Craftsmanship

the art exhibition for the benefit of the
sufferers was very satisfactory, this
evening. The exhibition opened at 2
o'clock, this afternoon, with something
less than 200 pictures, some of which
are wei worth seeing.
Mrs Clarence C. Coulter shows a col
lection of water colors, her own work,
that displays a high order Of talent.
The coAection includes landscapes,
marine pieces and figure or two. Mrs.
Coulter seems to have fancy for Cd
dities in the way of old fashioned
homesteads.
A water color showing the entrance to
Grasemere, the estate owned by DR.. 1.
De Yer Warner, at Fairfield, Ct. is very
true in detail and drawing. 1t is loaned
by c. L. S. Hammond.
Miss Mary S. Morse loans a number
of plaster casts that are interesting,
One shows frieze from the Alhambra,
and another q figure from the Parthe-
non. Some reproductions of heads.
found among the ruins of Pompeii. are
exceedingly interesting. They are in the
same collection. Mrs. w. S. Doggett
has sent in some water colors that are
worth looking at. They are by her
niece, Miss Clara Bell, VINO once lived
here.
Mrs. Ella A. Fiske and Mrs William
DalrymPle show water colors by them
selves. Wellington i. Parkhurst shows
several views. Mrs. Ellen X. Stevens
has sent in three pictures George f.
Harlow, metropolitan engineer, shows
a number Of pencil sketches Photo
graphs are displayed by John L. Hill
dreth, Jr., Louis q. Beck, Horace A.
Thissell, David Dias and Dr. w. o.
johnson. Mr. Hildreth is the photog-
raphar in the metro Solitaa wafer board
Ferdinand Rupert. New York city,
shows photographs Of the Dewey arch.
He is the son-in-law of Rev and Mrs
F. c. f. Scherff. Joseph e. MCGOWAN
has contributed volume of etchings
Capt. Peter J. Cannon contributes views
of the statue of the Lady of Sorrows,
from church in Santiago. The picture
was given to him by a Cuban who is
related to Evangeline Cisneros, the
young Cuban woman who became a
popular heroine in this country by her
escape from a Spanish prison.
Chief Of Police Oren B. Bates is con-
WINGED that an automobile patrol wag-
on would be cheaper for the town than
the one it now maintains, which is
drawn by horse that has to be board
ed at much expense. 1t has been Sc
riously talked over and will certainly
result in something of the kind as soon
as the town can afford it. Only lack
of money prevented the purchase of an
automobile patrol wagon, when the
present wagon was purchased. An au-
tomobiIe could be kept beside the po-
lice station. 1t would be always ready,
and it would be cheaper in the long run
than the patrol in use.
Samuel r. Dutton, superintendent of
the schools in Brookline, is going to talk
to the ladies of the Clinton WOmeii' s
club, tomorrow afternoon, on "Self-ac-
tivity in school and home" The club
has invited the school teachers and the
superintendent of schools to be present.
The meeting will be in G. A. r. hall.
1t is understood here that the CONSOLE
dation of the Bigelow Carpet Company
and the Lowell mills is the Inaugural
ton of new policy. Hitherto the
Bigelow Company has worked entire
ly or almost entirely on orders. 1t has
not followed the custom prevailing
among most manufacturers of manu-
featuring for stock, and taking a
chance Of disposing of the goods. Also,
the mills have confined themselves al
most exclusively to certain higher
grades of carpets.
In the future more carpets of grades
somewhat cheaper will be made. 1t is
likely that the local mills will be much
buster as a result of the change. 1t is
understood that few changes will oc-
cur among the heads of departments.
George Foster, arrested last night for
begging of Chief of Police Frank p.
Babcock. was sent to the house of cor
rection today for four months Inc
sentence was imposed by Judge c. c.
Stone
Republicans are agitated by the ques-
tion who shall be chairman of the town
committee. Frank e. Howard, clerk
of district court has been spoken or.
He is likely to be the choice Of the
committee unless other candidates APP
pear within a few days. c. Frank
Fairbanks is also spoken of, but 1t is
doubtful if he would accept the post.
Mr.. Fairbanks is president of the
Young Mems Republican Club.

exception of Hipson and Bartlett.
