Work in Oriental Pewter.

Boston Herald: There is nc question
but that antique pewter from China
and Japan is being hailed by collectors
as a discovery. True. h compound
is in itself nothing SO novel. Indeed.
our g~randmothers used occasionally to
get bits of 1t In the days of the East
India trade, when husbands. SOM and
sweethearts would scurry about the
Chinese ports in search OF souvenirs
to carry home to the "women folks"
But somehow, in b midst of The gen
eral furore over Japanese art that has
prevailed these last few years, very
little has ever been heard of pewter
objects, though some amateurs have
been aware that it has claims to their
consideration.
nese pewter which Paul Chaldn. cur-
ator OF the oriental departments at the
Museum of Fine Arts, is now arrang-
ing IN cases in the metal ROOM, is, so
far as is known, the first of its Kind
ever made in America. A number OF
articles secured at the Yamanaka and
Matsuki sales have already thus been
put on view. Some OF these speci-
mems date back to the Sung or Ming
dynasties; others are quite modern
But all illustrate the possibilities Of
this metal in the hands of skilful de-
signers who know how to use gold.
silver or brass in connection with it.
In the center of the first case that
has been arranged there is a large
vaselike covered jar, dating back to
the fifteenth century, and surmounted
by q s%tatuette Of copper. inlaid with
brass. This Is a Chinese object. as are
two small tea caddies, with portions in
high relief; two large salvers Of pew
ter. fnlaid with brass, and a wonder
full teapot, with handle Of jade.
The Japanese pewter in another case
shows everywhere strong affinity with
the designs of other branches Of Jap
anese art. and direrentfates itself
sharply in many essential particulars
from the Chinese productions. Among
other things shown are a bowl Of
the seventeenth century, with honey
suckle pattern, q very charming OBJ
ject in color n design; a large jar
speckled with black-the quality that
makes oriental pewter most valuable
and indicating by its o-rnamentation
that it belongs to the class that was
once made by special command of the
court of the Shotgun for the emperor
himself; q very striking bowl of pewter
exterior. inlaid with panels of brass
The objects are now on view at the
museum.

SHRINKS FROM
GAZE OF MAN
Nan" Patterson Objects to
Presence Near Her of the
Partner of Caesar Young
ASKS FOR HIS REMOVAL
Eye Witness to Shooting
Discovered in Peculiar Way
During Court Proceedings

NEW YORK Nov. 17.-With four of
the twelve men who are to decide her
fate already selected, the trial of Nan
Patterson, the former show girl charged
with the murder of Caesar Young. the
wealthy horseman, was continued in
the criminal branch of the Supreme
Court to-day. The greatest care has
been used in the examination of the
talesmen and the exhaustive question:
ing and almost indiscriminate challeng-
ing for even the slightest cause indi-
Gated that not only might another full
court day or even more be consumed
in filing the jury box, but that the
panel of one hundred taIesmen might be
exhausted before the task was complet-
ed. Thus far the general public has
been shut out entirely from the pro-
ceedings, only those having a direct
connection with the case being allowed
to enter the courtroom. Yesterday the
available space was well filed by the
court officials, newspaper men and the
talesmen awaiting examination as to
their qualifications for jury duty and
the officers who guarded all the doors
had little trouble in keeping back the
crowds which gathered in the corri-
dors. Whether the bars would be kept
trial was not known, but many who
desired to take advantage of the first
opportunity to gain admittance were on
hand early to-day
Miss Patterson seemed in good spirits
when she entered the courtroom to-day
and a brief chat with her counsel be-
fore the trial was resumed added to
her apparent cheerfulness. Mr.. Levy
informed the defendant that the morn
which might have an important bearing
on the case. What the letter contained
was not divulged.
John Millin, who was Caesar Young's
racing partner and who, it is under
stood. will be one of the principal wit
nesses for the prosecution, was made
to sit in the rear of the courtroom upon
request OF the prisoner. MiIlin had
seat near the bar Of the inclosure and
had been watching Miss Patterson
closely for some time when she asked
that he be ordered away from the rail.
AS Millin passed the defendant in go
ing to the rear of the courtroom she
shrank back on the shoulder of her
father.
An eyewitness to the shooting Of
Young was discovered in a most un-
usual way to-day while the trial was
in progress. Archibald J. C. Anderson,
one of the men summoned for examina-
tion as to his qualifications TO serve on
the jury, was being questioned by AS
sistant District Attorney Rand, when
he asked permission to speak with
Justice Davis. who is presiding at the
trial. After a whispered conversation
counsel for the prosecution and de-
fense were called to the bench and a
moment later Anderson was excused
and Joined counsel for the prisoner
within the bar of the enclosure. Daniel
J. O'Reilly, one of Miss Patterson's s at
torneys, said that an eyewitness to
the shooting had been discovered. In
formation to this effect had been COM
municated to Justice Davis by Ander-
son. When court adjourned seven
jurors had been accepted
