The Struggles of q Sculptor

Augustin Rodin. the French sculptor, had great struggle with poverty aud adverse criticism in his youth. Of an episode of this early period a writer says With that inf1exible will and singleness of purpose that never failed him throughout his career the young sculptor set l... self to express in clay, marble or bronze his conception of life and art. He used his leisure in work ing at nighttime. in deserted stable he had transformed into studio, at his wonderful mask of The Man With ac Broken Nose. After eighteen months of hard and patient labor he finished this mask and sent it to the salon. It took the hanging committee fourteen years to discover any merit in the work. for it was rejected in 1S64 and finally accepted only in 1s7s.'

ANGRY AT THAW'S WIFE.
His Mother Said to Have Severed Re
latfOns With Her.

Pittsburg, July 2O.-A serious run
ture has occurred between Mrs. VIII
liam Thaw and Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw wife of the murdered of Stan
ford White. This is the story brought
back to Pittsburg by relatives of the
family who have just returned from
New York. Mrs. Thaw, the elder.
blames the younger woman for all the
trouble which has come upon her
son.
The trouble started before Mrs.
Thaw sailed. for Europe when she
found Harry and his wife and an act
ress smoking cigarettes and drinking
wine in Harry's 'den" at Lyndhurst.
Since her return from Europe Mrs.
Thaw is reported to have severed rela-
tiOns with her daughter-in-law, and, it
is said, will refuse to assist her finan-
cially.
This is important to the young wife,
as Thaw has no fortune. In his faith
er's will he was cut off with an income
of $4,000 year directing that his share
of the estate be paid to the other heirs
unless he improved his ways and
showed better business judgment. The
trustees have decided that he 10 entit-
led to no share of the estate ana Il is
not likely they will reconsider their
action now. This will leave his wife at
best with only $4,000 year, il her hus-
band is sent to an insane asylum or
the penitentiary. His death would
probably stop that income

OCCUPATIONS AND LABOR.
Bureau Of Labor to Begin an Exhaus'
tive Study Of Their Connection.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, July 20.-An important
investigation into the question of labor
insurance, with view to ascertaining
the extent of mortality and disease in
cident to the various trades, with the
hope of eventually remedying the con-
ditions, will be undertaken by the Bur-
eau of Labor this summer.
The facts are to be gathered princi-
pally by a study of the insurance rec
ords of labor unions, showing the num-
Der of deaths, cases Of sickness and in
juries in accidents. 1t will be neces-
sary to make a painstaking search into
these records, but agents of the bureau
will be sent to all parts Of the coun-
try, and will have several months
within which to complete theinvestiga-
ton. This inquiry will be the princi-
pal work of the bureau of labor this
summer The insurance statistics
gathered will, it is thought. be of in
calculable value, and will show in
more complete form than has ever
been attempted before the health con-
ditions of labor in this country.
Should the statistics show that GER
tain trades invariably give rise to Pc
culiar diseases the result will undoub-
teddy be an effort to locate this partic-

ular cause of disease, and to remove
it. The facts published after the in
vestigation is concluded will throw
fresh light on the sanitary condition of
labor throughout the country, and
will probably result in legislation for
the material benefit of the worker.
The Bureau of Labor is now bring
ing to close the collection of statis-
tistics relating to strikes and lockouts
in this country for the last quarter of
century, which has been under way
for some time. Commissioner Neill is
having prepared the last chapters in
the record of>strikes in the period
from 1900 to 1905. There have been
two previous issues of the statistics on
strikes covering theperiod from 1880
to 1900. The Investigations of the
bureau have about finished with the
last five years, in which there were
some notable labor upheavals. The
statistics are expected to prove of
great value. The complete issue will
be published early next year.
