Art in Chicago,

1t is estimated that there are now
more than 1000 art students iu
Chicago. The Ar Institute of Chicago
in 1904 has enrolled more than $500
pupils and in the Academy of Fine
Arts and Il dozen lesser schools.
studios and private classes there are
nearly 5000 other students who are
devoting their efforts to the pictorial
and plastic arts.
No other city in the world has an art
museum so well attended as that of
the Art Institute of Chicago. Already
in 1904 more than half a million
visitors have inspected its pictures.
sculptures and exhibitions of curios,
and based upon last years total Of
visitors nearly a million persons will
have visited its galleries before the
close of this year.
The galleries of the institute have
been enriched by donations from pri-
yate citizens of Chicago as no other art
institute in America has been enriched.
There are few notable private COL
lecIohs IN ChlcaSO that can compare
with similar assemblies of art works
in other cities. And the fact is char
acteristic of Chicago. for here the
richest and most judicious collectors
have been generous enough and public
spirited enough to give to a public
institution those attractions, those cost
ly displays of works of art which in
other American cities are kept alOof
from the public for the special delecta-
ton of the few who are wealthy
enough or fortunate enough to possess
them.-Chicago Tribune.

Peat briQuettes, ali heat except a
pinch of ashes, can now he made by
improved processes for $1.21 a ton.
The heat supply increases proportion
ately with the distance from the equa-
tor. In cold and wet countries the eli
mate does not well do the drying, and
methods have consequently to be re-
sorted to. So prepared, there is peat
enough distributed here and there in
the world to conduct a substantial civ
ilization on for an indefinite succession
of centuries. Alaska has plenty of it,
and so has Siberia, with ample depos-
it's in far northern countries. Sweden
already uses 100000 tons of the bri-
quotes yearly, and within fifty miles
of Chicago are deposits of the material
sufficient to supply the city with fuel
for a period to come perhaps as long
as it may have any use for fires or do
nestle hearths to light them on. One,
seventh of the area of Ireland consists
of peat boys heretofore not to be prof
itably worked, but by the new process
made as valuable as coal mines.

Telephones i'm Hospita,s.

In Philadelphia, it is stated, tele-
phones are to remove the barrier be-
tween inmates of the Municipal Hos
pital and their friends in the outside
world. DR.. Edward Martin, Director
of the Department of Public Health
and Charities, has completed arrange
ments whereby a complete telephone
system is to be installed in the Munic-
ipal Hospital, with telephones in each
ward, so that direct communication
between without and within may be
had. Hitherto the hospital, entrance
to which is forbidden to even the near
est relatives Of patients, has been con-
nected with the world by a single wire
from q central exchange through the
Electrical Bureau in City Hall. Com
m%unication was irregular and slow.
With an exchange on each floor and
in each ward it is believed that inquir-
les regarding the condition of patients
can be answered speedily and satisfac-
torily both to patient and to friends

ADMIRAL'S WORDS CARRY WEIGHT.
Dogs and Their Owners.

The cult of the small dog exists in
Mayfair and numerous instances of
extravaganza can be quoted in this
connection.
Queen Alexandra is very fond of toy
dogs but her Majesty resolutely sets
her face against any expensive absurd
tiles, thus setting an excellent example
to society.
Consuelo Duchess of Manchester is
fond of toy dogs. The Countess of
Warwick keeps Maltese spaniels.
Nine. Vagliano's brown poodIes are
we'll known, and the Pekinese spaniels
of Sir William and Lady Ingram are
perhaps the most valuable toy dogs
in England.
Although it is considered bad taste
to waste money over toy dogs, there
are people who will buy a 50-guinea
sable coat for a pet griffon or a 20
guinea cninchilla sacque for n
wretched shiyering Italian greyhound.
These fur garments are made with
pockets, in which are inserted dainty
squares of old lace for handkerchiefs.
A considerable sensation was caused
in a certain section of society a year
or two ago by the present of a
jewelled clockwork mouse with eyes
of diamonds to a lady for the amuse-
ment of her toy terrier.
A wee Mexican dog named Cinderel-
la always has a white satin ribbon
round her neck threaded through dia-
mond clasps. A crystal slipper at one
time hung from it but as it was CON
stantly getting broken a pendant in
the form of a swan was substituted,
the body being a beautiful pearl and
the wings studded with diamonds.
Cinderella always eats her food off
silver plates.
Jeweled collars costing anything up
to 100 guineas are fairly common, and
diamond bracelets round the forepaws

Wilcox Intended Shooting In the Air
to Scare Children Who Annoyed Him.
Westield, N. J.-Shooting to scare
away Halloween merrymakers. Har-
old NJ. Wilcox, a prominent citizen
of this place and an officer of a COM
pany that manufactures musical in
struments, Shot and killed John OAR
ling, fourteen Years old. In their cele-
bration a party of merrymakers made
free with Mr.. Wilcox's home at Park
and Westfield avenues.
The party, which appears to have
caused him annoyance, was composed
of young people of seventeen and over.
When Mr.. Wilcox emerged from his
home carrying q revolver they ran
down the street. Mr.. Wilcox saw them
running and fired in the opposite di-
rection. The party was composed of
young men and women, and when they
fed a crowd of boys and girls, frola
ten to fifteen years old, ran in the op-
poSite direction.
Mr.. Wilcox did not see this group,
and the shot went among them, hitting
the Darling boy. He must have had
his mouth open, as the bullet appar-
emily passed between his lips and en-
tered the roof Of his mouth, taking
an upward course into the brain.
When the bullet hit him the boy ran
forward about fifty feet and then be-
gan to stagger. He then turned and
ran across the street to the far side
walk, and then, again turning, he
staggered ~diagonally back across the
street into the group of children, al
most to the spot where he was hit. and
then fell dead.
He was carried to Mr.. Wilcox's
home, and Mr.. Wilcox telephoned for
physicians, but their services were use
less. Mr.. Wilcox then notified the DO
lice of what had occurred and also the
County Physician. MI. Wilcox was
placed in the custody of the police
awaiting the action of the County
Physician. He is forty years old and
mas children about the age Of those
who participated ir the affair. He is
Frustrated.

field and Westfield Golf Clubs. Young

MOTORS ON L. I. RAILROAD.
Westinghouse Company to Equip 100
Cars-Change to Be Made i'll Spring.

Pittsburg, Pa. The Pennsylvania
Railroad will equip the entire Long
Island Railroad system with electric
trolleys. The Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company has a
contract to equip 122 cars with motors.
Each car will have four motors of 12j
horse power each. These are to take
the place of locomotives now in use.
The power will be generated at the
big power house now being completed
on Long Island near the ferry house.
The entire Long Island Railroad will
be strung with copper wires and trains
will be run from New Jersey to the
end of the island by electric motors.
The change will be made in the ex-
cursion trains next spring, and when
the short lines are running smoothly
orders will be placed for additional
motors for the express trains.
