BRYAN AS MODEL.
Kuehne Beveridge is Executing Bust
Of the Silver Leader.

New York. June 15.-In q quaint, out-Of-
the-way studio, in the heart of the me-
tropolis, Kuehne Beveridge, sculptor, and
for brief time wife of Charles Coghlan,
actor, is working away upon a bust Of
William Jennings Bryan.
Miss Beveridge has fashioned in clay
the heads of all the great men of the
time. Just now the Bryan bust figures
her most important work. It is
great, leonine head that is issuing from
the gray-brown mass upon which Miss
Beveridge began work a week ago-a
head which seems alive, instinct with
fire and virile energy. Miss Beveridge
says the final sitting will be had the COM
ing week, and the work will be ready for
transferment into bronze, after which it
is to be taken to the west to be placed
in the building for which some friends of
Mr.. Bryan have ordered it.
Speaking of Mr. Bryan as a model the
fair sculptor said:
1.-The fact is that I never had so thor
oughly satisfactory a face as his to work
from. 1t lends itself admirably to the
work In the first place there is such
vast power in it-such force. It is posi-
tive in every point and view from what
ever side. There is no passive feature in
it. The whole spirit, well as every
outline, is definite and clear and strong.
Bryan's head, in contour, as well as
pose, is heroic, and to work upon such is
a comfort.
His brow and eyes are wonderful.
There is a kindly humor in them which
you do not often encounter where there is
such keenness and determination. That
is the impressive thing about him-the
way in which so much strength and rug
gedness is coupled and tempered with the
finer spirit. I should fancy him man
women would fall in love with; not for
a month, or a year, you understand, but
deeply and lastingly. But I think he
would be terrible if he were angry.
1.-The lower part of the face shows all
the strength-the chin is one of the
strongest have ever seen; the lips just
little bit cruel in the determination per-
haps-that is, they could be cruel if cir
cumstances called for it in his life and
his affairs. This is only my impression,
you understand
I should not care to have him for an
enemy, and yet Mr.. Bryan. as met him
the other day. was charming-in a strong
and manly fashion,

AN ITALIAN FEAST.
Patent Medicines and Extracts From
a Pitts burg Fire Devoured.


Pittsburg. June 15.-Despite the pre-
cautions of the police officials and watch
men who have been on guard at the
the big fire which destroyed that i'm
mense concern, a large number of Italian
people yesterday succeeded in pushing
their way into what was the basement of
the building before the fire.
The greater part of the goods that
were not burned, such as canned goods,
meat, etc. have long since been removed,
for the protection of health, and the only
thing that was thought to remain among
the debris was a large amount of flour,
which is thoroughly watersoaked, really
a formation of paste
It was into this mess that a dozen or
more foreigners found their way yester-
day afternoon, and, with long sticks, be-
gan to poke about for anything that
might remain which would delight their
peculiar fancies. One of the first things
that was unearthed was a large box.
which contained a number of bottles of
extracts of all kinds, including pepper
mint, vanilla and all kinds of fruit juices.
The foreigners didn't know what they
were, and they didn't care. for that mat
ter. A number of bottles were opened
and the contents devoured, and then the
search continued.
The next thing that was discovered was
a number of bottles of patent medicines
of almost every description, which were
originally guaranteed to cure every i'll.
from a bad cold to appendicitis. The
medicine went the same way as the ex-
tracts had, and just as the foreigners
were beginning to get pale under the gills
the police discovered them.
