EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS.
Some Historic and Famous Pictures 10 be
Seen In Portland.

Augusta people who visit Portland
should not fail to visit the store of
Hooper, Son a. Leighton and view the
three great paintings now on exhibit
ton on the fourth floor Of their estab-
lishment These works, which are Of
water colors. and are believed to be the
largest water colors in the world. are
entitled: Jerusalem in the Time Of
Christ" Jerusalem as 1t is Today"
and Jerusalem as 1t May Yet Be"
They are by Tage Wedege. the great
Danish artist They are TO be shown
by MIR. II. T. Fryer, who it remem-
bered as the exhibitor Of a great paint
ing OF Niagara at the same place about
two years ago. and who gives in his
recital Of the more important facts
connected with the history Of the pict-
ures a large measure of instruction
and entertainment.
The paintings are each S1ax10 feet in
dimensions; they afford views Of the
City OF the Great King covering, al
least in the first instance. a stretch OF
six miles. The descriptive text Of
Josephus is followed in the painting Of
the first picture. The Temple of the
Jews, Herod's palace. the amphitheatre
the hall Of records. the judgment hall,
the palace Of Caiaphas. the high priest.
who condemned Jesus. and other build
ings referred to in the record of the
supreme tragedy of all time. are vivid
ly represented. The spectator is sup
posed to be standing on the Mount of
Olives. with the city spread beneath
him, the valley OF Jehosophat in the
foreground.
Quite as attractive picture as this
to some is No. 2. representing the ia
nous city as it is today; for although
the representation is of time in the
rainy season. and the sky is dark. the
sense of the structural is SO pleasing
that the observer fingers long over the
view, scarcely able to realize that this
city of 10000 people. SO ideahzed by
painter and poet, is filthy and. full of
stenches.
The third painting is imaginative
after the reproduction of the rural
region. and shows the minds view Of
Jerusalem as it shall be lin the hast
day." when The mountain of the Lords
house shall he established in the top
Of the mountains. and shall be exalted
above the hills. and when all nations
shall flow unto it.
The public are iEtlted to call at the
store and see these fare paintings.

State street is attracting the atten-
tion of all the visitors in, the city. and
they remark at the apparent good work
that is going on. That section betwee 81,
Green and Grove streets is already a
credit to the city The sidewalk in tina
section is now nearly complete.
At the corner OF State and Grove
streets it will be made to loolu more re-
spectacle than formerly. The rounded
curbing that goes around the corner
where the waiting room sets. and the
paving that is being done in that
square will make 1t look finished.
Already the paving along the side of
the Electric car track. and on the OPP
posite side, are layed from Grove street
south about half the distance, and the
crushed rock will soon be hauled in for
that section. Through here it was not
necessary to take out much dirt, as the
street had to be raised. but from the
front of Col Farrington's to the cor
ner of Capitol street a large amour:
OF earth has been hauled away. Just
now the street isn't thing of beauty
but all can see how much better than
formerly 1t will look when it is all
done.

Inc people OF the East Side are prOud
OF their stone crusher that is DOING
such good work for the streets. They
cannot be blamed for feeling as they
do. for the city engineer and others who
are competent to judge. say the worn
done by the machine Is far superior to
that OF the one on the West Side. The
East Side crusher. besides being more
modern. breaks the stone in a manner
that road builders say is the best way
It leaves sharp edges on the small
pieces OF rock. The other crusher 1t is
said. gives the edges of the broken rock
smooth. round surface.
The crusaler that the East Side peo-
pie call their own. was purchased by
the city in July, and put into operation
in the latter part OF that month in the
place where it now stands at the head
of Murray street. The crusdher is nam
