CHICAGO, July l3.-Prcndergast was

A hush fell upon the throng in the
corridor of the Jail when he was brought
to the scaflold. He was pale and
unsteady as his arms were being pin

to die game and looked calmly out on
the assembled crowd below him. A
white shroud was next placed about
him and. airing little restless motion
OF his eyes up, down and from side to
side, he made no motion.
Jailer Morris then placed the rope
about his neck, the white cap was drawn
over his head and Prendergast had taken
his last look of earth. In an instant
later he was shot downward, his head
twisted to one side, the neck having ap
parently been broken.

FINE PAINTINGS.
Two Works Of Art On Exhibition
Here


b. II. Cosby, the jeweler, has on ex-
hibition in his show window on Patton
avenue, two paintings, the work of Mrs.
Barchus Of the Pacific coast, whose
work is rated very high by the Academy
of Design of New York. One Of the paint
ings represents Mt. Tacoma at sunset
and is vivid and beautiful portrayal Of
its grand scenery. Its coloring, while
seeming unnatural to residents of the
east on account Of it's vividness. is sim.
ply perfect to those who are familiar
with the sunsets OF the far west. One OF
the visitors of the city, who has visited
Tacoma, remarked yesterday that the
painting was almost startling in its
truthfulness to the real scenery.
The second painting is scene on the
Sacramento with Mt. Shasta in the dis
tance, and is almost a match to the
first one. The glimpse of the Sacra
mento is almost poetic in it's beauty. The
paintings were put on exhibition by Mrs
Cornwell of 1863 Haywood.
There is third painting, not ex
hibited, which represents Mt. Tacomt
at noon is that as perfect as the sunse
scene.

CONTINUANCE In WE'LL. DOING.
Dean Watson Extois the building of
Chriattan Character bx Ffrnuea..

At Trinity parish church yesterday Rev.
George Herbert Watson, ID. d., spoke
upon Character, and chose his text
from ST. Paal's Epistle to the Ephesians.
1851 thank my God for every re-
niembranee of you, for your fellowship in
the Gospel from the first day until now
being confident OF this very thing. that
lie which hath begun good work in you
will perform 1t until the day of Jesus
Christ"
DIR. Watson said that the lesson ever
taught, not only by ST. Paul, but by the
world. is character gained by steadfast-
ness. The faithful clerk and trusted ac-
countant each has learned the lesson well.
The unswerving purpose, the steady aim
and the soul content TO do its duty wher-
ever its lot may be cast, tell nightly in
the scale of all human affairs, and often
succeed where wit and talent fail. Said
the preacher:
IF these in the world, why not in the
things OF God? Shall fidelity in all else
count for everything. and success be de-
pendent upon continuance in well-doing?'
and shall ws look for q good harvest, tor
golden results. either in the individual or
in the corporate life Of Christianity, with
out this same steadfasIness. a putting of
the hand TO the plow and never looking
back, choosing between two things
which we Will serve? Weak we may be,
but We need not he tickle. Powerless of
ourselves TO help ourselves we surely are;
but when the good beginning has been
made, when without effort we find our
selves surrounded by the thousand helps
OF Christian civilization to lead new
l.fe, what excuse is there for our failure to
follow on with Christi"
All experience, the rector said. should
teach that God looks for character, and for
q well-defined goodness among those who
have for years been members of His family;
that while He Is ever looking for prodigals
and stands ready TO forgive all sins, even
il they number seventy times seven, still
He looks for converted life as we'll as a
changed heart; while from those who by
His grace have daily fed at their Fathers
table and never walloged in the mire, He
looks for some sign of the transformation
that grace has effected In the soul. DIR.
Watson said:
Look about you, and as you see a saint
of God steadily ascending the hills of inn
mortality YOU know II is because of faitn-
tul continuance. not special grace. that he
is surely making his way TO the abiding
peace and light OF the city OF God"

DIR. Nutting's First sermon on Return
ing TO His Pulpit.

Rev. Wallace Nutting. ID. D., pastor OF
the First Congregational church, was in
his pulpit yesterday for the first time since
August lie had Just returned from a
1900 mile trip in pursuit of health, having
been as far East as Maine. Mr. Sutting
is much improved, and came back TO his
labors with renewed vigor. The subject of
his discourse was 'Restlessness,n and was
developed from the text, Return unto
thy rest, o my SOUL" taken from Psalm
cxvi:T.
DIR. Nutting prefaced his remarks by
speaking upon the coaveniences OF ciyiliza-
tion and by pointing GU. that modern in
vention has made man even more restless
than of old. The age requires a return of
Christ. The Son OF Man, he said, has
somehow lost the place that properly be-
longs TO a subject OF the Prince of Peace.
The multiplicity OF the contrivances Of
civilization would harrow q mans soul

that Christian can possess his soul ia
