Good for Scott Taylor !

Certain persons who hadn't the good
of the Republican party at heart made
much ado over the announced inten-
ton Of Scott Taylor. the Second ward
colored leader to bolt Captain Dovener
at the coming election. These same
persons will find little comfort in a
perusal of the following signed state
ment. handed the IntelllSencer last
night by Mr.. Taylor:
To the Citizens of Wheeling:-
A few weeks ago l determined to
sever my connection with the Repub-
lican party Of this city. with special
reference to the congressman and
commissioner. l felt that had 4 griev-
ance which mcrlted such rebukc as
could administer with the ballot AZ
ter comforting with friends. and feel
Ing that party success Is more import.
ant than the triumph of any personal
grievance, therefore have determined
to vote for the entire ticket. and re-
guest my friends TO bury all personal
Considerations. and support the entire
Republican ticket. S. N. TAYLOR.

He says Of the animals of Canada The
elk is of the size of horse or mule Many
extraordinary medical qualities are
ascribed TO the hoof OF the left foot of this
animal. 1t is dangerous to approach very
near this animal when he is hunted. as he
sometimes springs furiously on his pur-
suers and tramples them to pieces. To pre-
vent this the hunters throws his clothes to
him. and while the deluded animal spends
his fury on these he takes proper meas
ures TO dispatch him. There is carnivor-

THE TENTH ANNUAL EXHIBIT
A Fine Display OF Paintings by
Washington Artists.

While not as extensive as upon former
occasions, the tenth annual exhibit of the
Society of Washington Artists is commend
able for the high standard of excellence in
the works presented. A private view was
given yesterday between 10 o'clock in the
morning and 10 at night at their rooms
1920 Connecticut Avenue northwest.
Among the more notable pictures is a
magnificent portrait of Secretary Gage,
which occupies the place of honor at the
western extremity of the gallery.
Not less important in artistic excellence
are the portraits by Miss Mueder and Prince
Troubetzkoy. Mr.. Moser, whose critical art
reviews in The Sunday Times are attract
ing wide notice. shows two pictures-one a
large landscape and the second a portrait of
a young girl against background Of APP
pie blossoms. This is one of the best pic
lures exhibited and attracted much atten-
ton fer its fine color and delicacy of treat
ment. Mr.. Moser is known as a water
color painter, but he demonstrated on this
canvas that he is equally efficient in oil.
Mr.. Moser is the societys secretary and
very active in local art affairs.
There are fine landscapes by Max Weyl,
E. c. Messer, Robert Coleman Child. Spen-
Ger B. Nichols Ed Siebert, and other mem
bers of the society.
Society crowded the gallery coming and
going. The general opinion is that the ex-
hibition is better than in former years.

every other tradesman concerned in the
