Colonel Harry L. Swords, sergeant
alarms of the Republican National
Committee, keeps well informed of the
political situation in the West. He has
large sum of money which friends
have sent him to place on McKinley's
election, but he can only find few
takers. 81 have just heard from my
own State Iowa, said Colonel Swords
yesterday. "a fellow-townsman writes
me as follows; One cannot get betin
Iowa unless he comedies 10000 major
ity for Mckinley. Extremists say that
the State will give 100000. A conser-
vative bet would be 100000, while 30, 900
would be a snap bet Bryan will lose
Nebraska also. Still they talk here
about the West being for Bryan.

Solomon was called by the Jews of
his time the White King, from the

made in the New Testament to the lily
of the field, a white flower, in conneo-

these are presented with increasing power
until the climax is reached in 1.-The Gather

a characteristic feature of Mr.. Cade-
nasso's painting is its ''outdoor" quality.
He has painted considerable in the open
air with the result that his sketches ana
finished pictures alike are tuli OF
sunli ght and real, living, vibrating atmos-
phere. In explaining this sunlir brilliancy
and atmosphere effect the artist says very
modestly: II like TO paint and study In
the open air because L get the true effect,
which is not possible in the studio"
THE Gathering Storm" is full of this
quality. which, combined, OF course. with
the impression of tragedy in the elements,
makes itself apparent in the overhanging
heaviness. This picture is on large can
vas. II represents an opening in the
woods where cattle are grazing near a
daIkening pond. In the foreground there
are rich grass and to the left cluster of
majestic trees, while beyond the open
sward. sits a farmhouse flooded with a rift
of sunshine that lights up the center pro-
fusely. Behind this the trees are in deep
shadows and the sky is dark and threat
ering where the storm is brewing. The
picture is pitched in strong, dark key
which affords nice relief for vivid greens
and warm touches OF color. Artists who
have seen the picture have compIimented
the painter on it, so that 1t Is highly prob
able that henceforth Mr.. Cadenasso' 8

Among the arrivals here on the steamer
Morowai yesterday from New Zealand
and Australia was Joseph Clay, Benjamin
Jones and William Stokes, representa-
tives of the Manchester Cooperative So
cicty of Manchester, England. The object
of the society is to benefit the middle
classes by dealing direct with them and
thus avoid middlemen, thereby making a
saving to the users of various necessary
supplies.
the cooperative society, it is claimed,
has 100000 behind it. Goods are fur
nished ut the lowest rate. and the products
OF growers are taken at the highest rate.
The gentlemen assert that in this way the
middle classes are enabled to save at least
so per cent. They say they have looked
over the field in the two countries and
talked to many people, and the result is
they expect to ship goods there and also
to take ,neir mutton, beef and other prod
ucts and ship them to England.
