The Maklrt fl of Exposition Statuary.

round-house of the Erie Railway in
Hoboken, which is used as a studio.
Formerly the sculptor modeled and
eaUnely completed their own groups
Afid figures, working at a great disad
antage. But with newer methods,
requiring only the conception of the
idea in the form of a small model
tne is not required to work
upon his own statute. This has been
made possible by the great improve
ment in methods of enlargement The
pointing-machine,” the invention
ot a young Brooklyn sculptor, R.
T. Paine, is employed in making the
enlarged figure correspond precisely
in proportion and outline to the clay
model. Adjoining a plaster cast of
this clay model is placed a framework
of w-ood, which presents the general
outlines of the figure or group to he
reproduced. It is covered with plas
ter ’until an outline resembling, in
some degree, that of the model’has
been attained.
Then the pointing-machine is
brought into play, it is a horizontal
fin tube some eight feet in length,
with smaller tubes or arms at each
end terminating in points, and extend
ing from it at right angles. The ma
■chine is operated upon a framework
w’liloh has a sliding-scale measure
ment. Upon the plaster model small
black dots have been made about an
inch apart. The point of the small
■arm of the machine is placed on one
■of these dots, and the point of the
long arm is placed in a correspondent
to it on the figure to be built up.
Tfaite are driven in to mark these
■spots, and cement is put on to round
•out the figure. Two men operate the
machine. The figure is then brought
to the stage where it may receive
'the finishing touches from the hands
■of an expert workman, who is him
self a sculptor.—Elsie Reasoner, in
Harper’s Weekly.
BRINGING HUM AROUND.
“‘I can’t get up early,” said a
wealthy gentleman to his doctor.
“Oh, yes, you can”’ was the reply,
“if you will only follow my advice.
What is your usual hour of rising?”
“Nine o’clock.”
“Well, get up balf-an-hour later ev
ery day, and in the course of a
month you will find yourself up at 4
in the morning.”—Pearson’s Weekly.

Cecil (sentimentally) Don’t you
feel gloomy when the sky is overcast
with gray, when the rhythmic rain
sounds a dirge upon the roof and the
landscape’s beauties are hid by the

hair come out of curl so!” —Tid Bits.

come first, and the frost afterward. —

TROUBLE IN PANAMA.
Malcontents o: Co'cmbia Ruse Flag
cf Session and Proclaim
Their independence.
The independence of the isthmus of
Panama, Colombia, was proclaimed at
6 p. m. Tuesday. A large and enthu
siastic crowd of all political parties
assembled and marched to the headq
uarters of the government troops,
where Generals Tovar and Amaya
were imprisoned in the name of the re
public of Panama. The enthusiasm
was immense and at least 3,000 of the
men in the gathering were armed.
The battalion of Colombian troops
at Panama favors the movement,
which is also thought to meet with
the approval of at least two of the
government transports now- here.
The following cablegram was re
ceived at the navy department Tues-
day night:
"An uprising tocke place at Panama
tonight, independence was proclaim
ed. The Colombian army and navy
officials were made prisoners. A gov
ernment is to be organized consisting
cf three consuls and a cabinet. It is
rumored at Panama that a similar up
fising was to take place at Colon.”
Later the following official state
ment was made regarding the news
from Panama:
“A number of confused and conflict
ing dispatches have been received
from the isthmus indicating rather se
rious disturbances at Doth Panama and
Colon The navy department has dis
patched several vessels to these ports,
with direction to do everything possi
ble to .keep travel open and maintain
order along the line of the railroad.”
The sensational advices from the
isthmus were not entirely unexpected
in view of other advices that had come
to the department very recently! Tbe
reception of the news caused a sud
den outburst of activity at the navy de
partment and at once on President
Roosevelt’s return from New York he
was made acquainted with the situa
tion. Secretary Hay, Assistant Secre
tary Darling, Assistant Secretary
Loomis and a number of others were
summoned to the white house, and
measures were taken at once for the
protection of American interets at the
isthmus.

LANDSLIDE IN STATE Of OHIO.
Herrick Swamps Johnson and Hanna is As
sured of Re-Election to Senate.
The republicans broke their record
in Ohio Tuesday in pluralities for gov
ernor by electing Colonel Myron T.
Herrick republican, over Mayor Tom
L. Johnson, democrat, by considerably
over 100,000. The plurality on joint
ballot of over 100 in the legislature for
the re-election of Senator Hanna mere
than trebles any xormer record. Sena
tor Foraker had a record beaking ma
jority of 35, on joint badot tor his re
election two years ago and that ior
Hanna this year is thrse times that
number.
Hanna succeeded John Sherman m
die senate March 15, 1597, by appoint
ment from Governor Bushnel, and
when Senator Hanna was elected for
the unexpired Sherman term and the
full term of six years, ending March 5,
1905, he had only one majority after
the most bitter contest that was ever
waged in an Ohio legislature. Senator
Hanna will have the distirmUon of hav
ing the largest as well as the smallest
majority of any senator elected from
Ohio.
Ohio Result Pleases Roosevelt.
According to a Washington dispatch
the only expression which President
Roosevelt would make regarding the
election was that he was very mu:b
gratified with the results from Ohio.
