Brother Harrison, the revivalist, now
operating in this city, confesses that he
is well paid for his enthusiastic work
against Satan. ''My terms are 500 a
week and expenses" he said to reporter
of the Sun at the close of his sermon of
last Sunday afternoon. We presume
that this is the highest price ever paid to
any revivalisU from Whitfield to Moody.
but Brother Harrison insists that his
services are worth the money, and that
the churches by which he is employed
grow richer even while disbursing it.
Yet we still think that he might prop
erly reduce his terms for revival work
in a city as wicked as New York is.

The Famous French Artist Recently De-
Notwithstanding About BIS Life and
Career.
Alexandra Cabanel, the famous French
artist, is dead He was hardly less famous
as a teacher than as an artist His father
died when he was two years old and the
family was left IN poverty. From his
earliest years he was given to drawing and
painting. In 1915 at the age of twenty-five,
he won the grand prize of Rome by his pict-
ure of "Christ in the Pretorlum." Two pict-
ures exhibited in the salon of 1852, "The
Preaching of st. John the Baptist" and
1.-THE Death Of Moses" attracted great at
tention. His first picture, painted when he
was eighteen, was bought by his native city
of Montpelier. 1t represents Christ on the
Mount of Olives. The prize of Rome en-
titled him TO residence as a student in
Rome. While there he made great progress
in his art.
One of his most intimate friends at that
time was Mr.. Sartoris, the husband Of
Adelaide Kemble and the protector and
relative of Nellie Grant. His most impor
tant picture in this country is 1.-The Death
of Moses, " in the Cercoran gallery at
Washington He was most successful as
portrait painter and had the audacity TO
paint Napoleon III. in the dress Of every
day life, which greatly provoked the critics.
At the same time that this portrait was ex-
hibited in the salon one of his earliest
American portraits also attracted atten-
ton. The original OF this was the Countess
de Ganay, formerly Miss RIdgway, Of Phil
adelphia- These portraits won him the
medal of honor.
When the Empress Eugene fed from
Paris she carried with her the much
priced portrait Of the Emperor. Many Of
his pictures were bought by Americans,
among whom he was well appreciated. Dir.

1t is stated that \. VI. Streeter, the late
Union Labor candidate for president,
attended the conference of Prohibition
lists at Louisville last week and advocated
fusion of those two parties. He is
credited with saying that he believed the
majority of his people would accept
prohibition and most of the Prohibitions
lists would adopt the opinions of the
Union Labor men on the questions of
transportation, land ownership and cur
rency. The committee received Mr.
Streeter's proffer TO the executive COM
mittee for further consideration, which
means that such fusion will take place,
as far as the controlling spirits of the
two parties can effect it. The announce
ment does not occasion any SURPRISE,
however, as everybody knows that the
coterie of ambitious devotees who pose
before the public as leaders have moth
ing higher than personal ends TO serve.
consequently act under all circumstances
and on all occasions from policy. The
retrogression of their followings as to
members in the last national campaign
shows that there is nothing to fear, even
in combination of those factions. by
either of the prominent political parties
of the country.

Inaugural March.

New York World.
The Grand Inaugural March," which
will be played as General Harrison rides
up Pennsylvania to the capitol on March
4, was composed in honor of his grand
father by Miss Susanna Warfield, of
Sykeviile, Md, forty eight years ago.
Miss Warfeld is now ninety five years
old. Her march was played at the in
auguration of William Henry Harrison.
Miss Warfield is a composer, musician,
poet. writer of prose, and artist. She is
in good health for her age. In her youth
she was very beautiful and a great
society belle. She well remembers the
visit of Lafayette to Baltimore early in
the century. She is much pleased to
know that her Inaugural March" is to
be revived.

wire from New York, 103 miles distant,

not the first made, fully sustains the

1t is rather an astonishing fact that
California is almost the geographical
center of the United States. The most
easterly point is Quaddy Head, Maine,
which lies in CO west longitude, and the
extreme western point is one of the
Aleutian islands. lying IN 1879 east longi-
tude. The midway point between these
extremes is 1872 east longitude, and San
Francisco, being in 1922 east longitude, is
just 210 miles east of the geographical
center Of the country. Nevertheless,
such bounding of the country limits
places the United States proper wholly
on the eastern half of itself, the geo.
graphical center of which is a point
about seventy-five miles north and little
east of this city, in this state.
