PAINT AND CLAY CLUB.

opinions of Exhibition This Evening.
 A large and representative audience is looked for at the opening of the Paint and Clay club exhibition this evening. All who attend the lecture on "venice" by Prof. Weir, which will be- gin promptly at SIS, will afterwards have an opportunity of viewing the picture.
 Though about fifty works were refused by the jury the number accepted and hung will greatly exceed that of the last exhibition, and of the quality of the work it is needless to say that the standard is much higher.
 It has been found necessary to use nearly the entire large room for the oils, and to open an additional room for the water colors and pastels, of which there are many fine examples
 On Tuesday and Friday afternoons during the exhibition the former cus- tom of serving tea in the gallery will be followed. These teas are not by in- vitation, but are open, to all who pay the regular admission. Tickets for this evenings lecture and private view may be obtained from the members of the club, at Augur's and Tiernan's art stores or at the door,

CHICKENS FOR A SICK DOG.
A Request That Startled the Restau-
 rant Manager.

A Request That Startled the Restau-
 rant Manager.
 Two women whose appearance in no way indicated possession of an abund- ance of this worlds goods brushed by the head waiter in an upper Sixth Avenue restaurant few days ago and on to the managers desk.
 T want some nice fresh chicken for a sick dog" said the woman in the lead.
 The manager was busy, very busy but the request brought him to atten- tion with an incredulous stare. He looked the women over, and their ap- nearance did not impress him. The pocketbook opened to pay matched in slenderness the plainness of their att tire.
 The group lunching at a nearby ta- ble looked up interested. A waiter put up his hand to his face to hide the grin that overspread it. The woman repeated her request and her compan- ion chimed in.
 Thin slices. please, off the breast" :" said the other woman. "He can't eat the OCner meat.
 That seemed to convince the res- taurant man that it wasn't dream, and the storm broke.
 "Madames.' he said with impressive politeness, i've do not in this restau- rant serve Good to be carried out not even (with whitening sarcasin) for sick dogs. One of the little eating I,o,tcac fo thor dovvy, fba auousto may supply you
 Then he buried himself in his ac- counts again. and the waiter grinned openly and appreciatively. whole volumes of indignation were compressed into one word
 The women turned to go out, but in the vestibule stopped and consulted. Then the second woman re-entered. seated herself at table near the door and gave an order The first woman went out. The manager didn't notice that either had returned.
 Presently the waiter brought to the woman at the table a dainty meal of fried chicken. She asked for check and paid it immediately as if she were in a hurry.
 As she did so the other woman re- food the waiter had brought was emp tied into it and folded up and the wo- men departed

Women Nowadays Do Not Produce

Women Nowadays Do Not Produce
 Anything Lasting.
 During the last century artistic ,needlework has not kept pace with the worlds progress, and does not appear Ito have the development which might be expected from it, considering its possibilities. Embroidery, that is to say, the ornamentation of textiles with fine stitchery, has, it is true, reached a point almost amounting to perfection, but these textiles are all ethereal crea- tions, dependent upon their, freshness and dainty coloring for their attrac- tion, and are not supposed to be lasting. The great ladies of older days who be- queathed to their descendants tapes tried arras depicting the historica events of their race left some of the most valuable monuments of antiquity; but it is to be questioned whether there is one single important piece of work made by a woman with shuttle or need le during the last hundred years that will go down to posterlty. There are, perhaps, the samples of our great grandmothers, which are valued by.col- lectors as curiosities, and a few faded ehari covers done in cross-stitch. This despised Berlin work, by the way, is really the best results of the needle that has been produced in modern days, time having dealt kindly with the crudely colored garlands of flowers re- ducing them to the soft tints of old tapestries. But for obvious reasons. despite it's good, enduring qualities, no important piece of work has ever been attempted in the slow and tedious cross-stitch which would have tried the patience of even medieval danes. It would seem, considering what field there is, comparatively free from com petition, that artistic women might con- sider what they can do with their needles, and, instead of devoting their time to brush and pigments and swell ing the ranks of mediocre artists, try to produce something in needlework that will be prized and appreciated for all time.-From the New York Tribune.

GENTLEAlANs WORD IN WALL.
 STREET

| STREET.
 Honor and personal veracity, we are
 told. are the very basis of business in
 Wall Street. but the testimony in the
 Sully case hardly bears out. the theory.
 On the face Of it, Mfr. Sullv with two associates agreed to squeeze a rising cotton maroet for all it was worth. It
 was personal. not Q business. trans action Orders were given by word of mouth and without memorandum; Mir sully did the buying without margin or collaterai: profits were divided in formally at a series of meetings, which, apparently, had the character of after neen teas. Large portions of the win nings were turned over to one member Of the pool for distribution to the others.
 No two fishermen who whipped a stream together. or amateurs who cracked a safe. ever made a more friendly division of the booty. Gamblers usually exact the formality of an I. o. .. when no cash passes: with these gentlemanly cotton spectators it was only a matter of Dear boy, buy me 2O,- GOO bales, if you and the fellows are in." Unhappy for those who maintain that Wall Street is the favorite abode of naked truth, these idyllic manners were only for a rising market Mir. Sully had never demanded cash for the spec ulative holdings of his associates. but he was forced to give cash, on strictest bushes principle, when the sale of those holdings meant the hastening of his ruin. These gentlemen who had conducted vast transactions verbally in the cheering aroma of the tea-room suddenly becoming very pedants for ac- counting. We leave all sporting men to judge whether one man lean on a successful gambler in his prosperity, but "give him the marble hand' when his luck forsakes him; for the whole matter lies in a sub-moral plane. where the ordinary ethics of business seem to sall.
 Seriously. however, MT. Sully's fah- ure. the evidence in the shipbuilding receivershiD, and certain memorable observations of John W. Gates. all cast an interesting light onup the truth fulness of Wall Street. Truthful Wall Street is-where it has to be. Natur- ally. nod on the floor of the Stock Exchange, or a word by telephone, may be good for a contract of millions, and such contracts, though mourning a loss to the broker, are never repudiated. It is this fact which leadse superficial peo- pie to assert that Will Street is the on- ly place where word is as good as bond. But why? Simply because a stock brok- CTS business can be conducted on no other bosis. If Stock Exchange sales were forgotten or repudiated. anachy would ensue.-New York Evening Post.
