A BARRIERS LUCK.
Dan Taliaferro, Well-Known Tom
serial rtist, on the Road to Fortune.

Dan TaIiaferro, 9 Well-Known Ton
serial rtist, on the Road to Fortune.
From the Athens uGd.) Banner WiGtchHldn.
All 1.-THE Athenians know Dan Talia-
ferro, the colored barber who did business
in this city and after ward moved to Jack
sonville, Fla, and married. Dan was a
polite and respectful man, and had the good
will of our people, who will be glad TO
know that he will soon come in possession
Of handsome fortune, estimated at about
800, 600, or perhaps more.
His story Is a strange one. On Dams re-
movsl to the Land OF Flowers he met a
| colored girl of Key West, and after brief
courtship the pair were married. 1t now
seems that the proudest blood Of CASTLE
| flows in tie veins of this octoroon, for she
is a lineal descendant from a Spanish
general who commanded troops in St.
Augustine when it was under the dominion
OF that country. This old general was a
great rue, and, becoming attached to
mClatto girl, descendant of the Minor
cans, reared family of children by her.
On his deathbed he repented Of his haison,
and left these children his entire landed
property in Florida, including 80, 900 acres,
much of it lying in the principal cities of
that state. A portion of the ground on
which the Ponce de Leon hotel stands was
purchased from the heirs, while they still
own valuable possessions all over that city.
as also in Key West, Tampa, Tallahassee
and other places. This property has never
been divided, being controlled by an old
aunt to Dams wife, who lives in fine style at
St. Augustine, and was recognized as the
head OF the family. There are now only
seventeen heirs to this vast property, and as
they are all of age, they have demanded that
division be made arrangements for which
are now in progress. The best lawyers in
tae state are employed. There is no ques-
ton of doubt about the title to this prop
erty, and not an acre is in dispute. When
Florida was sold by Spain to the United
States, there was clause in the trade by
which this government was pledged to pro-
tect the titles of Spsniards who had pri-
vate landed interests. Under this clause
Dams wife comes in.

pedes al is beautiful piece OF workman
ship carved in the form of dolphins.
Miss Lawson is probably the only modern
sculptor who has gone to the an
tique for that form of the Por-
trait bust which the Latins called Ter
minus and the Greeks Hermes. The
] Greeks used boundary posts TO mark the
| junction of high ways which took the shape
/ of heads of Hermes or Mercury on the top
of quadrangular stone pillars. At later
date rich Romans often gave commissions
to sculptors to execute busts in the same
/ style for the decoration Of their halls or
/ libraries Miss Lawson has employed the
| Hermes for the bust of relative, and IL
has certainly this advantage that It Cd
viates entirely the sculptors dltncultles
with modern costume
One of her latest pieces of work is panel
| to be cast in bronze showing in relief the
profile of a Shoshone Indian maiden. This
| is still in clay and 50 lifelike that it recalls
Thorwaldsan's saying: "Clay is life, plas-
| ter is death, marble is resurrection" Only

The Indian is a favorite subject with MISS

statue Of a fencer which promises TO be as
spirited portrayal of the masculine figure
as "Ayacanora' is of the feminine. Her
model is a young Hebrew who Is a splendid
specimen of athletic DEVELOPMENT. After
tue usual sculptor's practice she sets up her
clay figure nude to bring out the muscles,
and then puts on the clav clothes The head
is left as bald as Bill Nye's for season, but
at a late date it gets its growth Of hair. The
sculptor is herself a clever fencer, and en-
ters up n her subject con amore.
In reply to a question she said that she
could not understand the life Of a woman
who had not some abs )rbing object, some
work to which all her energies were de-
voted. For herself theI had never been any
hesitation, any cropping in the dark to find
what she could do. As child she wished to
be a sculptor. and when she opened her
own studio in Rome she had been studying
fourteen years. This is different prepara-
ton from that of Winnie Ream, who drifted
into a sculptor's studio, looked around, said
81 guess can do that" and proceeded to
cast a hand and stick il on Lincoln. The
first thing Miss Lawson did in Rome was
to sign petition circulated by Story for
the removal of the tariff from the works Of
foreign artists, and she gives her influence
to the same cause now that she is at home.
She believes in dress reform, aud thinks
the day of more convenient attire for
women is at hand. She believes in the
future of women artists, and that the
woman's vivid Imagination when aided
by proper training will carry her far.
She impresses one first and foremost as
thoroughly happy woman to whom the
world through her devotion to her art has
turned a sunshiny side.

A Not Unusual Episode in Justices
Court Yesterday.
Not many of the magistrates have to deal
with more unruly prisoners than Lucy
Washington, who was arraigned in Justice
Sheftall's court yesterday, on a charge of
breach of good behavior. The woman was
arrested at No. 6 Bay street, and the officers
had a difficult time getting her to the
office of the magistrate. She cursed the
officers and everybody that she could think
of. While she was delivering herself
of the TRADE of abuse, the pros
ecutor, Maggie Middleton (coIored)
came up and the Washington woman tried
to get to her. While the officers were
holding Lucy she shook her fist at her
prosecutor, and made violent threats,
which she said she will execute when she
gets out of Jail. As soon as it was possible,
the magistrate made out the commitment,
and Lucy was sent to jail Charges other
than simple breach of the peace, 1t is
understood, will be lodged against her.

d oubtless repealed rather than attract
ed imitation.
1t is well doubtless that much care
be given TO the common methods OF
farming which have found favor in any
neighborhood. Doubtless .much inn
provement can be made by an in
tclligent man who fully understands
the why's and wherefores Of the COM
mon ways of doing things; but we pre-
sumo that little practical improvement
Will be made unless these are first
understood. Whenever n teacher be-
gins by expressing entire contempt for
his pupils, he is thereby incapacitated
from doing them any good. This is
especially true in a business so widely
varied as farming, in which no one
man can possibly know everything,
and where the successful teacher is he
who is always most ready to learn.
We do not undervalue the influence
OF agricultural newspapers. The teach
ings in these journals, however, are
most useful which give not theories
but the results of practical exercise.
And after all, the great mass OF farm
ers, as of other classes, are more i'm
pressed by what they see than by what
they merely read. We can see this in
some neighborhOo1s where the in
fluence of good example in farming
has gradually extended until it has
affected wide area. John Johnston,
who lived in western New York twenty
to forty years ago, and began the
system OF tile draining in this country,
was teacher by example of the class
we refer to- He made farming pay,
redeeming by understanding aud high
manuring naturally cold and wet
farm Thereby he brought it to a
high state of fertility. All this time
he was not II mere fancy farmer. He
farmed TO make money, and his success
in this was so much greater than that
OF those who went on in the old, we'll
worn ruts, that his example has exert
ed and will exert great influence for
good throughout the whole country.
The experimental stations in the
various states are DING an important
work, but they cannot supersede the
influence Of private example. In fact.
the stations are designed very largely
for experiments which it is certain that
average farmers will not undertake.
1t IS not primarily the object of the
experimental station TO make money.
1t is sustained by state aid, and the
lessons learned are OF more value than
the crops produced. The fact that the
state tries farm experiments does not
absolve farmers from their obligation
to devise for themselves new methods,
proving all things. and holding fast
that which is good. Guilt

On the State University.

The success of coeducation finds new
demonstration in the fact that among the
score of articles upon the Michigan univer-
sity, written in competitor by the students
of that college for the Cosmopolitan maya
zine, the prize was taken by young lady.
This article appears as the leading paper
in the June number of the Cosmopolitan,
by Miss Edith 5. Sheffield. of the senior
class, and its excellent quality is high
compliment TO the institution, as we'll as to
the writer. Among the abundant illustra
tons for the article, the frontispiece, rep
resenting a senior reception at Ann Arbor,
was drawn by Arthur Julie Goodman from
special models, most Of the figures being
portraits of wcllknown people. In the
ladies of the picture, the artist has given
several types of western beauty, and his
careful drawing of their toilets is taken
from actual dresses, designed by such ar
lists as MORN, Bloissier, and Rodrigues of
Paris, and Writ of New York, giving an
excellent idea Of the wealth and good taste
TO be seen on such occasions.

EXAMPLES of Good Farming.

The practical teaching of farming
must be by example. Theorizing on
agricultural matters has its place.; but
the proof of theories lies in their sue
cessful application. And as farming
is business, conducted like other pur-
suits for the purpose Of making money,
If the teaching is to have much practi-
cal effect it must be shown to average
farmers that the new methods which
teachers of farming recommend are
able to and do give greater profit than
their own. 1t is not enough to show
that with unlimited money certain inn
provements can be made. Almost
anything can be done il plenty OF
money is furnished. In fact, the prod
igality with which money is used in
some experiments by wealthy men,
farming for their amusement, has
