grace and elegance and conspicuous among

She is a western girl, born and bred in
Terre Haute, Ind. but because she believes
in America and its enormous possibilities
she does not refuse opportunities for broad
ening her culture and strengthening her
mastery of the technique of her art.
Both Miss Scudder and Miss Taft are avail
ing themselves of drawing lessons in the
morning classes of the French mystic
painter. Lew Olivier Merson. Their spare
hours are devoted to serious study of the
masterpieces of the Louvre and Luxembourg,
which pleasure, however. is not allowed to
enroach upon their professional work, the
modelling of strong, realistic busts, that is
really the object Of the foreign trip.
A MISSOURI GIRL.
Miss Bessie o.. Potter, who has done so
much and such excellent work as a sculptor,
is also temporarily in Paris, not with the
intention of initiating either the classic or
the French feeling"

Gus and original, a pioneer work of which
only genius is capable.
Mr.. Lardo Taft, the Chicago sculptor, has
done much to develop this movement and aid
in the cultivation of the new variety of virile,
feminine genius that is manife9ting itself in
the realistic modern art Of the west.
Miss Zulime Taft, whose thoughtful face
and dreamy eyes at once proclaim the artistic
temperament, is a Kansas girl and a sister
OF Lardo Taft, whose pupil she has been for
several years.
With Miss Taft in Paris is her most init
mate friend and co-worker, Miss Janet Scud-
der. Together they braved the fear of sea-
sickness, the horrors of homesickness and the
difficulties of establishing themselves in the
novel studio life of Paris.
Miss Scudderis successes in sculpture date
back to the acceptance of the statue
"Nymph." by the art committee of the In
diana building. The figure was one of ideal

OTHER GIFTED WOMEN.

Miss Carrie Brooks bust of her father is a
work at once life-like and artistic. The
modelling in head and neck is strong and full
of action. while the coat and pedestal are
treated as non-essential. 1t is refreshing to
find an artist who ignores the temptation of
putting realistic touches in coats, neckties,
ETC., but leaves such details where they
rightly belong, to the tailor.
Harriet Randolph Hyatt, though working
along the same line as these clever young
western artists, is a New England woman.
She was a pupil Of Henry Hudson Kitson at
the Cowles art school.
Miss Hyatt's special talent seems to lie in
the direction of the reproduction in clay of
various emotions. Sorrow, pathos or amuse-
ment are shown SO faithfully in her ideal and
portrait busts as to give the impression that
the expression is actually the result Of human
experience rather than the mere handiwork
of dextrous fingers supplementing genius.
There is no questioning the genius and
sincerity of these young women sculptors
They believe in their country, their art and
in themselves. They are responding nobly to
the demand for a national art, an art pos
sessing American spirit and American enter
prise. 1t remains to be seen whether the de-
mand was a cry from the heart of the nation
or temporary clamor for a new fad.

Miss Bracken went to Chicago from Apple

girl, without influence or money. She de-
veloped her talent at the art institute In the
evening. In the day time she earned the
money to pay for that development.
An interesting story. illustrative of Miss
Bracken's perseverance, patience and in
domitable will power is told in connection
with the work on her well known statue.
"%Illinois Welcoming the Nations" OF course
she was delighted when she received TIE
order from the woman's board. The figure
was to be put in bronze and she was to be
paid $ $500 for it.
Unfortunately she received two ether
orders at the same time. She had only
three months time in which to execute
the three commissions and she succeeded
in doing this to every one's satisfaction. ex-
cept her own. And just before the time for
casting" of the illinois, she announced
her determination of doing it over again.
The ladies' of the board demonstrated with
her, expressing their willingness to accept
it. But Mss Bracken was in earnest. The
work was hastily done and must be put
aside.
The new model was slowly developed, ard
the result was satisfactory, even to the
artist herself. Ard well it might be, for she
had sacrificed to her high ideal a trip to
Paris; that money met her studio expenses
while at work. She had ~foregone a sum-

HANGED AT LAS CRUCES.
Jesus Garcia Paid the Penalty of His
Life for the Cold BlOOded Murder
Of Il Woman at Iona Parda.

Jesus Garcia to-day paid the awful pen
atty of his life for the dreadful crime of
murder in the first degree at Iona Parda
some months ago. He was hanged at
Las Cruces this forenoon by Sheriff Gar
ret.
Inasmuch as the story Garcia's crime
has not recently been printed in the Dona
Ana county papers the New MEXICAN is
only able at this time to give meager
outline thereof. The information at COM
mand shows that the murder was cold
blooded and premeditated; that for some
time previous the man Garcia had been
living with native woman at Iona
Parda; that the woman angered him by
denying him access to her house; that he
went to her house several times for the
purpose of trying to patch up the differ
ence; that finally he went to the house
armed and at the end of brief interview
killed the woman.
Garcia was tried before a jury of his
peers in the district court at Las Cruces
at the late September term. The evi.
dence against him was conclusive. In
deed he originally pleaded guilty to the
killing. He was accordingly convicted
and, on the 21st of September, was SEN
fenced to be hanged on the 9th day OF
November between the hours of 6 O'Clock
in the morning and o'lcook in the after.

A person who has never been In the DO
lar regions can have no idea of what cold
Is. When we have the temperature down
to 10 degrees or Ii degrees above zero, we
think it bitterly cold, and If our houses
were not as warm as at least 30 degrees
above zero we should begin to think OF
freezing to death. Think, then, of living
where the mercury goes down to 80 degrees
below zero In the house, In spite of the
stove. OF course In such case fur gar
ments are piled ON until man looks like
great bundle Of skins.
Dr. Moss Of the polar expedition of 1876
and 1876, among other odd things, tells OF
the effect of cold on wax candle which
he burned there. The temperature was 90
degrees below zero, and the doctor must
have been considerably discouraged when,
upon looking at his candle, he discovered
that tho flame had all 1t could do to keep
warm. 1t was SO cold that the flame could
not melt all the wax Of the candle, but
was forced to cut its way down, leaving o
sort Of skeleton Of the candle standing.
There was heat enough, however, to melt
oddly shaped holes in the thin walls Of
wax, and tho result was a beautiful lace
like cylinder of white, with tongue Of
yellow flame burning inside 1t and send

1t appears that on the death Of Alexan-
der III the Countess Stroganoff wished to
drape her palace in Grape, etc., but the au-
tocrat of the city, Lieutenant General Won
Wahl, sent word that nobody was to drape
his or her house in Grape, or anything else,
until he Issued orders. Notwithstanding
this very clear order, the resolute, jealous
and loyal countess ignored the wishes Of
the all powerful Won Wahl, and, in fact,
calmly sent word to him that she intended
doing exactly as she pleased in the matter
of draping her palace. And she did so.
Enraged at being set at defiance In this
way, Won Vail sent a posse Of constables
to the Strognnoff palace TO tear down the
emblems Of mourning. This was exactly
what the lady wanted She at once let
the young czar know what was going on
and painted the outrage in the most glow
ing colors, and the result was that young
Nicholas promptly ordered the great gov
ernor Of St. Petersburg to remain at his
residence for three days. One must know
st. Petersburg well to understand how
much Won Wahl is detested there, and,
moreover, the childlike nature Of the Rus
