competent TO judge, have said they were
greatly surprised at Its excellence.
Orrln Peck's picture, blessing the
Flowers" Is the largest canvas in the
room and occupies the place of honor In
the center of the western wall. 1t Is a
piece of work that would be admitted TO
any exhibition in the world and shows a
strong conception of the picturesque and
great originality OF composition.
The subject selected is a scene i'm the
monastery garden at Santa Barbara. The
old towers of the church and the crumb-
ling walls of the veranda surround a beau
tiful garden of flowers aud trees, Sum
light and bright colors are Wis Bile eyerv-
where and a peaceful sentiment seems 10
linger as if dropped by some passing
breeze.
In the foreground two monks appear.
the elder of whom has his hands extended
In benedictioD over several pots of bloom
ing plants. Another monk is coming
around the curve of the old fountain bear
ing several more plants which lie wishes
TO also receive the blessing.
Inc picture is tainted in the manner of
the French school, and is well drawn and
coiored when considered from any point
OF view. The values are well studied and
the handling is free and easy. but with a
dash OF strength about il that is admIs-
sible. The modelling and coloring of the
laces may be open to some criticism as be-
ing lacking IN the warmth and richness of
tone characteristic of peOrle who lived out
OF doors great deal. as the old friars did.

leaves great deal to be desired, but the
color is strong and rich, although some

admits of.
MT. Gutherz's other picture, "The Life

merit, but open TO much criticism if looked

III. Howe has a picture entitled San
Early art to Market" which contains
some gond work. 1t represents a band of
sheep being driven down a country road
just as the light of dawn is making the
landscape visible. The picture is of a fair
order of merit, but far below Mr.. Howe's
average work. He is looked upon as one
of the strongest of the modern American
painters and on more than one occasion
has received an honorable mention" in
the Paris Salon.

How a Southerner Relieved 'One of
His Darkies of an Aching Tooth.


One OF The guests at The Riggs House. Wash

aching tooth, and inquired at the Office where
he could find good dentist. lie secured the
Information and went out 10 find relief, when
Proprietor DE Wltte smiled at funny remnis-
cence. Il shall never forget tooth-pulling in
cident that occurred when l was a youngster,"
he remarked. My unclr, who was physi-
cian, bad a great big, stalwa,t colOred man
for a servant. HIS name was Buck, aud one
day he went into his masters office and
complained tha one of his teeth was nearly

for him by using little magic. Buck was
equipped with all The superstition of his race,
and lie readily acquiesced In the suggestion,
for he thought the doctor could do anything.
The old gentleman took the small string from
his violin. and, making loop dropped 1t over
Bucks aching tooth and tew II taut. Then
he led Buck out to the hitchiDg-po and made
him stand on his tiDtoes, which brought his eyes

The catgul around IL. Upon the flat surface
of the top he poured some gunpowder, and
then solemny warning Buck not TO move lie re-

"A SUMNER NIGHT" BY T. RYszKIEwIEz

The effect of the bright suns hine tinging
the hair of the old man and throwing
pearly half-tones through the shadows is
well produced. but seems trifle cold in
effect considering the warmth and color of
the surroundings. But taken altogether it
is picture that would attract attention
anywhere. and California should be proud
at having such an excellent piece of work
produced on her soil.
Mr.. Peck also exhibits a portrait of
Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst that Is an admir-
able piece OF work as well as an excellent
likeness. The pose of head and figure IS
devoid Of any conventonality or attempt
at something unique. 1t simply shows her
seated in natural position such as her
friends are accustomed TO seeing her as
sumo. The face is expressive and full of
good drawing and color, and the drapery
is rich. but painted with snap that is
charming.
John A. Staunton, chief of the art de-
partment. has eight canvases hung, all OF
which are bright little bits of landscape or
Paris street scenes. Each has some charm
of its own, and is painted in broad, easy
style. The canvaSes are all small, but are

Hotel Guests Who Will Not Register.


The average guest at a firstclass hotel puts
his nst on The register and takes what The lord
OF the rooms gives him meekIy and uncom-
plaIninsly. There are rooms and rooms just as
there are hotels and hotels. and wneu the hotels
are CT lowded II takes an experienced and deter
mined man To get the best-Or a woman. No
hotel clerk has ever yet s ood up before the on
slaught OF lovely female bent on having
front room lighted on lwo sides aud not
higher than he third story. But there is another
class OF the dwellers in tents-tbe men who
never register Every hotel has them, and
Washington hotels more than any other city.
Here IL means the game OF politics. Th- man
who wan an office. and ls afraid his rivals are
going TO put up combinations against him, will
slip into his MOTEL aud tell NJ clerk that he
does not want to be seen or put on the book,
and the clerk tells him that it is all right. In
some cities such actions would be rightly re-
garded as sus icous, but not In Washington.

VEGETABLE MATTER.
Natures Method of Distributing
Seeds Through the World.
W ashington 81;

Washington star.
In some parts OF the world. notably in the
Malay Archipelago, vast quantities of vegetable
matter are always floating about on the sea.
On the MOlucca Islands the trees seem to dis
pute with the waves OF the ocean for The posses.
sion Of the soil. Not only are their roots and
often portions OF their trunks immersed in
water, but their branching crowns incline in the
same direction and are baihed by the tides.
Thus the numerous currents OF the Moucca Sea
are charged with seaweeds, intermiXed With
flowers. fruits cocOanutS nuts or other palms
and even whole trees. The amount OF drift
wood thrown upon ali shores Is enormous.

carries them TO the ocean. For the very
purpose OF accomplishing this distribution
by water nature has made the bHsks
OF many seeds practically waterproof.
Among the familiar objects pick ed up on
the ocean beach are the so-called seabeans. IL
Is populafly supposed that the plants which
bear these beans grow in the water. The beans
are fouDd IN enormous quantities on the Florida
shore nj In diminishing numbers nOrtnward
along The Atlantic coast. They are the seeds
or various pOd-OeariDg vnes-climbing plants
plentiful along the shores of the Caribbean Sea.
Each pod. resembling an exaggerated peapod,
contains number OF seeds. Tie latter, falling
when ripe Into the water, are carried by the
guif stream around the south end of the Florida
and up the Atlautic coast. There are three
important varieties, one reddish and fiat,
other more round and gray, and The third much
bigger and OF a mahogany color.

A small picture entitled '.Autumr' is
about the most mertori0us of any of Mr.
Staunton's work. 1t is only sketch from

but the sky is filled with a glow Ct light

The American collection is hung in the
upstairs gallery and taken altogether is
somewhat Disappointing. Canvases by
the later generation OF artists are missing,
and few of those exhibited are up to the
high standard OF American art that has
already been established by our best men

Carl Gutherz has two pictures on exhibit
tion which are good representatives of his
style, which incllneS tn the decor tive. The
smaller one Is entitled the Temptation of
Saint Anthony" and shows that thread
bare subject in a somewhat new light. In
fact Mr.. Gutnerz received the first prize
on his composition sketch. which was
handed in as class work in the Julian
Academy several years ago. The picture
shows lhe Old saint in his lonely cell and a
beautiful woman is pointing to a vision of
a happy family scene which appears in
the misls of the depths of the cavern.
The old saint is shown as the happy father
surrounded by his loved ones. and all this
is promised Anthony il he will only for
sake his vows. The picture is beautiful
nd entirely lacking in the waD:on feat
ures so common in the handling of this
subject. The drawing and technique

that is terrifying but fascinating in its
awful grandeur. The ill-fated ship has
been Il rown ION the reef of Normans
Woe" and the angry water is hing and
boiling around 1t. The sky is thick with
dark clouds and throws a cold shade over
the water wherever it Is not lashed into
foam by the fury of the elements. Only a
small portion of the reef is visible aud
that just appears through film of glisten-
ing water.
The painting on this picture is broad
and solid, but so easily done that it pro-
duces thin, transparent effect. The
water in the foreground is of a gray.green
color, hut is clear and deep and the sweep
of the waves long and majestic. 1t is a
scene that holds the observer spellbound,
and the feeling that some terrible tragedy
is being enacted cannot be shaken off as
long as the picture is looked at.

Tariff Policy of the Republican
Senators.
Not Inclined to Give Away Their
Hand Before the Proper
Time Comes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-The paramount
question here is whether the Senate Re-
::llubicans will follow the policy of the
House Republicans on the Wilson bill. A
Republican member Of the Ways and
Means Committee says the minority in
the House did not conclude to follow the
policy it did without full understanding
with the Republicans iD the Senate: that
hen the Republicans in the Honse an
nounced it would not be their policy TO
assist the Democrats in perfecting the
tariff bill and in interfering with

advice of the Republicans in the Senate.
who gave them 10 understand when
the bill reached them they would refuse
to IN terfere unless they could defeat the
measure on the final passage. The Re-
publican Senators are wary of any express
sion at this time which will give the ma
jOrity clew to their programme. They
simply assert that the Wilson bill will not
be rushed pellmell through the Senate.
At Tie same time there is not Republican
Senator who does not openlyeadmit that
the chances for the success of his party

easier by leaving the work of tariff reform
entirely 10 the majority.
