There are some members Of the New
York Yacht club. however. who claim
ed that even if Mr.. Lawson built a cup
defender and she should defeat the
Belmont syndicate yacht. she would
rot be eligible 10 defend the cup. as
Mr.. Lawson was not a member of, the
New York Yacht club. With view of
eyading this rule Mr.. Lawson, it is
said. is now trying to arrange for a
Boston syndicate to build the boat. and
so long as one member of the syndicate
is a member of the New York Yacht
club the boat would be eligible to race
and defend the cup.
However. the fact that Mr.. Lawson
is not a member of the New York
Yacht club should hardly stand in the
way of his building. as in every cup
race year, except possibly 1899, the
New York Yacht club has always is
sued n circular letter to yachtsmen.
asking them to assist in the defense
Of the cup by building boats to enter in
the trial races. This is as it should be.
as the cup is no longer n mere club
matter, but is of national Importance.
and the safety of the cup should be the
first and only consideration.
W. Butler Duncan. Jr., the manager
of the Belmont syndicate boat, who is
4 true sportsman as we'll as n first
class yachtsman. voiced the views Of
York Yacht club the other day when
he said: 80 Lawson is going TO build.
Well. the more the mcrrier."
When asked If the fact that Mr.. Law
son was not Il member of the New
York Yacht club would prevent his TAX
ing part in the trial races. he said:
Il know of nothing to prevent the boat
coming in. | don't see how you can
keep him out. In the old days the club
used to invite yachtsmen 10 come to
the defense of the cup. and l think the
club would have done the same thing
this year had they thought any one
else wished to build"
In spite of Tny denals that may
come from Boston. Mr.. Lawson is still
seriously considering building Il cup
defender. and the best proof of it is
that prominent New York yachtSman
was hastily summoned to Boston the
other afternoon to consult with the
Boston financier.

Michael Angeles Masterpiece.
In one of the schools of the District is
copy of Michael Angeles Moses"
That small Statuette was 4 storm CEN
ter for weeks, the pupils and teachers
vying with each other in an attempt to
find an answer to the question of one
of the small pupils who gravely que
ried the why of the incipient horns
which ornamented the head OF the
rugged leader of the Israelites as he is
represented in this masterpiece of Mi
chael Angeles, a masterpiece, by the
way, which started out to be Il Jove or
some other fiction of the brain. but
which the great sculptor finally shaped
into the likeness of Pope Julius and
christened Moses"
For 40 years, just as long as Moses
and his people wandered in the will
derneSS, this statue stood in the work
shop of its gifted creator before the
world saw it, but it types today the
universal conception of the great law
giver, .hOrns and all.

st. Jerome in rendering Ibis face
shOne" in the passage in Exodus gave
it its primitive meaning and mistrans-
lation and has sent down to us through
the ages 'faciem esse cornatum," be-
ing Ibis face was horned" Thus it
seems that mistake stereotyped in
stone remains to torment the youth
who likes to know the why of things.
Just why artists and sculptors keep
on perpetuating this idea is one of the
inscrutable things of life. But more
than anybody else perhaps artists cling
to tradition, and since the great mas
tiers gave Moses horns it must be the
proper thing to do, and that is proba-
bly, why he wears horns in modern as
we'll as medieval art.
In the Congressional library, on the
south side of the big sunflOwer clock,
is Il gigantic bronze Moses by Niehaus,
and he has horns that look not unlike
those wonderful bumps that Ben But
ler's big head used to wear. In the
Boston library John Sergeant, the
great painter, for a centerpiece to a
procession of the prophets painted
Moses with full front view and horns
like Texas steer, and Unfolding him is

customers are women.
II shave at their houses six or seven
women every day. l don't know why
it is some women have boards. 1t is
very distressing TO them. and they
shave close and often. 1t is their only
remedy. The electric needle is no good
for them. you see, because their boards
are so thick that it would take a life
time for the operator to go over their
faces and pluck each hair out sepa-
rately, as must be done in the electric

Boards only grow on old women.
They are one of the feminine disfigure-
ments of age 1t is the same trouble.

a queer conventional kind of drapery
that looks like eagles wings.
In striking and pleasing contrast to
these, horned conceptions which the
aneients have imposed upon US and
which we still accept is copy OF a
splendid Moses by PlockhorSt repre-
senting the archangel Michael struC
Cling with Satan for the dead body Of
Moses. which is upborne by three little
angels. The Moses has instead of horns
upon his grandly conceived head rays
of light which seem TO mellow and
soften the stern face of the dead law
giver. Plockhorst has painted real
child angels. too, not fat little kids
with legs and arms like prizefighters
and bodies like beer tanks. This hello
tint. which is in the library of con-
Gress, is present from the royal gal
lery in Berlin.
Nicolas POussin painted some 20 pic
lures of Moses from Il pudgy little ba-
by in the bulruSh basket to Moses ION
gray Bethpeor's height" some of them
with horns and some of them without.
Five of these pictures are of the baby
in the water and just out of it, and the
heads are as varied as those of Column
bus on the exposition postage stamps.
Some of them look like advertisements
for hair reStorativeS and others as
though wigs would enhance the ap-
pearance of the baldheaded babies
whose painted faces look as many
years old as the baby Moses had lived
minutes when found by Thermutis.
Another by this author has horns that
extend out from the sides of the head
like the ears of mule and represents
Moses as striking the rock in the will
derness. This is a very funny picture.
anyway, for the camels have heads
like horses. and the horses look like al
most anything that stands on four legs
excepting horses.
This curious idea of a horned Moses
has not only been perpetuated by
paintings, coins and statues. but has al
so passed muster with many writers of
acknowledged fame. Grotius, for in
stance, identifies MOCeS with the horn
ed Nfnevis of Egypt and suggests that
the phenomenon was intended to re-
mind the Israelites of the golden calf.
Spanheim, however. stigmatiZes the eff
forts of art in this direction as 'prepOS-
ferrous industry" and distinctly attrib-
utes to Jerome veritable belief in the
horns of Moses. Crude as is the mis-
translation not one person in ten, as
the schOOlteachers and pupils found
out, have any idea why it is that art
lists and SculptOrs still depict Moses
with aShington Star.
