plated by the city during the early
spring of 1899 it is whispered that the
removal of the Great Northern stock

least CONSPICUOUS and important. AS a
rule, public officials have laudable
desire to distinguish themselves by
leaving behind them some public
monument to their wisdom, efficiency
aud devotion to the public welfare,
and the present council will seize
upon she opportunity which the cattle
yard nuisance presents. 1t is we'll.

New Time Table.

The new train schedule on the Great
Northern went into effect on Tuesday
last, and SO far as Sank Centre is con-
cerned it is not nearly as convenient
as the old. This city loses it's two
fast trains daily-Nos. westward
and eastward-neither of them stop
ping at this station. The fast mail or
overland flyer leaves St. Paul at $40
a. No., and goes through this city with
out stopping at 11:53 a. m. Eastward,
it passes through without stopping at
10:45 a. M, arriving in ST. Paul about
2 p. m. These trains carry mail, how
ever, and mail catcher has been put
in position east of the station. The
only advantage this train is to Sank
Centre is the fact that on Sundays we
receive the daily ST. Paul and Mime
apolis papers at noon, instead of $50
p. m. There being no evening train
the Minneapolis Journal is not deliv-
cred until the following morning.
The day trains, not running Sunday,
will arrive here as follows: No. west
bound, leaving st. Paul at 8 a. m.
arrives here at 1850 p. m. instead of
los p. m. as at present. No. 2, east
bound leaves here at 2:08 p. m. instead
of IL M, reaching st. Paul at 6:10.
These trains run on the east side of
the Mississippi river between st. Cloud
and st. Paul while the fast trains run
on the west side.
There is but small change in the
night trains, No. 7, westbound, leaves
ST. Paul at $3.50 p. m. arriving 1850
p. m. No. 8, eastbound, leaves here
at 3:15 a. m. reaching ST. Paul at 1880
q. m.
The branch train will run as fol-
lows: Arrive here at 1890 p. m;

four-horse Roman chariot symbolizes
Peace by no1utng a sword in its left hand
instead of the right and also represents
Victory by waving a large flag surmount-
ed by laurel wreath. On either side
heralds proclaim the approach of the
chariot. On the front Of lie chariot is
the American eagle with outstretched
wings and the motto, "E Pluribus Unum." :"
The group is thirty-five feet to it's high
est point, weighs twenty-five tons and the
contract price was $50 900.
Upon the pediments upon either side of
the arch will be placed two bronze groups,
also by MacMonnies, representing the
United States army and navy. The
army group has just been finished, and
a photograph of ii was received from
Paris a short time ago by a relative of
the sculptor. This is reproduced else
where, and 1t will be seen. is beautiful
piece of sculpture in relief. An interest
ing fact about it is that the figure of the
officer is a representation of MacMonnies
himself, slightly idealiZed Every one
who knows the sculptor pronounces it a
striking likeness.
This group symbolzes the Genius Of
Patriotism urging American soldiers on
to victory. The navy group, which is not
yet completed, will represent American
sailors boarding a vessel at sea, urged on
by another Genius of Patriotism. In or
der to secure a perfect representation of
the proper naval weapons, Mr.. Frank
MacMonnies, a brother of the sculptor,
obtained the loan from the Navy Depart
ment of pixies, cutlasSes and pistols, which
he forwarded to his brother in Paris.
These two groups, when placed in posi-
ton, will complete the memorial arch and
its decorations. The two groups will cost
$50 600 additional, and the completed arch
and its adornments will represent a total
cost of 100000. 1t will, however, be an
art work of which Brooklyn may well be
proud as it cannot be equaled in this
country.
The other fine equestrian groups in
bronze by MacMonnies are to face the
bicycle path at the Coney Island gate to
Prospect Park. One of them has recently
been placed on it's pedestal. and the other
will be put in position before very long.
Each one represents a mounted youth en-
deayoring to restrain two rearing and
plunging horses. The action of the groups
is bold, spirited and realistic, and the
workmanship is of the most finished char
acter.
Frederick MacMonnies, the author of
these notable works. was born in Brook
Iyn In 1862 and evinced a natural talent
for sculpture from his earliest childhood.
At five years of age he stood by a kitchen
table while his mother made bread, and
modelled figures of men, women and ami
mails from the dough- These were so
natural that they soon attracted atten-
ton. He seems to have come by his ge-
MUS by inheritance, for, although his
father was a plain Scotch business man,

Mia Bay, May I, 1885, is the figure of a
young sailor stripped to the waist who

knees and one foot resting upon swing

In this beautiful figure Mr.. French has
admirably embodied the genius of the epi-

country on whose behalf it was going

face is youth-the beauty, confidence and
pure intention of youth. In the pose of
the figure are alertness, fearless upright

his mother was a descendant OF BenJa-
min West, the famous painter
Wax was then given to the child and
he modelled many figures in It, AT the
age of seven he made an equestrian ng-
ure of Washington, which is still pre-
served In his family and is quite credl-
table piece of work. When he was rev
years older he would obtain lump OF
clay from a brickyard near his home ana
model all kinds of figures from 1t. When
he was 10 years old he was taken to Bar
NUNS circus, and as soon as he returned
home he modelled an elephant In clay
AS soon as he left school his father put
him to business, as he did his other sons,
but Frederick was unable to retain po-
sition for any length of time. instead
of running errands he had habit OF nm
gering before art stores to gaze longingly
upon the paintings and sculpture In the
windows.
Finding that he could think of nothing
else but sculpture. his father obtained
situation for him as a clay sitter in the
studio of ST. Gaudens, New YORK. II
was understood that all the time ne could
spare from this duty he could devote 70
modelling Here his father came to his
assistance by inventing machine by
which he could sift as much clay in one
hour as formerly required a whole day
BY this means he had plenty of time for
modelling and at night he attended the
classes at the ACADEMY Oh DeoiSh oiN
the Art Students League. AT 10 ne mace
bust of his father, which was an ex-
cellent likeness.
When he was 90 he took the first prize
at the Academy of Design. His father
then agreed to send him to Paris, and ne
was admitted to the Ecole des Beaux
Arts. In his first year there, when ne
was only 81, he was awarded the nrsl
prize by acclamation. The following year
he received the same honor. His first
important work was statue OF Young
Pan, which has been much admired. This
was followed by a statue of Diana. His
largest commission after this was MS IA
nous fountain at the World FAR, IN
Chicago. This commission was refused
by a number of prominent sculptors, as
the contract required that the fountain
should be. finished in eighteen months,
| and they claimed that the time was too
short.
| MacMonnies submitted his design, 1t
was accepted and he took the commission.
He worked night and day and nearly
killed himself, but on the stipulated day
his fountain was playing at the mead or
the Court of Honor on the worlds Fair
grounds He received $4,000 forsthis, and
It is understood spent that much in max

next works. Then followed the Quad
