what an American student Saw OF
iI..Mr. FIagg,s Lecture at Y. WI. G..
A. Hall.
Certainly after nine years art study in
France Charles Noel Flagg should know
something of French art, and the fine audi
ence that packed Y M. G. A. hall last
night seemed to think he does by the way
il punctuated his points with applause
and laughter. Mr.. Flagg is a story
teller of natures own appointment,
and he told many good ones, from the
opening alusion to the EngiShman'S haStY
generalization that all French girls were
red headed because the first one he saw had
red hair. through to the cOnvulsing account
of the man who refused to sit by woman
whose dress was SOiled until he found she
was Rosa BOnheur. Speaking of English
| men. he was particularly severe upon
English art, claiming that the only true
artists in England were not truely English,
as for example, Alma Tadema and our
own white-topped Whistler. He was also
decidedly caustic in his illusions to the
plaque painting pretenders to art. and paid
his compliments to those who paint pOr-
traits from photographs in way that must
have made any such present squirln. lie
does not believe that art can be learned from
books, anent which was all anecdote abOuta
brisk young American who proposed to go
to Bongereau and say. here's $500; now
show me the trick" Mr.. Flagg does not
think 1.-The trick" can be learned except by
laborious years spent in drawing from the
antique Painting comes by nature. but
the ability to see and reproduce form is a
matter of hard work, truly life-work in
its higher aspect. In this con-
nection he paid high tribute
to the art school now in charge
of his friend Douglas VoIk at
Minneapolis. The Bohemian side of art
life in Paris. the flowing bowl and fragrant
weed of good fellowship, among its great
est masters and freshest novces, was per-
haps not exactly Y. M. G. A. notion Of
education. but the beautiful eulogy on
Bohemia, which he quoted from Walack's
last play, Harvest" and with which he
concluded his talk. must have convinced all
that Bohemia is not so black as it has been
painted. Mr.. Flagg was heartily cOngrat-
uIated by many of those present.

"A Negro E4YncEled.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, Dec. 2.-Early
yesterday morning party of masked men
surrounded the Jail at Monticello, the
county seat of Drew county, and demanded
from the jailer the surrender of Brick
Hunter, celored. who was charged with
assault with intent to kill two respected
citizens of that county. Finding that re-
sistance would be worse than useless the
jailer surrendered the key to the cell in
which the man was confined, and the mob
seized Hunter, placed rope around his
neck and led him out into the suburbs of
the town and strung him up to a limb. To
make sure work of it. they then emptied
their shot guns into the suspended body.
They dispersed so quietly that very few of
the citizens of the town knew that the
lynching had been done until daylight.
when Hunters body was found where the
mob had left it.

BURLINGTON, VT, Dec. 2.-The hearing
in the SaXt0n- Mason case was resumed
to-day and Miss SaXton was placed on the
stand. She testified that she was II years
old. Mason began to let her have money
in the fall of 1880. She was between II
and 13 years old when Mason seduced her.
He began by giving her 50 and
then $50 after their first illicit meet
ing. He subsequently gave her at
different times about S700. Mason had
given her money several times concealed in
fruit. His sisters had seen various sum S
of money given her by Mason. She saw
him sometimes twice a day and drove to
his home as often As four times a week.
On cross examination witness admitted she
was confined at WillsbOro several months
ago; that the child was
DEAD WHEN BORN,
and that she took the remains in box
to Jersey City, where they were buried.
This was the trouble referred to in her
letter asking Mason for money. The
states attorney submitted letter from the
witness to Mason. dated Aug. 4, which
inclOSed q letter which she said she would
send to bis wife next day, if she did not
hear from him. The letter stated she had
a child from Mason. and asked Mis- Mason
to pity her. as she was an ignorant girl
before her husband ruined her. Witness
stated that when Mason received copy OF
the letter which she had threatened to send
to his wife he gave her an order to go to the
bank and draw the money. She did not
tell him how much she wanted,
because he had told her to draw as
much as she wanted. She told
of trip to Boston with Mason in sleep
ing car. she occupying lower berth, and
said she had made similar trip to Boston
since. but not with Mason. She told of
different meetings. which she said began in
1881 and continued several years. during
which time Mason gave her money i'll sums
from 81 to $500. About Thanksgiving,
1855. she got into trouble and Mason gave
her medicine to take and $500. In January
last she again got into trouble, and went to
WillsbOr0 A pril 1.where she remained until
the birth of the child in August. At this
point court adjourned uutil tomorrow.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-The excite
ment which prevailed to-day in mining
shares has not been eQualed since 1878.
Old stock spectators who thought the glory
OF the Golden state had departed with the
new constitution braced up and looked on
with amazement at the crowds that beSeged
the brokers' offices. The fact that CONSOLE
dated Virginia had reached nearly fifty
seemed only to whet their appetite to get
more, anu when the more prudent ones told
them the tide was abou, to turn they only
laughed in their face .tid NO it's
good for a hundred the morning

highest price reached s.uce the big Sierra
Nevada deal. when it sold for an even 100.
Gould u Curry, not to be outdone, went to
1874, and then Consolidated Virginia, which
closed last night at 4915, opened at 50. At
this moment
EVERYTHING DOOMED,
and fortunes We're to be had for the asking
OF them. The session, however, Lad
hardly closed when news arrived from Vir-
glnia City that the FrankelS had gone up
for 81, 600, 900. This was Staggerer, aud
the WeakenerS sold off. Hardly had they
recovered from the blow when the an
nOuncement was made that IL. g. Hooker,
one OF the StauncheSt brokers of Pine street,
and a S0n-in-laW of Senator Stewart of
Nevada, had pulled down his blinds, with
liabilities running up into the hundreds of
thousands. Had this latter announcement
been quickly followed by another OF equally
grave character. the result would have
been general stampede all along the line,
bringing ruin to many. Fortunately
none took place, and those who
were playing for their all were
given few minutes breathing
time before the worst overlook them. Af-
ter these failures the board resolved to hold
no session at IL 80 o'clock, but to have the
next one at p. IN. This was to allow the
brokers to overhaul Their books and give
them chance to see where they stood.
When the second session opened CONSOLE
dated Virginia dropped TO AZ cents. The
news was quickly communicated to the
street and for the second time during the
day
SERIOUS PANIC
seemed imminent. The agony was rem
dered still more acute when the announce
ment went forth that Greenebaum q Strauss
had suspended for nearly 81, 600, 900. They
were correspondents of Franke of Virginia,
whose failure bad been announced in the
morning. When, on top of all this. it was
stated that other prominent spectators,
Il. Z. Morrow and Maurice Schmidt, had
failed. it was generally believed that the
beginning of the end had begun, and things
were by no means improved when it was
learned that Consolidated Virginia. after
rallying point, had closed at 40, the
lowest touched during the day. The state
ment that Morrow and Schmidt had failed
was denied. and as far as can be learned
the liabilities of each have been promptly
met.

beset with difficulties. 1t is not alone the
men who have always opposed and fought
him who are causing him the most trouble
now. 1t is the men in his own ranks who
have just cause to remember him. And
they are waiting for election day to make
their power of retaliation felt. 1 believe
it would be an easy matter to find 100 cases
in Albert Lea of people who have griev-
ances OF complaints against Lovely, ranging
in Importance from aggravated to trivial
in connection with his legal and private
methods, aud wholly aside from politics.
They will talk to one privately. but will
not consent to allow their names to be used
for publication. The ghost of Mr.. Lovely
always looms up. am sorry. but as re-
marked before that it was rot to the credit
of the people of Albert Lea that they should
be afraid of him, | think it well enough to
say, also, that it is not Dat all creditable to
Mr.. Lovely that his own neighbors should
feel this way toward him. Most men would
prefer to have their confidence and esteem.
1t Is not pleasant Ito most peOple) to be
known as bulldozer and tyrant. Men
who work themselves into such a position
sooner or later are made to feel the crush
ing force of public sentiment and Mr..
Lovely is soon to be taught lesson in this
respect.

EsEs Legal METHODS.
The Peculiar Manner in which

The Peculiar Manner in which
Lovely Has Dealt With Some of
Eais Clients.
By way of illustrating the somewhat Pc
culiar legal methods of Nh. Lovely-in
some very small cases-I will cite three in
stances. The facts were given me person
ally by the parties who had employed
Lovely as their attorney:
John Thoreson-who is universally
known as big John"-keeps a saloon here.
Formerly he was an ardent supporter and
admirer of Lovely. and intrusted all his
legal business to him. He relates story
that man who became boisterouS in his
place was ejected by the officers and his
arm injured. He brought suit against
Thoreson for damages and the latter secured
Lovely for his attorney. The case was
tried in the courts and Lovely afterward
sent in a bill of 800 for his services
Thoreson considered this eXorbtant and
offered S25, which he deemed sufficient
Lovely declined such a settlement and
Thoreson went away. Pretty soon papers
were fled on him, and he found that
Lovely had begun
SUIT FOR $3.50
for his services in that case. Thoreson had
some difficulty, but finally compromised by
paving $780, What was this?
B. b. Fixon is a furniture dealer here,
and his wife is a noted temperance lee
turess. Mr.. FXon relates one of his
experiences with Lovely: He had sold a
lot of furnishings to man named Max
we'll. who kept a saloon, and there was a
certain amount due on the purchase. One
day he learned that Maxwell had sold out
and was preparing to leave town. He
went down and found stranger in the
house. He at ence got out a writ of replevin.
Mr.. Fixon says he had before been in court
when Lovely was opposed TO him, and he
had heard q great deal of the latter's
facilities for securing juries which would
bring in verdict for his Client so he
rushed off to Lovely's honse and told him
he had replevined some goods. and that if
the case came up i'll court he would want
him as his attorney. Lovely said all right.
and he went away. The matter was
finally adjusted without being brought be-
fore the courts. SOIae time after this
Lovely came into Fixon's store and wanted
to know the amount OF his account.
(Fixsn says he was very much astoHished).
A bill was made out and presented to Lovely,
for some S1S. Lovely then said
to Ftxon: "You know have little bill
against you." How much is it?" asked
Fjxen. Five dollars" responded Lovely.

very effectually exploded. The serious
character of the disaffection in the Repub-
lican ranks and the outSpoken opposition to
Lovely, is most thoroughly illustrated by
the fact that thirteen of the Republican
papers of the district are openly opposing
his election and have denounced the meth
DDS by which he secured his nomi-
nation and INDUCED in bitter reaee-
tons upon his character and stand
ing. The canvass is, in short, a
very One-sided one. and there can be but little
doubt that the people will choose the man
who combines all the essential qualifications
of an efficient able and honest representa-
tive. There is everything to be said in
Judge Wilson's favor and very little against
him; there is everything to be said against
Mr.. Lovely and very little in his favor. So.
if Mr. Lovely is caught in cyclone in
November and destroyed, his friends can
not claim that fair warning had not been
given him.
