An Original Fountain.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
A very original monumental fountain. de-
signed and modelled by the Berlin sculptor.
Hans Dammann. was recently unveiled at
Linden. near Hanover. The center figure
rises to a height Of about twenty feet. In
the center Of a large basin heavy Gothic
column rises, and upon this pedestal stands
the figure Of a watchman in medieval cos
tune. His left arm is stretched out, and
holds the long halbert. from which a Ian
tern is suspended. which Will be Illuminated
by an electric light at night. In the right
hand he holds a large horn, which Is raised
to the mouth. as If he were going to give
the hour by horn signal. At the belt there
is bunch of large keys. This statue is
more than life size and is product of true
artistic humor. Next to this oiden- time
night Watchman a large, strong dog is sea t.
ed. looking up at his master and appar-
entity sharing his nightly watches. Just
beneath the capital Of the Gothic column
four large cats spout water, and still fur
Their below four bats are placed. which also
serve the aquatic display. The column and
pedestal are of Swedish granite, while all
the figures are cast in bronze.
This monumental fountIin Is one Of the
most original works Of modern art, and
German art critics are very lavish in their
praise of the young sculptor.

Mr.. Bryan, the democratic candidate laS,
hlght gave out the following in reply to
numerous telegrams from all parts Of the
country:
Inc democratic national committe,
Galms enough states to give a majority in
the electoral college, but the vote is very
close IN several of the states and the res,,l,
cannot be positively known until the entire
vote is counted. In all close contests II "a
wise for both sides to watch the returns IN
guard against the possibility of mistake
intentional or unintentionaL."
Mr.. Bryan dictated this statement to q
typewriter. but when pressed for something
more Tor the press. declined to weld say
ing thdt ne could give no utterance 10 his
OPINION as TO the result, or outline his in
tentions until the outcome should he ,,efi-
hitely known. ~
IN conversation with friends, he freely,
discussed the probabilities, referring to the
cioSehess OF the Vote in several of the states
ana comparing notes with them on the
cnahceS IN kentucky, Indiana West Eir-
sinit ana othsr states Of apparently mar
TO" margin. He read all bulletins with in
terest, but in reply to questions sail he W., 9
iot aio"lhs the uncertainty to cause the
least degree OF worry. He spoke cheerfullv
10 all. Dut II became evident toward the
latter part Of the day that he was growing
less and less hopeful. He was especiaIIy
efatliled at the result in Nebraska and took
occasion to earnestly congratulate the
chairmen of the various county and stat
committees located in Lincoln on their work
