THE BOSTON ARTISTS.

They Are Seeking Recognition on the
Worlds Fair Art Committee. and Want
to Have n Hand in the Selecting and
Hanging of the Works of Art.
BosToN. Feb. 2a-About thirty ar
fists attended an adjourned meeting
Tuesday to receive the report of the
committee appointed to draft a petition
to Committee Halsey c. Ives, chief Of
the art department of the Columbia ex-
hibition. The meeting adopted the res
olutions reported by the committee.
They set forth that whereas, the har-
monious cooperation of the artists Of
the different cities most interested
in the subject of exhibiting can
best be assured by a fair and equitable
representation of a general or national
Jury and hanging committee, it wa
asked that the members Of the jury,
composed of Boston artists, already ap-
pointed. may become members of the
general committee for selecting and
hanging the works for the exhibition
at Chicago. and that Il such members
be delegated to act in this city for the
general committee, that their action be
considered as final. The meeting adj
journed subject to call from the chair

The Testimony of an Expert.

The claim has frequently been made in
these columns that RElD'S GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE contains
no poison and can be given to children
without the slightest danger. This is a
great thing to say, because the average
cough remedy contains opiates or narcotics
and many a child has been overcome by
too great a dose. In order to settle the
question for RElD'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE we have submitted
the case to Mr.. Chas. B. Allaire, the head
of the wellknown pharmaceutical house Of
Allaire, Woodward & Co., the largest drug
millers in Central Illinois and one of the
leading houses in the West. Mr.. Allaire Is
a practical chemist, a microscopic of learn
ing and authority, and a gentleman Of
wealth and standing. After 4 full and
careful examination he says:
81 an acquainted with the formula of
RElD'S GERMAN COUGH AND KID
NEY CURE and know that the claim that
it contains no opiate or any deleterious sub
stance is strictly true. 1t is an exceedingly
valuable remedy and | am glad to know
that it is meeting with such a large sale"
Mr.. Aliaire is in no way interested in the
Sylvan Remedy Co. and his high charac-
ter makes this testimonial of value. He
will endorse that statement by letter if any
one wishes t0 write him.

A Thirteen-HOur ScssiOn-Prohibition and
Woman Suffrage Left Out.

10 out
ST. Louis. Feb. 25.-The platform
committee of the National conference
of industrial associations, which re-
ported yesterday, had been in session
almost continuously for thirteen hours.
1t convened at 7:30 Tuesday evening,
and apportioned to subcommittee the
several topics supposed to be essential
to a reform platform About II o'clock
the subcommittee came into the gen.
eral committee with their work, and
then the real work of the platform COM
mittec began.
The question of prohibition was the
one on which there was the greatest
divergence, and on this a hot fight was
waged. 1t was this dispute which kept
the committee in session until S o'clock
yesterday morning. Advocates of pro-
hibition pleaded for the insertion of n
prohibition plank, but the majority
deemed such a declaration extremely
unwise, and the prohibitionists yielded
gracefully to the decision.
Concerning the "subtreasury scheme"
much was not said. The committee
recognized that the ~subtreasury idea
had contributed materially TO the adj
vancement of the reform movement in
the south and the conference could not
afford to go back on the notion. The
committee, however, recommend the
matter in a general way without in
sisting on particulars
The free coinage of silver went
through with a whirl.
There was quite n lively talk yer
the woman suffrage question. but the
southern delegates represented that
people down their way are not quite
ready for that reform and would not
take kindly to it. Besides, it was
thought best not to lumber up the
platform with matters not closely con-
nccted with industrial reform.

Drunken Charcoal Burners Roast a Dis

Drunken Charcoal Burners Roast a Dis
solute Woman In n Kiln.
SAULTE STE. MARIE, Mich, Feb. o5.-A
terrible story of crime comes from En-
erson, a small town IS miles northwest
ofhere. Charcoal manufacturing is one
of the industries of the town, and the
story is that charcoal burners caused
the death of a dissolute woman by
throwing her into n kiln from which a
portion of the coal had been taken,
while the remainder was still smolder-
ing. The men had been celebrating
WashinSton's birthday by getting
drunk, and repaired to a notorious
resort kept by a woman known as
Lucy Webb. They induced the
woman to leave the house. when they
were joined by a large number of their
fellow. workmen. TIE woman was
pulled and hauled until her clothing
was nearly all torn from her body.
The men led her away in the direction
of the kilns, and then deliberately
threw her into one that was still hot
and smoking. After securely fastcn-
ing her in the men retired and con-
tinued their ~revels. The woman was
taken out after she had been penned
in the terrible prison five hours. She
died n few minutes after her removal.

bian exposition, in n letter to the presi.
dent under date OF February 1G, calls
attention to the report submitted No
vember 25, 1891, citing the action of
the national commission upon the
proposition of the Illinois corporation
to apply to congress for a loan of ST.
OOO, 900. Since the submission of this
report, the board of reference and con-
troll of the national commission had
been authoritatively advised by
the Illinois corporation that it
had requested its members to
apply to congress for a oar of
s., 600, 900 and had determined t. apply
for an appropriation for Il like sum.
An aggregate exenditure of SIS, 600, 900
would have becn made up to the time
of the opening of the gates of the ex-
position. 1t would be evident that
the Illinois corporation had made ample
provision for the sum of $40, 900. 900 in
fulfllment of the obligation imposed
upon it by the act of congress. 1t
would. however, even if an appropria-
ton of IS, 900, 900 be made by congress,
be required to provide an additional
sum of So, 600, 900.

Il L. Not Well to Ignore Sports and Pas.
1t is sometimes urged by philosophers
that hunting, shooting and fishing are
recreations unworthy of intellectual
men Sentimentalists condemn them
ss cruel, and hard-hearted ut~ilitarians
ask, with a neer: whats the use?''
The philosophers are wrong. "All
work and no play makes Jack q dull

brace the nerves, exhilerate the animal
spirits and tend to promote the general
soundness which. in combination with
soundness of mind, is the chief of tenn

He who does little else than hunt
and shoot and fish is likely, it is true,
to live and die an ~ignoramus; but the
individual who merely devotes a leisure
day now and then to these amusements,
In nine out of ten strengthens his
brain as well as his muscles by the
exercise he takes; for body and mind
act and react upon each other, and by
working each alternately both are in

2 We believe that the liquor traffic is the
great enemy Of reform In this nation; it is the
chief foundation Of corruption in our politics,
and we denounce its pernicious influence upon
our country. and we demand its suppression.
We hold that the states respectively have full
authority to legislate concerning the sale Of in
toxicating liquors within their borders.
Therefore,, when the people have by law inter-
dicted or restricted the sale thereof. it is the
duty Of the federal government to respect their
action and collect no revenue from the traffic
within such state except from persons permitted
TO sell under state authority, and whenever the
laws OF any state shall prohibit or restrict
the sale Of intoxicants, we demand that con-
gress, in the exercise of its power to regu-
late commerce among the states shall forbid,
under proper penalty, all persons except thoss
duly authorized by local authority from trans.
porting liquors into such states; and we arraigu
