Art Exhibit.

Miss Helen S. Patterson has ITO
of her decorative illustrations on
exhibition at the entrance to Athenaeum
Hall where she invites her friends and the
public to see them for the next week, and
all lovers of art should not fail to avail
themselves of this privilege. Aside from
designs for posters, book covers and dec
orations in general, she also has beauti.
full and dainty designs in belt buckles
and ornamentsin silver, copper, repoussa,
and carved and pressed leather, all of
which she designs and executes herself.
All OF the designs here exhibited have
been on exhibition in Boston, both at
the school exhibitions and the Arts and
Crafts. OF these about 80 were chosen
from these exhibitions to send to similar
ones at Portland, Oregon, and several
large western cities, where they have
been for the past year A friend of Miss
Patterson's at New Britain Conn, sends
us the following letter which we heartily
endorse:
Editor of the CALIFORNIAN:
Miss Helen Sinclair Patterson, of your
town, has many friends in Connecticut
who learn with pleasure that she will
show in St. Johnsbury some examples OF
her decorative work done during the last
two years. This exhibition will open at
the Athenaeum on Wednesday, Septem.
Der 10, and will continue for one week.
Miss Pattersons originality and yer.
satility have secured distinguished recog.
milton, and her work is already in de,
mand by appreclative publishers. ST.
Johnsbury may well follow with salts
faction the successful career, along arts
tic lines, of one of her daughters. Miss
Patterson will soon return to Boston tc
study in life classes, and in her choser
field of decorative design Those besr
qualified to judge in these matters fee
that her imaginative, creative abilit,
and careful attention to detail will sooi
secure for her high place among deco
rative artists. The whimsical character
istics of her figures show refinement O
feeling not always noticeable in decora
tive illustration. While her work ma
suggest Maxfeld Parrishs, it is in n,
sense initiative, but is the result of he
own originality and artistic tempera
ment.

A Suicide.

A Suicide.
Miss Julia A. Earle, aged As years,
deliberately stepped in front of the New
York bound express, on the Boston &
Maine road, just above North Thettord
station, Thursday, and was killed. The
track rounds sharp curve just above
this point, and the engineer could not
stop the train in time to prevent the
cowcatcher from striking the woman.
No cause for suicide can be thought of,
although at times she had talked little
despondently.

Increase Home Dividends.

How to increase home dividends,
should enlist the active interest, not
only of our business men, but of every
man, woman and child of our corcmu-
nifty. That they may be largely and
Immediately increased is to my mind,
beyond question. In undertaking to
point out the way, let me say in the
first place | have no copyrighted plan
to suggest, no new-fangled theory to
propose by which we may get some
thing for nothing. The age ofmiracles
has passed. Therefore, | speak not of
the dividends that are drawn annually
or semi-annually and that are limited
in amount to six, eight or ten per cent.
Neither do | refer to the dividends that
goes to the family that has one or more
of those Home Savings banks, which
starts bank account, and helps man
to hold his head up.
But speak of dividends that are in
finitely greater, incomparably better
than all these-dividends that may be
drawn monthly, weekly, daily, every
where and all the time-unlimited in
amount and unmeasured in value.
They are dividends of steady nerves,
good appetites, sound sleep; dividends
of good digestion, healthy bodies, long
lives; dividends of clear consciences,
good natures, congenial fellowship, So
cial pleasures, domestic joys. These
dividends are within the reach of every
man and if he is not drawing them it
is his own fault; if he is not enjoying
them he is not half way living up to
his privileges and opportunities, not
fulfilling his mission in life and is
trampling a most solemn duty under
his feet. How wise and how happy is
the man who takes q broad view of
life; who pauses in the journey to
gather some of the flowers and pluck
some of its fruits; who finds cooling
shades, refreshing springs, congenial
companions and pleasures innumerable
all the way. 1t will bring more amia-
bility into his life, more sunshine into
his home, and more happiness into his
heart as the days go by-dividends
unalloyed i'll good measure, pressed
down, and shaken together and run
ming over.--EXchange.

patronage is accorded the project:
/ Ariel Ladies Sextette.
2 John r. Clarke, Lecturer.
3 Elias Day, Chicago, Characterist.
Slayton Jubilee Singers g people,
5 Chas. F. UnderhiIl, Dramatic
Reader.
The above comprise some of the best
talent in the lyceum business to-day

expense upon the committee having
the matter in hand. The ladies of the
Interest Paying Society of the First NJ.
E. Church, will make the canvass for
the sale Of course tickets and upon the
encouragement they receive will de-
pend the success of the undertaking.
The price of the course tickets is placed
at 81 so for the five entertainments with
no extra charge for reserve seats.
The entertainments will be held in
the court house, the use of its hand
some auditorium having been secured

to subscribe for the number of tickets
they will take and the money need not
be paid over before the delivery of the
tickets about two weeks before the first
attraction which will likely be in No
vember. Attractions will then follow
one each month. Let the matter re-
ceive the consideration it merits and
let the ladies have your practical co.
operation.

New Rule in Bankruptcy.

Judge Burlington in the United States
district court at Pittsburg decided yes
terday that a person who permits judg-
ment to be entered and issued upon,
without taking any steps to have them
vacated or discharged, commits an act
of bankruptcy and an involuntary pc
tition against him can be maintained.
This is a new and important rule in
bankruptcy matters. The opinion was
rendered in the bankruptcy case Of
Mrs. Rose Thomas, of Mercer county.
While the question was never squarely
raised before, the general rule followed
has been that the insolvent must in
some manner procure or aid in pro-
curing the judgment against himselfto
be rated as a bankrupt. In this case
Mrs. Thomas simply allowed the judg-
ments to be taken and did not try to
have them vacated or stay executions.
The court reverses the commissioner
who reported that the petition in
bankruptcy should be dismissed, and
orders an adjudication.

EMPORIUM, PA. THURSDAY, AUGUST 2. 1900.

prepared daily, a list of which you will
find inclosed.
Explanations in the primary depart
ment by Mrs. Barnes and Miss Baldwin,
both successful teachers in large graded
schools. The Junior work by Mrs.
Kennedy, dear old lady whose very
presence inspired the soul to better
work. Unfortunately this was at the
same hour as the primary work, making
it impossible to attend. She advocates
the daily use of the Bible for EVERY
pupil, regular church attendance, prin-
ciples of illustration, word painting,
object lessons, Bible story telling, one
illustration, "The Lost Sheep" in
pathetic, sweet and simple manner she
related this wonderful and precious
story, making it plain and easy for the
infantile mind to grasp.
Benevolence. A systematic form Of
giving was decided by all as the only
means to obtain successful results, as
we have already found this necessary
in our church work. DIR. Pearson
the music instructor outlined his work
in pleasing and interesting manner.
The cause OF criticism is because we
fail to understand the motive of song.
Music is the expression of the soul, and
without it the world or universe would
be devoid of its most sublime art. A
pleasure to the young and old. The
songs with their rich melodies and
words that voice the sentiment of our
better natures, we seemed to be drawn
closer to the one purpose OF united love
for work.
The "Sketch Work" by Miss Darnell
was pleasing to those interested in art
drawing and illustrating Bible pictures
making the lesson simple and easily
holding the attention of the younger
ones. 1t seems impossible for us to
make report that would impart the
knowledge that we have received.
Many things during the entire week
we cannot even touch upon. Every
thing led to the one main thought:
More enthusiasm and unity of teachers
and pupils. The instructors were the
best, having devoted years to their
work. They seemed to be permeated
with love for furthering the progress
in this noble work. We should all
strive to improve in the coming year.
