Special to The Herald
PITTSBURG, June S.-Pittsburg has
turned it's attention from ethics to ar'
Having diverted the reading world with
the stories of a succession of steel mil
lionaires and attempted to establish a
roll of honor, Pittsburg has now nit
on the novel idea of bending high art TO
the base uses of commercialism.
On account of the inventive genius
of an advertising solicitor Pittsburg is
today split into two virulent factions
Part of its population halls the solicitor
as the originator of medium Wnlcn
will popularize art and take 1t out OF
the art galleries, while the others ana
theSnatize his very name.
Il has all come over the erection re-
Gently of an immense signboard directly
opposite the Carnegie Institute, which
adVertiSes articles of commerce IN tne
terms of art. The crude conceptions OF
the ordinary sign painter have been
banished from the public eye ana IN
their place one sees Venus rising from
the wave and holding in her hand an
invitation to the public to bathe in one
of Blanks porcelain tubs. Travesties
of several of the most valuable art
treasures in the Carnegie collection bid
against their originals in the Carnegie
institute for popular favor
The advertising solicitor is modest
He disclaims great credit for his IDEA.
He was ensconced in one of the rear
seats when the institution was thrown
open to an admiring public. He has
an eye for art, he admits. He saw the
delight of the public in the master
pieces of line and color.
Great Idea Comes to Life
When the ceremonies were over he
out among the colonnades of
the portico. Right in front of him was
the inviting open space. He stood for
a moment lost in thought. Then he
clapped his hands and the great idea
had been born. He would erect a bill
board which should be the medium of
carrying art directly to the people in
the streets. He would serve the pub
lie and turn penny for himself at the
same time. He did not consult the
curators of the museum, however.
He had billboard erected 140 feet
long and twenty feet high, and then he
the most skillful ARTISTS"
available in Pittsburg to carry out his
idea. First they studied the MASTER
pieces in the museum galleries, and
then they reproduced them and brought
them up to date. All the archaic
touches mere omitted. Pittsburg is
not archaic.
Andrew Carnegie himself did not es-
cape. There is one panel inviting the
public to sample a particular brand of
beer which is displayed by High
ander in the colors of the Carnegie
tartan.

Going into society, the writer found
that the Berlin ladies were, as rule,
dressed like kitchen maids on rainy
winter Sunday, and that apart from
their appalling habits of dress they
were hopelessly unintelligent and un-
interesting.
Pursuing his Investigations among
other classes of Berlin population, the
writer found that shop keepers, wait
ers and workingmen were all far less
polite and less obliging to. strangers
than their like in London, New York
and Paris. These and many similar
observations lead the writer to the con-
clusion that Berlin, in spite of its great
population, does not possess the quail
ties of truly great city.

tremely simple attire about to perform
their morning ablutions The satyr,
who got his beard pulled in the orig
inal, is omitted from the advertising
sketch, and the public is told TO pur-
chase it's plumbing from a certain deal
er in bath room fittings. While in
clement skies have prevented the COM
pletion of this sketch, the 'artist" has
assured the public that a modern bath
tub will be intro 1uced to bring the art
up to date.
Residents of a fashionable boarding
house in the vicinity have deserted the
building, and so much feeling has been
aroused that request has been made
for the passage of an ordinance which
will govern the erection of billboards in
residential districts.
Objects to the Original
Public opinion objects to the original
of 1.-THE Bath" which took the first
prize of $500 and a gold medal in this
years competition in the Carnegie art
galleries. The central figure is nude
wor- an. A satyr is gazing at her.
1t is customary for the Carnegie gal
leries to purchase the prize winner each
year to add to the permanent collec-
tion. Local opinion has become so
strong that the purchasing committee
is dubious about adding the painting to
the permanent collection. Members of
the committee are noncommittal, except
Art Director John w. Beatty who
seemed annoyed that there was any
doubt as to the purchase. The matter
will be decided next week.

GIRL WHILE IN PRISON
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
, BRUSSELS, June S.-A convict who
is serving life term in the Ypres has
just married the jailer's daughter.
Their attachment began through the
girl taking the convict's meals to his
cell Eventually the prisoner asked the
jailer's consent to marry his daughter
and the father finally consented.
The prisoner, was driven in covered
wagon, escorted by gendarmes, to the
town hail., where the civil marriage
was performed, and the religious cere-
mony followed in the prison chapel,
whence the convict was taken to his
cell.
The incident is regarded locally as
justifying the convict's pardon and a
petition for this is being circulated.

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is 1t, then, you ask, that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tenaency is to overwork. to tear down faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain Is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 1 The heavy tax of overwork-the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations. is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work. and there Is a double danger to health. The poison 'ous matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back is only warning of trouble in the kidneys. An infiam- nation has set in. and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent.
 Too much ar too little urine, with a constant desire to void the secre- tions: any noticeable deviation from the normal color: the appearance or a sandy sediment, proves a disor-

 of His Wonderful Cure.
 The business man in his hurry to get about will not masticate his food properly. He will bolt it, so to speak.
 REMEMBER that the stomach will stand only so much bad treat ment. It will rebel itself by refusal to digest after a while. This means distress and pain in the stomach, gases, general discomfort and bad headaches. You can prevent this condition to become chronic by time- ly treatment with Dr Richards's Dys- pepsia Tablets, whose reputation is to cure dyspepsia and all other stom- ach and bowel disturbances.
 Mir w. H. Bergin of ASA East Main street, Waterbury, Conn. says: q have been cured of a bad case of indigestion and feel as if it was my duty to let the world know that I have been cured. l was subject to vomiting and sick headaches for years, and my general health was be- coming very much impaired.

A Street Cleaning Idea.

The street clcal!ing department of Berlin, in Germany. has adopted a method of kecning paper scraps from the streets that is an improvement worthy of emulation by any town. On every third lamp post has been fixed an ornamental iron waste paper basket Into which pedestrians are instructed to drop scraps. says the New York Globe. Unlike the big refuse cans that occupy street corners in American cities, the official waste paper baskets of Berlin gre never in the way of the hurrying pedestrian. The Berlin scayengers have been furnished with a new portable receptacle for rubbish. Attached to the wheeled bin Is a scoop into which the street cleaner first sweeps the refuse. The Berlin officials are constantly working out such details as these in improving the street clean ing system of the German capital.
