Engagements.

Two OF the youngest musicians the re-
cent season brought before the public,
Katherine McNeaI and Mildred KolD,
have already been booked for concert
engagements in New York next season.
Both girls are under sixteen years OF
age. and were presented in recitsls un-
ger the auspices of Nine. Won Unschuld
last season. They have remarkable tai
ent, and aroused great interest among
music lovers who heard them play.
Miss McNeal and Miss Kolb went to
New York last week to play for promi-
nent people In that city. At first there
was some reluctance upon the part OF
these musicians to hear them because
of their youth. but the recitals were
finally given. and resulted In immedi-
ate engagements for the young musi-
clans.

PICTURES SHOWN
BY CAMERA CLUB
Pittsburg Photographic Ex-
hibition Contains Some
Notable Subjec+S.

In the series of small exhibitions OF
photographs which has been main
tanned by the Capital Camera Club dur
ing the present season. there are two
exhibitions which are prominently con
spicuous among the selected work Of the
interchange composed Of leading pho
tographic societies Of the country.
These two exhibitions are those Of the
PictoriaIists of Buffalo, exhibited earlier
in the season, and the exhibition Of the
Photographic Section OF the Academy Of
Science and Art of Pittsburg, now on
exhibition at the club rooms in r street.
The pictOrialists OF Pittsburg are
prominent by the thorough independence
Of their work. for they have chosen
a large variety OF subjects. and have
handled them not only with remarkable
skill but with marked artistic feeling.
1ale Buffalo organization was conspicu-
Gus for the temperamental quality Of
the exhibited work The Pittsburg So
ciety IS notable for its perCeptive abil-
ity and that wise recognition of the
fact that all nature Is beautiful II
viewed with the art feeling which lifts
commonplace subjects into the realm Of
the beautiful and imaginative. They
have chosen subjects near at hand. and
the opportunity is abundant, for the

Evening on Portage Lake" by II.
II. ArbOgast is a well arranged study
in which two figures have been intro

figures are evidently admiTing the rare
atmospheric qualities seen In the dis
lance as the departure OF day clothes

steam Of the mills in a pictorial quality
which IN color would be most attrac-
tive. The same artist exhibits a sue

which the light has been skiIIfuuy man
aged. and the chemical manipulation
shows the careful judgment with which
this study has been treated.
The Iron City" by r. l.. Bruce is
one Of the clever pictures of this eX-
hibit; clever in that the artist has not
only shown an artistic selection o.
Arrangement. but has also evidenced TIE
possibilities of the pictorial features %
material which many would have passed
without a glance. In our Alley the
same artist has failed in mis- arrange
ment OF line and space, and the pic
ture suffers from the too exact dlstribu-
ton Of the two sides OF the street and
one failure TO recognize that different
point Of view would have eliminated
undressing objects

The Waxs of the Loan Shark.

Gone hears much about the para
sites of the rich who live by the pos
session of some secret thru which they
extort' blackmail," says Baxter Ware
in the current Harper's Weekly, "but
,thereiis parasite of the poor of more
sinister aspect: the money-lender who
takes q mortgage upon the salary of
the cleak or poorly paid employee in
difficulties
'In almost every town in the United
States there is loan sharks office,
and they are especially numerous in
railroad towns where the colored pop
ulation is an element. In town of
10000 inhabitants there will be not
less than five offices, and in towns Of
1000 to 100000 inhabitants there will
be fifty to sixty offices. None of these
offices can be run at an expense Of
less than $3.50 per month. and the
profit is anywhere from $50 to $4,000
per month. A certain shark in one of
the large cities loans $4,000 a month,
and makes clear profit Of 5000 per
month; another loans $4,000, and clears
$500; another loans $500, and clears
S4O0. SO it is not far wrong to esti-
mate the average monthly profit of
each office at 5000; and in a city Of
100000 population, with about twenty
offices in operation, that would mean
that some $4,000 accrues to the shark
each month as profit, or $4,000
year."

New York. Aug. 11.-That the rank
and file of New York republicans will
dictate whether Charles E. Hughes
will be re-nominated for governor was
the substance of a statement made by
State Chairman Timothy L.. Woodruff,
who returned today from the Adiron-
dacks Mr. Woodruff said:
I'VE have been trying to find out the
real sentiment of the rank and file OF
the republican party of New York In
choice for a candidate for governor.
and we are still seeking what the SEN
timent may reveal. The organization
has every confidence in the rank and
file of the republican party of this
state to act wisely In the matter, and
we see no reason to think that the
body of republicans should not likewise
have confidence in the organization.
We shall be guided by what the party
wants in this matter"
Chairman Woodruff announced that
the temporary chairman of the state
convention will be either Elihu Root or
Joseph H. Choate, both of whom have
signified their willingness to serve In
that capacity. Whoever Is made tenn
porary chairman Of the two, the other
will be selected as permanent chair
man. The date of the convention will

Reieeted Lovers Take Revenge.

Allentown, Pa, Aug 11.-Harvey
Bittenbender, Harvey Wieand, William
Bittenbender, and Elmer Keller, each
about is years old, were arrested yes
terday in East Macungie on a charge
of having soused a young girl with
water as she lay In slumber in her
home. Disappointment in love is CIV
en- as the cause.
It is stated that successfully the
four Lotharios went down on their
knees to the maiden to plead and arose
to cheat it, BY chance each learned
of the Others woe, and they deter
mined on revenge.
J. G. Wasser, merchant, alleges
that the youths climbed the grape ar
Dor at his home last Thursday night,
and with potato sprays sprinkled wa
ter over Miss Emma Wasser, his
daughter, while she was sleeping in
her bed. On another evening, they are
said to have attached string and
weight to her window and frightened
her by means of their ''tictac" game.
