ARTISTS?-.FRAME PEDDLERS.
GulIible Morristonlans Again Sue
comb to the Willy Stranger.


Morristown has had many unpleasant
experiences with strangers who manage
to work advertising schemes with the
business men and inveigle unsuspecting
residents into buying merchandise Or or
dering pictures alleged to be Free but in
each and every instance cloven foot
appears and many dollars are yearly
mulcted from trustful people who should
know better than to expect to get some
thing for nothing.
Recently the town has been canvassed
by parties, polite or insolent, as best
meets the exigencies of the occasion.
The cards of the alleged picture seekers
and Crane peddlers' bear the words
''Pan American Art Studio, so Fifth av-
enue, High Glass Art and Oil Paintings, I"
etc., etc. The office, if there is one,
may be at 90 Fifth avenue, New York or
New Orleans, as no other address is
given. The method of procedure is for
hood, the swell ones have been operated
house is asked for by the canvasser, who
has taken special pains to ''work up" the
vicinity He says that "Mrs So and So"
mentioning neighbor, "asked me to
call" His object is to get a picture of
either the lady or members of her
family, from which he agrees to return
beautiful picture or pictures reproduc-
ed on aluminium, for which no charge

inently shown in the home or studio %
for advei Using purposes. The willy
solicitor INDUCES in numerous flattering
remarks and as rule obtains picture
or pictures. After that is secured he
talks about enlarging them and furnish
ing frames at various prices from 81 so
upward finally bowling himself out with
the words 1.-The color artist will come at
a future occasion and see the subject of
the picture or pictures also arranging as
to frames" The experience of those
who have been interviewed by the "color
artist" or by the individual who ''rakes
in" orders for frames has been most UNI
pleasant. In some instances the
solicitors have been peremptorily
ordered from the house, to which
they should never have been
admitted. In other instances it
has been necessary to call in neighbors
because language and actions were such
that victims had been thrown into hys-
terics In numerous other ways those
who have given pictures for reproduc-
ton have been threatened with publ
city as to the same being unpleasantly
used unless the owners bought frames
at the 'peddlers" prices.
Many dollars have been gathered in
and the town has not all been covered
1t would seem after the public had been
hoodwinked so frequently that it would
learn to do business with reputable bus
mess men in Morristown or elsewhere.
Judging from the number of commun-
ications sent to the Chronicle concerning
this especial ''Art Co." we are lead to
think that this is case where common
sense should be observed in the first
place. We might add that the Chronicle
this morning refused a generous paid
advertisement for the "Pan-America an
Studio of High Glass Art and Oil
Paintings"

Maternity Society.

AS an experiment Maternity Society
was started three years ago to provide
a trained nurse for maternity cases.
For good reasons these cases could not
be taken to either of the hospitals, and
during during the three years of work a
number of women have been cared for
with excellent results in their own
homes.
There now seems demand that the
society should be more generally known
and the work increased. For this reason,
for the first time, those interested appear
before the public to say that all worthy
cases of maternity when there is in
ability to provide a good nurse can
secure one by applying to Mrs. Hughes,
The Rectory, or to Mrs. Thomas w.

REPUBLICAN, ROW.

a row is said to be brewing in re-
publican ranks, and all because of a
slight put upon certain prominent re-
publicans by the Inter Lake. Some
time ago that paper INDUCED in a
lengthy editorial probably intended to
be funny, but unfortunately not label
ed, in which the fear was expressed
that the presence at the same time OF
County Commissioners Greig and Grit

Buffalo might cause the eastern edge
of the continent to sink below sea

presence on the western edge OF the

publican solons and road law experts.

ROOSEVELT AND THE NEGRO.

No other incident of recent occur
renee has caused such widespread
newspaper comment as the action OF
President Roosevelt in entertaining
Booker T.. Washington, prominent
colored educator, at the White House
dinner table.
Some of the editors see in the
incident only a well merited rec
ignition of worth and ability, d
far greater number are inclined to
criticize, while few indulge in rabd
denunciation.
Henry Watterson of the Louisville
Courier-Journal terms it an effort
on the part of the president to
oyerturn social custome by rec.
ognizing the negro as social equal
and says in substance that had the
president desired to confer a mark
OF distinction upon Washington he
should have invited him to dine with
cabinet officers or other prominent

YESTERDAYS ELECTIONS.

The elections held in various states
and cities yesterday seem to have awak
"ncd only passing interest as nowhere
except in Greater New York was q heavy
vote polled.
Governors and state officers were
elected in Ohio, Massachusetts, Iowa,
New Jersey and Rhode Island, all of
which states elected republican govern
ors.
\ portion Of Tie state officers were
elected in Maryland, Mississippi, Penn
sylvania and Nebraska. The first two
going democratic while the latter two
remain in the republican column.
New York, Ohio, Maryland and Ken
lucky elected new legislatures, the las,
two named going democratic while New
York and Ohio remain with the rcpub
Leans.
The greatest interest was shown in
the New York City election because of
the bearing it will have upon the next
national campaign. 1t was contest
between Tammany on the one side and
the fusion forces on the other. The
fusion ticket was elected with Low for
mayor
The result in Maryland insures the
retirement of Wellington rep, from the
United States senate and again brings
German into national politics.
Altogether the results of the elect ions
IN the various states was about what was
to be expected.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

With this issue the Bee appears
under new management. Mr.. Walter
Aitken, under whose management the
Bee has reached its present high
position in the newspaper field re-

side.
Arrangements have been made
to greatly improve the news service
of the Bee and it hopes for a con-
tinuance Of the very liberal patron
age accorded it in the past. The Bee
realizes that it's own growth can only
keep pace with the development of the
field in which it circulates, and it
will seek it's own advancement by pro
noting the development of FlatheaI
county. In this purpose it hopes t.
have the cooperation of every citizen
and taxpayer in the county.
tLc bcc Will COutluuc Al
the democratic faith, in which it was
founded. Not in any mean or par
tisan spirit, but in the liberal spirit
Of democracy which recognizes
the worth of an opponent, and
which demands the same measure
Of fidelity from democratic as from 1e-
publican Office holders.
The Bee believes that the causes
which have heretofore divided the
democrats of E1ahead county, no long
er exist, and it hopes to see them
united in the next campaign. The
Bee may have friends to remember,
but will have no enemies to punish.

THE CAPTAIN WAS FOOLED.
Cannon Ball TunneIed Under Him
and He Thought His Leqs
Were Gone,

While in conversation with a
rather distinguished southerner who
had been a colonel in the confe der.
ate army during the war with the
south, he told me a number of anus
ing incidents which he had noticed
during those days of terror, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. One of the best Of these,
which he vouched for as true, and
which he thought had never been n
print, was that of a Captain Smith,
who, with his men, was among the
confederate forces fighting the blue
coats from the side of South mount
ain. When there was lull in the
firing from both sides a detail, ac-
companiei by physicians, went out to
pick up the wounded. Captain
Smith was found lying on the broad
of his back, and when asked what
was the matter with him, replied
that they must be fools not to see
that both legs had been shot of"
An examination revealed that the
captain was intact from head to
foot, and his only injury was a
slight shock to his constitution. Then
it was found that, while Smith was
directing the firing of his men, can
non ball struck the hill just below his
feet. and, plowng through, left a hol
low place just under where he was
standing. The weight of the captain
caused his feet and legs to fail into
the hole, and the shock from the
close proximity to the canon BAH had
thrown him on his back. And there
he lay. Win his feet and the lower
port of his legs partly buried, firmly
convinced that he had been crippled
for life.

his act merely as recognition
of merit but it was i'll Wise!
to say the least. First because
by increasing the prejudice and
friction between the two races in
the south; it will retard to that OK
tent the advancement of the colored
man in the arts of civilization and
second. because it will confirm many
of the pompous colored men in the
mistaken belief that their race has
reached the acme of development ana
that they are entitled to share equal
ly with the white race all social and
political honors and responsibilities,
thus further increasing friction and
retardng progress.

opportunity as well as in equality De-
fore the law must accord to the nc
gro the right to become great
in his own sphere, and will bid
him God speed in his efforts
to make that sphere equal or sur

So long as firearms shall exist,
painful accidents in the handling of
them will no doubt occur, and words Of
warning will be OF little avail. One OF
the most distressing acct
dents ever recorded in Kalispell was
that which took the life OF Baby
Jaqucth on last Saturday evening by
The accidental discharge of shotgun
in the hands of an older brother. Mr..
