THE REALMS OF ART.
Some Fine Canvases Exposed Last Evening at
the Hotel Cullen.

An exhibit of the works of foreign
artist naturally attracts the connoiseurs of
art as well as the purchasers, the latter
never losing an opportunity Of adding to
their collections some new canvas.

Munich, Bavaria, exposed number of his
landscape paintings at the hotel Cullen to

gland, Scotland, Italy, Austria, Switzer
land, Bavaria, Prussia, the Tyrol, the
Rhine, Holland and few American scenes.
The first canvas exposed was "Loch

Scotland. The tone of this painting is
marked by quietness and rest, the coloring
being much more sombre than in the other
works, whore warmth and yigor Of treat

Fatal Effects of the Late Shoot

Malice, With no Feeling Of
Regret.

R1oHFIELD, Utah, March 23.-TSpeclal
telegram to THE HERALD. IL. G. Palmer
died last evening about :35 from the effects
of his wounds, and at an investigation held
today the fact was developed that McPher-
son shot Palmer with 44-calibre Colts
pistol after very few words. AS McPher-
son drew his pistol, Palmer started to run
to the house, and Mcpherson followed and
shot twice, only one ball taking effect, that
entering just below the shoulder blade and
coming out just below the point OF the
breast bone. 1t appears that the shooting
was premeditated and was a deliberate
murder. Mcpherson claims that some one
in Manti had said he would help him out if
he (McPherson) would kill Palmer. Nc
Pherson seems full of malice and revenge
and shows no feeling Of regret.

TOO MUCH SIN.
Was this the Cause of the Floor
Giving Way?
A Catastrophe Narrowly Averted at ST Paul's
on Sunday Evening Lane Will
Try Again.

AS the newspapers had been giving MIR.
Lane notices of his sermon for the benefit
of the newspaper men, a large crowd was
at st. Paul's Sunday evening. The news
paper contingent occupied the four front
benches on the right side of the church
Before 7:30 the benches were all filed and
standing room was at premium. In fact
many people were turned away, and these
warned many others who intended going
that there was no more room. The first
and second verses Of hymn had Just been
sung by the congregation standing when q
report like the concerted stamp of hun
dred feet was heard. The surprised people
looked up only to see that the floor in the
building had settled about four feet, and
that the benches were making frantic en-
deayors to stand on end. The ladies and
some mon in the hall Immediately became
panic stricken, and it looked for moment
as though there was going to be rush for
the door. The catastrophe, however.
was happily avoided by the presence
of mind of Bishop Leonard, Mr.. Lane and
some of the newspaper contingent. who
succeeded in calming the terrified women.
When this was done the people were asked
to be seated the announcement being made
that the floor had settled on the ground and
that there was no more danger. The
choir then continued singing the hymn
which had been interrupted, after which
Bishop Leonard announced that services
could not be continued, and asked that
those who were seated would remain in their
seats until those who were standing had
made their exit, After those who were
standing had left, the church was emptled
one seat at a time. Mr.. Lane gives the
explanation that the load of sin contained
in the newspaper men was too much for
the church to stand
The real cause was spliced girder run
ming across the hall and supporting the
floor had given way at the splice and had
let the floor sink.
The injury will be repaired in few days
and Mr.. Lane will deliver his sermon fol-
the newspaper men next Sunday. The
| newspaper men are not at all dismayed, but
will attend the church until they hear the
sermon, if the roof falls in.

Tin Tries to Kill His Keener.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Tip, the elephant
presented by Forepaugh to Central Park
managerie, came near adding another vic
tim to-day to his record of eight keepers
already killed. He got on the rampage this
morning, broke his chain, and when
Keeper Snyder entered his en-
closure, was charging at the wooden
wall that kept him from rival.
Tom Snyder went to quiet him, but Tip
turned on him, seizlng him with his trunk
and thrust at him thrice with his tusks
Fortunately his tusks had been cut off SO
that he could do little damage, and Snyder
was not much hurt by this. The elephant
finally threw him violently to the floor out
side of the partition, rendering Snyder un-
conscious. The brute tried to get at him
but was prevented by the Partition, and
Policeman Murphy, at the risk Of his own
life, rushed in and pulled Snyder out. He
is not very badly hurt.

The WORLDS Fair Commission Meetings.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The question
was recently presented to the treasury de-

amount remaining of the appropriation for
the use of the Worlds Columbian commits
sion prior to July next, the commission
would be warranted in mourning this eX-
pepse af meeting again April next as pro-
vided In the bylaws. Revision of the es-
Inmates at the treasury department leads
to the conclusion that the meeting need not
be omitted for pecuniary reasons. Score
tary Foster to-day telegraphed the secre-
tary of the Worlds Columbian exposition
as follows: 1.-THE committee adjourned
November 90, 1899, to meet the first
Wednesday in April. 1t is believed no OBJ
stacle exists to prevent such meeting, es-
pecially in view of the fact that the COM

possible to pay all necessary expenses out

WASHINGTON, March 23.-In the court of
claims to-day an order was issued for the
clerk of the court to certify to the treasury
department the validity of certain French
spoliation claims, for the payment of which
an appropriation of more than million

set for its completion was May 1, and con-
sidering the extent of the undertaking, the
difficulty of getting materials at point so
far distant from the sources of supply, the
running of the building of the Knutsford

one in which Mr.. Benson and his contrac-
tors, Rocheheld, Gould & GLADDEN., can
