ers Of Stock In Big Concern.

New York, March 16.-At a meeting
held here on Friday the United States
Express company decided to liquidate
and go out Of business.
Following is the resolution passed:
Resolved, That, pursuant to the
power and authority conferred upon
the board of directors of the United

affairs be settled up and finally ad.
iusted as promptly as may be done.
The president is directed to inform the
shareholders of said action of the
board"
Although the heads of the Wells
Fargo company, Adams Express COM
pany and the American Express COM
pany have declared that they are not
considering liquidation of their con.
Germs, 1t is generally felt that their
stockholders will bring the matter to
their attention as happened in the case
OF the United States Express.
D. l. Roberts, president of the
United States Express, declared that
the decision to liquidate has resulted
largely from the reduction In express
rates that took place February l last.
But for this, he declared, the company
would have continued in business.
AS a result of the directors action
about fifteen thousand employees of the
company will be without positions in
the not distant future. The company's
pay roll is $6,000,0O0.
Mr.. Roberts gave the following
names of large stockholders and the
amounts of shares held by each: Har-
riman estate, $1,000; Brown Bros, g.

Artists 25.ooo Years Aoo.

MAN began to be an artist subse-
Quent to the last ice age, which period
is roughly estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 years ago." said Prof. George
Grant MacCurdy at the University
Museum lecture the other afternoon.
"At least that is the time the funda-
mentals first appear. Therefore, man
was an artist before he was a maker
of hieroglyphics. He produced objects
of beauty before he tanned the wild
beasts.
"The cave artist was practically
without an artistic background, but
climatic, faunal and other environ
ment played no important part in the
origin of troglodite art. The models
were game animals, and ran largely
to profiles, for the cave artist had not
learned perspective, but he understood
motion. He made single figures, but
was long in acquiring composition"
