KEITH'S ANTIQUES.

The California In1pressicnist Discov-
ers the Long.Lost Art of Laying
on ColorS.

Yes! / have just hit it off at last 1t

have got to be In the right mood and feet
ing to do 1t; in fact, don't strike it every
time YETI
IL was with an air of triumphant artistic
enthusiasm that William Keith pronounced
these words yesterday, as he glanced at the
portrait of youths head that stood on an
easel in his studio. The painting was ex-
ecuted in dark and somber colors, with
ray Of yellow light across the face-a style
of ''chiaro-oscuro." which is supposed to
have lived and died with Rembrandt and
few others of the ancient masters.
For some weeks William Keith has been
announcing TO his friends that he was on
the long lost trail of those old masters, but
now he is sure of 1t. and only a regard for
the properties Of modern life restraints
him from rushing out on the streets aud
crying Eureka" like oldArchlmedes when
be made his famous discovery.
Now look at tbs" continued Keith,
putting a highly toned modern" picture
on the easel anu comp pairing IL with scorn
with the Northumberland youth. ut

when have treated 1t; this picture can be
made to look Rembrandt like the other
,," AS for the process, well you cam OF get
pointed proudly TO woodland scene that
looked so like Claude Lorraine" that
jury of artists would have been tempted
To swear 1t had never proceeded from a
m odern brush. "YOu cannot get that Juice.
| say, by mere mechanical process. l
use white only as background, but that is
not the secret, and l would rather not eX-
plain it yet, in fact. 1t would not help any
one il did," and Keith. TO keep from be-
traying too much of his discovery abruptly
changed the conversation by exclaiming:
''Do you see those scratches and the
sort of dusty look in the lines? Well,
that's in the old masters, and people say
they got it in being cleaned. Il seems to
me little absurd. though. that the owners
would take valuable pictures and allow
them to be rubbed and scratched. Now,
hold that those lines were always there;
it was part Of the process used by those
old fellows"
shall you send any of them to the
spring exhibition" asked the reporter,
thinking that Keth's antiques" might be
used to beguile foreign visitors into be-
lleving that San Francisco owned gal
lery of Rembrandts, Van Dykes and
Claude Lorraines.
We'll, can't say just at present" re.
piled the California impreSsionist, reflec-
lively. Most of them are going to New
York, though that you his head may be
sent 10 the Art Institute. The fact is" he
added. in burst of enthusiasm. sit is such
an awfully exciting pleasure to paint in
this new way that l have not time 10
think of anything else just at present"
And then the reporter glided out of the
studio. leaving Keith throwing the colors
on his palette for nineteenth century
Rubens.

BIG TAX BILLS.
A Large Sum Paid by the Hibernia
Savings and Loan Society.

Two men staggered into Tax Collector
Blocks Office yesterday under heavy load of
paper. The load represented $500 tax bills
issued 10 the HiberDla Savings and Loan So
eiety on mortgages held by the bank on prop
erty In this city. Accompanying the bills was
a check for S15s, 65S O5.
This represented the second lnstallment of
taxes paid by The bank during the year. The
holding back of this large sum OF money for a
number of months under the double installment
plan OF paying taxes shows how such cOllec-
tons benefit those VINO make large payments.
as the interest on such large sum $685.
65S OS for six months Is not 10 be despised IL
as much as per cent is obtained.
During the year the total payments or the
s31737o1 6. or almost $1,000 for every work
Ing day of the year.
On last Tuesday the German Savings and
Loan Society paid about s57 600 in taxes. The
Hibernia Bank Is the heaviest taxpayer 10 the
city, nottexcepIing the railroads.

POLK-STREET CUT.
Property Owners Unable TO Agree as

The committee rooms of the Board of Super
visors were crowded with prOperty-owners yes
terday.
he old-time question of The Polk-street cut
again came up this time on petition 10 grade
the same and the formation of an assessment
district TO pay for the work.
After hearing what both sides had to say. the
committee, on the suggestion of Chairman Day,
decided TO visit the street and see how the situ-
alton was in reality.
On motion Of supervisor Denman it was
agreed 10 recommend that Mrs. John Kenny
be allowed $1,000 for being injured while the
Fourth-street bridge was In process OF con-
struetion, with the understanding that she
would nay all the cost of her sickness.
The matter OF he Liberiy-street grade was
once more taken under advisement.
A number OF property-owners from South San
Francisco protested against the work of paving
Railroad avenue from Second 10 Eighteenth
avenues, and also 10 the formation Of an assess
ment district. The committee decided 10 ignore
the protest and recommend that the wolk be

A Foolish Youth.

The parents and brothers of Bert Davenport.
young dentist, were filled with despair yester-
day morning at receiving letters from him that
drink had got the better of him and he was
going TO take his own life. One OF the brothers
hurried 10 police headquarters and implored
the Chief TO find him dead or alive. Although
his parents live at 125 Grove street Bert had
been rooming at 2S5a Sixth street, and inuuir-

Efforts are being made to drag the
Hon. George D. Tillman from the
quietness and seclusion of his home,
into the ''cesspool" Of politics by in
dacing him to become a candidate
for Governor. It almost makes one
sick to read the fulsome praises
which some papers and their CORES
pondents are soldering over him to
influence his decision, which, during
his contest with Mr.. Henderson of
Aiken, were so bitter in their denun-
citation of him. Truly, the whirligig
of time goes round and the papers
and the people and their opinions
change with each revolution. It is
like the game of 'Egreasy pig"-now
you see it and now you don't, or like
Josh Billings flea, you see it, meas
ure the distance, make grab for it.,
sure you have it, but when you open
your hands, 10, it is not there. It
will not be at all surprising to some
day read in the papers that are now
conspicuous only for their abuse of
Ben Tillman, glowing tribute to
his matchless craftsmanship, genius
and patriotism. Stranger things
than this have happened.

The morning after Governor Till
man made his speech on the Dis
pensary System before the Prohibi
ton Convention at Prohibition Park,
on Staten Island, the Press Associa-
ton sent out a report of it which,
for untruthfulness, misrepresenta-
tion and studied malignity, almost
rivals the reports sent out from this
State by a hostile and bitter press
concerning thepublic and private acts
and utterances of the Governor. Past
experience has demonstrated that
the best and surest plan is to believe
nothing one seesin in these papers, dero-
gatory to Governor Tillman, for when
the truth comes to the surface, which
it surely will sooner or later, it will
be found that the facts are just op-
posite to what they were at first
stated. 1t is now said in this
instance, he carried his audience
with him, and a hand primary taken
Immediately after his speech, showed
three to one in favor of the dispen,
sary.

At big jollifycation Of Reform
ers of Columbia Friday night, Gen.
J. S. Werner, a prominent Conserva-
tive, who, it will beremembered, was
a candidate before the people in the
campaign of 1890 for Comptroller
General on the Conservative side, re-
nounced his alligance to that faction
and connected himself with the Re-
formers; or, as he appropriately said,
''quit the world and joined the
church." There is plenty of room
in the Reform ranks for many more
such men of Mr.. Verner's character
and intelligence. They can do no
good outside and should come in and
assist in getting things righted, as
they have seen them wrong. Work
for the general good for the greatest
number.

Some papers are trying to make
political capital out Of the action of
the State Democratic Executive Com,
mittee in providing a way for those
men who strayed from the Demo-
cratic fold and wandered off after
strange gods and new doctrines by
voting for Viewer for President, to
come back to their first love without
injury to their self respect; but they
were as dumb as oysters and as close
as clans when the committee made
the same provisions for the return
Of those who voted for Judge
Haskell, Independent, for Governor,
DIR. Ensor, Republican, for Congress
and appealed to the negro to over
throw white supremacy in the State.
Be consistent, gentlemen, if the
committee did wrong in one case,
it certainly committed the same
blunder in the other.

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health,
and an absence of appetite is an in
dicatlon of something wrong. The
loss of rational desire for food is
soon followed by lack of strength.
for when the supply Of fuel is cut OFT
the fire burns low. The system
gets into low state, and is liable to
severe attacks of disease. The uni
versal testimony given by those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to
it's great merits in restoring and
sharpening the appetite, in promot-
ing healthy action of the digestive
organs, and as a purifier OF the
blood, constitutes the strongest re-
commendation that can be urged for
any medicine. Those who have
never used Hoods Sarsaparilla
should surely do so this season. 80.

LEXINGTON, S. c.,
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 90, 1894.

The State campaign opened at
Rock Hill Monday, and as we have
to leave for Columbia to do our press
early Tuesday morning before the
themail is distributed, it is impossible
for us at this time to give any accu-
rate information as to the result of
the meeting. No matter what that
result may be, however, it cannot be
taken as an indication of the true
sentiment of the people as to choice
between Tillman and Butler. There
are several reasons why this cannot
be done, chief among which might
be mentioned is the fact that the
town ana cities contributed largely
to the gathering while the country
was not so largely represented. Our
information is that large crowds
from towns along the railroads enter
ing Rock Hill and from Columbia,
presumably friends and supporters
of Gen. Butler, left for the meeting
Sunday night.
Now, as the first gun in the cam
paign of 1894 has been actually
fred, it is to be hoped that the meet
ings throughout the State, will be
conducted in such manner that the
breach among the whites which has
been opened for four long and weary
years, will be closed, and that all
bitterness, strife and contention will
be frowned down. The candidates
can bring about this much de-
sired era Of peace and good will
by so guarding their utterances as to
give no cause for i'll feelings. Let
the longest pole knock down the per-
simmon.

Episcopal Entertainment.
Contributed.

AS all Lexingtonians do, the Dis
patch feels a pride in the local his
trionic and musical ability Of hel
young people. So, therefore, when.
ever we have occasion to speak with
what might be considered fulsome
praises of the delightful entertain
ments given from time to time, IN
our improvised opera house (the court
house, we plead the meritorious ex,
cellence Of the performances as oul
excuse for indulging in any compll
mentary expressions in reference
thereto of the many exhibitions OF
the kind given within the last few
years, the tableaux andmusical given
by the ladies of All Saints Episcopal
Mission last week reached the acme
of excellence.
The tableau, in two parts, "Aben
Ben Adhem and the angel" was as
pretty spectacular scene as ever
witness. It was not only idealistic,
but realistic.
Miss TAns Meetze's impersonation
of an angel was a splendid concep
ton of what we would suppose such
beautiful ethereal being to be. In
fact she looked realistic enough to
fly away on her snow white pinions.
The recitation in this tableau by
Miss May Bradford was rendered
with an elocutionary ability that
cannot be surpassed. Her handsome
appearance added a charm to the
picture, which made it pleasing and
delightful to look upon.
The Rainbow was rendered by 26
young Misses, as follows:
Roses Iceoline Harman, May
Meetze, Eloise Hammer, Lucille
Efrd.
Tulips-Ethel Dreher, Bessie Duf-
fe. Ellie Haltiwanger.
Dandelion-Queenie Spann, Lena
Harman, Sally Lee.
Snow Ball-Essle Etird, Merldeth
Muller. Hattie Duffie, Bessie Lee.
Cornfower-Ethel Harman, Eddie
Wingard, Burley Wingard, Mary
Graham.
Morning Glory-Estelle Marks,
Macy Monts, Pearl Spann.
Violets-Ernestine Graichen, Ruth
Graham, Annie Lou Harman, Bessie
Corley.
They completely captivated the
audience.
The success of the entertainment
is largely due to the efforts of Mrs.
H. A. Meetze and Mrs NJ. E. Lath-
rope, in training the children their
parts.
Refreshments were served at the
conclusion of the performance, and
quite substantial amount was taken
in which will be expended in pur-
chasing a new organ for All Saints.
