Prather Miniature Exhibition.

There is very interesting exhibition of
the art Of the miniaturist this week in
Vickery, Atkins & Torreys art rooms, the
work Of local artist, Miss Laura Prather
of Oakland. Miss Prather has some nine
teen or twenty portraits on exhibition, all
clever and some of exceptional merit. Her
work has the delicacy and grace that
mark the best miniature methods; she
draws well and has the happy faculty of
seeing the best side of her subjects.
Among the portraits perhaps the prettiest
is that of Master Van Cleft Herrin smil-
ing baby boy. that is surely like the
model. Mrs. Harry East Miller's is a
charming portrait and with that of Mrs
Samuel Hubbard-a delightful face-and
the quaint old-world portrait of Mrs. c. E.
Webb. is perhaps Miss Prather's happiest
effort. Mrs. Thomas Prather has also
been deftly pictured by the artist and the
portraits Of Mrs. Phelan and Mrs. Irving
NJ. Scott when girl are also charming
The Ideal Head is also clever work
The other portraits, all interesting, are
those of Mrs. Edward Lukens, Edward
Lukens, Master VIII Herrin, Mrs W. S.
Prather, Mrs. Jane K. Sather. Miss Soue
Mrs. Walter Martin. Mrs. Reginald X
Smith, Miss Elizabeth Orrick and Miss

at the orphanage admits that she heard
them talking about running away.
Rose Cadogan is 16 years old, was at

He says that the war clouds are rapidly

terrible. He said:

Judge Fritz yesterday on a charge of at

F. de Curtoni, 1903 Clement street, of at
tempting to set fire to his barn Sunday,
but when the case was called, Curtoni
said he did not want to prosecute and adj
mitted he had grudge against Kruger.
De Curtoni was later induced by Attorney
Campbell, who represented him, to swear
to the complaint against Kruger.
Attorney w. G.. Burke, on learning that
the defendant was not represented by
counsel volunteered to appear for him.
He told the Judge that the defendant, who
was scarcely responsible for his actions,
who persistently threw rocks at him and
at his house. Sunday he went to the gro

it in burning up a quantity of rubbish
that he had gathered together. He set

barn.
Kruger has his mother, who is 81 years

able to move around by crawling on her
hands and knees. Burke asked the Judge
to make an order permitting Kruger to

mother why he was compelled to remain
away from home and the Judge signed
the order. Fire Marshal Towe is salts

MARITAL WOES
Divorce Closes Troubles
Of Real Estate Man
and Spouse.

e. Avery Mccarthy, the well-known real
estate man, was granted a divorce from
Lillian Wagner Mccarthy by Judge Heb
bard yesterday on the ground of deser-
ton.
The proceedings were very brief Mrs.
Mccarthy was not in court, but rep
resented by her attorney. Mccarthy was
the only person placed on the witness
stand, and his examination was very
short. He told how happily he and his
wife lived for several years after their
marriage, which occurred in April, 1892.
Then came the change, and his wife came
to him one day and told him she no long
er loved him. From that time on, McCar-
thy said, they lived apart, though under
the same roof. Mrs. Mccarthy assumed
control of one of the children, while he
looked after the other Such manner of
living was not happy one, and he finally
entered suit for divorce on the ground of
desertion. Before commencing the di-
vorce proceedings Mccarthy turned over
to his wife one-half of the community
property, thus preventing a row over
property rights. Judge Hebbard in grant
ing the divorce did not interfere with the
arrangement made concerning the chill
dren.

the art of making threats 10 end his eX-
istence. Mrs. Matteson is only 10 years
of age and has been married but two
years yet according to her complaint she
has had trouble enough to last her life
time. She alleges that her husband while
employed at the navy yard a Bremerton,
Wash. wrote 20 her and told her that he
was so tired of life that he felt death in
the waters of Puget Sound would be
relief He also on another occasion wrote
to her she alleges and told her that sui
eide was not cowardly. To end ones ex-
istence to benefit another was a sacrifice,
and Christ himself had set the example,
he declared. In his next letter suicide was
still in his mind, but a change had come
Ger the spirit of his dream, which no
longer pictured him as sthe victim. He
saw that it was his wife who was slated
ter he told her she was the one to make
the sacrifice.
A number of divorces were granted by
the Superior Judges yesterday. They
were:
