FAIR FOR HIS SAKE.

Fair for his sake who thinks me fair,
Fair for none other can I be,
Ali what new change shall fairness wear
That his sweet eyes be pleased of me?
How vain in love seem to grow!
No matter; love will have it SO.
Far but for him who finds me fair:
Ana faircr still these flowers shall make
tangle round my brow and hair
While southernwood their doors break
HOW very, very vain growi
No matter; love will have it SO.
Fair but for him who thinks me fair;
These golden arts now amass
On throat and arm shall make more rare
The sight of me. O regal glass,
If words were thine what words would low!
No matter; love will have il so.
He comes All! viii he find me fair.
And shall find him grown more fond:

Your simple smile is far beyond
. jealousy Well, thers they go
What matter; he will have ii So

TELL IoUn MoTuEu.--L wonder how
many girls tell their mothers everything.
Not those young ladies who, going to and
from school, smile, bow, and exchange
notes and carte dc uisHes with young men,
who make fun o, you and your pictures,
speaking in a way that would make your
cheeks burn with shame if you beard it.
All this, most incredulous aud romantic
young ladies, they will do, although they
look at your fresh young faces admiringy.
and send or give you charming verses or
bouquets. No matter what other girls
may do don't you do it. Schoolgirl fir

should be your best friend and confident,
all you think and feel. 1t is very strange
tha: so many young gi,ls will tell every
person before mother that which is most
important she should know. 1t is very sad
that Indifferent persons should know more
about her fair young daughter than her

WANTED.-A BIG DIAMOND.
Nothing Has Vet Been Heard of the
Thieves.

The identity of the three thieves who
made such a successful haul on ElliOt's
jewelry store Wednesday evening remains
as much mystery as ever, and speculation
concerning them is varied. Some think
the men are experienced burglars who have
made this kind of robbery practice, while
others claim that the job was the work of
nOviceS. as men of experience would have
taken the smaller diamonds instead of the
big one. All the officers within 200 miles
have been notified, and close watch is
being kept on all the roads leading from
the city. 1t was stated last evening that
the team had been procured at Ensign's
stable, on Fourth street. In the early part
of the evening man had taken out the
team for the ostensible purpose of giving
two young ladies a ride. About 1890
o'clock the same man returned with the
team, perspiring very freely, aud said that
he was very sorry he had driven so fast.
He paid his bill and departed as soon as
possible. At this time the men in the stable
had heard nothing of the robbery. and so
thought nothing of the horses being wet.
The police are inclined to thing that had
this man been arrested they would have
held the key of the whole matter. All day
yesterday curious crowds gathered in front
of the jewelry store and told what they
would have done had they been present
when the robbery was committed. The
big diamond was owned by Lesser Frank
lin and the value is placed at 50, 600 in
stead of 81 600.

CAUGHT In THE ACT.
Mysterious woman and Child
Arrested while shop Lifting.

Shortly before closing last night. one of
the floor walkers in Sea, Curtis & Co. s
store noticed an elderly woman. accom-
panied by girl, perhaps 10 years of age,
acting in very suspicious manner. OBJ
serving them carefully, he saw the woman
slip lot of small fancy goods into her
pocket, while the child attracted the atten-
ton of the clerk to a different part of the
counter. Approaching the woman he
asked her what she had put i'll her pocket.
She replied that she had taken nothing,
and started to leave the store. Officer
Tom CorrenS was called and then the
woman broke down and confessed that
she had appropriated lot of goods
and offered to return them or pay for them.
This the manager of the store would not
listen TO. and the woman and her daughter
were escorted to the Central station and
placed behind the bars. Here she refused
to give her name. and would only say that
she lived on Sixth street. where she kept
boarders and maintained blind husband.
She was evidently German, and when
placed in the station began to cry and
moan. Upon an officer offering to go to
her home and inform them of her plight.
she protested vehemently, in which she
was seconded by the child, which appeared
wise beyond its years. 1t is believed that
the woman is an old hand at the business
and that the child is her accomplice.

AN EXCELLENT EXHIBIT.
The school of Fine Arts Displays
the work of Its Pupils.


The exhibit of drawings at the Mime
apolis School OF Fine Arts held yesterday
afternoon was alike creditable to the di-
rector, Douglas Volk, and to his pupils.
The work shown was almost all charcoal
drawings. These were made in all cases
from casts or life-no copying of other
pictures being permitted in the school.
Mr.. Volk is determined to start his pupils
in the right way. With the spirit of a true
artist, he has no patience with the shiftleSS-
ness that attempts to cover defects in
drawing with pretty combination OF
color, so he insists on thoroughly ground
ing his students in the fundamental priEci-
pie of the painters art, which undoubtedly
is CAREFUL accurate drawing, not only as to
outline, but in reference to light and
shade as well. To secure this founda-
tion, the pupils of the art
school have been drawing from casts during
the past term, and the exhibit yesterday
showed good degree of success generally,
while few pictures are worthy of great
praise. A baS- relief, by Miss Norris, is the
best thing shown, and indicates ali excel
lent knowledge of art principles. as well as
an unusual degree of manual skill. Miss
Walker shows the head of little colOred
SlIAa SllC las hdpph1 viz
Gus look in the eyes, and has made very
animated picture. A newsbOy's head,
drawn by Mr.. EgglestOn, is one of the
more prominent pictures. Besides these
there are dozen others that show they
have been made intelligently, and by per-
sons who were not merely copying. Draw
ing from the cast compels the student to
bring out, from his own knowledge OF
methods, the light and shade which are the
all in all of black and white work. Where
the student copies from other pictures. imi-
tatiOn is the only necessary fac
ulty, and it does not and can
not give the worker anything
more than superficial idea of the real art
he is attempting. Drawing. as taught in
the art school, can be applied IN all paint
ing, landscape as we'll as portrait, and
hence it is made the prominent feature. A
class of beginners in still life painting
shows several studies, that of Mr.. Eggle-
ston. studio table, with palette, paint
dish, tubes and bottle, being by far the best
work. The gentleman evidently has great
natural talent, and if the genius of hard
work accompanies it, he will become eel
ebrated artist. Mr.. Volk and the Society
of Fine Arts, under whose auspices the
school is conducted, have every reason to
congratulate themselves on the work thus
far accomplished, and the city may well be
proud of so useful an institution as its
School of Fine Arts.

The Recount wipes Out Gross Ma.
JOrity--The End Not Yet.
The recount of the votes cast in the
Third and Fourth wards for representative
to the legislature from the Thirtieth district
was resumed yesterday morning before Sc
lab Mathews at the city hall and concluded
by evening. The result as compared with
the official returns shows gain for Merrill
of u, and losses for Snider of IS and for
Gross of A. This shows Gross loss to be
% votes in excess of Snider's and wipes out
the plurality of II votes given him by the
returns and gives Snider plurality Of 9
votes. The recount, if correct, reveals er-
Tors in the returns of nearly every precinct
and surprising carelessness in the part of
voters. as enough Twenty-ninth district
ballots were voted (nearly 300) to have
changed the result considerably. The re-
count, of course, does not settle the contest
any further than it helps Snider in the
showing which he will present to the legis-
lature. Mr.. Gross yesterday intimated that
he would yet perhaps demand recount of
the country precincts. and this, if done.
may still put different face on the con-
test. The following tabular statement
shows the vote of each precinct in the two
wards as returned and re-cOunted:
