The few minutes expanded to half

and make for the butchers shop, and
our hearts sank within u.s. But when
we were called to dinner, which the
proprietor's wife had prepared with
her own hands-dear me. time was
when she had dozen servants to call
upon--we looked and beheld a juicy
porterhouse steak, with nicely fried po-
tatoes, tasty tomato salad and cup
of good coffee. A dinner for king,
and SO we all pronounced it. The pro

There may not be much in name,
but Martin Duck didn't like his, Now
it is Duke. The incident that led him
to make the change is thus told: About
two years ago Martin was pitching in

inning his club led the opposing team
bv one run. Two of the latter had
reached two corners nearest the plate,
when a man in the grand stand began
initiating the quack of duck.
Martin didn't show at first that he
was annoyed by it; but as the "quack,
ouack. quacl" continued his face be-
came lobster colored. He shouted 10
his taunter that he would fix him after
the game, but the tiend gave the pitch
err the horse laugh and went on with
his ''quack. quack!" Duke was craZier

that the Argentine commission is now
actively at work and that they will want
$500 square meters Of space at the ex-
position. The commission has opened
an Office and is sending out large guam
titles of papers and circulars 10 the diff
ferent officials throughout the country
and to the newspapers. The mining ex-
hibit, which is to be very large, will be
under the charge Of Mr.. Hoskold, chief

A sparrow Killing Arrangement.

Many plans have been tried TO get rid
of English sparrows, but none so far lie
known TO have been successful. That
adopted by a Maryland farmer is, how
ever, ingenious. Whenever they get too
plentiful he equips each man ON the
farm with a fiat board, and they all pro-
ceeded after dark with lanterns to the
bird roost. The sparrows fly toward the
light, and az they come within reach the
men with the boards knock them down
by the score.

it is today. An Indian is shown, bow in

while at his side is seated Columbia,
representing the change which has come
over the New World during four cen.
turtles. These figures are nearly eighteen
feet tall.
On the front of the pedestal will stand
Genius, seventeen feet tall. This piece
of work will possibly attract more at
tention even than the statue Of Column
bus itself, for it is specimen of allie
gorical art which it will be difficult to

covery bending over globe, upon which

plation Of which it appears to be deeply
absorbed. The figure is nude, but for
the piece of light drapery which falls
across it between the waist and knees.
The position of the body and the poise
Of the head are refreshingly illustrative
Of interest, hope and expectancy. The
base Of the monument is ornamented by
four massive posts which serve to break
the monotony Of this massive piece Of
stone.
There is a post at each corner of the
base, and between them, on the back
and front, are two bas-reliefs of beauti-
full execution, one representing the. de-
parture of Columbus as he set out from
Palos in his quest of new world, and
the other depicting that new world as
he found it when he landed at San Sal
vador. The latter is particularly good.

friendly patch of maize, add 10 the ef-
fectiveness and suggestiveness Of the
bas-relief, and lends the appearance Of
atmosphere" so assiduously sought
after, and so seldom attained, by good
artists, either in color or in marble.
1t was originally intended that the
monument should be located on Govern
or's island, the argument being that
with Bartholdi's Liberty there would
then be two huge guardians of New
York harbor, between which all incom-
ing and outgoing ships would have TO
pass. 1t was also urged that the effect
npon the eye Of the stranger as his yes
sci entered the Narrows would be par
ticularly striking. On the other hand
it was asserted that the location of
the monument iii New York city would
bring it nearer to the common people,
to whom it would then be easily accessi-
Bile, and this view finally prevailed.
Chicago was also anxious to have it on
exhibition at the Worlds fair, but it
was deemed inadvisable to incur the
risk of accident by additional transpor-
tation. OcTAvUs COHEN.

which included IN its membership such
eminent artists as Salvini, Sacconi,
Monteverde, Maccari, Ferrari, Calde-
rfni and many others of almost equal
reputation. After the most careful ex-
animation and patient consideration Of
everything submitted, the jury finally
selected Gaetano Russo as the sculptor.
Russo is native of the island of Sicily.
He was born in the little town of Cata-
MIA in 1885. He was practically a born
artist. He looked like an artist when he
was a little fodder just as much as he
does today, when his name and works
are famous the world over.
When Russo was but ten years old he
became so persistent in his wish 10 be-
come sculptor that he was permitted
to go to Rome There his genius at
tracted attention, and while he labored
under great disadvantages and suffered
hardships which would have discour-
aged less determined youth, his ad-
vancement in his beloved profession was
comparatively rapid. Like many men

Americana, leading Italian newspaper
of New York city.
Cavalier Barsotti conceived the idea
that out of the hundreds of thousands of
his fellow courtrymen who have found
homes and comparative prosperity in
America there would be a sufficient
number who would be willing to con-
tribute toward fund for the erection of
a suitable monument to THE Finder of
a World" Nor was he mistaken, for
his suggestion met with the most hearty
commentator from Italians in every
portion of the country, and the subscrip-
ton list was closed very soon after il
was opened. More money was received
than had been contemplated in the origi-
nal arrangements, and a monument
worthy of the natives of the "land
whose very soil is tinctured with art,
was assured.
A correspondence was opened with
Premier Crispi, as a result of which it
was decided that there should be an open
competition, under the auspices of the
Italian government, for the purpose OF
deciding upon the sculptor who should
have the honor of making the great
statue which is to stand at the gateway
of America" A jury was selected

OF artistic temperament, Russo is high
strung and nervous, and he is said TO
detest personal notoriety, but II this be
true he is destined to be greatly irri-
tated in the near future, for the work
ON which he is now engaged is certain
to cause him TO be talked about and writ
tsn about very freely.
There have been and viii be Column
bus statues galore, but 1t Is safe to as

ton of Russo will overshsdow them all.
