OF the city.
OF the collection about 500 pictures
are framed and hung, and the exhibit
ton of this number takes up about 5000
square feet Of wall space AL the pic
lures are Photographic reproductions In
the carbon or platinum types and are
extremely fine specimens of photo
graphic art The subjects are selected
with reference to their suitability for
the study Of the attendants on the pub
lie nchools, but any one can obtain an
EXCELLENT beginning Of an art education
by q VISIT to the exhibit. The catalogue
whseh is published in connection with
the exhibition gives the subject of each
pctflre, the artists name and the date
of .iis birth and death, the school to
whtth he belonged, and the place in
whseh the original Of the reproduction
noE hangs. This is altogether body Of
information that it would be difficult,
If rot impossible, for the average stu
deft to dig out of books for himself.
II took Professor Goodnough, the
supervisor of drawing in Brooklyn
Schools, assisted by Miss Herrick Of the
Ne9f York Teachers College, and Miss
Shsttuck Of the Pratt Institute Of
Brebklyn, over a year to prepare the
catalogue and select the collection.
Flank j. Darrah of the drawing de-
paIfment Of the Worcester schools, is
mum interested in the exhibition, as
are several of the other prominent
meshbers Of the Art League and 1t is,
Their hope that the exhibit may be well
patJonized, as they believe it to be for
the interests of all the people of the
city to have the spirit Of the love OF
art ineulcated in the youth of the city
as farly as it is possible 1t is thought
that a collection like this that is so
admirably calculated to introduce the
school children to the best works Of all
ages must be very important factor
in ouch education.
The exhibition will be open till fur

SOCIALIST DOCTRINES.
A Young Providence Member of the
Party Speaks On the Common.

Charles Krowen of Providence. a
| young representative Of the socialist
labor party, addressed an audience of
about 400 people on the common yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Krowell placed
| special emphasis on the fact that the
only way to attain success for the
workingman is to contest the right of
the capitalists at the ballot box.
The speaker said socialism is the ideal
organization Of labor and not until the
workingmen of the country become
educated in the PRINCIPLES of the order
Will they do anything for their better
ment. He quoted Gladstone in the re-
mark that more material wealth was
produced during the first 30 years of
| this century than in the preceding
| eighteen centuries, and during the past
| ten years there has been more wealth
produced than during the balance of
| time since the Christian era But in
| spite Of this fact the workingman is
no better off. In fact he Is sinking lower
and lower, working for a bare animal
existence.
The only way to overcome the capt.
| talistic rule is, instead Of voting each
year for democrat or republican, as the
case might be- to go to the polls and
casta ballot for the men who have the
| principles of the workingman at heart
ment on the part of the government
during the recent campaign causes
every mans blood to boil, and remarks
are heard on every hand against Algcr
and Mckinley. These men are not to
blame, but the politicians who elect
them to their respective offices, all Of
whom are looking for money, no mat
ter how 1t may be obtained
The speaker drew a vivid picture of
the workingnan of the United States
within the course of a few years If
something is not done for his uplifting.
He pictured the laboring classes as Nv
ing in squalid huts in much the same
condition as the slaves previous to the
rebellion. their miserable dwellings,
clustered about the house of the capi-
talist who furnished the means of earn
ing a bare existence.
The party is making active plans for
the coming campaign. Speakers have
been secured and meetings will be held
all over the state. From the present
outlook, socialism will be more in evil
dence at the polls this year than ever
before in the political history of the
country.

though the brighter side of the problem
were the broader one. after all"
Mrs. Booth was compelled to cut short
her talk with The Spy man, as she had
other engagements to fill during the
day, but before going she did not fail
said that she had heard with pleasure
of the kindly attitude it had taken to-
ward the Volunteer movement, and she
also had some good words to say for
its general reputation for leadership in
all that tends toward the welfare and
morality Of the people it serves.
With pleasant wish that the scribe
might be at the meeting this evening
and an expression of pleasure at hav-
ing met him as the representative Of
his paper Mrs. Booth was gone, taking
with her the load of cares and RESPONSE
bilities that are so heavy, yet borne
with fortitude that is as remarkable
as IL is admirable,

J. A. Hays of Boise City, Ida, one of
the officers of the Big Five Placer Min
ing company. operating on the Boise
river, and who was in attendance at
the mining congress last week, as men
toned in these columns at the time, is
sanguine that Boise has a great future
in store as a mining center for large
scope of country in its rich mineral de-
posts, included in which are innumera-
Bile placer diggings, some OF which are
being worked or viii be operated on a
large scale in the immediate future.
In speaking of the big dredging en-
terprise on More creek, a tributary of
the Boise river, at a point about 30
miles northeast of Boise, reference to
which was made in yesterdays Herald,
Mr.. Hays states that three projects of
mammoth proportions are in course OF
consummation there, the companies en-
gagged being the Bedrock Dredging
company, the Basic Dredging company
and the New England Dredging COM
pany, each of which calculate to handle
$500 cubic yards of gravel daily, it be-
ing estimated that the dirt will run at
least 20 cents per yard in gold, although
the companies will work on such a
large scale that scent gravel can be
worked at profit.
In referring TO Willow Creek district,
q lode camp, also tributary to Boise,
Mr.. Hays expressed the utmost conf
dence as to the ultimate successful out
come of the mines of the camp, and the
assertion was made that he would be
glad to be able to secure only a six
months lease on a few of the mines
there, included in the number being the
Judas and the Easter, owned by Col
onel Dewey of mining fame, and Mr..
Hays would be willing to pay royalty
of 80 per cent, with the expectation Of
cleaning up $4,000 inside of go days, as
he knows of great pockets of high grade
ore in these properties which have been
boarded up and from which fortune
could be taken in a very brief period,
if desired.
Another property on Willow creek,
which was alluded TO in favorable
terms by Mr.. Hays, was the Check
mate, which IS owned principally by
Utah people.
