Mr.. c. Fl. Ruth was alternate for
Mr.. d. McIlvaney. of Newport News.
Mr.. Ruth was a Maynard man ana his
vote was so cast until Mr.. Mcllvaney
arrived. and claimed his place. This
produced a complication which Mr.. w.
O. Kelly entered TO enllveu into dis
order. The dispute involved the whole
convention and threatened 10 disturb
the peace till the question WAS AMIGA
bly, settled by Capt, X. G. Marshall,
OF Portsmouth,. acting chairman. Capt.
Marshall ruled that u principal could
demand a proxy at any time and re-
sumo the same duties that he had dele
gated at will. The power TO delegate
involved the power to resume. The
most complimentary and genuine bou-
quets Mere those tossed at Capt L. C.
Marshall for rcdeeminS disorderly
convention of excited men. AT times
the convention was beyond the control
OF any one else. Capt. MarShalns
courtesy and voice restored order.

from blowing and reaping, and yet had
an equal share with his fellows. At
length, when the peasants began to
take music as 4 matter OF course, and
forgot to tell the piper every morning
what a gifted fellow he was, he decided
that they did not appreciate a good
artist, and didn't know one when they
heard one So he went away to Paris
and began to play very different music
from that which he had played for the
hay-makers, music that did not give
pleasure or delight except in a dry,
barren way. hut people went to hear him
because it gave them an opportunity OF
saying clever things and writing articles.
Now these people who got the music
were not really the people who paid the
musician. for they produced nothing
and did no work, but wrung their
money from the peasants and with it
bought jewels and music. So the hay
makers still paid for the music, though
now they heard none of it. This. Count
Tolstoi claims. is the present status of
art.

While Miss Adams was talking 1
could not help thinking of the letter
that Turgeneiff wrote Tolstoi from his
death bed, urging him. begging him to
abandon his philanthropic madness and
give himself again to the great art
which be had once enriched. When
Count Tolstoi lived il the world and
wae. as he assures me, very bad man,
he wrote some OF the greatest novels in
the worlds literature. Now that he
lives like serf and spends his strength
for bis convictions. he writes fables for
heavy-browed peasants. The compare
son is poor argument for godly living.
But the gist OF the whole matter is this.
in these times man cannot live away
from the stress OF the battle. A weak
man or a vicious man who in the long
run makes for good is more useful thar
saint who hides 40 the cloister.
Count Tostoi argues that art Las
grown too far away from the people.
No. il is the people who have grown,
and art with them. He argues that no
greater poetry has been written than
the "Iliad" which came almost directly
from the people. But verses from the
people OF today would be very different
stuff The life OF the peasant today lie
less Independently personal, more COM
pick than that of the Argive kings.
laborer today are Influenced by tele-
graph reports, stock markets, questions
OF transportation. So.the art that ex-
presses life today must be more complex
than the art OF the Homeric Greeks.

Sc lie ha ocurrido hablar de los Milo

de la riqueza esta limitado q America.
Y hay, sin embargo, en- China quien
puede competir con los Millonarios
amelicanos. Ejemplo ell mas notable
es Ell famoso Li-Hung Chang, manda-

tario de inmensos terrenos procedentes
