- -R, MESSER took as the subject
~ of his art Talk at the Cor
NH coran School, Monday after
noon. the two special exhibit
tons now in progress in the
Corcoran Gallery, the one of paintings
and pastels by Childe Hassam and the
other of paintings by Jonas Lie. he
pointed out the fact that these two men
stand for definite. movements IN art ana
possess unusual individuality. Chiioe
Hassam is the exponent Of so-called I'M
observation-disclosures Lie one of the young
err men who are striving to lead art
through simplifcation into new channels
Mr.. Messer spoke impartially of the
merit and charm to be found In the work
of each, and while neither. he said, saw
things precisely as he saw them, or en-
tirely satisfied him in their interpreta-
lions, yet both displayed so much that
was admirable. so much that was worth
pausing and considering, that he was
grateful and appreciative. He warned his
students, however, that the temptation
might be great to initiate these painters
in their own work and that they must
not confuse method with result When
ever q strong man appeared In the field
Of art he always directly had weak fmta-
tors, Mr. Messer said. recalling the fol-
lowers of Monet, of Corot. of Whistler.
1t is largely a matter of seeing with one
own eyes or the eyes of another, he de-
clared-of open-mindedness and strength
Of conviction. To paint the moral Mr..
Messer read some little verses entitled
..The Calf Path" written by Walter Foss.
which, in amusing manner, gave the his
tory Of the development Of one of Bos-
tons streets from the time the path was
first trod by a ''wobblety calf until 1t be-
came a great thoroughfare. The conclu-
sion is as follows:
"A moral lesson this might teach
Were I ordained and called TO preach,
For men are prone to go 1t bind
Along the calf-paths of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done.
They follow in the beaten track
And ont and in, and forth and back.

other hand, one may find many thousands
of farmers who started in life at that
time with q farm worth more than 5000.
and whose total wealth, including the net

their children during their minority, does
not exceed 500 v0 or $4,000.
The average wealth OF the American

farmer who has followed his vocation Tor

made into the actual amount of income
necessary to insure a proper and decent
living condition for a working man and
his family in New York city. In fact. a
number Of Independent Inquiries were
made and the average of them was taken
The result of this examination showed
that it would cost not less than $3.50 a
year for the average working man to
maintain an average family in proper
surroundings in New York city, and that
approximately one-fifth of this would
have to be paid out for rent.

High Rental Burden
Shown by Investigation

is shown by an investigation conducted
in Boston. The accounts of 797 stores
were examined. and the fact was revealed
that there We're nearly $1,000 uncollecta-
BILE accounts outstanding. Almost with
out exception these debts were owed by
people who were absolutely unable to
pay.
From this it appears that fully per
cent of the Boston people have been
unable to meet the rising cost of living
The conclusion of the investigators was
that 1T would not be fair to presume
that these accounts represented a will
fui living beyond the means o fthose who
made them, but that on the other hand,
they indicated, for the most part, the
INABILITY of the people to make their
income meet their necessary outgo.
Realty values in the United States
have increased with remarkable rapid
lty. The census bureau of 1900 placed
the total value of all real estate in the
United States at $50 900 900 900. If the
enhancement from 1904 to 1912 has been
proportionately as large as that from
1900 to 1904 the realty values Of the
country today approximate $4,000, OOO,-
600. Realty values in New Yorh city
increased nearly a billion dollars in a
single two-year period. The worlds
record price for real estate is 81 per
square inch. a price which was paid
for a plot of ground in Wall street.

realty values from the statement that

GOOD PLACER CLAIM.

Denver, July 16.-It is not gener-

best placer mining districts located
in Colorado anywhere to be found IN
western states, but the fact remains
that this statement is true, and there
is now being formed In Denver a
company composed of financial men
to, develop the property.
For some time plans have been
maturing for the WORK OF develop
ment. A. E. Baldwin, who has had
many years experience in various
mining districts of Colorado and who
was formerly connected with the
Moffat Road engineering department.
is at the head of the proposed COM
pany. He has induced several mon
eyed men to invest in proposition.
Placer mines of richness have been
discovered in the western part OF
Routt county about 100 miles from
Steamboat Springs. Something like
- cents are realized from a yard
of cubic ground. When it is known
Californians consider returns o.
from to l 5 cents per cubic yard as
valuable, there is no question of the
value of the Routt county property

FOUND ON PETITIONS

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. July 17.-Daily Secretary
of State Pearce is discovering fraud
ulent names on the 33 petitions filed
with him for initiation and reference
to vote of the people at the fan
election. The names appear by the
hundreds and were principally Sc
cured in Denver. Very few irregu-
larities have been detected on the
petitions that came in from other
sections of the state. The frauds
perpetrated were NANNY in Denver
where brokerage firms took the con-
tract to secure names at so much per
hundred. In many instances as much
as 10 cents a name was paid, but the
general price was cents.
The attorney general has not yer
replied to the request of the secretary
of state for an opinion as to what Is
necessary to be done in the premises
Until the opinion has been received
it is not known just what steps are
to be taken about the petitions.
