Automobiles and Good Roads.
From Outing Magazine.


The crowning glory automobile touring
however, lies In the demand it has created
in all parts of the world where motor cars
are being used for pleasure or business
purposes, for good roads. Here in America
the good roads movement, within recent
years has become question Of national
importance. With the exception of a few
states. notably New Jersey and Massachu-
sets, the subject of better roads was the
last thought that gave the legislators the
least particle of trouble. The automobile
Club of America in its younger days ex-
pended a tremendous amount of argumen-
tative energy in endeavoring to convince
the lawmakers of New York that money
expended on good roads was good bust
ness investment. Their appeals brought
out a few thousand dollars. somewhat
grudgingly given. Finally the generous
sum of 100000 was appropriated, and at
the forthcoming election a constitutional
amendment will be presented to the voters
providing that the state may bond itself
for s., OOO.OO0 for ten years for the build
ing of improved wagon roads.
Agitation has been productive OF similar
good results in other states. Governor Din
cen, of Illinois, gave marked Illustration
of the growing demand for better roads in
the west when, in his last message, he
made a strong plea for the expenditure of
more money and careful thought upon road
building. HIS statement tnat parely z per
cent of the Illinois roads were suitable for
traffic at all periods Of the year was no ex-
aggeration and scores of other states could
show no niger average. Departments Of
highways have been established in Califor-
mia, Idaho Minnesota. Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, Oregon, Tennessee, North Carolina
Nebraska and In several of the eastern
states in which the good roads movement
has langushed. Florida recently appro-
priated $780, GOO for good roads, and it is
confidently predicted that within short
time there will not be state in the Union
that will not manifest just pride In the
increasing mileage of its serviceable roads
good all the rear round.

Fossil Ivory.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
Fossil or blue ivory is sometimes found IN
commerce, and Is used occasionally in the
manufacture of jewelry. 1t is evidently from
the tusks of antedeluvian mamroths buried
in the earth for thousands of years, during
which time they have become slowly pene-
trated with metallic salts, which have given
them peculiar blue color. allowing them TO
be used as turquoises.

A R T N O T E s.

This is without doubt the dullest of all
seasons in the art world-the flag end of the
year when the dog days engender indif-
ference and the motive power Is fairly eN-
hausted. Most of the local studios are
closed, and the dealers galleries have few
visitors. Abroad the important sales and
shows of the current season are virtually
over, and at home the summer exhibitions,
opened in June, have become old stories.
That there is not an entire cessation of &C
tivity is, however, evinced by bits of news
which come drifting in from time to time
from out-of-own places.
X "
By way Of New England, for example, 1t
is learned that at East Gloucester last week
a specially interesting exhibition, composed
OF paintings by the vrious members OF the
summer art colony, was held in connection
with fair conducted for the benefit OF the
Seamen's Institute An opportunity was
thus given both the artists and the public
to view together and in close proximity
the works which had on previous Saturday
afternoons been shown separately in the
several studios. The exhibition was ar
ranged and managed by Mr.. Parker Mann
and Mr.. Corwin. and among the contribu-
tors were several members Of our local
fraternity.
At Annisquam a curious exhibition was
lately held Of Eskimo costumes. weapons,
geegaws and household utensils, arranged
in the Yacht Club by Mr.. Eric Pape of the
Pape School of Design. The purpose was
to set forth the art OF the Eskimo and to
demonstrate the fact that these people of
the north are not without artistic percep-
ton nor ignorant of the elemental prin-
ciples of design. Mr.. Pape is an authority
on costumes, and both a decorator and
a teacher has scored great success.
The Metropolitan Museum, New York,
has purchased in Paris bronze statue of
the Emperor Caius Vebius Frebonjanus
GalIus which is said to be one of the finest
examples of Roman iconic sculpture In ex-
istence 1t was unearthed in fragments the
early part of the last century near the
Church of San Giovanni in Laterano, by
men In the employ Of Count Nicholas DEM
idov, who had 1t restored and declared 1t
to be a portrait of Julius Caesar. At his
death 1t passed into the possession OF his
son, who gave 1t in payment of debt to
the distinguished architect, Montferrand.
The original restoration proved only tenn
porary in character, and in the Monitor
rands' palace in st. Petersburg the statue
fell into pieces and into disrepute, Thus,
in 1853, 1t was purchased by Rollins ana
Feuardent. taken to Paris and again re-
stored, but this time so clumsily that its
owners, in despair. packed 1t away In
shed. where 1t was discovered two years
ago. 1t was then found that portions of
the figure had been entirely misplaced. por-
tons of the limbs substituted for parts of
the torso and SO on: but after eighteen
months work NJ. Andre has rectified these
errors, reiitting the fragments in their
rightful positions and Joining them almost
without scar or blemish, and once again
the statue Is whole. 1t was probably origi-
nally cast in the third century A. D.. and

Unusual attention Is being attracted to
the Art Institute of Chicago by two pri-
vate loan collections of portraits by famous
English painters which have lately been
placed on view. One day last week four
thousand persons visited the galleries In
which these pictures were displayed be-
tween the morning opening hour and 3
10 the afternoon. For an August exhibition
this is more than remarkable and most
gratifying.

HARD TIME ACCOUNTING.
House Takes Thirty Minutes to Make
Up Mind After University Trip.

1t was just ten minutes before >
o'clock when the lower house was called
to order yesterday afternoon, follow
ing the fiocking-in of members from
the university trip. The hour set for
the session was o'clock: consequently
a number, of legislators who did not ac-
company the main body waited patient
~ for early two hours.
Immedia tely upon the reading of the
journal. Roberts moved to adjourn until
p. m Monday. This carried. as far
as could be judged from the volume Of
the ayes and nays. respectively, but the
speaker decided that il lost. Then An
derson presented a motion to adjourn
until p. m. Monday. The same rul-
ing obtained, although there seemed to
be a decided majority in favor of quit
ting.
Joseph sought to compromise by Of
fering a motion to adjourn at 5:45 D.
m. until D. m. Monday. Others shout
ed their views, but finally a motion by
Kuchler to adjourn until 7:30 p. m. car
ried.
During the controversy. Speaker Hull
said that he did not desire to thwart
the house if IL desired adjournment.
but he believed the members would
place themselves in a more creditable
position by voting to transact some of
the business before them He thought
that there had been public comment in
this regard.
This impelled Joseph to rise with a
declaration that this Legislature is
working harder than any before in the
history of the state.

stock Of the Geyser-Marion Gold Min

Subsequently Osborn demanded pos

Boutwell, refused to give up the stock
1t was further alleged that dividends

July 81, 1897. Osborn asked that he be
given judgment for this amount with
interest from the last named date.
Basis For the Legal Action.
The supreme courts summary of the
proceeding says that the action was
brought by Ciisborn to recover SO. $50
from Boutwell,, that Boutwell, received

is TOO deaf and too dumb to receive an

The old law provided for the taking
OF census in July, and several MEM
changing of the time to October.
Among these was Stookey, who urged
that IL the bill We're passed some of the
small school districts would be so bad
Iy crippled that they would have to
suspend business. Children living in
these districts were sent by their par
ents 70 larger districts, especially to
Salt Lake, to be educated, and if the
census were taken in October they
would be away from home and couldn't
be counted in the districts in which
they lived. But if taken in July, as
now, they would be counted.
Roberts and others contended that
the school money should follow the
children. If they went outside of the
districts in which they lived they
should be counted in the districts where
they We're attending school, and not in
the districts in which their homes were
located. Mr.. Roberts moved the pre-

laws of 1859, providing for the manner
OF locating and recording quartz and

The principal amendment TO the law.
as defined in the bill. provides that

ton after a period of ninety days from

Der of claims in group and hold them
