THE PICTURE OF THE MONK.


The number of visitors to the Art Asso-
cations exhibit is increasing. The legacy
has brought it more into notice and peo-
pie are taking renewed interest in the
work of the association. There ere some
very fine pictures in the collection, which
students and those who love pictures will
find to he a pleasure and a benefit. In the
Richards alcove will be found the finest
picture in the exhibit. 1t is THE Hour OF
Prayer" 1t is valued at $500 The time
is evening. The life-size figure of monk
occupies the center of the canvas. The
walls are so dark that they can scarcely
be discerned. little above the figure is
the outline of a window. Coming through
the window is the light, which Is so often
shed over the world by the moon, only a
few nights old. This light falls on the
monk, who is kneeling at low desk or prize.
deu His body is covered by the gray OK
the monks robe and the cowl has Just
fallen back from his half-shaven head. Ills
hands are clasped and suspended from his
fingers are his beads. There is devotion IN
the attitude and the expression cargs,t ny
the artist shows that the monk is COM
pletely absorbed, every thought concS l.
trated in the prayer: The quality OF the
material is admirably depicted. II is OF
only color TO light the whole is that OF a
dark red cloth which is thrown over the prize
dieu., The light makes the paid place on ON
seen on a bald head there are a few soft:
fine hairs. The reddish hair of the beard
covers the entire lower part or the race.
The flesh is like flesh and the whole inquire
stands out from the canvas. This is the
picture which won the Munich medal.
The middle-aged visitor TO the present arr
exhibit will find message from the old
homestead in the alcove adorned by Childe
Hassam's charming water coors. This
artist who is president of the New York
Water Color Society, appeals not to the
taste of the rising generation, fed with the
orchid and American beauty, but to those
who have begun to value the treasures of
memory. Coming suddenly upon the row Of
pictures painted in Celia Thaxter's garden,
such a one feels a warm glow at the heart
as he finds himself surrounded by holly
hooks poppies lilies, blue larkspur and a
myriad of old-time favorites. Not lilies
and popies painted in vase. or artistically
laid upon a modern table but a whole will
derness in which you can roam at your viii
and dream of almost forgotten joys.

Grand Jury Yesterday, the Num-
Der Of Gases Not Justifying One.

Yesterday, for the first time in GOOD
many years, Ohio county failed to have
a grand jury meet upon the day desig-
mated by law.
The reason assigned was that the
number of cases pending was small, the
infractions of law comparatively unim-
portant, and that therefore the summon
ing of a jury was scarcely justifiable.
The Criminal Court met in due form,
and the announcement that there would
be no grand jury was made. Judge HUI
gus then called up the cases of Nellie
White, Georgia Frank, Mollie Fleming,
Eiiie Earle, Lucy Belmont and NADIA
line HOrnbroOk, indicted by the last
grand jury for keeping houses of i'll
fame. Pleas Of guilty were entered at
that time, but sentence was suspended
on condition that the defendants vacate
the premises occupied by them by the
first day of the next term-yesterday
When the cases were called yesterday,
the defendants were still in possession
and fines of $40 and costs and jail SEN
fences Of sixty days each were imposed
upon the defendants. These women
are all located in a small territory on
Eoff street, and their presence having
become very Objectionable to some of
the residents and property owners in
the locality, they have been arrested a
number of times in an effort 10 force
them to leave. The long term Of i'm
Nv "a Y
terday will probably end their careers
in that particular portion of the city.
The women were sent to Jail at once
but later were allowed to go to their
houses, under guard, to give orders for
the removal of their goods. Last night
the furniture, ETC., was packed up and
will be placed in storage until the jail
sentences have been served.
A new trial was awarded in the case
of State V. d. Goodfriend.

OIL NEWS.

The L. c. Wilson well on the John
c. Parker farm, below Friendly, is
down about 400 feet. This we'll is To-
Gated 100 feet west of a line connecting
the Parker No. 1 with the Sweeney
and. Fairfax well, and is nearly mid
way between them. Charley Duel is
interested in the we'll, and expects to
get a heavier producer than either of
the other wells near it. Mr.. Duel has
been instrumental in having seven
wells drilled in the immediate vicinity
OF Friendly, and Of the seven only two
are producers.
The Mahan well on Sugar creek,
that the Victor Oil Company is drill
ing by the side of the Cow Run sand
we'll that they lost by cave, is just to
The sand and has some oil. This we'll
is confidently expected to be a paying
producer in the shallow sand, as it is
but ten feet from the other hole, which
when drilled in flowed oil at the rate
of abou. 80 barrels a day.
Business is extremely brisk in the
neighbOrhoOd of the Dye-Brooks well.
Derricks are going up and new locations
are being made almost daily. The Ok
ford Oil Company have their Grimm
No. 1 started to drilling and have made
another location on the Franks farm
on Sheets Run which they expect to
drill at once.
The timbers are on the ground for
rig on the Markly farm, three-quarters
of a mile southwest of the Dye-BrOOks.
This is thought by many TO be intended
only as an occupancy of their lease by
the Kanawha Oil Company, as their
lease on the property is anteceded by
one that Jake Markly, brother OF the
owner of the land, claims to hold. The
contest is not likely to reach the dig
nifty of law suit, as those who are in
position TO know say that the old
lease is invalid.
The direction from the Dye-Brooks,
in which the richest strikes will be
made. must. of course. remain for
time undetermined. but the most pop
ular stuff at present is that which lies
southwest of the we'll. Despite all the
plasible theories that are advanced, the
oil business still has a delightful spice
OF uncertainty in il.
The heavy rainfall of the past few
days will be an impetus to drilling, as
in many parts of the fields water for
boilers was becoming scarce. The well
on the Tom Mckay farm, in the Sis
tersville field. that was shut down for
lack of water, has resumed drilling and
will be completed in a few days
The territory around the Shawnee
well, on McKim. in Peasants county,
was the scene of a lively scramble
among leasers last Saturday. A very
few foams were not leased that lay near
the we'll and as usual, when anything
good is in sight, lots of people were af-
ter them. Three different leasers were
on the grounds, each with a determine
ton to stay to the finish.
The we'll drilled by the Sistersville
Oil Company on the Neff and Laff
farm at New Castle came in yesterday
good for twenty-five barrels a day.
The Colerain well was not shot yes
terday as per programme published in
morning paper. 1t was the intention
to shoot it, but for some reason best
known TO the owners, it was not done.
Last night it was given out that the
we'll would be shot to-day.

No LONG cAnEpAIaN WANTED.

The Republican managers are credit
ed with an intention to hold their next
national convention in May, with the
idea that a longer campaign is advis-
able and viii he popular. The Albany
Argus is correct, We believe. in setting
down this idea as most erroneous. The
popular tendency and desire is shorter
campaigns. not longer ones.
The business men especially dislike
long and prouacted campaigns, with
their destruction to business, esuange-
ment Of neighbors. especially in smaller
communities, and their excitement and
uncertainty. The growth and wide cir
culation Of the newspaper has made
stump speaking an obsolescent if not
an obsolete form of political education,
and the liking for long campaigns with
much "spellbinding" has largely passed
away with the necessity for it.
In a certain sense, that political party
is wisest which keeps up year round
campaign of education and a permanent
organization.
One Of the great secrets of the
strength and prolonged life Of Tam
many Hall, for example, has been that
it is always in fighting trim and never
lets its organization die down. A two
months hustle just before election can
not be effective if the party has become
demoralizd and disintegrated during
the other ten months.
But the most effective campaign is
the sober. intelligent, day by day ap-
peals to the reason Of the people by a
respected press. That campaigning,
supplanted by creditable administra-
tions when the party is in power, is a
campaign Of education and a platform
in itself
The day of the practical politician, 3"
with his use of money, is, with the
spell-binder. passing. In time ne must
give way altogether to the more credit
able and more effective campaign
methods of the present which appeal
to the intelligence and the conscience
