NEW SCULPTOR SCHOOL
WORK OF SAINT GAUDENS

To Augustus Saint Gaudens is due largely
the creation of new school of sculpture
ana the abandonment of the stited imita-
tons OF the Roman antiques and the study
OF the works of the italian renaissance. At
the very outset of his distinguished career
he became the chief of the younger school
Of American sculptors, for although born
In Dublin he was brought to this country
at such tender age that his environment
made him an American in sentiment and
aspiration. The greatest artists of the
world say that his fame will endure for
generations and that in the years to come
his artistic skill will be regarded with the
same admiration as the works Of the Flor
entlne era are regarded today.
Worlds Master Sculptor.
Saint Gaudens encountered the same criti-
cisms and the same hostility that fall to
the lot of all pioneers in art. but he rode
triumphant over all obstacles, and with
was hailed not only as the master sculptor
of America, but the master sculptor Of the
world.
Rebuff From the Prudes.
The most pronounced rebuff suffered by
Saint Gaudens was after he had designed
the medal for the worlds fair. The prudish
part Of New England took exception to the
nude figures which formed a part of the
general idea. and pressure was brought to
bear on the United States Senate to have
the designer modify his conception.
A committee of senators was appointed to
pass upon the decency of the design. and
they found against the artist, although the
die had been cast In the Philadelphia mint
and preparations were being made to strike
of the medals when complaint was made to
the Secretary of the Treasury. Saint Gau-
dens made the alterations in accordance
with the suggestions Of the censors.
Nothing that came from the hands of Saint
Gaudens was mediocre. He put his soul
into his work. He loved art for arts sake.
Misfortune could not stop him nor hostility
battle his determination. His work of two
years in modelling for statue of Charles
Stewart Parnell was destroyed by fire. but
he began all over again with the greatest
cheerfulness. Schools of art In every coun-
try honored him with membership. When
the statue of Gen. Lafayette, which he de-
signed, was unveiled in Paris, he was &C
claimed by the French artists as one of
the greatest living Americans.

FAIRBANKS NO ,ERO.
Now Claimed That He Never Rescued
Anybody.

Special Dispatch to The Star
FOND Do LAC, Wis., August 3.-That the

Lac and Ray Brennard of Oshkosh. jumped
into the lake and brought the girl to shore
All three were born and brought up on
the banks of Lake Winnibago. and all were
expert swimmers. yet the cold waters of
the Yellowstone almost cost their lives as
each of the three suffered a slight cramp
when near the shore.
The girl was unconscious when she
reached shore. and efforts were made to
resuscitate her. The three Wisconsin SWIM
their efforts were successful after nearly
twenty minutes had passed. 1t was not
until after she had recovered consciousness
that Vice President Fairbanks arrived, hav-
ing heard of the accident when out with
another party.

fdence that he will win.
In the contest for governor. Brewer is
leading on the face of the official returns
thus far received. Noel IS second and
Scott third. The vote of the leading con-
testants is close, and 1t will require the
official returns to decide which two as
pirants will make the race in the second
primary to be held August 90.

In the things Of today, yesterday and to-

and things yet absolutely just.

It was this attitude Of restraint upon
