Nobody yet know wbo the California
Venn, la, and the question must be de
termined by popular vote. There is about
to be a content for tha distinction, open
to all native California women who re-
aide In the state. Candidates will be re
quired to have their phyaical charmi con
lidered by a committee of the local art
lata and then to aland in similar review
before all who wluli to judge.
Tbe statue of the new en at la to be
the central ornament in the California
room of tbe Woinen'e building, and the
beauty ccutrat will be nnder the super
vision of the lady who baa charge of
that room, Mrs. Frona Eunice Wait of
this city. The scheme devised by Mra,
Wait will be carried out by ber for the
implo purpose of setting California
beauty in its just and shining light be
fore the world.
Hay Mra. Wait: "Our standard of
beauty Is the Venus of Milo, and the
uccesaf ul candidate in the contest will
be tbe woman coming nearest to that
statue in form and measurements. The
contest, which begina immediately and
will continue long enough to give all tba
tato a fair chance In getting ready for
the competition, is by means of photo
graphs. Of course the photographs need
not be entirely from the nudo. The
candidate, when poaing for photographs,
mar wear a drnpenr of cheesecloth or
crape, which will conceal while ret re-
ealing. The figure must be shown.
The photograph ninat be in the 1'urie
panel form, one a full faced view and
the other a profile.
"W ben the time for selection arrives.
we shall appoint a committee of three
loading artist to pas on the photo
graphs. These judges, baring no In for
mation about the originals, will select
the three that are the beat modeled.
Tli woman who Is chosen will then be
asked to pose fur the sculptor. Rupert
Bchmld has promised hi services, and
be will do Ins beat work in making a
a life size statue of our California beauty,
An exact likeness of tbe face will be
modo, and the form will be In tba exact
proportion."
Mr. Schniid, the sculptor, aari the sub
ject that he want for the itatue I tbe
typical California beauty. "If the model
Inaiata on liaving the work don from
measurement,'' said he yesterday, "why
I will do It that way, but the statue will
be of less substantial material than 1
would otherwise uso. A good Vena
cannot be tuado from a tapeline. There
are rule to k by in modeling from the
measurements, but neither can you get
a satiitfactory and lifelike figure from a
act of rules. A woman should not ob
jpet to King if her atutiie is to bo nude.
Justice to herself require it, and it is
perfectly pror. The Greek goddesses
bod the hightwt principle of morality,
but they wore little drapery. And so.
when we come to model our California
Venu, alio may be draped like a Greek
goddess." i?un Francisco Chronicle.

aa far aa known, ever fairly outwitted

Denver Tribunn, di tailed reporter after
reporter to interview Mr. Gould during
one of bit visit to Colorado, but each
brooght bac k word that the little rail
road king would not be seen and bad
posted sentinels all along the hotel cor

propose to do about that car? I must

"Young man," said Mr. Gonld stern
v you're a reporter, yon can take
yourself right out of tho room, fur I am

Skiff orguod the point and not being

"Unless yon put me ont," laid he,
"I shall stay bero till yon tell me what

This audacity pi caned Gould. II

tbe government of tbe restoration extended
tbe right of apiieanug in muntiiches to the

During all these years, moreover, tbe

bushy whiskers, sneered and railed at th
uuhappy "pekius," took Ihe wall of them
