average American is peculiarly untitled.
When the subject is pictured in his proper
clothes the effect is more dfgnified and
harmonious, but still scarcely graceful.
The coat and trousers of the year 1900 ap-
pear out of date in 1905. and an old
fashioned statue is far from agreeable to
the eye of the modern American. The
average man in this country has a pas
sion for tearing down everything which
is IN the least passe, and substituting
the latest style; and this passion is be-
ginning to be shared by the Anglo Saxon
across the water
The great defect of the conventional
modern costume for men, from a sculp-
tors point of view, probably is that it is
conventional, and so conceaIs the lines of
the figure or disguises them in such a
way that they appear grotesque. When
the living man wears the clothes. he gen
orally shapes them to himself so that his
individuality is shown quite as clearly as
it would be did he wear q toga or me-
dieval cloak and doublet; but when he
is sitting still, posing for a statue, roth
ing is visible but wrinkles, and the wrink-
les are not pretty. What is to be done
about it? Are our statues TO continue
figures of srotesque ugliness, or will some
new costume be devised which shall make
the original man, we'll as the statue,
thing of beauty and grace?
1t is impossible to give any answer to
this question. It is one of those problems
which must be left to solve themselves.
But the sculptor will be wise if he models
his subject garbed in the garb of his day
and generaton-the clothes in which he
lived and moved and did his work They
may not appear so queer TO our descend
ants as they do to us. We are beginning
to see the picturesqueness OF some of the
costumes and furniture rejected by our
fathers as old-fashioned and perhaps the
hidden beauties of the Prince Albert coat
will be revealed to the eyes of our grand
children, and they viii prefer it to the
conventional attire of 1850.

Progress of the Strike.

The disturbances which it was feared
might occur at Shenandoah and other
points in the strike region today had not
materialized at latest accounts. Although
troops and hundreds Of Pinkertons were
on hand to protect any miners in the
SchuylkilI district who might wish to work
the sound of the colliery whistles brought
no response. Both in the SchuylkiIl region
and elsewhere the tie-up is more complete
than ever
1t grows hourly more evident that it
is the definite plan of the Coal Trust TO
provide disorders. The mine guards
brought into the region from notody
knows where are largely composed of
roughs who are not only irritatingly
provocative, but appear to be acting un-
der orders. Three deputies in the
posse of the sheriff of Luzerne county
have been arrested fer an aggravated
case of highway robbery. The general
conduct Of the imported detectives is
truculent and we'll calculated to exss-
perate the excitable foreign element
among the strikers TO the fighting point
As the Coal Trust has to pay these
it is anxious to creste conditions CT yio-
lence which would enable it TO secure
military garrisons for the mines. The
troops can be made TO do police duty
for the trust at the cost OF the Penn
sylyania taxpayers, and it is a measure
OF economy to get them in and the civil
ian police out as soon as possible.
The railway switchmen on the nine lines
operating il the anthracite region have
decided that they will not handle non-un-
ion coal. The trainmen are expected TO
take similar action as soon as the head of
their organization arrives from the West.

the Mine Workers, is confident that the
movement will not succeed. The situation
appears to be satisfactory from the point OF
view of the strikers: but 1t cannot be de-
MED that, for reasons already stated. there
is grave danger of a clash between citizens
and the Pinkertons in more places than |
