ington Is Moses Ezekial's Confederate monument at Arlington cemetery but recently unveiled. Any attempt at a description would be inadequate, but an idea may be gathered from the fact that it emphasizes in numerous graceful figures the part played by the women of the south in the civil conflict. An interesting feature of this work is the fact that Sir Moses Ezekiai, the sculptor, did the work for nothing—due to the fact that he was himself a southern soldier, enlisting from one of the military schools of Virginia. After the war he expatriated himself and opened his studio in Rome where he has since lived.

If any one interested in his great work at Arlington should care to learn more of Sir Moses and particularly of the development of his art, he should stop in Georgetown on the way back to Washington and run out to "Friendship," the country home of John R. McLean. Traversing the long arbor which is popularly known as flirtation lane he will pass numerous statues, all heroic size, of the great artists, painters, sculptors, composers, from the ancient time to the present age— statues of Raphael, Crawford, "Wagner, Titian, and numerous others, half concealed among the vines of the arbor and later when he enters the rose garden he will And more. Each bears the name of the subject and the sculptor and the date and place of execution. At first blush one is inclined to think that the er.jtwhile proprietor of "Friendship" had gone into a Junk shop and bought up the supply of castaway marbles, or had given a wholesale order to some factory for "two dozen statues." Not that these startues are bo bad as all that. I suppose they are all right. But they are the conventional attempts at an Imitation of the ancients and suspect that Sir Moses would not be especially anxious to have any of them exhibited In Paris as recent products of his genius. At the same time, In view of the brilliant success he has since achieved, the proprietor of "Friendship" would scarcely care to part with so many examples of the work, the early work, of an Ameriaan genius.

Apropos of freak statuary, any one at all interested In American sculpture should not fall to visit the National museum to see the wonderful, if grotesque statue of Washington by Greenough, the first of America's great sculptors. This has a history. It was the work into which Greenough put his whole heart. It was finished long before the civil war and was at first placed within the rotunda of the capital but it was soon found that the immense weight was too much and it was placed on the east plaza facing the capital and there it remained for many years, and until quite recently. I saw it there In the summer of 1907.

STROLLING past Hotel Doming you might look into the store room on the northeast corner. There you will find the

newly established local headquarters of the biggest tire concern in the world, the United States Tire Co., of New York.

In charge of the office is the local manager, E. H. Morse, of Yakahama, Japan, and Providence, R. I. Associated with him for the present in the ta^k of properly introducing the new concern are George E. Carter, territorial manager Ronald M. Fisher, adjuster and detail man, and Calvin C. Mathews and his crew of skilled demonstrators.

Mr. Morse, howejver, Is the gentleman who will have permanent charge of the United Tire company's local branch. Just a brief line on Mr. Morse's past performances la, therefore, In order. Now that Mir. Morse was born in Japan is a circumstance over which he had no control, but it Is a fact, nevertheless, and the Item belongs in the record. It was in Providence, R. I., that Mr. Morse spent his early days. Providence claims George M. Cohan, too, but there has always been more or less of a feud on between the actor-playwright and his "own home town," so we won't dilate on this subject.

Thanks Prc^idence.

Providence, both of 'em for that matter, treated Mr. Morse with the utmost consideration. As a member of the staff of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, Mr. Morse had plenty of early experelnce in a line of work that appealed to him. Then he went into business for himself In Providence. When the Terre Haute branch of the United States Tire company was established Mr. Morse was selected as the man best qualified to take charge. The object In establishing a branch in Terre Haute Is an amiable one. There Is no Intention to Interfere with the dealer, but rather to help him, as well as the customers. Dealers as well as auto owners are welcome to call at headquarters and receijve pointers. The United States Tire company has fortyfive factories in America, and another, the Dominion Rubber company, being located in Canada.

The concern manufactures the original Dunlap straight edge tire, the quick detachable clincher automobile tire, the nobby tread automobile tire,

The ridicule which greeted this work is said to have literally broken the heart of Greenough. The whole trouble consisted In the conception of Washington by the sculptor as a god of mythology or a figure from the antique world. He had him seated, one arm outstretched—towards the capital it was—barefooted and wearing sandals, and only clothed in a robe which rested over one shoulder, leaving the other, together with his arms, bare.

It was too much for the generation

ANew Remedy for Kidney, Bladder and all Uric Acid Troubles

Successfully Used by Many Physicians and Surgeons in Their Hospital Practice. Dr. Weir Mitchell once said: "What we call diseases are only symptoms of conditions. Allow the man's vitality to be reduced to a certain point, and he Is ripe for any of these weaknesses, or certain conditions which we call disease."

Through failure of kidneys to act, thru congestion, inflammation, any person's condition is ripe for disease to fasten its hold upon the system.

At Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., there has been tested for the past few years a new remedy for kidney, bladder, uric acid troubles, rheumatism, gout, and such ailments as follow, and so many cases both acute and stubborn have yielded to this wonderful remedy that Doctor Pierce decided to name It "AnUrlc," and arrange for its distribution to the public through medicine dealers everywhere.

If backache, scalding urrne or frequent urination bother or distress you, or If uric- acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, gout or sciatica, if you suspect that you have kidney or bladder trouble, write Doctor Pierce, at Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, K. Y., Bend a

sample of urine, and describe symptoms. A physician and chemist will examine it without charge and you will be under no obligation whatever. These "An-Uric" Tablets cannot fall to help you, because their action flushes the kidneys of impurities and puts strength into them, it being 37 times more active than lithia in dissolving uric acid.

Obtain a 50-cent box of these tablets today from your druggist here in Terre Haute. Simply ask for Doctor Pierce's An-Uric Tablets. There can be no imitation. Every package of An-Uric is sure to be Dr. Pierce's. You will find the signature on the package just as you do on Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the ever-famous friend to ailing women, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discolvery, proven by years to be the greatest general tonic and reconstructor for any one. From personal. observation In large hospital practice. Dr. Pierce knows these tablets will give you speedy help If you are suffering from urrc acid trouble, and to show his sincere faith this prescription is sold under a positive guarantee to any person who has taken a full box and has not been helped.

which knew the contemporaries of Washington to think of the immortal George in such attire, or lack of attire. Many amusing stories went the rounds about it while it occupied its place on the plaza. One of the figures on the capital steps was that of an American pioneer holding In his hand a huge globe, representative of tho world. The fact that Washington had ono arm outstretched towards the capital lead the gentle guides to assure the tourist that the two figures were engaged in a game of hand ball. Another story was that the significance of the outstretched arm of Washington toward the salons of the nation was that he was making a pathetic appeal to get back his clothes. The rather too unconventional idea finally Impelled the powers that be to have the statue removed even from the plaza and placed In the museum where It should always remain because of Its part in the history of the development of American art and in the story of Horatio Greenough.

"The Greek Slave."

Another intensely interesting bit of statuary intimately associated with the artistic development of the American people that is to be seen at the Corcoran gallery but which is often lost sight of among the many other less significant treasures of the place is "The Greek Slave" by Hiram Powers. It is one of the most exquisite things in the gallery—the nude form of a beautiful woman, her hands chained, an expression of shrinking modesty to the whole. The beauty alone attracts today, but the time was before we have even commenced to get rid of the disgusting prudery and hypocracy of our much vaunted and overestimated puritan forebears when the exhibition of "The Greek Slave" in the city of Cincinnati created such a furore of protest, lead on by the godly ministers of the community, that

it was found necessary to send the lady into retirement. It soon fell Into tho hands of Corcoran, the Washington banker and philantrophist, and for many years it occupied a place in his beautiful home, still standing, on Lafayette square, protected from the touch of the society buds and blossoms that haunted that home of prodigal hospitality by a chain set a few feet from the statue.

It is said that even the society of the capital, or that portion not connected with the diplomatic corps, thought Itself real naughty when it stole a glance at the nude figure in marble. Later on when Corcoran through his philantrophy gave the capital the art gallery which bears his name "The Greek Slave" found a permanent home. Many such figures will be found, albeit none more beautiful, but its chief value is after all its historic significance.

Old Hickory in Bronze.

Still another statue that has a history, which is seen by most tourists with but a cursory glance, is the equestrian statue of Jackson in the center of Lafayette square and facing the white house. The figure of horse and rider in bronze was moulded from melted cannon used by Old Hickory in his campaigns, and about the monument stands several of the laughably small guns that saw service in the fight with our "English cousins" in the war of 1812. The statue was originally placed in the white house grounds and was there during the Lincoln regime, but was later moved to Its present site. In those days the park was known as Jackson square but during the spiteful and bigoted partisan days that followed the war the name of a great democratic president became obnoxious and the change in the name was made. It Is an open secret that many partisans even envy Old Hickory his place in the park and thus we hear much criticism against

Suit

the statue and the suggestion that it should be removed and replaced by a statue of Washington—an absurdity in view of the fact that monument to Washington loon above the city. Tho criticism Is predicated on the fact that the horse rearing is standing on its hind feet and with no evidence pf support.

The would-be critic Insists that this is a frightful strain on the supersensitive nerves of the beholder, and that one's attention is detracted from the horse and rider to the puzzle as to how the equilibrium is maintained. Therefore by all means get rid of this monument to a democratic president— the only one in Washington. It is worthy of note that while this country has had ten democats for president only one has been honored with a monument in Washington. Charles Sumner was always greatly grieved because of the prominence given this statue. Of course his pain was due to the shock to his artistic temperament and not to the fact that he always thought a democrat just a little worse than the devil. We read In his biography that when driving "a foreigner" down the avenue fcast the white house he always felt humiliated on account of the Jackson statue and found some excuse for directing the foreigner's attention in the opposite direction. Any one who has read the authorized biography of Sumner and his correspondence will know that ho was an insufferable snob, an English toady, who was often much humiliated when showing "a foreigner" about this oountry.

Historio Figures.

It was less humiliating to Sumner to divert the "foreigner's" attention away from the great American "soldier and statesman who drove England from our shores for the second time to the white house with its coat of white paint to cover the story of Ignominious burning of the home of the president by the red coats of a century ago. Of course it's only a matter of taste. But reverting to the pretext for the removal of the statue-^-the rearing horse. One might naturally assume from the Injured sensibilities of artistic souls that this is the only smilar monument in the world.

As a matter of fact there are too many such monuments to mention. Suffice it to say that the statue of Peter the Great at Petrograd, acknowledged to be one of the finest equestrian statues in the world, represents the great Russian czar on a rearing horse—quite similar to that on which Jackson is shown. To remove from Lafayette square the Jackson monument carved from the cannon that ploughed the way to glorious American victories and honoring one of the real heroes of our history would be to commit an outrage that should be resented by every American with a drop of patriotic blood in his veins.

So much for monuments with histories. Here let me add that if ninetenths of the monuments in Washington, most of them erected in memory of comparatively obscure men, and few of artistic merit, were thrown Into the Potomac the city would be the better for It

AGED BERRY PICKER HURT IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT

Perry Barnhouse In Critical Condition—Suffers Dislocation and Fracture to Shoulder.

By Special Correspondent. L^WKENCJEVILLE, 111., July 3.— Perry Barnhouse of this city met with an accident about noon yesterday that may result fatally. In company with a son, he was hunting blackberries, driving a horse that was considered gentle. When a few miles norm of the city the animal became frightened and started to run.
