Furnishing Idols In China.

A curious case of arrest and punish
ment of idols took place recently at
Foochoo, China. The idols of certain
temple in that city were those appealed
to by persons who desired to be revenged
on their enemies. They We're supposed
to cause death to those against whom
prayers to them were directed. Recently
the Tartar military commander died
suddenly, and the idea got abroad among
the people that he had been slain by the
idols in question. The viceroy of the
province, hearing this, at once gave or
ders that they were to be arrested and
punished. They were of wood and about
feet high. Before being brought for
Judgment before the prefect, their eyes
were put out so that they should not see
who was their judge and be able to trou-
BILE him either here or hereafter. After
a full investigation report was sent to
the viceroy, who gave orders that the
idols should be beheaded, their bodies be
cast intoa pond, and their temples sealed
up forever, to prevent them from trou-
bling the peace of the city in future.

Five women, all danes of high de-
gree, have been appointed to the COM
mand of crack regiments in the Prussian
army by the present young warrior en-
peror. This is, like most of his acts, an
entirely new departure, but whether it
is shrewd device or simply one of his
peculiar freaks it is well calculated to
achieve his dearest ambition, the exalta-
tion and popularizing of the army above
everything else. Previous to his acces-
sion there were only two women colo
nels in the Prussian army, and none had
been appointed for nearly score Of
years.
The senior woman colonel is the EN-
press Frederick, who was placed in COM
mand of a regiment of hussars at the
coronation of Emperor William I, Oct.
18, 1861. Princess Frederick Charles,
widow of the famous "Red Prince"
ranks second in point of time. She re-
ceived her colonelcy in 1871. Queen Vic
toria was made colonel of a Prussian
regiment of dragons in 1889.
The two first named have often ridden
at the head of their regiments, dressed
in their full regimentals, and one of the
Empress Frederick's most dashing pic
lures shows her thus attired and afield.

TOO MUCH WATER.
The Towns Along the Susquehanna Have
Their Annual Flood.

| At O'Clock on Friday afternoon the
immense ice gorge in the Susquehanna
river near Wilkes-Barre was broken and
the ice started out with tremendous
crash. Another gorge took place later
on between that city and Plymouth, but
cut loose at S.45 p. NJ. The elegant
mansions in the county seat on River
street were in imminent danger of being
flooded. The town of Plains, four miles
north, was under water and people were
imprisoned in the top stories of their
homes.
The Lehigh Valley, Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western and Pennsylvania
Railroad trains were all stalled and traf-
fic entirely suspended from the West
and other points along their lines. The
village of Port Bowkley, between
Wilkes Barre and Pittston, is under
thirty inches of water and in many
places the railroad tracks were covered
with masses of ice. In the small towns
along the line of the river the houses
were all surrounded with water. AT
Pittston the water was twenty-three feet
above low water mark and the excite
ment was great on the west side where
small boats were in use transferring
people to their homes.
Az OOAlOn Ile LeIllSu Ndliey htiiTOdu
yards presented sorry spectacle. The
thirteen shifting tracks were under
several feet of water. A frame building
used by the railroads was floating about,
and the telegraph station had to be aban-
doned, the water having reached the
caves. All the loaded cars were remoy-
ed, hut there were lot of empties re-
naming. Flat cars were invisible ex-
cept as to their loads and freight cars
contained from three to five feet of water.
The Bloomsburg division of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Rail
road was under four feet of water, from
Fortyfort to Wyoming, distance of
four miles. At Tunkhannock, twenty
seven miles north, the river is clear of
ice, but the water is rising rapidly. At
.Towanda, sixty miles north, there is
considerable ice in the river.

SOME WOMEN SCULPTORS.
A Group of Talented Girls and the Work
They Have Undertaken.

A Group of Talented Girls and the Work
They Have Undertaken.
Interesting is the work done by the six
women assistants chosen by the sculptor,
dorado Taft, from among his pupils here.
Thesegifted and earnest young women
are, with two exceptions, all Illinois girls.
They have advanced from assistants to
full titled sculptors, and to each has been
awarded the task of modelling from her
own design heroic figure for the Illi-
nois building.
Julia Bracken is small, snub faced
girl, with dark hair and earnest eyes,
and is less than 81 years old. None of
her family is given to art, but her pre-
dilections found expression even as a
child in quaint carvings in soft wood.
Her work in the studio attracted atten-
ton, and to her has come the contract
for chiseling in Italian marble the
e-foot figure of "Illinois Welcoming the
Nations" The reposeful statue of "Faith''
forthe State building and the Madonna
for the North Side cathedral are also her
work and illustrate her versatility.
Janet Scudder, the Indiana girl who
from the, housewifely accomplishment
of making medallions in butter turned
her attention to work in clay, is working
on an original conception of "Justice," )" of
which captious critic said:
"a woman's idea! No need for her to
weigh evidence or be forever adjusting
fine points of law. She just makes up
her mind what's right and goes ahead" F"
Zulimie Taft, sister of the sculptor, is
working on her figure of Learning" +"
which does not follow the severe Miner
va" ideal, but presents a agracious, woman
ly figure, classic in pose and drapery, her
eyes fixed on roll of parchment. Ellen
Rankin Copp, an artist in color as well
as in clay, has designed an embodiment
of tender motherhood in the figure "Ma-
ternity" and is also making portrait
bust of Mrs. Potter Palmer. Carrie
Brooks, a daughter of the portrait painter,
F. A. Brooks, the youngest member Of
this talented sisterhood, has the contract
for the Cupid" in the central hall of
the Arkansas. building, and Bessie Potter,
st. Louis girl of great talent and prom
Use, is at work upon q female figure hold
ing the symbols of art.
A wonderful impetus has been given
to woman's talent in every direction
through their participation in the prep
arations for the fair, and their work
will fall under the observation of more
people in the six months of the exposi-
ton than in an entire century of Or
dinary existence. The success of one
woman is ever the inspiration of score
whose highest tribute to genius is imita-
ton. Latent talent for wider range of in
dustries than has yet been demonstrated
will manifest itself without doubt and
relieve the overcrowded avenues of en-
ployment, open new opportunities and
make the daily struggle for existence
less prolific in dreary failure than now
obtains. If this is, as has been said, the
woman's Cycle, the Columbian fair is
the grand headquarters of Inspirations
opportunity. Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Crane Chased by a Cyclone.

Six miles south of Sedalia singular
scyclonic phenomenon was visible. A
small cloud was noticed in the north
west moving in southeasterly direc-
ton, whirling and twisting like writh-
ing serpent. Immediately in front OF
the cloud was a monster crane, which
was being borne along by the force be-
hind it and in apparent enjoyment of the
situation until it encountered tree and
was killed, and the tree snapped in twain
an instant later.-Sedalia (Mo.) BaZoo.
