ARTISTS MODELS.
I'm Physique, Girls of Irish Percentage
Are the Best.

Chicago Herald's New York Letter.
A prominent artist told me some inter-
esting things about models the other day,
and as the Trilby cult renders these de-
tails of interest, l give them herewith.
Irish girls are, physically speaking, the best
models in this country. Very many beauti-
full models are found among servant girls.
More come from large cloak houses. where
they have been lay figures for the exhibit
ton of handsome garments. They are but
poorly paid and get tired OF that occupa-
ZION and, quite naturally, drift into posing.
Models are very unsteady and not 10 be de-
pended upon to keep appointments They
will do admirably for a time, until they
get money enough ahead to buy fnery.
Then, woman-like, they want to enjoy that
finery, so they vote themselves a vacation,
and the artists may whistle for all they
care. The modesty OF models Is a droll
enough study. A woman who will calmly
walk out ready to pose for the alto
getner' before a room full of men Will
cringe and shrink il an artist goes TO touch
her to alter her pose or scream murder
if he should look at her over x screen be-
hind which she is undressing. A French
dancer in one of the east side theaters
broke up a life class She wished TO
ugnen the meagre salary she was receiv-
ing as a dancer, and SO sought an engage

ing of artistic poses, she struck a series
OF affected and mincing attitudes which
drove the artists to despair and drink But

MRS. HYATT RELEASED
JUDGE STUBS HEARS HER STORY
AND COMMENTS SHARPLY.
Her Attorney Claims to Have Evil
dencc OF n Deep-Laid Plot to-
Blast Her Reputation.

Mrs. I~mogene Hyatt, who was discharged
In Police Court yesterday morning by Judge
Stubs, returned to Peru last night. Mrs.
Hyatt had been in the city since Monday
afternoon, and had been at the police sta
ton. not, however, confined as a criminal.
since early Thursday morning. She came
to this city with a man giving the name
of 4. y. Wilson, who managed to get Mrs.
Hyatt into a house of bad reputation, where
they were both arrested, he. giving bond
and leaving the city.
Mrs. Hyatt's lawyer, Mr.. Butler, of Peru,
was III the city yesterday, and declares that
the whole scheme has been. premeditsted,
and was a diabolical plot to ruin Mrs.
Hyatts character for the purpose of nulli-
flying her evidence in the two damage suits
against Albert Tucker. of Eosciusko coun-
~, in which she is the principal witness.
Mr.. Butler says the mystery is fast being
cleared up, and that the guilty parties are
TO be brought to justice. He has in his
possession two kilograms which, on their
and l.. +. Grady, two Indianapolis railroad
detectives, with the plot.
MI. Butler said that Albert Tucker, whom
Mrs. Hyatt sued for breach of promise, and
against whom judgment was given, is a
wealthy mar who is not controlled by any
high moral character. Since being sued by
Mrs. Hyatt he has figured in several dis
honorable deals, according to Mr.. Buffers
story, and has been in court ON several
serious charges. w. III. Eiler, who also fig
ures in the case, is a son-in-law of Tucker,
and according to Mr.. Butler is as UNI
scrupulous as his father-in-law. Mr.. Butler
says several attempts have been made
previous TO the last to make way with Mrs.
Hyatt, or at least to injure her reputa-
ton. and the parties in the ease had be-
come desperate and were willing to do any
thing.
superintendent Powell still declines to talk
on the subject. but is receiving much yalu-
able information, and is still carrying on an
investigation. When asked about patrolman
simpsons part in the affair Mr.. Powell de-
clared that no charges have been made
against the officer.
If ! should lind out that an officer was
guilty of taking part In such an affair"
said the superintendent with vigor, II
should discharge him unceremoniously.''

II was down at the farmhouse in short

stepped on a sharp stone, tripped and fell,
spilling almost all my milk. Here was a
fix. My pennies We're gone, and / dared not

ten-cent piece. A glance at his face showed
down the valley. Returning with my pail
full of milk and half the money in my
pocket, / went straight up and handed
over both pail and money Giving me the
5 cents change. Mr.. Gould sat down on a
rock and took a good pull from the pail.
Deliberately wiping his lips and with a look
of inquiry, he remarked:

boldly, Yes, sir Another taste from the
