art, and particularly whether she had ever
made a marble statue. About month
later she was invited by General Sherman
to accompany him to the gallery of the
senate, and the ovation given her by the
members was the first intimation that her
design had been accepted. In the house
there had been no opposition, while in
the senate the vote stood % to 8.
The contract called for life statue in
Carrara marble. for which the artist re-

Her scorn for the little Hoosier girl is
surpassed by her rage when she finds in
her rival for the affections of Bob and
thenceforward her effort is to ruin and
disgrace Ora. There are several sensa-

fects in the play, notably the bicycle race
for life in the first act, in which Ora s
timely shot saves Bob Blessing from the
uplifted knife of Bill Loucks, one of the
uncouth natives, who loves Ora The
scene is made further effective by vivid
lightning, the rolling of thunder and a
realistic patter of falling rain. The
scene in the ballroom of the West Baden
