THE ART EXHIBIT.
Expressive Portraits of Old women
Peaceful Summer Landscapes.

Delineations of the human figure form the
principal attractions of a picture gallery
No. 166, the portrait of an old Irish woman,
on exhibition at the Propylaeum is
perfectly sticky with human interest, !"
to quote G. ID. Gibson's remark about Phil
Mays works. In this old woman's resigned
and sensible face is seen the old-woman
wisdom often found among the common
people, a wisdom which caused many a
primitive race to invite old women to join
their councils in order to take advantage
of old women's experience in deciding i'm.
portant affairs. This is the old countenance
of one who never expected anything beyond
the distinctly possible, never attempted
anything beyond her capacity, and her
neat old bonnet and cloak and general air
show plainly the easily perceived feminine
decency that upholds the responsibility OF
nations.
No. 81 Is another old ,woman's portrait, a
face expressive of lifelong inability to
seize good luck, lifelong inability to derive
gusto from life, lifelong incompetency,
failure and laziness lifelong regret for un-
success. Her toil-twisted hands have never
been able to put finish upon anything
She belongs to natures great majority,
the failures. Yet there is a pathos in her
and little lowered silk shawl, a pathos in
her mild acquiescence in her fate.
I he young lady in SpectaceS, that plenti-
full production of the oculists of our coun-
try has broken into canvas and a full
length portrait of her decks the exhibition.
There she stands Invested by her spectacles
of the nymph-like charm of girlhoOd, haV-
ing the pinched nose and pursed lips that
go with spectacles, gazing at you with the
expressionless, magnified eye of the spec
tacle wearer.
Mr.. Francis Brown, of Chicago, has sent
several views around Bass lake. Indiana,
cool and fresh in style, scenes in late sum-
and pastures. the well-known farm scenes
of our own State, closed in by snug horizons
of woods. with hay stored in stacks, not in
barns, and also with glimpses of the blue
water and white sails of the lake. scenes
cheerful and calm, calm as an epitaph.
EdmOndson'S landscape, No. %, is a Won
derfully broad sketch of early summer, and
yet it carries WE'LL and Mr.. Meakin' s
river view is so broad in style. that it
seems to be painted in square blocks, or
to be made of square bits of paper pasted
upon the canvas. Broad and easy is the
way in which our Western painters go.
A certain number of people do not like to
read interesting books they like to read
books about books; d certain class DO not
like to hear music but want to hear some
thing that does not sound musical, and a
certain class of people do not like to look
at pictures, but like ,unpictorial paintings.
For such there is a profuSion of work IN
this exhibition, heads Ind figures painted
from life and yet possessed of the uninter-
estingness of copies. still lifes lacking the
inexplicable. indefnable,. indescribable
something that makes still life's pleasing,
landscapes Ike worsted embroidery, street
views not worth the expense of hanging.

Ohio Falling at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, March Pat 10 o'clock to-
night the river here was sixty feet and six
tenths, a fall of eight-tenths of a foot since
reaching maximum of sixty-one feet and
four-tenths at 1 o'clock this morning. The
weather is clear, with the mercury at forty
six degrees and tending downward. From
some distance below Cincinnati to the
headwaters of the Ohio the river is falling.
Here in Cincinnati people are visiting their
flooded houses in skiffs, stirring up the mud
dy sediment inside their dwellings so as to
have the receding waters carry off the sedi-
ment. In some of the business houses near
the river boats may be seen floating, the
occupants of which are engaged in stirring
up the mud. The condition of the few en-
barrassed railroads is about normal The
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern is open
through its main line east and is running
trains west by slight detour. Small boats
are running as usual. The New Orleans and
Memphis Packet Company will receive no
freight until the flood subsidies. Should the
weather continue fair navigation will be re-
sumed by Thursday. Tomorrow or Thurs
day the Grand Central depot will be in con-
dition for use and most of the flooded
houses will be in shape TO prepare for occu-
pancy.

DOING GOOD EVERYWHERE
A Medical Discovery That EffectuaIIy
Cures Piles i'm Every Form.

For many years physicians have expert
mented in vain, seeking a remedy which
would effectually cure piles and other rectal
troubles, without resorting to a surgical
operation. Many remedies were found to
give temporary relief but none could be
depended upon to make lasting, satisfac-
tory cure
Within a recent period, however. a new
remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure, has been
repeatedly tested in hundreds of cases and
with highly satisfactory results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pile Cure
is to instantly remove the pain and irrta-
ton generally present and from that time
on the cure rapidly progresses and before
the patient is hardly aware of it he is en-
tlrely cured. The remedy seems TO act di-
Tectiy on The nerves and blood vessels of
the parts affected as il comes into direct
contact with them and sets up a healthy
action which in perfectly natural way
brings the parts to their normal condition
The remedy does its work without any
pain or Inconvenience to the sufferer and
Is justly, considered one of the most meri-
torlous discoveries of modern medicine
Piles is one of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with which
humanity is afflicted. If neglected it fire.
Quently develops into fistula or some equal
~ fatal or incurable trouble. whereas by
the timely use of this simple but effec-
tive remedy no one need suffer a single
day from any form of piles unless they
want to.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly harm
less less containing no mineral poisons and is
also very reasonable in price, costing but
% cents package 1t is sold in drug stores
everywhere. The manufacturers of the rem
edy are the Pyramid Drug Company of
Marshall. Mich. who have placed this ex-
cellent preparation before the public only
after giving it thorough and repeated tests
in the hands of reputable physicians The
results in hundreds of cases have convinced
us that IL will not disappoint you

"FIGHTING BOB- FOR WAR.
Captain Evans Would Stop the Span

TAMPA, Fla, March 29.--"Fighting Bob
Evans spent yesterday at the Inn at Fort
Tampa and left last night for Key West to
assume command of the battle ship Iowa.
While here he talked freely in regard to the
outlook for war and what should be done.
He is firm in his belief that the Maine was
blown up by the Spanish, and said: The
vessel was in a Spanish harbor and was
blown up by a mine placed there by Span
ish officials The mine was sprung by some
one familiar with its location and the wires
leading to it. / do not say that the Spanish
government knew of the plot to blow UP
the Maine but the fact that it was done in
Havana harbor is sufficient TO hold the
Spaniards responsible. | do not believe the
President can hold Congress in check until
next fall. Immediate action is necessary.
and | believe that there will be war very
shortly. If | was a betting man / would
take all the bets offered by those who do
not believe that there will be war. / would
also bet a hundred to ten that an attempt
will be made to assassinate General Lee if
war is declared.

Key West is in an almost defenseless con-
dition. A Spanish fleet could lie at a safe
distance and shell the town. AS for Tampa

bay and blowing them to pieces The rail-

day a resolution expressing confidence in
the wisdom and patriotism of the admin
