llIOMEN SCULPTORn
Hs The Famous Ones of \
~ America III

w YHEN Caroline Shawk Brooks
began modelling in butter
" some thirty-tve years ago
on a Missouri farm there
was scarcely a woman sculptor in
America. Sleeping Iolanthe," e1hib-
tied at the Centennial exposition in
Philadelphia, was much admired. 4
little later Winnie Ream Hoxie made
models of warriors and generals on
horseback, heroic size.
4 little later yet girls began to learn
carpenter work and carve furniture,
also portrait heads in wood, at first in
Cincinnati, then in other cities, and
finally even to use hammer and chisel
on stone. Mankind then discovered
woman to be NO longer the fragile
porcelain creature that would break
if You looked at her. The discovery
did woman herself a world of good.
There is now no transcendently great
sculptor in the world; therefore we
would not expect to find any in the
United States, particularly among
American women. There are, however,
several American women of respect
able rank in this department of art
The progress made by American
women in sculpture may be judged
from the gradually increasing speci-
mems of their work in our national ex-
positions. Here they have appeared
not so much in the capacity of indie
pendent exhibitors as in the humber
yet useful role of workers on the dec
orative part of the exposition build
ings. At the Columbian fair they were
mainly the assistants of men artists
who received orders for groups or ar
chitectural characterization. At the Buff
falo Pan-American, however, Karl
Bitter, the friend Of women as well as
of men modelers and chiselers, had
charge of the decorative architectural
sculpture and gave several independ-
ent commissions to ladies. One of
these fortunates was Miss Enid Yam
dell, who did a statue of Daniel Boone
that was pronounced excellent work

AND QUEEN
ASSASSINATED
Revolution In Kingdom of
SerYia.
ARMY REVOLTED.
Many Others Were Also
Slain.
Peter KarageOrgeyitch was Proclaimed
to Succeed the Dead
Sovereign.

Belgrade, June, liking Alexander
OF Servia, his queen, Draga Maschip,
three of his ministers and the queens
brother and sisters we're assassinated
early this morning by Servian troops,
who, after accomplishing the murders,
proclaimed the pretender TO the throne,
Peter Karageorgevitch, king. A COM
mittee of army officers called upon the
king at the palace and asked him to
abdicate in favor of Karageorgevitch.
He refused and shot the officer who
made the demand. The latest reports
indicate that twenty-five were massa-
cred in the palace aud the ministers
houses. One general, one aide-de-camp
and twelve members of the guard were
slain.
PLANNED WEEKS AGO.
The revolution was planned weeks
ago. Colonel Naumovics, the kings
adjutant, was named to carry out the
plot. He visited the king and queen
at night, after Blowing open the door
Of their chamber, and gave the king a
paper to Sign, abdicating the throne.
The paper referred to the queen as a
"notorious woman" The kings an
swer was to shoot Naumovics. The
clothes to the roof, but were pursued
by the usurpers. There is every indi-
cation hat the change will be accepted
by the people. No further bloodshed
is expected. The military headed the
revolution. After killing the king and
queen, the troops slew the queens sis
tiers and her brother. Then they at
tackled the houses of the ministers,
killing three and a number of the
royal guard. The new government an
nounced the restoration of the con-
stitution abrogated by King Alexan-
der.
ARMY H, sTILE.
Dispatches from Belgrade say that
a.nue the late king suspended the Ser
Wan Constitution the army had been
= animated by hostile feelings toward
both the king end queen. Committees
were organized in the country and
worked in cooperation with the army.
The leaders OF the revolution are said
to have been the new ministers OF JUS
tice and finance, and the sixth regi-
ment of infantry, garrisoped at Bel
grade, was designated to carry put the
plot. 1t was originally intended hat
the plot should be executed later, but
the fears that the Servian parliament
would settle the question Of succession
to the throne, fastened the matter.
The streets were thronged with people
whose actions seem to approve the
deed of the revolutionists. The bodies
Of the king and queen remain in the
palace, which is surrounded by a strong
Gordon OF troops. Bands of young men
are parading the streets, waving flags
and shouting, "Long live Karageorge-
WITCH" Flags are flying all over the
city and there Is absolutely no display
whatever of crepe or other signs Of
morning.
