WASHINGTON ARTISTS
ON EASTER PARADE
Private View of the EXhibi-
tion Given Yesterday.
Gilbert Gaurs Fighting Line" a
Great Battle Picture.
Mrs Chiid's Jonquils and jerome
UhI's Show of n Building

An opportunity was afforded the friends Of
4he Society of Washington Artists to take
:, private view of the pictures placed in
qheir galleries for their ninth annual exhi-
hilton yesterday morning and afternoon.
The galleries will be thrown open to the
general public tomorrow morning and II
bids fair to be the most successful ex-
hibit that has ever been held by this pop
MAR society. which includes almost every
artist Of prominence in the city. The
galleries Of the society have been changed
somewhat since the occasion of the last
exhibition. and it is thought that the
change Will be a great improvement. The
long gallery in which the pictures have
been shown heretofore has been divided
snto three sections and each section has
been provided with additional walls, thus
affording more hanging space and proyid-
5nc room for a larger and better exposition
of the works of the various members Oh the
society.
one of the first objects TO attract atten-
sion is the collection Of Japanese paintings
loaned the society by Mrs. Alexander
Graham Bell. These paintings were col
Iected by Mrs Bell while on recent WISH
10 Japan and have all the peculiarities OF
The Japanese art brought into prominence
There are twenty pictures in the coilectioh
representing almost every tone and ex-
preston that is known TO the Japanese ar
list.
In the first OF the exhibition parlor'
proper a number of exceptionally fine can
vases have been hung. The pastel repre-
senting the return OF spring by Mrs. Chill
is probably the most notable figure in th'
room There are also a number of flint
landscapes shown here. In the center o.
the next room u. s. J. Dunbar's idylie
bust representing winter has been placed
This is one OF the few pieces OF sculpture
shown in the exhibition and drew forti
many favorable comments from those pres
sni at the private view yesterday In thi
room Edward l.. Morse's portrait OF tn
venerable President OF Yale has also beer
given a place The portrait is said to b.
an excellent likeness of DIR. Dwight, asid
from its artistic merits. and many favora
bic comments were made upon IL.
Landscapes and portraits are TO be foun
in all of the rooms, the best works OF tn
members Of the society being shown Al
together the exhibition was one of the mos
pleasing that has been given by the Wash
fngton artists from the beginning OF thei
career. and ii will merit more than usua
attention on the part OF the art-ioyin
people
The honors were divided between tw
important and attractive pictures. On

CALIFORNIA.
FROM THE FIRST SETTLEMENT
DOWN TO STATEHOOD.
Arrival Of Fremont in 1645 the
Eorerunner Of Americas
Acquisition.

The first permanent settlement III
what is now the State Of California was
made at San Diego in 1859. Under the
joint management Of church and state
the settlement of Lower California mad
been begun about the year 100. when
the Jesuit fathers established some SIX
teen missions ON that peninsula. Iney
were succeeded some sixty-eight years
later by the Franciscans and Dolnini-
cans. the former under the guidance ..
Father Junipero Sierra, who proceeoeu
on to upper California
On July IA. 1869, Gaspar de Portala'
who commanded the expedition tnat
founded the San Diego Mission, came
northward to Monterey, and In COM
pany with Father Sierra continued
northward and discovered San Fran
cisco Bay This they named after San
Francisco de Assist, and seven years
later they established a preside on the
site of the present Mission Dolores, on
Dolores street, San Francisco. From
that time the establishment of missions
was rapid and in 1923 we find a record
of twenty-one missions in the State, the
farthest north being the Mission San
Francisco Solano, in Sonoma County.
UNDER MEXICAN RULE.
In 1921 Mexico obtained her independ-
ence from Spain, and plunged into the
mysteries of Statecraft, and in 49,
Pablo Vincente de Sela was appointed
the first Governor of California under
the new rule. By this time three great
nations were casting longing eyes on
this territory. England, France ana
the United States all recognized that 1t
possessed boundless resources, besides
hundreds of miles of coast line border
ing on the Pacific Mexico's position
was becoming greatly weakened by
constant internal revolutions, and these
spread to the new California. Amerl-
can traders and free hooters had en-
tered the country and spread them
selves all over the province, and sowed
the seeds of discord and revolt among
the inhabitants. Many of the more
reckless and evil-minded readily list
ened to their suggestions, adopted their
counsels and broke out into open hos
tilities. The first attack was directed
against the Mission of Santa Cruz,
which the revolutiionists captured and
plundered. They next attacked Mon
terey and plundered that place. From
these occurrences it was clear that the
condition of the mission was one of the
greatest perils The spirit of discord
had spread among the people, hostility
to the authority of the fathers had be
come common, while assertions from
the villages We're of frequent and al
most common occurrence. The military
was entirely inadequate to suppress this
internal strife, and to further compli-
cate matters the Government began to
interfere with the rights Of the fathers,
finally passing an Act ordering the

WOMAN PERISHES IN FOREST.
Mrs. Stephen Mccain Becomes Los
and Dies from Exposure.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, May 21.-Mrs.
Stephen Mccain, who resides on a
farm about ten miles from this city.
became lost in the forest and persisted.
Her remains have not yet been dis
covered. She went with her 13-year-
old daughter to look for the cows
They wandered far into the forest
which surrounds their home and,
darkness coming on, they became lost.
With the night storm came up, and
cold rain, lasting until morning,
poured on them. They continued to
wander all night, but at daylight Mrs.
Mccain became exhausted and chilled
through, and, being in delicate health,
died. The girl stayed with her until
the end came, when she continued her
attempts to get out of the woods
finally arriving at a farm house She
tied her apron to tree near the
corpse, but the searchers have been
yet unable to find the body, although
over 100 men are now scattered
through the wood engaged in the |
search. Mrs. Mccain was 80 years of |
age and had resided in this country for |
The past 80 years. The little girl is
i'll as result of the exposure
md suffering she underwent.

Of-WrecNage Cleared Away.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, May 23.-Trouble
in this city between the Chicago &,
Northwestern and the Chicago. Mil
waukee and ST. Paul railroads. which
has been carried on for the past week
over the right of way for sidetrack
possession, has been settled in a vav

message from Supt. H. B. Earring Of
Milwaukee notifying him to have all
Milwaukee road engine crews and sec
ton crews that have been on constant
guard here for a week past, to at once
leave the scene Of trouble and return
to work. Supt. Earling says that the
officials came to an understanding that
under no circumstances would either
road take advantage of the other with
out first having the matter settled in
a private way or through the courts.
Wrecking crews on both roads are now

SENATOR BUCKALEW DIES.
Was for Years a Leading Democrat Of
Pennsylvania.

Bloomsbury, Pa, May 2O.-Former
United States Senator Charles r..
Buckalew died at his home
here yesterday. He came to Col
umbia county in 1S41 and in 1874
he settled at Bloomsbury. In 1850 he
was chairman of the state democratic
committee. In 1858 he was appointed
minister to Ecuador by President Blu
chanan. In 1868 he was elected to the
United States senate, succeeding David
Wilmot, republican. In 1869, he was
succeeded by John Scott. In his first
notable speech, delivered February q,
1865, on the basis of representation in
congress, he regretted that the affairs
of the war should be allowed to absorb
all other tropics, interfering with mat
tiers of civil policy which demanded
immediate attention and, at the same
time, he strongly urged the necessity
of restoring the southern states to their
representative rights. In 1870 he was
elected to the state senate for three
years. In 1872 he received the demo-
cratic nomination for governor, but
was defeated. He obtained the pas
sage by the legislature of several bills
embodying his favorite doctrine of
minority representation. Afterwards
he was elected to congress, serving in
the 50th and 51st sessions. He retired
from public life ten years ago.
