THE ST. GAUDENs MEDAL.
The Artist Will Drape His Male Figure
Put in a New One.

Although the Treasury Department has
not been officially Informed to that effect, 1t
Is understood there that Mr.. Augustus ST.
Gauders OF New York has arranged to put
clothes on the much-discussed male figure

II himself Mr.. John W. Woodside OF Phila-
delphia. one OF the medal commissioners
has been interviewed on the subject He
said St. Gaudens promised to finish the
medal about two weeks ago. He will listen
to a few words of advice on the subject of
medal making first, and il all things can be
arranged he will change his model here
and there that better medals can be
struck from il. Mr.. Woodsde said that
while ST. Gaudens is one of the greatest
scUlptors that this country has ever pro-
duced, he is by no means the greatest medal
maker. ST. Gaudens. he thinks, can no
doubt make the best model for a medal. but
through his want of familiarity with tech
meal points. this model cannot be struck
OF well, and the net result Of his work
might therefore not be so good as the result
OF the work of some inferior artist who
thoroughly understands dye cutting and
the like.
Mr.. Woodside had a few words to say
on the nude in art. He remarked that he
saw nothing Objectionable in the nude, but
that there were very many good people who
did OF course ne thought that il was
better to educate the people up to an ap-
probation of art, but he did not think that

A SUGAR MANS VIEWS,
His Idea of the Effect of the Wilson
Bill on the Industry.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-M. A Lunn, editor
Of the Beet Sugar Enterprise. is in Chicago
In an interview last night he talked dis
couragingly about the effect Of the Wilson
bill upon the sugar industry He said that
In his state of Nebraska the business has
grown to large proportions and promises
to become one of the leading industries of
the nation, so far as western products are
concerned. He declared that the bounty
provided by the Mckinley law had been
of great benefit to the enterprise, and had
induced capitalists to make Investments
He was of the opinion that the Senate
should either continue the bounty or put a
tariff on sugar from foreign countries
Speaking Of the magnitude Of the sugar
trade Mr.. Lunn said: This country can
grow all the sugar it consumes and when
IL is recalled that We expend 81 600 600 900
a year for foreign sugar, the importance of
protection Of the home industry becomes
apparent. II 1t raises the price Of sugar to
the consumers l cent a pound the people
will not feel it, and keeping at home of
that enormous sum of money We now send
abroad will go a long way in solving the
financial problem of the country Under
the Mckinley law the home industry made
gigantic strides; in 1891 We made IL, 600 600
pounds Of sugar-beet sugar-in 1892 We
made 100000 pounds, and last year the
crop was As. 100000 pounds. There is an
increase of nearly 400 per cent in three
years. 1t is the most profitable crop that
a farmer can raise.

THIRTEEN WE'RE MURDERED.
Horrible Slaughter of Innocent Chick
ems by William Johnson.

william Johnson. a negro burglar, who
went out to operate this morning before
daylight, took with him a rabbits foot for
good luck. and a policeman's whistle for
some reason not apparent, but when he
reached Mrs Wells hen house in rear of
1915 18th street he stole the unlucky num-
Der of thirteen fowls. and the result was
that he got caught before he had reached
BONE and had one of the young chickens
fer his breakfast. William is tall black
man, whose long arms are able to reach
hiSh-rooSting fowls. that when he had
succeeded in taking board from the hen
merry he had no trouble reaching the fowls.
One at a time he took down the chickens
and beheaded them until the thirteenth
headless fowl had dropped into bag he
had with him. and then he started for
home. walking slowly, as though he was
only carrying bag of coal. in order to
avoid being suspected of theft.
Mrs Wells arose this morning at her
usual hour, about 6 o'clock, and when she
went to let the chickens out for the day
places on the roosts. Then she saw where
the board had been removed. and without
losing any time, she called to her son,
George Wells, and told him what had ha p
pened George looked out the window. and
some distance down the street he saw the
colored man walking along with The bag
over his shoulder. He soon got his clothes
on. and then instead of raising an outcry'
he walked down the street and, touching
the bag. he made the discovery that there
was certainly no coal inside. but there wa
q soft feeling. and. although no blood was
visible. he concluded that the chickens
were there.
You have my Chickens he said to the
big negro. who was large enough to pick
him up and walk OF with him.
And what Of it%' was the response
Then the men went together and a lively
fight was promised, but a citizen who hap
pened to be passing at the time, came to his
assistance. and soon afterward a police
man arrived on the scene
Johnson, together with the chicken Ems, his
rabbit foot and whistle, went to the police
station and later in the day he appeared in
Judge MIller's court on a charge Of bur-
glary- He plead guilty to the charge and
Judge Miller held him in $500 security to
await the action of the grand Jury.
