An interesting collection of water
coiors by American artists is being

iected by tho late Professor Halsey
C. Ives, director of the City Art Mu-

National Academy, New York, in
1911, they were sent to some OF the
principal cities, including st. Louis
Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago
and Indianapolis, where they We're
greatly admired.
The general tone of the pictures Is
excellent. most OF them being done
In free and easy style which is ex-
tremeiy pleasing in water colors.
There are several charming little ef-
fects that show a keen understand
ing OF the subject and are rendered
in most attractive manner.
Some of the artists that have par
.ticularly noticeable work there are
Alice schille, whose Asleep After
the Bath" Is quite a delightful
study, and 1.-THE Orphan of Luis
Mora. Others are by Kataoka,
Charles Gruppe, Albert Schmitt,
Arthur Schneider and Merritt Post,
are all very effective.
The exhibition, which opened on
November 2 and will last until De-
cember 1, is fulfilling great pur-
pose in enabling Newarkers to see
the best in current art in their own
city.

AUDIENCE PLEASED

Never was audience more delighted
with a musical program than that
which listened last evening to the
numbers given by Alfred Hilles Ber-
gen and the Marx trio at the Metho-
dist church. From first to last, the
program was received with an appre-
citation that might be truly termed en-
thusiastic and the lyceum artists We're
forced to respond to encore after en-
core.
Mr.. Bergen, the baritone soloist,
particularly was given an ovation ana,
but for the compassion which finally
seized the audience, he might be sing
ing vet so often was he recalled and
so willing was he to sing for people
who were manifestly so well pleased.
At one time he sang ten songs before
he was finally allowed time to catch
his breath
Two extremely heavy pieces were
rendered by Mr.. Bergen. Loewe's

Drive" The first is supposed to be
the most tragic piece of music ever

ROBBER VEXED WHEN
JEWELS ARE PASTE

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 30.-A thief
entered the home of C. F. York in this
city last Sunday and stole quantity
of jewelry. The owner of the ar
ticles taken placed their value at So
900. Yesterday it was discovered the
jewels We're paste. York insists the
thief made the substitution since the
burglary, but the police believe the
jewels were stolen once before and
that the first thief to insure his es-
cape put paste in place of the real
gems. A man giving the name of L.
w. Hazzay, a waiter from New York,
has confessed, the police say, that he
took the jewelry from the York
home but says he did not change the
stones. IN face he is much incensed
at the way he was cheated.
All the stolen articles have been
recovered. II am certain the Jewels
have been stolen before" said York.

SAYS SOUTH is MORE
PRIMITIVE THAN WEST

J. L. Keefe, jr.. formerly secretary
of the local Commercial association
who is now touring the southern
states as musical director for Miller
& Diapers Elk minstrel show, is not
much impressed with the methods EN-
ployed by the southern farmers in
tilling the soil, declaring in a letter
to local friend that the south is
much more primitive than the west.
His statement that hundreds of OK
teams are still employed there while
such a thing belongs to the vanished
past here in eastern Oregon bears out
his impression. The following eX-
erpt from his letter will prove inter
esting:
This is a wonderful country, to
my mind more pioneer than the west
in its methods of farming. Negroes
do the work in slipshod careless
manner. displaying entire lack of agri-
cultural knowledge while the whites
live in town, visiting their plantations
but rarely. Northern capital, white
labor and improved machinery. to-
gether with extensive state and gov
ernment cooperation in drainage re-
clamation will solve the problem. The
soil is boundless in its possibilities,
the growing season is ten months in
duration and sooner or later diversi-
fled farming of an intelligent nature
will reap a rich harvest for this fair
southland.
at is wonderfully beautiful coun-
try it gets into your blood Sugar
cane plantations and cotton fields
stretch for miles. The forests of cy-
press with long Spanish moss are
grand, Funny negro cabins and
think of it, hundreds of real OK
teams!
The cotton crop is moving as the
price, 12 Ia cents per pound. Is
good, 500 pounds per bale"

not give up liquor, Ora w. Knight
well known young man of this city

after her divorce from her former
husband. Jack p. Eversham. How

During Thursday and yesterday, he

GIRLS DEATH
IS A MYSTERY

Portland, Nov. 3O.-Local police
authorities are facing a mystery in
the death by carbolic acid of young
woman. Miss Mathilde Schmidt.
Whether it was suicide or murder
has not been established but the girls
sweetheart, Joseph +. Carrera, is held
in the city Jail without bail in connec-
ton with the tragedy.
Carrera, though reticent elaborated
slightly on his explanation as to how
he happened to find the dying girl,
according to the police. 1t appeared
that on previous occasions when he
had been told by her family that Miss
Schmidt was not at home, he had
gone around the house to a point be-
meath her window and attracted her
attention by throwing pebbles against
her glass. He went to the rear of
the residence, he was alleged to have
said for this purpose when he was
attracted by the sound of moaning,
to the grape arbor where she was
found.
The vial which contained the acid
was practically identified by drug
store clerk as having been sold by
him to woman whose address, ac-
cording to the stores person register
was 131 East Third street-almost in
the rear of the girls home.
The police incline toward the sui
eide theory on the ground that the
absence of acid burns on the girls
lips precludes any idea of the poison
having been administered to her. on
the other hand, the case is complicat-
ed by the assertion of the girls fam
ily that there was an absence of mo-
tive for self-destruction.
