TEN DA VS. At THE FAIR.
CONTINUED

We promised last week to give our
readers another article on the paint
ings in the art building. So great is
the number and SO strange is the
panorama impression left on the mind
that we find the task quite difficult
We speak of some few things that to
us were the most striking and inter-
esting: Probably the department
which contains the greater number of
classic and renowned works of art in
the line of painting is what is known
as the Loan Collection. This consists
of large number of world renowned
paintings that have been loaned the.
exhibition by millionaire owners of
been purchasing the best pictures
that money would buy, and by muse
ums in this and other countries, to-
gether with not few very fine pieces
that have been sent by members Of
the royal families of Europe. Among
these may be mentioned" Springtime,
lovely piece that is almost nature it
self. GA Sewing Bee in Holland" is
picture which attracts much attention
and shows how the good women of
that busy country handle the needle,
rehearse the gossip of the neighbor-
hood and drink tea together. Then
there is Cazin's Expulsion from
Paradise" a remarkable production;
and there is Reading Homer" a
very fine work by Alma Tadma; Je-
rome, the eminent French painter,
has the "Serpent Charmer," pic
ture that inspires both curiosity and
horror.
The loan pictures cover a very wide
range of subjects and detailed de-
scription of them would be interest
ing, if it were possible to give it here.
We mention among some that are
found elsewhere 1.-THE Story Teller a
German picture where the old grand
mother story teller has gathered the
children about her and is telling a tale
that absorbs the greatest ieterest in
every child, and is making an impress
sion on the minds of the children
which may never be effaced. The
picture is real and excites general
interest. tGoing Home," another
German picture, represents q desc
late scene in winter, where an aged
person is leading child along a snowy
and painless way, where there is no
sign of habitation or of man. A Hol-
land picture, "Ploughing," shows a
fat old Dutch farmer in wooden shoes,
big breeches and short spencer, trudg-
ing along in a furrow, his team asingle
OK attached by cords running from his
horns or neck between his legs to a
wooden beam, supported by low
trucks, on which stake stuck down
in hole in the beam constituted the
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1893-09-04
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, dug. %, 1898.

Washington, dug. %, 1898.
Here is one good piece of news, thai
ought to please every man interested
in the welfare of the country. There
will be no wild cat money authorized
at this session of Congress, the House
committee on banking and currency
having majority against the bill for
the repeal of the tax on State bank
currency. Whether knowingly or
not does not matter, but Speaker
Crisp certainly did the country a
great service when he made up that
committee by selecting majority OPP
posed to wild cat money.
One of the best, as well as one of
the most conservative, of the speeches
made in the House during the silver
debate was that delivered by ex
Speaker ReedEon Saturday. He was
at his best and was as warmly con-
graduated at the..close of his speech
by democrats as bysrepublicans.
The new rules of the House are
much better than those used by the
last House, but are not as good as the
much abused Reed rules, which they
follow to a certain extent.
The number of democratic Congress
men who do not agree with the adj
ministration''in it's treatment Of pen
sioners is increasing, or, perhaps it
would be more correct to say that the
number of those who have the cour-
age to express their opinion is grow
ing larger. The latest case is that of
General Dan Sickles, who represents
one of the New York city districts,
the nomination having been given
him by Tammany to prevent his bolt
ing the Cleveland ticket. In a speech |
on the silver question Geo. Sickles adj
vocated as one of the methods of |
temporarily relieving the money
that pension claims due
October 1,..be paid at once. He said
in that connection: "Why not pay
out now to this large mass of pub
lie creditors distributed all over the
country-men and women and child
rem who have the most touching
claims upon public Egratitude $780,,
300, 900, in small bills and silver? The
money will lgo where it will do the
most good; amongssss the brave men
Who do not hoard their pittance from
of the government they saved,
and who are too day feeble and infirm,
Ind unable to fud employment to
earn living.'' Good as this sugges- ;
ion is, there is little or no PROBABLE {
y of being adopted.k The administra {
ion that pays out pension money {
after it is due will not be
likely to anticipate the payment of a ]
lollar of it. j;

THE INFANT&s RECEPTION.
Spain Assured That She VIII Receive the
Highest Honors,

hfHhest honors.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Commander Da
Wis, of the navy, who will act as the repre-
sentative of the president in escorting the
Spanish infanta during her visit to the
United States, received his final instruc
tipns at the state department yesterday,
and in the afternoon left Washington fol
New York. He will meet the infanta al
Quarantine on Friday.

ence to the final details of the official recep
tion of the Infanta Eulalfe In Washington.
Commander Davis says that il the vessel
on which the infanta Is coming to thu
United States arrives in New York early
on Friday next the royal party will CONT
to Washington that evening unless the
infanta is too much fatigued to continue
her journey, in which event she will re-
main on board the vessel until Saturday
morning, when she will start for Wash.
ington on a special train over the Penn.
sylvania railroad. No questions were
hsked by the commander in reference to
the manner OF her entertainment while in
this city, and no information bearing on
that subject Was given him, SO that the
action of the president with reference to
the infanta remains as much mystery ms
ever.

tesy that any negotiations should be made

tntimation had been given by the Wash.

representative of the queen of the nation
who discovered America, would be re.
ccived with the highest honors.

Christie warden.s Murder Avenged.

CONCORD, n. H., May 17-Frank C.
Almy, or George II. Abbott, was hanged
in the jailyard here for the murder Of
Christie Warden at Hanover, N H., in
July, 1891. The murderer went to his
doom with apparent unconcern. The exc.
cution was bungling affair. Alny's feet
touched the floor when he went through
the drop, and he was apparently strangled
to death. A minute after he fell officers
on the platform of the scaffold pulled tho
body up several feet. The rope had pulled
over the left ear while the knot was fully
one foot above the neck. Among the wit.
nesses was Il brother of the murdered girl.

The BROKEN LEvEES.
State and Government Omcials Examin-
ing the Mississippi Crevasses.

ing the mississippi Creyasses.
NEW ORLEANS, May 1.-THE last infor-
nation from the Grand lake, or Carriolla,
crevasse is to the effect that the break is
now 500 feet wide. The levee along the
Carriolla reach is very low, the water being
within few inches Of the top for a dis
tance of three miles. The water from the
crevasse will flow directly into the Grand
lake, thence into Boufe river and Bayou
Macon.
Persons acquainted with the Tensas
basin say the prospective inundation will
find large portion Of area formerly culti-
waited deserted, the population having been
driven ont by repeated floods. This is es-
pecially the case in Madison parish, west
OF Tallulah, formerly, though many years
ago, the richest part of the parish.
Assistant State Engineer Thompson
says the present Arkansas crevasses are
about equal to those of last year, but as
barely a third as much water has flowed
or is flowing around the head of the
levee system it will not do as much dam
age in the Tensas basin as the food in 1892
A despatch from Greenville Miss, says
that Governor Foster, of Louisiana, and
party took boat yesterday afternoon to
examine the condition of the leyees on the
Arkansas side of the river from there to

Greenyille, where they were Joined by Con-
gresham Blanchard, chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee of the house
OF representatives, and met the Mississippi
river commission.

family of Mexicans named MARITIME, con.
sistihg of father, mother and three chill
dren, living five miles above here, were
