Art and the Industrial Pursuits.

The lecture Of Colonel George Ward
Nichols on the advantages of education in
art, which was delivered at Pixies Opens
house last evening under the auspices 8
the Women's Art Museum, drew laTge
and intelligent audience, and was of nlarksa
interest throughout. q
cause of the earnest and successful efforts
of Colonel Nichols in the past to arouse
our people to the Importance of educating
pupils in art that they may turn the knOwi-
edge to account in the practical affairs OF
life. Colonel Nichols is the author of the
finest work Oh this subject that has ever
been written, and speaks not only with
ability but as man who talks of that in
which he is deeply interested.
He traced the many advantages to accrue
to our people from the attention that il
being given to art matters in their applica-
ton to the industrial pursuits, and con-
cluded with sketch of the course necessary
to be taken in educating the people to a
proper acquaintance with art. Such train
ing must be commenced with the pupils Of
| the public schools in the primary depart
ment, and continued through the highest
grades. This preliminary training must DO
supplemented by that of schools and acade-
mics of design. These schools of desig1
should have primary department for the
instruction of pupils who could not enjoy
the advantages of the public schools, and
night sessions should be held for the benefit
of those who were at work during the day.
Then there should be schools for the
special industries, the establishment OF
which must be left to the private interest
of manufacturers. Last and greatest of al
there should be museum ofapplied scfnce,
where the skilled artisan might study new
forms adapted TO his branch OF labor. II
was in behalf of such museum that the
Loan Collection Exhibition was projected
This collection would excite the greatest
interest, since the public was unaware Of
the treasures now hidden in many homes III

solicit not only loans, but donations for the
museum. The speaker felt assured that
thousands of beautiful objects would re-
ward them if they made such a request

L1rrLnoN, W. VA, March 21.-Commu-
nifty is shocked by the discovery of horri-
BILE triple murder the victims being the
wife and four-months-old child of George
Wallace, and young girl named Mary
Church, fourteen years DID, niece of the
murdered woman. All circumstances yet
known are the following: John Wallace, a
brother of the husband of the murdered
woman and child, was coming through the
woods, and, when a mile from Baker s
house, discovered the dead body of Mrs
Wallace and the child. She was lying on
her back, near fence corner, and her child
across her breast, both of them horribly
mutilated their skulls being broken by
some blunt instrument like a club.
He gave the alarm and started for his
brother, who was working about two miles
away. He went first to his brothers house,
where he found Mary Church, the niece of
his brothers wife, who had been living with
them, lying ON the floor with three fright
full gashes in her forehead, either of which
would cause immediate DEATH
Upon further examination it was found
that she had been brutally outraged and
then murdered, and also that Mrs Wallace
had been outraged before she was muir
dered.
The father of Mrs Wallace and the father
of Mary Church had George Wallace and
his brother John Wallace arrested at once
The Wallaces are suspected OF being bad
pair and are said to be refugees from Ohio,
but have conducted themselves well since
their stay here John Wzilxss Gnst went by
the name of Baker.

RICHMOND, IND, March 21.--The Inde-
pendents special from Rushville states that
the jury found a verdict of guilty in the
Foxwell case, and sent him up for life.
The Hustled rape case has arrived at the
beginning of the end. The testimony was
all finished yesterday, and the arguments
commenced to-day. The jury will probably
retire tomorrow morning Opinion is
greatly divided, but small majority is that
the jury will either convict or disagree.
James Benham, tramp, claiming to be
from Cleveland Ohio, attempted suicide by
jumping from the National Bridge into the
river. He struck on his side on the edge of
the rocky bank, and was not seriously hurt.
The water into which he jumped was only
three or four feet deep, but he supposed it
much deeper, being but few yards above
the dam He and his companion, James
Daugherty, were both drunk at the time.
The jump was about forty feet. Benham
is about twenty-four years old.
Richmond is building up a reputation for
big scandals probably enjoyed by no city OF
the size in the land The Hustled rape case
will not be finished for several days, but an.
other case similar except the rape part, is
ready for the public. A few nights since
two married men took two young girls to
the City Park and held matinee of the
Venus kind. A party had watched them
and so it leaked out. All are of the first
families, and the affair will stir society Wig

THE GREAT WALK.
O'Leary Continues to Lead

National Associated Press to the Star.
LONDON, March 21.-The International six
days pedestrian contest at Agricultural Hall,
Isington, in which the competitors are al
lowed to either run or walk, is creating un-
usual interest. The excitement over the af-
fair is intense. All classes are present, from
the titled dukes and lords to the Cheapside
hackmen.
AT o'clock the Telegraph Board an
nounced the following results: O'Leary,
265k miles; Vaughan 1854; Brown, 248;
Corkey, 243.
AT o'clock the building was packed by
a vast concourse of spectators, and 'Leary
was continually gaining on his competitors,
walking as fast as when he started and 60
ing like a machine. Among the prominent
persons present were Captain Wyndham,
Mr.. Stevenson of New York, Carroll Liv-
ingston, Lord Fermoy, James Gordon Ben
nett, and number Of the nobility.
At l o'clock this morning O'Leary had
completed 2SS miles, Vaughan and Brown
270 each, Corkey 256 and Ide 230. O'Leary
continued on his walk, being apparently
fresh, but at the above hour all his COM
petitors had retired for rest.
LONDON, March 21-At 8 p. M. to-day
O'Leary had scored 1876 miles, Vaughan
0l0, brown 5O0 ana tne OCnerS CONSIDERABLY
behind. Several of the pedestrians who
started in the contest are almost used up,
and are only walking at intervals
Vaughan has to-day kept up an almost
steady trot, and is now gaining on O'Leary.
Brown is doing remarkably well, and looks
surprisingly fresh. Corkey, who did some
remarkable walking during the first two
days, is now believed to be out of the race.
OLeary received much encouragement
from the spectators, but nothing seems to
change the steady stride which he has
maintained since he abandoned his trotting
| tactics on Tuesday morning.

DISTILLED SPIRITS.
WASHINGTON, March 21-Senators Beck
and Matthews appeared yesterday before
the Senate Finance Committee to advocate
the bill extending the bonded period for
distilled spirits. A strong letter from the
of the bill was read. No opposition to the
measure was disclosed, but upon the sug-
gestion of the Chairman it was decided to
have Commissioner Raum present at the
next meeting, before taking any final ac-
ton. The friends of the bill feel confident
of its passage.
THRTARIFF. 'l
The Ways and Means Committee agreed
to convert the thirty-five per cent. ad val
orem duties on iron in certain forms into
the equivalent specific duties. The effect
Of this will probably be to secure the sup
port of the Democratic portion of the Penn
sylvania delegation, and enhance the pros
poets of passing the bill. In the classifica-
ton of the duties OH wool there
is now a discrimination against the
wool produced in the Southern
States. An effort will be made to correct
this, by substituting general ad valorem
duty of thirty-fve per cent. on all wool ex-
cept in certain foreign wool, which does
not compete with an American product,
where the duty can be safely lowered. The
tariff part of the bill will be completed in a
day or two. The plan now is to report the
tariff part by itself, and the income tax and
tobacco tax part in a separate bill. The
duty on tobacco will almost certainly be
put at 16 cents per pound.
TIE MEXICAN BORDER.
Mr.. Schleichers report on the Mexico

TO be thought that as soon as the report
shall be made the Diaz Government will be
recognized. Secretary Evarts, it is under
stood, has deferred action on this and some
other questions, because Congress had un.
dertaken their investigation.
