THE GREATEST
 NEGRO ARTIST

Dumas, Pushkin, Dunbar and many other men with negro blood in their veins have achieved lasting fame in literature, but there have been few painters or scu1ptors of note who could claim African descent. Perhaps the greatest of them all, Henry Ossawa Tanner, was born in PittSburg, fifty seven years ago to-day, June 21, 1859. The story of how he triunphed over the obstacles presented by a black skin and in the course of time became one of the most celebrated of Paris painters, and famous the world over for his pictures of religious subjects, is an inspiring record of achievement
 Young Tanners father was Benja- min T. Tanner, bishop of the Afro American Methodist Episcopal Church and most of his youth was spent in Philadelphia. The standing. of the elder Tanner as a religious leader gave to the son opportunities for advance ment which otherwise he might not have had, but for all that he was only a "b1ack boy" and few took seriously his artistic aspirations. Bishop Tan ner fully sympathized with the lads ambition, but he could give him com parative1y few advantages for carry ing on his studies. As a child the fu- ture artist found his greatest delight in visiting the Philadelphia "zoo' and making sketches of the animals. Af-
 
 to the garden, and he was disconso- late until Thomas Eakins, an artist whose admiration for the boy had been aroused by his sketches, intervened with the tzoo" authorities and secured a restoration of the privilege. After a time young Tanner was permitted to enter the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where he came under the instruction of MT. Eakins. After completing a two years course he de- termined to continue his studies in Paris, and held an auction sale of all his works. He realized $500 from this sale and b1ithely sailed away for the City of Light, which was to be- come his future home. For two years he studied in Paris, becoming a pupil of Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. His funds were then ex- hausted, although he had lived in a hove1 and subsisted on the cheapest food, and he then went to Brittany, where it was possible to live very cheap1y and sell a few of his works. In 1894 he won a place in the Salon catalogue with a Brittany landscape, and shortly after that he exhibited his Daniel in the Lions Den,'' the first of the many remarkable religious paintings which issued from the brush of the negro painter.

LIGHTNING BOLT INVADES POLICE
 HEADQUARTERS
Makes Telephone Operator Hysterical When It Ali
 fects Switchboard.

A flash of lightning created con siderable. excitement and did slight damage at police headquarters during the electrical storm Monday evening when Sergeant James O'Nein on desk duty and Doorman James Halpin, standing a few feet away, were startled when the streak of light passed be- tween them and down the corridor of the building, putting one of the cleo tric lights out of commission.
 The two officers were standing be- hind the desk when the storm began in all it's fury and while they were engaged in their duties, the electric flash passed through the building di- rectly between them. Miss Loretta Murphy, telephone operator at head quarters, was seated at the switch board and when the flash occurred she was so frightened that she became hysterica1 and it was necessary for the surgeon from the emergency hos pital to be summoned to treat her.
 Miss Murphy soon regained her com posture and outside of the fright was none the worse for her experience. The only damage caused was to the electric light in which the bulb broke. Reports that the police signal sys- tenn was also put out of commission by the storm have been denied by Superintendent Arthur L. Platt who has charge of the system.

Frances Million Refugees

In addition to providing the sinews of war for her great armies, France has been confronted with the tremen- dous task of providing food and she1- ter for nearly a million civilians, men, women and children who are refugees from the war areas of her own and other countries. In time of peace this would be no easy task, and now that France is forced to strain every nerve to hold off ''the hooches,'' it has as- sumed formidable proportions. About e-quarters of a million of these refugees come from northern France. The Belgians who have sought shell ter in France number about 0,000, and there are smaller numbers of war victims from Alsace and Lorraine and from Serbia. The efficiency with which these poor folk have been pro- vided for and, so far as possible, en1- pIoyed in useful work, so that they have become assets rather than 1iabili- ties, is little short of marvellous. The first great rush of refugees from the north resulted in the taking over of schools, churches, warehouses and public buildings for their accomnoda- tion. This system was found to be in- pra cticab1e, and gradually the war vic tins were distributed all over the country, each French family which could do so being called upon to re- ceive refugee family. the state un- dertaking to pay the expenses of the latter. Each adult refugee receives twenty-five cents a day, and each child under sixteen ten cents a day, this be- ing the same allowance as is given the wives and children of French soldiers
 This allowance is paid only to those who are unable to provide for them selves, and a large proportion of the victims of the war are now employed and self-supporting.

MT. Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge leaned languidIy over the top rail of his fence and gazed pensively at hog lying in the road. A motorcar came skallyhpoting down the hill and ran over the recumbent porker. Some thing went wrong with the mechan- ism. The car swerved from the high way, plunged down into considerable hollow and landed wrong side up with the occupants unconscious beneath it. MT.

In it's early days Halifax had the reputation of being a very wicked town, but it has long since outgrown this phase of it's existence, and it's people are now moral and law abiding any to be found in North America.

The first settlers of Halifax reached the site of the future metropolis of Nova Scotia on June 21, 1749, just 167 years ago to-day The place was founded under the auspices of the Earl of Halifax, after whom it was named.
