WAR ON THE SALOONS.
Sunday Closing Movement to Be Pushed
at Salem.
Liquor Dealers Will Make a Firm stand
IN the Matter--Have Formed
an Organization.

II now looks as though q saloon war
is imminent in Salem. The fact, and il
undoubtedly il fact, that several "a
looms were open ON Sunday last, will be-
made use of 10 precipitate the matter,
A number Of the gentlemen who petit
toned tho city council for the enforce
ment Of the city's Sunday laws, yolun-
teercd TO lead in the matter by swearing
out warrants for the prosecution of the
offenders for violation Of the Sunday
law. II this is not effective, the city's
officers propose 10 call upon the prosecut-
ing attorney TO take the matter in hand
Ia the absence of "A city attorney upon
whom the duty would properly devolye,
and push the eases, This means pretty
thorough shaking up of the proposition,
and may involve long drawn out litiga-
tion.
The saloon men, ON the other hand
claim that they will contest every step
taken. They perfected thorough or
ganimtion on Saturday and have en-
gagged the best legal talent 60 protect
their interests They will not reveal
what their intentions are, but the un-
dercurrcnt OF talk ON the streets would
indicate that they propose To make u
determined fight, as they call il, "ior
their rights"
The saloon men are bold to say that
they are subjected 90 unfair COM
petition by the lllihee Club, which pays
the city no revenue, hut takes the
cream of the business, Some even in
cluded tho drug stores la this class of
competitors. They hatly state that
they don't propose 10 pay $500 year
for privileges that others enjoy for moth
ing and have protection in, while
they have none, Some OF the saloon
men say they will start "clubs' and thus
evade the law as has been done in
other places with moro or less success.
one liquor dealer remarked when no
paid in license Saturday that il was
his last payment and stated that he eN-
expected to open a lunch counter and
serve wines and beer with his meals
as is being done at Portland, san Fran
cisco and other points,
The saloon business az Salem is in
an unsatisfactory aud, some say
Improbable condition. Two have
quit business the past sixty days.

IN PECULIAR PLACES.

The recently reported discovery OF
the famous Duchess OF Gainsborough
painting I'm the cellar OF a house at
Chelsea is "A striking instance of the
peculiar places in which works OF art
by old Flemish and Italian masters
have been discovered. II would, in
deed, come as a great surprise TO those
art masters TO know the almost de-
grading circumstances undere when
their pictures have been found.
A curious case came To llght snort
time ago regarding one of David Te-
niers' famous works of art. A picture
dealer found IL among quantity Oh
Cany asses which n second hand dealer
was exhibiting for sale at Montmartre.
The dealer mad put them on one side
as worthless, and the collector, giahc-
ing through them, came across one
which was a genuine painting Dy ie-
niers. All doubt OF its authenticity
was removed when the monogram OF
the famous Flemish master was traced
in the corner of the picture.
One OF Titians finest pictures mas
been discovered In most peculiar
place. 1t Is owned by some halt-castes
in Mexico, and adornS one or tneir
churches. Fabulous sums nave Deen
offered for IL by artists who have peeh
to examine this painting, but the own
ers viii not part with IL. Ii is guarded
I'm a most careful manner. and every
visitor is accompanied by an Indian
while the picture is being viewed. Ex-
pelts who have seen it agree as 10 its
genuineness. The painting is l6 feet
long By feet high, and is scene OF
the entombment OF Christ. It's state
of preservation Is marvellous, consider
&c Al a
elapsed since the artist painted 1t.
Not long ago "A genuine Van Dyke
was discovered in that painters native
city, Antwerp, i'm a most singular man
ncr In one of the poorer neiShDof-
hoods two houses partly collapsed,
which necessitated their being demol-
ished together. While the work was in
operation, one of the workmen came
across very dirty painting, which
ne threw on one side with some other
rubbish
one of the other men, who had n
little talent for painting. took 1T home,
with the intention of cleaning IL. He
was amazed at the exquisite coloring,
and. thinking that he might, perhaps,
be able To sell It. consulted picture
dealer. The dealer gave him n small
sum for the canvas. and a few days
later an eminent artist passing the
shop recognized il as n genuine work
of Sir Anthony Van Dyke. He pur-
chased IL. and. although he has re-
ceived big offers for ii, refuses TO sell.
A painting by Memlinz was recently
discovered by a couple OF mountaineer-
ing tourists in Italy. While op one OF
their expeditions, they had occasion To
rest in hut owned by "a man who lived
the life of a hermit The first thing
which caught their eyes on entering
Hn but
on further examination proved TO be
"A fine specimen of Memlinz's art The
hermit. strange To say. knew it's value
and refused to part with VI. He said
that at his death he should beaueath
the picture to a church which he named
and IL would be placed there as an al
tar piece--Tit-B Bits.
