dorado TAFT, SCULPTOR.

dorado Taft, the sculptor who is to
appear here. is a native of Illinois. He
was graduated from the State Univer-
sity at Champaign at the age of nine
teen. His taste for sculpture revealed
Itself WHEN he was a boy OF thirteen.
A foreign Sculptor had been called
from Chicago to mend the statues Of
the newly acquired university collec-
ton, broken in transit, and young Taft
watched him with growing interest and
q desire to emulate him.
Throughout his school days and later
college life he constantly pursued mod
cling In clay and thus laid the founda-
ton for the fame which came to him
after his studies in Paris, where he
went in 1880. he studied three years
In the Ecole des Beaux Arts and took
honorable mention at the close Of the
first year and the first prize of the
atelier at the end of his third year.
After the close of his student life in
Paris he returned to this country and
became In 1886 instructor in the Art
Institute of Chicago, which position he
has held ever since.
He is a member of the municipal art
commission Of Chicago, a director Of
the Municipal Art League, a member
of the National Sculpture Society and
was for two years president of the
Western Society of Artists. He is one
Of the best known sculptors Of this
country, and no one is more capable
Of learnedly reviewing art subjects.

Taft frequently lectured in the Fine
Arts building and came to be recog-

PLEASING Musical fntertalnment---Next
Number Will Be Benz. Chaplin, Oct. q.

The first number of the Vale. City
lecture course, by the Bergen-Marx
company, four notable artists, proved
to be very pleasing attraction.
Mr.. Bergen, the baritone of this
company possesses one of the finest
voices before the public. He is ma.
tive born American, who has had a
decided meteoric career. He has
studied with some of the greatest
American vocal teachers and has done
special work under George Henschel
of London.
The rendition of "The Song of the
Birch" an Indian Song Cycle, in
twelve numbers, composed by himself,
gave excellent illustration of the sing
er's power as composer, and won
the appreciation of the entire audi
ence.
Leon Marx, the violinist, who I'M
til recently has been with the Thomas
Orchestra, is an artist of the first
rank, and a great deal Of the success
of the concert was due to his playing.
The rendition of "Saraban and
Gavotte in D" was worthy of special
mention.
Hans Dressed, the violincellist, pos
sesses fine musical culture, and gave
to the audience some exceedingly
pleasing selections.
Herman Schuchard, the pianist, is
an accompanist of high merit, and his
rendition of Concert Etude of F
major was especially good.
The next number on the course will
be October Fl, when Benjamin Chap
in, the dramatist, will present a dra-
matte monologue of the Lincoln
drama.
The following entertainments will
also be on the local platform:

J. s. Brown Names His Fine Melon f.,

j. S. Brown, of southeast of thi.
city, who for several years has grown
some Of the choicest watermels
marketed in this city, has christened
his melon The ''Elsie-Lee," and Il
will hereafter be sold under and
known by that name.
Mr.. Brown has devoted much time
and study during the past six years to
the culture and breeding of water
melons, and those who love this
luscious fruit claim that his efforts
have reached perfection. Through
careful selection and the application
of scientific principles he has pro-
duced a melon which combines the
good qualities of the best melons with
none of their drawbacks. Shape,
size, symmetry, toughness of rind,
have all been worked into Mr..
Browns product to the best advan-
tage and his melons are easily recoq-
nized at glance by those who have
once eaten them. The meat is red,
firm, juicy and sweet, so sweet
throughout the entire melon that in |
eating it is almost impossible to dis
tingish the heart by the sense of taste
from the balance of the meat.
