During the Franco-Prussian war
Bartholdi served with distinction and
fought under Garibaldi. In the days
of the Commune he visited the United
States. being unable to pursue his
studio work in Paris. The magnificent
position presented by New York har-
Dor for a statue of colossal dimensions
struck him, and when body Of dis
tinguished Frenchmen formed a soci-
ETY. to carry out the project his design
was approved. In five years France SUD-
scribed the $25O,OOO necessary for that
purpose. Bartholdi spent on the statue
nearly ten years. Levi P. Morton,
then United States minister to France,
received the gift July 4. 1884; it was

work Bartholdi made deep study of
colossal figures in Egypt, Greece and
eastern lands. The statue is the largest
bronze figure in the world. being 151
feet from the pedestal to the extremity
of the torch. the figure being III feet
high and the torch being 3O6 feet
above the tide level.
The masterpiece of his creation,
however. is The Lion of Belfort. To
commemorate the defense of that place
during the Franco Prussian war lie
sculptured the immense lion, a figure
80 feet long and 80 feet high, partly
cut in the rock and partly built up
with stone, which stands against tie
face Of the citadel's plateau. AS tes-
timonial of gratitude to Americans for
their sympathy and service in that
war the statue Of Lafayette, In Union
Square, was given to New York. 1t
came from Bartholdi's chisel, as also
subsequently did one Of the public
fountains of Washington and the four
bas-reliefs around the steeple of the
Brattle Square Church, Boston. IN

1t requires no stretch of the magma

thing is going to happen to that i'm

ball umpire, and If we do not misin-
terpret the steady drift toward vio-

will be trifle more serious than a

Baseball is great game. 1t has q
splendid recreative value. 1t sweeps
the citizen away from the dull cares,
the sweat and CRIME Of life's routine
and often tints the sunset of existence
with somewhat Of the glow Of yester-
day, for though we have slipped into
the slim groove Of age and may be
hurrying to hole In the ground, we
may yet be boys again. and thrill with
the remembered passions and excite
ments Of the schoolground. But base
ball is too often robbed of it's poetic
color and the fine exhilarating value Of
the game by just sucn disturbances an
noted at Jackson and Monroe. Um-
pires, like other men, are made out
of clay. Being clay, they must err.
Bias may now and then dominate
them and shape their judgments. Con-
sciously wrong sometimes, uncon-
sciOusly wrong at others, in the de-

what not, until there is good proof to
the contrary.
In any aspect Of the case the dis
orders which now so often mark the
progress of ball games cannot do 9TH
er than injure the sport. Aside from
the strictly baseball interest of the
question, there Is an issue of greater
significance and of deeper public con-
Germ. Baseball is a passion with the
young American. No other form Of
amusement, no other kind Of contest
will so stir the blood of the American
boy. No other game has ever been
able to take its place in his affections.
He generally sees the game, stalking
all his youthful enthusiasm on one
side or the other, though frequently
put to the stress Of pouring his soul
through a knOthole in the fence. But
no matter how, he sees the game and
Its excitements and passions find lodg-
ment in his nature. IL for no other
reason. the game should be kept clean
and on the square for the good 1t may
do to the American boy. Assaults on
umpires. the profanity, the grumbling
and other violences in word and deed
can do the young American no good
and should not be countenanced. Base
hall managers should put stop to all
this disorder and vulgar byplay on the
diamond.-San Francisco Call.

News Creates Sensation.

The news of the death of ex- Mayor
Humes spread like wildfire in Seattle.
The first dispatch was received shortly
after 9 clock last night. The for
mer law partners of the ex-mayor re-
ceived similar dispatches shortly after
the press dispatches. The news was
passed along the streets, and before
midnight his death was as general a
topic as the election.
Judge Humes leaves legion of per-
sonal, political, professional and bust
ness friends in this ciJy. Though an
ardent and lifelong Republican, some
of his warmest political supporters in
his several campaigns for the mayor
atty were Democrats, who had also
supported him when seeking judicial
hOnOrs
Mr.. Humes was judge of the super
Tor court for five years and mayor of
Seattle six years. Although there were
many charges of graft during his ad-
ministration of city affairs, none of
these charges ever touched the mayor,
and it was believed by both friends
and opponents that he was entirely
honest and upright in all his dealings.
