Portland, Nov. 4.-The use of homing
pigeons as a means of communicating be-

some enthusiastic grape cure patients.
Grapes and coarse brown bread formed
their principal diet and they ate very
sparingly of other things. Each in this
party average six pounds of grapes daily.
At some of the hotels in Switzerland the
grape cure patients are largely in the ma
jonty among the guests. There are some
hotels In the vineyard districts that be-
come regular sanitariums during October,
when the grape season is in full blast.
These interesting invalids are languid
enough. They sit around on the sunny
piazzas in steamer chairs and look pic
turesque and fetching in their ravishing
matnees or teagowns. Some of them lie
there with their eyes closed, and not even
book in their hands to occupy their
minds. With them it is. a sort of rest
cure and grape cure combined.
Many of the patients who come to Swift
zerland for the cure are society women,
who have had a firing round Of summer
gaieties and are obliged TO spend the fall
weeks recuperating. Most OF them go
nome to a busy, gay winter and must
start In on their social rounds feeling up

They have gowns made for these autumn

uonable to many won en-.

boasted six trunks of lounging robes,
each capable of being worn at an Ameri-
can winter resort.
1t Is pathetic to see how they try to keep
summer with them. 1t is the hight Of
fashion, one might say, to enjoy summer

SILVER STATUE STORED.
The Figure which Montana Sent to
the Worlds Fair Causes a syndi-
cate TrouhIe

From the Topeka Capital.
The Ada Rehan statue Of Justice about
which there has been, and is likely to be,
much expensive litigation, carries an in
teresting story. Romance and fact are
most strangely woven In its history and
the end is not yet.
The expensive piece of statuary Is now
put away in the store of s. Barnum &
Co., awaiting the final action Of the court
as 10 it's disposition. The statue is the
working out of an idea advanced by a
wealthy Montana man, Judge Bickford of
Helena. This gentleman was the chief
promoter of the enterprise and Is the pres
ldent of the company.
As Is we'll known, the statue was shown
at the worlds fair as a Montana exhibit.
The figure is considered as near the IDEAL
representation of the figure of Justice as
it is possible to make.
1t rs popularity supposed that Ada Rehan
posed for the figure, but this story is open
to all sorts of argument One version
which finds many believers is to the eff
feet that an Illinois girl posed for the
figure Whether or not the praises she
received for her entertaining beauty and
superb figure had the effect of turning her
head is not entirely clear. At any rate,
the story goes. that the misguided girl
strayed from the path Of rectitude and
forsoolS all her friends until such time
as she was forsaken by them. NO matter

whether this story is true or not it sounds
well and lends an added, II unhealthy,
charm to a discussion of the famous work
of art
The statue is owned by the Montana
Silver Statue Company. 1t stands nine
feet high and its weight approxlmates two
tons. 1t is made almost entirely of Mon
tana silver, with as much alloy added as
will insure lasting qualities. The cast was
made in Chicago. The first experiment
was lamentable failure, the surface of
the figure being full of little holes and not
at all smooth Then an expert was
brought all the way from Paris, and he
was successful with the casting. The fig
ure stood out a perfect likeness of its
beautiful model
1t is impossible to place even conserv-
alive estimate upon the value of the sta
tue. The amount of silver 1t contains,
reckoned at bullion rates, is considerable,
of course, but Its chief value is as a work
of art. A representative of the stockhold-
ers of the company declares that $4,000 is
not by any means too high an estimate of
its worth.
When the worlds fair had closed the
owners of the statue cast about for some
plan to make 1t a paying investment.
They decided, after due elaboration, to
display 1t in show windows of large stores
over the country for a proper considera-
ton. The plant proved a great success
and but for the unfortunate fact that the
stockholders got to quareling among them
selves, would be followed to-day.
There were two factions among the
stockholders. One led by F. d. Highly,
had charge of the exhibits. The other fac

BlDI'S Message 10 Mothers.
A PROTEST AGAINST THE PREDEs-
TINATION OF INNOCENT BABES
TO EARLY DEATH on A
LIFE OF SUFFERING.

If all the women in America could have
placed before them the actual facts and
figures, giving the number of innocent
babes predestined to disease and death
from the day Of BIRTH they would stand
aghast. 1t is a thousand pites that these
little innocents cannot send back mes
sages from the Infinite Beyond that
would arouse prospective mothers and
cause them to take the only means to pre-
vent this sacrifice of babes.
There is one way, and one way only, in
which women may insure the robust
health of their children. That is by know
ing. themselves, the scientific facts about
the structure and functions of the organs
of their sex. 1t does not do simply to
have a physician who knows these facts;
every woman should know them herself.

The determination of Mr.. Bailey and
the Democrats Of the House not to put
any captious opposition in the way OF
legislation by the Republicans is good
one, though the motive for it is not so
good. Su bstantially their attitude is
that they will put nosebstacles in The
way of the tariff bill, because they ex-
pect that it will bring calamity and lead
he country to turn to tie Democratic
party rs the Moses to conduct it ont of
the wilderness. 1t may he questioned if
it is patriotic to encourage even passiyely
action that will bring disaster, which is
what the Democrats say they are doing.
But as the chances are that they are
wrong in their idea as to the result of
the tariff bill, and that its effect will be
exactly the reverse of their progn ostica-
ton 1t is probably fortunate for the
country that they have taken the stand
they have.

The Board of Regents of the Kansas
State university have dismissed all of
the instructors on the ground that their
teachings were at variance with the
policy of the State administration. Most
likely, the instructors had to turn the
calcium light of truth on the financial
and political heresies of the populistic
state government and that, of course, is
more. than its policy can stand up under.
