pom contest for ladies to 20 to the Worlds

The picture. I'm Ny Studio" in the
herman section of the art exhibits At
Shicaso has been slashed with a knife.
The painting is by Kahler, who, il is
thought, had the picture cut so rs TO al
tract attention. Artists think the in

called ON President Higinbothsm. and

OF the Midway. On the margins OF the
leaves crosses and stars had been made. |
showing that he had visited the theaters
OF the giddy Persian dancers and the
dusky Algerians Mr.. Comstock will
call on President Higinbotham again |
and make another protest against the
dancehouses. Failing to have them sup
pressed by officials OF the fair, he will |
probably appeal TO the city authorities. |
