iabored with the house committee to
have importatiOns of this kind placed
upon the free list that the collectors OF
her country might not be embarrassed
in trying to establish worthy galleries
in this land. Major Mckinley listened
to her eloquence, as did the balance of
the house committee. The major re-
commended the granting of the re-
quest. She then moved with great glee
to the senate, but did not meet with
the same success in the upper house.
Art was inserted in the bill as dutible
product. but she never gave up the
fight. She argued that it went there
only as compromise, which was in
itself a half confession, to her mind
that ii had no right there.
Miss Field urged a vigorous crusade
against polygamy. She has proba bly,
spoken in every large city in the union
against this evil, and was a perfect
encyclopedia of facts in relation 10 it.
She went to Utah long ago to study
the institutions existing there, and

Monument by Fred Ruckstrhl, the st.
Louis artist. By many art critics this
is considered one of his BEST efforts.
The monument will be pla led in cir
cular terrace, thirty feet in diameter.
The pedestal is of granite, eleven feet
high, on which will be placed the
bronze statue of "Victory," measuring
ten feet high to the top of the wings.
On the base of the pedestal, in large
Roman letters will appear the dates,
1851 Upon a bronze plaque will
be engraved the inscription.
Mr.. Ruckstuhl has chosen for his
model purely American type of wom-
an, young, graceful and athletic, poised
as if she had just alighted upon the
earth. bearing in one hand the palm of
glory and in the other the wreath of
immortality. With lips slightly parted
and eyes and face radiant with feel
ing of mingled benevolence and tri-
umph, she seems to be filling with
pleasure and pride the hearts OF the
surviving comrades, while she bestows
the well-earned insignia of glory and
immortality upon the dead. The whole
| statue is instinct with life, while pre-
serving the reposeful lines which char
acterize all good statuary. The work
| is conceived upon lofty plane. and
| executed with boldness and artistic
skill. The reproduction OF the statue,
is from a private photographer taken
as it stood in the sculptor's studio.

Henry Woodward, living near Pine
Ridge, Wyo., is engaged In shipping
cattle and hogs to Richford, says the
New York World. He travels on the
train on the Wyoming e. Pacific rail-
road that leaves Richford at 4:30 p, N.
The train does not stop at Pine Ridge
and runs past that station at the rate
of thirty miles an hour. Mr.. Wood
ward alights safely from the moving
train by means of a parachute. The
parachute was made for him in Chi
cagO and measures six feet In diameter
when open. To leave the train Mr..
Woodward mounts brake wheel and
climbs to the roof of car. He opens
his parachute. clings to the rope and
is gently waited from the roof Of the
rapidly moving car to the ground.
Sometimes Mr.. Woodward jumps into
the air with his parachute a little too
soon. At other times he Is carried
somewhat beyond the point at which
he wishes to alight. The fact remains
however that he has never met with
any accident when leaving the train
in this ingenious manner. His feat
has become source of interest and
wonderment to the passengers on the
4:30 afternoon train out OF RichfOrd
The railroad employees have become
used to his parachute jump and are
no longer threatened with nervous
prostration when he makes it, but the
train always contains passengers who
have heard of his feat, but are skep-
teal concerning it.
