order that they might catch their
train. They expect to return as soon
as they have secured the necessary

PAINTING EXHIBITS
AND DRAWING SHOW.
Many Specimens of the Fine Arts

many specimens OF the FINE Arts
shown I'm the Booths.
The booths which have been devoted
to the paintings and drawing exhibits
are we'll filled. Savannah artists have
their displays in place side by side
with exhibitors from a distance. In
these booths the lovers of art can find
much to entertain them and many
spent considerable time yesterday be-
fore the different paintings.
THE Newsboy" by Marie Silvera is
especially fine. The coloring is rich
ly exquisite and the expressions of
the little one is excellent. The pic
ture represents a ragged newsboy with
his bundle of papers under his arm
and contentedly munching an apple.
There is a twinkle of the proverbial
good nature in the eyes, and the mouth
seems just breaking into smile. The
expressions of delight over this ex-
hibit were many and likewise the merit
ed praise bestowed. A rose group by
the same artist attracted attention as
did also the pen and ink copy of Glib
sons "Rubicon." The latter was so
nearly like the original that 1t could
not be distinguished.
The paintings by Mrs. j NJ. Cheno-
with have been mentioned before and
yesterday the most attention given to
any picture of the Chenowith group
was to the nuns head. The miniatures
display accompanied by the magazine
cut from which they were made, were
highly praised. This entirely is the
work of Mrs. Thomas Edward Ryals
of Macon and shows unusual talent
They are grouped together in a glass
frame and make very pleasing and
artistic appearance.
One of the most unique entries in the
building is that of Mrs. S. NJ. Barton.
These are raised pictures on a velvet
background and are more than one
hundred years old. The entire collec-
ton is offered for sale by Mrs Bar
ton. The work of A. S. Bangs has
been mentioned before. One piece of
tapestry by that artist, representing a
Hover reclining on a large stone wall
Is especially worthy of mention. There
is another piece of the tapestry art
entered but no name is given and 1t
Is impossible to tell who is the ar
fist.
The paintings of Miss Annie Kuck
nave been mentioned heretofore, and
the center OF attraction in this group
yesterday was the head study from a
life model and also a hand study The
latter is painting that has made it's
appearance since Thursday night and
is worthy of the closest attention from
all visitors. The paintings represent

Occupants of n Carriage Had a Wild
Experience.

experience
A lady and two children with a
colored driver figured in a thrill
ling runaway in the southern section
of the city yesterday afternoon. Miss
de Jarnette and the children of Mr.
and Mrs. N. c. Harrison were going
out Drayton street. Near the north
ern end of the Park Extension one of
the reins broke and the horse, spirit
ed animal, started to run. The color
ed driver was unable either to stop
or guide him. Near Hall street the
horse made a quick turn. threw the
driver to the ground and dashed wildly
across the park.
Reaching Drayton street again I'M
checked the frightened animal made
his way to Anderson street, and across
Anderson to Bull. In turning the cor
ner of Anderson and Drayton the
vehicle was almost overturned. The
occupants chung to the seats and in
this manner retained their position,
and one of the children, hung to
the reins, jerking at them furiously
in the attempt to stop the horse.
At the corner of Bull and Anderson
streets the horse was stopped by

Witnesses Talked Back.

The first witness on the stand was
Bryan. who made quite as lengthy a
statement as he had made the day
before in the trial of Doss. He was
subjected to a most searching cross
examination. Bryan wanted to tell
the story his own way, while Judge
Twiggs insisted on direct answers. Of
ten Mr.. Osborne was called on to say
Answer the way he wants you to"
and Bryan would cheerfully reply.
"All right Colonel" but after a little
he would lapse again. Once he sug-
gested to Judge Twiggs that he had
the cart before the horse. Mr.. Doss,"
began Judge Twiggs once, address
ing the witness, when the quick reply
came You are addressing Mr. Bryan"

of the questions asked him by Judge
Twiggs. The examining attorney had
got the witness to tell with a wealth
of detail how Evans had stopped or
crouched behind the cigar case while
shooting at Bryan and finally in sum-
marizing the witness statement claim

MES. The ground Is laid out by the Krupps
and the buildings erected to be rented out
to the workmen. There are whole villages
Of them, some composed Of beautiful cot
tages with gardens and lawns, others OF
sanitary tenements, about parks not far
from the works and others of little houses
for those too old to work. There are alto
gether about $4,000 apartments, renting from
$22 to $50 a year. In addition there are
also more expensive buildings for the fore
men and officers Of the works, and alto
gether a collection Of the most wonderful
workingmen's homes of this continent.
The first colony ! visited was near the
works. It is composed Of three and four
story buildings, situated along wide streets
shaded by forest trees. The streets cross
one another at right angles, with a large
playground and park in the center, where
there is music by the Krupp band several
times a week.
The Eats are Of two, three and four
rooms. The first one / entered had a bed
room, kitchen, living room and parior. Its
tenant had hot and cold water and the
use Of a laundry in the basement. The rent
WAC 500 a year, or $3.50 a month. The man
who occupied Il received $50 a month.
In another. house. l visited a nat Of two
rooms, which rented for s26 q year, the
tenant getting only SO q week. The woman
who showed me the fiat was as clean as q
pin. and she took pride in her housekeep->
ing, which was as clean as herself. The
beds were neat. There were pictures on
the walls and curtains in the windows. and
everywhere the desire to make home beau
tiful, although the rent was, all told. not
more than 30 cents weekly. In the colony
there were $500 people. and was told that
the apartments were always rented.
The cottages are more comfortable than
the tenements. There are hundreds Of
them, each having its own garden about II.
Each has It own style OF architecture, not
unlike that Of some OF our best suburban
towns Of the United States. Some cottages
are single and some double. There are
seldom more than four families in any one
cottage. and as q rule not more than one
or two.
one Of the four-room cottages l saw
rented for IS a month. and a little better
one for Sc. Where two families occupy a
cottage there are two entrances and each
family has II own garden. The eottages
are covered with vines. Flowers bloom
about their doors. and they are really pleas
