A GRAND WORK OF ART.
PopeeI's Great Masterpiece "Atter the
storm" Mt A. saks 4 Compnnys store

Messrs. A. Saks & Co. are preparing
an artistic treat for their friends ana
customers that is bound TO be appreciate
by all who WIFI enjoy the privilege Oh
viewing IL. The world-famous painting
bv the great Polish artist Ihadeus TO
piel. recently purchased by MI Andrew
Saks. will in a day or two. be placed OH
exhibition on the second floor OF the s'oio
of that firm i'm this city
The picture. which is entitled After the
Storm" attracted universal attention al
the Worlds Fair, and was catalosued
there as worth $1,000.
Messrs A. Saks x Co, who are wen
known for doing things well, nave had
this mammoth picture mounted In the
handsomest and best manner FOR SHOW
ing off its beautiful effects. They VIII
show II TO the public in day or two
under proper restrictions. as TO numbers
and they will deserve the thanks OF the
public for such a pleasing and education
al exhibition.
A recent description of the picture
says
So much of the higher order OF art seeks
expression in imaginative scenes ana lueal
conceptions which require an artist nina
TO grasp that the commonplace scene
Popiel has chosen for his subject APP
peals most strongly to the appreciation
of everybody.
During the Chicago Fair there was no
picture in all that vast collection that
attracted the attention as did After
the Storm" Hundreds and thousands OF
people were touched by its truthfulness
10 nature, and back they went again ana
again TO stand before this wordess story.
The artist is a Polander, so knowledge
of the place and people. the conditions
under which the peasantry live have
guided this hand of genius.
The scene represents a peasant farm-a
barren, stubbly- looking field that looks
as If IL would have TO be coaxed TO yield
any return TO the tiller. But care and
hard work had grown a tolerably healthy
crop Of rye. almost ripe and ready Tor
the sickle. But the angry. hurrying wind
and the destroying deluge OF rain and
hail descended and laid the grain level
with the ground. What must have been
the feelings of those poor peasants, when
the messenger of ruin had passed away?
Here is where Popiel picks up the story.
With master strokes ne gives TO the face
OF the man a look of utter disconsola-
ton. He looks at nothing-heeds moth
ing-but the wreck before him. The
wife. just behind her husband. is playing
her part so true to nature. Hers Is
look OF sympathy born of love and duty.
She knows what the loss means. But
she recalls the pride with which her
lord and master has watched the green
grow into the golden tingc Of ripeness.
His disappointment is her greatest sor-
rom. Grandpa" and the two children
OF the family are standing apart from
the others. their Countenances mirroring
their feelings.

The stock exchange since the holi-

but other securities have been de-
manded in certain directions only
when business has been realizing
profits. Prices have been generally
depressed. The Spanish markets have
been weak because of the Cuban

grant the Armenian reforms has kept
the foreign market extremely dull.
South American securities have been
