" Rags" of the Union
Iron Works.
A Clever Little Terrier That Was
Brought Up on the Cruiser
Olympia.

The men who built the Olympia have a
marked regard for Rags"
Rags is the name of a little terrier dog
that makes the Olympia his home and the
Union Iron Works his stamping grounds.
He knows every part Of the great warship,
and can climb up and down the ladders
leading to the vessels five different decks
quite like a sailor. How he manages to
get about so easily is a my stery, out he has
been trained In climbing ever since he was
a puppy
Rags came to life about the time the keel
of the Olympia was laid and he became
attached to the workmen that were build
ing the vessel about as soon as he could
get around among them and make their
acquaintance.
He learned to walk along the braces of
the hull and to climb about the staging
with such rapiditY that he was looked
upon as sort of a canine marvel and so
respected.
When Rags greets stranger on board
oil the Olympia he does so with few wags
of his tail and friendly sniff. Then he

dropping 1t at his feet. He wants you TO
hide the bolt for him. so that be can have
little fun looking for it and feels deeply
grieveo and insuIted II you fail to notice
his invitation to have little sport
The workmen say that Rags goes every.
where and crawls into everything. One
day there was some iron piping piled upon
the wharf that was being hOisted on the
Olympia by derrick. 4 piece of the pipe
was raised high in the air preparatory to
swinging it on board the ship. Suddenly
it gave a tilt and Rags came shooting out
at one end of it like shot out of a can
non. He struck the wharf pretty hard,
but recovered his composure instantly and
commenced to wag his tail. He never
went into any more pipes, however.
When the Olympia goes into commits

10 the Oregon. He will undoubtedly miss
his old home, but he has lots of workmen

draUghtsman, in finishing the dome draw
ing. looked around for statue which he
could place on top to show the height and
proportion.
He found good subject in Academy
Architecture" and copied it on a scale
showing a figure twenty feet in height.
His work was hasty, although it
caught some of the character of the origi-
nal picture. but he roughly sketched in
another form of dTapery and gave little
more than the suggestion of form. 1t
was simply to give an idea of the effect

Tesenting the press as an educating and
enlightening force. 1t is an heroic figure
holding up the torch emblematic of en-
lightenment. with a bundle Of papers in
the other hand and books scattered around
the base. The drapery is exquisite in its
arrangement. With this and other works
Bitter has attained to considerable fame.
The young architectural draughtsman
little thought that the sketch he drew
would form a connecting link between
Bttter's statue and the accepted design.
But such has proved TO be the fact, as a
first glance at the three designs will show
the evolution of originality in sculpture
and art. In making the comparison il
will be interesting to note the gradual
change in draping Of the three sketches,
then the pose and character. The &C
cepted model bears striking resemblance
to the New York World statue.
And yet one is the allegory of enlighten.

sent Liberty. This is one of the peculiar
Daradoxes of art-as it is found in the City
Hall Commissioners Office.
Between the two figures is the little
sketch Of a young architect. 1t may be
noticed that he gave many valuable sug
gestions unconsciously to the man who

suit himself. The complete drawing, with

their models.
I'VE told the sculptors they were not to
copy the little suggestions of statue, bat
should make their own designs; also that
the boys sketch represented no choice
whatever, as it was made simply for pro-
portions. Wells was one of the men who
were thus informed, and, consequently, he
cannot claim the least consideration for
initiating the dummy figure.

too high. BE agreed to deliver the statue
with few mOdifca tions as specifically
mentioned in the bid. The general CON
tour would be the same and the effect IN

Damages Awarded for the Removal
of a Telephone.

Miss Maggie Barrett. the stepographer
whose Office in The Mills building was in
vaded during her absence and her tele-
phone removed in September last, has
been awarded $500 and costs of suit by a
jury in Judge Hunts court.
1t transpired in evidence that Miss Bar
rett had her telephone for some time and
always paid her bills. She did not pay
promptly in September last, and yet no
collector troubled her. On October 2, a
legal holiday. she entered her office, to dnd
her telephone gone. No satisfaction was
afforded her by the telephone company,
and Miss Barrett brought suit to recover
$1,000 damages, incurred through loss OF
business. ETC.. caused by the removal of
her telephone.
The jury returned verdict for $500 after
short elaboration. One of the jurors
said aftprward that this was intended TO
cover the actual damages and teach the
telephone company that it does not own
