This is the greatest showing the STATE JoUR-

any six months in It's history.
This is a greater figure than was reached BY
any daily paper in Topeka for the year 1884.

The boast of the Topeka Capital that it pays

ART NOTES

The art..gallery at the chamber OF COM
MERGE was reopened last evening. after
having been closed for week. Many OF
the old canvases are gone, and number
of new and some very interesting ones
are in their places.
Among the latter are three interesting
pictures by Fred L. Heath, one large and
two smaller ones. The treatment in all
is very much the same; they all represent
water dashing onto the shore, ana tne SKY
in each is lowering with heavy clouds, e1-
cept in one broken spot through wnlcn
the blue sky is seen.
But for the monotony OF composition
the skies are all we'll done, and the water
is wet and full of life and action.
The rocky cliffs in the large picture are
painted. but the fairgrounds in the otner
two are handled with more skill.
Mrs. Bond and Mrs. Stevens have
transferred some of the best of their work
that was exhibited in a down town nal!
last week to the gallery. and The head OF
Chinaman by Mrs. Bond, and Mrs. Ste
vens' landscape represent both ladles at
their best.
]. Bond Francisco shows an extremely
clever wood interior that was described
when seen on his easel some weeks ago.
1t has not before been placed on public
view, but it loses none OF Its interest," nor
its strength in the change OF location.
The sun is just as brilliant, the
shadows lust as cool and transparent;
the deep green's and their tender contrast
ing lighter shades show the deft handling
of an artist who knows both what he
wants to do and how to do it.
Another of Mr.. Francisco's canvases is
a bit OF sea coast with the waves rolling
onto the sands that are cleaning in a
warm sunlight.
Charles Ward has three canvases, which
show versatility and much cleverness IN
subject and execution.
II. G. Nichols has a very impression
istic peach orchard in blossom.
Some noticeable still life's are glass
bowl filled with the stickiest kind OF
honey in the comb, in which the textures
are we'll preserved. A branch OF plums
and another of persimmons by Miss Nye,
who has produced Il good effect with her
fruit, but her background in each obtrudes
itself unwarrantably.
Miss Coan has brilliant new canvas OF
Eschscholtzias. in which the compost
ton is easy and graceful and the satiny
surface of the petals is well brought out.
Neither Mrs. s. III. Jordan nor Miss
Regina O'kane are represented, which Is
a bad thing for the association. Their
work is so much superior to some that is
there, it is pity that all the strangers
VINO will visit the gallery next week
should not have seen examples OF a OF
the best members. II. Nj. Z.
