Art. Music. Letters


The attention of American artists
and art lovers is centering just now on
the twenty-third annual exhibition Of
the Pennsylvania Academy Of Fine
Arts at Philadelphia. By common con-
sent this exhibition is the one distinc-
lively American art show. The most
striking feature this year is the por-
trait Of the Misses Hunter by Sargent.
A committee Of the Pittsburg orches-
ira has formally offered the director
ship of the famous organization to
Walter Damrosch, the New York mu-
steal conductor.
Carroll d. Wright is to write an eco
nomic history of the United States,

clerks, under the auspices Of the Car

ii for the st. Louis exposition, was fin
ished at Passaic, N. j., and shipped to
Birmingham, Ala, where it will be
cast in iron and sent to the fair to Or
nament the Palace of Mines and Metal
lurgy.

scramble to sell. The last weeks op-
erations of the cotton bulls caused the
failure Of A. B. Baxter & Co., $780,
600 New York brokerage corporation.
The decline in cotton continued from
day to day. 1t was believed that SulIy
had succeeded in unloading ahead of
the decline and thus had reaped har-
vest of many millions.
At the same time that the cotton mar
ket slumped the wheat pit at Chicago
went wild over the eastern war news
and the dollar mark was soon reached.
Shipyard Contest Ended.
All litigation in the famous shipyard
receivership case was brought to an
end Feb. 4, when Charles M. Schwab
made a complete surrender on every
point pressed by Samuel Untermyer,
counsel for first mortgage bondholders.
Schwab's friend, Max Pam, goes out,
and Elihu Root becomes counsel to the
syndicate. Schwab is to cancel his
$25 100000 mortgage. A new corpora
ton is to be organized as the Bethle-
hem Steel and Shipbuilding company
with $30,00O.000 capital stock, half
common and half preferred, and 49,
100000 collateral trust per cent ten
year gold bonds to provide working
capital Of the stock Schwab is to
have 100000 preferred and $6,OOO,-
600 common.
Western Copper Merger.
The principal copper properties of
Utah and Nevada have completed ar
rangements for the consolidation of
the Monarch Mines and Smelling cor
poration, with a capital of $30O00,000
and mining territory of 5000 acres.
Half the stock will be placed in the
treasury, and 100000 of 5 per cent
bonds will be issued.

1t was known Feb. 6 that the Penn !
sylvania railroad had negotiated a |
loan of $50,O0O,O00 on short time notes |
for the purpose of improving it's line |
between Pittsburg and Chicago.
Gould Road to the Pacific.
The filing of a $5O,oOO,O0O mortgage
by the Western Pacific railroad at Salt
Lake City to secure bonds for that I
amount is believed to mark the be-
ginning of vigorous action toward the
building of new Gould line between
Salt Lake City and San Francisco.

and conscientious performance of duty.
He believes that these salaries would
in the end be economical and declares
it is an impossibility to create sys-

Notes.
Librarian Mary B. Lindsay of Evans
ton, ILL.,, has taken stand against fur
nishing fairy tales and cheap Juvenile
fiction to young people, believing that
such stands in the way Of acquaintance
with literary masterpieces. The

Paper Mills Tied Up.

Paper Mills Tied Up.
Nearly all of the great paper mills of
New England and northern New York
have been compelled to shut down for
lack of water, due to the freezing up
of the streams which run the mills.
Besides this, there is reported to be an
insufficient stock of wood pulp, and for
the first time in it's history the paper
trust has been importing pulp from
Norway. This shortage affects news
paper, book, writing and white paper.
Scarcity Of Garden Seed.
The American Agriculturists annual
midwinter report on the seed situation
discloses short supply Of field and
garden seed, such as cucumbers, sweet
corn, beans, etc. Consequently high
prices are bound to prevail, and gar
deners are advised to get their supplies
carly.

A member of the senior class at Chi
cago university asked President Har-
per the other day if any professor
would be dismissed for criticising John
D. Rockefeller in relation to the Stand
ard Oil company and public affairs. In

Up to Their Knees,

The Charlton (Mo.) Courier tells
of small boy who rushed up to a
neighbor recently and said, eff you
please, sir, father and the hired man
have been cleaning out the well and
are in mud up to their knees"
"Well, what Of that?" asked the
neighbor.
''Well, if you please, sir, they are
in it wrong side up replied the boy.
Then the neighbor began to run.

"THE TAIL PIECE. "
Hogarth's Great Picture Representing
the End of All Things.

the End OF All Things.
Hogarth, the famous satirist, pro-
duced picture that for its choice
of subjects has never been equaled.
Not long before the death of this
genius he set about executing what
he facetiously termed ''The Tail
Piece" While sitting at his own ia
BILE in company with number OF
boon companions he was asked by
one of them what would be the sub
ject of his next drawing. He gloom
lily answered, "The end Of all
things" The next day he began the
design for this painting, and when
finished it proved a most ingenious
and unique effort. He grouped to-
gether everything that could denote
"the end of all things"
On the canvas was seen broken
bottle, worn out stump of a
broom, the broken butt of an old
musket, an unstrung bow, cracked
bell, a crown crumbling to pieces,
the ruins of a tower, the falling
signpost of an inn called The
Worlds End, a waning moon, the
map Of the globe burning, a gallows
falling into decay, the chains which
held the body Of the executed crimi-
nal hanging down and broken; the
god of day (Phebus) lying dead in
the clouds, a wrecked vessel, a rep
resentation Of Father Time with a
broken scythe and hourglass, pipe
from which issued a faint cloud Of
smoke, an open play book, with the
legend exeunt omnes (exit ally
stamped in the corner; an empty
purse and a statute of bankruptcy
taken out against nature.
The finishing touch consisted Of
broken palette upon which was III
scribed the word 'EFinis." Hogarth
never again took his palette in
hand, and one month after '"The
Tail Piece was finished he passed

Aunt Hephzibah's Pies.

A rather curious origin is given
for the expression Gin apple pie or
der" An accredited authority says
that the phrase dates back to the
time of the Puritans, to a certain
Aunty Hephzibah Morton. 1t seems
that every Saturday she was accus-
toned to bake two or three dozen
apple pies, which were to last the
family through the coming week.
These she placed carefully on her
pantry shelves, labeled for each day
Of the week, so that Tuesdays pies
might not be confused with Thurs
days or those presumably large ones
intended for washing and sweeping

Miners Must Pay Dues.
Local unions Of the United Mine
Workers have received orders to drop
from the lists all members who are

First Woman Machinist.
The first woman machinist in the
world to apply for membership in a
labor union is Miss Nellie Burke of
Wilkesbarre, Pa, who has been skill
ed loom repairer at the Wilkesbarre
lace mills for four years. She has
made her demands, and the interna-
tional association has been appealed to

Private coachmen Organized.
Labor organizers of Chicago have
succeeded in getting 200 private fam

will be no food delivered to the barns,
