Leg
islator John Ferriter were cOnversing in front
OF Fred. Christman's saloon. State Legislator
Ferriter is the alleged parent OF the metropoli-
tan police bill, and City Legislator Bowling had
grievance. He wanted to be secretary of the
police board, and had the promise
of the Ferriter influence for the
position, which influence he charged had
been withheld. The Councilman was very an

and there, had it not been for Mr.. Cropsey who
acted the part Of peacemaker. 1t isn't known

knocked him down and was preparing to bruise
him in detail when the bartender interfered and
separted the Lawmakers.
About an hour later these two leading citizens
came together again, in the alley back of Henry

Ferr1ter repaired to the alley invitation of
OF Mr.. Bowling, and again victorious,
doubling Mr. Bowling up in one brief round. AS

never have shared the least iota of the profits
of running Sunday trains or any other fir ancial
benefits, with the L., N. A. IL c. railroad.
Therefore, tho recent resolution TO keen open
gates on the Sabbath was adopted in perfect in
dependence of any action of the railway Off
cas. From the beginning the trustees
have pursued the plan of charging
gate fee Of ten cents on the Sabbath.
This is virtually the sole source of revenue to
pay for the grounds make the needed improve
ments and defray the legitimate contingent ex-
penses.
The reported action of the L., N A. & G. road
in doing away with Sunday trains is a relief to
the trustees. One of the reasons for Keeping
open gates on the Sabbath is to accommodate
the citizens of Battle Ground City, who live in the
very shadow of The campmeeting tabernacle
or course they do not build cottages on the
campground and closing the gates on Saturday
evening is TO exclude them, besides hundreds
that come from the populous country adjacent.
The hundreds and thousands who ATTEND this
meeting independent of railway facilities will
supply abundant patronage. Let il be known
then, that the Battle Ground camp-metting ia

railroad coalitions. ONE oB THE TRUSTEES
