Gently Installed herself in a studio in the
Barbizon building, and is now busy with
her work In china decoration. She Uses
raised designs in rocco paste with very
good effect in her decoration, and combines
very happily these conventional arabescues
with free and graceful flower sprays. In
several of her newer pieces the color
schemes are very pleasing. In one deco
ration of violets has sounded the key note
OF q charming color scheme. and in the de-
sign upon a large vase she has chosen n
good combination of olive green and warm,
brown shades
During the intervals when he is hot oc-
cupying himself with his larger and more
important works Mr.. Macdonald often pro-
dLces canvases that are not the less at
tractfve for being comparatively slight
works. Such picture is the figure udy that
he has been busy with of late-a panel shap-
ed compositon-containing a single figure.
The girls head is slightly thrown back. and
her dark hair falling freely over her shoul-
ders, makes the one very dark spot in the
rather pale color scheme, thus centerng
the interest in the face very satisfactorily.
Even in its unfinished state it is one of the
most pleasing of the artists canvases.

Mr.. Emil Meyer has recently taken hold
of the portrait of the late Speaker Crisp
which he started Just before the congress
mans death and has carried it to compile
ton, producing, in spite of the difficulties
under which he has labored. one of the
best likenesses that has ever come from
his brush. The pose of the figure sug-
gests energy and force. and both in the
drawing and in the color it shows Mr..
Meyers best style Another interesting
portrait which is now in his studio is the
large figure of DR.. Monroe, professor of
chemistry at Columbian University. When
completed, it promises to be very good
likeness, and interesting from an artistic
standpoint well.

attendance is promised, the program
for the winter is to be arranged. During
the spring and summer meetings, at which
the students spent most of their time in
Sketchfng, were held in the open air, but
for winter meetings the club has been so
fortunate as to secure large rooms where
the exhibitions, art talks, etc, can be held.
Two important exhibitions open in New
York next week, the display of the New
York Water Color Club, which opens to-
morrow, and the fall exhibit of the Nation
al Academy of Design, which begins on
Monday. Some of the local artists are
usually represented in both of these ex-
hibitons, and to that of the Water Color
Club in particular there will probably be
several contributors this year.

INsANITY's RIGHT TO STAY.

HE plea of insanity has been worked until such
merit as it may have possessed has gone from
it. Now it is used not to shield the lunatic
but to give the evil-ninded and the pervert right
to kill A may plan a murder never so cum
ningly, carry out every detail, and inteligenty en-
deavor to escape and all he has to do if caught is
to demonstrate that at time either himself or
great uncle the second cousin of his grandmother
had been known as eccentric. This washes him Of
all blood outlines, makes a mock of justice and
places premium on assassination 1t is foolish and
wrong.
Humanity revolts against the thought of putting
a crazy out of the way by the methods apple
able to the There is real difficulty in dis
tingushng between the mentally sound and morally
responsible, and the maniac who is not conscious of
the mischief his unchecked passion may work The
difficulties artificial, erected by experts the effect
OF them to defeat the purpose of the law. When
a man has enough to think out a murder
he should be held accountable for his deed no mat
ter whether not there proof that at times he
had been addicted to Oddities Probably in ninety
nine OF a hundred the plea of insanity is
palpable and shameless fraud, worse because at the
same time it is plea of guilty and defiance to
society to do anything about it.
The instance afforded by Cheeseman over in Oak
land is sample He committed one unprovoked
murder and attempted to commit two That he de-
hanging there can be no question. Yet he
gets sent to asylum there stay until pronounced
cured, then to be tried All of which means simply
that Cheeseman is escape the penalty for his deed
By the time he shall be "cured" the witnesses will
be scattered interest in the matter dead and Cheese
will go free to kill whoever else may annoy him.
With the valuable precedent of having been in an
asylum he will be able to walk up and down the
earth seeking whom he may devour.

MORE LESSONS IN FORESTRY.

e forest fires that are now sweeping over wide
areas of Colorado and Wisconsin are furnish
ing the American people with additional dread
object lessons the subject of forest preservation
From instruction this matter it seems there is to
be no escape If we do not learn and profit by what
is taught by science and the experience of Europe
then must learn from fire and our own calamtes
The annual losses to the United States by fires in
forest lands amount in the aggregate to many mil
lions. We could afford to expend vast sums for
policing and preservation of woodlands and still
derive large profits from what such guardianship
would save to That truth is impressed upon the
public mind year after year with each returning sum-
mer, and yet soon winter comes and the Leeis-
atures meet the lessons forgotten and the legs-
laton necessary to prevent similar disasters in the
coming year are left unenacted
California has fortunately been spared this wear
such destructive fires those which are now raging
in our sister States, and yet own have been so
widely disastrous that the total loss is almost ncacul
able Surely intelligent people having keen ap-
probation of the comparative values of the natural
resources of their country will not sit idly by and
permit the richest of them be wasted and DESTROYED
by fires without making some effort to save it. Yet
any effort at forest preservation is to be made the
time has come for making it. The people should
to it that legislators be elected this fall shall
provide some form of protection for our woods at
their coming session

GAGE In SAN FRANCISCO.

Il ROM the degree of earnestness displayed by
the vast audience which assembled at the Pa
vilion on Saturday evening to welcome the
Republican candidates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor the brightest auguries may be drawn OF
the outlook for the party OF sound money prosperity
and conservative government.
1t was made apparent by thousand evidences
that the intelligence of the city has been awakened
to realization of the menace which Maguires can
ddacy carries against property, industry and thrift
and that the people recognize in Mr.. Gage the cham
pion not only of Republicansm but of Americansm
in its fullest sense.
1t is now clear that in nominating Mcguire Democ
racy committed its usual blunder Since his record
of vagaries and follies has been exposed, and his
scheme of taxation that would rob the farmer Of
his fields and the miner of his claim has been made
known, the OF justice and the intelligence OF
the people have revolted against him.
The expectations of his friends that he would carry
San Francisco by an overwhelming majority are
rapidly fading. Indeed from the impression made
upon our citizens by Mr.. Gage and from the warmth
of the cheers that accompanied his speech and ap-
proved his words at the Close it appears he is as
popular here as at his home in Los Angeles; and
that the sing1e-taxer will carry out of this city
election day any majority to Offset the vote OF the
interior counties.
notable feature of Mr. Cages speech was the
lOHc OF courtesy pcIHduSu CVCiy POIlLOH vi IT.
His defense of the Republican convention from the
ISLANDERS of the fusionists manly, and his refer
ences to old line Democrats, the stalwart Popusts
and the Silver Republicans of a nature that
proved true lberality toward those who differ from
him in politics The fine trait revealed in
the kindly manner with which he received in
terruption from a Maguireite in the audience, while
his ready wit enabled him to turn the interruption to
his advantage.
The speeches of every speaker of the evening, from
the short and spirited addresses of Jacob Nef and r.
wing NJ. Scott to the elaborate arguments of Mr..
Gage and Senator Perkins, fair in terms and
forcible in meaning They set forth the high i'm
porance of the issues, both State and national which
at stake in the canvass and revealed plainly the
of the that has been forced upon the
business interests of the people by MAGNETISM and
Organism.
These issues are not to be mistaken, nor can the
fact be ignored that their is such that they
the welfare of individuals as we'll as of the
community as a whole. This being so, Senator Per
kins fully justified in saying:
There never was better time for strayng Re-
pubcans to come back into the familiar fod there
never better time for Populsts concede that
the great principles Of Republcanism are framed for
the nations best interests; and there never was a
better time for Democrats TO purify their party
by abandoning it until it has settled back to some
honest principles that do not threaten the integrity
and very existence of nation"

A good story is told OF Lieutenant A. of

the N. G. Daily News, runs as
follows: Years ago when the said lieu
tenant was MILDLY his ship was sta
toned at Vancouver, and A. being seized
with a sudden illness, was invalided lust
before his ship sailed. The only other
officer left at the port was the chief car
penter, also invaded. The young MILDLY
had studied the Queens regulations and
the time for his examination having come
around, he applied to the senior officer
the chief carpenter-to be examined for
lieutenant, and he was accommodated

became the senior officer and his first
act of authority was to order himself to
England with dispatches, an order which
he obeyed with all haste possible, appre
hending his ship might return at ony mo-
ment. In due time he arrived at Ports
mouth and found he would have to wait
eight hours for train to London, so he
again perused the regulations bearing on
his case and found that a bearer of dis
patches should take every available
means to expedite their arrival at head
quarters He therefore ordered a special
train to London and presented himself
before the First Lord. An explanation
was requested and frankly given and he
escaped without even a reprimand, as he
had complied to the letter with the
Queens regulations. The most amusing
part of the incident was that the dis
patches no delivered contained nothing

ZOLH In A Bad WAY.

= XPERTS having pronounced lola degener-
ate, other experts were kind enough to investi-
- gate, and pronounce the other set mistaken.
Nevertheless lola has particular for graft
tude to them. Magnan says of him:
ut is that lola has orbicular contraction car
diac spasms. thoracic cramps, false angina pectors,
sensory hyperaesthesia, obsessons and impulsve
ideas; his emotivty is detective and certain of his
ideas morbid; but all this is not sufficient to affect
in any appreciable manner his intellectual processes
His strong and harmonious constitution gives him
immunity; his intellect is not contaminated"
This, Of course, is comforting to Zola and his
friends. Upon reading the symptoms impulsive
observer might have been led to conclude some
thing serious the matter. The real truth seems to
be that expert in any line likes to air his views
and will do so regardless that to sense the
views are generally ridiculous.
lola has doubtless made mistakes but If he Is in a
state of degeneracy it. the other citizens of
France would do we'll to study his constitutional
defects and copy them. If France had more citizens
such lola she would not now present the pitifu
spectacle of mock republic in which official con-
science is dead, justice sted by crime and the peo
pie trembling at the approach of crisis which Is
to determine whether they greater than the mill
tary despotism which is the backbone of Govern
ment supposed to be not oligarchy nor king
dom, but the abode Of free men
