Paintines By the Yard

Is the American spirit OF CONNER

market for artistic wares? poets
recent advertisement In the London
Daily News, seeking a speculative pub
Usher for a translucent, attractive
anc apothegmatic lyric" has already
aroused some comment, and now they
appear to be selling the, paintings OF
the leading contemporary artists by
the square inch. The announcement
OF sale at Christie's says paint
ing by the late T. S. Cooper. entitled
"Sheep Shearing." and measuring 4Sx72
inches, was sold for 80 guineas, while
another. representing six Cows on the
Bank Of a River" and measuring 29xA
inches, painted In 1877, brought 300
Ruineas. This Is interesting. 1t seems
to indicate that good painting is worth
something between 30 cents and 1.25
per square inch in London; while. es-
timated as live stock. the six cows In
the latter picture appear to have been
valued at 50 guineas each, despite
their advanced age, which precludes
the possibility of their being useful for
other purposes than landscape orna-
ments-although this il perhaps min
linking the value of the riparian rights
along the river. What a wealth of con-
lecture these facts suggest! Think OF
the prices that some Of the enormous
Nunkacsy canvases would bring II
sold on this basis. and of the possible
value of Rosa Bonheur's The Horse
Fair"-with stations at Tattersall
brices! Let the artist remember to
stretch his canvas wide enough. or, II
he be an animal painter, to put in

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Eugene M. Thompson Passes Away in
This City.

1t is with deep regret that we record
the death of Eugene NJ Thompson,
a well known and popular resident of
Garden City He died in this city
Monday forenoonat 10 80 O clock. The
immediate cause of his death was
heart failure, brought on by a light
attack of pneumonia, which he had
been suffering with for few days
past. He had not been regarded as
especially sick, and his physicians had
not felt uneasy about him. He ale a
good breakfast that morning and
about 9 100 o clock expressed a wish to
sit up while in the rocking chair
and have lis bed made and aired.
This was granted. When he first got
up he expressed himself as feeling
much better, but he soon became faint
and complained of the room looking
dark. He was at once put back to bed,
but by this time he was pulseless, and
his heart grew weaker and weaker
till he expired. He passed away like
one going into sweet sleep. He
leave wife, two grown up daugh-
ters, a sister and two brothers His
death will be deeply regretted by his
many friends.

sermon, a stranger who was seated
we'll in front stood up and advanced to
the front of the church and then turn
ed around and faced the audience.
Spreading out his arms, he declared
that he was Jesus Christ. Then he
repeated a verse of poetry. and sat
down.
At the conclusion of the services.
Rev. Cowgill sought the stranger and
asked his name, but the mans only
reply was that he was Jesus Christ.
At the Christian church in the eve
ming children's exercises were held.
The stranger entered and on being,
asked his name replied that he was
the "Prince of Peace" He took seat
and remained quiet for a time, but
at the conclusion of one of the num-
bers on the program he arose and
walked to the front of the church and
faced the audience Holding up one
arm toward the ceiling he repeated
several verses of Scripture as rapidly
as he could speak, and in loud
voice. He then resumed his seat and
remained quiet.
