BREAKING UP.
Virgins Writes of tho Closing of the
Fair.

virgins Writes of the Closing of the
Fair.
Mr.. Frank Virgins, superintendent of
the exhibit at the worlds fair, has writ
ten to the chamber of commerce that
very little more can be realized from the
sale OF any part OF the display at Chi
cago. The various walnut towers, pal
ace of plenty, show cases, revolving
alburls, jars ETC., will bring only $780,
With the closing OF the fair millions of
dollars OF exhibits are thrown upon the
market, flooding it so that in order to
dispose Of anything the purchaser has
TO be paid 10 take them away.
The exposition people charge 30 cents to
81 for letting package out OF she
grounds, 80 the only way to get any
email package out is TO smuggle them.
Formerly there was much inquiry for
trees and plants, but this has ceased
and the attendants are given time now
in which to attend to their duties. The
work of tearing down and hauling away
has commenced.
In speaking of the midwinter fair Mr..
Wiggins states that Southern California
will have to get hump on herself to
make creditable display. He thinks
that none but citrus fruits can be OBJ
tanned for display unless the people at
this end have thought to put the de-
ciduous fruits in jars to preserve them
for the San Francisco show. Those now
in Chicago will be useless, as they will
be ruined by being taken across the
country again. He adds that the state
will pay freight on good portion of the
exhibit, so that what ia desirable to re-
turn can be done with the slight cost of
loading and unloading at either end.
Mr.. Virgins stated in another letter
that he was run to death. Every old
busy-body who had bsy-window flower
garden wanted to get plant OF some
kind from the exhibit, and would talk
| to no one but him.
Every grocer who had 7x9 window
wanted jars of come sort to display, and
when told that this state did not care
to pay him for this work seemed to feel
greatly aggrieved and said he had al
ways thought that Californians were
great for advertising.
AH to the charitable organizations.
they seem to expect TO be kept for the
next year with the contributions from
the California exhibit.
1t was hades getting into the build
ing, but Mr.. Virgins says it will be a
picnic to getting out.

After the adoption of the report Mr..
O. Mulholland read very interesting
paper upon the coal, iron and other de-
posits OF Southern Utah. In 1891 he
had visited Southern Utah for the pur-
pose OF investigating the coal fields.
They are In the Wahsatch mountains,

effect that the portrait Had beer
in the possession of the Kran-
king family upwards Of eighty
years, and was genuine Duplessis.
I he celebrated painter became i'm
pressed with the face of tue famous
American on seeing him at the court OF
France. and painted several portraits of
him. Two of these were exhibited in
France, one in I779, during Franklin's
visit, and the other in 1901, after his
death. The portrait in DR.. Snyder's
possession is considered by Krankling
to be the one exhibited in 1779. During
the French revolution Duplessis lost
everything that he had, and this picture
was taken to the Russian province of
Civiland, where the elder Krankling
found and purchased 1t.
NJ. Laland, director of the museum
at Avignon, advances the opinion
that this is the picture which Du-
plessis exhibited in Paris in 1901
and kept for himself until compelled to
part with it for pecuniary reasons. The
verdict of the genuineness of the pict-
ure is universal, Dr.. Snyder having
called to his aid several artists and art
critics, whose knowledge and expert
ence would make their evidence con-
elusive. 1t is not to be supposed that
st. Paul lovers of fine pictures will LET
this portrait pass into the hands of out

of Three Celebrated Pictures.

of Berlin, where he has been practicing
dentistry, and now on visit to his
brother'in this city, is the fortunate pos

BENJAMIN Franklin. painted by the eel
ebrated French artist DupleSSis, who
XVI, at the time of Franklin'S resi-
dence in Paris, 1776-17S3. The picture
is life size, and corresponds exactly in
style, treatment and coloring with the
Duplessis portraits in the Louvre or the
painting of Louis XVI. in the galleries
of Versailles. ltrepresents Franklin IN
a red brown coat, with heavy fur col
lar, such as the sage was partial to.
After more than hundred years the
portrait still retains its beautiful fresh
color The hair is iron grey, and the
elean-shaven face, delicateiy shaded, is
very characteristic.
DR.. Snyder came across the picture
purely by accident. During a trip to
Dresden he met the son of r. G. Kran-
king, who had once been director of
the historical museum of Dresden. The
man being in reduced circumstances.
spoke of a picture which he had in
herited from his father. portrait of
Benjamin. Franklin, and besought Dir.
Snyder to go and see it,. He went, saw
and was conquered. He was impressed
with the portraits beauty and the fact
that it was an undoubted DupIessis, and
bought it at once, having with it
voucher of authenticity signed and YER
ified by state notary of Saxony to the

TO A SIGN PAINTER.

Oh, worthy artist. in my chair
sat and watched you working there,
A humble slave of art.
Upon the board which bears the sign
saw you painting, line by line,
In hues astonishingly fine
That marvellous White Hart.
How cleaning white the creature shone,
How green the grass he stood upon,
When all was quite complete
Observe the posture of the head,
The eye "a lurid spot of red),
The strange extremities, instead
OF ordinary feet!
You vanished at your labor close,
Since other landlords | suppose,
For your assistance ask:
A Ship-a military scene
Lion red-a Dragan green
The Sun and Moon. with stars between
What is your present task?
What though perspective you ignore,
What though the paints you keep in store
Are bad as bad can be?
Impressionists would doubtless glance
Upon your masterpiece askance,
But yet their scorn is not perchance,
From envy wholly free.
An artist in a humble sphere
of carpiug cliques you have no fear,
No dread of critics tongue.
Contented with the rustics' praise,
No base committee of K. A.
AvaiIS to rob you of your bays
Your works are always hungi
No thought of unavailing quest
For purchasers disturb your rest,
No fear of payment late;
Your work is scarcely finished when
You take the money, there and then
A system which more famous men
Would gladly imitate
