friends and revelers stayed at the house
to get in a happier mood for the recep-

from the little church Zipoy rushed out
of the house and began firing his re-
volver in salute. The bullets flew in

NOTABLE PICTURE
On Exhibition at Picture Department
Fourth Floor. Donaldson's Glas

+
"The Blacksmith" the famous
exhibition at Donaldson's s Glass Block,
has been viewed by scores Of interested
men and women since morning.
The painting is one Of the treasures
Of art. The artist died ten years ago,
and his greatest legacy to art was this
masterpiece in drawing and color and
poetic cenception: The work is owned
and is valued at $4,000. The sum
seems at first startling, but one who
has seen the marvellous picture is easily
convinced Of its rarity and its distin-
guished place in the art world. The
hand which drew and colored and the
mind which conceived "The Black
smith were endowed with genius. At
first the picture appeals because Of its
wonderful realism, the settling Of the
toil-eumbered shop, with the irons scat,
tered about. the anvil in the center and
the forge glowing hotly. Then is one
struck with the fine drawing in the face
of the blacksmith, the earnestness Of
his expression and the dignity Of his
attitude, notwithstandi his labor. Toll
seems to have stamped his brow with
nobility and choice and treatment Of
the subject impresses one as tribute
to the beauty Of drudgery. The arms
muscles and cords not only perfectly
drawn, but seeming to express the most
subtle meaning of labor.
But the most marvellous effect the
artist has obtained in his picture is in
the natural and artificial lights. The
sunlight streams in behind the worker
in dazzling richness, lifting the shadows
from the anvil, and the pile Of horse
shoes in corner and the heavy chains
lying about. AS the blacksmith bends
are illumined with the firelight from
the forge Thus has the artist chosen
battling combination Of lights and
treated them with the utmost boldness
and success.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
to view this wonderful masterpiece.

FATAL ACCIDENT
Young Man Dragged tODcath
in d Runaway.

The Vundalia Lender cuntaiued
the following account last week:
Brice, aged T., son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Luke Kirtley, met death
about noon Wednesday in II dis
tressing manner, He had been
blowing and was arranging to go
to the house for dinner. The horses
had been uuhitched from the plow
and he mounted one when the an
imal became frightened and ran
away. He was thrown off and Ills
feet became entangled in the har-
ness and he was dragged for some
distance. When found both legs
were broken aud there were many
bruises on the body He lived only
a few minutes after the accident
The accident is uiE the more dis
tressiug because the household was
in preparation for a wedding. A
sister, Miss Orpha Kirtley, was to
have been married that evening to
James Gore.
Much sympathy is exposed for
