Picture Buying on the Increase.

New York Sun: The art exhibitions
in New York during the season now
coming to a close have received critical
and descriptive comment in these col
but little has been said concern
ing the financial results. 1t Is interest
Ing to compare some of the figures of the
sales this year with those of the year
before. The Academy of Design has
held two exhibitions during the present
season, one last autumn and one this
spring. Fifty-siX pictures were sold
this year from the two exhibitions for a
total Of ST., 265. The figures for the year
sold for a total of $3.50. This denotes
a gain for the present season, though
the average price per picture is lower.
The Society of American Artists holds
one exhibition a year. Last spring the
sales amounted to 1000. This spring
they footed up $4,000. Two pictures sold
this year brought $1,000 each. AT the
American Water Color society exhibition
in 1896 100 pictures by seventy-nine art
lists were sold for a total of So, 150. 90.
This year the sales of only ~sixty-six pic
lures by forty-seven artists brought al
most as much. viz, 1926. A decided
rise in the average price per picture is
apparent. This IS In some measure due
to the fact. that a new rule was put in
force this e by which no work could
be entered in the exhibition to be sold
for less than $75. Formerly there were
little pictures, flower studies generally,
that were offered at a very low price,
The officers of the society are pleased
with the results of the new rule, as II
has seemed to elevate the general arts
Etic standard of the exhibition. The New
York Water Color club, q smaller socie-
ty, which holds it's exhibition just be-
fore the holidays, mad this season ODE
cember, 1850 a better exhibition thai
ever before, but the sales fell off not
withstanding. They amounted to $685.
for thirteen pictures sold, whereas the
year before twenty-three We're sold for
81, 1868. Taking the figures for the -four
societies and institutions together, 1t
appears thai the total sales this season
were S23, S52, as against $1s,42S.5o for last
year, a gain for this year of S5,423. so
which is not a bad showing, and it may
even be taken as an indication of re-
turning prosperity, especially as in hare
times 1t is possibly more difficult to sci
pictures than anything else. Peopl,

M'KINlEYS HOPE FOR
A PLACE IN HISTORY
He Expects a Halo to Grow Out Of
the Colonial Policy He Has
Adopted.
HAWAII is THE BEGINNING
The Entire Plan of Government of
the Islands Has Been Care
fully Mapped Out by
the President.

Washington, June 23.-The admins
tration is sure it has solved the most
difficult problems attaching to the an
nexation of Hawaii. While the ques-
ton of the form of government to be
given to the islands, in case they be-
come n part of the United States, has
been left to congress to decide, Pres
ident Mckinley has the whole plan
mapped out. The administration lead
ers in the senate have been taken into
his confidence and at the proper time
will present his plan.
1t is to be the beginning of q colo
NAL policy on which the administra-
ton is to rely for a high place in the
history of the country. The islands
are to be admitted as Il part of the
territory of the United States. State
hood is not thought of. There are al
ready three forms of territorial gov
eminent under the authority OF con-.
gress--in the District of Columbia, in
the organized territories and in Alas
ka. There are some objections to each
of these as applied to the case of Ha-
wall, and it is possible that a new form
of government may be instituted for
the islands. But it will be founded on
the principles on which these present
forms are built.
The great question of citizenship and
the right of suffrage has been decided.
No Asiatic is to be admitted to citizen
ship. The existing prebibitive laws of
the United States as to naturalization
md immigration I to be enforced
strictly. Residents of American and
European origin will be given all tho
rights of American citizenship that
apply to the inhabitants of territories.
In time, and under certain r%estric-
tions, the native Hawaiians also are to
be given these same rights. The adj
ministration holds that by this method
of acting the Chinese and japanese,
who now form 40 per cent of the pep
u~lation. gradually will return to their
own land, and in a few years he
islands will be populated by Ameri-
cans and native Hawaiians. Cheap la
Dor of all kinds will be driven out, and
there will be no complaint coming
from II industry that the cheap Ia
Dor of Hawaii is running its business.
When President Mckinley first took
up the question of the annexation of the
islands he paid a great deal of attention
to the subject of a protectorate. He
soon found, however, that his scheme
was impracticable. This country would
then become responsible for the govern
ment of the Islands n it could not
take upon itself this responsibility IN
less it could exercise a control in it's
creation and management. The presi-
dent found that such d system would
bring on no end of complications with
foreign powers and in domestic affairs.
SO he boldly set out to annex the
islands and devote himself to the form
under which they should become a part
Of the territory of this country.

AS you would stop, II you should come

Que penny, one penny was all i paid
That splendid horse to get,
For pity of them that were SO poor

A Noah's ark without a roof,

A little trumpet made of tin,
That cost a single cent -
And all the time that little boy
Knew just how my money went.
He was, oh! 50 old, this funny little hoy,
And so sober and so kind,
He sold a five-cent doll for three.
Because one eye was blind.
And oh! how proud he was to sell
Each poor and petty toy,
For he was left TO keep the shop .
This poor little old-time hoy.
There is a babe, and a well-beloved babe,
a babe that belongs to me;
/ brought her home these penny toys,
To deck her Christmas tree.
And on that Christmas tree there hung
a world of tritles fair,
For all the folks that loved her we'll
Had sent their kindness there.
But all the toys. of all the many toys,
Was naught that pleased her mind,
Except the trumpet made of tin,
And the doll with one eye blind.
And the best of all that Christmas brought
She held one little toy
That ! bought for a cent in the little shop
To please that aged boy.

He looked around the room. A society OF
religious persons had visited the hotel when
1t was first opened, and had obtained per-
mission to place a copyof the bible in every
room. One of those copies lay on the chin
ney-piece in GATHERINGS room. Bennydeck
brought it to her, and placed it open on the
table near where she was sitting. He turned
to the new testament, and opened it at the
gospel of st. Matthew. With his hand on
the page, he said.
