HIeissonier's Posthumous Works

1t is not known yet what will be done
with all the unfinished pictures left in
Meissonier's studios. They represent a
fortune, for many of them, which were
condemned by the fastidious taste of the
painter himself, will soon beip the hands
of the dealers and heralded as master
pieces. Most of the sketches and mere
studies, one need not doubt, will turn
out full fledged paintings by the time
they reach the amateur. One can but
remember what happened after Dau-
blgny's death and after Millet's death.
Each had a son who painted. and
much Of the WORK of those sons is dearly
cherished today in hundreds of cabinets
in America and elsewhere as that of the
illustrious fathers The posthumous
paintings of Meissonier will probably be
numerous, but it is only right to add
that the high character of Mr.. Charles
Meissonier may be considered a guaran-
tee, so far as his personal influence can
go, for the integrity of the artistic re-
mains Of his distinguished father.-Art

Had to Change His PRAYER.

Chaplain Waldron, of the Massachu-
sets House, who as the occupant of that
place for the last thirteen years has
given universal satisfaction, was mildly
demonstrated with the other day because
of certain petition in his morning
prayer. He had asked the Lord to help
his servants redeem the time, enabling
them to do two days work where they
had done only one before, and to strike
two blows in the place of one. Soon
afterward he was buttonholed by one of
the solons, who said, ''See here, chap
lain, that kind of prayer won't go down
here, with all these labor reformers clam
oring for shorter days and less work. +"
The minister took his rebuke with his
characteristic meekness, and did not
even intimate that the persons whom he
had especially in mind were the dilly-
dallying lawmakers themselves.-Con-
gregationalist.

Claims of Indiana Citizens.

Indiana promises to become a very
wealthy state. A few days ago a dis
patch stated that woman living near
Martinsville had information from her
attorneys that she was entitled to two
thirds of the entire property claimed by
the Jams heirs. Now comes the inter
estlng announcement that Mr. Mark
Brown, farmer residing near Ander-
son, has been discovered to be one Oh
the rightful owners Of ninety acres of
LAND IN the heart of New York city, en-
tirely separate and distinct from the
Anneke Jams claim. He and the other
heirs are going to Organize" to press
their claim. When all of these heirs
come into their property Indiana will be

Fun with Loaded Matches

One of the latest novelties is the loaded
match. 1t is, to all appearances, one of
the common, innocent looking redhead
affairs, but there is a surprise and scare
in every one of them.
If your friend wants to light cigar
hand him over one of these trick
matches. 1t is lighted in the usual way,
but just as it is fairly afame and the VIC
tim is about to apply it to his weed it
gives out a loud report and the light is ex.
tinguished, much to the chagrin and as.
constituent of your friend.
This defamation, which is about as
loud as that produced by the explosion
OF firecracker, is caused by the flame
coming in contact with some explosive
substance, probably illuminate, which has
been deity smeared on one side of the
stick.-NeWYork Herald.

Our Spring Times.

When spring comes to seek her own
Do they all rise at her words2
IL the little fledgeling's tone
Sweet as was the parent birds?
When once more the streamlets roam
Do the robins all come home?
Here's nest upon the bough,
But there comes no bird to claim;
Has she made new nest now?
If from some far land we came
We should all the home nest know,
Even were it filed with snow,
There are blue eyes that we miss
In the flush of violet time:
Something lacking in the bliss
Of the bird bells sweetest chime;
In the heart are many spots
Sacred TO forget-me-nots.
If perchance youth cometh back
Through some treasure on your knee,
Still the heart will prove lack,
Lovely though the child may be;
For if it so needeth you.
You still need your mother too.
Sometime will the far off springs
Come back with these later ones;
There will be no missing wings,
There viii be no missing tones
All the joys, but dearer grown,
Or the spring times we have known.

six holes and fired by electricity. A
ledge of rocks was dislodged, and hun

''Inbreeding" in the SCHOOLS.

The tendency IN many cities and towns
to the system of ''inbreeding" in the
selection of teachers is one that needs
careful watching. On the plan of pro-
lection to home industries some boards
of education have such regulations as
practically debar teachers of high pro-
fesSional skill from entering their serv-
ice. This ''inbreeding" has in some
places got so close that school trustees
prefer to appoint to vacancy only such
teachers as have been graduated from
the school or live in the ward. Indeed,
to have been graduated from a particu-
lar school is a peculiar merit, very help
full toward getting an appointment.
Mr.. A. w. Edison, agent of the Massa-
chusetts state board of education, in his
report to the state superintendent, con-
demned the practice very strongly, as
the following quotation shows: Zone of
the dlscouraging features, and a great
drawback to the best of work, is the
custom too rigidly followed of utilizing
nome talent for teachers. To be sure
many of our best teachers live in the
towns or cities where they teach, but
the policy that gives the girls at home a
monopoly of the schools, and ignores
competition from outside, is bad, even
vicious. 1t discourges thorough scholar
ship and professional training, tends to
1aVortlsm and low wages and prevents
the discharge of poor teachers.
III teacher can obtain a position
through political or personal influence,
rather than professional ability, she can
retain it IN spite of poor work. Too Of
ten 1t would appear that the schools are
Tor the teachers, not the teachers for the
schools. When a superintendent or com
mlttee feels that public sentiment will

audiences. The former, she says, are much
quicker to appreciate those delicate touches
which a conscientious actor always puts in
his work, and are franker in their express
sions of opinions of plays and players. She
says the greatest faults OF the drama in
America come from the lack of skillful
stage management and good schools of in
struction.
An actor, she says, is unlikely to get in
AN entire career on the American stage as
thorough a knowledge of stagecraft as
might be obtained by few years expe-
rience in European theaters. Actors and
critics are alike slipshod in Yankeeland.
Richard Mansfield is the best American
stage manager she has ever seen. Of his
merit she is qualified to judge, for she was

A HARD WORKING ACTRESS.
May Brooklyn, Whose Efforts in ''The
| Pharisee'' Command Attention.

May Brooklyn, who jumped into promi-
nence the other day through her work as
Kate Landon in 1.-THE Pharisee," is a de-
cidedly pretty actress, of medium height,
blonde and very English. The latter is
quite excusable, for she was born and, I'M
til seven years ago, lived in the land of
roast beef and the queen. Her first ap-
pearance on the stage was at the Comedy
theater in London, and since the curtain
rose that night she has played all sorts of
parts, from pantomime, burlesque and
farce to those of the legitimate drama.
Her little fiat on Fifty-frst street in New
York is as cozy home as one often sees.
Its walls and the shelves of the cabinets
standing about are covered with leaves
from her history in articles quaint and
curious picked up during her extensive
travels. In the pretty parlor CRATE fire
always burns. if there is any excuse what
ever for it.
Miss Brooklyn is a close student of the
drama, and fond of advancing somewhat
complicated theories on nearly everything
connected with it. She draws a strong
contrast between English and American

Cold Winters and the salmon Catch.

A Waldo county fisherman says that

he says that when we have an open win

the rivers before the season opens,
making poor fishing for them along the
coast. In a cold winter the salmon 90

back. That gives the coast fishermen a
chance to catch the beauties before they
get up river.-LewistCA Journal.

Fellow Democrats:
"a condition confronts us not theory"
Such condition thai brings Democrats to-
gether to meet the common enemy. Upon
our shoulders depends the propagation of
freedom of speech, of religious privilege,
OF wholesome economical laws, free un-
trammelled ballot and a strict patriotic
sentiment We are not here 20 discuss the
past history Of Utah, not here to discuss
present environments of an honest
Well-meaning municipal government,
but rather to accept all as history
and look to the future of this great terri
tory and its interests. From the very
foundation of this great republic we find
that parties come and parties go, but the
good old Democratic party stands as the
rock OF Gibraltar, upon which rests the
comfort OF the American home. 1t is ira
ditional in American history that local in
terests at times bring forth local party or
CARNATIONS, but when the mist clears, when
self-interests and petty grievances are sub
dued by good Judgment and honest i'm
pulses, they sink into oblivion as does snow
! under the rays of summer sky. The
Democratic party stands as the good mother
OF peace and virtue to welcome all good
citizens to its ranks. l am honest in the
belief that the time has arrived when di-
vision upon party lines should be brought
about. We as Democrats must not lose
sight OF the fact that great work is in
store for US. A campaign of education-of
reasoning with pure, unselfsh Democratic
ideas should be presented to this public
with all the force and vigor we can WELD.
A strong party organization is now in order,
clubs should be formed throughout the ter
ritory and particularly throughout the city.
Over confidence has too often proven fatal
to Democratic success, and we must notlet
that prove stumbling block to victory.
Let every Democrat here tonight consider
it his patriotic duty thoroughly to
post himself upon the present situa-
ton, how it can be bettered by
