Resembles Ship Yard.

Washington. Feb 1S.-Pennsylvania ave-
nue. from Washington Circle at Twenty
third street to the capitol at First street
a distance of about two mileS-noW looks
very much like a ship yard. The erection
of grand stands has been commenced and
great white pine timbers by thousands
are pointing skyward. giving the land
scape in the neighborhood of the avenue
remarkable effect.
The stands are to be much more SUBJ
stantially built this year than ever be-
fore, and also to be made more ornamen-
tai The presidential reviewing stand in
front of the White house is to be eSpec-
tally elaborate, and it is probable that ar
rangements will be made for heating it.
Opposite this stand. from which the
president, the members of his family,
their intimate friends and high officials
of the government will review the pro-
cession, a mammoth stand will be erected
extending along the whole front of I.afay-
cite park. Seats already are being sold
for this stand, which is supposed to be
the most desirable one on the route, and
the first order received was from Mark
A. Hanna, who purchased $50 seats in the
center of the structure, Immediately op-
posite the point where President McKin-
ley will stand, hat in hand, for five hours,

WHITNEY ASKED TO PAY.
He Technically Violates One of Uncle
Sans LAWS.

New York, Feb, 1S:-Gerard Paget.
brother of Almeric Hugh Paget, who
married the daughter of William c. Whit
lney, came to America last spring and
brought with him the English built yacht
Rosemary" The law requires importers
of foreign yachts to pay duty, and the APP
praisers assessed a duty of $500 on the
Rosemary.
Mr.. whitney had learned a thing or
two about the shipping laws while secre-
tary of the navy. He pointed out that
Mr.. Paget could escape paying duty by
giving a bond to export his yacht within
six months Mr. Paget gave a bond in
the sum of $1,000 and William G. Whitney
became his bondsman; The six months
expired today, and when the customs
officials sent to Mr.. Whitney's office for
$1,000, they were told that the Rosemary
had gone back to England several months
ago The customs officials said unkind
things about young Paget for not export
ing his boat under their supervision,
the law requires
Suit for the collection of the bond will
be brought against Mr. Whitney by the
United States district attorney, but as
Mr.. Whitney'S connection with the laws
evasion was only technical, the treasury
department will probably not require him
to pay the S., 900.

were given seats beside Lieutenant Gov

both. There We're calls for Riley to re-
cite ''Nothin' to Say, My Daughter but
the Hoosier poet excused himself with
brief thanks.

A TOPEKA GENIUS.
a Young Sculptor Shows Signs of
Being a Great Artist.

Murett Renwick, the young grand
son of Foreman r. P. Pay of the street
force, is acquiring fame in Kansas City,
where he is studying scenic painting
The home of the boy is with his grand
father at go Tyler street.
The boy is scarcely in his teens. but
he developed startling talent for sculp-
ture and painting before he LETT Topeka
The following notice from the Kansas
City Journal tells of one of his recent
works:
Those who passed the corner of
Tenth and Grove streets yesterday had
their attention attracted by what had
every appearance from the street of be-
ing a piece of marble stutuary repre-
senting Venus de Milo. Hundreds of
people gathered about it during the at
ternOOn.
Instead of a famous piece of stat
uary cut from Italian marble, it was
simply a masterpiece cut from a big pile
of snow with a bread knife. The sym
metrical figure represented Venus with
one arm resting on a pillar. All the
features were brought out with remark
able distinctness and even the veins
were shown on the hands, limbs and
neck In the long flowing hair the CO.
Quettish curlS were shown.
'"The sculptor was Murett Renwick
who spent two hours carving out the
figure. Young Renwick came to Kan
sas City from Topeka last fall to study
scenic painting"

New York, Feb. 1s.-"If there was no
God, who first created man beast?
Who first created a beast like your was
the question which Col. Robert G. In
gersoll. when. travel-stained and weary,
he alighted from carriage yesterday
afternoon and assembled the broad stone
steps of his residence a No. 220 Madison
avenue. The colonel would not have
minded the question probably had it been
conveyed to him in some manner other
than it was, but the question caught his
glance as his hand reached out to turn
the huge bronze knob of his magnificent
front door, There it was engraved on
the door in vandars hand.
The author of the message had chosen
the only smooth surface on the door. and
tiers with some sharp instrument and
having thus grooved the letters into the
hard oak he had further added to the in
dignity by drawing a soft pencil along
the lines. thus leaving the messag very
conspicuous, and making the obliteration
matter of considerable difficulty.

INGERSOLL WON'T ANSWER
Dixon" he says,sIs Too Little Man
to Notice.

New York. Feb. 1S.-Col- Robert G. In
gerson gave a lecture last night in the
Academy of Music on How to Reform
Mankind 1t was an enthusiastic audi
ence, and gave to the lecturers eloquence
frequent and hearty applause. 1t was
thought probable that he would have
something to say regarding the recent
attack of Rev. A. c. Dixon, but he said,
when regarding this, that he would not
notice the matter.
REALLY, such attacks are not worth
mentioning. Mr.. Dixon is too little man
and altogether too narrow to dispute
with He has made some very foolish re-
marks, but am never personal, you
know, and shall say nothing about them
But from time to time in the course of
his lecture he referred to ministers in gen
eral with such a sarcastic manner as
showed that he was thinking of certain
ministers in particular.
Every one is born with defects for
which he cannot be held responsible he
said. Every one but ministers. l mean,
for of course they are all perfect"
He would grant divorces to women for
the mere asking No woman should be
compelled to live with a man and be the
mother of his children against her will.

THE BISCUIT WARTS ON.
It was Opened in Chicago Today in
Earnest

Chicago, Feb. ia war between the
American Biscuit company and the New
York Biscuit company. which both sides
agree in saying will be to a finish, was
openly inaugurated today by the New
York Biscuit companys announcement
of cut equivalent to per cent on the
price of the entire product of the
Germ. Small reductions on particular
lines have been quietly made by both
sides for the past week or ten avs and
eliminated today in the New York Bis
cult company'S reduction.
This action was precipitated by the
slashing of prices yesterday by the Amer
lean Biscuit company. 1t appears now to
be simply a question of which can hold
out the longer: for the American Biscuit
company make no secret of their inten>
ton of at once making a reduction as
great IS that of their rival if not scill
more radical.

PINGREE WIRES CONGRESS-
Expresses His Views Opposing the
Anti-Ticket Brokerage Bill.

Detroit Mich, Feb. 1S-A memorial
signed by many business men has been
forwarded to congress opposing the pas
sage of the anti-ticket brokerage bill.
The sentiments of Governor Pingree on
the subject were wired last night, ex-
pressed as follows:
A ticket, as look at it, is good until it
is used, either for the purchaser, his
friends, his heirs, and his assigns. I be-
Ieve in vested rights. and if my money
is invested in railroad tickets or railroad
stocks believe that 1 have the complete
right to use a part and sell a part if I
see fit Any legislation which seeks to
restrict those rights is un-American.
