Tip From q Sermon.

On recent Sunday Dr. Washingto Gladden. of Columbus, O., outlined in an evening sermon what he would do with a million dollars if he had It, says a Columbus dispatch. Among other projects, he said he would put about $3O0000 of it in model ten. ment houses for the use of working people, to be modern in every way and to be rented at rates that would net not more than per cent on the invest. ment. President W. F. Burdell of the State Savings and Trust company an nounced the other day that he had q wealthy client who was impressed with the suggestion and authorized the state ment that as soon as Dr. Gladden. named his trustees he would place the necessary funds at their disposal.

ART FOR AMERICA.

A National Salon and Galleries Sug.
 gestcd For Every State.
 Miss Irma Komlosy, the Hungarian flower painter, who came to Washing ton some time ago under the patronage of the Austrian ambassador and Bar oness Hengelmuller and who returned to Austria to be with her royal pupil, the Archduchess Marie Therese, was much impressed with art possibilities of the national capital, says Wash ipgt0n dispatch to the New York Trib- une While in Washington she was en- thusiastic over what she called her ..big idea" and after her arrival In Vienna she wrote of 1t to one of the many friends she made here as fol. lows:
 have a big idea-such a big idea that only the United States can hold it. It is founded on different experiences in dif- ferent lands. and I will sketch it to you in few words, which hope you will be so good as to approve. Rich people from every one of your forty-five states must put together some money-oh, a great deal of money!-to form a capital that must never be touched. Then a perma- nent art building must be erected in beau- tiful Washington, and there must be ex. hibitions every year
 Artists from all over the world must be allowed to send one painting annually free of duty. Each visitor on entering the gallery will be presented with a cata- logue free and will be expected to check off the forty-five paintings that most please and return 1t at the door. Those forty-five paintings having the greatest number of approval checks will be select- ed. one for each state.
 By this method the pictures are select ed by the public. and in the course of time each state in the Union will own It's own museum of art. The capital fund will buy those forty-ive paintings an- nually at a good price, but the bulk of the money will not be paid to the artists. but only the interest of the amount, which will be theirs for life Say the art <st is a man. The widow will receive the interest. or his children, until they are twenty years old. when the annuity will cease and revert to the capital fund
 That seems an ideal scheme, but whether it will ever be realized is quite another story. Miss komlosy's father was a well known Hungarian painter, and she has two brothers who have attained distinction in the same profession.

GATHERS EGGS IN AN AUTO
Delaware Dealer Thus Hopes to
 Avoid Loss by Brcakage.

Avoid Loss by Brcakage.
 Hunting eggs in an automobile is q new occupation for one Dover (Del.) farmer. He is H. Ridgely Harrington, who recently took his first spin in an autocar, says Dover dispatch to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. He is the agent of several New York and Phila- delphia soda water dealers and big de- partment stores in the collection for them of fresh eggs, the white egg be- ing used altogether. Tn handling such large quantities as 12,000 dozens each day MT. Harrington usually experi- ences losses because fractious horses will persist in either backing too hard, stopping too quickly or running off with a wagon load of eggs. A ma chine that will be stopped by pneu- matic action, he thinks, will facilitate the egg hunting and egg handling busi- ness.

GIRLS QUICK WIT

How Miss Florence Bidwell. Saved
 q3O,OOO to Canton's Treasury.
 The failure of the Canton (O) State bank developed heroine in the trim little person of Miss Florence Bidwell, daughter of City Treasurer Bidwell, says a special dispatch from Canton, O., to the Washington Post. Miss Bid- well saved the city of Canton $50, 900. The State bank was city depository and had $1O8O00 on deposit there the day 1t suspended. The bank opened It's doors as usual the other morning. But they were open only twenty minutes, This was enough for Miss Bidwell.
 When she reached the city treasurer's office, where she had been in charge in the absence of her father, who is i'll in hospital in Cleveland, Assistant City Treasurer Coyle, who was also em-. ployed at the bank, gave her tip over the telephone on what was going to happen.
 Miss Bidwell is only eighteen, but she showed quickness of thought and mature judgment enough for person twice her age. Quickly putting on her hat, she slipped over to the bank and asked Coyle how much cash the city could have. About all the cash in the bank was bag containing $30,000 in gold The proper check was made out, Coyle took the gold from the vault and at the girls request helped her with 1t back to the city treasurer's office. By the time Coyle reached the bank again it had been decided to suspend, and the doors were closed.

CARD CONSIDERED
LOCAL CLUB MAY MATCH
LIGHTWEIGHTS
BOTH MEN ARE WILLING
Two Classy Little scrappers VIII
Probably Don Mits in Los An
gees in Near Future-NeiI
and Tenny
BOTH MEN ARE WILLING

The next mitt argument in Los Angeles
will probably be between that division of
fighters which Jawn l.. Sullivan has re-
ferred to sightingly as the infant class. :"
Tom McCarey, the man at the helm of
the Pacific club, is endeavoring to get
Eddie Hanlon to consider a scrap with
| Aurelio Herrera but the "cute one" is
| just a trife backward in agreeing to hook
up with the shifty Mexican, who pos
sesses one of the most jarring wallops
that lightweight ever carried about
with him.
1t now remains with Hanlon's manager
whether the two will come together
within the course of the next month in
the City of the Angels, that gentleman
having declared that he Will let the local
club know definitely of his decision to-
day. McCarey is hopeful of favorable
reply, realizing that the go between the
little men would make one of the best
cards that has ever been enjoyed by local
followers of the game"
Another possible bout that is receiving
attention at the hands of the Pacific club
is return match between frankie Neil
and Harry Tenny. the two little bantams
that furnished such rafting twenty-five
round mill at San Francisco the other
night. Neil was handed the long end of
the purse in a hair line decision, his
strong work in the last five rounds of
the fight offsetting Tenny's decided lead
in the first ten rounds in the opinion of
the referee.

the slumbers OF the law abiding citi-

vIsALIA, Aug. This city was the
scene of three disastrous fires tonight,
which were accompanied by wholesale
pillage, followed by a determined ef-
fort on the part Of citizens to protect
their property by force of arms.
The fire first broke out at $3.50 o'clock
and caused the following losses:
Moffett's livery stable, entirely con-
sumed, $4,000; P. Balls building, $4,000;
worthingtons Produce store, loss 500;
Holt, tailorshop, loss 500; r. %. Ryde,
residence, loss slight.
The first fire had hardly been brought
under control when English's livery
stable, in another part of town, broke
out in flames and was soon destroyed.
Loss $4,000. Nate Levy's building was
also gutted, loss $4,000. The Holt build
ing was party burned, loss $4,000.
The fire reached the Visalia Abstract
company office and many records were
destroyed. The financial loss is $1,000.
Robinson & Weisher, photographers,
lost $1,000.
During the fire the city was for a
time in darkness, and thieves took ad-
vantage of that and the confusion to
rob many places. So daring did they
become in their work that many citi-
zens secured guns to guard property,
and delegation went out to the
country residence Of Captain Deming
of the National guard to secure the
presence of a company of militia to
preserve order.
The militia company was called out
at 11:15 o'clock tonight and a sem
blance of order was restored. The COM
pany is composed of the Sixth regiment
and Captain Deming is in command.
Shortly after 10 o'clock a third fire
was discovered in the new National
Bank building, but it was soon ex-
tinguished. The second and third fires
are believed to have been of incendi-
ary origin.
