WOMEN ARTISTS SHINE
AS MINIATURE PAINTERS
Wonderful Revival Marks This
Style of Brush Work

There is no more delightful work
for feminine fingers than the painting
of miniatures, branch of art which
later years. The women miniaturists
of >today are in a very sensible ma
jority, and yet it can scarcely be. al
legged that they carry off the highest
honors any more than they did in
Georgian days. If N reason for that
lack of seriousness with which minfa-
ture painting is regarded.
An impression prevails that the art
of miniature painting may be learned
in dozen lessons. No more erroneous
impression could get abroad Good
drawing is essential to portraiture, and
even slight errors make sad havoc
when a picture is on a small scale
More than accuracy is necessary, more
over. There must be a true apprecia-
ton of forme as well as minute at
tention to details. 1t is the casual
nature of most of the feminine minia-
ture work which is responsible for the
low estimation in which the modern
output is held.
Even in the past the number of
notable feminine miniaturists is COM
paratively small. Maria Cosway en-
joyed a reputation that threatened the
supremacy of her husband at times,
but the modern verdict upon her por-
traits places them very distinctly
lower than did her contemporaries.
Most of the women who attained repu-
tation when miniature painting was in
its greatest glory in England were
amateurs. OF them all. perhaps, Mrs.
is we'll represented in the collection
at Windsor castle, which Is by much
the finest in the country-Philadelp
Record.

GREAT SUCCESS
ATTENDS VISITOR
Cooper Converting San Fran
ciscans to His Theories
and Medicines
Trained Nurse Says She Has
Never Seen Results Equaled
by His Preparation

The sale of L. T. Cooper's prepara-
tions, now going on at The Owl Drug
Company.s store in the Phelan building,
is SURPRISING anything of the kind ever
before seen in San Francisco.
When Cooper came to this city Few
weeks ago reports of the remarkable
success of his medicines in the east
had preceded him. These reports are
now duplicated by his success In san
Francisco, as the young man Is recelv-
ing calls from an immense number Oh
people each day.
The most conspicuous feature of the
interest Cooper is arousing here is
what local people have to say who are
using the much discussed medicines
The following statement is among
those obtained recently:
Mrs. W. r. Harris, living at 2O23
Fillmore street, on Thursday afternoon
said: "rwo years ago, while l was
living in New Orleans, Mr.. Cooper
spent some time in that city introduce
ing his medicines, as he is now doing in
San Francisco. At the time I speak OF
I had suffered with stomach trouble
for 10 years and had become chronic
dyspeptic.
81 am a trained nurse by profession
and had been taught to take medicine
only when prescribed by a physician
after a diagnosis. However, l had re-
ceived treatment from many prominent
physicians without obtaining relief and
had lost faith in anything helping my
case.
"a lady whom / had nursed through
a serious illness called me up one day
and told me this Cooper medicine had
entirely relieved her of a chronic case
of gastritis and suggested that l try
it. She even said she would pay for
the medicine if 1 would take it. On her
recommendation / secured the treat
ment and was entirely well six weeks
later. have never had any trouble
with my stomach since.
MY husband has had rheumatism
and stomach trouble for some time and
l have tried to buy the same medicine
for him here in San Francisco, but
could never find it until Mr.. Cooper
arrived a month ago. l bought the
treatment at once when he came. My
husband has taken it regularly and
has now no sign of either rheumatism
or stomach troubles. In all my expe-
rience as a nurse I have never seen
such results accomplished by any medi-
cine, whether prescribed by physician
or otherwise. I believe it to be a gen
uine specific for most forms of stomach
trouble.

SANTA CRUZ. May 20.-The Eagles
state meeting is at an end after four
days of business and pleasure. Today

in a formal manner. the tree having
been informally set apart by Grand
President Theodore A. Bell and HIS as
sistant, j. S. Parry. a year ago. II has
long been a custom to dedicate big

comes to Santa Cruz.
In the Casino ballroom. appropriately
decorated, the merry Eagles and their
women friends are dancing tonight to
the music of the beach band. Enoch
Alzina of the local aerie is floor man
ager.
All hopes of the Shasta aerie of Red
ding winning the first prize of SIS and
the trophy put up by Sacramento aerie,
which they won last year, were disap-
pointed as the committee announced
that Vallejo aerie was entitled to first
honors. The Shasta degree team ap-
peared in silk hats and tuxedo coats
and they secured the second prize of
$40. Oak Park of Sacramento was
third, taking the $40 prize.
The Vallejo team was attired in
white suits with eagles embroidered in
red on their shirts and worked easily
and gracefully. Teams from this coun-
ty were barred from the competitive
drills.
The officers and local committeeman
are well pleased with the success Of
the state gathering and gratifed at the
