JJan Cheong, a Ciilnaman of Canton,
began four yearn ago to cane upon Ixory
upon nn elephant's tusk, almost sex en
feet In length. He xxoikcil, we are told,
fort-txxo months, und now xxe sec the re
sult in Uic Liberal Arts building.
Upon the tusk are pictured mountains
and a cltj xxlth its residence, the road
leading to the city nnd the neighboring
rural .enes all peopled, and with a bat
tle in progress.
Bj count, pexcntj-'cxrn human figures
arc depicted, with numerous animate. The
detail carefully reprcfcntcd Is hardly oon
celxable. Nan Cheong worked with his
nippers and Knixes upon the hard sur
raoc with persistent energy, . never once
cracking or cutting his matcrlrfPln a
wrong manner.
Now the x-aluc of his labor Is estimated
at JIS,jO. To xery few pcr-ons would it
x worth the sum, but. knowing that fees
tnust enter In. that the xalue of the ixory
Klone Is .much, and realising- that three
years' labor has been expended, the large
amount Is explained.
Here h one more Index at the r.iir to'
the manner of man that the Chinaman Is.
We Itaxo been told by Japanese and
educated Chinese that the Chinaman at
heart and at home Is a peacable soul who
likes nothing better than to be ict alone
r'to Hxo as his ancestors have llxed for
Rome thousands of years. He. wants his
jice, his etiquetteuand the work which
Jy the fact of hi parentage and train
ing has become his. These given him and
?a wm pioa atong ai nis iasK, cneeriuny
ind willing!) . sparing no pains, guilty of
1 loafing, regnndlcss, of the time con-
umed and eatlsfled with small profits.
Of course, we hear of the Boxers and
licir enormities, but we can soon learn
Uial the Boxers are a handful among the
rhlnc.-e and jtb-it.jCYen they are wroth
I JJhlcfly at the Influences bent upon "aak-
Jnlng China" upon making a cosmopoll
! n of tho Chinaman. China wants no
evolutions.. Chinamen desire only to go
n carving epics of infinite length upon
iory tusks or Inscribing verses by the
ex-crc Confucius upon grains of rice;
jhcse things', or others to which their In
dividual surroundings may haxe inclined
'pom. At any rate, wo can well believe It
after stadxlng this Ixory tusk.
y There are two such tusks exhibited.
jChe one by Nan Cheong, .and the other by
?han Quan Kee. Each Is amazingly
Vlaborate. but as the former Is slight
ly the larger, attention can be centered
HPon 1U
.It la somewhat difficult to trace the
oesy which the Chinese artist has ex
pressed, though some fanciful meaning is
declared to be hidden within all pictoral
Intricacies of the kind. However, the
inertly literal Interpretation of the carv-
G
g Is -qulto' a -sufficient drain-upon one's
wers of comprehension. How he did it
Jjid what he did are questions plenty big.
fc'hy he should have done it Is more than
ji worth "while attempting to answer. -'presumably
the 'themo? begins at the

feargase of the tusk, since In Its present po-
i4tlon the base Is the top..the. point resting
Qnrtr down upon a stand of carved ebony.
yAt the top, pr. base, then, are. the moun
l alns. They are very delicately indicated,

the foliage of trees, an effect which is
splendldlv accomplished. In sblxing the
problem of foliage, the carxer dlsplixs a
wonderful Insenultj. "uccesfull render
ing foui different kinds.
Then, the eaxes and wall of an Impos
ing Chlnce xllla appear, thiough a in
dow of which a feminine face peers.
Down farther, we are at the foot of the
walls, and. there four men arc appar
ently at1 plaj at a tabl while "crxants
arc carrying refrchments to them. Next
wc find a woman ct some woik. 'She
seems to lie knading dough.
Proceeding, we get the imprcIon that
a bloody battle Is forward, 1'pon the one
side we find an abode which Iboks like
an Imperial residence and standing at lis
entrance is a commanding personage sur
rounded by dignitaries and attendants.
A little way from the entrance, in front
of the man whom we arcept as the Era-''
peror. is a warrior with hworti "and
shield and his expression is to the last
degree bellicose. Circling arounJ the,
tusk and still tracing our wax- downxxt.nl
we come across other i-old'rs, xnll of
whom are armed -"A 1th swords or bows, un
til we reach a point which suggests Itself
as the wall of the city. Then we are in the
thick of the fray. Outside a mob is per
forming prodigies, apparently with the
Idea of getting in, and Inside the defend
ing boay militant Is striving with cval
ardor to keep the others out.
There are men xxlth banners and with
spcar, on foot and a-horse. In fact a
rousing battle is indicated.
Following our downward course, wc
again enter into the precincts of peace.
At one place a rhinoceros appears to be
gorging "himself. Trax-elers arepursulng
their ways along the road; bullocks and
sheep are grazing In pastures At another
point we are brought to the brink of a
stream, where a lonely fisherman Is trj
Ing.'hte, luck.
The whole is a maze of animals, figures,
architecture and foliage so complex as to
impress one as Impossible of. Interpreta
tion by carving, "hoy. ex-ei- conventional
might be the style adopted".
This Chinese section Is replete with carv
ings, i inlaid work and screens, all of ex
ceedingly; elaborate design. Be it with
ebony, rosewood, Ixory of more common
material, tho qualities of the medium are
lost-sight of In comparison with the mar
velous" facility displayed by the work
men. But, you 'aretold, with a soft and
-pliable 'wood a skillful carver obtains re
sults with a quickness that Is completely
astonishing.
The practiced Chinaman, In doing such
work, binds himself with no preparatory
drafts. He takes the xirgin wood and
hoiHnit tn rnrx-e. allowing his fancy free

the connecting Jinks between a series of i
themes illustrative of Chinese life. 'He will
have, as Is the case with a screen of
the exhibit, laborers at work In the
rice fields for one subject; and
from this, he will thread a way by the
use of hts conventional and uniform de
sign to another space, which has been re
served for a domestic scene, or for a. man
drawing water at a well. So on until, all
his space Is filled.

PROPRIETORS SUBMIT RATES.
Exccutne Body Kegartlh Kesulth
. of Canvass as Refutation
of Adverse Alle
gations. A report on the matter of hotel rates
was submitted esterday to the Executive
Committee of the World'!) Fair ny the tpc
clal committee appointed to Inx'cstlgate
allegations made outside the city that the
hotels of St. Louts were overcharging vis
itors for their accommodations.
While the Investigations of. the commit
tee, haxe not jet been completed, the' re
port of their findings so far is satisfactory
to the Exccutixe Committee, which re
gards it as a complete answer to the re
ports of ox ercharging.
The special committee consists of C. H.
Huttlg, chairman; C. P. Walbridge, A. D.
Brown, Nicholas M. Bell and John
Schroers. They were Instructed, tojnvosti
gate ful'y the reports of overcharges and
to obtain definite statements of rates from
the several hotels, to be embodicd'in their
report. - ' x
The committee reported that tho meet
ing held with the proprietors, ot.the prin
cipal hotels of he .city was -attended also
by Ellas Michael of the" Business Men's
League and H. H. Wernse, president of
the Merchants' Exchange. '
The committee submitted jestcrdny the
written statements of the proprietor of
the principal hotels, all of which, with one
exception, were definite as to rates and
of, a satisfactory character. The wording
of one of the statements made'lt doubtful
as to tvhether the rate quoted was the
price of a room with more than ono in It
or the price charged for each one In the
room. A more .explicit-statement' will be
requested.
The canvass Is proceeding, and as soon
as two or three additional hotels haxe
been heard from, the rates, as given over
the signatures of the proprietors, will be
published.
About a year ago the Exposition man
agement obtained from the managements
of the principal hotels in St. Louis a
statement of the prices that would, pre
vail at their respective hotels, and a
pledge that the rates would not be In
creased during the World's Fair period.
The committee found that every hotel
which had given such a. pledge was re
specting It.

and customs of the various nations, but
with the progress of the various countries
as shown In their exhibits at the Exposi

Turning to President Francis Mr. Ham
lin said: "It is the fortune of few men
to govern cities. It is the fortuhe of few
men to build cities, but you have the good
fortuno to govern a dty you have bullded.
"There are two cities in the world to
day which are the cynosure of all eyes,"
said Mr. Hamlin. "One Is Port Arthur,
the city of war: the other is this Ivory
City of Peace. In the one two great na
tions strive In bloody conflict -for su
premacy. In the other all nations strive
by peaceful means to exhibit to the world
the progress they have made In the arts
and sciences. When 'this Ivory City shall
have passed away recollection will hesi
tate In doubt as to whether It existed In
fact or fancy. I consider It the duty of

lessons to be found to The City of

Congressman jr. At -Tawney followed
Governor , Van Sant. After speaking
briefly about the part played hy Minneso
ta in the lnsurguratlon of the Exposition,
Mr. Tawney said that he would not con
sume time in lauding a State," tho great
ness of which was shown-In her exhibits,
