Sketch of Miss Mears.
Helen Farnsworth Mears was born in
Oshkosh, Wis. While only a little child she
began to model in putty and coal tar. Be
fore the age of nine years she modelled an
original head Of Apollo which was exhibited
in the county fair. The prize of $500 offered
by the Milwaukee Women's Club for the
best work of art by Wisconsin woman
that should be exhibited at the Chicago ex-
position was won by Miss Mears with
symbolic figure of Wisconsin which later
was put in marble and placed in the rotunda
of the capitol in Madison. UP 70 TINS po POM
the only professional instruction Miss
Mears had received was confined to about
six weeks at the Art Institute In Cnlcago,
but she now came to New York, Where she
studied for a year and half under Angus
tus St. Gaudens at the Art Students
League before going abroad.
Miss Mears has been pupil of many OF
the best sculptors, Messrs. st. Gaudens, Lo-
RADIO Taft, Puesch, Dampt, Charpentier,
Collin and Merson, but possesses a distinct
artistic individuality. After two years of
study with Augustus st. Gaudens she was
called to assist him in serious work In his
New York and Paris studios. In Paris her
student career was attended with the same
success that had characterized 1t in Ameri-
ca She carried off medals at the different
schools her instructors pronouncing her
strong enough in her work to compete with
the men and In 1897 she exhibited In the
salon. In 1898 she made delightful tour
through Italy, remaining long enough in
Rome and Florence to make thorough
study Of the treasures in the different gal
leries, and on the completion of her third
year in Europe. just as she was about re-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-02-16

turning home, her departure was delayed
by the request from her old master, st.
Gaudens, that she return to Paris, where he
had arrived, and assist him in his studio.
Several years ago she executed marble
bust of President G. S. Albee of the State
Normal School, Oshkosh. President Albee
was widely known in educational circles
throughout the country, and the bust being
individual and characteristic piece of
work, has been highly praised. Mr.. St.
Gaudens has said of Miss Mears' work that
it is as strong as a mans, and has, in ad-
dition, a subtle, intangible quality, exceed
ingly rare and spiritual Miss Mears has
now on hand commission for two eight
foot lions to be placed at the entrance of
Wis, and has just completed a large wall
fountain In relief.
The board of commissioners had no hest
fancy in inviting Miss Mears to undertake
the Frances E. Willard statue after she
submitted a sketch of her subject which
fully proved her power to execute a portrait
statue that would satisfactorily portray in
marble the rare spiritual as well as intel
lectual strength of Frances E. Willard. The
refined womanliness. the nobility and
strength of character. the sweetness and
simplicity and the intense yearning to help
humanity which charterized Frances E.
Willard as educator, philanthropist and
friend were marvelously brought out, it is
said, in Miss Mears preliminary model
which as a portrait excelled the expecta-
lions of the commissioners.

an agreement has been reached, how
ever, both branches of the government
service experience a feeling of relief.
The state department realizes a great
victory in having secured beyond any
question, the open door" in Manchuria
which was so dear to the heart of the
late Secretary John Hay.
The integrity of China seems also
assured, and with the restoration OF
the vast Manchurian provinces to the
call of the present emperor OF China
and the dowager empress it is felt here
that there is and for all time an as
surance against foreign +aggFessions
upon Chinese soil. With Korea under
a Japanese prOtectorate, developing its
great natural resources and all to be
opened to American exploitation on
even terms with other nations, a large
increase in the foreign market open to
our products is expected.
For its part the navy will be re-
lieved OF the tedious and expensive pa
troll which it has been maintaining in
the Philippines ever since the begin
ming of hostilities to guard against vio-
lations of neutrality by the belliger-
ents. Also it will be relieved of the
NECESSITY of guarding the Russian in
termed ships. These ships may now, it
is supposed, depart for their home
ports.

THE VICTORY STUNNED HIM.
NJ. Witte, dazed al the sudden and
happy termination of the conference,
was fairly overpowered by the tremen-
dous ovation he received. He could
only express his gratitude by shaking
the hands of everybody and in re-
sponse to the volley of questions fired
at him as to the terms he murmured:
I'VE pay not a kOpeck and we get half
of Sakhalin." Later in his room, when
he had partially recovered himself. he
declared that he could not have
dreamed of such a victory. That he
regards it a diplomatic triumph of the
first magnitude he makes no attempt
to conceal.
And that is the general verdict here

at the result. I'VE have had our Lao

THE TWO VICTORIES.

Berlin. Aug. 29.-Japan has won a
great moral victory, Russia a great
diplomatic one, and President ROose-
velt has become the nrst figure in in
ternatiOnal craftsmanship. That is
what Berlin thinks of the result of the
Portsmouth conference.
The foreign office, where the AS

nouncement and the summary condi-
tions agreed upon, thirty minutes be-
fore they were known elsewhere in
Germany, says unreservedly that with
out the presidents personal eXorta-

whole world will benefit by the states

THE REAL VICTOR.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 29.-In his library
at Sycamore Hill, President Roosevelt
shortly before 1 O'Clock this afternoon
received the announcement that the
Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries
at Portsmouth had reached an agree
ment and would proceed at once to
conclude the terms of a treaty of peace
The announcement had been expect
ed today. The president at no time
during the negotiations pending had
abandoned hope of a successful issue
of the conference but he had realiz-
ed more clearly than any other one
man in the world the enormous diff
culties which confronted the ENJOYS in
their deliberation. While he had not
for a moment relaxed his earnest eff
forts to induce thu. conferees to con-
tinue their discussions with a view to
securing a basis of agreement. he had
felt for forty eight hours that the task
he had set for himself in the interest
of humanity and civilization, was well
nigh hopeless.

as he expressed it afterward ne was
stunned by what happened.
THROWN AT RUSSIA.
Baron Komura gave way on all the
disputed points. With the prescience
that has enabled the Japanese to gauge
the mental processes of their adversar-
les on the field of battle and upon the
sea. they had realized in advance that
peace could be obtained in no other
way. They had warned their govern
ment.
President Roosevelt had also, it is
believed, advised Japan, that it We're
better to meet the Russian position
than to take the responsibility of con-
tinuing the war for the purpose of col
Iecting tribute. The mikadO at the ses-
sion of the cabinet and elder states
men yesterday had sanctioned the final
concession. When Baron Komura yield
ed the rest was mere child's play.
Articles ten and eleven of the in
termed warships and the limitations of
Russia's sea power in the-far east, were
withdrawn. Japan agreed that only
that portion of the Chinese Eastern
railway south of Chantfu, the position
occupied by Oyama, should be ceeded
to Japan. Besides in the interest of
Just and lasting" peace, it was de-
cided to practically neturalize Sakha-
lin each country binding itself not to
fortify its half of the island. and ia

Russia's commercial route to the Pa

They decided to add new clause in

therefore viii be a wonderfully friend
ly document. of a character almost to
raise the suspicion that the two cOun-

have concluded the basis of a future

dence as rumored. that any secret
clauses are to be appended to the pres
ent treaty.

In his message he said: History
