THE ARTIST.

ARTISTS have not much TO be thankful
for this year" said Arthur Matthews to a
CALL reporter yesterday, "unless IL be that
they are glad they are alive.
ut has been very bad year for art, and
the masters of the brush and cbsel have
added nothing to the art treasures Of the
world. Everything right now seems to be
wrapped up IN the Worlds Fair, and the
management of that concern is doing things
in such miserable manner as 70 make an
artists life a burden.
"BGt," he went on, 1--WE should of course
feel thankful about everything, and 1 sup
pose we are about as blessed as the follow
ers of any other calling that has for its OBJ
iect the education of the public.
1.-THE art interest is undoubtedly growing
In different parts OF the country. and we
are now in better position to establish a
national school Of painting than we ever
were before.
"Yes, we have things to be thankful for
II we compare the art atmosphere of the
country with the way 1t was four years ago.
Then picture had to have Paris, or some
other art center of Europe. in the corner
before it would be looked at. aud an artist
had to send something TO the Salon each
year TO keep up his standing.
NOW, Nhle III is lar from peing as we
could wish it, 1t is greatly improved. and it
Is very little use to send a picture across
the Atlantic.
People are beginning TO learn to look at
picture for what 1t is worth and judge it
BY something else than the name that Is
signed to it.
''The art schools all over the country are
doing well. and have a fair number of prom.
ising students.
"Oh, we can find many things to be
thankful for If we only look for them. but ]
must say it has been bad year for arl.'

period OF dizziness and Inactivity. and by
next March and April expect business to
be brisk and active.
You must remember that dizziness In
business has not been confined to San Fran
cisco, but has been almost universal. Not
withstanding the dizziness / speak of there
has been large amount of business during
the year in the lumber and building trades,
as any one will admit who has seen the
large number of new structures erected in
the city during the last year.
you ask me If [ believe the Worlds Fair
will! have any effect on the condition of
business next year. / certainly believe it
will. as it will draw large number of
the business and wealthy men from SaE
Francisco, which will necessarily cause the
stoppage OF many projects on hand. Not
withstanding the fact. however, l believe
the new year will inaugurate a new era in
business. In spite Of business, you may
say, l will eat my Thanksgiving turkey with
a good deal of relish"

CAMINETTI REPLIES.
He Does Not Agree With the Sierra
Club Members.

Concerning the recent action of the Sierra
Club in denouncng his bill looking to the
curtailing of the Yosemite Reservation,
Congressman Caminetti is considerably
aroused and in speaking OF the matter in
his room at the Grand Hotel he said yester-
day: II am with all efforts looking to the
preservation of the forests and the water
shed. No member of the Sierra Club will

But here we have included an area larger
hv 1872 square miles than the State Of
Rhode Island. Ii comprises not only the
forests and watershed country of the
Sierras, with many picturesque valleys, but
a large mining district, with over 200 mines,
many OF which are now being worked. II
includes seventy-five or q hundred actual
farms, and these settlers can demand either
their land restored or its purchase by the
Government at price as fabulous as they
may demand. l would reduce the park area

BRITISH CRUISERS.
Several Large Ships Now on the Way
Here

The dispatch from Victoria published In
Yesterdays CALL to the effect that the Mel
pomene and Daphne OF the International
sealing squadron in Bering Sea have sailed
for this port has caused great interest on
tie water front. Quite number of war
vessels have been here during the year, but
these two are invested with special inter-
est from the fact that their captains and
crews have become quite we'll known to
our own naval officers during the joint
patrol Of Boring Sea.
The Melpomene is classed as sea-service.
deck-protected ship. She was built at
Portsmouth in 1888; Is of 1850 tons dis
placement. 265 feet long, AZ feet beam and
17.5 feet depth of hold. Her deck armor is
one and half inches thick and she mounts
six 6-inch breechloaders, ten Guick-firing
guns. Her horsepower is 5000 and her
speed is rated at 1917 knots, SO that as a
goer she vies with the San Francisco and
Baltimore.
The Daphne is sea-serviee, unprotected
ship of what is known as the composite
class. She was built at Shefrness in 1888;
is 1l4O ronstdisplacement. 1876 feet long. 80

The Warspite. which Is TO be replaced by

THE NEWSPAPER MAN.

What have newspaper men to be thank
full for? Well, | think they have many
things" replied Charles S. Dehl of the
Western Associated Press to the question
put by CALL reporter yesterday.
Newspaper men in California" he went
on to say, 'are blessed more than they
know. The style of work gives them
greater scope for their talents. and they are
allowed greater freedom than they are in
other places.

what we want Is energetic. pushing, de-
termfned business men, men who have en-
terprise and getup In them, who enlarge
and increase the scope Of their operations
In proportion to their means. and not only
increase the revenues Of trade and the prod
ucts Of the country. but who develop the
resources of the land and give additional
employment to surplus labor.
But though business be dull and trade
lax. there should be no gloom on Thanks
giving. 1t is day on which we. IL for
nothing else, should render thanks that we
live in and are citizens Of the United States.
That is a privilege for which we should
all be thankful"
