 Nobody but a woman could have done it! exclaimed Anna Gordon, the secretary and years long friend of Frances Willard.
 And perhaps nobody but a woman could. At any rate, Miss Mears seems to have read intuitively the soul of Frances Willard and reproduced it's delicate, real expression as it peeped through the mask of flesh. The face of Frances Willard was del- icate as well as strong. The gifted sculptor who has achieved this suc- cess is Miss Helen Farnsworth Mears, born and reared in Oshkosh, Wis.
 So far as she mas yet climbed the road of achievement Miss Mears has been able to succeed in her aims with out so much of the struggle and heart saddeninE disappointment as most arr lists endure. and 1t is pleasant to write 1t.

sa HELEN F. WEARS
Modeler of the Willard Statue

The closing session | of the fifty eight congress ought to be memorable to American womanhood. Al suTh time as that congress deslgnates this winter there will be unveiled in stat uary hall of the beautiful capltoi building at Washington a full leng tn marble figure of Frances Elzaoeth Willard, reformer It IS the trs' " casion on which the statue Of wo- man has been deemed worthy to adorn the fine old hall wherein American Statesmen and others who nave ue- served well of their country LOOK oo"n in effigy upon the hustling hosts that tread upon one anothers heels in this gallery of greatness. Perhaps some ol them are looking down in silent con tempt. too-contempt of their own pa" looking images. Who knows?
 At any rate, the image or Franees Willard will not cause eAat good lady to be ashamed if perchance she can look upon it.

RAIL FREIGHT EXPERIMENTATION
IntrinsicaIIy Illegal and Should be
 Prevented.


 Prevented.
 New York Special.
 Justice William J. Gaynor of the New York Supreme Court said today regarding the freight rebate question:
 That rebates or determinations on the freight rates have been allowed all along. notwithstanding pretenses to the contrary, is a thing perfectly well known all over the country. What Is needed is to make men understand the wrongfulness of such discrimination, as well as its illegality. and that the railroads are our public highways upon which no one can legally get any favor over any one else. It is the greatest crime of our~day and generation. It has done more wrong than all the other crimes defined by statutes and pursued with zeal by prosecuting officers. IL has crushed and beggared thousands all over the country for the benefit of a few of their business rivals.
 Tt seems almost useless to try to enlighten those who do not or will not understand that our railways are our public highways.
 The maxim that a man may do as he likes with his own was never true. and has long since been exploded. In law, 1t never gained recognition, nor was 1t ever entitled to recognition In morals But 1t has had no applica- ton to our railroads
 They, are just as much public high ways aS are our QlrI rOhuS, anu III lilS very same way open to the use of all on the same terms Railroad corpora tions are allowed to make profit for their stockholders, but that Is only lu- cldental. They perform a public ser vice. and their first and paramount duty is to the government and the public. Their duty to their stock holders is secondary and subordinate.
 Can you conceive of a grosser crime than the public highways of country. which are open by law to the free and equal use of all. being nevertheless used by few individuals to destroy their competitors in business? Dis crlmination in railroad freight rates Is the mother of trusts.
 Some advocate the taking of the railroads by government. If the pos sibility of the experience we have had with freight rates had been foreseen, government would never have given these highways to corporations But the resumption of them now would be vast enterprise.
 All that we need, it seems to me. Is that government appoint the general freight agent of every railroad. That would end all discrimination in freight rates.
 The local freight agents, though ap- pointed and paid by the companies. would be accountable to the general and dismissed for the slightest dis erimination in favor of any one in freight rates. In addition 1t should be made highly penal offense.
 Observe that do not suggest that the government freight agent should fix the freight rates. That could continue to be done by the railroad companies The office of the government agent would be to see that there were no discrimination in the scheduled rates"

PLAYED CARDS FOR LAND.
Thousands of Dollars spent to Get Clear Title to About Four Acres,

AnOuAaAub OK Dollars Spent to Get Clear Title to About Four Acres.
 Brooklyn Eagle.
 The transfer yesterday of about four acres of land lying at the junction of Stone Avenue and McDeugall Street to the City Real Estate Company, repre- senting the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, by the heirs of Gideon Took CT has ended litigation which has been pending for many years regarding the title to the property. The settlement takes one back to the early years of this century; to the time when Radde Sackman speculated in wood lots'' and the whole section now known as the Twenty-fifth ward and a large part of the Twenty-fourth Ward were in- cluded in he wood lots;" when John Ryerson owned three farms, one of
 which is now the Wallabut, another of which was the Bedford and the third in New Bedford. In the last mentioned was the four acres involved in the lits- gation just closed.
 There would probably have been no law suit, and hence this article would not have been written, had 1t not been for game of cards played between Gideon Tooker and Theodore Kolyer,
 two old-time sports living in the vi- cinity of what Is now the loop at | East New York. In the early days Towards Inn stood at the junction of

worked on alone in her own way, fol- lowing her own ideas and ideals. The progress she made was remarkable considering there was not one fine group of statuary to look at in the town and no scuiptured marble of a higher order than tombstones. Yet she learned so rapidly that before she ever had taken a lesson In modelling she received commission for an art work. It was to prepare a figure of the genius of Wisconsin for that States building at the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1S9a
 Helen Mears thereupon journeyed to Chicago and took six weeks lessons in modelling before she began work on Miss Wisconsin. Following that sine began the actual modelling work on the Worlds Fair grounds not long be- fore the opening of the show itself. Winter was still on, water froze into Ice, the winds swept across those grounds as it were from the North pole Itself. and the plaster workers of the fair were on strike, when tho girl all new to such work. began to mold the big genius of Wisconsin. She herself. with one ordinary workman, had the grit to undertake the task of manipulating the plaster
 By and by, though, the statue that or q woman upon rock, with her arm around the neck of an eaRle- was in place in the State building, and Miss Wisconsin in all her glory stood forth revealeds A pretty incident of the unveiling was that, unknown to her, some ladies of the committee, in sight of the public suddenly pulled away the drapery and showed the dark eyed. handsome, girlish sculp- tor. herself poised upon a ladder, putting the finishing touches to her work. Cheers and applause greeted her and the statue.
 The Women's Club of Milwaukee gave Miss Mears a separate prize of $500 for the piece. With this in her pocket aspiring Helen Mears ,hastened to New York and entered an art school In time she became pupil oi St Gaudens and finally his assistant She went to Paris and studied there two years. with all her soul in her work. She also assisted St. Gaudens In his Paris studio. Before she re- turned to America her sister, the story writer, joined her, and the two girls travelled and studied in Italy. One of Miss MeaFs's most important pieces is the model for a great foun- tain, allegorical in scheme. She Is now engaged in some portrait busts.
