Plaster portraits are the fashionable

Plaster portraits are the fashionable
form of counterfeit presentment' in
London. They are done in the form of
miniature busts or bas-reliefs at the
low price of half a guinea ($2.50) apiece.
They are modelled by clever artists
from the sitter in forty-five minutes. In
these tiny pieces of sculpture-they are
only about six inches high-the details
of costume are modelled with charming
delicacy. Many society people have
started collections of these statuetts of
their friends.

LEGISLATIVE CONDITION.

In commenting upon the finding OF
the committee appointed to investigate
Congressman Lilley's charges against
submarine Legislative practices, the
Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican says: "The
worst phase of the whole affair is that
1t gives practical assurance that there
will be no other congressional inyest-
cation for a long time to come, and
that congressional corruption, il there
is corruption, may go on without fear"
This may be somewhat pessimistc

ditions which envelop the Lilley in
quiry, but it does point accurately to
the difficulties which always have and
probably always will attend attempts
to get at the truth Of legislative cor
