Models Pretty
Group il, Sand
Of Dump Ground

In the midst Of refuse. brickbats, and
weeds in the vacant lot at the corner
of Third avenue and Boone streets,
there grew Monday afternoon work
| or art. In the middle of the afternoon
a man looking like laborer wearing
| Khaki trousers. and an old hat, strolled
In among the heaps of brick bats.
Searching place where large pile OF
sand and brick lay he kneeled down.
The man began pitching the bricks
aside, digging them out with his hands.
When only sand remained he began
work. All afternoon he bent over the
pile. Curious neighbors strolled into
the dumping ground to learn what the
stranger was about.
Rapidly the man worked. From out
OF the pile of sand, which had been
tioles adhere, human figures were
growing Detail after detail of the
figures in the sand stood out in sharp
er outline and greater detail as he
worked on.
And as the stranger labored with
his hands and two small wooden tools
the modelling progressed. In five hours
it was done. And there, reclining in
human figures, one a woman. She was
prone upon her back. The right arm
! was extended at full length, the palm
upturned. The feet were crossed at
the ankle, the legs being stretched out
straight. The face of the figure was
upturned to the sky, the left breast was
exposed. Upon the right breast chung
her baby, face down, one arm clutching
its mothers bosom, while about Its
body the mothers right arm clasped it
to her tightly
| Flowing lines and ripples in the sand
suggested the outline and folds of wa
ter-soaked clothing. The face of the
mother was clear cut, and well-mod-
eled The modelling of both figures
| was good, especially the hands and feet.
Considering the material used, and the
time in which it was done, the model
ing was unusual.
Below the figures the modeler cut in
to the sand Cast UP by the Sea" The
title indicates the subject-a mother
and her child. perhaps in shipwreck,

mothers figure is about four and one

And the artist. He is John B. Nc
Cord, sculptor of Philadelphia. He is
out of work and bound for the harvest

upon the ground near the group and
upon a bit of paste board he had
printed Drop penny on the coat for

COUNTRY ON A GOLD BASIS

Consul-General Rich'ing OF Uruguay,
announced yesterday that American manu-
facturers have sold to merchants of his
country a quantity of glassware and
hardware. Uruguay formerly bought
such goods exclusively from Germany.
The sales were made on terms satisfactory
to both buyers and sellers

the Consul-General, but they are first

Uruguay, rs he explained is the only
South American country exclusively on a
gold basis and It's finances to-day are
in better condition than any other country
on the continent. Its paper money Is
based on the gold dollar. which has a
higher Intrinsic value than the gold dollar
OF the United States. The reserves OF the
Banco de Ia Republica are rs per cent
higher than required by law. II took

unnecessary load OF merchandise are find
ing themselves now In weak position.
A policy of liquidation must be adopted
by or forced upon such houses and
sound credit relationship imposes the duty
OF advising with and assisting debtors
whose purchases OF merchandise have
been on an overheard scale. One of
the best ways to relieve the money mar
ket of the strain Is to get right rela-
ton between stock on hand and sales"
The A. II. Lamborn Company has this
to say of the sugar situation: THE past
week has proved the most featureless OF
the year both in raw and refined sugar.
A deadlock has existed between buyers
and sellers on raws, due to the fact that
sellers have finally realized that the Tim
tied domestic demand for refined sugar
has been of such small proportion In II
self as not to warrant refiners In tncrtas-
ing their stock at present: and while
there has been steady inquiry from
many foreign sources for refined sugar
Great Britain has been the only continu-
Gus buyer. The amounts purchased by
Great Britain during the past week are
variously estimated at from 5000 to 49,
900 tons. most OF which business was
done on the basis OF $50 to 5.25 net cash
In bond, which is well within the expecta
ton that Great Britain will require from
$4,000 to 10000 tons per month OF refined
sugar for the balance OF this year and
which amount may be Increased II Ger
