Days, New York, had been selected,
Montana people insisted that one OF
their own beauties should have been
selected, and Miss Lillian Russell fatty
charged that she was offered the honor
for $4,000. Others say they could have
had it for s., 900.
The statue is to be eight feet high and
of solid silver. The First National
bank of Helena, Mon, furnishes the
SS5 900 worth of silver needed, and will
own the statue after the fair closes,
while the sculptor, Mr.. R. Ell. Parke, of
New York, is to receive $4,000 for his
work. He laid down certain rigid re-
ouirements, including no less than sixty
eight measurements, for perfect model,
and appointed Messrs. G. o. Harvey and
F. D. Higbee committee to get said
model. Verify that committee had a
circus. It is needless to detail what they
did, much more what they are charged
with having done. Suffice it that they
reported Miss Rehan absolutely perfect
in every measurement save two, and in
those diverging from the ideal but very

that is, of Miss Ada Rehan:
Head, So inches; face, 9-16 inches;

breadth of shoulders, 1711s inches; length

would measure 2 feet II inches from
point of support to the top of the head;
standing, 1917 inches from sole of foot

mittee adds, many ladies with figures as
perfect, but Miss Rehan is peculiarly
fitted to display the drapery. Her fig

with the single exception of the face,
which may be said to be slightly Mile

Politics a Costly Game.

The United States senate is called a
''millionaire's club" and very often
criticism is made on the prominence OF
wealthy men in public life. But the
fact seems to be that none but the rich
or corrupt can afford to hold office In
these days of large expenditure. Fol-
example, it is said that the lord lieuten-
ant of Ireland has d salary of 100000
per annum, but the expenses of the po-
sition are so high as to make a big pri.

Prince Torlonia.

Every reader of Thackeray will re-
member the Torlonia family, the head
of which, Prince Torlonia, has just
died. Few, however, are perhaps aware
that he was of French descent. The
grandfather from Auvergne was named
Torlogne and followed the army of Ma
poleon into Italy. The son took advan-
tage of the system of government which
prevailed in the papal states, and
amassed an immense fortune by farm
ing the tobacco monopoly, and the
grandson, whose death is noted, inner
tied the commercial instincts of his fam
lily and increased the capital which
came to him by inheritance.

to high pitch when the cOlOrs of the old flag
were thrown upon the white side Of the shaft,
the peak being bathed in red, followed lower
