vent bloodshed and the destruction Of
property. Among the miners of Gold
field there is a certain percentage Of
the most desperate class of men from
all parts of the civilized world. There
are ex-convicts, dynamiters, holdups,
safe robbers and other criminals. The
decent element among the miners can
not curb these desperate characters,
and SO neither life nor property would
be safe at their mercy.
The socialists will say that the sol
diers have gone to Goldield to run the
miners out, but such is not the case.
The soldiers go merely to uphold the
laws, protect life and property ard
maintain peace.

AN AUTOMOBILE
A Narrow Escape from Serious if not
Fatal Injuries.

Friday evening Grace Lear, aged 9
years, had a narrow escape from fatal
injury. She was going home from school
when she was struck by the fender of
an automobile owned by w, S. Penick,
,n which he was riding.
The accident occurred on the public
hlshway near by and facing the Catho-
1ic cemetery.
In his explanation of the accident Mr..
Penick stated that he saw several girls
in the roadway ahead of him and that
when he blew his horn they turned
about, saw i'm and ran to the sidewalk.
He siackened speed and then the little
girl turned and attempted to run across
10 the other side Realizing the danger
he ran his auto into the barbed wire
fence. The girl was struck on the head
by the fender Fortunately the girl was
not seriously hurt. She was taken &c
her home, aftae having received the at
tention of physician nearby. and is do
ing well.
The Lear family have had a very try
ing experience, which it is unnecessary
to recite, but it may be said that Mrs.
Lear had narrow escape from deatl
on Texas avenue when the buggy ii
which she was riding was torn into
=spiinters from the collision with rum
away team drawing heavy vehicle,
1t is not reported against Mr., Pench
that he was exceeding the legal limits OF
speed, but this is something, apparently
which few men operating cars ever real

NEWS IN BRIEF
A Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by a Caucasian Representative,

The designs for the new gold coinage
commissioned by President Roosevelt,
is the work of the sculptor Augustus
Saint Gaudens. whose death in the early
autumn deprived America of the great
est sculptor it ever produced.
Saint Gaudens was born i'll Dublin i'll
I848 of Irish-French parentage, and was
brought to this country when he was
only six years old.
At the age of 10 he was apprentlced
to a cameo-maker in New York. During
the evenings he attended drawing classes
at the Cooper Union In 1867 he was
able to fulfil a long -cherished ambition
to visit Paris and study sculpture there.
But FIVE years later he was back in
America, and from that time on he
made his home here.
For twenty years his studio at Corn
ish, n H. has been a potent influence
in the art-ife of the country.
Among his pupils are Philip Martiny
Frederick MaenonnIes, and Andrew
O'Connor.
Saint Gaudens' genius was widely re-
cognized. and the degree of Ii. D. was
recently conferred upon him as the fore
most sculptor of America.
His versatility IS as amazing as his
power. He created the historic figure OF
"Tammany' on the facade of Tamnany
Hall, and his golden Diana CLEAN:
from the sky-heights OF Madison Square
tower, and, down below, under the
green trees, is his Admiral Farragut

MRS. FOSTER-COMEGYS AS AN
INTERPRETER OF IBSEN

A select and appreciative audience as
sembled at Mrs Hargrove's home on
Wednesday afternoon to hear Mrs. Eos
ter-Comegvs' presentment of lbsen 5
play. The Master Builder. After sa-
lient foreword of analysis and criticism.
Mrs. Comegys read the play, assuming
the diverse characters with rare spirit
and genius for Interpretation Her per
cepton had so mastered every subtle
meaning of the play that she seemed to
be the very incarnation of all Its eX-
quisite idealism. Her portrayal of Hill
da was especially alIuring; illustrating
the call of Youth to the soul-Youth
that ever calls to us, with Jesus; Who
soever liveth and heieveth in me shall
never die
This reading of Mrs. Comegys
Though reading" is too casual word
for it) was wholly and happily subjec-
tive. She has the true artistic sense that
knows the plays the thing that
makes no intrusion of the objective upon
her audience: but makes both manner
and attire subservient to an occasion
that would be used for personal display
by one with a less artistic individuality
