picturesque glimpse OF the way in which art

time is given in the following passage:
During the epoch in which K6rin lived certain
who supplied fabrics OF all kinds for the use or the
daimyo and their families often met together IN
social gatherings at which, in addition TO the pleas

more practical topics. K6rin was often invited TO
attend these meetings. and he was accustomed 70

On some occasions the wives and daughters

gown should be entirely different from all the
others. In their pride of making OstentatiOus dis

their innate character. developing under the
conditions thus indicated Raron Kuki argues
that the salient factors in their art have nat

they have endured through all dynastic changes

Of the national traits in art than is to be noted
in any other and that is the school of K0rin
who hourished during the later years of the
seventeenth century and the earlier years OF
the eighteenth.
Taking up the tale where Baron Kuki drops
1t. Mr.. Tajima gives such historical details as
are available concerning the founder of his
school. Korin appeared in Japan in an era of
peace There was way for the SdnTUTdi to
occupy his time and to practise deeds OF valor"
whereupon these men. "whO had no commercial

mentioned as the ruler under whom K0rin espe-

turn of fate which synchronized their careers is
hit Off by Mr. Tajma in a quaint figure This
happy combination OF the Genroku luxury and
K0rin's genius" he says was like the smooth
running Of round ball upon 4 polished plate"
The artist was versatile. He was not only a
picture maker but u master of the decoration

forms of art originality in idea and In
style and consummate technique. He was also
a brilliant colorlst. achieving exquisitely har-
moniOus effects which he would sometimes
raise to a sumptuous plane by mixing LIQUID
gold with his pigments. He was in common
with all Oriental artists devoted student of

the purpose Of practising the famous tea cere-

in Denver and other parts of the

Peabody has issued a statement III

a thorough examination of the alleg-
ed fraud in every county of the state.
On the other hand, the Democrats
are claiming that fraud was commit

many places and that a recount will
not only show Adams elected. but IN
crease his vote. The official count be-
gan in this city Saturday and is pro-
ceeding slowly today. This afternoon

Bradley, was frightfully burned this
morning at eleven o'clock at The home
OF the parents on Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. The child was alone in the bed
room, and it is the opinion of DIR.
Bradley that the child secured a
match and struck it on the stove and
set fire to her clothes. When discov-
cred the little form was enveloped in
blaze and the clothes were torn of
and two physicians summoned. The
child was burned on the breast, neck
and face. right ear and right han1
and arm. The little sufferer showed
great endurance. and it is thought the
burns will not prove fatal.

While it has been kept secret for
some days it is now an open fact
that the protest that was filed with
the government against the building
of the Hondo reservoir has been for
mally withdrawn While it was never
believed that the protest would de
feat the project, it necessarily would
have delayed the building until the
government could have made full in
vestigation of the justice of the claims
of the Pecos Irrigation Company. Now
that the protest has been withdrawn
there is nothing in the way of the
immediate building of the reservoir.
1t is understood that the papers of
withdrawal signed by Frank G. Tracy,
President of the Pecos Irrigation Co.
are now in the hands of Attorney
Bien of the U. s. Reclamation Serv-
ice at Ell Paso The Water Users As

to the withdrawal.
