Censoring Statues.
From the Ouee

From the Queen.
The municipal service of Paris is at last
thinking of granting fewer permissions fol-
the erection of statues all over the city
its first step toward this reform will be to
demand a model OF the proposed monu-
ment to be approved by a commission OF
artists. for hitherto the sculptor's design
was not examined prior to. acceptation OF
the proposal and space was granted with
out further question il the person to be
honOred was considered worthy.
A municipal councillor whose opinion
carries some weight has suggested that
most Of the ugly and very unnecessary
modern statuary which fills all the gar
dens Of Paris and crowds the population
of the pavements in the streets and pub
lie squares be removed to the new gar
dens which are about to be laid out on
the former fortif1cations. and the grounds.

them, will not be disfigured as are the
Pare Monceau. the Luxembourg. the Place

The Evening Fire.

From the Columbus Journal
The bright. sweet days of porch life
are fast going. 1t has come time again
when the evening gathers to start up the
furnace or the crate. The change is
not what the heart longs for. and yet
there is joy in watching the dancing
flame drive the GOODNESS out of the air
and cover the walls of the room with a
soft, gray tint. And then. when the
lamp is lit and one takes up a favorite
book, and reads and reads, while he
stretches out his legs toward the CHEEKY
flame. he quite fOrgets the dear old porch
Is he mingles with another set of angels
quite as bright and fair. 1t is one of
the happy experiences Of lfe.. when the
first cool evening comes. and you pull
down your curtains, light the fire. and
rollick at will among your best and
sweetest thoughts. 1t is a great contrast
with days "rastle out in the cold
world.

HURLED THROUGH SPACE,
WORKMAN BADLY HURT
W. B. FIagg Suffers Fracture
of Skull and Wrist and
Other Injuries.

Hurled through the air a distance of
twenty-five feet and dashed against a
concrete pavement. W. B. F'lagg an en-
ploye of the District pumping station near
the filtration plant. is in a serious con-
dition at Freedmen's Hospital. His in
juries include fracture of the skull,
fracture Of the left wrist and injuries
about his face and chest.
Flagg, who is twenty-five years of age
and resides at 10S 4th street northwest,
is employed as boiler cleaner at the
pumping station. Thursday last he
climbed to the top Of a boiler. intending
| to clean out the tubes. Shortly after
O'Clock two of the tubes burst and Flag
| was hurled from his position on the
| boiler to the concrete floor.
Found Lying on Floor.
| Fellow employees heard the report OF
! the explosion and turned off the steam
which was escaping from the tubes AS
soon as the big boiler room had been
| cleared of the escaping steam Flagg was
! found lying on the floor.
! The injured man was taken to the
| Freedmen's Hospital in carriage.
When he reached that institution the
| surgeons discovered depression on the
| front part of Flaggs head, and also
| found that he had received fracture
of the wrist. They wanted to attend
to the injuries. they say, but he refused
to allow them to do so and left the hos
ptal.
He returned to the pumping station,
but had been there but a short time
when he suffered hemorrhage and was
again taken to the hospital, where he
became unconscious. The physicians i'm
mediately took him to the operating
ROOM where it was found the entire front
part of his skull was crushed In, al
though the skin was not broken.
His Eyesight Impaired.
This was given attention, and the frac-
ture to his left wrist and the injuries
about his face were also treated. The
injured mans eyes are closed and since
his arrival at the hospital he has been
unable to see.
The physicians at the hospital today
stated that Flagg's condition was slight
ly improved, but that he has only
slight chance for recovery. 1t was also
stated that if he RECEIVERS from the frac-
ture of his skull his sight may be i'm
paired.
