Bristol an Art Center.

Bristol, the city that gave Chatterton birth, Is an art centre for the west of England of considerable importance. It is even now erecting a new art gallery at a cost of e90,000. Many painters of re- pute live within it's boundaries and pic ture exhibitions are frequent. Its art publishers in Clare street are almost within bow shot of the house where Sir Thomas Lawrence. once president of the Royal academy, was born, This fact invests with exceptional interest the ad- mirable reproduction of Sir Thomas fa- nous portrait of Miss Farren, which Messrs. Frost and Reed have just pub lished The original has been one of the star" pictures at the winter show at Burlington house, an exhibition which has served to revivfy Lawrence's repu- tation to a considerable extent. Another recent publication from 8 Clare street Is a photogravure reproduction of one of Mir John McWhirter's academy land scapes. "rhe Peaks of Arran' which, for my own part, I certainly prefer 10 the highly colored original Another Scotch artist selected for the honor of reproduc- ton is Mir Joseph Farquharson, whose Salmon Fishing on the Dec. one of the most popular sporting pictures on the line in the academy of 1902 has also been just issued by Messrs. Frost and Reed. The mezzotint engraving of this painting was entrusted to the practised hand of MT. Herbert Sedcole, who has performed a task of considerable difficulty with complete success.

Blackburn on carpet-sasgers.

From the New York World.
 Joe" Blackburn of Kentucky came to the senate yesterday carrying an old fashioned carpet-bag. 1t was of many colors. and was stuffed with doeumen- tary evidence as to why Gen. Leonard Wood should not be promoted to major generalship.
 "'rhis is the sort of bag carried by the northerners after the war when they broke into office in the south" said Sem ator Blackburn.
 'zeb Whitman. of Harrodsburg was asked once to give a definition of the word 'carpet-bagger.
 "A carpet-bagger,' he said, is a tid- bit politician who lives one day of the week on chicken and the other six on feathers. When he wants to move all he has to do is to put out the fire. call the dogs and "git." :"

cothran 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

By Ware & Leland.
 New York, April 2.--The market closed idle but hard enough for all the business there was doing The bank statement was well received, but did not stimulate business to any appreciable extent. Clos ing transactions represented exactly the extent of floor traders account which were evened up as uspal. There was no other business Traders hammered 'Peo- ple's Gas on the idea that short interest was covered and bought it on the decline, taking a turn both ways at the expense of Chicago houses, who seem to have been supplied with manlpulative orders. Arbitage houses were not represented as there was no market in London, but there were one or two purchases, notably in Union Pacific, which might possibly have been for foreign operators. Sales of stocks to close, 106, 900 shares.

Attempt to Eathom Secret.

The wife of the late Lord Strathmores s elder brother made an attempt to fathom the Glamis secret. which produced a per manent alienation from her husband. A party of relations and intimate friends were staying at the castle, and Lord Strathmore had gone away for a few days. One afternoon it was suggested that a search should be made for the secret chamber A towel or a pocket handkerchief was to he hung out of every. window in the castle. The secret chamber was said to have a window so that its position would not be revealed if 1t was left unmarked. Lady Strath- more thoughtessly consented to the pro- posal. No sooner were towels and hand kerchiefs fiuttering from every accessible window than Lord Strathmore unexpect- ly returned. and deep was his indlgna- ton and bitter were his reproaches,

cothran 6 co.,s cotton Letter.

By fiIbert & JIay.
 Birmingham. April 1.-The only markets open today were the Chicago board of trade and the New York stock exchange. All American markets will be open Mon day.
 Chicago markets opened very steady with a good advance in provisions, wheat and corn. The full advance was not held Armour has been an open buyer of corn and with the manipulation going on in this cereal it is hard to express an intel ligent opinion as to it's future course On further advance in wheat or provisions it might be well to take profits.
 The stock market has ruled dull. The bank statement came better than expected and we favor buying good stocks on all reactions.

One of them a lady celebrated in Paris clung lately to Mime Sarah Bernhardt She had asked many friends to advise her as to pro- Jected visit to London. Would the cll- mate agree with her? Would exalted society patronize her exercises in pal mistry? Some said one thing and sore another, but when Mme.

Caldwell C Wards Grain Letter.

By Bartlett. Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, April 2.-Wheat--A short ses- sion and the holiday abroad limited trad ing to the local operators. The market started strong in sympathy with the coarse grains, but eased off on bearish crop reports and inspite of an improved cash business. Our stock of contract is decreasing rapidly and will soon disap- pear If sales continue at the same rate as today This will affect old July more than anything else, and 1t is probably a purchase on the decline. Estimated cars Monday, 15.
 Corn continues it's gradual upward tendency with the assistance of Armour & Go. the trade was not large today and rather nervous. The sample for corn from Nebraska was half cent higher, for Illinois corn trife lower, and the quail ty of the corn from this state was very much improved. Estimated receipts Mon- day, 190 cars.
 Oats-Standard strong, mainly influenced by corn and by pretty fair buying for short account. Cash market was steady. Estimated receipts Monday 155 cars.
 Provisions-The provision market was strong and active. Pork was In particu- larly good demand by both longs and shorts Local receipts were light. Esti- mated for Monday. 34,000 hogs, and for next week, 145000.

Steel preferred was steady and a more hopeful view was taken of prospects of the preferred dividend. The market closed quiet and weak. Sales, 105,3oo.

PRESIDENT SLOCOMB RESIGNS.

1t will be regretted that E. M.
Slocomb, who was president of
the Chamber of Commerce, felt
that it was his duty to resign.
Mr.. Slocomb undoubtedly per-
mitted his personal interests
to influence him to present his
resignation. Upon the matter
which caused his resignation
the writer heard him state in
front of number of gentlemen
that he would abide the deci-
sion of the majority. But he
did not do that. The vote was
unanimous which sustained
Secretary Fisher and Mr.. Slo-
comb should have been broad
minded enough to have stood
by the vote of his colleagues
on the Board. Certainly the
scope of the work of the Cham
Der of Commerce is more COM
prehensive than just the mat
ter which caused President
Slocomb to resign. If it is not,
Mr.. Slocomb had a very mar
row view of what the functions
of the Chamber were and what
it was hoped to accomplish.
The whole work outlined was
certainly of vastly more impor-
tance than any single matter
which might have caused a dis
agreement or division of opin-
ion. We believed Mr.. Slocomb,
on account of his aggressive
personality was the right man
in the right place, but we feel
that he cannot asked to be
sustained in the present mat
ter in the least. 1t was his
privilege of course to resign,
but he accepted the position
with the other members of the
directorate and he certainly
should abide by a majority
vote. This opinion of Mr.. Slo-
combs resignation, is irrespec-
tive of the merits of the case,
whether Secretary Fisher was
right or wrong in his method
of conducting the business of
the Chamber in this particular
case.
