1.-THE Shadow Of the Cross"
(Kansas City Starr


One Of the most remarkable exhib-
it's on the Midway at the Carnival is
the great painting, I'm the Shadow of
the Cross the unfinished and unex-
planned miracle painting, by Henry
Hammond ALL, and known as the pict-
ure marvel of the age.
The canvas On which the picture is
painted measures 4x7 feet.
In ordinary light there is seen life
clad in the homely garb Of poor Gal
ilean, one hand resting across His
breast, the other hanging by his side.
Of all the famous pictures of the Sa-
viour perhaps none other so conveys
the clearness of His realization, the
pathos of His resignation. One In
stinctively feels that here is the
Christian with His embracing love,
His sweet gentleness and He brings In
nearer touch than ever before the
peace vouchsafed to all mankind who
follow Him.
In order that the strange phenome-
non connected with this picture may
be seen, it is exhibited in a gallery
from which all daylight is excluded,
thus allowing the lights to be turned
off and the picture viewed in utter
darkness.
Seen in the dark, the figure Of
Christ appears as if walking in pale
moonlight, an effect of light which no
human hand could paint; and now one
feels himself in the presence of the
man as he was in the Garden of Geth-
semena. Above and behind the figure
is a dark cross, which seems to hover
over him, and this is what first sug-
gested the name I'm the Shadow of
the Cross
To many, after looking at the pict-
ure in the darkness for few moments
the figure appears to move and
breathe
No attempt is made to account for
the singular phenomenon seen in con-
nection with the picture, but simply
YOU are invited to call, to investigate
freely, and to draw your own conclu-
sions.
That there may be no doubt as to
the genuineness of the painting and
that no artificial effects are used to
produce the strange and unaccountable
phenomenon, the picture is so placed
that visitors may freely pass in front
or behind the canvas and satisfy them
selves.
An eminent clergyman in Washing
ton says: "This picture is the most
wonderful thing I have ever seen,
either marvellous, miraculous, or acct
dental. and will do more to attract at
IGNITION to the character Of Christ than
anv occurrence of modern times
small admission fee is charged for
the purpose of defraying expenses of
the exhibition. At the Ferrari Hall,
9a1-2 Main street, all next week.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED
AT LAST NIGHTS
SCHOOL MEETING

Whereas, The condition of affairs In
the public schools of Los Angeles at the
present time would be a reproach and
reflection on our progressive city were
it not that the influence and motives re-
sponSible for the same are SO well
understOodj and
whereas, Public schools properly
equipped and sufficient In number must
Immediately be provided for all the
children of the community; and
whereas, The board of education and
the superintendent of schools have Ia
bored to the best of their ability 60 take
care of the situation, difficult nt best
on account of the phenomenal growth OF
our city. but rendered unnecessarily
complicated by the attacks which have
been made through personal spite and
enmity and for ulteriOr motives;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that we,
men and women of Los Angeles, present
at mass meeting held under the aus
pices of tho City club of Los Angeles, do
condemn In the most vigorous terms
every interference with the work of the
school department.; that we call upon
the people of Los Angeles to see to 1t
that they are freed from attack, and
supplied with money sufficient to carry
on their work, and that the agencies re-
sponslble for the existing conditions be
made to feel the full force Of well-de-
served public censure; and
Be 1t further resolved, that We conn
mend the Les Angeles Herald, the Ex-
press and the Examiner for their hearty
championship of this cause of the peO-
pie, and we call upon all our fellow
citizens who can arrange to do so to sub
scribe for the school bonds.
We request the city officials, If pos
sible, to use such public moneys as are
available for the purpose in the sinking
fund of the Owens river aqueduct to the
same end; and
We request the state board OF exami-
ners to invest In these bonds as much
of the state money as they may feel
warranted in doing.
