ARTHUR P. CHENOWETH

There is on exhibition at Jones
drug store new picture by Eff
Arthur Peel Chenoweth, called
''The Hunting Season." a vigorour
in black and white of
an Indian hunter, who climbs with
realistic force into the extreme fore-
ground. One hand grasps the branch
of black pine tree, and the other
supports his rifle, while in the canyon
behind him is seen his faded horse.
Distant fir trees, rocks, and sky,
furnish the needed accessories, but
it is the keen, wary eyes of the IN
dian which fixes the attention of the
observer, and suggests the very spirit
of the chase.
Though achieved under serious
disadvantages, the work is char
acterized by careless ease and
strength which attests Mr.. Cheno-
weth's excellent training in art, had
under the special instruction of the
late Prof. Grundman of the Boston
Museum of Fine Arts, and year of
earlier works with Edward Potter,
the we'll known sculptor
AS a Boston boy, Mr.. Chenoweth
grew up surrounded by all which
that art-loving city could give of op-
portunity and while the subjects of
his pictures are of western life, those
that have been publicly shown have
been painted at his home in Massa-
chusetts.
His father, the late Colonel Bernard
Peel Chenoweth, a distinguished Of
ficer in the civil war, fell martyr in
the cause of his country.
We have recently seen letter
from General o. S. Grant, ADDRESSED
to Mrs. Chenoweth, in which the
great general refers to Colonel
Chenoweth as a valued member of
his staff. He earlier served in a regi-
ment with his comrade Captain Moor
house, our esteemed fellow citizen:
Mrs. Moorhouse and Mrs. Cheno-
weth also being friends of long ago.
Colonel Chenoweth died while U.
S. Consul at Canton, China, and his
widow who had invariably served as
vice consul during his necessary alb
sence in search of health, was formal
~ recognized by the United States
government as vice consul in the
hnal discharge of the affairs of his
office.
The consulate at Canton embraces
judiciary powers, and once while at
a distance, Colonel Chenoweth order
ed his wife to hold court as his
representative, and dispose of an i'm
portant case according to her own
best Judgment Mrs. Chenoweth has
enjoyed the advantages of a college
and has the degree of A. |
NJ. She has been a professor of Eng
fish literature in an eastern college. |
IS the author of several educational
works, and her name appears in vari-
ous biographical dictionaries, as we'll
as in that useful manual sWho's
Who in America" AS lecturer
also she is favorably known, having /
addressed among other clubs and |
societies, the Medico-Legal Society Of
New York; The Society Of Antiquity
II Massachusetts,; The Grand Army
II the Republic: The Daughters of
he American Revolution, and Wo-
mems Clubs too numerous to men
ton.. She has founded several chan
ers in the Daughters of the Ameri-
an Revolution, and was State His
or1an for Massachusetts, of this

ide her son, her only living child.
