MIR. Yelland has two charming bits IN his
studio now. which he believes to be among his
very best sketches. One is The edge OF wood
at sag Harbor. The heavy sky and the sug-
gestIveness of the foliage give it considerable
depth The other sketch is perhaps the finer
1t is a late autumn scene in the Catskills, the
silver light in the running stream being con-
trast III pure harmony with tie overhanging
golden leaves of autumn and the azure OF the
pc K in the distance.
In answer TO the question as TO his part IN
the Midwinter art exhibit, Mr. Yelland ex
hihited the peculiar reticence which his col
leagues all show when this subject is men,
toned.
"The fair VIII be delayed until February, and
We have plenty of time. am on the jury, bur

krigbaum is INDICATED.

The charges OF bribery brought against Mar
cellus X. Krig baum during the suit brought by
the Chilkat Packing Company against the
London and Lancashire Fire Insurance Com
pany of Liverpool Will In all probability, be
allowed TO drop.
Judge Slack said yesterday that, while he had
given no official decision as TO tile value OF the
testimony submitted TO him, yet he was satisfied
IN his own MIND that the charges were absurd.
IL was impossible that Krgbaum could have
entered a saloon packed with Dalton's friends
and made the alleged suggestion in perfectly
natural tone OF voice, so as TO be overheard.
The Judge said that in his opinion there wa a
GOOD deal OF i'll feeling somewhere. The case
was over ana decided. and In all probability the
N al ter would never again be heard of.
