The apartment Of the governor gen.

the center Of the parquet door, with
his back to the light. was the thin.
wiry figure Of an elderly man In q
funereal frock coat. in the lapel Of
which showed the red and yellow rib
bon Of the Order of st. Anne. His
hands were behind his back. and he
stood purposely In such a position that
when l entered l could not at first
see his face against the strong, gray
light behind.
But when the footman had bowed
and retired and we were alone, he
turned slightly, and I then saw that
his bony face, with high cheek bones,
slight gray side whiskers, hard mouth
and black eyes set closely together,
was Of one who could act without any
conjunction and without regret.
Truly one would not be surprised at
any cruel, dastardly action of a man

Of which she has been the victim"
His thin, bony countenance was
bloodless, his mouth twitched and his
gray brows contracted quickly.

mean, my dear SIR" he stammered
"All that you say is entirely enigmat.

MOVIE ACTORS ARE BLOWN UP

Man and Woman Scared Toward
Stardom.

New York.-Betty Marshall and
Frederick de Belleville, heroine and
hero in a moving picture play, were
thrown into the Hudson river, of
Hastings. by the premature explosion
of 200 pounds Of dynamite.
Miss Marshall was to throw herself
into the water. De Belleville was to
leap to her rescue. and then the boat
they left was to blow up. Something
went wrong, and the boat blew up
first.
Fortunately the two actors In the
drama were the length Of the barge
from the dynamite. They went high
into the air and then into the water
simultaneously with the terrific flash
and defamation that shook windows
mile away.
Marshall w. Taggart. head Of the
film company. which had purchased
the dynamite and the barge. was in
launch some distance away ready
to pick up the pair when they got in
the water In the proposed stunt"
Taggart got into action in earnest and
soon pulled them out.
Miss Marshall's burns on face and
body are severe. but not serious. Do
Belleville was struck on the head by
timber, and has scalp wound and
slight burns.
Three photographers rowing from
the barge to get ready for the picture
were upset. but managed to right
their boat and Chamber back. Tho
cameras went to the bottom.

make their writing a success, this be-
ing more probably the reason. Then
there are the little boxes and books
and pictures which the boys and girls
cut out and paste together, all indi-
eating dexterity and defines in hand
icraft. The water color drawings
were of all kinds and descriptions.
Every kind of flowers and plants ami
mails and objects were drawn in vary
Ing styles Of tone and color and some
of the more ambitious of the BOYS
and girls oranched out into cartoons
Of original design.
But the displays were themselves
worthy Of mention. In one room the
drawings were placed on strings
stretched across the room, so that all
might be seen. On the board in the
same room were specimens of arith-
metic work. In another room the In
dians were camping in their tents out
on the desert. In one room, the fifth
grade boys and their teacher had a
collection of coins, rocks, tomahawk,
plant specimens and other objects of
natural history and of an interesting
nature which were shown to visitors
by the boys who manifested a great
pride in their museum. In the same
room the boys had made a miniature
Japanese garden. following closely in
design the pupils ideas of what n Jap
anese garden looks like. In several
rooms there were various designs
made in sand. one Of them being a
model farm with cottage and the ac-
cessories Of farm dwelling. The
rooms We're all worth seeing and the
only trouble was that there was SO
much to see that it was difficult to see
and remember it all.
At the Hampton school the big girls,
or young ladies rather, had their work
on display. Here the greater number
of visitors went and were met at the
doors and shown the exhibits, given
refreshments of fruit punch and made
to feel that the school was their
school and it was their work, fgu-
ratively speaking, which they were
looking at.
Ihe EXHIBITS were those Of manual
training, art, domestic science. sewing.
and designing. All of them were of
an advanced nature and many OF
them showed much originality and
beauty. The exhibit was not quite so
large as it has been on former years.

From The Daily Item, May 21.


The annual exhibition Of the work
Of the city schools in art, domestic
science, manual training and pen
manship was given on Thursday after
noon between the hours Of five and
seven and there were hundreds of
visitors during this time to make an
inspection Of the work placed on dis
play. All of those who went came
away highly pleased with what they
saw and at the evident interest pupils
and teachers were showing in their
work. The pleasure of the teachers
and pupils in having them come no
doubt added much to their gratid-
cation.
At the Washington School the little
school children hold FORTH" or at
least they control the building, except
such portions as their teachers and
superintendent control. At any rate
here is where some of them live
|abOut five hours of every school day
Of the year and they evidently think
Of it as their own. Five grades are
taught in the building and there is
not any room for anybody else, ex-
cept that visitors are always welcome.
The little children on Thursday after
noon manifested their interest and
pleasure as much as the teachers by
their desire to show the visitors cv-
erything and there was much to see.
There were twelve rooms, or maybe a
few more, and every one Of them was
full of interesting things.
A feature that first struck the eye
Of the visitor, no doubt, was the beau
ty Of the flowers potted plants and
cut flowers, and the tastful manner FRI
which they were arranged on tables
desk and in the windows, making the
school room model for neatness and
beauty Practically every room was
so decorated, and the drawings of the
pupils and their other work was dis
played in a neat arrangement so that
all could be readily seen and appre-
ciated by the educated eye. The writ
Ing, the Palmer method, has
been used in the school ever since
the little folks entered and they were
brought up on it," so to speak, The
beauty and ease OF the method is
suggested by the excellence of the dis
plays, or possibly this may be because
the little folks and their teachers take
such an interest and try so hard to
