was a holder OF one Of the compahy's
cupons, of ticket 41i2O6, and was en-.
titled to ~one-fourth of any prize which
that number might win in. the drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery at New
Orleans on April 1lth. The ticket of
that number drew SIS, 900. and entitled
Mitchell to collect on his Little Louisi-
ana ticket Of the same number 3 ,750.
He presented his ticket at the COM
pany's Office, expecting to get the entire
amount. Mitchell now complains that
payment was refused, and says he was
asked to accept s 1900 in full satisfaction
OF his claim. This he refused to do, and
the sequel is a suit which was filed yes
terday against Metzger, Schoenberg and
Franklin to recover $3.50, the full
amount for which the ticket called. The

Ivory carving is very old art, dating
crcdibly back to tho carved ivory collins OF
the Chaldeans, while the ivory throne OF
Solomon, the wise king, Is described at
length in the first book Of Kings, and the
beautiful carvings Of the Ethiopians for
Sesostris in the form of tribute, and the
wonderful work of the Assyrians and
Egyptians are fully attested by writers OF
those days, and specimens may be seen IN
the Central park and other museums ms
Chinese worked in ivory from their earliest
records, and the japanese, Asiatic Indians
and Etruscans, oil left existing traces and
specimens OF q very early date. The finest
modern collections are in the Green vaults
at Dresden and the British museum. The
Vatican ct Rome has some very handsome
specimens, whence came the very hand
some priests memorandum book now
owned by Miss Caldwell, Of this city, tho
work Of which dates back to the period
Of Coriolanus, and which was presented to
her by the pope three years ago.
The method of working and producing q
specimen Ia too full Of detail to be de
scribed at length. but it Is worthy OF note
that. where the carver In stone has men to
rough out the crude block, leaving him
only the finishing details, the carver in
ivory does everything from first to last
with his own hands
The artist introducing ivory carving to
prominence in this country is Fritz X.
Kaldenberg, Of this city. The statuette he
sold to G.. w. Vanderbilt Is bust OF KEN
brandt, twelve inches high and six In
diameter. He has also executed Venus
of Milo for w. II. Rockefeller, price 1880,
and is now working on bust OF Rosallnd,
having Just finished statuette OF Mlgnon,
the beautiful gypsy
Mr.. Kaldenberg is an enthusiast In his
art and says that close observation shows
him that It will take clever American
carver five months to complete a work
worth $1,000 A japanese workman would
be two years and Chinese artist seven
years, and, most important Of all, the Amer
lean workman would be capable OF idealiz-
ing a design, while the other two nations
would only be able to copy an existing
statue line from line. The strength OF these
artists in ivory Is purely mechanical, plod-
ding along in mathematical manner
which would drive high strung, nervous,
artistic American workman to the verge of
insanity
Tusks vary greatly in size, reaching in
some cases ten feet in length and weighing
200 pounds each. livery is now worth three
to six dollars per pound, but will speedily
become cheaper owing to the opening up
of the interior OF Africa and the greater IA
cilities for transport. w. Il. POND.

IN MEMORY OF PHILLIPS BROOKS.
Boston Proposes to Pay Signal Tribute to
His Worth.

BOSTON, Jan. 2i.-The ornamentation
of the centre Of Copley Square by statue
or fountain las been a much-discussed
question in this city for some time past.
The square is beautifully bouEded ana
Trinity church. of which Phillips BROOKS
was pastor before his elevation TO the
Rjshopri,. il one of the handsome Strrc-
lures bounding upon il. There has been
a number of attempts made TO place
statues of more or less distinguished per
sonages in the square. one of them Chris
topher Columbus, but these have been
frustrated by the art commission on the
ground either Of inartistic worth or IN
compatibility.
The Journal says this morning: What
better honor could Boston pay TO the
memory of Phillips Brooks than to place
his statute in Copley Square? or our
illustrious dead is there one worthier or
this tribute?
'By common consent this beautiful
square surrounded by lofty structures Is
consecrated to religion and education Tor
a memorial of a great leader OF Ne"
England thought and life. The man VINO
best deserves place there is the one win
whose tread the pavement was 1aminar
as he passed to and from the pulpit
whence his utterances rang out to New
England to America, TO all humanity
There is no need of further seeking. Let
Copley Square be ornamented by ma
iestic figure i'm enduring bronze or marble
of Phillips Brooks"

twenty-nine local organic atoms were

tions Of interest to their craft, including

two supervising inspectors OF rttanl yes

edopts rules for the government or "lots
which, when approved by the Secretary
Of the Treasury, have all OF the force ana
effect Of the Law. 1t Is asserted that WIN
one exception no member Of this board
has ever regularly served as n PILOT. and
therefore they cannot discharge the duties
devolved upon them with that Intelligence
that comes only with practical experience.
IL is also said that local inspectors. APP
pointees of the supervising inspectors
have occasionally granted licenses 10
thoroughly incompetent and irresponsible
men in scme cases where the party
licensed had never served single day IN
any capacity on ship board. Many OF
the rules adopted by the board of super
vising inspectors are regarded as imprac-
ticable and arbitrary. II is also alleged
that appointments on the board OF super
yising inspectors and on local boards are
sometimes secured through political and
other improper influences, and That the
service suffers i'm consequence. The ses-
sions of the convention are secret.

Difference Between Grain Dealers and the
Underwriters.

BALTIMORE, Jan. PA serious differ
ence has arisen between the grain deal
ers in the Corn and Flour Exchange and
the Board Of Baltimore Underwriters in
rc,dru ~ tIans4erring insurance poiicies
on grain stored in one elevator to make
them cover grain held in another eieYa-
tor. The Underwriters Association Of
Baltimore heretofore issued two kinds
of policies on grain in the elevators. one
is a yearly policy. in which the premium
is IL per cent. on account Of the re-
duced rate at which IL is issued this
policy specially states that it is not
transferable. TO this the grain men DO
not object. The other is what is known
as the short term policy. and is issued
TO run three months. at a quarterly pre-
MUM Of per cent. or per cent for the
year The underwriters have permitted
grain men holding this short-term policy
TO transfer it so as to make il cover grain
In any elevator without extra cost hut
at a recent meeting of the Board OF I'm
derwriters an order was passed prohibit
ing the transfer Of policies, and requir-
Ing the grain men to take out sepa-
rate policy for stock held In different
elevators. This order the grain men are
fighting.
