An Account of How It Broke Up a
Painting Glass.
Frons the Net0 York Times
10, Fanny, how's the painting class
getting on, and are you as much In love
with your teacher as you were when saw
you lastG"
This question was put by one young
woman TO another. The two had met for
the first time in several months, aud as
they rode downtown in one Of Mr.. Gould's
trains they were talking, as the phrase runs,
"about persons and things" Suddenly
came the question about the painting class.
Fanny giggled minute before answering
1t, and her friend giggled with her through
sympathy and doubtless in anticipation
that something funny was coming.
ats all over, Edith" Fanny said, at
last, "the class, the man worship-eg very
thing. Our teacher was Prof. c., and the
GLASS was very select one. We had paint
ed dog. mouse, and a cat, and at last we
had started in on a parrot. We had had
four lessons with the parrot before the
smash-up came.
"roo dull, too dull,' Mr.. Professor kept
saying to US. Nobody ever saw a parrots
feathers look like that. / want a brighter
green-something with life in it.
well, my cousin Helen, who is, as you
know, pretty lively young woman, made
up her mind that she would play little
| joke on the professor. So she went 70 the
parrots cage and helped herself to quanti-
ty of feathers and stuck them on to the can
vas. Then she sat down and waited for the
| professor to come. We were all there, the
whole ten OF US. each one at her easel, ap-
| parently absorbed in her work.
Good morning, young ladies', said Mr..
| Professor, as he entered the room. I trust
that some of you can show me a beautiful,
| bright parrot green to-day
I'VE all laughed innocent girlish laughs
| at this remark and went on with our paint
ing. none Of US saying anything in reply.
Glad TO see you 80 industrious to-day,
| young ladies, said the professor.
"Then he started TO look at our easels
4 He passed slowly from one to another,
shaking his head and frowning as he went
| along. Suddenly he caught sight of Helen's
work. A look Of incredulity came into his
eyes. 1t probably seemed queer that she
| alone out OF all in the class should have
caught the parrot color perfectly-Helen,
the worst dauber in the lot But pleasure
| chased incredulity away, and speaking un-
| der its impulse, the professor broke out in ex-
CARNATIONS.
"Charmin!g he cried That's the real

bat really excellent. congratulate you
Miss Schermerhorn, upon your success
HE moved up closer to get better view.

without as much as saying boo"
Hasn't he ever come back, Fannyfn in-
quired Edith.
mot bit of it. It's all over between
him and u.s."
Then Fanny looked at Edith, and Edith
looked at Fanny, and then the two giggled
again.
"What ridiculous things men are" re-
marked Edith when she had quieted down
YES" assented Fanny, 'and artists more
than ali the rest"

WOMEN PROPOSE

In Novels 1t Is Done With Tears, But
Not Always so in Real Life.
From the Neag York Euenin1 Sun.
February of this leap year is gone. but
there are almost ten months left in which
for women to exercise their undoubted priv
llege. Practically women propose to men
much more often than is believed, and
curiously the recorded INSTANCES, and they
are not few, show that ladies exercise the
privilege without reference to leap year.
The ideal relation between man aud
woman is when Atalanta runs and Hippo
menes pursues. But Atalanta is SO encum-
bered with garments that she can no longer
run. Her change Ia costume illustrates the
network OF restraining customs with which
civilization has entangled her movements.
The dear girl can now only linger about
and use the signals left her, her coquetry
and her tears, and il now and then she
solves the situation more summarily it is
not surprising. This she does in her own
way.

Courtship,n woos mister" Bertrarn with

her worldly goods not in phrase, but In
fact. Elaiue's wooing of Launcelot, the
most determined advocate of women's
rights would agree, goes too far. Elaine in
deed is as forward a young woman as Is
produced in either literature or life. The
advantages Of a delicate constitution are
seen in the immunity accorded to her con-
| duct.
But it is not alone the poets who record
the proposals made by women to men.
Lady Castewood virtually proposed to
Henry Esmond, falling on her knees in an
appropriate manner, with burning words.

VALDosTA, GA, March S0.-The first
conflict between the Democratic party and
the third party in the state occurred here
to-day in the election of an ordinary to I'LL
the unexpired term of Judge Stephens,
deceased, and resulted In a Waterloo
for the third party. Their candidate, the
Rev. W. A. Pardee, was beaten by David
ID. Smith, the democratic candidate. by 40O
majority in the county. This virtually
strangles the third party in the cradle and
proves that Lowndes county's democracy is
on a rock foundation and cannot be shaken
from her moorings. The democrats of the
county are organizing themselves into a
club. and no man or measure not thorough

PEACE IN BERING SEA.
LORD sALIsBURY's OFFER TO BE
ACCEPTED.


Blaine Resumes Ofac;el Duties aud
WIN Conduct All Further Negotis-
tions on Behalf of the United States
Certain Restrictions to be Demanded
Before Final Acceptance Of England's
Oner.
WASHINGTON, March 80. - Secretary
Blaine has resumed the discharge Of official
duties and will conduct all further nego-
tiAtions on behalf of this government in the
Bering sea matter. Gen. J. w. Foster
will continue, however, to assist
in the conduct of these negotiations, as well
as others affecting the commercial interests
of the United States. The two gentlemen
named had a conference with the President
this morning in regard to the details Of the
reply 10 be made to Lord Salisbury's note OF
March 26. agreeing to renewal OF last
years modus vfvendi under certain condi-
tions respecting indemnity. As has
been already stated, this government
has practically decided to accept these con-
ditions with certain restrictions. and it Is
understood that the letter prepared by Sec
retarY Blaine was accepted at a conference
this morning as defining the position OF this
government on the subject. These views
will probably be communicated TO Sir
Julian Pauncefote tomorrow, and, as they
tion of Lord Salisbury. 1t is expected that
an agreement on that point will be reached
In a short time.
1t is said that no further action will be
taken IN regard TO the arbitration treaty un-
ill the arrangements for the modus have
been completed. The British minister has
been officially informed OF the ratification
OF the treaty and has undoubtedly commu-
picsted the fact to the home government.
In the meantime Gen. Foster and his as
sistants are busily engaged in the prelimi-
uaryapreparations of the case Of the United
States for submission to the areitrators.
The personnel of that tribunal will not be
announced for several weeks.
It is settled, however, that Gen. Foster
pvill be the agent and Judge E. ]. Phelps of
Vermont, the leading counsel In behalf OF
the United States. There will be other
counsel, but they have not as yet been
selected. Ex-senator Spooner Of Wiscon-
sin will probably be invited to act In that
capacity. It is stated on authority that
she two arbitrators on behalf Of the United
States have not yet been chosen.
The report that Austria or some other
country had been substituted for Italy as
one of the neutral countries 10 nominate an
arbitrator is officially denied.
CLAIMS OF sEALERs.
OTTAWA, ONT, March 30.-Between
thirty and forty claims Of the British
Columbia sealers for damages, aggregating
$500, 900, have been for warded TO the de-
partment Of marine at Ottawa in compli-
nnce with proclamation requesting claims
for compensation for loss oocasioned by the
expulsion of sealers from Bering sea under

CERARASoEs SUSPENDED.
OTrAwA, March 30-The collector Of
customs at Victoria, B. c., has been notified
by telegraph from here not TO allow any
more clearances to vessels going to Bering
sea- This Is taken as an indication that an
agreement has been reached between Lord
Salisbury and Secretary Blaine for revi-
val OF the sealing modus vivendi.

Guards and large delegation Of citizens
and old veterans. who gave him a cordial
greeting. He is the guest of Col. John P.
