A Lounging-Room and Art
Gallery Combined.

A Fine Salon Grows From Nebu-

Beauty.

According to the comment of General
Secretary Baer of the Christian Endeavor
Union Boston would be paraIyZed could it
see the art gallery arranged for the benefit
of the visitors to San Francisco during
convention week.
Unless one made personal visit to the
gallery this comment OF the genial secre-
tary might be taken as one Of his pleasant
compliments, but after you are in the long
salon in the Mechanics Pavilion you can
fully realize that there were good and suf-
fcient grounds upon which 10 predicate
the remarks.
The art gallery is not conception but
growth. 1t came out of a nebuIous con-
dition and has become star in the tirma-
ment. 1t is a metamorphoss from
lounging-room to an atelier, from a read.
ing-room to an art salon, yet with it all it
bears the i'm press Of the original idea and
is what may be termed sui gel neris in the
way of art galleries, for the big room with
its walls adorned with bright-hued gems
OF art has been furnished with long ia bIes
and chairs and well equipped with writ
ing materials, so that the visitors may
write their letters, and at the same time
the funereal gloom usually attaching to
reading-rooms and art galleries through
the many Iniunctions to silence, has been
dispelled by the fact that here is the one
place in the big Pavilion where the hum
OF voices i'll talk is invited, for it is to be-
the great lounging place of the City. .
The pictures, the books, papers and
magazines and the wrltlng-desks are but
incidents to enhance the pleasure of the
conversation-room. Here every body is
expected to talk and laugh to their hearts,
content.
Yet while this is true it must not be
supposed that the pictures are not to be
classed as high art-and as high art is
generally "high" in the double sense it
may not be amiss here TO state that the
commercial value of the paintings on the
walls is far above the 100000 mark.
Two sections are devoted 10 high art
work and one TO photogra phs, and while
the space is seemingly vast, and the COM
mittee had some doubt as to their ability
to make a really creditable showing, the
response was so ready that he contribu-
tions exceeded all expectations, and there
is barely room to hang the pictures. The
greatest cause of regret is that more of our
tlgure- pain ters did not make an exhibit.
The hanging committee aas done most
excellent work under ihe supervision of
DR.. May, and the general appearance of
the gallery is most pleasing, while the ar
tistic effect strikes the visitor upon en-
trance. The effort has been rather To
have good work done than a crowding of
the walls, and the fringed palm settings
to the wall between the fine paintings give
a rest to the eye that is rarely felt in noted
galleries.
The great painting of the Yosemite
Valley, by Hill, loaned by the Crocker
estate, is the one that attracts most eyes.

DRY GOODS.

New York, Nov 16.-There is little en-
enlargement in the dry goods market,
prices in all lines of cotton goods still
tending toward lack of stability and
buyers being anxious to take advantage of
such Irregularities. Still, the number of
spot buyers in the market is very small
and the trade for mail orders is not of
large proportions. The situation in wool
en- goods is practically unchanged al
though there is not nearly so much irreg-
ularity in the demand, nor in the stand
taken by sellers. But in cottons the ques-
ton of price is stM undecided, and the
market shows many weak places, even
on basis of the low prices now prevail
ing.
