The report is current in Chicago so
ciety that Mrs. George NJ. Pullman,
widow Of the palace car magnate, is
soon to be married to Gerard Barry.
New York artist. For some time the
engagement of Mrs. Pullman and Mr.
Barry has been an open secret, and the
recent visit of Mr.. Barry to Chicago,
for the purpose of giving suggestions
concerning the renovation of the Pral-
RE avenue mansion, has started d
story that the wedding will take place
before the end of the winter.
There is a pretty little romance con-
nected with the acquaintance of Mr..
Barry with the Pullman family. About
ten years ago Marshall Field employed
the artist, who was then not 30 years
old, to paint the portrait of his daugh-
ter Ethel Tree. The portrait showed
such fine perception and such admir-
able technique that 1t won the ad-
miratiOn of Mr.. Pullman, who gave
the artist a number of sittings. The
portrait of Mr.. Pullman proved rather
a difficult task, and as the painter re-
allied that it would do much toward
making his reputation, he spent a great
deal of time upon it.
In the weeks that he was at work
putting the features on canvas Mr.
Barry gained the friendship of the en-
tire Pullman family. and since that
time has been a frequent visitor at FL
boron. y. J., and the Thousand Is
lands. where the Pullman summer
homes are situated.
When the portrait of Mr.. Pullman
was finished it proved so satisfactory
that it went far toward making the for
tune of the man who by his talents had
Won recognition early in his career.
/ The last ten years have been notable
for many successful works, and his ca
I TeeT has been closely watched by those
who were his Chicago patrons.
Early last summer Mr. Barry was
| commissioned to paint d portrait OF
1 2I~s. Pullman. The artist went to the
! sumner home at ElberOn, n. J.. imme-
/ G.ately after the return of Mrs Pull
man and her mother. Mrs. Sanger. from
/ their European tour. The daily sit
! tings. which extended over two months
/ are said to have developed the old-timf
1 friendship between Mrs. Pullman and
/ Mr.. Barry into the most sincere affec-
/ ton.
The portrait progressed so SLOWLY
/ that II was autumn before the las
/ touches were put upon it. Time and
again the face was erased and mann

painter was satisfied with his work

Boise, Ida, Jan. S.-State Auditor
Sinclair in his biennial report gives the
Indebtedness on account of the Couer
d'Alene riots at $50. $40, and suggests
that ShoshOne county, where the trOu-
bic occurred. be required by the legis-
islatuTe to pay portion of it. He Sug-
gests a state tax of per cent on the
premiums of insurance companies in
lieu of fixed license. which the legis-
iature will probably adopt.
The report also recommends tax on
the net output of all mines. This is
one of the very important matters the
legislature will have to take up, the
supreme court having decided that
mines could be taxed, but not laying
down any rule on which to base the
taxation.
It Is strongly urged that the legisla-
tuTe take steps to compel delinquent
counties to pay the amounts they owe
the state, the sum reaching more than
1850, 600.
