OF HIS OWN
Sculptor Burglum Destroys Angels
Carved For Cathedral.
Church Dignitaries Thought That Works
of Art Should Represent Masculine.
Gender Artist Haa Notions of his
Own There Is No Coincide.
New York. Oct 11. Gutxon Burglum,
sculptor of the Angel of the Annuncia
tion and of the Angel of the Resur
rection, which were intended to have
adorned the walls of the great cathedral
of St John, the Divine, at Morningaid
Heights, announced yesterday that he
had destroyed the two figure. Mr.
Burglum did so because or a dispute
which had arisen a to whether the fig
ures should be masculine or feminine.
The sculptor had created his concep
tions of the two angsls in the form of
women and hi work had been sharply
criticiszed on that score. Mr. Burglum
said that he had received a final opinion
of one of the church authorities that the
figure must be masculine and he saidt
"I went to the cathedral, and with a
chisel, cut the angela into bits. Al
though I have done nothing in the last
year into which I have put more care
and thought, and although I felt like the
veriest vandal in thus completely wreck
ing what I knew to be works of beauty
and power, I did so to put a stop to
a useless discussion and to prevent any
use being made of the figures other than
hsd been originally intended.
!I am absolutely astounded that any
clergyman would stand in the presence
of 30 or 40 imsges of a purely religious
snd spiritual character and see nothing
in them but sex, and now while the un
pleasant matter is over I am just as
sure as ever that the feminine side of
our race must ever continue'! be our
chief source of artistic inspiration and
will so remain, absolutely nualtered by
all pedantic controversies."

Murdered.
MUTINEERS UNDER ARREST
Quarrel Arose Over the Coffee, Accord
ing to the Story Told by One of the
Negro Prisoners When Overhauled
Deck of Vessel is Covered With Blood.
Washington, Oct 11. The murder of
Captain Rumill and four of the crew of
the four moated schooner Harry Al Ber
wind, in a mutiny, while the vessel was
bound from Mobile to Philadelphia is
the story told to a customs inspector.
The .schooner Blanche King put into
port this evening bringing in irons, three
nrgroe, all that remained of the crew
of the Berwind.
The captain, mate and engineer were
apparently murdered and the bodies
thrown overboard. The body of a fourth
sailor, a negro was found on the deck
where he was killed.
It develops from the story of the
negroes that the mutiny arose as a re
sult of a quarreh about the corTee. The
decks of the Berwind were found cov
ered with blood, giving evidence of a
nerce right, i ne inale s berth was ;
spotted with blood indicating that he
was butchered in bed.
After a searching party placed the
negroes in irons, one complained that
the irons were too tight When they
were loosened the negro whipped out a
pistol and shot one of his shipmates
dead, the presumption being that he
signalled the King against the will of
the other.

RAMSEY'S DEFEAT PROVES
AN OVERWHELMING ONE
Toledo, O., Oct. 11. Joseph Ramsey,
Jr., failed completely today in his ef
fort to wrest the control of the Wa
bash system from George J. Gould. Not
only waa he unanimously defeated in all
he undertook, but he was forced from
the directory of the road and now he
ho nothing whatever to do with its
management in any way. He put up a
hard fight and struggled gamely to the
last, but he was so hopelessly in the
minority, he never hsd a chance. He fil
ed protests at the meeting although not
for the reason, as he afterwards declar
of consumption, bs excited great in
terest in Paris, say a cable dispatch to
the Herald. The Herald correspondent
called on Dr. Behring, who said:
"I may say at once that I could not
entertain an offer of the kind in such a
form.
"1 have made it a principle never to
accept any aid of thia kind from private
individuals.
"It would be another thing if the of
fer came from the American government,
or some organized scientific institution,
snd was made in recognition of the ser
vice I bad rendered to science and hu
manity by the discovery of the serum
against diphtheria and tetanus.
"It is, however, a mistake to imagine
that I have kept my new discovery sec
ret. I have chosen and will continue to
choose person to whom I make the com
munication. "It is only by leaving such delicate in
vestigations in the hand of duly quali
fied men of science that progress csn
be made."
