MORGAN ART
TREASURES COST
S6O,OOO,OOO
Still SEARCHING FOR MORE
Son Will Continue to Add to
Collection

New York, Jan. 17.-With the cas-
ual report that J. Pierpont Morgan
paid 100000 instead of $1,O0O,0O0,
for the Hoentschel collection of Goth
ic works and enamels the world is
beginning to realize that the premier
American finnacier is the possessor of
treasures of art that fairly Supply the
imagination in their range of variety
and their enormous value.
No perfervid writer of fiction ever
filled the palaces of a tabled mon-
arch with such treasures. The longest
line of the most prosperous kings OF
Europe left behind them but shabby
store compared with the almost Limit
less collections of Mr.. Morgan.
When, three years ago, Mr.. Morgan
permitted the Queen of England and
the Dowager Empress of Russia to in
spect one of his three great treasure
houses in London, they were fairly
paralyzed by the wealth of art, of
paintings. of statues of jewels, Of
ceramics, of porcelains, of bronze, OF
reliquaries and priceless antiquities
of every form and conception, of art
treasures of every age of barbarism
and civilization.
1t was then estimated that Mr. Nor
cams London collection was worth
$20,000,000 that his New York art
treasures were worth fully as much:
that the paintings and art objects he
had loaned to museums were worth
$40, 1000 900 more, and that the at
objects that he had given away were
worth another $10,000,000.
And every day, every week, every
month the private agents of the
prince of American finance are scour-
ing the world in search of more treas
ure They are buying quietly and
secretly in the remote hooks and corn
ers of the world. OF their purchas $
we hear nothing.
There are some connoisseurs who
have seen all of the Morgan collection
and who have looked into all of the
Morgan treasure chests who say that
his collection has cost him in the nigh
borhood of $100,O0O,00O. Others GU
this to half a hundred million, bu
admit that before many years have
passed and as the worlds wealth in
creases that the Morgan treasures o
art will be worth easily $10O,O00,000

TITS DAYS ARE
AS GRASS"
SO SAY OWLS
nest NOW On LAST LEGS
Was Organized With Over 500
Members

Americas Nest of Owls will sool
be no more if it has not already been
dissolved into it's original constituent
parts.
The Americas Nest was organized
with a great blow of trumpets. ri
was at the time when the Owls were
being introduced into Georgia at
a half dozen different points Atlanta
had gone wild over the new order
which, it was claimed was to become
the greatest American fraternity. I'm
der the guidance of skillful organizers /
with very seductive tongues, the mem
bership in the Capital City had been
run up into the thousands, so that il
was necessary to engage the Grand
Theatre for organization meetings
The Owl furore was in the air and the
state threatened to become Owl mad.
1t was at this opportune time that the
Owl organizer struck Americas.
He was a good organizer. That
such was the case was demonstrated
by the fact that in very short time
he had succeeded in securing member
ship applications from five hundred
or more citizens of Americas. Plains
and other points in the county.
Each candidate separated himself
from a s. bill with his application
blank Never before had there been
such a tumultuous desire to become
part and parcel of a secret society.
There seemed to be actually dread
that the lists might be closed before
some of the less swift could get in.
But they were magnanimously kept
Sumter had had his chance to locate
the necessary currency and turn it
over to the organizer.
That was not so long ago, just a
few months Starting with so large
a membership, probably more than
the combined strength of all the other
societies of the city, brilliant future
was predicted for the Owls. There
was even talk of club house with
fine equipment What is not possible
with five hundred enthusiastic mem
bers?
But the enthusiasm did not seem 70
have any lasting powers in it. There
were a few largely attended meet
ings, then came gradual diminish
ing of both interest and strength,
When the collector of dues came along
many dropped out Heavy drains
came upon the treasury. Sick benefits
absorbed largely of the income. Stead
lily and surely the Nest waned. A
faithful minority stood by to the end
that was seen to be approaching.
The end, those in position to know
state, has come, or is at hand. At the
last meeting the trend toward disso-
luton and the return of the charter TO
the Grand Nest was strong. That will
probably be done at an early date
and Americas Nest will become but
costly memory Taking the origi-
nal admission fees and all other eX-
penses and the Nest has probably re-
presented an outlay of some $4,000
: or more in it's brief, but highly inter
esting career
To paraphrase the Psalms-and ole
: King David had a keen insight int
the verities of the future
