message seriously. barrow goes up

cut off. None of the expert electricians
called in can locate the trouble. Just
as suddenly they go on again. the
next morning Mccarthy receives an
other message that unless he leave

entire electrical apparatus in New

kkT HE Laughing CaValler is the
most famous and best liked of
= the paintings of Frans Halls.
And the cavalier himself is most fa-
miliar, too, in glance, in manner, in
bearing No one can resist the bold
challenge of those mischievous eyes,
the full, life-loving lips. He swells
with wonderful conceit in himself and
a CHEEKY disdain of the world in gem
eral. 1t is altogether a marvellous
study of expression. In 1865 Sir Rich
ard Wallace gave $4,000 for the por-
trait. The HARLEM collector, who
had owned it, paid $500 for it. Its
value now would probably be in the
hundred thousands.
For truth of character Frans Halls
was the greatest painter that ever
lived, but it took the world an in
terminably long time to discover it.
A hundred and twenty years after
his death one of his great portraits

brought only Slips at a sale. He was
an aristocrat by birth and disrep-
utable by choice. Members of his
family were burgomasters, treasurers
and aldermen of Harlem for nearly
800 years. Frans and his brother Dirk
were frequenters of the lowest tav-
ems and this is about all we know
of him from the time he was born in
1880 until he was married at the age
of 81
Up to the time he was SO there is
nothing to show that Frans Halls
produced anything worthy of atten-
ton, but he evidently worked to some
purpose. His marvellous capacity for
catching an expression on the in
slant brought him many patrons.

Minstrel Show Pleases.

The minstrel performance given
Thursday night ut the opera house
by the home talent jubilee singers
was a great success and received
loud and prolonged applause from
a large and apprcciative audience.
Uncle Jerry Forbes as the leading
lady" was immense. His make up as
an old fat nanny was one of the
best we have ever seen, and his light
footed dancing was a delight 20 the
audience, since he could not III the
least control his Methodist foot"
but danced necessarily during all
the singing and playing.
