An Open Letter.

|. There is long distance between
papa love and puppy love!
2. There cannot be and ought not
to be any thing personal said against
any man announced as a candidate for
school trustee. The plain facts are
simply these; This community would
have united upon one set of six men
who could and would have been elected
in the interest of harmony and for our
schools, but there were two sets of
men, Que the personal special friend
and the attorney for the preser
superintendent, who took the matter
in hand and "called the six men whose
names were announced in The Day
Glooe." These same men went at the
same time to each Of the other papers
in Waco and asked these papers to
commit The mselves to this non com
initial ticket, and the editors of these
papers, The News and The Telephone,
very properly declined to do so. The
editor of The Day. Globe announced
that this ticket would not commit itself
and that they would not scramble.
All these things we're taken as notices
served upon the people that the pres
ent administration has its chosen
ticket out. Called out by the parti-
san friends Of the present superintend-
ent, and the people had right to
Judge Tire men "called OUT by the
two who called.
3. Then several hundred citizens
came to rescue and announced a
reform ticket. Men who we're not
asked, do you favor A. b. or G but
do you favor the reform as demanded
by the people at the ballot box on
April 4th? Men who are not above
patronizing the free schools. Men
brought out by the people Men who
believe in the people. Men who are
not above the people Men who
stand fairly and squarely for the good
Of the people. And these are the gen.
tlemen who were thus called out:
A. c. Prendergast, r. w. Andrews,
J. S. McLendon, Jas. I. Moore, Y. l..
Johnson and w. II. Turner, the writ
er's name was not to the announ cement
of these mon. But We say now in
reply to several hundred men who
have called on us, that we expect to
support this ticket in full, simply
because they stand for reform and the
people, and in all respect as capable
as the other list, and as whole much
better adapted to the position o.
school trustees. Now, ii there is any
scramble or personal partisan strife,
then the partisan friends of the pres
ent superintendent and the candidate;
called out by his attorney, and paic
for by him are to blame. And ther
beg to get in on our reform ticket il
is bad taste and cut of place.

masterpiece. Life and vigor are i'm
piled in every line and feature, and the
general effect Is one OF great beauty.
Combined with this fact is the signiE-
eance as being probably the largest
figure ever cast in silver and the sue
cess attendant upon its conception and
production The statue Is somewhat
more than life size, being slightly over
SIX feet in height and standing on
silver pedestal about a foot high.
Thirty Thousand ounces Of sterling
silver, 925-l,o00 pure, was used in east
ing. The finish is such as best TO pre-
serve the whole vigor and spirit Of the
sculptor's model rather than as a speci-
men of the ehaser's art. The metal
is finished in the oxidized form. thus
allowing much more expression in
light and shade effects than as though
highly polished. The latter style OF
finish would give simply a colorless,
hfeless picture, unrelieved by darker
tints.
The process Of casting was not essen
tally different from the ordinary
mode of procedure IN bronze. except
tha: more care was taken in the de-
sails. The sculptor first made in clay
his complete model exactly as il is TO
appear in the finished statue. Then a
mold was taken of the model by aD-
plying a heavy layer of plaster Of
paris. The plaster mold was then re-
moved in arched sections, so that be-
ing removed they could be placed to-
gether SO as 70 form complete figure
with the outlines on the interior.
From this mold a plaster Of paris cast
was made, thus reproducing ia plaster
the identical figure first modelled IN
clay. The plaster cast. covered first
with a coating of shellac 10 prevent

ready for the founder, and in this
form was shipped from the studio OF
the sculptor at Paris 70 the works
where it was east, at Providence, Z. 1.

From the top of the Ferris wheel in

in studying books of travel would
