for a monument. Then, there is

Lief Ericsson statue in Boston stands
here. The good old man who delivered
the address at the raising of that
statue and became the chief antiquary
concerning the Mortimer in America,
Prof. Horsford, talked with at the
Virginia hotel, Chicago, when the fair
was opened in October last. He
showed me his medals from the king
of Denmark for having located the
spot on Charles river, Massachusetts,,
where Ericsson built his town. did
not know that Mr.. Horsford was dead
until / saw it in a little guide book de-
scribing the Rabida convent, and he
died last spring. The statue of Lin
coin, by St. Gaudens, in Chicago, is
generally regarded as the most origin
al and effective monument extant of
that great man. Not far from it is very
imposing equestrian statue of Grant,
overlooking the lake, one of the
largest statues. in this country. On
the front Of the same lake, some
four miles distant, is the statue OF
Stephen A. Douglas, on the summit of
q high monument. Between the two
is the recently erected statue of CO.
lumbus. The statue of the Republic
will also, understand. be the model
for numerous sculptural creations to
come. In another part of the town is
a statue of Columbus when he was a
student at the University of Pavia.
The Germans have erected statue OF
one of their home poets in a park in
Chicago. Statues of several benefac-
tors of the town are to be found here
and there. I recite these works to
show that the spirit of statuary has
gone far west.
While looking through the picture

along with pair Of foreign artists and
picked up these points about some Of
the men we read Of:
Laurence Alma Tadena was born III
old Friesland, Holland, in 1885, fifty
seven years ago; was a pupil of Baron
Leeys at Antwerp, and from youth
busted himself with Roman and Egyp-
tian antiquities, things much affected
by the English who liken themselves
to the Romans and from Shakespeare
have robust models of Roman scenes.

man, born 1919, and produced the
stDerby Day. in 1854, the Railway
Station in 1852, which brought him
forty-fve thousand dollars from an en-
craving publisher, who made eighty
thousand dollars with and by it.
Cabanel, from the south of France,
was sent to Rome at government ex-
pense to be educated, after he had pro-
duced two notable pictures, and from
painting tableaux he went into por-
traits, and became the favorite painter
of Empress Eugene; he made modern
women Venuses, and SO refined his
fesh-tints that he approached insip-
idity, but he brought up good many
excellent students. for painters are
known by their pupils as well as by
their paintings.
Meissonier came from Lyons, born
the year before the fall of Napoleon
Bonaparte He chose genre subjects,
and was both military and sentimental
in his themes, and his paintings
bounded up to high prices. An Aneri-
can from Cincinnati gave about $50, 600
for ono of his military pieces twenty
Ave years ago. Stewart, of New York,
gave SeO, 900, it Is believed, for one of
his Napoleon pictures, on which he is
said to have worked fifteen years, and
which stands about the highest in size
of any of his canvases. He had an
accurate hand, and could therefore
paint in small proportion with all the
reality of one far-sighted, who sees
things in distant perspective. All in
all, he has been the most worldly wise
of modern painters, and it is hard to
believe that genre painters of the
seventeenth or eighteenth century
were any better than himself.

Presentation to Rev. John G. Wilson.

Yesterday afternoon some representa-
tive members of the Abyssinnian church
surprised their former pastor, Rev. ]. G.
Wilson at his residence 1876 Bracket
street, by an unceremonious call, when
soon after Corey & Co.'S furniture wagon
stopped at the door and very handsome
bed lounge was carried into the house.
Rev. Mr.. Clark, the new pastor OF the
Abysinian church was on hand to pre-
sent the lounge to his predecessor in be-
half of his friends of that church, in a
very pleasant speech. Following the
presentation of the lounge, an envelope
containing $35 was handed to Rcv. Mr..
Wilson by Rev. A. H. Wright of the st.
Lawrence street church, who stated that
it was the gift of some of Mr.. Wilson's
appreciative friends in the city, who
recognized that he had labored incessant-
" during his long pastorate for the NOR
al and spiritual interests of the city. To
the presentation speech of Mr.. Clark and
the few words of Mr.. Wright, Mr.. Wilson
made very feeling response. The &C.
casion was very happy one to all pres
emit.
To Mr.. Lynn V. Farnsworth, superin-
tendent of the Abyssinian Sunday school
for many years, is due the credit OF ar
ranging the matter of the deserved testi-
monial to Rev. MIR. Wilson.

Modern Athletes and Their Predecessors.

Modern Athletes and Their Predecessors.
In Outing S. Scoville writes concern
ing athletic records. He is no believer
in the doctrine that in former times men
were more powerful and active physic-
ally than they are at the present day.
He considers that the best of the Greeks
were probably little superior to the
athletes of today, but to the Greeks
alone does he award this praise. The
remarkable records of feats Of strength
and endurance that are quoted as proof
of the physical degeneracy of mankind
he is inclined to treat with scant respect.
Where reliable records have been pre-
served he shows that in all contests the
athlete today is an ADLER man than his
predecessors.
The cause assigned is better hygienic
conditions, a more intelligent system OF
training and better knowledge of the
laws Of health. The author shows that in
all running races, save the long distance
races, and in walking contests the time
is far better now than it was before and
that the same superiority can be shown
to exist in every branch of athletics in
which tits possible to make comparisons.
While admitting that more perfect
tracks and appliances of all kinds are
accountable for a part of the gain, Mr..
Scoville is of the opinion that the modern
athlete would have beaten his predeces-
sor on his own grounds.

AN ACCIDENT AT THE ISLANDS.
Walter wescott's skun Fractured by a
Fall-He Is Likely to Die.

Last night at Peaks Island, while the
merry crowds from the theatre and the
big rink were thronging to the boat, a
man plunged from the bank between the
Forest City landing and Jones's wharf.
A whisper went through the crowd mo-
ment later and the knowledge that one
probably dying was ON board stilled the
laughter and jest among the passengers
on the steamer. The unfortunate man
was Walter J. Wescott. He was seen to
stumble at the edge of the bank. which
is about ten feet in height, and then ne
disappeared from the view OF those stand
ing near. He had tripped over a piece of
wood and fallen headlong to the rocks
below. Physicians were near at hand
and when the unconscious man had been
taken from the rocks, they made an cx-
animation. An ugly fracture of the skull
and dangerous injuries about the chest
were the result of the fall. On the AZ
rival of the steamer in the city, Wescott
was taken in Rich's ambulance to the
Maine General hospital. At a late hour
this morning he was still unconscious
and his chances of recovery were re-
garded as slight. 1t is reported that at
the time Wescott stumbled and fell he
was engaged in friendly scuffle with a
man whose name was not learned.
Wescott lost his right arm several years
ago, when he was employed as brake
man on the Grand Trunk. and since that
time has been employed in other capaci-
ties by the road. He has wife and two
children. Before he lost his arm, Wes-
colt was quite widely known as banjo
player. He is about 81 years old.

The worlds fair is an undertaking

like running water. The Americans
are quite DESTROYS to make up to for
eign nations in the lines of art. In
point of fact, we do as much for art as
a mercantile investment as any other
nation abreast of us. Hitherto most OF
our public statues have been made upon
the spur Of the moment, and most of

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Grimes's Cellar Door.

Isaac B. Mackie, the accomplished
comedian, will present his new, bright
musical comedy entitled "Grimes's Gel
lar Door," which is one continuous laugh
from beginning to end, at Portland thea
tire Thursday next. Mackie is favorably
remembered here for his inimitable work
as sGrimesey Me Boy in IA Bunch OF
Keys" but as strong hit as he was IN
that piece, his work in his new part,
BILLY Crimes" who owns the Cellar
Door, is said to totally eclipse all of his
former efforts.
The Pavilion.
ssFair Play will be seen for the last
time at the Pavilion today and all who
visit Peaks Island should be sure and
take it in before they come home. 1t has
given great pleasure to great audiences
all the week but it must be removed after
today to make for other attractions.
Shores Acres.
ashore Acres,n that most fascinating
and realistic play based upon the life of
the sturdy New England farmer, which
had such phenomenal run at the Bos-
ton Museum last season, has been put up
on the road this season in superb
fashion. Handsome and appropriate
scenery has been exressly painted for the
tour and nothing has been left undone
to make it one of the strongest attractions
of the year. The company is of extraor-
binary excellence. 1t is headed by the
author, Mr.. James A. Herne, who has
virtually created character new to the
stage in his honest, gentle hearted
Nathaniel Berry. Hesis ably supported
by corps of well known and popular peo-
pie The stage pictures, the locale OF which
is the vicinity of Frenchmen's Bay, near
Bar Harbor, are among it's strongest
features. ashore Acresn will be seen at
Portland theatre during the season.
The Senator.
The "Senator" gives excellent oppor-
tunities for the best kind of comedy
work. In it Mr.. Aldrich, last season,
made most pronounced hit and, OF
course, will repeat the record this year
adding to the perfection of his impersona-
tion by the ripening of his experiences.
He will be supported by an excellent
company of players, among whom will
be Miss Hattie Russell (Ada Rehan's
sister) and Mr.. Braham, who has given a
new Chinaman to the stage. The Sena-
tor" promises to be one of the strong
cards of the season in Portland.
