fashion of the rich. When the time comes when
our millionaire will feel that in order to be In
the smart set and be in fashion he must have
his statues in his gardens well as his horses
In his stables then will he able to brag
about culture
This will depend largely on our women Let
our women insist that at least a plaster cast or

uIe however small, is Indispensable the
terror and interior of the house and in the gar
dcns if they are too poor to buy these master
pieces in marble and bronze. Let our women
make it their business to engraft upon our
culture this high element
Instead of worrying the men with great col
leges let them worry them little more to build
real gardens TO make even our most humble
surroundings include a piece of sculpture in
some form ana thus by degrees force us to
establish the fashion. Then the custom and
fiRSIIy the habit, of using sculpture may be
established When that time comes we shall
have the golden age of American sculpture
then a real American school of sculpture will be
pshered in"
The speaker contendnd that even among the
wealthy inhabitants of This country the use of
sculpture was not general enough, and that the
popular reason for its limited was its cost
THAT is a poor excuse" he said, but more
WelSnty one is the severity OF our climate Iul,
had the desire to possess statues in their gar
dens been sufficiently strong in the minds of the
rich they would soon have solved the problem
of how to preserve them
Let us suppose man has garden OF from
fifteen to twenty in extent and he sets
put say, twenty statues. The entire twenty
would not cost him more than 100000. Sup
posing he did care to have an italian gar
den, such surrounds the Villa Lant in Italy,
but preferred a natural garden, like Chats
worth. and he preferred to have his statues
scattered about they in that garden. For
1900 he could have a stOrehouse built, in which
he could place for the four winter months his
twenty statues at a cost not to exceed 81 apiece.
The entire expense of taking in and again set
ting out all his statues a year would cost
him more than 5000 or $500. His orange trees,
palm trees and other valuable shrubs he now

SCULPTURE IN THE HOME.
AN EFFORT TO POPULARIZE THE ART
THE ITALIAN GARDEN

The Use of Sculpture in the Home and Its
Surroundings the subject of the discussion
AT the last meeting of the National Sculpture
Society which took place Tuesday evening
The arguments and suggestions which ad-
vanced by f. w. Ruckstuhl, Charles r. La
and Russell Sturgis listened to with
attention by a large number Of people, to whom
the addresses were made doubly interesting by
a number of fine lantern slides.
Sculpture and artistic decorations need no
champions with people who have expensive
ZONES and who are willing to spend large sums
Of money for works of art. 1t not the oh
iect Of the men who addressed the meeting to
bring the matter to the attention of that class
If the community much to show that men
Of moderate means may indulge in the elevatng
luxury of statuary in the home. and to urge
upon househoiders to introduce decorations in
their dwellings which would serve the double
purpose of making the places beautiful and edu-
eating the children to a better appreciation of
works of art which considered by many
people as not within the reach of the middle
class.
In the course of his remarks Mr. Ruckstuhl
said
The only remedy I find for this is to in
duce the plain people 10 use sculpture in all its
forms in a simple and cheap way. BY degrees 1T

he did not care to move his statues he could
leave them in place the year around. All he
would have to do would be to use a simple sys-
TEN of sectional glass roofing which would
reach from wall to wall over his garden. This
would keep out the rain and frost and
sleet, and protect his statues and trees and
flowers, and turn his summer garden into a
winter garden, disable all the winter through,
These sections of glass roofing could be taken
down in the spring and stored away in a special
house in a corner of his place"

Washington, June 30.-(Special )-From 1.-the beginning of the Boxer difficulty, the officers of the administration have not been unappreciatve of the difficulties in- volved in that situation and of the danger that all China might be reused into a de- termined resistance of the increasing influ- ence of the foreigners. Yet it must be said that the situation became extremely critical sooner than any one in Washington or in the chancellories of Europe ex- pected.
 While seemingly indifferent to the dan ger and while Adjutant-General Corbin and other military officers denied that there was any idea of sending troops to China, inquiry was made of General MacAurthur over fortnight ago as to the number of troops that might be spared from the Phil ippines for service in China. There is a great fear that not only will full brigade of troops from the Philippines be required but that before the work of the interna- tional forces Is completed every man that can be spared from the Philippines or from the United States troops elsewhere will be needed in China. The difficulties that the international forces have already had to

Task Is Formidable

No one in Washington cares to make any prophecy as to the length of time required to pacify China, but judging by the char acter of the fighting so far reported, the task is an exceedingly formidable one. The gravity of the situation has united the foreign forces in a fashion which no negotiations could have done, and it is the hope of those interested in preserving the integrity of China that this unity of action will result in harmonious decision of the powers to establish some sort of pro- tectorate over the Chinese Empire after deposing the iniquitous Empress Dowager. There seems to be no question that the ac- tivity of Russia, Germany, France and Italy in securing spheres of influence in China has been to a considerable degree responsible for the Boxer movement, and the general uprising against foreigners, while the aggressive manner of German of ficials and the tactlessness of missionaries added to the difficulties.
 The increasing gravity of the news from China and the fact that American blood has been shed there, make the administra- tion the more determined to fulfill it's full duty in that country. The President has been particularly anxious to avoid compli- cations in China, and long as he possi- ply could he insisted that the United States should only unite with the other nations in the protection of American lives and property, but should not interfere in the administration of Chinese affairs
 Presiden: is Conservatives
 The President is naturally conservative and he has felt that the problems pre- sented to our government in the Philip pines and Cuba were sufficient to occupy it at present, while the approach of the Presidential election has made him more cautious. But however conservative he may be, the situation has so developed in China that our government will be forced to perform its full part in the reorganiza- tfon of the administration of that empire and in the work preceding that reorgani- zation it will employ as large a proportion of its forces as be spared, and the situation in the Philippines seems to have improved so materially within few weeks that perhaps 5000 men might be spared for service in China, particularly inasmuch as a regiment of infantry is about to be freed from duty in Cuba, and as a couple of cavalry regiments have already been ordered to the Philippines.
 While it is possible that the powers may be actuated by less selfish motives in China after the present peril is overcome, it will not to do overlook the fact that European nations are generally selfish and, Russia particularly may insist upon the partition ing of China. In that case the United Sttaes is going to be faced with the al- formative of taking a slice of China or of having our commercial opportunities decd- edly lessened in the sections acquired by other, nations, notwithstanding the so- caled open door agreement.

BOLD CONGRESSMAN GRIGGS
He Denources the New Woman to Sweet Girl Graduates and Made Them Angry
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 When Representative Griggs of Georgia faced galaxy of fresh young beauty, ar rayed in bewitching costumes of summer white, at the commencement exercises of the Shorter College for Young Ladies at Rome, Ga, on Tuesday night of last week, it was naturally expected that he would deliver the usual speech for such occa- Sions. It was therefore, a great surprise to the young lady graduates, the teachers and the audience when MT. Griggs, instead of compimenting the graduates in the hon. eyed words of which he knows the use so well, opened an attack on the New Woman"
 ''I an earnest believer in the natural rights of both man and woman,' he said in the course of his speech. q thoroughly believe that all women and all men were created free and equal. l have no patience with the idea that woman Is mans inferior in any respect. 1 believe that a woman Is entitled to every personal privilege that belongs to man, and that she should be re- stricted only by the limitations of her sex. At the same time am unalterably opposed to the growth in this country of a race of manly women and womenly men. The one follows the other as the night the day, so fixed by Him who rules the universe under laws unchanging and unchangea- bIe."
 "The new woman is waging a cruel, bit ter, relentless and unnatural warfare on the manhood of the world. She has chosen equality before superiority. She has pre- ferred rivalry over harmony. She loves strife rather than peace.
 '"The woman who goes bravely forth every day to the labor of necessity has my deepest sympathy, my sincerest respect, my unbounded admiration. While l depiore the conditions which drive her to the treadmill of daily labor, say from my heart, God bless the bread winning women of the world Open wide the doors of freedom to her. Prepare her to meet intelligently whatever fate may hold in store for her. God grant that she may find that highest heaven of earthly happiness the home built upon love-"
 To say that MT. Griggss address created a sensation is putting it mildly. Stupefac- tion was succeeded by indignation, and had the ladies given way to their feelings a riot on miniature scale might have fol- lowed.
