Slightly last night in MantelPs pro-

The combination of melancholy,
horror and savage purpose blend

ever, ruled the stars every action.
For the period of the play he is
Hamlet. A weakness may have
been the comparatively infre,

Some Of the Pictures.
AS wide variety is shown in the treat
ment Of the subjects as there Is in their
initial choice, and herein the personality
of the photographs has sway. MIR. r.. g.
Miner exhibits a number OF gum bichro.
mate prints which are as reticent as red
chalk drawings and no less artistic: Mr.
F. Lamson Scribner shows outdoor pic
lures treated with the utmost breadth
and simplicity, and Mr.. T. L. Meade
jr.. contributes a series as subtle and
significant as japanese prints or skillful
water colors. There are less foggy pic
lures than usual this year, less evident
fumbling for effect in veil of uncer-
tainty.
The pictures have been arranged in
groups according to their authors and
numbered consecutively. so they can be
conveniently studied and readily identi-
fed. The two largest groups are COM
posed of the works of Eva G. Rolfe and
E. L. Crandall, each OF whom contributes
sixteen prints. but T. l.. Meade. jr.. shows
no less than fifteen pictures. and a num-
Der of others follow with ten. nine and
eight to their credit. Miss Rolfe's are
chiefly child portraits, some Of which are
exceedingly charming; Mr.. Crandall's are
for the most part landscapes, whereas
Mr.. Meade's are both city and suburban
pictures
Referring more definitely to the two lat
ter groups, attention may be called to the
excellent composition Of Mr. Crandair S

HITS THE PRESIDENT
BEALL OF TEXAS SAYS CRISP
THINGS ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE

Represent alive Beall OF Texas said some
mighty crisp things during the course of
fis speech in the House yesterday after
noon. He was rather hard on the Presi
dent whom he damned with JOY and
unotion. winding up his comments on the
chief executive In this fashion:
''He Is tho wielder of the big stick.
When he gets into action his enemies are
in danger and his friends in peril.
He is ambidex;rous. He Yields the
sword and the pen, creating equal havoc
with both.
He is both bronco buster and a trust
buster. the difference being that when he
breaks a bronco he blindfoids the horse.
and when he starts to bust a trust he
blindfolds himself
He is great hunter. He can draw
the finest bead upon a .bobcat.' but can't
ge, a good sight on the Constitution.
He is progressive. For years he chased
the bears alone: now he chases both
bulls and bears.
He can see g war cloud i'll clear
.eaNen before breakfast, but becomes
color blind by lunch time.
In the south he has more admirers
than supporters. in the north. more sup.
por,erS than admirers.
He is a magician. He can transform
Uncle Joe from n roaring lion in the
House To a purring kitten in the White
House.
He is considerate. He permits the SD
preme Court to Construe a part of the law

MR.. PEABODY, A STUDY.

must have been at hand in order to be Sc
lected
Another custom of the Camera Club
which is worthy of emulation is that of
having the photographs submitted I'M
framed, so that would need
only go to the expense OF framing those
which have been accepted. How many
heartacheS and melancholy purses this
would save the painters If in their exhibit
tons ii were likewise practicable. The
mating and framing moreover Is we'll and
tastefully done being in almost every in
stance appropriate and unobtrusive. These
are. of course. small matters. but they
initiate greatly toward effectiveness and
success.
AS usual. landscapes predominate and
form the chief feature of the exhibition.
which in itself is token of development.
Man IS most interested in man, and only
through advanced civilization does he
turn regardfully to nature. With the
average individual the experience is the
same as with the race-the genre, the
portrait. and lastly the landscape is ap-
preciated. Indeed, reviewing the history
of the art of painting it is found that
pure landscape is in itself a discovery of
the later centuries.
And the landscapes which are assem-
bled here are not merely views Of pic
tureSque country. but compositions which
have more than common Significance
either those with rugged strength or win
some charm-pictures which manifest the
broad truths and the little lovelinesses'
of nature. Cloud effects play a potent
part in many, and the illusion of light
has been more than once admirably tran
scribed. Some prosaic iconOclasts may
insist upon informing the bystander that
the most pleasing of the moonlight scenes
really represent the setting sun, and that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-03-27

BOSTON, March 27.-Cotton mill OFF,
Gals here hold out little encouragement
that the wage scale prevailing before the

covery Of business.
1t Is assumed that when business re-
wives all branches will proceed on scale
proportioned to the new conditions. Prices
for goods and for raw material are al
ready in many lines much lower and the
average price of commodities has sagged
sharply, reducing the cost OF living. wages

look for any strikes as the result OF the
present reduction Of wages. although with

mill much less than the operatives.

POTTSVI.LE. Pa, March H.-Orders
have been issued by the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company for
the resumption of the flfty-five collieries
and washeries of the company on April !,
