PICTURE DEALERS MEMOIRS.
Gambart Spends Last Years in Writing
His Life,

Mr.. Ernest Gambart, who died last
Monday at Les Palmiers, Nice, was en-
gagged during the closing years of his
life in the preparation of his memoirs,
and for this purpose he had been in
communication quite recently with
some of his old friends in the artistic
world of London. His memoirs. if they
are over published, will describe IA sim
gular career. Gambart's nationality
was never exactly defined, but his Eng
lish was fluent even at the beginning of
his career as a picture dealer. He is
said to have begun commercial life in
London as seller of artificial flowers
somewhere in Wardour Street, passing
from that to dealing in cheap prints,
and finally in pictures.
AS picture dealer, with connections
both in London and in Paris, he amassed
great wealth, which enabled him when
he retired many years ago to build a
marble palace at Les Palmiers, in ,he
specious rooms of which his large col
lection of modern pictures was dis
played. Many of these he lent last year
to the Spanish exhibition at the Guild
hall. Gambart's relations with the ar
lists whose pictures he bought seem al
ways to have been of the friendliest for
he was one of the most hospitable of
men. Mr. G. A. Storey, a. R. A., in his
book, Sketches from Mem
ory." gives glimpse of Cambart from
the social side when describing his pro
iect for grand fancy dress bali. at
which the guests were to lie the chief
artists of England and the continent
The invitations were issued and a
vast ballroom was erected at GamDart's
house in Avenue Road, when a terrible
gas explosion occurred, resulting in loss
of life, the destruction of the ballroom
and the partial wrecking of the house.
Many of the pictures in the rooms were
destroyed and Gambart found next
among the debris scorchcd
canvas without frame, and "rolled UP
like a thin biscuit" It was an Alma |
Tadema. and It's condition seemed hope
less. Yet 1t was sent to the picture re-
storer and it came back looking even |
BETTE than before, "the tone was i'm |
proved" OF course. the artists ball |
had to be postponed, but it was held two |
months later, nth brilliant success. at
Willis rooms
During the last years of lis life Mr..
iaElbart acted as Spanish consul at
Nice, and the Royal Victci AN Order was
conferred Oh him. He possessed many

oUEEREsT OF PETS.
The Sea Anemone Well Deserving Of
the Designation.

The queerest pets in the world, says
Answers" are kept in beautiful row
of clear, flashing. round glass tanks on
an upper floor of "a large aquarium. As
you approach the tanks you behold
glowing little groups of color and artis-
tic blending and mingling OF fantastic
weeds and shining stones. Then, when
you peer into the tanks, you see what
at first seem to you just like particu-
larly handsome and gorgeous flowers
growing all over little rockeries. Some
of the flowers look like dainty pink -and-
white and yellow-an purple and Grim
son dahlias. Others look almost like
daisies with lace-like petals. Others
look like little star-fowers, all pure
white and perfect. These flowers are of
all sizes, from tiny ones barely large
enough to see to great ones almost large
enough to fill saucer.
But If you will watch these flowers"
for few minutes you will Jump sud-
denly, for all at once you will see one
move it's petals. Then you will see an
other and another do it. Slowly the
petals unfold or contract, with little
Jerking movements, sometimes twining
in the water like snakes.
Tap smartly ON the table On which the
tanks stand. and like lightning all the
petals will have disappeared. These sea-
flowers are really not flowers at all.
They are living creatures, known as
sea anemones
For many years Prof. Spencer has
tended and fed them, and the little ami
tad Anuy
know him. When he feeds them he
puts little bit of FISH on the end OF
1 long-pointed stick, and puts it care
'ully down into the water until 1t is
near the anemone. 1t did not take long
or the beautiful things to understand
I, and whereas at fyst they used to
their petals and shut up
lightly when the stick approached, now |
hey twine gracefully and stretch their |
ainty arms out as far as they can go
n order to reach it.

Joseph Sieben is secretary of the Mu-

Mr.. Thiel doesn't take a back seat
himself when it comes to bicycles.
Thursday he was wheeling through Lin
coin Park when he met a boy, likewise
on bicycle. The meeting was sudden
and unexpected, and the boy got he
worst of It.
At this 1uncture Secretary sieben came
gliding along on his wheel He says he
saw Mr.. Thiel in the act Of riding
away. while the boy lay injured on the
ground.
Hey. there!" called Mr.. Sieben.
AS Mr.. Thiel did not stop, Mr. Sieben
gave chase and caught the detective.
You were on the wrong side of the
road" said Mr.. Sieben.
What business is it of yours?" ip-
quired Mr.. Thiel.
You're lobster,' returned Mr.. Sic
ben.
The insurance man insisted on taking
the detective to the Larrabee Street
police station, in which enterprise he
was finally assisted by policeman
Lieut. Max Heidelmeier attempted a
diplomatic adjustment of the difficulty.
but failed. Even Max had to admit that
to be called lobster was indeed an
awful thing. But in the meantime the
injured boy escaped.
Friday morning Detective Thiel awoke
with lobster taste in his mouth He
smelled lobster. He couldn't see any,
thing but Holsters all around him. When
he went to breakfast he said to the
hired girl, 81 suppose you serve lobster
here. too?''
Yes. SIR said the girl meekly, what |
will you have?''
This was too much. He hurried over
to his attorney in the Women's Tenn
pie. First he swore out a warrant
charging Mr.. Sieben with having called
him lobster. Then he told the LAWYER
to begin the damage suit.
Mr.. Sieben was arrested and taken
before Justice Hail. He says that while
in court Detective Thiel made swine

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.--:n view
of the rumors as to Secretary Shaw's
plans for relieving the money market
In the event Of possib.s stringrncy,

ing statement:
The secretary recentlv invited some
of the larger national banks in the
principal cities to order alditinral
amounts OF circulating notes to be
printed. The national ranks are en-
titled to issue circulation TO the full
amount of their capital The aggre-
gate capital Of the aIonai banks Is
500. 700, but the banks have outstand-
ing only s25S.0OO.OOO Of the clrcula-
tion.
1t Is not his intention that they
should issue this additional circula-
ton at all now, but only in case Of
actual necessity and emergency With
this in view those banks which have
made arrangements to deposit United

additional circulation have sent in
their orders and the secretary has all
the branches Of the treasury service
busily engaged in expediting the prep
aration OF the notes pending the pos

PITTSTON. Pa, Aug. 2S,-The
chances for an early resumption of the
mines in the anthracite coal fields on
the same scale as they were operated
previous to the strike of the mine
workers, are not good, according to the
outlook; here. Several eollieries have
been started, but not one is working
at anything like its capacity. AT each
of these mines il is admitted by the
companies. only about 100 men are at
work, but the claim is made that they
are getting more every day. The nor
NAL tonnage of these mines during
regular working time is 1000 tons per
day, while at present they are turning
out less than 800 tons,
While an average of 5000 tons OF
mined coal is being prepared in the
district. the average for 1900. when
but 176 days were worked the year was
2S.SSS tons per day.

SITUATION GROWS SERIOUS
Strikers Attack Troops Who Pro-

Rocks-Aid for the
WOrkmen.

TAMAQUA. Pa. Aug. 2S.--The first
clash between the striking miners and
the troops occurred this morning, and
as result five prisoners are in the
guard house and Captain J. Beaver
Gearhart, OF Company g, Twelf:h regi-
ment, Is suffering from ftone wound
on the shoulder.
This morning report gained cur
rency that the striking miners were
gathering in force 10 make march
on the No. colllery, where the Le-
high Coal & Navigation Company is
mining and cleaning coal. The col
liery is at the west end of The Pam
ther Creek Valley. Companies r and
X, Of the Twelfth regiment, were
placed on trolley cars and run through
the valley. At Summit Hill the cars
were surrounded by strikers, who hurl-
ed rocks at the soldiers and called
them hard names. While Jimmy Mar
teen, an Italian. was in the act of
hurting stone at a car, several SOL
diers jumped off and attempted to
capture him. Marteen offered resist
ance, and the soldiers we're compelled
to fix their bayonets. In the melee
Marteen was wounded slightly in the
left Side.
The troopers started back to camp,
and as the cars rounded a curve Just
outside of Summit Hill, at a point
where the tracks take an abrupt dip,
the motorman on the first car made
the discovery that the rails had been
creased. The cars were stopped and
soldiers were sent ahead to place sand
upon the rails. When this had been
done it was possible, by moving the
cars slowly, to reach Lansford in safe
ty. A mob had been gathered there,
and for a time it looked like riot.
As the first car was passing through
the mob, Captain Gearhart was struck
on the right shoulder by a stone. Sew
eral soldiers jumped from the car in
pursuit of the stone thrower After
an exciting scutfle they captured JOS
eph Mccain. a young miner.
They proceeded again. but had not
gone far when another crowd was
encountered and the soldiers were
again taunted and stoned. Half a
dozen soldiers jumped off and captur-
ed three men. who 1t is said were
urging the crowd to attack the troops.
The men game their names as John
King Timothy King and John Kelly
They were taken to camp at Manila
Park. where, together with McCann
and Marteen, they were placed un-
der heavy guard.
