A pensioner Of the Prussian government,
and winner of the grand prize of Rome,
the name Of the sculptor was established
in Europe before he came TO America, in
1887. In this country he continued TO win
fame. and IL was the disappointment of his
ambition to produce a masterpiece which Is
said to have caused his mind TO give way.
He had partially completed a model i'm clay
of a heroic figure OF Belshazzar at the mo-
ment of seeing the handwriting on the
wall, when it began to crumble and Kraus
was compelled 10 abandon the work. His
mind became unbalanced soon afterward.
Among his noted pieces in America is the
Theodore Parker and the Crispus Attacks
monuments. He was the sculptor Of the
winged figures OF Victory that crowned the
towers OF Machinery Hall at the worlds
fair at Chicago, and which received great
admiration.

sert that the switching has been done to-
day by yardmasterS and other officials Of
the road, and that the service has been Sc

An official of the road, speaking of the
strike. said: THE strike of these men is
not a serious matter TO the railroad. They
insisted that we should recognize their
union by making a new schedule for the
switchmen working in the yards. We could
not do this without violating our agree

TARIFF N TRUSTS.
Compilation of Corporations Formed
Under the Wilson Bill.

Bee.
In his recent campaign speeches William
Jennings Bryan has reiterated his former
assertion that the tariff is the mother of
trusts" in spite OF the notorious fact that
some Of the most gigantic trusts were
formed long before the adoption Of the
Mckinley tariff. Mr.. Bryan still clings to
the delusion hat the tariff alone is respon-
sible for the existence of trusts. But
neither Mr.. Bryan nor any other American
statesman has ever known a mother who
was younger than her offspring.
In order to refresh his memory and that
of all other people who still labor under
the delusion that the trusts are the out
growth of the tariff we deem IL proper TO
call attention TO the following list of trusts,
representing nothing below $4,000 $50 each,
that were organized before Mr.. McKinley's
Inauguration and houriShed under the Will
son tariff:
