ART OUT OF PLACE.
MacMOnnfes's "Bacchante'' Not Suited
to New England Atmosphere.
BOSTON TranScript

The art commission of the city of Boston
need not have gone to the trouble of call
ing in a committee of experts to advise it
as to the bronze figure of a Bacchante by
Frederic MacMonnies. The Transcript long
ago pronounced the statue-eXtraordinar
clever and fascinating it is-inappro-
pirate for the courtyard of the Public Lii
brary. In face of the criticism from which
have constantly defended the architect
and trustees of the library that the art
purpose rad dominated the literary purpose
a figure showed "a lack of tact which might
almost be characterized as Defiance to call
it by no harsher name.
Fortunately for the board of trustees of
the library. the responsibility of the de-

appeal, as has already been proved The
statement given to the public by the sec

the place for this statue. We have no
doubt that the sentiment of the community
at large will eventually uphold this latest

The Bacchante is unquestionably a very
smart performance, indeed far above de-

THE ORIGINAL JACK HORNER. s

San Francisco Examiner
Jack Horner. Of the Christmas pie, really
existed, though whether he deserved the
title of good boy" Is exceedingly doubtful.
He was, however, a fortunate rogue.
When Henry VIII suppressed the mon
asterieS and drove the monks from their
nests the title deeds of the Abbey of Mels
were demanded by the commissioners. The
Abbot of Glastonbury determined that he
would send them to London. and. as the
documents were very valuable, and the
road infested with thieves il difficult
to get them to the metropolis safely.
To accomplish this end ne devised very
ingenious plan. He ordered Savory pie to
be made, and inside he put the documents
the finest filling a pie ever had-and in
trusted this dainty to n lad named Horner
to carry up to London to deliver safely
into the hands for whom ii was intended.
But the journey was long and the day
cold, and the boy was hungry, and the pie
was tempting, and the chance of detection
was small.
So the boy broke off a piece of the pie.
and beheld n parchment within. He pulled
it forth innocently enough, wondering how
it could have found its way there tied up
in pastry and arrived in town.
The parcel was delivered, but the title
deeds of Mels Abbey were. missing.
The fact was that Jack had them I'm his
pocket These were the juiciest plums in
the pie. Great was the rage OF the COM
missioners and heavy the vengeance they
dealt out to the monks.
But Master Jack Horner kept his secret,
and when peaceable times were restored he
claimed the estates and received them.

noon by the same gang of bandits that
looted the town of Carney last week Sac

mounted and armed. They first rode to the
office of Agent Thomas, presumably to de-
mand the money to be paid as annuity to
the Sac and Fox Indians next week. Agent
Thomas had $4,000 in greenbacks ready
to pay the Indians. Thomas was not in his
office. The robbers then went to the store
of Mrs. Fannie Whistler covered the in
mates and took 1886 and valuable papers
from the safe. They then held up J. w.
Moffitt's place, and got $50 and a gold
watch. Chief Keokuk's place was robbed
of $50 and $4,000 worth of notes. The bold
of the robbers frightened the traders
