 LAST NIGHT
(From Tuesdays Daily)

A merciful death came to Tony Sborgia last night and the sufferings he endured from the terrible burns he received last Sunday were ended. The man was burned from head to foot and with the exception of a small space on his chest, all the skin was burned from the body.
 He had no chance to recover, and his agony was most terrible. He died while conscious, at ten o'clock last night. The body is now at the un- dertaking parlors.

not for several centuries that 1t became

In 1922 Adam Sodbury. lover Of art,
became abbot and he established a bril-

without interruption till the end Of it's ex-

Richard Beere also contributed wonder

out toward the hill which overlooks Sheri-

next few years, be adorned by the new
million-dollar embassy which France is to

the wealthy to this section. This will
be the largest tract occupied by any
foreign establishment in the United
States. and was purchased by the French
republic in March. 1901. 1t is part of the
thirty acres which comprises the estate
bought by President Jefferson in 1905 for
Joel Barlow poet and diplomat and long
a distinguished American sojourner in
France, which country now holds the
title to a portion of his beloved peaches

Never again will it be possible to

great sculptor's works. Casts are not
only difficult to move from place to place,
but are extremely perishable. easily
marred and disfgured, If not destroyed.
For this reason Mrs. Saint Gaudens, who
has herself loaned many which are to be
shown here, and superintendent personal
ly their placing. will not consent to have
these shown elsewhere or again. And to
.recast and collect would be stupendous
undertaking. 1t is however. earnestly
hoped that in some way portion of this
collection may be procured for the ma
