Sketch of the Man Who Planned the
Jasper Monument.

Sketch of the Man Who Planned the
Jasper Monument.
At the age Of 80 Mr. Alexander Doyle
has executed more public monuments and
statues in the United States than any other
sculptor, and he is, moreover, the author of
more than one-fifth now standing in the
Union; and to those who know the facts the
reason is not hard to understand. Born
with clear and vigorous personality
eighteen years ago his art education began
at Corona, in Italy, and in one of the best
schools known to modern sculpture, where
the instruction is Fundamental and thor
ough. The result Of his training was that
this boy, at the age Of II, took prize for
design Of a public monument, under
the very vigorous conditions that gov
ern Italian competition. There, and subse-
quently elsewhere in Europe, Doyle became
proficient as a lingulst, and learned the
sister arts Of music and painting, besides
evincing decided taste for tho philosophy
of politics and the modern movement of
great events. IL such mehtal equipment,
added to q strong physique, practical
knowledge Of the world and Of affair, and
a happy temperament, but an independent
disposition as well, will not make an i'm
preston in the plastic arts, then iudeed 1t
would be strange. But Mr.. Boyle has
made a very distinct and surprising i'm
preston. Within period OF six weeks
he erected three imposing monuments In
different parts Of the countryside eques
trian statue IN bronze of Albert Sydney
Johnston at New Orleans, the monument to
Gen. Steedman at Toledo, and the great
architectural and decorative monument 10
the soldiers and sailors at Hartford, Conn,
in association with the late John M. Moffit.
There are some, however, who sharply
criticiss these works and Mr. Doyle's stand
ing. Yet in Italy, ten years ago, his merit
was so recognized that he was made an
honorary member of the Royal Raphael
Academy of Urbino.-Popuidr Monthly.

CHICAGO, June 14-Mrs. john A.
Logan has entered. into the canvas for

spiced with tinge of bitterness towards

and she was animated as ever.
After the reception in conversation
with the ne wspaper men who crowded

WHITE-WINGED PEACE
Settles Down in the Midst of the

lions.
CHICAGO, June 14.-The very first
combination between the friends of any
two candidates, and therefore the first
real politics of the Republican national
convention, was brought to culmina-
ton to-day. Its Importance will not be
lessened by the fact that the news of
the move will come as total surprise to
the great mass of people who have been
listening to the bewildering idle gable
that for nearly week now has been
making the hotel corridors fairly re-
sound. The business, which likely
enough may be the determining factor
in the final result of the convention,
was not transacted in the noisy bedlam
that every hotel lobby has become.
Away from the mob of loud-voiced,
self-important corridor takers and
their gaping groups of listeners, off in
men, all personal friends, but happen
ing to be also leading advocates of two
of the most prominent candidates be-

interchange of opinion in purely con-

HOW THEY KILLED HIM.
One Of the Murderers of Rancher
Lowell Makes a Clean Breast of
His Crime.

His Crime.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 14.-Henry
Myers, implicated with John Olsen and
Dagger in the murder of John Lowell, a
wealthy rancher of Folsom, Cal, has
made statement in which he said he
became acquainted with Lowell two
months before the murder, which was
committed Sunday. March "a, last.
Lowell at the time spoke about selling
his property, as the neighbors were UNI
friendly to him, and as Myers knew
something about stock, asked the latter
to sell his horses for him. Subsequently,
on March %, Myers went with Olsen
and Dagger to LOwell's ranch to obtain
employment cutting wood. On arriving
at the ranch Olsen suggested that as
they were all poor they should put
Lowell out of the way and divide the
large amount of money he had and what
they could realize from the sale of
stock, harness and vehicles. A plan
was formed, and after breakfast the
four went out to look at the wood they
were to cut. Lowell was two feet in
front of Myers when the latter fired the
shot which killed him. The body was
then wrapped in canvas and buried
under some loose dirt in the cellar.
When the men left the ranch they
took several horses with them. which
they sold, and divided the proceeds.
Myers then fed south under an as
sumed name. Olsen going to Suffer

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE arrival to-day
of ex-senator William Pitt Kellogg and
ex-Gov. Henry G. Warmoth, of Louisi-
anna, has given rise to some we'll
founded rumors of accesSions to the
boom of the senior senator for Kansas,
j. j. ingalls,. Investigations resulted in
showing that the Kansan'S boom would
indeed receive considerable impetus
from the Southern states, and that the
whole matter is being operated upon a
plan which has the closest secrecy as its
basis. Mr.. Kellogg was visited by a re-
porter, and he at once disavowed
any intention of the South as whole to
pose as a launcher of presidential
booms. But" continued he, 1--WE have
the best of feelings for Mr.. Ingalls,, and
can only say that from louisiana he
will receive at least three votes and
possibly more. I'll admit that the South,
more particularly my state, has the
kindiiest sentiments for ingalls, for his
noble attack ON the Democratic pOliti-
cal tactics as they are carried out in our
section. Gov. Warmoth, in particular,
feels grateful to him, and, withal, Mr..
ingalls, has our moral support. If Che
does not get all our votes it will be be

the direction of some sort of union, not
in antagonism. The upshot was an I'M
derstanding substantially that the
friends of Harrison and Gresham
should not attack or attempt to under
mine each other, that both sides should
do the best they could for their men, but
all in the friendliest spirit, and that the
Indiana delegates should vote solidly
from start to finish. When the time
came-a time expected by all Gresham
men, but acknowledged as probable by
Gen. HarrisOn's phalanx-the time
when it should become evident in the
convention that Harrison could not be
the nominee, then Gresham should be
accorded the
SUPPORT OF HIS NATIVE STATE.
1t was not stipulated that meeting of
the Indiana delegation should be held to
determine whether the time had az
rived, it being the purpose to make the
matter so fair that no question OF the
kind could arise. The moment when
the delegates should in such a con-
tlngency, if the contingency arose, be-
gin voting for Gresham was left to the
honor of the delegates themselves.

AITkIN, Mimi, June 1.-THE MisSiS-
sippi river continues to rise. The water
is higher than has been known for
over twenty years. Settlers living along
the river have been compelled to vacate
house and home and take up their abode
in wigwams, not because of danger, but
1t is uncomfortable living in submerged
dwellings. The current is not strong.
The steamboat Andy Gibson, which has
been towing logs across Sandy Lake,
came down to-day and brought down
about 100 lumbermen. No driving can
be done. The logs are all doomed and
the lumbermen are waiting for the
water to recede. Those who came in
on the boat said they had not seen land
for several days until they landed at
Aitkin. Mud river is so high that
steamboats, came up to the bridge in
Tibbetts' addition. The mill yards are
somewhat saturated with the overflow
of water. No danger is expected at
Aitkin, as we are considered high and
dry.
