its enemies and the establishment of its
cause.

Much excitement prevails in Lincoln,
H., over the shooting Sunday of seve-
raj boys by ex-Alderman Elliott A.
Elliott. The lads have been frequent
ing Elliott's park, and when ordered
out they grew noisy and insulting.
Elliott got his shotgun and fired into
the band, wounding some of them quite
seriously.
Alphonse de Melville, the famous
military painter, is dead. He was born
in 1886, and while pupil in the pre-
paratory naval school displayed ca
pscity for drawing that surprised the
professor Of drawing. His parents
compelled him to take a course in Jaw,
but all his spare time was devoted to
strenuous work with the pencil. His
first work was The Fifth Battalion of
Chasseurs at the Gervais Battery"
which was awarded a prize from the
Salon.
