ADAM AND EVE EXPELLED
Two Paintings Refused by the Art Com
mittce of the Exposition.

OAKLAND OFFICE DAN Il RANClSCO CALL,
908 Broadway, Dec. IA.
During the early part of to-day two
large canvases were covered in the art gal
lery of the exposition. They had been
sent ostensibly for the purposes of exhi-
bition, but as they were declared by ex-
perts to be merely sensual dauhs they were
refused by the executive committee, and
this afternoon they were taken home.
They were painted by Jacob T. Gallman,
who is the senior member OF a firm of car
rage and sign painters. One was repre-
sentation of the Garden of Eden. Eve was
pictured as standing up handing an apple
to Adam, who was sitting down under a
tree. The serpent was in the tree kissing
Into Ewes face. and in the background
were some tropical trees. The coloring
throughout was lurid and according to R..
ID. Iceland, who is on the committee, no
man with the slightest knowledge of art
would have sent such a picture.
Superintendent Sharp said tina. the at
tention of the committee vas called to the
pictures and they were at once ordered to
be turned to the wall. II don't think
Gallman expected they would be ac-
brought them in he said there would be a
few dollars in it if could give them place.
| said | had no authority in the matter
and referred them to the committee. I am
told that the drawing is execrable, and
certainly 1 never saw such figures in my
Hfe.'.
Mr.. Gallman, the artist, is very angry at
the rejection of his pictures. 1.-THE picture
OF Adam and Eve" he said to-day, lis
an exact reproduction of the cut in an old
Bible, and is painted faithfully to the
original.
ut is nude, of course, bnt,I have seen
many pictures far more loud in character
admitted to first-class exhibitions. l have
taken them to my workshop, and will find
some other means to exhibit them"
The second picture sent by Mr.. Gallman
was painting, the original of which is
based on the romance of Constance de
Beverley. 1t represents q nun who had
ESCAPED from convent and was recap
tured, on trial before tribunal of monks.
One OF the monks is In the act OF tearing
her cloak off her and revealing con-
siderable portion of the figure. 1t was
considered by the committee to be no more
work of art than Adam anu Eve, and
was also rejected.

How Would rha, Help youq"

Free coinage would mako the silver
mine owners rich. How would that help
you?
Fifty cent dollars will enable debtors
to pay their creditors III deprecated
money. As You are M honest citizen,
how would that help you:
The adoption Of the silver standard,
which is what the free coinage advocates
really want, would drive 5000, 600, 600
of gold out of the country. How would
that help you?
Putting the country on a silver basis
would double tho price of everything
you buy. How would that help you?
Tho first result of free coinage would
be widespread panic, through tho call
ing i'll Of loans by lenders who were
afraid Of cheap money, a panic means
business depression, bankruptcy and
poverty. How would that holp you?
The agitation for cheap money is
hampering trade and industry by max
ing owners Of idle capital afraid to in
vest their money i'll business. How docs
that help you:
ii You havo money IN tho savings
bank, OF loaned out at interest, the val
nc OF your deposit or loan will under
free silver be only half of what it is
now. How Will that help you;
Adopting the silver standard of China
and India would unscttlo our trade rola-
tions with the leading commercial ma
tions, which are all gold standard couu-
tries, and would diminish our foreign
commerce. How would that help you?
