answer, and he took off his hat and saw
he was shot. He was badly scared and
ran west out of the field and down the
road to Bill Palmer's house where he
stopped and asked for drink and then
went up the creek. He says he did not
know what to do, but decided to go
home, which he did, and when question
ed by his father and others denied
knowing anything about it, and said he
had come straight up the road from
.Clark's to his fathers house.
The young man will he twenty-one
years old in August, but does not know
the day of the month on which he was
born. He has never lrcen considered as
very bright, and would not stay at home
but roamed around over the country,
working while here and there, and it
is said had frequently threatened that
he would kill some one. This talk has
probably given rise to the rumor that
he had quarreled with the boy and de-
cided to murder him. Another rumor
was that the boy knew something Young
of the way for this reason, but there is
nothing in the way Of tangible evidence
in regard to this, and the indications
ti Ghdo VuO SuooCluS oCCufECo do eoiNe
by Young. The victim of the shooting
was thirteen years old last October, a
mere slip Of a boy and it was Il sad sight
to see him lying in the coffin.
Young was taken before Justice Beck
Saturday morning, an information hav-
ing been sworn out by Sheriff Wallace
on the advice of the county attorney,
charging him with murder in the first
degree. He waived examination and
was bound over to the grand jury with
out bonds, and is confined in the county
Jail. He does not seem to realize the
gravity of his otfense, and talks about
it as ii it was an every day occurrence.
The next term of court does not meet
here until October oath and there is
some talk of asking Judge Towner to
sommon special session Of the grand
jury to indict him and accept a plea Of
guilty, which he evidently will make
now that he has confessed. There be-
ing no eye witness to the shooting and
the circumstances corrobating Young's
statement that it was an accident, it is
not likely that he could be convicted Of
a greater charge than manslaughter, tc
which he would plead guilty. The max.
imum penalty for manslaughter is only
eight years, running down to as short 9
term as the court sees fit to intiict.s

make one reflect a little on the clubs past.
Twelve years ago Sargent, ]. ]. Shannon,
Clausen. Stanhope. Forbes and some others
were making the club the talk of London
A few years later the Academy had come
to terms with the opposition, Sargent and
others took Office" and their visiting
cards blossomed out with r. A. or A. r. A.
This year the Academy scored another sue
cess and Mr.. Furse became an A. r. A.,
yet both Furse and Sargent have sent pic
lures to show that the old tie still exists.
Very characteristic of the club Is the
position Of Mr.. P. Wilson Steer, who Is rep
resented here by two portraits and land
stape. On one side Mr.. Steer Is thought to
be the most living force in English art, and
his admirers point to his big landscape
view of Richmond Castle" drenched in
sunshine and alive with wind, and his ro-
mantle portrait Of lady against the blue
nocturne of the river, as two pictures in
different branches of art which could be
done by no one else.
Mr. Rothenstein's contribution is re-
markably real and luminous picture of two
Jews reading the Talmud Mr.. Augustus
E. John has a haf-length figure of girl,
which one may not like, but one cannot
forget.
1t is a popularity OF these artists that,
like the Dutch masters, they find beauty
and interest at their own DOORS and there
Is no better instance of this than the poetic
sentiment which Francis d. Dodd has been
able to find In THE Last Board School.

Suggestions Which May Lessen Dan
ger From Fire.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. christopher Clarke, member of the
Massachusetts State Firemen's Associa-
ton. has addressed letter to the mayor
and city council suggesting changes OF
construction which he considers should
be made for the protection of life and
property. He says:
"First-That every building to be erect
ed in the future shall, so far as possible,
be divided into separate compartments,
either by permanent fireproof walls, doors
and fire-stops of wood covered with tin
or iron, so arranged as to be instantly
closed by automatic or other means (al-
ready in use) to shut Off the fire and
smoke from going beyond the story in
which the fire originates.
"Second-That the adoption of the fire.
proof stairways Enclosed in fireproof com
partments or towers, according to the
architecture or demands of the building,
shall be made obligatory in all new
buildings where fire escapes are demand
ed, so that there can be certain means
of escape from each story to the ground
Independent of the ordinary stairways
that are many times instantly blocked by
fire and smoke
"Third-That the use of fireproof shut
tiers and the standard insurance fireproof
doors should be enforced in all buildings
where very infiammable goods oil or raw
material is stored.
"Fourth--The use Of metal or ffreproof
roofs should in some way be made more
general, especially in wooden and high
buildings. The danger of surrounding
property from burning buildings (high
| or low that have single or wooden
roofs is very great.
"All elevators should be built in brick
| or fireproof Enclosures with fireproof
doors at each entrance and with self-clos-
| ing traps for all manufacturing build
| ings.
1.-THE new ffreproof compartment tower,
| by which the inmates of the building can
have an entrance at every floor to sepa-
rate incombustible tower stairways
! reaching to the ground, is also an in
| slant means for the flremen to reach any
| for water placed in the tower and pro-
| tected from freezing can instantly be
| utilized to put out the fire.
| The sprinkler system can also be pro-
tected in the same tower or Commandment
Any city ordinance which may be adopt
| ed should include the above projections
| which would result in an enormous saw
| Ing of life and property in the future Bal
| cony and ladder escapes are without
| question. under many conditions, danger
| Gus to the last degree, for when the fire
| breaks out under or near them or they
are covered with ice they cannot be used
| safely at all and have thus caused. the
death of many persons.
| One of the most effective aids in the
prevention of the spread of fire in build
| ings where the ordinary lath and plaster
partitions are or have been used is to fil]
| in the space between the base or mon
boards of every story with five or six
inches OF plaster, concrete, mineral wool
| or any other fireproof materials, so as ia
| prevent fire or smoke from running uu

Ben Franklin's Philadelphia Treat
From the PhjladpIphia Record

An interesting collection of invitations to
and from Benjamin Franklin during his
visit to England has been placed in the
University of Pennsylvania library Among
the letters to Franklin are some from the
peerage for great and for little dinners, but
perhaps the most interesting is one from
a gentleman who described himself as in
lodgings and unable to entertain Mr..
Franklin at his home. He therefore pro-
posed a visit to the Star and Garter. and
then went on to say that he would order a
dinner at q crown head, evidently ex-
pecting Franklin to bear his share. There
is no record of an acceptance.
