A Fine Exhibition.

Owosso citizens have been indebted
to Mrs l.. E. Gould this week for an
unusual treat in the form of an exhibit
ton of very fine collection of photo
graphic prints of many of the most
famous paintings. The collection com
prises the pictures which were dis
played at the recent meeting of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs at
Lansing where it was in charge of Mrs.
Gould, the chairman of the art COM
mittee. A part of the pictures now be.
long to the Federation and will be sent
about the state to the different contrib
uting clubs in turn. Besides the pic
lures owned by the Federation the Elson
company of Boston, of whom the most
of the pictures were purchased, yer y
kindly consented to the exhibition OF
the others which they had sent out and
these were also shown. In addition to
these pictures were those of Mrs.
Gould's own collection and with the
rest Mr.. Gould's collection of photo
graphs from Boston, Concord, and
vicinity. The pictures were arranged
in the different rooms of Mr.. and Mrs
Gould's home and in the rooms of o ak.
side school. A large number of people
enjoyed looking at them both Wednes
day and again yesterday, and to say
that Mrs. Gould has the thanks of all o
these is telling but q small part of TIT
truth in the case.

General Howard at the Congregational
Church Last Sunday


Those who attended the Congrega.
tional church last Sunday both in the
morning and in the evening enjoyed a
treat which was quite unexpected, on
the part of many of the attendants at
least, for General 90. Howard occupied
the pulpit both times.
The General is one of the m ost earnest
and at the same time kindly of speakers
so that even with the constant re-
minder of the armless sleeve hanging
at his side it seems hard to realize that
one is listening to one of the hardest
fighters which the union armies had,
and to a man who grew old in the SER
vice, until today, although he is on the
retired list of the army, he is still one of
the most noted characters connected
with it. General Towards interests
are as broad as the country itself.
Since the close of the war he has held
many important posts under the
government and for the last few years
since going on the retired list, he has
been especially prominent in philan-
thropic work. He is president of the
Home Missionary Society of the Con.
gregatlonal church in this country,
society which has seventy institutions
of learning for colored people under its
care.
In the morning address Sunday, the
General spoke from the words, go ye
into all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature. He pleade that
the christians should think of the people
of the whole world who do not know
what the sound of the gospel is, that
gospel which to him means good news
of salvation. In the evening he spoke
on the subject of THE Power of Small
Things" Quackenbush Post attended
the morning service in body and after
the service, were drawn up in line on
the sidewalk outside of the church while
the General passed down the line and
shook hands with each one. Both ser.
vices were greatly enjoyed and there
are not a few people who are glad that
General Howard decided to spend
Sunday in this city.

COAL CHEAPER THAN GAS
REPORT MADE TO SCHOOL BOARD BY
THE BUSINESS DIRECTOR.
No Action Taken by the Board i'm the
Matter-The Observance of
Memorial Day.

The most important matter that came up
before the School Board last night was the
report of Business Director Cleland on the
question of heating the school buildings.
Mr.. Cleland, after q careful investigation,
has reached the conclusion that saving
from $1,000 to $4,000 a year can be made by
the use of coal instead of gas. Mr. Clelapd
finds that 1t costs on an average Of $3155 to
heat a room with gas during the school
year. He estimates that 1t will cost $21.50
to heat the same room with coal and to
use both coal and gas. which frequently has
to be done to keep the rooms comfortable,
1t costs on an average of $685. room. Mr..
Cleland finds that in the last year it has
been necessary to spend about $500 In the
purchase of coal to keep the schoolrooms
comfortable The board took no action on
the report.
The question of having the school chill
dren attend Memorial day exercises at the
monument was discussed by the board and
a resolution adopted. In accordance with
the resolution the teachers and children
will be invited to march to the monument
on the morning Of Memorial day. The at
tendance of teachers will be voluntary. but
where teacher decides to accept the in
vitation the children of her school must
accompany her, unless request to be ex-
cused comes from parents. The attendance
or the exercises at the monument will fol-
lew appropriate exercises In the schools
All schools failing TO be present at the
monument must hold regular exercises un-
til 1f:45 a. m.
The business manager Of an afternoon
newspaper addressed the board and secured
este ffafr
I'm the schools. That is, the teachers will
be allowed TO explain the scheme to the
pupils If they desire.
The board concurred in the recommended
ton of Superintendent Goss that half-holi-
day sessions be held in the schools begin
ming May Is, and that they continue until
the close Of the schools. Miss Emma Leak
ey was appointed teacher in the district
school.

TALK TO ART DIRECTORS
MIR. III. C. IVES, OF ST. LOUIS, DOESN'T
FAVOR DONATION LOCATION.
While He Made No RecOmmendatiOn
He Favored Suburban Location
for Art Museum.

H c. Ives, director of the Fine Arts
Museum of ST. Louis, who was the guest
of Hugh II. Hanna. president of the In
dianapolis Art Association, yesterday, adj
dressed the directors of the association
yesterday afternoon. Prior to his talk to
the directors Mr.. Ives visited the different
sites talked of for the Heron Art Museum.
He was well pleased with all of them but
told the directors he could make no special
recommendation. He said the association
must make its own choice.
In his talk Mr.. Ives took pains to impress
on the directors the Importance OF selecting
a site where there Is plenty of room. He
does not think it necessary to have an art
museum "down town" unless the associa-
ton can find grounds that are large
enough. 1t would be better. he said. to
erect the museum In the suburbs than to
build 1t in the central part of the city and
then in years afterward, when 1t is desired
to enlarge the museum, find there is not
sufficient ground. Mr.. Ives said to the d.
rectors that If they could locate the mu-
scum in one of the city parks 1t would per-
haps be the best thing to do. He said the
men and women who work in the stores
and factories are becoming the most en-
thuSiastic patrons of art muSemS, but they
can only visit these places on Sundays or
on holidays. When they do have the op-
portunity of visiting the museum the mat
ter Of car ride of a mile or two is moth
ing to them, and, in fact, lends pleasure
to the trip. They will really get more en-
joyment out of a visit to the museum IL 1t
is situated some distance from the business
part of the city. While here Mr.. Ives WIS.,
tied Riverside Park.

ed until the business of the road will justi-
fy reinstatement. A majority of these men
have been given employment in the freight
houses and in the shops. and they will
not suffer much in a pecuniary sense from
the falling off of traffic.
The popularity OF the service of the din
Ing cars on the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton and the Monon lines shows that
the travelling public is willing to pay
reasonable sum for such service. A record
kept for ono month of the sales OF meals
In the dining cars on the Nickel-plate road
shows interesting results. This company
provides individual Grub meals, distributing
neatly printed booklets to passengers,
showing the meals, prices, etc., so as to
avoid confusion and to make it as simple
as possible for person to order. The
prices of meals run from 80 cents to 81, and
the record for the past month shows that
Quoting few cents for cigars and extras,
the average price per meal was Go cents.
The orders were mostly for 80 and 75-cent
meals, thus showing that the average pas
senger is willing to pay 60 cents. Dining
car managers claim that there is actually
no money in meals sold below 81, but as
the people demand cheaper rates they are
obliged to offer individual meals at lower
prices.
David Creese, inventor and patentee of
the Creese railroad track mover, Is in the
city for few days interesting local rail-
road men in his device, which is attracting
much attention. Mr.. Creese was born in
Jeffersonville and for years has been in the
employ of the Pennsylvania road as car
penter. In several tests the invention has
proven all that Is claimed for it. On the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne e. Chicago a sec
ton of track 1000 feet long was moved side
wise twelve inches without taking out the
ballast in less than five minutes; in an
other case a section of track fully as long
moved three feet at movement,
doing a work that 1t would take a dozen
section men several hours to perform. Mr..
Creese states that this track mover will do
in thirty minutes work which, IL done with
iron bars in the usual way, would require
one hundred men ten hours. A recent
number of the Railroad Gazette gave n
complete description of the device, giving
IL high praise. Eastern papers also speak
OF the invention as being great success,
and ii has met the approval of the heads
of the engineering department of the Penn
sylvania road. where it has been thorough
ly tested.

strongly for a good thing. being backed
from 15 to / to to l. She only failed to
deliver the goods by being almost left at
the post, for she showed she was the best
one in the race by coming all around her
field and running third. The good thing In
the last race was Maydine, a shifty little
three-year-old FLY belonging to President
