AN ARTISTS RECOGNITION.

stechen Has Helped to Give lndivtd-
uaI Photographic Print Unique Place.
While waiting for recognition,
Steichen had established himself in
little room at 291 Fifth avenue. which
is now one OF the galleries of the
''Photo-Secession," says February
Century. The turn Of his fortune
came with the sale of two or three
of his oil paintings, and a little later
with an exhibition at the Glaenzer
galleries on Fifth avenue, which prov
ed an artistic success, and brought
him to the notice of a very discern
ing class of picture-lovers.
The following year he gave two ex-
hibitions-one of his paintings and
another of his prints. or the former,
seventeen out of twenty-five found
purchasers, and Of the latter some so
per cent of the total exhibits. The
price paid for the individual prints
varied from $50 to $3.50, which, con-
sidering the number that were sold.
represented the largest amount yet
paid for Photographic pictures But
people had begun to regard them in
the spirit Of the connoisseur, estimat-
ing them on their own merits, accord

pacity to satisfy the esthetic sense.

photographs that are turned out me-

learned to scrutinize the individual

A TREE ON A TOWER.

Il Is the Last 81 a Grove of Four on
the Same Perch.
A tree growing on the top of the no.
foot tower of the court house at
Greensburg, Ind, is curiosity which
is said by writer In st. Nicholas to
have no duplicate in the world.
There We're formerly four trees. but
when the court house was re,noaele,l
IN 1887 the largest tree, then about
fifteen feet high, was removed. as its
size was thought to render the tower
unsafe
Two others on the South side per-
ished from the intense heat. The tree
left Is found at the northwest corner
Of the tower. where the reflection of
the heat OF the tower is not so intense
as at the point whore the two others
died.
AS there is a grove OF soft naples
growing in the court house yard, the
grove on the tower is supposed to
have been started by the wind blowing
the winged maple seeds into the crew
ices where, catching root In the sedf-
ments of drst and watered by the
rain, they sprouted.
The trees were arst noticed sprout-
ing more than thirty years ago.
A recent examination Of the tower

ing and growth Of the roots. This
tree is about fifteen feet In height and
three inches in diameter. 1t was found

The scarlet fever situation appears

threatened epidemic has been nipped
in the bud. Yesterday passed with
no new cases reported to the authof1-
ties and as this is the second day with
out new case and some of those
cases first reported are already well,
it is felt that the danger is past.
DR.. Hagan yesterday received a
letter from Dr. Edward S. Godfrey,
of the public health,
making inquiries regarding the fever
here and asking if it could be attrib-
uted to the milk supply. DR.. Godfrey
went on to state that new measures
looking to the protection of the public
health would come up before the
coming legislature, and stated that ne
believed that locaf boards of health
should contain a few more doctor
and one or two less lawyers. Whether
a bill to this effect will be introduc-
ed before the coming legislature Was
not stated, but it is inferred that H.

Dr. Hagan stated that the spread of
the fever here could not be attributed

the result of failure to recognize the

there to make a personal inspection,
grows warmer each day. A letter was
published yesterday which severely

pie in return for wild jungle land of
doubtful value.
II did not want to get into a con
troyersy with these people" said Mr..
Buford, But now that they have at
tackled me I want to tell the people
of Bisbee the truth about the whole
matter.
Il had been attracted by the glow
ing tales of the land agents. They
told us that the land would grow every
thing-that it was a delightful place
10 hve--that just about all that stood
between the poor working man of
Bisbee and a fortune was the price of
a few of the wonderfully productive
acres in Oaxaca, on the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec. 1t was the promised
land-the haven from toll and care
the place where fortunes grew wild on
rubber trees and all you had to do was
to pluck them. It seems now like a
wild fantastic dream, the realistic part
of which is that I am out s65 from my
own pocket for ticket to the land of
Oaxaca, Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Il
cost me this much and more, and
when / had to stand up all night in
this land of promise TO keep from be-
ing stung by myriad of poisonous
ants that swarmed the palace" where
we stayed, was awakened.
Honestly and earnestly, now say
