AT the Art Exhibit.


The Helman-Taylor art exhibit at Lii
brary hall is still drawing large crowds,
and the people who fail to attend are
missing an excellent opportunity of
seeing a very fine collection of pictures
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
mornings the school children have the
right of way and it is a noticeable fact
that when they go once they are anx-
ious to go a second time; every after
noon finds a great many children there
with their catalogues, studying the
pictures carefully, comparing the same
subjects by different masters.
All have their faYorites. One little
tot of seven at once selected the picture
of Christ in the Temple, by Hoffman,
and insisted that her mama buy it.
Another little girl chose BOdenhausen's
Madonna and the Arrival of the Shep-
herds by Lerolle. as her faVorites. The
majority of the children, however,
prefer the pictures of animals. The
boys invariably choose the pictures of
battles, such as The Taking of York
town. Napoleon's Last Great Attack,
and others of a like nature.
All of the Library hall pictures have
been removed, with the exception of the
large oil painting of Cortez burning his
ships, which has been there for num-
Der of years and is valued at several
thousand dollars, and the picture ION
the Lagoon" which has been recently
purchased by Mr.. Wilder.

eyes. An imposing battery of field, OPP
era and other short and long range
glasses was leveled toward him.
Roberts. says correspondent, is not
reconciled to the stern fact that he was
not allowed to take the oath of office,
and that, therefore. the salary that would
be his, his mileage, allowance for clerk
hire and other perqusites are lost. He
feels that the Government has not acted
justly by him; that he had been duly and
legally elected, and that the Government
has stepped in and declared that the YER
dict of the sovereign State of Utah
amounts to nothing, and that the States
representative is not worthy of receiving
fair and just treatment.
Asked what action, if any, would be
taken toward obtaining his rights to a
seat, Mr.. Roberts said he did not feel
that the question had been settled by the
vote of the House. He did not know
what form the action would take, but
was of opinion that the State of Utah
would appeal the matter TO the Supreme
Court of the United States. The voters
of q sovereign State had elected him to
the national Congress, and he did not De
lieve they would quietly submit to such
treatment as they had received.

atty Island CannibaIs Eat ships Crew.

II. q. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says: New business for. manufac-
turers this year has been light in some
branches and much below the production
last month. sit is perhaps too often for
gotten that industries start this year with
larger contracts ahead than ever before,
and when half the work of the whole
year has been ordered in advance there
cannot continue quite the same activity
in new buying. The WOODEN manufacture
er has just opened new season with
the largest transactions ever known in
a single week, it is said, but in most 9TH
er lines contracts previously booked
would make similar activity impossible.
Yet there is seen enough of hesitation
caused by advanced prices to make mac
tivity trying. Iron and steel prices have
been yielding for several weeks, and are
a shade lower for products than at any
other time since the middle of September.
Wheat has advanced to 1875 cents, with
no clear reason for such sharp advance.
Western receipts are small, in four weeks
only 10,9S4, 92S bushels, against 1890
297 last year, but the Atlantic exports
have been only 1877 ,474 bushels, flour in
Guided, against 1907 1888 last year. Pa
cifc exports amount to 1911, 236 bushels
for the same four weeks, against 2,175,-

of 26S to 90, thirty-six not voting. jus,
previous to this a vote had been taken
ON the resolution reported by the minor
ity of the special committee investigat-
ing the case, declaring that Roberts was
entitled to be sworn in, and that then he
should be expelled, and it had been de-
feated-S1 to PA. The difference in the
votes was due to the desire OF those who
changed to have Roberts disposed Of in
some way, and who felt that il they could
not get rid of him by the constitutional
method they would adopt what Judge DE

from the beginning of the Government
down to the present time the Senate has
never recognized the right Of State ex-
ecutive TO make a temporary appointment
where the vacancy happened or occurred
during a session of the Legislature. The
result is fatal to the claims of Mr.. Quay.
No danger nor evil has resulted to the
Government from the enforcement of this
principle. We, therefore, submit that the
Senate, for its own honor and dignity,
should stand by its previous solemn and
deliberate decisions, and recommend the
adoption of the following resolution: Re
solved, That the Hon. Matthew 5. Quay
is not entitled to take his seat in this
body as Senator from the State Of
Pennsylvania
The minority in their report quote ex-
tensively from Madison, Webster and
other eminent statesmen of the past to
sustain their position.
