AMERICAN ARTISTS.
Valedictory Pronounced ' Yesterday
 by John La Farge.

New York, March 23.-John La Farge pronounced yesterday the val edictory for the Society of American Artists, which amalgamates now with the National Academy of Design and Is holding its alst exhibition.
 Tt is a good exhibition" he said, "a good one to go out with. In some respects 1t is the best We ever had. The range is wider. There are more methods represented. Take for ex- ample the influence of Italy on the last group of young men who have been studying abroad. the direct in- fiuence of the old Italian masters. That was plain and noticeable in this exhibition, where two years ago the influence was all modern. American painting has broadened.
 The work of the society is done. It was needed in its time. 1t was protest of new men against conserva- tism. Now that it has grown old and somewhat conservative itself there Is room for a new group of painters to start the work all over again. l am telling that to young painters now"

RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.
What New York Justice Calls Ac-
 cepting Campaign Money From Insurance Men.

New York, March 23.-Justice O'Sullivan expressed his opinion in court to-day that the officials of life insurance companies who contributed portion of the company's funds to political campaign committees, con- mitted larceny. This opinion is di- rectly opposite to the one on the same subject which was submitted to Justice O'Sullivan by District Att torney Jerome several days ago. Re- plying to O'Sullivan, Jerome reiter- ated his opinion that the acts of the investigated insurance officials did not constitute larceny and told the court that if he persisted in his con- trary opinion, 1t was the duty of the grand jury to issue indictments against George w. Perkins, former vice president of the New York Life Insurance Go, who admitted giving contributions for campaigns, and against George B. Cortelyou, chair man, and Cornelius M. Bliss, treas- urer of the republican national com mittee, for receiving stolen goods.

BURGLARS KILLED
 NIGHT WATCHMAN
WORKING ON SAFE WHEN THEY
 WERE DISCOVERED.
Single Handed. He Attacked the Five Robbers-After an Exchange of Shots the Watchman
 Dropped Dead.

Rochester, N. r., March 23-Ed- ward Pullman, constable and night watchman at Sodus was murdered early this morning by burglars who were discovered by him while in. the act of rifiing the Knapp bank of that village. The burglars first visited the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg rail- way depot, where they blew open the large safe, stole small safe and ran sacked the express packages. They secured only small amount of mon ey. Then they went to the Knapp bank. They were drilling a hole in the safe when discovered by Pullman. Although five men were engaged in the job Constable Pullman fearlessly entered the bank and gave battle. A fusilade of shots followed during which the constable was instantly killed by a bullet passing through his right lung. After the shooting the robbers fled, leaving the drill in the safe.
 Previous to the crime they had stol- en horse and cutter from the barn of William Welburn and another horse from the barn of Willard F. Boyd. Mrs w. W. Wood, Charles Ward and A. J. Chandler of Auburn, stopping at the Snyder hotel, heard the shots and all agree that 1t was 10 minutes of ? o'clock. Mrs Wood saw five men go west on Main street directly after wards. She supposed they were boys and that they had been firing blank cartridges. When Constable Pullman did not reach his home at the usual time this morning the family became alarmed and search was made but it was not until two hours later that Charles c. Field, bank employe, found the body. The coroner was i'm mediately summoned and officers were placed on the trail of the murderers.
 The robbers, who are supposed to be yeggmen, fled to Rochester. Three times on the road they exchanged horses. They were seen to enter Rochester at 6 o'clock by Louis Waus- CT of Clifford street. The men upon reaching the city line abandoned, their rigs, separated, each man striking out for himself. Rochester detectives are on the trail. t@
 Constable Pullman was one of the most prominent citizens of Sodus. He was an utterly fearless man and 1t was this fearlessness that cost him his life. He leaves widow and three children.

Drummer Found the Ring, Insurance
 Agent Found the Owner.

John Coleman on Wednesday lost the wedding ring of his first wife, whom he married twenty-three years ago. He did not know how or where 1t got away from him, all he was aware of was that it was gone.
 This afternoon a drummer walked into McEyoy's cafe in the center and showed wedding ring which he said he had picked up on Grand street. Although the initials F. M. were in- scribed within, no one about the place had any idea who the owner was. Not long afterwards Insurance Agent Miller walked into the cafe and some one remarked:
 Here comes a fellow that knows every woman in Waterbury"
 They asked Miller if he had any idea of the person who owned the ring. Miller looked at the initials and replied quickly:
 sSurely, don't you remember Miss Elizabeth Mack who married Jack Coleman, the hackman, about twenty years agof"
 Jack will certainly he happy when he learns that his ring has been found.

SENATORIAL ASPIRANTS.
A Good Deal of Missionary Work
 Being Done on the Quiet.

A good deal of missionary work is now being done in the interest of cer- tain aspirants for the nomination for senator in the sixteenth district. The principal names mentioned are James M. Lynch and Finton J. Phe- Ian, but these are not the only ones, quite a few people putting forward the name of Commissioner Finn of the department of public works as a probable candidate. Mir Finn was asked about the matter this after noon and replied that he never gave the thing a thought, and added that for the present at least he has all the political work on hand he can spare time from his business to att tend to. While this would appear as a plain denial of any intention on the part of the commissioner to go to Hartford, still 1t was given in such way that the reporter was somewhat mistrustful as to whether the shoe dealer meant it or not; but after all it is nothing more than fair to take him at his word.
