A WALL STREET OPINION.

Major j. L. Robertson, Wal
street. broker and one of the party in
terpsted in the Island mountains

Denver by reporter OF the Rocky
Mountain News. In speaking of the
political situation, he said:

but will make the broad statement
that gold is cornered. It is in the
hands Of u few people. The appre-
citation Of the value of money would
necessarily mean the depreciation Of
products and labor. In fact, the
worlds output Of gold is not suffici-
ent to serve the purposes of a basis OF
circulation to do the worlds business.
That is the whole question in a nut
shell. The farmer, or rather the pro.
ducer and the laborer, who is also

economics. He simply knows that it
is almost impossible to make living;
he knows that what he produces
brings practically nothing; he knows
there is come reason for it, and in; my
opinion, he is going to vote for a
change, right or wrong.

OF INTEREST TO ARTISTS.
A New Feature in Chautauqua Pro
gramme,

Artists will be glad to know OF the
grand opportunity which is to be offered
them this season at the Chautaquan
meeting at Fryeburg Me. There is to be
a new department introduced into the
programme this season-a sketching class
under the instruction Of BENZ. T. New
man, the well-known artist. Mr.. New
man will give lesson each morning
during the assembly season, teaching
either oil, water-oo or pencil sketch
ing, as desired. We hardly need to say,
what all art students in this part of the
country already know, that MI. New
man. having been born with an artists
talent, has had already the advantages
of study abroad, and adds to all this
the ability to teach others and make them
see and feel what he reads inSthe book
Of nature. Mr.. Charles L. Fox in q per
sonal conversation, said of Mr.. Newman
CHS influence upon his pupils seems to
bring them into q direct and simple
touch with nature, which I regard as the
fundamental principle Of good teaching"
This new GLASS is one which is sure to
be popular, as none who are interested
in this line of work will be willing to
let such an opportunity pass unimproved.

MIR. BRADLEY AUCTIONEER.
Sale of Articles Once Owned by Parson
Smith.

His Watch, Snuff Box, Books and Other
Articles Sold at Low Prices.
When the Rev. Thomas Smith, minister
of the first church of Portland, furnished
his library he did SO with an eye single
to getting solid reading and he succeeded
He was evidently hard student, and
marked passages he thought he might
want by drawing lines under each para
graph. His books were offered for sale
at the Loan exhibition last evening, and
witt some household articles were sold at
auction by William M. Bradley, Esq.
The watch the minister carried for
many years was one of the articles sold,
and Mr.. Bradley kindly offered to throw
in the jewels if anyone wanted the
watch. It was started at 30 cents, hut
Mr.. Bradley managed to get the bid
raised and at last there was quite a
spirited contest, several bidding, but they
seldom ventured to advance the last bid
more than ten cents at time. It was
struck off to Miss Payson for 1925, and
1t would bs rather interesting to know
what Parson Smith paid for it.
Mr.. Bradley then offered "Mys Smiths
tea kettle. 1 don't know which Mrs.
Smith for Parson Smith had four wives.
Anyway it once belonged to Mrs. Parson
Smith, and is a good as ever. There is
hardly O dent in it," Mr.. Payson got it
at So. IS.
" IQuol low l. L. =
ponderous volume in the finest pos
sibie type. 1t not only gave a general
view of the physical condition of the
world, but also had several chapters of
the last Judgment.
Parson Smith took snuff, and his snuff
box went to Hon. George T. Talbot for
$1.25, and Mr.. Bradley offered his glasses,
terming them ''the light of other days"
Nobody at first wanted a lap desk on
which Parson Smith probably wrote a
good many of his sermons. There was
ponderous but certainly strong basket,
perhaps one of the things Mrs. Smith
found it very convenient to have in the
house.
A copy of the first book printed in
America, sold for s325
Mr.. Bradley proved himself good
auctioneer. He worked hard for good
selling price, and several times evidently
exceeded his own expectations, but still
the sale could hardly be termed sue
cess. Nobody wanted many of the
articles, some, however, brought good
prices.
The illustrations scattered through
some of the scientific books served to OBJ
scure rather than to explain the text and
certainly went to show what change
has taken place in popular art since the
days of Parson Smith.
The sale was good thing for the ex-
hibition for it called out large attend
anoe. The ladies showed more enthusiasm
over q very handsome pair of old brass
hundred years old, than over the books,
but some of the old books were worth
owning. 1t was no wonder that Parson
Smith stood in need of glasses, for the
majority Of his hooks were printed in
type SO fine as to make reading an effort,
although some were exceptions to the
general rule. DR.. Warren was greatly
taken with an old music book, evidently
much worn. Singing must have been n
relief especially when the Parson had
uncommon assistance in prayer" and
