The third art talk by Mrs. George A..
Caswell, under the auspices Of the Rus
kin Art club, was given yesterday after
noon in the Owens block auditorium,
on Broadway, with a large audience
present.
Mrs. Caswell opened her subject with
the artists that belonged to the end of
the Venetian school; then she took up
the Eclectic or Bolognese school, the Ne
apolitan or Naturalistic, the early
Flemish, or painters of the minute, and
the early Germans.
Titan, Tintorello, Paul Veronese, Ru-
bens, Guido REM, Giorgiono, Carlo Dol
CT, Caravaggio, the Van Eycks, Hans
Memling. Albert Durer, Hans Holbein,
Van Dyck, were all dealt with in the va
rious schools they represent, the influ
ences that surrounded them, and that
which their life and work made in it's
turn.
Over eighty slides were shown, each
a representative example, style or type
of the masters of color under considera-
ton. Mrs. Caswell explained them all
with the simple drectness and compre-
llensive summing up which character
ize all her talks and make them so in
teresting as well as instructive.

HELD TO ANSWER
Lutge's Tale Of Burglary Is Not Swal
lowed Wholesale


The examination of Theodore Lutge
was resumed before Justice Young yes
terday afternoon. and the court, at Its
conclusion, found there was probable
cause to try the prisoner for the offense
OF having concealed $1,000 for the purpose
OF defrauding his creditors, and fixed the
bond at $4,000, which was not given.
Lutge called ex-Member of the Board
OF Education ]. #. Adams, who said tina
the defendant had told him he feared
that the money he was to receive from
the Long Beach school trustees might be
attached, and that he (Adams) had ad-
vised him not to bank 1t, but to take II
home.
Leland Cross and Eugene Fowler, little
boys of ten or eleven years of age, were
called by the prosecution, and testified
that they had found Lutge's tin box UNI
der the bridge in the little creek on the
east side of the river, on First street. II
was unlocked, and contained nothing but
old papers. an empty purse. one nickel
and some trlnkets of no value. Hattie
Wackenbush, the last witness to give
evidence for the people. said that she had
taken the box and contents home.
Lutge did not testify in his own behalf
If all the old papers which the box con-
tanned when found by the children were
in 1t when 1t was carried off from Lutge's
house, there was no room in it for $250(
in money or bills.

PETER JACKSON AGAIN
The Comical Ethiopian Affords Lit.
tie Amusement in Court


Peter Jackson, the Ethiopian freak
who is a constant contributor to the
amusements that appeal to the average
police court crowd, as usual did his best
yesterday to keep the loungers in the
court room in happy frame of mind.
Peter had been arrested during the
night for impersonating an officer but
the prosecuting attorney changed the
charge to disturbing the peace. Mr..
Jackson, with his accustomed sauvity
of voice and Chesterfieldian manners,
acknowledged the corn, but in extenu-
alton pleaded that he was under the in
fluence of the rosy at the time.
A couple of German citizens who were
not very proficient in the English
tongue, claimed that Peter, who wore
a soldiers coat, had placed them under
arrest on the pretense that they had
defrauded tamale man out of two cups
of coffee. Officer Sawyer came along at
that moment and rang up the patrol
wagon, but instead of sending the two
Germans to the city Jail it was Peter
who made the trip.
Mr.. jackson explained his view of the
situation to Judge Morrison with many
grimaces and comical gestures, and took
his departure with a graceful Yes, sab,
tank yo', sab" when he was awarded a
fifteen day floater.

THE SUPERVISORS
A Concession for Wagon Toll Road
Near Garvanza Granted

A petition from residents OF Ell Monte
township for the appointement of Dr..
r. d. Adams as health officer was de-
MED.
The offer of dedication as public
road of a strip of land on Mountain
avenue, near the GEE property, but sit
uated on the Campbell ranch,
beyond Garvanza, was declined yester-
day by the board of supervisors as such
road is not considered necessary to the
the public use and that its Improvement
would necessitate the outlay of con-
siderable money. Another strip of land
on the same property was accepted and
declared a public highway.
On motion of Supervisor Hanley the
petition Of the Campbell-Johnston
brothers for a ten-year concession of a
wagon toll road, beginning at the center
Of Mountain avenue, in the San Rafael
ranch. and ending on the west bank of
the Arroyo Seco, was granted.

A WEALTHY MISER
FOUND DEAD SURROUNDED BY
SQUALOR AND WEALTH
Formerly a Sailor on a British Ship
and Later Farmer in Iowa.
A Mystery to the Neighbors

Joseph Blow, a misery old English
man, said to be 70 years of age, was dis
covered dead in the closet in the rear of
his miserable home at the corner of Date
and Alhambra streets yesterday morn
ing by some Of his neighbors. He has
been source of mystery to the residents
of that neighborhood for some years,
always preserving a discreet silence as
to his antecedents and relatives. His
surroundings betokened the misery
habits of the old man, who barely allow
ed himself the necessities Of life. When
found his lamp was still burning ON
table in his room, showing that he had
left the house either late on Friday night
or early the next morning. When last
! seen on Friday afternoon by some neigh
bors he was walking in the garden with
his hands over his stomach, seemingly
in great pain. He refused offers of as
sistance, however, claiming that it was
nothing serious.
a cursory examination of his belong
ings showed that he was in possession
of considerable means, one paper alone
deed to some realty, being worth $4,000
Altogether, it is thought, his estate will
total up close to 100000.
Mr.. John Il. Francis stated last night
that he had known old Blow thirty-five
years ago in Iowa. "He was an Eng
lishman by BIRTH" said Mr.. Francis,
coming to this country about forty
years ago with another man and locat-
[ ing with his family on some land that
he bought from my mother at Clinton
near Lyons, Iowa. He frequently did the
chores on the ranch and seemed quite u
decent fellow, although always inclined
to be somewhat stingy with his money
One popularity of his was that he al
ways wore small gold rings in his ears,
which he had had pierced when he was
sailor on an English vessel. He left
there about thirty years ago, coming
west, but l never knew definitely where
he was until a few years since, when
Mr.. James Tallet of Lyons, Iowa, wrote
and asked me to look the old man up, as
he had heard that he was living in a low
quarter of this city. l tried to find him
three or four times, but was unsuccess-
full. What became of his family don't
know. do not think he had much mon
ey when he left England, as he never
showed any signs of being even comfort
ably off when i knew him in Iowa."

Obituary.

Mrs. |. w. Webster, widow of the
late [. W. Webster, once prominent
lawyer, judge and mayor of Kenosha,
died at the residence of her only
daughter Mrs. Robert Whitaker, Feb.
18, at 1870 in the morning.
Her illness, it was thought, was
occasioned by the severe sickness of
her daughters husband who was pros
trated with pneumonia and whose case
was at one time given up as hopeless.
The sorrow and despair of her daughter
so worked upon Mrs. Webster's SYM
pathies as to cause a nervous prostra-
ton SO serious that she was compelled
to take to her bed The doctor who
was in attendance upon Mr.. Whitaker
did not consider her case at all alarm
ing so no grave apprehensions were
entertained as to any fatal result. She
seemed to be in no pain, no fever. She
only expressed herself as being tired
and wanting rest. Just before she
died Mrs. Whitaker sat by her bedside
little dreaming that the end was SO
near. She asked her if she was in any
pain. Her answer was No, dear, | am
only SO tired and want rest" In few
moments after this and without another
word she turned her head aside and
quietly, peacefully and without the
movement of a muscle passed away.
Mrs. Webster was born in Deerfeld,
N. H, June IA, 1928. While she was
quite young her father Aben Burbank
with the family moved to Lowell, Mass,
where Mrs. Webster spent most OF her
maiden days, and where Mr.. Webster
first made her acquaintance. They
were married in the early fifties and
soon after moved to Kenosha, where
they took up their permanent residence.
Mrs. Webster, though somewhat retired
in her disposition, particularly after the
death of her loved ones, was a woman
of noble character and high attain
ments, to know her intimately was to
love her. She was loyal and true to
her friends, strong in her notions of
right and wrong, loving the one and
despising the other, forgiving and for
bearing in her nature, a noble woman.
Few women have been called upon
to suffer the agonies the years had
brought to her. Those she so loved
and built her hopes upon, taken from
her one by one. Three daughters,
two Of whom bright, beautiful and
accomplished had reached the age OF
womanhood when death took them
from her; then came the sudden demise
of her idolized husband and in few
years after her only son, very promis-
ing young man, was taken. The last
sad blow paralized her whole being
and made her life almost unbearable.
i She has CONC to her God and to her
loved ones, whore sorrows and partings
never come. God rest her soul.

Mrs. G.. c.. Newcomb Of st. Louis,
finds herself a new woman, in the
best sense of the word.
An invalid woman is always sad
sight-sadder even than that of an in
valid man, because of her greater ca
pacity for suffering.
Neuralgia, backaches, fits of de-
preston and headaches compel her to
think or work with half her brain,
while the other half throbs as if it
would go to pieces. There are no more
striking examples of the great, prac-
tical value Of Paine's celery compound
than are heard from the lips of women
who have been made we'll.
It's ability to relieve those ills that
seem to be peculiarly the misfortune of
women is overwhelmingly proven by
innumerable testimonials from women
Of the highest standing in the commu-
mites where they live.

SECRETARY KUOLT, of the Milwau

would secure unanimous report rec

The name of the assemblyman is not
given, which is probably the correct
ahing until the proper authorities can
secure an investigation into the case.
But if the case is proven true that as
semblyman's punishment should be
severe. 1t has been great many
years since such a charge has been
brought against any state legislator
and if any opening for bribery has been
attempted in the ranks of our law
aakers an effectual stop should be put

and about the . hand organ" of the
republican party, as he calls us, stop
ping it's talk about keeping the Judge
ship out of politics. We will say right
here that the reason we are saying
nothing. is because the judgeship is
being kept out of politics When a
paper advocates a thing and gets what
it wants it generally closes the argu-
ment, that is if it knows enough to.
In regard to this papers advocating
Mr.. Slosson, we have advocated him
and do SO now not because he is a
republican, but because we think heis
the candidate best fitted for the office,
in addition to his being reliable,
conscientious and painstaking. He has
been Judge Van Wyck's assistant for
over two years and will be three years
before Judge Van Wyck retires, and
will therefore be best enabled to take
up the work where Judge Van Wyck
leaves it without a.noticeable change,
as Mr.. Slosson, being in the Office,
keeps in touch with the estates being
settled and can continue, as we said
before, without any radical change.
And last, but not least, we support Mr..
Slosson because he has the support and
endorsement of the one gentleman in
the county best able to judge OF his
qualifications for the position.
