GOOD WHEELS.

TRIBUNE WHEELS - We

with all the latest improve
ments in sprockets, chains,
ETC., good value for the price
asked, which is only S75.
COLUMBUS WHEELS -
These are a very pretty model,
in olive green with gold strip
ing, and have sold rapidly in
the United States. They 60

B. and H. SPECIAL WHEELS

tried here and have given good
satisfaction. Tney are durable

Contemporaries have jumped at
the conclusion that Rear Admiral

The Jubilee will be pau June %,

United States news is that Rear

the thief.
When KAPPA returned the case

that among the articles stolen

these tickets sooner or later would
be presented. He warned Lind
TO watch out for them and notify
him by telephone if they were
presented. This morning two
boys named David Kawehe and
William Wood presented one Of
the tickets and divided a meal be-
tween them. Lind telephoned the
police and when they came out
they we're arrested. Two hours
afterward two more boys pre-
scented the other ticket and
met with the same fate. Their
names were Kamana and Roma

ate cells from the others. The
first two have already shown signs
of squealing and KAPPA expects
will soon give the affair away.

Mrs. Sinig escaped by a ladder with
out injury. Lizzie Sinig. aged 20, and
her brother Anthony, aged 5. were
caught in a back room, whence they
could not reach any means Of ezress.
and before help arrived they had been
burned to death. One man living
across the street heard the victims
screaming, but before he could aid them
the burning roof had fallen in upon
them. From appearance OF the bodies
death was caused by suffocation before
the flames had reached them.

AMERICAN ART.
Its Growth Has Been slow, Sure ANA
Steady.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
1t appears that the typical American,
with all his angularity. his Gradgrind FASH
ion of demonstrating facts and his prac-
tical, hard, keen everyday, business view
Of life, has a soft spot for art. That there
has been a slow but sure growth in this
direction for the last twenty years Is ap-
parent. 1t may be that the effect of riches
and consequent culture has somewhat
helped this development, but probably not
to any great extent.
The real growth has come from the peo-
pie. The students in our art schools come
from all over the rural parts of the United
States-the children of farmers, who make
sacrifices to send them to the cities where
they may receive instruction. American
art is the strongest exponent Of a dawnlng
sense of the beautiful and true, which is
gradually resulting In a national school
individual, forceful, realstic-showing the
impression of the French school with
which II is particularly in sympathy but
as distinctly indigenous as the literature
of our day, which no one can deny has It's
own peculiar individuality.
It is only for the last twenty-five years
that there has been any instruction IN this
country that could rank with that OF Eu-
rope.
Twenty years ago even a young artist
would begin composition before he had
mastered the rudiments. That he should
now voluntarily devote himself 20 long
years of study before venturing to paint
shows that an advance has been made In
true artistic feeling. Herkomer asserts
that he desires his pupils 70 be first thor
ough craftsmen" and then creative art
lists" Another celebrated artist has put
IT, 1.-THE painter must come first, the think
er afterward;" In other words, the tech
meal part must be mastered before the
picturesque Is attempted II seems a tru-
ism TO say that art Is long" but Il IS
nevertheless one OF the most dlficult
truths TO realize. People who give their
children opportunities TO study painting
expect that they will be able TO paint pic
lures" In a short time, whereas IN music
they recognize the fact that Il takes years
OF study TO produce any result whatever.
But while Il Is delightful 20 sec this new
ly awakened enthusiasm fec art and 70
prophesy great results from the great
number OF pupils who are devoting their
lives 10 It's study, the problem cannot help

EXPERT cOTSTERFEITERs.
Instances where Uncle Sam Is Pow
erIess to Punish Them.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
b. d. Haskins. a well known detective OF
Chattanooga, said to reporter:
ut Is very seldom that real counter
felters are caught, the proportion being
smaller than in any other class Of crlmi-
nails, although the reward for their cap
ture is always certain and the best detec-
tives Of the United States service are con-
stantly on the search for them. Penlten-
tlaries are full Of the agents OF counter
feiters. poor devils who pass some OF the
coin, but there are very few of the prln-
cipals. There are certain well-understood
methods Of capturing criminals, such as
information furnished by false friends
who hope for a reward, letters sent back
TO relatives or to sweethearts, the rowing
principle which some time or other al
most always brings man back to the
scene OF his crime, peaching Of pals who
hope thereby TO escape, and others, with
which every officer Is familiar. But these
do not work with counterfelters
There are makers OF spurious coin whose
work Is bungling and who are usually cap
tured, but these are generally mere tyros.
Dies and other paraphenalla are often
captured, but they are very imperfect,
while we know that there are perfect ones
In existence. We get a lot Of babbit metal
or lead occasionally, but we know that
there Is plenty OF coin that an expert can
scarcely detect any difference In the metal
between that and the genuine. Another
thing not usually known except 20 officers
who have made Il n study IL that there are
dies exact counterparts Of the genuine.
and metal used that Is exact in
its proportions, dolarp that would pass
