BURLEsoUEs SOLD AT AUCTION.
Close of the Exhibit of the Washing
ton Society of Fakirs.

The rooms of the Art Students League
were last night filled with distinguished
assemblaee OF brush and pencil workers.
Curiosity 10 see if their fads and failings
had been taken or by clever young stu
dents led nearly all Washington artists,
and certainly all who are now exhibiting
at the Hemicycle with the Society of
Washington Artists. to visit the show of
the Washington Society of Fakirs. 1t
was the last night and auction and a
desire to see the productions of the Art
League students, before they should be
taken from the walls and sosa, was re-
sponsible for the crush
The ''Fakirs'' succeeded in extracting
quite a sum from the pockets of the visi
tors About loo pictures We're on the walls,
varying in size from a thumb-nail sketch
10 a life-size fuil-length portrait, done in
all sorts of mediums. from orange peel
to shoe blacking, with all kinds of
brushes, from a shoe brush to feather
duster. The exhibit of artistic production
was varied and wonderful In its startling
brilliancy, and as soon as the auction was
started and the numerous beauties in the
pictures explained by Auctioneer Morse
the visitors fell into a mood Of apprecia-
tion and began to buy.
The atmosphere became more and more
congenal as the auctioneer elaborated
upon the articles put up for sale and the
bids began to run high. AS high as s.
was paid for single picture, though the
average price was 80 cents, excluding the
frame, which was usually bid on sepa-
rately.
The "Fakirs," true to their name had
other things to sell besides pictures and
a silhouette artist in one corner of the
room had all that her scissors could do.
while a lemonade bowl and palmist in
other corners Were both working over
time.
Those of the established artists who
came to chaff remained to buy, and 1t was
noticeable that those whose work had
been burlesqued usually finished by pur-
chasing the burlesque. some avowedly in
order to keep it from falling into rival
artists hands.
The auction was not concluded until
everything had been taken from the walls
and put mp for sole. Everything brought
some price, and as the result OF the pic-
ture sale alone the students will clear
but little less than 800. When all pro-
ceeds are counted in. the league will have
probably $3.50 To apply to the purchase of
new casts and other paraphernalia in the
studio.

CAR FARE FOR THE BLIND.
A Fund Raised to Provide Street
Hallway transportation.

Mrs Charles A. Maxwell was the hos
tess at an entertainment given for the
benefit of the blind at the Hotel STRAIT
ford last night. The exercises included
musical numbers entirely by blind talent
and an old-fashioned spelling bee Mrs.
Maxwell is we'll known to the frequenters
of the Library of Congress as one of the
readers who volunteer to entertain the
blind For some time she has been i'm
pressed by the fact that the attendance
could he made much larger at these read
ings if transportation to and from the
Library were furnished those among the
afflicted who cannot afford car fare. Mrs.
Maxwell devised the entertainment Civ en-
last night as a means of securing a fund
for this purpose and she pressed the blind
people into service to entertain their
guests Tickets for the affair were sold
and the holders of tickets in many cases
made extra contributions to the fund
which Is to be disbursed by Miss Giffen,
Of the Library of Congress.
There were about hundred present
when the first number on the programme
was announced Many guests arrived
later The various vocal and instru-
mental selections were well rendered, al
though in almost every instance the
musicians were totally blind. Clifford
Maxwell acted as schoolmaster in the
spelling bee. That portion of the outer-
tainment afforded great amusement.

appeared, armed with the weapon, but
there was a scurrying right and left as he
made IA dash, it is said, after several per-
sons. Policeman Brennerman was called
and arrested Mosby. The negro is charged
with carrying concealed weapons.
Mckenzie was at the Central Union
Mission lest night, about 10 o'clock. and

escaped the keen edge of the weapon.
and ran TO tell Policeman Walsh what

sion and arrested Mckenzie. and sent him
to the station in the patrol wagon.

more than half of all cases of poor
hearing were caused by catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose
and throat finds it's way into the
Eustachian tube and by clogging it up
very soon affects the hearing, and the
hardening OF the secretion makes the
loss of hearing permanent, unless the
catarrh which caused the trouble is
cured.
Those who are hard of hearing may
think this a little far fetched. but any
one at all observant must have no
ticed how hard cold in the head will
affect the hearing and that catarrh II
long neglected will certainly impair
the sense of hearing and ultimately
cause deafness.
If the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secre.
tions of catarrh, the hearing viii at
once greatly improve and anyone suf
fering from deafness and catarrh can
satisfy themselves on this point by
using fifty cent box of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, a new catarrh cure
which nj the past year has won the
approval of thousands of catarrh suf
fererS, as well as physicians, because
1 it is in convenient form to use, con.
tains no cocaine or opiate and is as
safe and pleasant for children as for
their elders.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is whole
some combination of Blood root, Qua
iacol. Eucalyptol and similar anta-
septics ana they cure catarrh and
catarrhal deafness by action upon the
blood and mucous membrane of the
nose an dthroat.
As one physician aptly expresses it;
you do not have to draw upon the
imagination to discover whether yor
are getting benefit from stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets improvement and re
nef are apparent from the first table
taken"
All druggists sell and recommend
them. They cost but fifty cents fo
full sized package and any catarri
sufferer who has wasted time ant
money on sprays, salves and powders
will appreciate to the full the meri
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
