each year of the work OF one naiDter
Winslow Homer. Sir Alfred East and
Childe Hassam have thus been honored.
This year the distinction has been ac-
corded to J. Alden Weir thirty-seven of
whose paintings occupy the first gallery,
from which opens the great exhibition.
Mi. Neir's paintings are low-toned sub
tie and reserver. Neither by richness of
color, beauty of composition or subject
matter do they claim attention, and vet
despite the absence Of these elements OF
popularity the visitor Is bound To return
again and again, with increasing delight
and interest, to the gallery in which the
Weir collection is set forth In their
reticence, beautiful color relations. ad-
Justment of values and sincere. strong
feeling they make lasting appeal, dis
closing their beauty gradually tn the OH
server and holding a reward in reserve
for those who linger. There are in the
collection both figure and landscape
paintings, and in time of production a
period OF a considerable number of years
is covered. Among the paintings lent for
this exhibition is The GentleWomen =

Occupy Six Galleries.

These pictures are set forth IN six gal
leries, specially designed for the pur-
pose. on the top floor of the institute
which houses. beneath one roof. an art
and natural history museum, a library
and splendid auditorium, In which is
an extraordinarily fine organ used for
great public recitals. In the stair hall
of the wing in which are the picture
galleries are John W. Alexanders great
mural paintings, representing the spirit
of Pittsburg, The Industries" and The
People the largest commission, it is
said. that has ever been given to a
single painter in this country, and one
most Worthily fulfilled.
Two of the picture galleries are very
large. and in them the ma or portion of
the exhibition is shown. In them this
year the pictures are hung In a single
line. whereas in the smaller galleries two
rows prevail. This is in accordance
with present fashion, but in the great
galleries il initiates against effect and
gives an impression of the pictures be-
ing ION parade" To have the order re-
versed some time would be an interest

In the days of the first C. A. c. tho

man G. l.. Carran. There were manv
boxing schools, and the ambition of
many a young man was to be a second
Sullivan, a Mccoy or a Corbett. One
boy in whom | was much interested
had an idea that he could fight, and
one night he invited me down to the
c A. c. to see him in action.
AS the boy went into the ring he
bockoned the referee over to his corner
and asked him to make an announce
ment. The referee was willing, and
said:
Mr.. Black asks me to say tnat this
is his first appearance in the ring.
in about seven seconds my boy
friend was lying fat on his back with
small chance Of getting on his feet for
an hour or two. He was badly hurt
but his mind was clear. RE
whispered something to the referee
and this official stopped the count.
Mr.. Black wishes to supplement
his announcement of a few secon<ss
ago., said the referee, addressing the
crowd. This is not only his first but
absolutely his last appearance in he
ring. "-Cleyeland Leader.

4 HARH KNOCK FOR PROHIBITION

After half century of prohibition
anG hypocrisy Maine has apparently
condemned its existing anti-liquor law
and put it within the power of its state
legislature 10 amend or repeal as it
may see fit
Maine was the first state, in all like
lihOod, 70 write prohibition into its
orggnie Law 1t has been there for
two generations. Prohibitionists have
pointed with pride to Maine, and the
ants have also pointed to Maine with
contempt as an evidence of the decep-
ton, lying and law avoidance that,
they have always claimed, marked pro-
hibiticn-
The Democratic party won the last
state fight in Maine largely on the
promise that the question would be
submitted to the people again. 1t was
. clean cut fight, not beclouded by any
exrraneUuB issues. 1t was simply q
question 10 whether the majority II
the people wanted TO retain prohibition
in the state constitution or put it with
in the power of the Legislature to pass
lxws regulating or prohibiting the LID
uor traffic, as it might deem wisest
Ex-Gov- Glenn, of North Carolina,
Congressman Hobson, of Alabama,
and other big guns on the prohibition
side were impressed and toured the
state. The ants also enlisted strong
speakers and the OratOrical contest
Chat preceded the fight at the polls
was never without life. Every side OF
the case wHs undoubtedly presented to
the state as whole and the jury has
spoken against the old system
, Other states have tried prohibition
in The past and abandoned it after
some years As an effectual controil-
ing agent prohibition does not seem TO
be a sue ess anywhere. In Georgia it
certainly mas not been. If it were
succeeded by high license system,
the limiting of the number of places
where liquor can be sold, strict laws
ard rigT1 enforcement of them, it IS
probable that the evils flowing from the
use Of inroxicantS would be less than
under the So-calIed dry" system.
There Us no doubt that the anti-pro-
tiIbiuOnisGS In Georgia. and, in fact, in
every state will be encouraged by the
result in Maine to redouble their If
f0rE5. RI is not Improbable that it will
give big boost to the candidacy of
Dick" Russell in Georgia If Georgia
should also repudiate prohibition by
the election of Russell the end of the
prohibition wave has been reached and
the reaction that has been in evidence
die past rw0 years would speedily wipe
out the last vestige of prohibition. in
the reaction 1t is to be hoped there will
BE- nO return 70 the old system of I'M
limited saloons and lax regulation.
THAT IS one evil the country ought nev-
or 10 tolerate again.

REGISTER EARLY And
AVOID The GREAT Rush
School Attendance Has Smash
ed Records Already

vita TIE Indications manifest at this
time that it will be very difficult in
deed to accommodate all the pupils
who will enter the public schools this
fall, Superintendent A. C. Miller makes
the special request of all the patrons
of the school that they endeavor to
assist the school management by
having each pupil who holds a regu-
lar promotion card to place them in
the hands of the school officials this
week, in order that these may be reg
istered and avoid the rush that will
otherwise be experienced on the first
days of school next week.
The growth of the schools under the
present efficient management was new
el better shown by any other indica-
ton than that afforded by the over
flow attendance that has already been
made manifest before the session op-
ems. Up to date 626 pupils have been
enrolled which is far ahead of the
attendance as shown by similar fig
ures for last year. With several DAYS
more ahead before the opening of the
schools next Monday, the attendance
bids fair to eclipse all records in ev-
cry department. Most of the teach
ers will arrive in the city this week,
that is, those who come from a dis
lance, so that they will be ready for
the opening of school on Monday.
