Wilson Congratulated on Inaugural
Speech by Ambassador Dumba

Ic. Constin Dumba, new Ambassa-
dor from Austria-H Hungary to the Unit
ed States, who presented his creden-
tials to President Wilson yesterday,
after delivering the customary felici-
tations from his ruler said to the
President:
ALLOW me to add that. as far as /
am personally concerned. congratu-
late myself on being sent to Washing
ton on the eve of the discussion of
mementous issues raised by your
memorable address of Inauguration
The necessity Of more humanity, of u
higher valuation of the individual life
OF the poor and humble, of more hui
man solidarity in the desperate strug-
gle for life, are demands which, EN-
phasized by your eloquent address,
will henceforth remain within the
scope OF practical American politics.
The triumph of these principles cau
only improve the lot of many thous-
ands OF my compatriots who, mostly
representing the element of unskilled
laborers, immigrate to this country In

An experiment which is to be made

This Texas organization is to ship

BEST STATUE OF WASHINGTON
Marble in Richmond StatehOuse Most
Trustworthy Portrait of Him.

Since the days of the cathedral
builders France has never been with
out great masters of the chisel Tradi-
tons and an ever-accumulating skill
have been passed on as from father to
son throughout generations immemor-
ial. With all that apostolic success
sion" of genius we of another race are
strangely unfamiliar. One name, how
ever, we associate with that of our
first president, and for this reason,
and not because Jean Antoine Houdon
was the leading sculptor of his time
is he sometimes mentioned in the
United States.
Last June at the Doucet sale in
Paris Houdon's little bust of his daugh
ter Sabine was sold for the sum of
100000. Houdon is looking up" AMI
as a success may yet become worthy
of our attention.
AS the first sculptor of the day"
Houdon was invited in 1884 by Thorn
as Jefferson, representing the State Of
Virginia, to make a statue of Gen.
Washington. On July 2S, 1885, the
sculptor, with three assistants, sailed
in the company of Benjamin Franklil
from Southampton, bound for Phila-
delphia. The journey required nearly
two months, and Houdon did not ar
rive at Mount Vernon until October 2.
Two weeks were occupied in modelling
the bust, making a life mask. and talk
ing many measurements, with all CT
which the artist departed rejoicing,
and thanks to the rapid ocean service
of the time was home again on Cari5t-
mas day! The result of this trip was
the notable marble which stands n
the statehOuse at Richmond, our most
trustworthy portrait of the first Pres
ident Even Gilbert Stuart. We are
told, acknowledged its superiority ~

MILLIONS IN LIFE INSURANCE
Policies in United States and Canada

(Leslie's Weekly.)

The vast number of persons inter

the statement that the life insurance
now in force in the United States and
Canada aggregate about $4,000 100000,
The policies which add up TO this i'm
mense total vary in face value from
small to very large sums, but the
great majority of them have been is
sued to persons to risk moderate
means who cannot afford to risk pay
ment of premium money to weak and
unreasonable companies. Fortunately
the leading life insurance organiza-
tons are very prosperous and have
ample reserves, so that their respon-
sibility is unquestfoned, while they
meet all obligations promptly and
without raising mere technical points
The policyholders, therefore, justly
feel that the insurance from these
strong companies, which pay out
yearly to the insured or their heirs au
aggregate of more than $500,0000, 900.
This impressive fact furnishes a
strong argument in favor of life in
