ST. Gaudens TO Live Abroad.

Mr.. st. Gaudens, the famous SCULPTOR.
who is now III Paris, has decided to aban-
don his residence in the United States and
reside hereafter in Florence and aft the
French capital. He has given orders to
break up his studio in New York and to
ship his things to Paris at once. Mr.. St.
Gaudens has been regarded as q thorough
American and has been recognized as the
leading sculptor of the United States.
But it appears that he is dissatisfied with
the treatment he has received from COM
mittees, boards and other organizations
who have sought his advice and then re-
fused to accept it. He has been consulted
as an expert by park commissioners,
boards Of public works, committees, iuries
in charge Of architectural competition and
the erection of statues, millionaires who
are building palaces and trustees of IL
braries, churches and other public insti-
tutions. They have frequently called upon
him TO criticiSe works of art submitted
for their approval or which they proposed
to purchase, and while he has received
liberal compensation for such services his
professional opinion has frequently been
ignored and his pride has been seriously
wounded. Therefore he has come to the
conclusion that this country is not a good
place for a true artist, and proposes to
spend the rest Of his life in a community
where his talents and opinion are more
highly appreciated. It is said also that
MT 81 IaudenS, ike many other artists,
believes that he can do better work in
more sympathetic surroundings; that he
will feel an inspiration in Florence and
in Paris, where he will be among con-
genial companions. and at the same time
obtain better prices for his works than in
this country. 1t is true that even an
American will pay a bigger price for the
same piece of art work in Rome or Paris
than he would be willing to pay in Chca-
go or New York. The temptation to buy
over there in an artistic atmosphere is
much greater than here, where a COM
mercial spirit exists, Notwithstanding the
fact that one has to pay a duty when he
takes his picture through the custom
