SOCIE?Y'S LOVE FOR ART
Shown at the Washington Artists
Exhibition by Pleasant Gossip.
Cosmos Club a Convenient stopping
Place for the Denizens of VAN
ity Fair.

The Society of Washington Artists nay
come OF this years exhibition, but there
is no doubt about its being.a social success.
Set as it is on the high road Of Vanity
Fair, the Cosmos makes an ideal dropping
in place for the Inhabitants thereof, and
that they enjoy their visit IS evidenced by
the pleasant fact that when they go away
1t nearly always happens that they come
again.
They talk art, OF course, because that
is what they are expected TO do; but human
nature always did, and forever will, resent
the having to do thing, so that when
the majority OF the visitors want to really
enjoy themselves, they sit down before
one of the epictures sin the most comfortable
seat they can find-and immediately and
flagranuy forget all about the collection,
and proceed to chatter together about
oh. everything and nothing-as people al
ways Will.
One fact has been made perceptibe, which
it might be well for the exhibitors to take
note of for future use, and thatis the small
amount of appreciation thatis being man
ifested for these subjects that paTtake of
the bizarre. There are one or two can
vases both oil and pastel, in the collection
that are nothing more than less thanr REFUSES
in the eyes of the common mind, and no
body cares for REFUSES unless there are
prizes attached.
On the other hand, those works Illus
trating life or showing some glimpse of
nature in its various phases, are growing
in favor every day. Among them is "A
Gray Morning. by Edmund c. Mcsser,
showing foreground ndofwateTwitha stretch
OF meadow beyond, and an old-fashioned
farmhouse, half hid in the shade of big
trees 1t is a very simple little picture,
but SO true to nature that one can almost
bask in the sunshine and hear the ripple
of the stream.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
Young Girl Assailed by Unknown
Observation-Disclosures the Cause.

Young Girl Assailed by Unknown
Assassins-Jealous the Cause.
Terra Alta, w. Va, April S.-Detectives
are searching for the mysterious assailant
of Miss Kate Tanner, daughter of Nathan
Tanner, a prosperous farmer of Terra
was standing near her home, she was fired
upon from ambush by some one unknown,
and the wound may yet result in her death
She is still in precarious condition. The
ball, which was fired from a Winchester
rifle of large caliber, entered her right side
just above the third rib, lodging beneath
the skin at the back, and was removed
with difficulty by the doctors.
After the arrest of three suspects, who
afterwards proved alibis, James Tanner, a
brother Of the girl, went to Baltimore to
secure the aid OF detectives. On March 81
Detectives Miller and Smart were detailed
ON the case. Theylearned thatthe wounded
last attempt, and by her statements sus-
picion was directed TO young man living
in Terra Alta.
When the officers got to his house yes
terday it was learned that he had gone on
a visit to relatives overthe mountain shortly
after the shooting occurred. The man will
probably be caught, and if brought back to
Terra Alta lynching is feared. The de-
tectives posed as oil prospectors while in
this region. Jealousy is supposed to be
the motive of the crime.

MR.. sTEyESsoN.s VIEWS.
Ex-vice President Regards Western
Elections AS Hopeful Signs.

Elections AS Hopeful Signs.
Ex-Vice sidentstevenson arrived in the
city last night from his Illinois home TO
attend to some private business affairs
He says he intends settling down TO the
practice of Law at Bloomington and that
politics win occupy but little of his time
and thoughts for the next few years. Mr..
Stevenson regards the elections in Ohio
and Chicago as evidence that the Demo-
cratic forces are getting together, and
says the party is gradually but surely
getting back TO the old strength Of four
years ago. The sentiment for bimetaliism,
he said, is growing throughout the West
and wiIlcontinueto advance, and the Demo
cratic party, he predicts, will be stronger
and in better condition for the campaign
three years hence than now.
He believes that there is sentiment
favorable to all elements Of Democracy
rallyng around the old standard and that
in time, and at no long period, the party
will be more powerful than ever.
The elections, in Mr.. Stevenson's opinion,
should not be Construed as an expression
of the people ON purely local matters, but
shows that the party is gradually getting
together. The Ohio victory. he states, is
especially significant, and TO his mind
is proof that the sound money and free
silver Democrats are not irreyocably di-
vided.
MIR. Stevenson will leave here the last
of the week and says he will not return
to Washington again for some time unless
business calls him He is staying at the
Normandie, where he lived four years,
and yesterday and today saw many of
his colleagues in the Senate and Others

RoBBERIEs AT CRIsFIELD.
A Number of Stores Entered-ROb-
bers Pursued and Captured.

CrisIield, Nd, April 81. T. Jones
and wife were arrested Tuesday night,
examined before Justice Porter yesterday
morning end committed to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury Jones Is ac-
cused Of breaking into the stores OF Miss
Carrie Gunby, Saltz Brothers and NJ
Cohen, IN Crisfield, Monday night. The
robbery was discovered the next morning
and suspicion pointed to Jones, as he was
leaving in the boat of John Vessels for the
Western Shore. Bailiff McCready, with
two men, rOwed after the boat, and as
the wind was not brisked overhauled her
at the lighthouse.
Capt. Vessels wanted TO know what was
the matter, and he was quietly put into
possession of the facts. The vessel was
searched, but no goods were found on
board. Capt Vessels then proceeded as
far as Hedges Straits, but, thinking he
might be implicated in the affair, returned
to Old Island. Meanwhile the tarbershop
of Jones had been searched, and as the
goods were found there it was considered
sufficient evidence for his arrest. Others
are supposed to have been implicated in
the burglary, but no further arrests have
vet been made.

Every day engagements are entered into,
and marriages are made between people
who have1no business to be married. Wo-
men enter into the most serious obligation
of life without the proper physical equip
ment for it. When woman maTTies, she
tacitly makes the declaration that she means
to become the mother Of children. This
declaration ought also to mean that she IS
physically able to perform what she under
takes. The bearing of child is all too fire.
uuently an injustice to both mother and
child The woman who expects to bear in
tellectual and physically healthy children,
should be herself in strong and vigorous
health. The organs that make her woman
should be free from any taint of disease or
weakness. If they are, not, the child will
have bare chance for health, and the
mother may easily make herself weak,
nervous, semi invalid for the rest of her life.
Female weakness of any kind-whether he
redifary or acquired-may be cured by the
right sort of treatment. DR.. Pierce's Favor
tie Prescription is designed for the treat
ment and cure of just this one class of dis
eases and no other. 1t works in a perfectly
rational way directly on the organs affected
1t cieanses them of all impurities; allays
any inflammation that may be present-and
that generally is present in sickness; re-
stores the organs to their natural, healthy,
regular action prepares them for the ac-
complishment of woman's greatest work,
and if taken during CESSATION, the time Of
parturition will be comparatively safe and
painless.
The "Favorite Prescription "is not cure-ar,
and IL the general system Is rundown, Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery should be
taken in connection with the :" Favorite Prescrip-
tion." These two medicines together have the
most wonderful influence on womans health

FREY's SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
May Have Been Accidentally Drown
ed, But Murder Is Hinted.

u
Frederick, Md, April 9.-WiIliam h.
Krantz, acting coroner OF Buckeystown
district, Frederick county. has Just sum
moned a jury of inquest in the case OF
Joseph Frey, whose dead body was found
in the Potomac River on Sunday last by
Andrew Hartman. The jury viewed the re-
mains and adjourned until today, when a
number OF witnesses will be examined.
Mr.. Frey was well-known farmer. He
lived on Heaters Island, in the Potomac
River. and frequently rowed to Point OF
Rocks on business. He was last seen alive
on the night OF March %, at p. M, when
he was accompanied to his boat by friend,
who after his disappearance said Frey
landed safely on the other side of the river,
as he heard him draw up his boat aad chain
it. AS it was also stated that Frey had
been hiking. it was thought he had ac-
cidentally fallen into the river and was
drowned after chaining up the boat.
There are many people, however, who
say he was not under the influence of
drink as much as he had been seen on
previous occasions when he crossed the
river and landed safely. They think there
was foul play.
The corpse was found on the Virginia
side OF the river, some distance from the
boat, and the Indications are that he
either fell or was knocked out OF the boat,
as there was severe bruise on one side OF
his head and face as if from blow, No
other signs of violence, however, could be
found on his body. 1t is said that had he
fallen into the river while fastening the
boat the body would not have drifted two
miles along the shore of the island, rounded
the point and floated over to the Virginia
shore.
1t is thought, therefore, that either he
may have rowed or was rowed to the
Virginia shore and there fell overheard or
YVES knocked out of the boat by a blow.

Sometimes the wraps are in bolero shape,

Many jackets are ietted and embroidered,

Matrons.

Matrons' wraps are now seen in large
numbers. Very sensibly, too, for they
are much more suited to a woman who is
past her youth than severely plain jackets.
The new wraps are generally short and
tight-fitting; a few have stolls that hang
long in front, but these wraps seem more
generally reserved for the young girl. The
tight-fitting back has plain basque skirt
