Her husbands political attachments gave
her position. Ten years ago, suffering from
a great political disappointment, Judge Will
liams sought to find solace in exile to this
pleasant western city Since then the ia
bles have been turned. Judge Williams
came to Portland seeking oblivion, but in
stead he is gaining much notoriety by rea-
son of his wife's cratic religious beliefs and
rash assumptions. Already Mrs. Williams
has built up new religion, and is the leader
of band of 800 or more ignorant fanatics,
who believe that upon her shoulders has
fallen the sacred mantel of the Prophet Eli
Jah that she is able to heal the sick, cure
the cripple. cause the blind to see and raise
the dead. even as Jesus did when on earth
she claims to be the New Messiah" For

the evident fact that their seed has brought
forth 50 good a harvest. 1t is no wonder
that movement OF this kind should win
public sympathy. There is something pa

1.-THE life class is one of the most impor-
tant periods in learning art. Here the stu
dents are taught to draw from models,
draped and nude, both male and female
Many of the students who intend to be pro-
fessional artists also take up the study of
anatomy, but this is not absolutely neces-
sary. AS 1t is impossible to secure models
who are perfectly formed in every detail
We often find the necessity of making a
composite picture from three or four. One
may have fine arm, another better shaped
limbs. Sometimes, however, an artist may
obtain a model who is fairly proportioned
all over. thus relieving him or her of get
ting additional ones
Was there any difficulty in securing
models?" asked The Star reporter
There was at first" replied Mr.. Meyer
but il came from the small demand there
was for them in Washington. This trouble
has been gradually overcome. and al pres
ent the league employs a number of per-
sons in this capacity"
In conclusion, Mr.. Meyer said that he
thought the school was making great head
way. and 1t would not be long before they
WOULD need larger quarters. over one hun
dred pupils now belong, and more are join
ing the ranks daily
Il long 10 see the day" he said when
the art-loving citizens of this city will turn
to the past and thank the students who, by
their conscientious work and untiring en-
ergy, founded this institution and helped to
make Washington the greatest art center
in the United States"
The officers of the league for the ensuing
year are: President, Mr.. F. Francis Riggs:
first vice president. MIR Wells NJ Sawyer;
second vice president Miss A. f. Solomons;
recording secretary. Mr.. w. p. Chiffon;
corresponding secretary. Miss A. ]. New
comb; treas urer Miss Mathilda Mueden
On November Is the league inaugurated

the Builders Exchange Hall. and the fiat
terfngly large attendance at the first lee
ture gives assurance of the marked success
