lRture.
The full-size figure of VICTORY" as 1t now
stands is all ready for the transfer of the out
lines TO the sand mould, and finally to the en-
during bronze. The picture here presented
gives the work of art in its perfection.
The model of the artist is Boston lady.
The figure is about five feet eight inches in
hight, and when placed against tho turret Of
the battlesbip the top will stand about 10 feet
high. The artist was under the restrictions of
constructing figure TO fit fat surface. This
is why the wings are somewhat more forward
than would seem aproposing OF the drapery,
especially ia the lower portion, to avoid fatness
or stiffness.
The design is bold and striking one, the
coUntenaDce and general port suggesting the
dignity and resolution which shoud be In keep

helmet bresst-pate aud hip-plate. as well as
the sword, which she carries horizontally, iDdi-
cate the stern purposes of the war, while the
wings idealize speed. The sword, which is
much like n Cuban machete bears on its side
the word Victory" 1t originally bore the
following words, which the artists second
thought transferred to the base: by duty
done is honor won" There is also The name of
the donor-the Common wealth of Msssachu-
sets.
Its position, on the turret between portfolios,
from which two powerful guns will project is
suggestive, and, in a sense, may be regarded as
bearing analogy to the old-fashioned figure

| EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As your
paper is read in so many soldiers homes,
| think a few lines regarding the GAR. Ladies
| OF Kansas will be of interest to some of your
| readers. l will attempt to give you a few
| items. Our State Convention was held in
April at the same time and place aS the GA. T.,
W.R.C., and kindred organizations. Pleasant
greetings and courtesies were freely exchanged,
| and the bitter opposition Of the past seems to
| have died out.
The GAR were most cordial, and large
number of comrades took our obligation and
became honorary members Among these were
Past Commanders and other officers Mother
Bickerdyke is now a member of our Order.
Our newly-elected President, Emma Wall, is
the right woman in the right place. She has
always been an enthusiastic worker for the
best interests of our organization, and her cleo
tion gives general satisfaction. She has been
the recipient of many congratulatory letters,
and our Order will move forward under her
ad Illustration.
The Department Secretary writes that re-
ports show an increase in numbers and interest
during the last quarter. Sister Wall visited
the Soldiers Home at Leaven worth, Memorial
Sunday, and delivered address to the old
veterans, which was well received and highly
appreciated by them. She was given a stand
ing invitation to speak in the Home Church,
ana was most cordially received by Gov. Smith
and wife, and everything done to make her
stay pleasant. Sister Wall has no sympathy
with the attacks being made on Gov. Smith,
and says as far as she could learn his admins
tratiOn is heartily Endorsed by the people of
Leavenworth.
An appeal was made by veterans wife to
the Department for $50, that she might take
treatment at the hospital. She is the mother
of three children and the wife of sick soldier.
The appeal was sent out and generous response
came to gladden. the heart of this afflicted
woman, who is now in Christ Hospital in
Topeka.
The GAR. Of Kansas and its kindred so
cieties are looking forward to the State Re-
union, to be held in Topeka in September.
This promises to be a most interesting time
The various committees are hard at work, and
every effort is being made for a grand success.
One feature will be flower parade, which will
be in charge of the ladies, aud the members
of Circle and Corps are taking prominent
part in this work. The most attractive feature
will be the address of Maj. Mckinley, which
was promised in the Spring.-ADELIA HUNT

months with other physicians and
self-styled catarrh specialists and had
not received n particle of relief till they
began treatment with the English and

stated that his health had been seri-
ously injured by one of these blatant
catarrh specialists.
The specialist who has charge OF this
department for the treatment of Ca

America who has studied under the
famous Sir Morrell Mckenzie, who
was called to th,. bedside Of the late

examination of the credentials of the
staff of the English and German Ex-
pert Specialists that no group or
body of physicians in California can
produce such magnificent letters of
endorsement from eminent medical
authorities on both sides of the At
Iantic ocean.
Without casting any reflections
upon the great body of intelligent
and honorable practitioners of this
state, am free to say that these cre-
dentials bear the stamp of authen-

Geo. Ross and Prof. r. P. Howard,

medical authors and professors on this
continent of North America.
These endorsements, it is safe to
say, are not possessed by any other
Specialists in this country, and are
from men whose signatures are a

Such endorsements cannot fail to
convince the public that Los Angeles
has much cause for the pride she feels
in this model institution and its staff

have studied and worked under the
