A PLACE IN THE SALON,
The Famous Art Institute
HonorS the Deaf-Mute,
Seymour Redmond.
His Success Began With His Studies
in the Local School of
Design.

Seymour Redmond's painting, ga Win
ter Scene on the Seine" has been accepted
by the directors of the new salon of the
Champs de Mars, at Paris, and will be ex-
hibited at the session of the salon, which
opens tomorrow.
The central figure of the picture is an
old barge, which rises and falls lazily at
the end of huge hawsers, by which it is
moored to the quay. In the distance can
be dimly discerned through the mists of
the river the rambling structures of that
part of Paris which lies along the Seine.
A mantle of snow covers the landscape
and lends an air of enchantment to the
scene. More than 5000 pictures were pre-
sented, but of this number only 500 were
accepted by the directors. Critics speak
highly of Redmond's work and predict a
brilliant future for him.
Seymour Redmond is a deaf-mute, %
years of age, ana obtained his education at
the Berkeley Deaf and Dumb Institute
He is the son of B. G. Redmond of Los
Angeles.
Redmond entered the San Francisco
School of Design in 1890 and continued his
art studies, as well as his regular course in
the Berkeley Institute, till December, 1898.
He then obtained the W. E. Brown gold
meQaI Tor the pest general average Tor the
year in the life class and shortly thereafter
went to Paris. Upon his arrival in Paris
he entered the Julian Academy and at the
end of his first months study received an
honorable mention"
From the time of his entering Julian's
Academy Redmond's advancement was
regular and rapid. His studies were not
confined to painting, but he has devoted
considerable time and close attention to
modelling. None of this work has been
thrust forward for honors, but competent
critics declare it to be of very high order.
The training he received in the local
School of Design was of great help to him,
and every favorable opportunity has been
taken by his teachers in Paris to perfect
the genius they could discern in him.
The young artist has been supported
during his course of study in the Julian
Academy by the postgraduate fund of the
BerkeleY Deaf and Dumb Institute

STOCKTON IS SATISFIED,
The Valley Road Directors AC-
Cept It's Railway Agree
ment.
GUARANTEE TO BUILD A ROAD.
They VIII Make a Tour of the San
Joaquin Valley Next
Week.

A delegation from the Stockton Com
mercial Association conferred with the
board of directors of the San Francisco
and San Joaquin Valley Railway yester-
day in this City in regard to the agreement
through which the railway gets $10O, 900
and rights of way from Stockton harbor
through that city and thence to the line of
Stanislaus County free and the enterpris-
ing people of San Joaquin's capital receive
a guarantee of a competing railroad from
San Francisco through Stockton to Kern
County.
The agreement was considered by the
committee and board during the afternoon.
Some changes were made to suit both
parties to the contract, and finally the
agreement was unanimously accepted.
All that now remains to be done with it is
to write out document including the new
clauses and without the rejected ones, so
that clean paper may be presented for
signatures of the directors and the Stock
ton committee.
President Claus Spreckels and Directors
Watt and Payson, who returned from the
San Joaquin Valley to attend the meeting
yesterday. said they were very deeply i'm
pressed with the condition of affairs all
along the route.
In Hanford and Visalia they were taken
by surprise at the wonderful development
and the evidences of energy, enterprise
and prosperity visible on all sides. The
vicinities of Bakersfield and Fresno like
wise gave them much encouragement for
prosperous future for the competing rail-
way.
1--WE found a land teeming with milk
and honey" said Director Robert Watt.
Everywhere in the San Joaquin Valley
the land can be made to blossom and give
| forth riches, and only water is needed for
the change. Water can be got toward the
east side just as well as in the west. In
| fact, it is an exceedingly fine country
| to the east and west, but we can
not run railroad zigzag to tap it all.
We want to see where we will run the
| line"
The other directors will go down the val
| ley in few days and make an inspection
of the country lying south of the Stanis-
laus River, and when they return some
action will be taken on the route to Bak-
| erSfield.

the work of Miss Anna Elizabeth Klumpke
of this city, and bore the title "a Genre
Scene in Melita."
Melita is the classical name for the island
of Malta, and the artist who has con-
tributed with such honor to the fame of
Malta's simple but picturesque charms be-
longs to that class of American artists con-
corning whom George William Sheldon,
the famous Paris critic, said only few
months ago in letter to San Francisco
artist friend: "The strong and special
charm OF simplicity of purpose, the honesty
not warped by the supposed demands of a
public taste, the personal and intimate
sentiment of the real and the love of per-
lection in workmanship characterize their
work and have profound and perfect
value in the enrolling influence which
their work is exercising upon our social
life.'
Miss Klumpke was born in San Fran
cisco in 1856 and is daughter of John G.
Klumpke, retired merchant residing at

RAISING THE GRADE.
Construction Work Soon to Be Resum ID
on Folsom Street.

Construction Work Soon to Be Resumed
Folsom Street.
Work on the Folsom-street electric road
has been SO long delayed that rumors have
been going around to the effect that the
franchise had been or was about to be
abandoned by the Market-street Railway
Company, which suddenly withdrew its
construction force on the street some four
or five months ago without any apparent
reason.
Secretary Willcutt was seen yesterday
relative to the rumored abandonment, and
made the following explanation:
"There has not been at any time propo-
sition to abandon the franchise. AS a
matter of fact we are going on with the
work as rapidly as possible. A little over
four months ago we struck a heavy grade
which extends for nearly two blocks be-
tween Fourth and Sixth streets. 1t is
necessary to raise the grade all the way
from eight inches to four and half feet,
and of course the work was turned over to
the City. The raising of the grade has
progressed slowly since we quit work, and
at the present rate of speed will require
about month yet for completion. When
it is done we shall at once resume the con.
struction of this road with large force
and push the thing on to finish with all
possible haste.

back, and a moment later it looked as if
every newsboy in town was climbing the
golden stairs. The air was filled with
newsboys and newspapers But in the
descent the boys fell as softly as the
papers from all the harm that appeared
to be done. Then one little ''donk'
had to get on the track and
investigate the life-saving rollers on
the cars. A McAllister- street car was
Just coming off the turn table, and the
gripman's gong annoyed the Gaelic canary
beyond endurance. The burro looked over
his right aural pendant, judged to hair
the approach of the dummy, and then let
fly his hind feet The dashboard of the
car was broken in, but, as the. gripman
tersely remarked! 1.-THE car didn't do a
thing to that donkey"
The burro was rolled about ten feet
away, but he quickly. scrambled to his
aggregation of feet, and surveyed the Nc
Allister-street car with rueful aspect. The
collision seemed to take the fun out of the
hill tribe, and the burros suffered them
selves to be led aboard the creek boat with
out BRAY.

She went to Paris, in 1880, and entered
Julian's Academy. There she studied
under Messieurs Tony Robert Fleury,
Bougereau and De Vuillefroy and received

she won an Honorable Mention" at the
Salon and in 1889 third-class medal at the
Universal Exposition and the Temple Gold

Among her best portraits is that of her

artists.

Specimens of the white marble which

cube successfully resisted pressure of

specimen is preserved which cracked only
under the enormous pgessure of over
