OF art and the futTe of San Francisco.
H c. P. Nelson's water colors are
still hanging in the Sequoia Club
rooms-such of them as are not sold.
This earnest young fellow, with the
Christlike face, is achieving that success
that comes only with endeavor
In coloring Nelson possesses power
His drawing is at times at fault, as to the
Mission Dolores picture, but the ideal
ization Of his subjects atones for much
of this sin.
In romance pictures Nelson excels
He feels things in color, and he makes
you feel it
The accompanying photograph is from
a painting hanging at the Sequoia
IL you can coax a card from a member
or can bribe the Japanese janitor at the
ciub-go in and take a peek at these
warm California and Mexican scenes
painted by a sympathetic hand through
feeling heart.

specific authority is but a revelation of
dininutive mind and an ungenerous
soul, and wholly unworthy the great
teachers of the world-which worthy
artists are.
Honest and kindly criticism is another
thing 1t is not only just. but serviceable.
and is TO art what the pruning-knife is to
the cherry tree And every earnest and
ambitious artist of the right type is will
ing TO lend an ear-not oerjoyed, but
much as he would take a dose Of medi-
cine when he knew he needed it.
But deliberate knocking is another mat
ter.
It's an insult to art and a debasement
OF the soul of the knocker
And If some of the knockers / know
would only lay down their hammers and
devote their analytical powers to their
own canvases San Francisco would soon
be a Munich.

When the street fair now in prog

finitely planned as to what particular

must not be so blocked up as to
prevent the passage of wheeled We

JOE CANS IS THE
REAL CHAMPION
CLAIM THAT BRITT is THE HOLD
Err OF THE TITLE ARouSEs
FRIENDS or NEGRO LIGHT
WElGHT-WHAT THEY SAY.

James Edward BritJ's defeat OF
Jabez White In San Francisco causes
many sporting men to proclaim him
the lightweight champion fighter OF
the world. According to this authori
~ he Is entitled to all honors, and
the public will receive him as such,
says New York dispatch.
This declaration and proclamation
cause the more conservative of fight
followers 10 ask. what Is the matter
with Joe Cans z"
Says, one sporting man, who, by the
way. is an ardent admirer of Britts
fighting qualities: THE battle which
he fought and won was such that the
followers of the game will accord him
the honor of the tile, regardless of the
technicalities, and hereafter he will
be hailed as champion at home and
abroad
Another of the fight followers, tri-
fie more conservative, has this to say
on the subject:
We'll. Joe Cans is a real overweight
champ on. Did he not win it from
Britt when the Californian fought the
negro2 He, then. Is the proper holder
Of the title. 1t seems to me that Britt
| is Che better fighter of the two, and
probably is the most deserving. He
is great little fighter He had Cans
whipped to a standstill In reality, and
but for that unlucky foul | believe he
would have defeated the negro.
Another thing must be taken into
consideration. That Is that Cans
should not really lay claim 10 the title
He is not able to make the weight
1 1873 pounds-and still be at his best
He used to be at his best at lbs
pounds, and that Is rather difficult
| for him 70 reach. and still be strong
Cans refused to defend the lightweight
tile at 1888 pounds, knowing fun wei
that he can't make il.
Then there Is only one solution o
: the problem that presents itself u
my mind That is for Cans to relin
lquish the lightweight ii le. II Ia no
necessary that he should give II I
Britt. Let him give It to no one pa
: ticularly, except the man who prove
!. he Is the most worthy of it.
AT the present time that woul
mean Britt. But Nelson and Britt ar
going 10 meet again. am Of the o.
inion that the lightweight title wi
d go to the winner Of that contest. Gan
q claim to the tile, although perfect
N legitimate. Is really ridiculous. TT
only manly thing for him to do wou
II be to relinquish II in favor Of the wi
'e ner Of the Britt-Nelson fight It WI
Z, published freely that the winner
B the Britt-White fight would be callt
; the lightwe' ght champion.
but II takes some sort OF a decla
n alton on the part of Cans to make
= so. There Is no governing body
- take the title away from Cans, ev'
u though be cannot make the weight al

 Turn sellers.

New York. Jan 24--The cotton market showed nervousness and irregularity rather than any distinct tendency with final prices showing very little change as compared with the previous closing.
 The market opened firm at an advance Of 7011 points in response to ftrmer caoies and expectations of bullish news from the New Orleans convention. But yesterdays buyers appeared to be selling the Soutn sent selling orders to the local market and fn spite of considerable covering quotations gradually sagged off.
 Around midday they had drifted back to about the final bids of yesterday. after which the general ruling was irregular with the final quotations net lG3 points higher. Sales of futures were estimated at z5,oo" bales.
 The better cables were attributed to cov- erfng and an improved sentiment regarding me Russian situation. Receipts seemed to bs increasing slightly, being little heavier at the ports today than year ago. but the interior movement continued quiet and re ports from the belt indicated that spnt holo Srs as a rule were showing little disposition to find e market by granting concessions from present prices.
 The fact that New Orleans appeared to De selling here attracted some attention, as the presence in this city of the delegates to the conventiori which has for its purpose the ad. vancing of prices for the present crop and reducing acerage next season had been ex pected to have a buliish influence on senti- 1nent. Southern spot markets according to official advices were generally quiet ana un- rifan1ed.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans Jan. 24.-The cotton mar ket was fairly active today and prices fluc- tuated over rather broad range. At times considerable strength was shown. but this did not come from bull support: it was pro- duced solely by the covering of shorts who were nervous at the prospect of possible bullish consequences of the cotton couven- tion about to be called to order in this city.
 The market opened barely steady with prices from 2 to points higher than the closing of yesterday. Liverpool was better than looked for at the time of the opening of the local market, showing an advance of 3 points a firm tone. whereas to have met the course of the American markets yesterday decline of point would have been Justified New York came in firm at an advance of 6d9 points For some time after the opening the market looked higher. especially when 1t was spread about that the continent had sent a large number of firm bids to local exporters and that these bids were on a shipping basis. As has been the case for some time past however. the bulls gave the market not the slightest support and soon the furry Of short covering was over. the market developed a weak feeling and prices were sent below ths level of yesterdays closing.
