LYNN, Mass, Dec 1s-Mrs. Hattie L.
Hammond, the divorced wifo OF Gideon
w. Lattimer. the man whc was fatally
shot by Annie NJ. Brewer, will be promi-
nent witness I'm behalf of Miss Brewer.
She states that the murdered man was al
ways of ugly disposition. At one time he
threatened her life with "A revolver, and
was only prevented from using It by his
mother knocking IL from his grasp. At
another time he struck her on the head,
stunning her for long time, because she
could not stop hiccoughing when he
wanted her TO. Mrs. Hammond procured
her divorce OH the grounds of adultery.
There has been decided change in pub
lio sentiment, and the story told by Miss
Brewer that the act was done In self-de-
fcnse Is gaining more credence. Miss
Brewer was yesterday held without bail
on the charge of causing the death of

.The Law Of Charity.

NEW YORK, Dec. ls.-Archbishop Corri.
gan yesterday made his regular visit to ST.
Leo's church, of which Rev. Father Ducey
Is pastor. When the mass was over, the
archbishop, much to the surprise Of many,
-afese 10 deliver Ia sermon ON the law of
Charity" THE people of st. Leo's," he
said, "have reason to respect and be proud
of their most reverend priest, and should
hold up his hands In everything he does.
The most reverend priest is "a highly
worthy man, and when calumny attacks
one he should not be affected by 1t. All
good men of the church are at times sub
ject to such misfortunos. and, In such
cases, the only thing they can do is, after
making frank statements, keep silent and
leave the matter in the hands OF the Lord. !"

For first vice president, Mr.. McGuire or
Philadelphia was elected. James Duncan
of Baltimore was made second vice presi-
dent. For third vice president Roady
kenehan OF Denver was elected. Mr..
Eldcrkin was elected fourth vice presi-
dent. A. McCraith of Boston was elected
secretary. For treasurer, John Is. Len
non, present incumbent, was nominated
and elected by acclamation. The two fra
ternai delegates TO be sent 20 the British
trades congress- to be held in Cardiff,
Wales. are Samuel Gompers and Z. j.
Mcclure.
Mr.. Gompers has held the position of
president OF the American Federation since
1852. Until 1885 there was no salary at
tached to the Office. That year it was de-
cided to make the Office n permanent one,
and tho salary was fixed at Sl2JO. This
was raised to $500 i'm 1892.
The mine workers, with 800 votes, were
for Mcbride for personal reasons. The
radical socialist members felt that Com
pers was very strongly opposed TO them,
and the presidents own action during
the convention had done much to defeat
him. He was sick when he carDS here,
and his rulings have been noticeably ar
bitrary and erratic. More than once he
has lost his temper, and occasionally he
has reversed his own rulings. The feeling
generally is friendly TO Gompers.
New York was decided on for the next
meeting Of the federation, defeating st.
Louis by a vote OF 1898 to 55S.

The pictures saved by Mr. Raschen on
his return from Europe are few, still they
give evidence OF industry when he dwelt
at the little village of EZenhausen, near
Munich. EtZen hansen is famous artists
resort in summer. because it is picturesque
and like an illustration from an ancient
Munich manuscript Every house in it
has been painted inside and outside, and
reprinted year after year for many years.
There are artistic qualities in the time

The favorite picture will be exhibited
at tue Midwinter Fair. 1t is close study
from nature OF full-blOOded Holland girl.
The face is shown in profile. while white
Dutch cap covers the head and white
linen scarf covers the shoulders and neck.
This picture has charming deiicacy of
tone about the flesh tints which take On
even the faint reflection from the white
shawl. Favorable criticism may be ex-
pected for this painting.
Speaking of the new method of painting,
Mr.. Raschen is an advocate of what he de-
pics in harmony of cOlOrs. Said he: Col
Ors play into one another. For instance, L
will show you study of a face in green
sunlight-that is, ordinary sunshine in a
shady spot. See, the face is suffused with
green. but it looks perfectly natural.
You will never know how much green
there is in that face until you see living
flesh against H."
The artist put his hand beside the pro-
file protrait and instantly a dark sickly
olive color was apparent oG the face.
Alone this color was natural and fair
enough to look upon. In all his careful
studies this attention for relationship of
color is noticeable One of the best pic
lures saved is life-szed portrait of red
| haired girl dressed in black. The cheeks
are wonderfully bright and rosy indeed,
almost Rubenesque in color. and the hair
has tone over which ladies raved not

they all appear to be good-paying concerns.
That San Francisco has urgent need
OF such a company, organized so as to pro-
vide the Pacific coast with efficient salving
appliances. must be self-evident to any one
who has any know ledge of the salying
work that is 20 be done on this coast or
who is at all familiar with the miserable
failures that attended the bungling at
tempts made at floating that fne steamer
the City of New York, which snow lies a
total wreck on rocks almost within our
very gates, and all for the want of a proper
saving plant and competent man to
use il.
1t is most important that every large
shipping center should possess such ap-
planes, and the commerce and shipping
trade of San Francisco certainly demand
1t. Mr.. WawD, one of the chief engin EEL
ing experts of the London Salvage Com
pany, who is now here in charge of the
repairing of the Miowera, Gays that be has
10 doubt that a salvage company would be
a profitable investment for the sharehOld-
ers aud that the necessary plant could be-
obtained for 100000, not very large sum
considering that nearly that amount of
money was recently FILTERED away in
fruitless attempts TO float the City of New
York.
Within the last few months not only has
the New York been wrecked and the
Miowera stranded and salved. but the
steamers BawDmOTe and Alexandra have
required the services of salv0rs, and the
San Pedro and the GOsford might still be
lifted. A salvage cOmpany's operations
could be extended right down to Chile,

graphed here for assistance, and even

The question of forming salvage asso-
citation in San Francisco has been talked
of a great deal Of late, and has several
tines been discussed inci1en tally at the
meetings Of the local underwriters. Until
comparatively recent years wreck-raising
was a science practically undreamed of,
for formerly when a vessel sank or got
badly spiked OF the rocks she was allowed
to remain until either broken up by the
action of the waves, engulfed by shifting
sands or buried IN the accumulatiDg mud
But now the development of mechanical
science and the use of steam power has
placed in the hands of modern experts
machinery and appliances by which many
fine vessels have been raised and otherwise
rescued from apparently total wrecks and
afterward restored to their places in the
commercial marine
TIE work of wreck-ra raising is generally
undertaken by salvage companies, who
possess mplete wreckiDg plants, diving
equipment and all the requisite machinery
for salying vessels of heavy tonnage.
There are several of these companies in
Europe and in the East who send their
