 Boston, May 6.--The golden anniyer. sary of the marriage of Rev. pr. D. P and Mrs. Mary A. Livermore was ob. served this afternoon at their home on Emerson street, Melrose, in a manner befitting so notable an event. It was intended to have no public recognition of the day, but the worldwide reputa- ton of Mrs. Livemore, lecturer and philanthropist, made it impossible to observe her first wishes in the matter and so arrangements were made to re- ceive a thousand of her neighbors and intimate friends.
 Then came announcements from so- cieties and organizations with which she is connected that they proposed at- tending by hundreds, and the anticipa- ton of a gathering of at least 2,0O0 was morethan realized, On the piazza and law in front of the house were great masses of towering plants, and the rooms were mass of roses, all the con- tributions of friends.

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-16

Whether or not they will receive any ade-
quate encouragement from Californians is
to be seen. That they deserve it is admit
ted by the most competent authorities on
the subject. A glance at the life class in
the Hopkins Art School shows so much at
first that it is hard to determine where to
begin to pick winners; that is, students
whose work promises to make reputation
for this State in both national and inter-
national art circles.
The boys life class at the school is larger
now than it ever has been before. The
work is stronger and more complete, more
finished and more correct than it ever has
been. There are pupils from all over the
country, and there is more than one ma
tionality represented. Each mans work
tells to some extent the story of his hopes
and ambitions, and when one considers
that this talent, with its attendant desires,
is nodded by one man, so far as technical
instruction is concerned, it is possib BILE
to appreciate in some degree the duties of
Arthur F. Mathews, the Instructor of the
life class.
So far as the discipline of an ordinary
school is concerned there is little visible.
The model poses and the students study
from such points of vantage as seems best

class study and he is one of the promising
students Of the life class. Robert Mckee,
whose study shows the strongest kind of
work, promises well. ]. Martinez, native
of the southern country adjoining the
United States, is especially strong in COM
position. J. M. Raphael, last years med
alist of the class, promises as a colorist
more than ought reasonably to be expected
from any student of so young school as
that to which he belongs
The scheme upon which the life class of
the Hopkins Art School is working is dis
tlnctly- modern. There was time when
1t was deemed necessary for the art student
whether he had or had not ability, to go
through the long and disagreeable routine
OF the antique class before it was permitted
him to even catch glimpse of the sacred
precincts of the life class. As result, the
student, no matter how able, tired of
lights, shades and proportions, and often
gave up in disgust. There is no doubt that
artists were lost to the world by such a
method.
In the Hopkins Art School the newer
system is in vogue MIR. Mathews assumes
and he has the weight of authority on his
side, that to the student fairly well
grounded, the antique class is, barring
differences of memory, as difficult as the
life class. AS a consequence, the student
who enters the Hopkins school. after
having passed a preparatory ANTIQUE
course, comes at once into the life class
and 1t is more than reasonable to suppose
that to this method is due much of the ex-
cellence of the work of the present life
class at the Hopkins Art School.

FIREBUGS WERE At WORK.
AN ATTEMPT MADE TO SET FIRE
TO A MINNA-STREET LoDG-
ING-HOUSE.
THE PROPRIETOR CHARGES JAMES
MEEHAN AND HIS Son WITH
THE CRIME.

Fire Marshal Towe and Detective Hand
ley are busily engaged in investigating a
bold attempt at arson which was made
Thursday evening in Peter Donnelly's
lodging house, 140 Minna street.
1t appears that still alarm was turned
in to engine 4, and when the firemen ar
rived on the scene the beds in two rooms
were smoldering, filling the house with
smoke. The place is a cheap lodging
house, where beds are let out for 10 and Is
cents night.
In one room, where the fire was discov-
cred, were five beds and three of them
were burning. The smoke which arose
was filled with the scent of kerosene. The
fire was extinguished and it was then
found that bed in another room twenty
i've feet away was burning also. 1t, too,
had been saturated with oil. The fact CT
the only too evident attempt at arson was
reported to the Fire Marshal, who paid
visit to the premises.
Donnelly openly accuses James Meehan
and his son Joseph, dodgers in the house,
with the crime. The elder Meehan was
found, but he strenuously denied that he
knew anything about the fire. His son
was missing, and late last night the police
had failed to locate him. Meehan and his
wife Annie told conflicting stories when
questioned about their family affairs and
also about the son. The Fire Marshal
is inclined to think that the father had
the boy secrete himself. The elder
Meehan stated that his son had left the
house long before the fire, but those in the
house say that he was around after the
fire.
Pending further examination Meehan
was taken to the City Prison and there
detained. The Fire Marshal and Detective
Handley state that the Meehans have an
unenviable record. They have on several
occasions been the recipients of public
charity and have abused it to the extent of
selling the necessaries, such as -four,
groceries and clothes, which they received.
Some of the roomers have also on occa-
sions missed things, and one of them
named Edwards found his missing articles
in Meehans room. They are in arrears
for rent with Donnelly and he has tried to
get them to move. He says that Meehan
tried to set fire to the house for spite,
knowing that there was no insurance.
Within the past three or four weeks there
have been no less than three attempts to
set fire to the premises.
The sea is estimated to contain 2,250, 000,-
900 cubic miles of water.
