His first commission was The Minute Man" of
Concord, which he produced when only %
years of sge, and of which he never had need
to be ashamed. Like certain Others Mr..
French's talents seem to have come almost full
fedged into being. and although in later years
his work showed increased competence it was
more than good from the first. No one can see
THE Minute Man" standing, it does, on
guard at the end of the famous bridge
national shrine. without marveling at the
achievement of this brilliant young sculptor.
Mr.. French was an indefatigable worker. His
studios at Chesterwood and in New York were
busy workshops. never empty He delighted in
production, but he labored faithfully to achieve
a supreme result, an ideal of perfection. And
withal Daniel Chester French was an exceed
ingly modest and gentle man-quiet, retiring,
never aggressive.
In the way Of public service, he accepted
membership on the board of directors of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and also on its
Purchasing Committee. Whatever touched that
institution was of concern to him and IN the
upbuilding of the museums collection of sculp-
ture he was actively concerned.
From time to time young SculptorS found
employment in Mr.. French's studio and went
from it with not only increased knowledge,
facility and understanding, but with q deepened
respect for art strengthened ideals Thus not
only through his works but through his con-
facts and influence Daniel Chester French has
contributed to the development and upbuilding
of sculpture in America. He will be greatly
missed.

was a Washingtonian, and his daughter, Mrs.

BODIES HURLED
FAR IN NAVAL
EXPLOSION
Dead at Nictheroy Placed at
As, With rs Persons Hurt;
Boiler Explosion Is Blamed

RIO DE JANEIRO, May /
U.N.SO boiler explosion, de.
tonating more than half a ton
Of high explosives, was believed
today to have caused the terrific
blast that wrecked the Brazilian
Naval Laboratory at Nichteroy
yesterday, killing As persons and
injuring 10.
The Navy Department printed
an official, casualty list placing
the dead at 10 less than the
unofficial figure. The report added
that IL structures adjoining the
laboratory were destroyed by the
explosion.
Fire Hampers Rescue
Government relief squads
searched the ruins all night for
further casualties, with some
sources predicting that all of the
400 employees in the plant at the
time of the explosion we're either
killed or injured.
Although the fire hampered
rescue workers, they succeeded
in extracting many dead and
dying from the wreckage, filling
the Nictheroy Hospital with vic
tins.
So tremendous was the force
OF the blast that debris from the
plant and parts of human bodies
were blown more than quarter
Of a mile from the plant. The
laboratory was situated close to
the beach, opposite the city of
Rio de Janeiro, and many bathers
were hurled from the beach into
the surf by the concussean.
Whole Town Rocked
Two men padding a canoe a
short distance off shore were
flung 20 feet into the air. The
whole town of Nictheroy was
rocked as if by an earthquake, its
windows shattering on all sides.
The blast caused a panic.
A commission appointed to in
vestigate the tragedy was of the
opinion that the explosion of a
steam boiler i'm the engine room
Of the plant, ajOining the labOra-
tory, detOnated explosives stored
In the torpedo room of the
! laboratory.
Fire followed the blast, entire
" wrecking the three-story struc-
ture. A score of ambulances
were rushed to the scene as fire
men fought to keep the blaze
from spreading to residential sec
tionS.
Property damage was estimated
at well over half a million dollars.
Troops were posted around the
plant to prevent disorder.

One particular thing that always charms visitor from another coun- try when admirinE an American home it that typically American in novation, the breakfast or dining nook. Whatever simple beginnings gave rise to this idea, it has been of great importance to our home life. both because of the case with which q breakfast is served in these charming hooks and snuggeries and because it has, by its very informal ity. allowed the use of chinawarc with delightful cOlors and designs. and napery in keeping with the col or scheme and of q kind that refuses to make mother shudder every time someone Is carelessly responsible, as who Is not at times, for coffee stain.
 The one pictured above has de- veloped q color picture of a certain rather sophisticated simplicity, but by the use of cups plates, teapot and vase in color matching with the light blue on white design of the lacquer ed fabric table spread, is has become very lovely and cheerful place to dine.
 Use of lacqured fabric table cloths in dining hooks has become very wide and Is no doubt responsible for the fact that they are to be had in some twenty-five color combinations with blue, green and yellow predom- mating in the designs. With their mat texture resembling linen or dam ask, and their hemsttchcd borders they are hardly to be distinguished from the old-fashioned damask table cloth, which if it wasn't washed after every meal, in many cases should have been.
 Decorators are making use of this dining nook combination in many ways. Light-toned china on q col ored cloth, or darker and more col orful china on white cloth with col ored border in harmonniZing tones gives two means of working out agreeable schemes in these hooks.

OF BOWLES DEATH

A coroner's jury last week held that
the automobile accident October 8
resulting in the death of Marshall
Bowles, 17-year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. A. Bowles, North Clay street,
was unavoidable. James Honeycutt,
driver of the car, was exonerated of
any blame in connection with the
tragedy.
According to the witnesses examin-
ed at the inquest, the car was being
driven at a speed of only IS or 20
miles an hour. In attempting to pass
a truck, the car struck a sand ridge,
crashed into the bank and somersault-
ed.
Bowles was riding in an automobile
driven by James Honeycutt, of East
Liberty street, who suffered a broken
shoulder; while Raymond Waggoner
and Roy Fogner were other occupants.
The latter two received minor scratch
es, while Bowles sustained serious in
ternal injuries which brought death
two days after the accident.
The jury summoned by Coroner W.
L. Tatum, was composed of G. Muir
ray Smith, Henry Leonard, Gordon
Urban, c. F. Deal, ]. c. Knight and

OMMERCE
OOLUMN
By R. E. L. MEL

Here is the testimony of Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, Charles Evans Hughes as to
the need of a city of a we'll function
ing Chamber of Commerce. He says:
ut is impossible adequately to promote
the prosperity of our cities without
the effective organization of business
men into a chamber of who
not only understands needs and posi-
bilities but who are most competent
to give directions to municipal effort.
The development of the sense of civic
responsibility always follows such CO.
operation and the gains to the COM
munity far exceed the mere material
benefits Of business enterprise" The
truth of this emanation from so high
an authority is undoubtedly recogniz-
ed but still there are right here in Sal
isbury a half hundred citizens who are
withholding their support and coop
Grafton from their local chamber of
commerce and at a time when such an
organization is needed the most.
Reference has been made repeatedly
in this column of the urgent need of
new booklets and literature giving de-
scription of Salisbury and its environs
and asking, yea, pleading for volun-
tary offers from those who have not
given a helping hand during the pres
ent year to come forward with the
sinews necessary to provide the print
ed matter. Hardly a day passes with
out a request for information in detail
of Salisbury. Just this week a request
came from a large southport city ask
ing for ten copies of the booklet
Facts on Manufacturing in Sails
bury" and offering to pay for them
if necessary. That it was embarrassing
to have to admit that the supply was
exhausted can we'll be imagined. Ger
tainly there are those possessed with
a sense of civic responsibility who will
come to the aid of their chamber of
commerce in this matter.
If there is any doubt as to an in
crease in out of state cars visiting Sal
isbury at this time over the same pc
Rod last year, it is only necessary to
stand on a prominent corne and
watch the license tags. That this in
crease is directly due to The promotion
of U. S. Highway No. 29,SThe Main
Street of the South" in which the
Salisbury Chamber of Commerce has
participated to a large extent, is not
to be denied.
The executive committee of the
Piedmont Highway Association
through whose efforts the extension
of U. S. No. 20 was secured, met in
Danville during the past week and it
was with pardonable pride hat the
report was made that Salisbury had
raised its preliminary quota of $500
which is to be credited against its full
share of $1,000 for the 1882 cam
paign for tourists % come through
this city going and coming north and
south.
The traveller passing through this
section is bound to spend his money
and his dollar goes into the pockets
of many concerns and eventually goes
to the bank, hence it is to the interest
of everybody hat effort be
