GEN. MILES BRINGS SUIT.
Alleges Infringement Upon a
Copyright.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 10.-General Mel
son A. Miles and Frederick Remington,
the artist, have commenced suit in the
United States Circuit Court against the
Werner Company of Akron and Richard
p. Marvin, receiver of that company,
because of an alleged infringement of
a copyright.
General Miles says in the petition that
he is the author of book entitled "Per-
sonal Recollections of General Nelson
A. Miles; or, From New England to the
Golden Gate" embracing the story of
his Indian campaign, and illustrated
with pictures by Frederick Remington
and other artists.
General Miles alleges that he secured
a copyright of theT book on March 4,
1897, and that the copyright included
reproductions Of original sketches by
Remington, who had an equitable inter-
est in the copyright. The Werner Com
pany had contract to publish the book,
but, under the agreement, the illustra-
tions were to be used solely for that
book. The plaintiffs allege that the de-
PENDANTS have linlawfully published a
volume, under the title of "Remington's
Frontier Sketches y which is an in
fringement upon the copyright, for the
reason that the identical reproductions
of Remington's sketches are reprinted
in the book.
Judge Kicks granted a temporary re-
straining order against the Werner
Company. 1eseT nr

Said That He Will Soon Retire
From the Army.


SAVANNAH (Ga.), Dec. 10.-Colonel
w. j. Bryan, Third Nebraska Regiment,
has either forwarded his resignation to
Washington or is about to do so. OF
this there seems to be no doubt. To-
day he called on General Lee, COM
mander of the Seventh Corps, and Gen
eral Kiefer, commander of the First
Division Of the corps of which Colonel
Bryan's regiment is part, and is un-
derstood to have announced his inten-
tion of quitting the service. General
Lee is to sail for Cuba on the transport
Panama tomorrow, and Colonel Bryan
is believed to have fastened his deci-
sion in order that he might acquaint his
corps commander with his intention
prior to his departure for the island.
Neither of the commanding Generals
would discuss the matter, and referred
to Colonel Bryan as the proper source
to get any news. Colonel Bryan would
neither deny nor confirm the rumor,
but stated that when the time came he
would prepare written statement and
give it to the press so that there would
be no possibility of any misstatement
of his position.
"It is we'll to have the newspapers to
talk through said he, with a laugh,
they beat your hat all hollow"
Colonel Bryans regiment understands
to-day that he will be their commander
but few days longer. Lieutenant Colo
mel Vifquain is quoted by other officers
of the regiment as having told them
that there would soon be promotions in
the regiment, as Colonel Bryan would
resign, and he would succeed him as

FRED GUNTHER'S FATAL LEAP
JUMPED FROM A RAILROAD
HOSPITAL WINDOW.
Was De1irious From Long Illness,
and Had But a Few Days
to Live.

Late on Friday night Frederick Gum
ther, an inmate of the Railroad Hos
pital, jumped from the window of a
second story ward and received in
juries from which he died a. short time
afterward.
Gunther, who was about So years old,
had lived in this city for many years.
He was a coppersmith, and prior to his
illness was employed in the copper
shop at the railroad shops. He had
been in the hospital since February
last, and was being treated for Bright's
disease. For several weeks past he
had been delirious, and it is supposed
he was in that condition when he
jumped to his death.
The remains were taken in charge
by the Coroner, and last evening an
inquest was held DR.. B. s. Nourse,
house surgeon of the hospital, testi-
fled that Gunther had been delirious
for some time.
w. j. Clavenger, nurse in the ward
in which Gunther was treated. testified
that about 11:3O o'clock he went into
the ward to make fire, and saw that
Gunther was not in bed. He also saw
that window had been opened, and
looking out saw Guntner on the ground
below He went down and found him
unconscious, in which state he re-
mained until he died a few minutes
later.
The jury returned verdict that
death resulted from injuries received
by jumping from a window while de-
lirious.
The hospital physicians state that
Gunther's death was a matter of only
few days, as he had been failing
rapidly 1t is understood that the en-
ployes of the copper shop intend to
see that the remains are properly in
tered.

Miss Jane Barlow, the author of the
Hleverest Irish tales of the day, is the
daughter of a senior fellow of Trinity
college, Dublin. She lives quietly at

ual visits to the west of Ireland, the
scene Of most of her stories of peasant

In 1897 without alteration. The Lines

the third manuscript, which is a poem
of only two stanZas, has never been

Art Interchange: The death of Jean
Louis GARNER deprives the world of
another of the renowned architects of
the century. GARNER first studied in
the special school of designs in Paris,
winning many prizes. He afterward
spent six years under the direction of
NM. LEVEL and Lebas, in the ecole des
beauX-arts. He concluded his course
by winning the highest prize for archi-
lecture. In 1S4S M. GARNER went to
Greece, where he measured the famous
temple Of Jupiter in Aegina. The repro
duction of this in polychrome was an
interesting feature of the exposition of
1865. The work by which he will be
best remembered is the opera house in
Paris.
George Frederick Watts, the we'll
known and much-respected English art
ist, is now in 18th year. Despite his
advanced age, his mental and even ply
sica1 activity are remarkable. With
Mrs. Watts, the artists residence is at
Compton Moor, in Surrey, and here
they are carrying out new kind of
practical usefulness. There is a chapel
to- be built at Compton Moor, and under
the supervision Of the artist and his
wife the villagers are working up his
plans for the building. For some time
past the country folk have been taught
to model in clay, to carve in wood, and
to fashion iron SO that their handi-
work may be found useful in the decor
alton of the chapel. There is something
very beautiful in the fact that painter
and his wife in the decline of their
lives should still become stimulants for
the production of good and artistic
work.
A writer in the Studio" makes a
plea for further extension of the sys-
tenn of "bi-manual training" This sys-
tenn originated in Philadelphia about
fourteen years ago, under the super
vision of Professor. Liberty Todd, and
was subsequently adopted by the Board
of Education in the primary schools.
The training is not compulsory, but
about 1000 boys and girls attend the
Central Industrial Art School one half
day in each week to undergo the
course. The exercises consist in draw
ing with chalk upon a blackboard, in
clay y-modeling, and in wood-carving,
both hands being employed simulta-
neously in producing the same form.
The results obtained are sufficient
proof that the average tendency to
limit ourselves to the use of one hand
