The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-11-03

named Eva is due to the popularity OF
Mrs. Stoves book and drama, "Uncie
Toms Cabin" prevalent about 50 many
years ago.
Did you ever notice that the green street
cars OF misty night are peculiarly weird
and gnostly feeling their way down
townf
II you eat handful OF English walnnts
they will.anake you drowsy and II your
complexion is fair and delicate they are
likely to cause an eruption.
The current issue of the Manufacturing
Jeweler, of Providence, celebrates the
tenth anniversary of Itself and the big
Attieboro festival in the bargain. 1t Is
handsome aud interesting issue.
Artist Charles Walter Stetson and Mrs
Stetson are shortly to leave these parts Tor
California, after which they will go to
Europe, and it is planned 10 spend some
years abroad. 1t is possible that Provi-
dence may not see them again. At least
MIR. Stetson is not likely TO make this
city the place of professional work In the
future.
Although distinctly appreciated by the
local fraternity OF artists, Mr.. Stetson's
work has met with only limited appre-
ciation in the home OF his labors and life.
Abroad, however, the Stetson fad Is
conspicuous feature of the art market and
the Observer learns that the tall
ented Providence artist has recently
disposed OF practically the whole product
OF his brush that remained in his studio
and the various works will make Stetson
gallery in New York.
Mr.. Stetson is a coiorist Of rare accom-
plishments and is eminently painter
of pictures with a purpose and an
inherent meaning. II his drawing Is con-
fessedly weak, his coloripgs more than
compensate for it, and the mere mechan-
ical feature of art he will readily acquire
with practice in European schools. Few
artists, however, approsel SO nearly the
old masters as does NJ. Stetson in the use
OF his brush.
Mr.. Stetson will abandon his studio in
the Fleur- de- lys, and the quartet of artists,
which includes Mr.. Burleigh, Miss Chaplin
aud Mr.. Marshall, the latter chief of THE
NEWS art department, will have vacancy
which will probably be filled by Mr..
Stacy Tolman, who proposes TO occupy
Mr.. Stetson's studio.
X.-A call should be returned within
two weeks. The same rule applies TO
borrowed Umbrella.
NAT URAL.-A gentleman should never
offer his arm to an invalid who is confined
to her bed.
SIssY.-Do not allow married man to
kiss you unless you are less than six years
old.
Speaking of advertising, the State of
California has recent law on its statute
books to this effect: "Eyery proprietor
or publisher of any newspaper or periodi-
cal, who shall wilfuily and knowingly
nisrepresent the circulation of such
newspaper or periodical, for the purpose
OF securing advertising or other patron
age shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
The advertising solicitor is apparently
exempted from the provisions Of the
law.
The Observer publishes the following
announcement at the polite request OF tie
United States department of agriculture:
An exposition will be held in Bordeaux,
France, from May to November of next
year, under the aus pices OF the Philomathic
Society of that city with the approval and
co operation of the State, the Department,
the Municipality, and the Chamber of
Commerce. In the matter of wines,
spirits, and fermented liquors, generally,
the Exposition will DO inter-
national in its character, and
all nations are invited to display
their products in this line. The French
am bassador communicates this informa-
ton to American wine growers and
American manufactures OF spirits and
fermented liquors through the United
States departments of agriculture with
cordial invitation to avail themselves of
this opportunity 60 extend a knowledge
o. their resources ia these products to the
people of Europe. Bordeaux being the
centre OF an important and extensive
wine making region, it is certain that
American wine growers could on this oc-
casion, in addition to exposing their own
wares, acquire much useful knowledge in
regard TO the wine industry. Applica-
tions for space must be made To the
president OF the Societe Philomathique,
2 Cours du xxx Juliet, Bordeaux,
France" not later than Dec. 1, 1894. An
entrance fee of "a will be exacted from
each exhibitor, and $40 per square meter
will be charged for space.
