tanned their presence of mind, his ma
jesty sending back one Of his suite to
inquire regarding the wounded. The
person who is believed to have thrown
the bomb has been arrested, with two

implicated in the plot.
The bomb was thrown with too great
force and passed over the royal carriage
and struck the shoulder Of cuirassier

horses of the soldiers causing them to

persons--a sergeant, two policemen, a
woman, who was seriously injured, and
d child, who was struck in the eye, One
horse Of the escort was killed outright
and six others lay about manned aud
bleeding.

fic and caused arrangement Of the cleo
trio lights. which were all extinguished
adding darkness to the confusion. Wo-
was threatened until the police re-
stored order.
In the meantime the remainder OF the
escort had closed round the royal car
riage, which disappeared under the arch
way of the Louvre.
The young King was to be seen sit
ting beside the President. He was pale
but apparently calm.
The police cleared the surrounding
streets and began attending the wound
ed who were carried to nearby hotel.
ImmediateIy following the explosion,
an individual was seen 70 dash into the
crowd, but men seized him before he
could escape and turned him over to the
police. He is believed to have been the
author of the outrage.

20 Years old, having an injured eye. 1t
lis not known whether his wound was
caused by the explosion or by the vio-
lence of the crowd. He refuses to talk.

of being accomphces in the deed refuse
to give information regarding the man
believed TO be responsible for the out
rage.

WILL URGE PEACE.
Great Powers Will Very Likely Take
Action.

Washington, June 4. While the pres
idemt has discussed informally the sub
jeet Of peace negotiations with members
Of his cabinet and with some represen-
tstives Of foreign governments at this
capital, and in the near future, prob
aaIf viii take up the matter with 9TH
sfs. it can be said authoritatively that
ssip definite steps looking toward peace
xet have been taken by the govern
Nhent.
That concerted effort on the part
III several important powers, including
Hhe United States, to bring about a
nessation Of hostiIities in the Far East
Hfnay be made soon is reasonably certain.
The result of such an effort is quite
!. another matter. 1t is regarded as too
soon yet, after the great naval battle,
for Russia to determine upon definite
oourse of action. At least until the
Sc. Petersburg government shall have
Indicated what its desires may be, the
probabilities are regarded as favorable

PUBLIC SCHOOL DRAWING EXHIBIT
Open Friday Afternoon From to and
Saturday 8 to 10 and to 9.

Although the children in the public
schools have been pursuing their present
course in elementary art but two years
the work they display this week Friday
and Saturday gives hint OF what they
like to do and a promise of what they
may do later. The exhibit will be open
Friday afternoon from 2 to and Sat
Erday 9 to 12 and to 6. The primary
pupils spent from fifteen to thirty min
utes a day in various exercises that
teach for and color. Their clay model
ing, paper folding, cutting and pasting,
sewing and other elementary manual
training emphasizes each lesson in form
and color and at the same time helps
them to become neat, exact and skiIlful
with their fingers. Children like to
make things" so it secures the habit
of Joy in work and the desire TO beauti-
fly common things. They like to ex-
press their thoughts so they are allowed
to illustrate their reading lessons or
thoughts suggested by the day or season
and this helps to stimulate the artistic
imagination besides fixing in mind the
divine principals of relationship.
In the grades above the primary a
half hour period three times week is
devoted to the work. Here it includes
the representation Of form and color as
seen by the children in nature and COM
mon things, the construction of working
drawings and simple objects for play or
use, also the principles Of decoration as
set forth in historic art and applied to
everyday purposes.
Third grade children have voluntarily
made bags, silk winders, mats and other
useful articles to show how they can
make use of simple decorative designs
like tile guatrefail and Greek borders.
Fourth grade children have decorated
flower pots and made bird houses to
show how they like to care for flowers
and birds.
The fifth grade have made paper cut
ters and ratlia baskets outside Of school
to secure the habit of happy industry.
Pupils OF SIXTH seventh and eight
grades have made portfolios in which to
keep their drawings, and decorated art
texts. The seventh have also under
taken little Venetian iron from their
own drawings, and some of the eighth
rAdhS nave AJOlcU it<utI pAfSco altSE
their own designs, made color scheme
books and clipping cases from designs
developed in school but executed after
school hours.
In the ninth grade and high school
time has been 50 limited that only
studies. in composition, mechanical draw
ing, historic art and sletching from life
have resulted. A few have taken time
outside to apply their designs to useful
| lobjects, to develop their life sketches
I into posters and screens, and to illumi-
nate art texts.
A special class of volunteers has pro-
duced studies from nature and still life.
but all have been taught the principles
Of composition and how to judge d pic
ture.
The great amount of work from all
grades displayed this year II intended
| to show the friends OF the school the
many different lines Of thought and ae-
ton which course in elementary art
awakens in the children, ana it is
earnestly hoped that no parent win miss
the opportunity Of seeing Ii.
