The engagement of Miss Eleanor
Estin Jones and Robert Hind was for
maIly announced for the first time
Monday last, at a tea given by Miss
several years an engagement had been
suspected, but it was not until Mon
day that the fact was made known.
At the same time the date for the
wedding was given. It will take place
in st. Pauls Episcopal church in San
Rafael February r. After a week s
honeymoon the young people will re-
turn to San Rafael and a large recep-
ton VIII he given them. The next day
they sail for Honolulu, where Mr.. Hind
has accepted a business position for
two years. 1t was because of this bus
'iness prospect that the plans of the
two were so suddenly made known,
and the news has taken the younger
set of san Rafael entirely by surprise.
Miss Jones is a daughter of a proni-
nent San Rafael family and has
scarcely finished her school days. She
would have been formally introduced
to society in another year had her en-
gagement not interrupted the original
plans. Her father was @at one time
district attorney Of New York. The
Jones home is one of the handsomest

the well-known Honolulu sugar broker
and graduate of Stanford.-s. L.

With -he aid OF many excellent stere-
opticon pictures. DR.. Arthur w. Dow,
professor of fine arts in the Teachers
College, Columbia University. New
York, discussed and explained The
Principles of Art in Architecture,
Sculpture and Painting" before a criti-
cal audience in the Jefferson Hotel au-
ditorium last night.
In celebrating the principle that
every work of art is creation of har-
mony, DR.. Dow said that lines had TO
be perfectly drawn. For instance he
displayed pictures of the stone hedges
OF ancient times, transformed later into
the Temple of Egypt, which embodied
the same idea with more perfection.
A further step in the transition is the
Parthenon, which DR.. Dow declared Is
the finest thing the human hand has
ever made or the human mind has ever
conceived.
Its mysterious beauty has impressed
the world, and. as the speaker said.

stick which could be applied to 1t, he
declared. is the sense of appreciation.
DR.. Dow referred to the picture OF
THE Resurrection" with the soldiers
lolling in front and the divine figure
ficent of all works He showed other
pictures in which the central and SUBJ
ordinate groups were symmetrical,
saying that the lines, like the old stone
hedges. We're perfectly drawn.
The lecture was under the auspices
Dr.. Dow was introduced by Admiral
Webster.

grief. He could do nothing Street car

COMMITTEE REFUSES
TO LET NEGROES IN
MANY THRILLS IN
MEETING TONIGHT
Republicans Will Indorse Taft,
Ignore Negroes and Brownsville,
and Denounce Rhea.

Though all the differences heretofore
existing in the white element of the
party have been amicably settled, the
ss-meeting of local Republicans at
Belvidere Hall tonight to elect dele
gates to the district and State conven-
tons promises to be stormy and eX-
citing ut times.
For this prediction there are two
reasons. One is that Senator John c.
Noel, of Lee, and other speakers will
sharply attack the action of the Legis-
lature in confirming Judge w. F.
Rhea's appointment on the State Cor
poration Commission. and the other
that the colored contingent purpose en-
tering the meeting and bringing up the
Brownsville riot matter in the interest
of Senator Foraker. of Ohio.
The Oily whites" however, who are
for Secretary Taft, will be in absolute
control, and it is not thought they will
give much quarter to the man in
black
In addition to electing delegates to
the two conventions and indorsing
Judge Taft by resolution, a new city
committee will be chosen
Chairman c. Ridgeway Moore will
call to order, and temporary organi-
cation will at once be perfected.
Negroes 70 the Front.
When the permanent organization is
completed the fun will begin and the
negroes will probably struggle for rec
ognition. The feature of the evening
VIII undoubtedly be the speeches con-
corning Judge Rhea, the principal one
being by Senator Noel. who led the
fight against his confirmation in the
Legislature. All the Republican mem-
bers of the General Assembly have
been invited and will. perhaps, be seat
ed upon the stage. Local white lead
efs contend that large number of
young men in Richmond are ready to
break away from the Democratic party
