him out of the victories he had won
in art, he declared. He wrote a letter
to the park board denouncing the soci-
ETY. and the Judgment Of its committee.
They were unfavorably disposed to-
ward him because he was not MEM
ber Of the society, he said, and they
had come with their decision prepared
beforehand. There was an art trust,
he said, with an Office in Wall street,
which controlled the public art Of the
city, and none could break In save
those who were favored. He begged
for another judgment by untrammeled
experts, by sculptors who were not
controlled by the trust. The appeal
fell upon deaf ears. The park board
referred his passionate letter to the
society against which it was directed
and nothing more was heard OF 1t.
Then the government of Venezuela re-
fused ITO pay him for his work. The
statues of Gen. Sucre and Gen. Paez
had been sent to Caracas, but the
statue of Liberty was still in the foun-
dry. Turini was in despair. He had
no money and he knew not where to
turn for financial assistance. The
mortgage on his house fell due and the
property was sold. When the Dewey
arch project took form the sculptor
threw himself into the work with some
of his old-time ardor. Possibly he saw
in it a chance to regain his place in
the artistic world. He toiled cease
lessly on a colossal figure, and so en-
crossed was he in the work that he
forgot to eat. On the morning Of the
eighth day of his labor he seemed to
be the victim of great mental depres-
sion. 1t may be that he felt he could
not complete the work he had Under
taken. When he had dressed himself
he staggered into his wifes room and
fell dead across the bed.-New York

1 noticed a man holding his finger in
the mouth of one of the smaller ones
placed my finger in the mouth Of an
other and found that the creature
seemed to derive pleasure from the &C.
tion of sucking. Immediately sent
out for an ordinary infants nursing
bottle. The young elephant drained
the bottle as If "to the manner born. y
It was passed from one to another o1
the infant class. Finally they fought
in the most indescribably comical man
ner for possession of the bottle. Then
1 fitted a large glass jar, holding
gallon, with rubber tubes, so that all
could use it at the same time. In
variably they would empty this bottle
before loosening their hold on the nip

perhaps she had been killed at the

So effectively did they appeal to public
interest and sentiment that by dint oI

a fortune in a single season. They

Ten years ago the ground where the
magnificent hotel property of the Indi-
ana Mineral Springs Company is locat-
ted at Indiana Mineral Springs. In
diana was wholly unimproved and al
most wilderness. Now, owing to tho
discovery of the valuable medicinal
qualities of the springs and the heal

with the enterprise Of Major H. L.
Kramer, there is located there one Of
the finest sanitariums in the United
roundings have been made more at
tractive and the hotel is model Of
comfort and elegance.
For the greater accommodation OF
guests who come in constantly increas-
ing numbers from every section of the
United States, arrangements have now
been made for the enlargement of the
hotel buildings. The contract was let
yesterday by Major Kramer for addi-
tions that will cause an outlay Of over
$50, 900. The improvements will consist
of new bath house and an addition
to the hotel. The addition will be two
stories in height and will occupy q
ground space sOx160 feet. 1t provides
forty additional guest chambers. The
entire addition will be handsomely
and elegantly furnished. The bath
house, when completed, will be the
finest In the United States.
Besides the bath house and the
guest chambers there will be on the
first floor dining hall, music room.
a billiard hall, physicians offices and
q barber shop. In connection with the
bath house there will be ladies and
gentlemen's dressing rooms and cool
ing rooms. The dressing and cooling
rooms will be elaborately decorated
and the floors will be laid In white
tile. In both cooling rooms will be
built large ornamental fire places
which will be used for heating pur-
poses in addition to the regular steam
heating. The work will be entirely
completed in 80 days.
The Improvement and the entire ar
rangements Of the hotel and grounds
are made, keeping in view the artistic
effect Of the whole. and when the i'm
provements arranged for are complet-
ed the hotel and surroundings will be
much more attractive than before.
Major Kramer states that a still fur
ther addition to the hotel is contem-
plated, and that plans are now being
prepared for an additional structure
to contain $50 rooms for guests.
Already a quarter of million dol

HIS BROKEN HEART.
PEDESTAL WITHOUT A STATUE
IN CENTRAL PARK.
A. 1t Stands Now 1t Is Monument to
Giovanni Turini, Whose Failure to
Complete 1t Was the Cause of His
naokI,

On the brow of a hill in Central
park. opposite West Eighty-fourth
street, Stands a pedestal without a
triah statd8of Gen. Simon Bolivar,
liberator of@Colombia. It is not likely
that it will ever hold another. AS 1t
stands now it is a monument to a
sculptor who died of broken heart.
He was Giovanni Turini, who expired
suddenly one morning in August OF
last year in the midst of his labor on
the Dewey arch. The statue of Boil
var was calculated to startle man and
beast, and for that reason, presumably,
it was almost completely hidden by
foliage. The Venezuelan government
offered to replace it with one of the
same subject that would be more In
keeping with the surroundings. The
park commissioners accepted the offer
without hesitation. They saw in it a
chance to get rid Of an Objectionable
monument without giving offense to
its donors, and so great was their zeal
to do away with the statue that they
did not wait to tear it down until its
successor was completed. Turini was
selected by Venezuela to make the new
monument. At the same time that
government commissioned him to exc
cute gigantic statue of Liberty and
bronze memorials to Gen. Paez, all Of
which were to be erected in the city of
Caracas. The sculptor took up the
work with all the enthusiasm of his
race. He was an Italian, and he was
sure that both fame and fortune were
now within his grasp. He used up all
his ready money and when that was
gone he mortgaged his house. Finally
the clay model of the Bolivar statue
was completed, and Turini eagerly
sought the judgment of the commit
tee of the National Sculpture society,
which acted as an advisory body to
the park board in all matters pertain
ing to public art. To him there could
be but one decision. The visit of the
committee to his studio was simply
a matter of form, he thought, and the
artists who composed it would not
only pass favorable judgment on the
statue, but would congratulate him on
his splendid treatment of the design.
He had chosen as his model the eques-
trian monument of Bolivar which
Tadolini executed for Caracas. He
sought not originality, being content
to produce replica of what he con-
sidered a great work of art. But alas!
for all his fine hopes. The committee
studied his model with the character
istically cold precision of the Ameri.
can expert and straightway reported
against its acceptance by the park
authorities. The members said that
the model failed to reach the standard
of artistic excellence that it should
have in order to entitle it to place
in any of the public grounds or parks
of the city. This blow crushed the
sculptor. It came as a bolt from 8
clear sky. Anger succeeded profound

stead was so large that no single piece
of ivory could be obtained of the re-
quired dimensions.
The firm talked of reducing the
carving, but Mr.. Marchand would not
hear of it. They found tusk of the

months to find it, and the cost of the
ivory and the journey as far as Uyan-
yembe, Africa, where the mammoth
tusk was discovered, ran Mr.. Mar

stead were of special purple damask,
costing $24 yard, exclusive of the
initial cost of the loom cards. The

straight against white birch tree and
looked at her.

rowed us across to the island? I
thought it queer then that an oarsman
who was rowing around looking for
odd jobs should be wearing an old seal
ring and that he should have the key

watch chain. Then, too, saw you
wink at Mr.. Elliot when you took
that dollar from papa.

who had never heard of man by the
