them this table has been made. The
lower part of the table is rough hewn,
representing his homely and inartistic
body, but the top of the table is of fine
black marble and highly polished.
Upon the marble slab is inscribed a
verse by Whittier, which is as follows;
:. Let man be free: the mighty word
He. spake was not his own;
The spirit of the highest stirred
His mortal lips alone"
There are a couple of chairs and a
cooking stove used by the Lincoln
family in their Springfield home, also a
black walnut cradle in which Lincoln's
children were rocked. Indeed one of
Mrs. Lincoln's relatives told me she
had often seen Lincoln with his foot on
the cradle reading his paper. That
Lincoln was great baby-lover we all
know, for have we not all heard from
our fathers and mothers many story
of his kindness to and fondness for the
little ones. In this collection are more
than thousand volumes upon the life
OF Lincoln, and collection of recollec-
tions of him, written by request, by his
personal friends. The hat worn by
Lincoln on the night of his assassina-
ton is here under glass case. 1t has
band of Grape around it, put there at
the death of his child, Willie, which had
occurred at the white house only a
short time before. Upon the very spot
where Lincoln died stands the chair oc-
cupied by him at the theater.
To some persons the speeches made
by Lincoln would no doubt be the
most interesting part of the collection.
This collection of speeches is said to be
absolutely complete, every speech he
ever made from the beginning to the
end of his life. The building is open
every day and will no doubt be visited
by thousands of interested people.

of the previous exhibition. The work
seems to be taking broader scope, and
showing wider art feeling on the part of
the workers than heretofore. In the list of
exhibitors there are many evidences of
definite improvement on the part of indi-
vidual artists.
e The pictures reproduced herewith are
among the very many strong works sent
sent in. L. f. Latimers 1.-THE Edge of
the Woods is an excellent specimen of
the style of work which Latimer partic-
larly affects. 1t seems as though he never
would be satisfied unless he were painting
trees of some kind Besides this he has
sent in ''The Foothills Near Santa Rosa"
and "a Morning in the Redwoods." Two
are watercolors and the last in oil, which
is probably as good thing as Latimer has
ever done. If it is hung in a light that
will bring it out it is pretty sure to attract
attention.
Amedee Joullin has sent a very clever
thing, painted across the bay, which he
calls alameda Sand-dunes." His other
picture, 1.-THE Presidio Sand-dunes, " is very
good. Upon Joullin's testimony it is
possible to state that there are more differ
ent kinds of sand around San Francisco

vicinity. Last week workmen began exca-
waiting upon it's site for a building and
when they had cut it down and removed a
portion of it's roots curious and CHASTITY
sight was revealed. Embedded in fork Of
the roots, which had partially circled
around it, were human skull and verte-
brn, attached to which were but three RIB
and the left arm. The rest OF the skeleton
YVES missing, says the New York Press.
Through the skull, just back of the eyes,
a bayonet had penetrated, going entirely
through the head and protruding about
two inches. Lying near the hand was the
frame of flintlock dueling pistol, eaten
with rust, but with the charge still unex-
ploded. The skull, as all such uncanny
things are, was CHASTITY and grinning
The ghoulish effect was heightened by the
appearance of the upper jaw, portion OF
which had evidently been shot away.
The discovery was sufficient to collect
a knot of curious workmen, who examined
what was left of the skeleton with great
interest. How it had come there in that
shape is a question that will probably never
be answered. Had there been duel, a
battle, murder, or what2
sGlad didn't meet that on the lonely
road of dark night" said one OF the
crowd. Guess, I'd have sprinted."
All day long the CHASTITY find remained
on the bank of the excavation as if curious
over the changed aspect of the landscape.
Its presence made some of the workmen
uncomfortable. They believed in spirits,
and thought the thing might attract band
of its associates. At night a workman,
Thomas Mack, an unbeliever in the I'M
canny. took it to his home on Seventh
avenue. 1t adorns his mantel-piece, where
its beauty is enhanced during darkness by
two glowing orbs of phosphorescenee.

sent three very clever things. One is por-
trait, another 1.-THE Day After" and the
third an oil study of boy. Of the three
the one reproduced is the most effective,
although very small.
Miss Isabella Morrison, who is one of the
daintiest workers in the city, and young
lady whose ability and energy promise
well for her future and work, is sending a
very effective canvas called I'm the Gar
den" Miss Morrison has modestly con-
tented herself with one picture, but from
that one there is good reason to believe
that the artist is making good progress.
Arthur T. Mathews has sent two clever
portraits, but being out of feeling with his
larger canvas at which he has been work
ing concluded not to send it, although all
his fellow artists who saw it liked the can
vas. Keith's landscapes are as strong as
ever, while Thomas Hill seems rather will
ing to let his pictures go without that care
full working out which characterizes much
of his earlier work. In color he is as bril-
liant as ever.
John A. Stanton has surprised many OF
his friends by the work he has sent which
shows decided progress and improvement.
Oscar Kunath, Miss Sarah e. Bender, Mrs.
A. B. Chittenden, Emil Pissis, Mrs. NJ.
Richardson and Others have all sent strong
canvases. Miss Lou Walls Frightening
Brass is excellent.
1t is more than likely that the hanging
committee will have nearly 200 pictures on
their hands to cline" or ''sky," according
to their judgment, and as, in common
with every other hanging committee in the
world, they feel satisfied that they cannot
please everybody they have concluded to
do the best they can and rely on Provi-
dence and the public for approval.

Stone, room Z, Flood Building, San Fran
cisco, Cal.-DEAR SIR: In the matter of
the Fittz cure for alcoholism you may use
my name all you wish. I have watched
the effects of the treatment on some very
bad cases, and the results have been mar
veIous In my opinion it is the only cure
for that disease. Not only will it cure. the
inebriate, but it will build up the constitu-
ton, strens then the brain and nervous sys-
tenn and take away the i'll effects that
whisky generally leaves behind it.
You may refer any one to me and I will
gladly answer all inquiries. Since it made
such a complete and perfect cure of the
numerous cases that have come under my
observation / believe it will cure any one,
and / feel that l am doing good work in
making it known to others.

CURRY'S LAST DISCOVERY
Thousands of Dollars Lost to
the School Fund by
Neglect.
Collateral Inheritance
Tax.

County Clerk Curry says he has discov-
cred another shortcoming in the admin
istration of his predecessor, M. C. Haley,
whereby the State has lost at least half
million dollars, and probably more. 1t
is in connection with the inheritance tax OF
the probate department.
On March %, 1893, law was passed and
approved by the State Legislature estab-
fishing tax on collateral inheritance. By
this law tax of per cent was placed on
all requests left to persons other than a
mother, father, brother, sister, wife or
child. to the husband of daughter or the
widow of a son.
Therefore property left to an institution,
or to person other than those
named, must pay per cent of the amount
into the school fund. The County Clerk
must keep a record of all such requests
and make quarterly reports to the Treas
urer, who in turn makes his report to the
Comptroller of State.
Mr.. Curry says that no reports were
made by his predecessor for nearly a
year, as required by law, and the only
reports that were made at all are partial
and incorrect
So Mr.. Curry has to put extra men to
work to dig up the estates that escaped the
5-per-cent tax.
Deputy Clerk Northrop has been work
ing on the books for some time, and has
discovered much irregularity. He finds
that the ]. G. Wilmerding estate owes the
State taxes amounting to $4,000 The
/ Miranda Lux estate has escaped paying a
like amount. There is $45 900 coming from
the estate of Jose V. de Laveaga and $4,000
| from Sigmund M. Thannhauser. Smaller
amounts are due from the estates of John
| S. Doe and others, making in all about
$4,000 up to date, with the prospects of
| there being double as much more when
the books have been thoroughly over
| hauled.
1.-THE tax on the estates that have not
been reported" said Mr.. Curry, twill
amount to $500, 900 at the lowest calcula-
| ton, and there is no knowing how much
beyond that sum the discrepancy will go.
The manner in which this department has
been run is only another indication OF how
loosely the affairs of the whole office have
been administered during the last two
years. / propose to make full investiga-
ton of this whole matter and make these
estates that have been allowed to escape
paying all this money come to time.
81 do not believe in running the office on
cheap principle and allow thousands of
dollars to escape collection. The law dis
tinctly states that reports of the values of
these taxable estates must be made once
every three months. This has not been
done at all. There has been gross neglect
some place, and l propose to put the re-
sponsibility on the right shoulders"
