fled with the police commission law, but
on Monday night the Topeka council, by
formal resolution, denounced the I'M

the resolution passed:
Resolved, by the mayor and council
of the city OF Topeka, That we are in
favor of abolishing the metropolitan po-
lice system for the city of Topeka and
placing the same under the control and
power of the city government proper,
and thereby saving to the taxpayers of
our city considerable amount of money,

President AIcGrath says the Farmers

Of !, 900 members a month. The Topeka
journal says p. p. Elder smiles a broad
smile as he figures on the governorship
in 1892, on that basis. Unless Peter fig
ures a good deal more accurately on that
than he did on the senatorship, his smile
in '92 will be only another simple grin.

Mr.. Jeremiah Socrates Simpson, other

hotels as from Med Sin Loj, not because
he knows no better, but in order TO have
the newspapers make fun of him. Ridi-

other garments and wear a perennial

tee Of artists in New York from all sec
tions, and Of these only twenty were
deputized as representatives Of art in the
United States to the Royal Institute.
Three OF this number were the work Of
Jane Stevens.
One of these received diploma, and the
other il prize and diploma. The diploma
is 4 beautiful cngrossel parchment
bordered With scroll names Of Hogarth,
Reynolds, Turner, Cox, Constable and
Gainesborough, and signed by John
Everett Millais, G. II. Boughton, Marcus
Stone and Solomon ]. Solomon
There were fifty prizes of money, the
eighth Of which was awarded Miss Stevens.
The prize picture was large design Of
purple clematis, executed on deeper
purple velvet ground. 81 perfect u the
representation that the artists methods
are entirely concealed and the real clcmatis
itself is scarcely the better prototype. The
other work awarded the diploma was a
pair of door panels decorated with mn
original design from midsummer Nights
Dream.'
Miss Stevens is q very modest, retiring
little woman, and the incidents connected
with her career as IN artist and struggle
for recognition arc no less peculiar than
pathetic. Having spent the best years Of
ueT HE III 1lodulnS ONCE WORK IN one OF
the government departments at Washing
ton, it needed change Of administration to
throw her out of employment, and enforce
the necessity Of seeking substance in an.
other direction. This is the way her latent
genius was awakened, and it might prove
an impetus to obscure workers with tho
brush to know that a woman no longer
young could still win the international
honors accorded Miss Stevens
That q woman who knew no methods,
had never received I; lesson in art, nor the
encouragement that comes with tho asso-
citation of the artist world should gain
such recognition is but a clear demonstra-
tion of the genius of her soul. Miss Ste
vcns' work is bold ana unconventional, and
her most ple!tsurable line is tapestry paint
ing and wall paper designing. Although
self tAnght she Yields to that truest of
teachers nature, and insists she Knows
only what she observes and cannot tell
whence comes the faculty to reproduce

correctness and harmony with which she
represents flowers, landscape figures and
