The beams may still be seen lying on
the shore OF the lake, but the bronzes
were quietly offered to America, and
are believed to have been bought. But
here the italian government interfered,
stopping the sale and placed the bronzes
in the Museo dele Terme in Rome.
The dealer is said to have kept in hid
ing the best bronze and a number OF
smaller objects until his death year or
Two ago. when they were secretly sold
and brought over to England. 1t is
those which are now to be seen in Lon
don.
The smaller objects are six figures,
apparently representing various attri-
butes of the sun god. The main figure
is the statue of handsome woman
wearing the ordinary dress of the time,
necklace and bracelets
The right arm is extended and the
left is held close to the side. The
hands and arms are moulded with
great beauty and delicacy. The sur
face of the bronze, except on the fore
head. is smooth and free from incrusta-
tons; it has taken several different COL
Ors, from blue to green, according as
it was exposed to water only or was
pressed into the sand. A curious point
is that the bronze was cast in nine
pieces, exactly fitted together.
AS to the person represented several
suggestions have been made by the eX-
perts Who have seen the statue, but it
seems more probable that it was a
lady of the imperial court rather than
the famous Diana Nemorensis-thn
goddess of the lake--in whose service,
down to imperial times were performed
those strange, primevaL sanguinary
rites which have supplied the author of
THE Golden Bough" with the foun-
dation of his theory of early religion
and society.

BRYANiTE'S HAIR CUT AT LAST

Tombstone, Ariz., July Mayor
Wentworth has had his hair cut.
Wentworth has been distinguished for
many years in the Southwest by his
flowing white locks, which deeply
covered his shoulders
In 1896 he vowed that the scissors

William J. Bryan became president

SIXTY YEARS A HARPIsT.
Rosalie spOhr a Figure in Berlin's
Musical and Social Life.

Musical and Social Life.
One Of the most interesting charac-
ters In the musical life Of Berlin is
Rosalie Spohr, the harpist, who Is a
niece of the great violinist Louis
Spohr, an exchange says Ste made
her first appearance in public on Dec
19, 1S49, at concert given by Jennie
Lind. She attracted attention first be-
cause Of her distinguished musical de-
scent, but after the world had once
heard her her art made her famous.
There are few women before the pub
lie to-day who play the harp as vir-
tuosi, although one sees them occasion
ally In the opera orchestras. So 1t Is
difficult nowadays to realize that Ro-
salia Spohr toured Europe in triumph.
She found in Franz Liszt a devoted
friend and enthusiastic admirer and
he was proud to play with her at Wei
mar as well as give her the benefit of
his artistic advice. Her career as a
public performer ended after about
six years. Then she became the wife
Of Count Saurma and the stage knew
her no more. She still lives In Berlin,
more than 80 years old, but enthusias-
tic in her devotion to the instrument
with which she won the triumphs of
her brief professional career. For three
hours every day she practices the harp
and her technique has for that reason
remained very complete for one of her
age. Her talent was in a measure her
editary, since her aunt was a we'll
known harpist in her day. 1t was
through her playing that Rosale
Spohr, who had begun her musical life
as pianist, turned her attention Il
the harp.
A widow for more than twenty years
1t has been her devotion to her art that
made life interesting to her during all
this time. Her education was sound
in the first place, for she studied for
two years under the harpist Grimm
who allowed her to play in public at
the end Of that period, although it was
one of his principles that a harpist
should study for ten years. Countess
Rosalie has been an intimate friend OF
the German royal family, and both
Friedrich and the empress were de-
lighted to hear her play. Nowadays
she is a unique figure in the musical
and social life of Berlin and an in
spiration to the younger students, who
see what Joy and consolation an art
may be to one who has acquired 1t
faithfully.

| Another dead-sure preliminary to a
touch is when she tells you that you
are looking so tired around the eyes.
The time used to be when only men
called an evening of wild and hysteri-
cal rummiferousness having a good
| time"
Why IS 1t that the woman who
harps necessarily upon the incon-
stancy and the Witness of men usually
has face like that of perturbed sun
perch?
1t makes a man feel pretty cheap
when, after admiring some woman he
meets in company, his wife tells
him that she wears whole wig, and
proves 1t.
Why is 1t that woman will strive
frantically for years to catch her hus-
band in lie and then weep till her
nose and eyes are all puffy and red
when she finally succeeds?
When a woman is extraordinarily
careful to lock away her own letters
aren't you filed with sort of in
voluntary suspicion that she'd read
other peoples letters IL she got a
chance?
Why is 1t that, when a man sits
still for ten minutes or SO, probably
thinking that he'd better get a hair.
cut tomorrow, his wife makes up her
mind that he is dreaming of some
other woman?
When the regular day arrives for
her to have what she calls "a good
cry" why shouldn't she phone the in
formation to her husband, so that he
can stay down with the fellers and
have a good laugh?

You'll never hear a huckster
calling out "Spoiled fish," and
by the same token Republican
never cries out that he is going
to be defeated. For twenty-five
years he has claimed that he
was going to carry elections in
Worcester County and for
twenty-five years he has gone
to defeat. Some of the candi-
dates of that party have run
for the same office before, and
on each occasion they have ex-
pressed themselves as cock
sure of election. They have
whooped it up for all there was
in it and even had some of their
followers to actually believe
they had a chance, but when
the votes were counted they
were defeated to the tune of
over nine hundred. "Hope de-
ferred maketh the heart sick, "
and maybe after a while a
Worcester Republican will
realize the true condition of af-
fairs.
