THE snowMAN's ARTS.

The Snowman Is almost more in evil
dence than any other creation on this
earth OF ours. His instincts are the
keenest, his ambition the most irro-
| pressible; nothing IL too solemn or too
| light for the exercise of his genius,
nothing too important or too mediocre
to escape his distinguished attention.
Formerly his traits were exhibited
mainly in securing n control Of places
or persons or things to which attached
a measure Of public interest-and
these he allowed the curious to visit
and view-for consideration. From
the possession Of the real thing,
whether animate or inanlmate. 1t was
but a short step to the pictorial repre-
sentation and the wax-work fac
slmilc. And now he has added, thanks
to the photograph and the phono-
graph. these important adjuncts Of re-
alism. appealing 10 the sense Of vision
and that of hearing,which leave hard
ly anything to be desired in the line
OF accurate reproduction.
At perhaps a hundred places In this
small city may be heard for five cents
an echo--albeit somewhat squeaky-of
the famous orchestral pieces, band
tunes, topical songs and stump speech

on their original presentation. Last

AN AusrIcIous CONFERENCE.


The News" congratulates the Lat
ter-day Saints on the opening of an
bther General Conference under aus
pIces so exceedingly favorable. In
the mercy of our Heavenly Father
lhe life OF His venerable servant. our
beloved President MILFORD Woodruff,
has been spared to meet again with
the people to whose welfare he has de-
voted more than two-thlrds of his
long existence in mortality. and with
gratifying strength of body and vigor
Of mind he is prepared to testify. as
ever, of the restoration of the Gospel
Ind the divinity OF the work estab-
llshed in these last days. For unnum-
bered other blessings also have the
Saints real cause for thanksgiving
Ind gratitude. The Church is strong
Pr than ever before. with every or
Eanization and department thereof in
proper and excellent working order.
The shepherds of the flock were never
animated with greater zeal and in
tegrity in looking after the spiritual
needs of the souls of those entrusted
TO their watchcare than they
bre today The people them
felves are more punctual in
attending to their duties, more
susceptible to the whisperings of the
Spirit, more devoted to the cause they
have espousad, more experienced in
detecting the tricks Of the adversary
md the wiles OF designing men, than
has been the case for many years. The
reports from the Elders abroad are of
h uniformly encouraging character and
u spirit Of honest inquiry and fair
treatment on the part of the world
appears to be manifest wherever the
missionaries go. At home the Saints
have been prosnered in their basket
md in their store. Some OF them have
had to learn bitter lessons, but they
are all the better for the Instruction.
Those who have unwisely acted either
In temporal or spiritual matters are
themselves convinced OF their errors.
and are generally seeking TO profit by
the experiences gained. Ficlds,

all these have prospered and yielded
hbundantly. Truly the Lord has been
kind to His people, ana is bestowing
in rich measure O fulhllment OF the
promises made to them and concern
ing the land OF their habitation. It is
doubly good for them to meet in Con-
ference under such conditions. and,

found that the ticket haG drawn $75(
there was roar and Wong Chung as

CALIFORNIA ARTISTS
A Young Angeleno Whose Work Has
Already Received Recognition

The artists of California, like it's other
products, are making themselves felt
in the outer world, and their promise
of talent and merit finds realization
among art loving people Elmer Waoh-
tel, in London. Guy Rose Dubois Knight
ard others in New York, have found a
high place, while c. ". Traver we'll
known through his poster and cover de-
signs, is now studying in Munich,
through the kindness of an apprecia-
tive American admirer. The latest to
receive notice is Master ]. D. Gleason,
young artist born in Los Angeles and
now with the Union Photo Engraving
company. The Inland Printer of Chi
cago, noted for the great excellence of
it's printing and illustration, in superb
January number publishes sketch of
Gleason, accompanied by four repro
ductions of his work, two In zinc etch-
ing, unique initial, fancy tailpiece,
and two half tones from india ink draw
ings Of O. ship and old violin.
This young artist is but fifteen years
of age, practically self-educated The
magazine mentioned says of him: "a
lad doing the work of the character
shown certainly gives promise of great
excellence in the future. 1t
will be our pleasure to note the fulfil
ment of the brilliant promises which his
work indicates"
