VIGOROUS PROTEST
Against the American CoIyrisas Laws
by w. w. Storv

SoiVfhE<he LAWS
by w. w. Story.
LONDON, June 4th.-The Europeas> edition
of the Herald prints a vigorous protest bv
w. w. Story. the distinguished American
sculptor and poet, against the American
copyright laws and the duty on works of
art. Story writes from Rome and addresses
his words to the Herald He saws:
"All have to say is that in my opinion
the tax OF 80 per cent. on foreign works of
art is disgraceful in theory, unworthy of
any great country, disastrous to art and
beneficial to none. OF all countries we
alone have laid such tax, and the result
may be seen in the fact that our artists are
forced to come abroad TO study their art,
and that there is no such thing as Ameri-
can art.
"We have everything to lose and moth
ing to gain by such legislation. As the
laws of copyright stand at present, both in
relation to literature and art, in what man
creates out of nothing, depriving the public
OF nothing, but only adding to its treasury.
as in books aid works of art, he has only
lease-hold at best of few years, after
which the public may take it and use it as
they please. Is this fair? Is this juste Is
it simply honest? think not.
For my own part confess that it would
seem to be better policy for country like
OuIs, III the tOtal absence OF all great
works of art coming down as heritage
from long-past generations, rather to offer
| bounty on all works of art by distin-
guished masters in ancient and modern
| times, than to put, as we do, an almost
prohibitive duty upon them. Thus we
| could create great gallery of noble works
for the edification and culture of the masses
| and the furtherance of the studies of artists
at home.
What we need is great national gall
lery of art. This we ought to found and
support by annual grants and subventsons.
All other countries have great national
galleries literally supported, but we, such
as we are, have not. What is worse, we
virtually prohibit by gross tax,the. very
entrance into our country of all great
works of modern art, and so render it next
to impossible even for private enterprise to
create great galleries, as well for the artist
as for the public"

Concerning prunes, the Commercial Buue-

whether California's will go readily at 2a@

French prunes, it may be remarked that
foreign packers have studied up the pecu

French goods, they may come from France

A family in Dover, n. J., who have
long been missing valuables, were amazed
day or two ago to find them in the
secret nest of a pet goose. Among the ar
ticles which the bird had appropriated
were two gold thiinbles, turquoise-shell
comb, scarf pins, spools of sewing silk, sill
yer lace and Waterbury watch. The
goose had a trick of knocking at the door
in quest of edible dainties, and. on being
admitted and petted. would seek sunny

alone it began its purloining operations.
It was hiding the stolen timepiece with

taken in Difference to numerous protests

Russian Poland, Southern Russia and

ABOUT ANIMALS AND BIRDS.

A HEN at Hanover, Penn, is setting
on nest of eggs in the top Of willow
tree.
A RAT jumped from tho eaten-out in
side OF loaf of bread which Pennsyl-
vania miss took from the pantry to cut,
and was speedily dispatched by the fam

AT Washing ton. Pa. hawk swooped
down on three-year-old boy and at
tempted to carry him of. The cries of
the child attracted the neighbors and
the bird was captured and killed. Its
wings stretched Ave feet from tip to tip.
THE festive jack rabbit is a strict veg
etarian and will not touch grease Of any
kind, nor will he tackle vegetables that
are seasoned with grease. orchardists
in Colorado take advantage of his fas-
tidiousness and protect their trees from
his inoisors by rubbing the body of the
tree with bacon rind.
A FARMER near st. Louis has n nest of
owls In his barn, and they keep it free
from rats and mice. The birds lay up
provisions at night for the next day.
The farmer marked the bodies OF the
mice he found by cutting of one foot
with pair of scissors. At night all the
marked mice would be gone and the
next morning there would be fresh
supply.
SOMETHING remarkable happened near
Sidney, O., to q COW. There were two
large trees close together on the edge of
a clover field. A fence touched either
tree, but the gap had no fence. The
cow squeezed into the gap, and without
passing through began to browse. She
soon began to swell with gas generated
by the green clover, and to yet her out
one of the trees had to be cut.

FINANCIAL FAILURES.

That Is what q st. Louis Minister Calls
ClsrRymen In Search of Wealth.
The failure in business of n promi.
nent clergyman suggests the fact that
very few preachers ever succeed in max
ing money. When they do the religion
generally oozes out as the dollars come
in, and they end by giving up minis
terial work altogether. Preachers, par
ticularly Methodist preachers, are al.
most always poor, and the next to them
in point of poverty are the BRptists.
The majority of Methodist preachers in
this country receive less than $500 a
year, while the constant demands for
charity greatly diminish their incomes.
Presbyterian clergy are better paid,
while the Church of England ministers,
both here and in Great Britain, fairly
roll in wealth by comparison. The En-
glish Bishops have princely incomes,
and the use of mansion

mate of England" has $50, 900 year,

Those of the Methodist Church South
have $500 salary, while those of the
Church North have n little more, but
none OF them lay by any thing of their
salaries. Bishop Warren, of the Church
North, is rich, having married the widow
of ranchman in Denver. But Bishop
Hendrix, of the Methodist Church South,
enjoys the distinction of being the
richest Bishop in America, having in
herited fortune, which, by careful
management, he has greatly increased.
He has the reputation of being both be-
nevolent and rich. To schools and col
leges he is especially liberal, and Cen

emit prosperity to his generosity. All
