AN ART DISPLAY.
A Special Art Sale and Exhibition
by A. L. GourIey-.-BeautifuI
and Artistic Subjects,

A. L. Gourley has made an art dis
play in his store which has rarely ever
been equalled in this city. The front
window and . considerable space back
OF it has boon partitionsd o6 for the pur-
pose Of making this display and it is in
every way artistic and contains some OF
handsomest art pictures ever shown
here.
The space is handsomely curtained Oh
from the rest Of the store and ON the
floor are beautiful rugs and along the
wall tapestries. ...-I..-.. ..y
The pictures include studies In genu-
inc platinums. hand painted photos. ar
tistic water colors, msdalions and plat
inettes. 1t is said by Mr.. Gourley that
the subjects presented in the pictures
and the framing are entirely new and
strictly up to date. 4.
To the average observer the display
certainly presents an ensemble which ID
delightful to the eye and appeals to ev-
cry particle OF the artistic contained in
ones nature 1t would be impossible to
60 into detail in describing the pictures
presented. as they are of every concsiv.
able subject. Some OF them are very
appealing especially those which repre-
sent two little girls dressed in colonial
costume. These are hand painted pho
tos and about as pretty ~ ono could
imagine and study OF like character to be.
The public is given q most cordial in
vitation by Mr.. Gourlsy to visit his
store. whether desiring to purchase or

Lionel Decle, who has lately re-
turned to England after a thorough
study Of Central Africa, predicts that
within a few years the former dark
continent will become an important
factor in the economic affairs OF the
world. There are great natural re-
sources and abundant cheap labor, and
the railroad and telegraph are rapidly
opening them to Industrial and com
mercial exploitation. 1t is indeed evi.
dent that there must be business in
sight to justify such extensive rail-
road building. Transportation con-
fined to elephants tusks and lion
