THE ART EXHIBIT.
Works of Mr.. Forsythe- An Admired Land
scape from the Easel of Mr.. Steele.

The art exhibit will continue through next
week. Some of Mr. Forsythes works are of the
'impressionist" type and are much admired by
persons whose taste runs that way. especially
those pictures which he names "pangs." One of
those "pangs" looks like dream of back yard
in carpet beating time Another is perhaps a
ship sailing out on the Spanish main, or it may
be windmill in terrific wind. There's "free
handling there of that ship or windmill by the
wind. Mr. Forsythe has knack of neatly catch
ing the looks and ways of little domestic ami
mails The quick, alert curiosity of hen, the
solicitude of eve forher lamb, are portrayed by
him finely and there is no small art in doing
this. In some of his landscapes the clouds seem
sailing through the air and the trees wave in the
sunshine. The most admired picture is the
''Bavarian Highlands, by Mr.. Steele. This was
painted out of doors, and shows it. The artist
spent several weeks on this work.

THREE In SUCCESSION.
The Indianapolis Club Scores Another Vic

Six hundred people, lnuf1ed in overcoats and
winter wraps, sat with shivering limbs and chat
tering teeth through the third and last game be-
tween the Louisville and Indianapolis clubs at
Seventh street Park yesterday afternoon. The
home club elevated itself decidedly in the good
opinion of its friends by administering the third
consecutive defeat to the Falls City club, by
score of 5 to 2 Casey, the new left-handed
pitcher, was put in to pitch. and if his work of
yesterday is fair indication of what may be
expected of him in the future, he will be de-

grand men, for the work developed the man

Hindoo converted to Jesus Christ will live te
see the resurrection" and yet thousands of Hin
docs had been Christianized. Mrs. Street gave
an interesting account of life in Madagascar; the
suppression Of the native Bible translated at 8
great labor; the spread of Christianity, notwith
standing the ostracsm and tortue of thousands

advisers on any subject he asks for it, but he decides the question in his own way with out regard to whether majority of his ad- vlsers is for or against his views. No min utes are kept of cabinet meetings, and as no reporters are present, the proceedings are never given in detail. An ex-cabinet official says the public loses little by the observance of secrecy, for the talk is discursive and fragmentary and would not be read if pub- lished.
 Nevertheless, all necessary precautions are taken to prevent the proceedings of cabinet meetings from being overheard, and full report of one has not been published since the days when Webster was Secretary of State. An enterprising correspondent of that day in some way contrived to get into an adjoining room where he could overhear every word. MT. Webster himself discov- cred the leak after several meetings had been reported, and ever since the rooms have been carefully watched.
 Imagine what eight bank directors or an equal number of asylum trustees on pretty good terms with one another would do if shut up in back room away from public gaze, and some notion probably can be formed. of what cabinet meeting is like. All the pictures that are made of cabinet groups are absurdities. The Secretaries do not stand in tragic attitudes with hands thrust in the breasts of close buttoned coats, nor do they stand with elbow resting on the mantel, nor sit with folded arms and knitted brows. They just sit carelessly and easily at table like other folks, toying with penholders, tearing scraps of paper or thrum- ming on their portfolios.
 Abraham Lincoln, it is said, walked into the cabinet meeting that was to consider the emancipation proclamation with 8 copy of Artemus Wards book in his hand and read passage from it aloud before passing to more serious business. Many session, too, he nT1IJ mad hn true. In fact some of the best stories re- peated in after-dinner circles during every administration commonly reported to have been first told at cabinet meetings.

worked so well that the last legislature has greatly improved it in the direction of stringency. Saloon keepers are prohibited from selling or giving or supplying liquors to minors, or employing minors in their saloons, or allowing them to play any game there, or to frequent them without the written permission of their parents or guardians, under penalty of $50 to be re- covered as forfeit by the parent or quar- dian, besides being deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor punishable by 8 fine of not less than $50. Liquors cannot be sold at the places where made in less quantities than one gallon. There is heavy fine for selling less quantity or forallowing it to be drunk on the premises. Perhaps the most impor- tant amendment of any is that abolishing special licenses to sell wine and beer, requir- ing regular dramshop license for the sale of any intoxicating liquors; the minimumsprice of license is $550 year, and may be as high as $1 200. It was found that those who took out cheap licenses for wine and beer would sell all kinds of liquors. The new law went into effect on Tuesday and much is expected from it.

CITY REPRESENTATIVE.


 A case which is of interest to all property owners in cities has just been decided by the New York Court of Appeals. The suit was brought by Mir. Genet against the city of Brooklyn to recover from the city certain amounts of awards for damages done to prop erty which he claimed overba1anced the as sessments he was called upon to pay for ben efts received in connection with the improve ment. Upon the trial of the case in the local supreme court the justice decided that the assignee of the plaintiff was entitled to judg- ment for land taken and for awards for dam ages in an amount approximating to $10, 900. From this decision the city appealed. The appellate court does not decide that the judgment of the lower court was erroneous upon the merits involved in the litigation, but sets it aside and orders a new trial upon technical grounds.
 The opinion, which is e very long one, discusses fully the often debated question of the relation of the legislature to local legisla- tive bodies and also comments at length up- on the laws which govern public improve ments in Brooklyn. The two issues which the judge considers to be involved in the case are IT the right of land owner, part of whose land has been taken, to recover the whole sum estimated by the commissioners as damages or only the balance of award over assessments and whether in case of sev- eral lots owned by the same person they shall be treated as distin% and separate par cells, and [2] whether the statute for provid- ing compensation to the land owner satisfies the constitutional provision that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. He decides with regard to the first issue that in deter mining the liabilities of the city to pay awards to the land owner each lot must be separately considered, ESQ that an assess ment on one lot will not reduce an award in respect to another lot although both lots may be owned by the same person." With regard to the second question involved, Judge Andrews holds that Eff there is any departure from sound principles in the method of adjusting compensation" under the law governing the Genet case, "it is sanctioned by long line of legislation and judicial proceedings which the courts are not at liberty to disregard"

Purses.

PARASOLS have got to go now-no trifling with slow styles or superfuous stock best styles have to be cheaper too to keep ahead of competi- tors.-Here is what we. did on Saturday-marked down after this fashion: A lot of colored satin, lined and lace trimmed parasols that ranged in price $1o, $6.75, $6, $5, all ruthlessly put down to $2.5O: a lot of black satin, lined parasols that were $4 made $2.5O: some handsome rich brocades from SIP and $1o to $6.OO: a few fancy styles that we should dis like very much to have left we have actually put down from $o to $3.OO! A few beautiful white satin $5 shades reduced to $2.5O. Now we have not many of any one of the above, (although taken altogether there are more than we like, so you must not blame us if some are sold out before you come. If you come on Monday we shall be able to show you every item as advertised, (and many more like them, but we cannot un- dertake that they will all hold out to the end of the week. We hope not. Our purpose in making such sacrifices is to get rid of the goods quickly.
 PURSES-We mention these, not because we have re- duced them, but because we have just got in large invoice of very nice new goods-in Nor occo, calf, grained leather, imi- 1 tation seal and alligator, Per sian calf, Russia, real seal, real alligator, and fancy leather. New bags and belts.
