AT THE PROVIDENCE ART CLUB

A Private voew" to open a charming
exhibition of paintings by Mr.. George A.
Hays occurred in the gallery Of the Prov
idence Art club last evening and will be
open TO the general public daily. includ-
ing Sundays, from 10 to s o'clock until
January 1s
The exhibition includes 5s oils repre-
senting Mr.. Hays recent work and the
paintings are admirably grouped together.
the variety OF subjects and tone OF the
whole collection being sufficient to meet
a wide range OF individual tastes
Mr. Hays has had several exhibitions
OF his work al the Art Club. In previous
seasons. and all OF them highly credita-
BILE from an artistic point OF view. In the
present exhibition. however. his work
shows a marked Improvement This i'm
provement is especially marked in the
landscapes into which he puts his cat
tie and sheep for which he Is justly
celebrated. Ills skies, as noted In many OF
his pictures, are also exceptionally beau
tiful and I'm several Instances were most
favorably commented upon by his broth
or artists.
Another striking characteristic of the
present exhibit is the soft and beautiful
atmospheric effects which Mr.. HAYS has
succeeded in putting into many of his
pictures.
This effect is especially noticeable in
one OF the most striking pictures in the
collection Neutaconkanut HILL" Here
one secs a group OF cows under a large
oak tree. on the hill top, and beyond the
long stretch OF country with faint
glimpse Of the bay I'm the distance.
Indeed distance, i'm this picture, Is ad-
mirably brought out by the artist and
his coloring is also remarkably fine.

Another beautiful painting the largest
In the collection, occupies the place or
honor. the centre of the east wall.
IL represents a Holsten COW standing
I'm all her dignity and beauty in the fore
ground while, near by, are several other
cows AZ rest.
The cows. especially the Holsteln. are
particularly life like while the charming
landscape surrounding them Is full of
the beauty OF rural life.
In direct contrast TO this painting Is
another, on the northeast panel of the
gallery. called Breaking Ground" The
feature OF this picture Is its low soft
tone and fine atmosphc~ic qualities.
\ number of oxen drawing plow are
seen In the twilight with the form OF the
ploughman dimly outlined in the back
ground The fresh turned earth is ad-
mraby depicted and the whole picture is
fun OF sentiment and charm.
Mrs. Hays sheep are quite as natural
as his cattle. a picture called "A Group
OF sheep" being one of his hest.
Afternoon" Is yet another picture
where the treatment OF the landscape is
especially fine This shows a group Of
four or five cows i'm the foreground. and
over all warm sunny sky the whole
pervaded with a beautiful glow Of mid
summer which the artist has most faith
fully represented
Looking Across the Valley" Is a
charming New Hampshire landscape not
able for the admirable qualities OF dis
tance which the artist has succeeded In
transferring 10 the canvas.
Aside from these there are many other
beautiful oils which appeal strongly to all
lovers of art especially TO those who
recognize and admire Mr.. Hays incom-
parable work I'm his own chosen field
that OF an animal artist.

FATHER JOHN RECANTS
Formerly 0utspoken Against Kish-
inef Christians He Now Says
the Jews Were to Blame.

st. Petersburg. June 16.-Father John
Of Cronstadt, whose fiery condemna ton
Of the Kishinef massacre was published
in the st. Petersburg liberal newspapers,
has published the following in the anti
Semitic Quamia, the new organ in st.
Petersburg:
''To my beloved Christian brethren in
Christ of Kishinef: From the newspaper
accounts succeeding the first published re-
ports concerning the iKshinef catastrophe,
I have concluded that the Jews themselves
were the cause Of the recent disorders,
that it was the Christians who suffered in
the end and that the Jews have been
doubly repaid for their losses and injuries
by their own brethren and others.
II know this from private letters also,
which I have received from people who
lived a long time in Kishinef who are well
acquainted with affairs there. and who are
most trustworthy. Therefore, I say to the
Kishinef Christians, to forgive the re-
proach on account Of the horrors that
were committed, which I cast upon you
alone
From letters of eye-witnesses I am con-
WINGED now that one cannot lay all the
blame upon the Christians, who were pro-
voked to the disorders by the Jews and
that the Jews were mainly responsible for
the catastrophe"
No Russian newspaper of any weight
except the Novoe Vremya, has attempted
to palliate the massacre or lay the blame
on the Jews.

THE G.LOAN WIND.UP1
Secured Creditors May Participate in
Final Distribution of the
Estate.
Orders Made To-day Mark the
End Of Months Of
Litigation.

i Secured creditors Of the Northwestern
Guaranty Loan company, insolvent, will
by order Of the judges Of the Fourth jul
dicial district, be allowed to participate
in the final distribution of the estate, es-
timated at about $125, 900, provided they
make satisfactory showing by July 49,,
as to the money received from collaterals.
The accounts for services rendered of
$4,000 due the Minneapolis Trust COM
pany, as receiver and of $4,000 due w. b.
Dodge, Rome G. Brown and Charles s..
Alberts, as attorneys for the receiver, are
allowed and ordered paid
Two orders Of this import were made by
the judges of the district bench this morn
ing. The ruling is considered a very i'm
portant one, as it allows $2,O00,000 worth
Of claims an opportunity to come in on the
final distribution of the trust funds.
The decision is upon an order issued on
Dec. II, 1902, directing secured creditors
from all over the country to show why
they should not be debarred from further
participation in the settlement on account
of their failure to obey previous orders of
court. The effect of the new order is to
relieve all these creditors from all former
orders except in so far as specified In
these orders. They are required to make
a satisfactory showing by July as to all
money received from collaterals and upon
failure to make said showing they will
at tnaC tlme De barred from partlclpatlon.
In addition, 1t Is ordered that the re-
ceiver file a schedule by September 5,
1908, giving a list of creditors and amount
of claims, this schedule to be basis for
the final distribution Provision is also
made for filing and hearing objections and
for fixing the basis Of distribution and
provision is further made for the final
distribution and the closing up Of the es-
tate, which, under this order, will take
place some time next October, after an
existence Of over eight years.
