Arts Tribute to Dewey.
Ruman in lesigu and Pierced
1uitlr Side Openings.

In the triumphal arch and colonnade
which is to be erected at Madison
Square for the Dewey celebration,
New York City is to have a work
which, in the opinion of the National
Sculpture Society, will surpass any
thihg that has before been realized
for such purpose in sculpture dec
grafton.
In general plan the arch will re-
semble the Arch of Titus. The Ro-
man design is altered however, to fit
it for location at the intersection of
four streets by having the main piers
pierced on the east aud west axis of
the arch by smaller openings, as is
done in the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
This leaves really four piers to the
arch, for the decoration of which a
series of bas reliefs and groups is sug-
gested, depicting the call to arms, the
battle, the return of the soldiers and
peace. At the sides of these groups
may be placed heroic figures of great
American naval officers. Secretary
Long, at the request of the society,
e-oO SS'N' AOA LII lAO5C
places the name OF Paul Jones,
Decatur, Hull, Perry, McDonough,
Farragut, Porter and Cushing.
Over the main entrance will
be bas reliefs symbolizing
the commercial Importance of New
York. For the group surmounting
the arch has been suggested a ship
with figure of Victory in the bo W
drawn by four sea-horses. The plans
include also a reviewing. stand which
shall be part of the general sc.,eme
of decoration for Madison Square. 1t
is planned to have it decorated with
groups symbolic of Greater New York
and the five boroughs, and with flags
to make it contrast in color with the
masonry and sculpture effects of the

American watches have made re.

last decade. The expectation of
watches has grown from $2O6, 1880 in
1889, to $771, ,912 in 1898, and in the
fiscal year just ended it reached nearly
a million dollars. To the United
Kingdom alone the exports of watches
during the decade have more than
doubled, while Canada, the South
American countries, British Aus
tralasia, China and Japan are among
our largest purchasers. The predic-
tion made few years ago that the
manufacture of watches by machinery
in Japan would soon result in reduc-
ing our sales in that direction has not

of watches to Japan has increased
from $l1t 1865 in 1894 to $21,4 in

The best and cheapest school OF
journalism is the country newspaper
office. No one can become banker
or broker or a merchant by attend
ing a commercial college. No more
can college course in journalism fit
you for newspaper work. Theory is
one thing; practice is another. If
you aspire to enter the higher ranks,
work on a country weekly as starter.
There is the best possible training for
young man who desires to become
an accurate writer and reporter of
events. In the city one rarely if ever
meets the people he writes about, and
there are no consequences to be feared
on that score. But in the country
there is personal accounting in store
for the scribe who garbles or errs in
statement of facts. This knowledge
drills the habit of accuracy into one
as nothing else will.
