FINE PICTURES
ON EXHIBITION
Some Treasures of Contem-
poraneous Art in the VIM.
Morris Collection. u

The William Morris collection of paint
ings is attracting the attention of the
art-loving people of Honolulu which it
so richly deserves. The great variety of
the exhibit is one of the commendable
ocean and valley, evening and morning,
and all of the. paintings by eminent men.
Take the scene In Devenshfre by Sher-
rim, a member of the. British Institute
of Artists; it is a beautiful eventide.
where the calm and cool tones of the
disappearing day are depicted in every
part OF the picture, the fieecy tone Of
hover over the immediate foreground
and the still pool that reflects the rosy
and departing light; the comfortable
well-thatched cottages, well drawn. and
suggesting prosperity and peace, gives
the beholder feeling of repose and Sc
curity. The technical quality, while slIo-
ordinate to the poetical feeling, is strong
and masterful, and classes this painters
work in the very front rank.
Another and interesting work Is by
Horton, noted autumnal painter. The
golden maple foliage of the Indian sum-
mer is shown, the quiet stiffness of the
season that makes New England land
scape one of the most attractive in the
world to people who have spent their
childhood under such conditions, and re-
mains with them through all their lives,
no matter where their lots may be cast.
1t calls back the memory of happy days
when the mind was young and plastic
and joys of youth were strong. The
quality of the picture is full OF power
and knowledge. There is no hesitation
on the part of the artist. He has por-
trayed the scene with rare skill and
sympathy and he has caused you to see
the subtle beauties not alone at the sur
face, but with true poetic insight he has
given the mystery and beauty of a gold
en- forest with the skill of a poet and
painter.
Another picture in the collection is a
very impressive Moonlight" by Fred
upp, the noted German painter. The
scene is in Holland, that picturesque
country of quiet and peaceful Landscape
Inc water of the pond reflects the light
OF the sky, the extreme distance is
vague and shadowy. The silhouette of
the windmill almost spectral in the misty
atmosphere of night, is one of the prom
lnent features Of the composition. The
summer or the partly obscured moon is
distributed throughout the entire picture
IN way that leaves nothing to be de-
sired IN this impressive work. IT is a
rare picture and would give value to any
collection any
one OF the most attractive paintings in
the collection is Mount Shasta, by Har-
ry Best, young and gifted artist who
- attracting the attention of discriminate
ing purchasers of pictures. This nicture
represents Mount Shasta under the p1ow
OF an evening sunset. The crest of this
stately mountain is covered with a glo-
rious orange and pink glow. The pur-
pie shadows are falling down the noun
tain side into the valley below, making
the trees farther down toward its base,

NAMES OF FLOWERS.

The peculiarities of flowers in color
form or smell have given birth to po-
etical fancies about them which are
more remarkable for .monotony of in
,vention than for beauty of feeling. AS
a general rule, flowers spring from
tears if they are white, from bushes
or from blood if they are red Lilies OF
the valley are in France the virgins
tears; anemones in Bion's idyl are the
tears of Venus for Adonis; and the
helenium, which, according to Pliny
was supposed to have sprung from the
tears of Helen, was probably a white
flower. If we may believe Catullus, the
rose is red from blushing for the wound
it inflicted on the foot of Venus as she
fastened to help Adonis. But if
Stephen Herrick is right, who of all our
old poets deal more fancifully with
flowers, roses were originally white, till.
after being worsted in a dispute as to
whether their whiteness excelled that
of Sappho's breast, they blushed and
first came red" This is very like
Ovid's account of the mulberry fruit
having been originally white till it
blushed forever after witnessing the
tragedy enacted beneath it of the sad
suicides of Pyramus and Thisbe. In
German folklore the heath owes its coll
or to the blood of the slain heather, APP
parently in recollection of Charlie
Imagne's method of converting the Sax
ons, the two words being connected in
the same way as are pagus and pagan
us; for, as in Latin the inhabitants of
the country villages far from the
Christian culture of the towns came to
be called pagans, so in German the
Inhabitants of the uncultivated fields
where the heath Cor heide) grew, came
to be known as heather Cor heiden.) y

VIEWS OF HENRY CLEWS.

Special to the Register.
NEW YORK, April 20.-The buoyant
movement continues, and there seems
to be no limit in sight to the extremes
to which speculative tendencies may
carry prices. The market has passed
beyond the control of cold, calculating
reason, and seems to be careerlng along
at an intoxicating gait which promises
to last until accident or sheer exhaus-
A.on brings the public to its senses.
Conditions are certainly favorable to a
period or excessive speculation, and this
fact must be admitted irrespective of
the opinions of ordinary prudence.
With prosperity general; with money
plentiful at reasonable rates; with the
speculative temper at high pitch, and
with larger aggregations of capital than
ever before known working with all the
irresistible power of a tremendous force,
1t is not surprising that values are maze
to soar upwards. Nothing is more con
tagious, once it is fairly developed, than
the fever of speculation; and, like
feverS OF other sorts, it must run its
course. AT the present time much of
the buying is based upon the belief
that the big capitalists and syndicates
are obliged to support the market, rath-
er than allow the various deals which
they have in contemplation to collapse.
Let n or two weak spots of import
ance developed; let one or two import
ant deals fall through, and the while
bull movement would be checked, and
the results o. a stiff reaction just now
would be disastrous. Fortunately no
weak spots of consequence are at pre-
sent to be detected. There are no signs
yet that speculation has been carried
to a dangerous excess, or that financial
resources have yet been weakened. If
speculation has surpassed the record, it
must be remembered that it is simply
keeping step with record breaking
times, al that in the large majority
or instances the advances in stocks have
been justified by their increased earn
ing powers and the abundance of
money.
There are now no symptoms of any
disturbance in the money market, funds
are likely to become still more abund-
mi owing to the return of currency
from the interior. But at the same
tim conditions will bear watching.
Secretary Gage shows a commendaDle
disposition to release treasury accumu-
lations as far as legitinately within his
power, and this tends to preserve con-
fidence. On the other hand if specula-
ton continues to broaden, we may ex-
pect some restraint on the part of the
bankszwhen danger signals become nee
essary. Some of the deals conducted
by the large syndicates will involve the
use OF A-eavy sums of money for a per-
aod, and the floating of the British loan,
as we'll as the possI~~4,y of gold ship
ments, indicates that the prevailing
conditions are adverse to the return of
excessive rates for money in the near
future.

Much Activity In the Town Yester-
day and Preparations Made for
Extreme High Water.
There was great activity in Benwood
yesterday as a result of the impending
flood and at noon business was prac-
tically at a %standstill. AS 40 feet of
water will place the town under several
inches of water, and as As feet was pre-
dicted, no time was lost in removing
household goods and merchandise to
places above the reach of the rampant
Ohio. Those that had second stories
early in the afternoon removed all their
goods from their first floors and base
ments to them, but those that were not
so fortunate were forced to seek quar-
tiers with their more fortunate neigh
bors Or find storage room in some OF
the several halls. At the Blue Ribbon
hall the household goods of seven fam
lilies were stored along with ten organs
and twenty-oHe pianos. At the City
Hall large quantities Of goods were al
so stored.
At midnight the water had not ap-
peared on the streets, but was visible
in the ewers on Marshall street, at
both Sixth andfFifth streets. and many
cellars on Main and Marshall streets
were flooded. By morning the streets
will be flooded and all street cars will
have to suspend traffic on the loop. in
Centre Benwood and at Bogg's un.
Last evening the water had backed
up around the Riverside Improvements
to a depth of several feet and all work
will have to be suspended until the
water recedes. It is probable that work
cannot be resumed this morning at the
Riverside mills. but IL it can, 1t, with
