MISS McCORMICK'S EMISSION"

Miss NJ. Evelyn Mccormick, who with Arthur
f. Mathews was given the honor of represent
ing California in the National Gallery at the
Worlds Fair, has two pictures there. OF these
most art critics say THE Old Mission of San
Luis key'' is the better.
In perspective ara nicely of detail the pic
ture is certainly a work of considerable merit,
though Miss Mccormick thinks that she has
painted Others of more artistic value.
Miss Mccormick is representative girl of
the Golden S ale. She was born in FL Dorado
COunty-at PlacerVille or Hangtown. as it was
called in the days made memorable by the
genius OF Bret Harte, Prentice Mulford and
Others whose pen-pictures Will live in history.
While yet a child her parents removed to

Linden avenue, to talk over the matter.
The members of the committee which
was appointed at the last meeting to visit
President Thurston and secure. il pos
sible, rapid transit to Greenville are
roundly denouncing the railroad Off
calls for falling to keep their
promises. When the committee visited
Mr.. Thurston the President promised
to have electric cars running TO Green
vile within ninety days. This was over
two weeks ago. The President also
promised to Immediately begin the work
of setting the necessary poles. and now
that Two weeks have elapsed and nothing
has been lone by the railroad people the
members of the association are becoming
very indignant. and threaten. nnless some
thing is done shortly by the j. C. & B..
K. Il. they will join forces with the Jer-
sey City Rapid Transit Company, and
give the company whatever assistance
they can.
Now that the open cars have been
placed on the Greenville cars the traffic
has increased at q remarkable rate. and
the Greenville residents say that the
should be awake to the fact that
better and quicker service is needed, and
should equip as soon as possible the road
with electric cars. Que prominent mem
Der of the association said yesterday
''It's nothing short of an outrage the
way we are treated by the ]. G. g. B. r.

ton promised us that he would
have u gang of men at work
putting up the poles. but like many other
promises that gentleman has made us. it
presed to be a pure fake. Mr.. Thurston
will not place electric cars on the Green
Vile line until he is forced to by COM
petition or otherwise. We. however. will
not nave to stand this very long. Other
companies are applying for franchises TO
build rapid transit roads, and we will
give these companies hearty support"
