NEW PICTURES AT
 THE ART MUSEUM
Five Paintings Added to Collection
 at the Institute

Announcement that five new paint ings by celebrated artists have been hung in the Talcott Art Room of the museum of the New Britain Institute will be received by all lovers of art with much pleasure. These paintings arrived from the studio of William Macbeth, New York, on last Monday, and Tn order to hang them to the best advantage 1t was necessary to re- arrange and rehang all the paintings In the gallery. The manner in which the canVasses are now hung gives the art room a real metropolitan air. Visitors who have already seen the new paintings are enthusiastic in praise and much favorable comment is heard regarding the whole display
 Two of the new paintings are by Emil Carlsen, the noted marine artist. The subjects are Surf and Clearing Off,, and were painted off the coast of Denmark, near Skaagen. To see "C1earing Off, it is not diff cult to imagine hearing the huge waves washing over the rocks and hear the roll of distant thunder in the storm darkened sky.
 'December Sunlight is another rev picture, a landscape of great beauty, painted by Charles H. Davis. This picture shows a range of hills near Mystic, Conn.,, overlooking the Sound. It is flooded with mid d-winter sunlight that is really enchanting. The cloud effect is charming, making the picture subject to feast the eyes upon.
 "A Windy Day at the Beach" by Martha Walter was painted last sum- mer near Gloucester, Mass. This pie ture displays much vigorous brush work but from a little distance the whole atmosphere changes to such an extent as to cause a most charming and catchy effect.
 "On the Rhine,' by Colin c. Cooper, is one of the series of Belgian French and German city subjects, done by MT. Cooper some time ago. This particular canvass is very typical of the artists work. The strong shadows and clear cut ref1ec- tions in the water make it an ex- tremely beautiful picture. A pront~

 The Talcott Art Room has eighteen splendid pictures upon it's walls by artists whose works are to be found in some of the more prominent art museums It should be a matter of much pride to the citizens of New Britain that the city can boast of an institution which contains such masterpieces. And not only does the Institute museum contain the rare and beautiful in art, but specimens of tirds, animals, minerals, historical objects and other things which mean 6 great deal from an educational standpoint to both children and adults. Only those who have visited the museum realize what remark able and splendid institution we have in our midst. Those who have paid it a visit have told others about it, and many have gone again bringing friends. The museum has proven so lopular that since it's opening on May 31, 5,127 people have visited it..

Lexington.-As a result of 3 pistol
wound, accidentally inflicted, MISS
Hester Scott, aged 20, daughter OF
John Scott, is dead at her home, 10
miles south of this place. Silas Little,
son OF John Little, was with her when
the accident occurred.
Young Little had called at the Scott
home to escort Miss Scott on an all
day singing service to be held at a
nearby church. The weapon was ly-
ing on table in the room when Little
arrived, and the two were examining
it, when 1t was accidentally discharg-
ed, the bullet striking and fatally In
juring the young woman.
Miss Scott lived long enough to
make dying statement, her version
of the shooting bearing out the dec.
laratiOn of the young man that the Gf-
fair was purely accidental.
Miss Scott was deservedly popular
and her untimely end has cast gloom
over this section. Mr.. Little also is
member of prominent family and
held in high esteem.

THE MAN OF MYSTERY.

One bright day in the winter OF
h802 Q gorgeous chariot drew up be-
fore the principal inn Of Heidelberg.
1t was drawn by four prancing steeds.
which wore silVermounted harness,
and the coach itself was lavishly deco
rated with expensive curlicues.
From this vehicle there presently
stepped forth q man OF stately and
commanding appearance, lady OF
aueenly bearing, and three small chill
dren, the party being followed by q
female servant.
There wasn't much doing at Heidel-
berg just then, and the coming OF this
princely stranger created q sensation.
There was much coming and going OF
kings and princes in those days, and
It was the general belief of the town
people that the stranger belonged to
some royal house. There was some
disappointment when Herr Kinkel,
who made vinegar In large quantities,
announced that she stranger, Herr
Grandson, was a merchant from
Denmark, and had talked with him
about buying a large shipment OF his
product.
The days went by and Herr Gran
disson and his family remained at the
inn, while the herr himself made the
acquaintance Of the leading people OF
the vicinage. He was a most charm
Ing man, highly educated and accom-
plished, and of such stately manners
that people felt themselves honored
when he paused to converse with
them. It soon became known that II
he wasn't q prince of royal house,
he at least was o prince among mer-
chants. He had warehouses In many
lands, and ships on almost every sea.
There was great satisfaction In
Heidelberg when Herr Grandisson an
nounced that he had concluded to re-
main there indefinitely. He had i'm
portant interests In Germany. and

DEPUTY SHERIFF KILLED.
I. G. Batey Of Nashville Shot Down on
Public Square.

I. g. Batey Of Nashville Shot Down on
Public Square.
Nashville. G. Batey, a Davidson
county deputy sheriff, was shot and
fatally wounded by Lewis c. Green, a
former guard at the state penitentiary,
near the corner of Deaderick street
and the public square of this city. Ba-
tey was shot four times with ,3S cal
ribe revolver, and died at the city hos
pital. A letter said to have been mail
ed to Deputy Sheriff Batey by Mrs.
Green caused the killing.
Deputy Sheriff Hiram Wrightsman
was nearby when the shooting occur
red, and was one Of the first to reach
the spot where Bstey was shot down.
As Green fired the only remaining
shot in the pistol the officer envel-
oped him In his arms and pushed his
revolver in the air with his own. He
was committed to jail.
For four years Green was guard
at the state prison. He was 9 victiH
OF tuberculosis and spent three
months in the Davidson county tuber-
culosis hospital last winter. He left
the institution in April and has been
living with his wife and three children
in a tent since that time.
Batey had been deputy sheriff for
about a year and q half

and in the morning he was found
there dead. He had hanged himself
from the doorpost with his handker-
chief, and the immense win power Of
the man is indicated by the fact that
he had to hold his feet up from the
floor in order to make the suicide
success.
Who was he? The greatest and
most spectacular robber OF the time.
For twenty-five years he had been
robbing mail coaches, residences, post
Offices and all sorts OF repositories OF
money, and with such wonderful skill
that suspicion was never directed to-
ward him until the close Of his career,
when accident led to his undoing. He
was SO magnificent, so splendid, that
it seemed idiocy to accuse him Of rob.
berry, even when he had been the sole
passenger In a mail coach which was
despoiled Of large number OF thai
ers.
Heidelberg went to bed with nerv.
Gus prostration when the news cams
from Berlin. The leading business
men simply couldn't believe 1t, until
overwhelmed by the facts. Frau
Grandisson was arrested, and made
written confession, and IT is a dis.
appointment to know that she proved
cheap sport She tried to picture
herself as a martyr Of angelic quail
ties, who had been yoked with q mon.
ster. But, Notwithstanding all his
crimes, Grandisson retained the pub
lie sympathy. In fact, he was almost
a hero; and the woman's story did her
no good. She was sent to prison for
two years. and it soon developed
through police researches, that she
was 3 detestable character. who was
honored far beyond her deserts b.
her association with the magnificent
Grandson.

wished to watch over them. Also. he
was enamored of the town, which
seemed an ideal place to educate his
children. He rented large and hand
some dwelling and went to housekeep-
Eng in his usual princely way, with a
retinue OF servants, and fine horses
and carriages In the stables, and ev-
erything that money could provide.
Now and then he left the town for a
week or two to look after his i'm
portant business interests.
After being there some months,
Grandson approached the chief of
police one day and showed him his
hat, which had been pierced by bull
let.
Il have been shot at from ambush"
said he. "and you must find and pun.
fish the miscreant who is guilty, or /
must leave this town"
Needless to say. the chief OF police
and all his underlings ruined their
suspenders trying to run down the
Ioathsome individual who had shot the
great mans hat. Most Of the towns
people went sleuthing, to help the po-
lice, and the neighborhood Of Heidel-
berg was full OF false whiskers and
dark lanterns. but all In vain. Not q
clew could be discovered. The leading
business men. the wheelhorses Of CON-
merce. called upon the herr and
begged him TO remain notwithstand-
sng. but the great merchant was nrm.
He didn't care rixdollar about his
life. he said, but his duty to others
forced him to be cautious.
So he moved away, and for several
years was heard OF no more. But his
memory remained green. The leading
business mea never ceased bewailing
his departure. He was the only Gus
toner they ever had who threw money
at the birds. And the social leaders

were as depressed as the business
men. Grandson was the life and
soul OF society, and with his depar-
ture the bottom dropped out of every
thing.
Imagine, then, the happiness that
prevailed in Heidelberg when, in 1910,
another gorgeous equipage drew up
before the inn, and the great mer-
chant, with his wife and family, de-
scended from It! The whole town
gathered around him and cried "Wie
Geht's?p and the leading business men
embraced each other and wept for
pure Joy. Herr Grandson was moved
to tears by the warmth OF his recep-
ton. He had come to stay this time,
he said. His heart had been aching
for Heidelberg wherever he roamed.
He had made up his mind to establish
a vine and flgtree among his good
friends, even IL his hat were shot full
of holes every time he went to the
post ONCE.
His wife, dignified and beautiful,
was less enthusiastic, but she seemed
pleased to get back. The children had
grown into fine young springalds, and
the herr's first action was to engage
a learned professor, to act as their tu-
tor. The family secured another fine
house, and settled down to the famt-
liar life. Grandisson's popularity In
the town increased. He was 80 free
with his money, and he had such
coolies OF IT.; he was such a good talk
or, and knew so many amusing sto-
ries; he was so deep in great CONNER
cial affairs, and so thoroughly posted
on all matters touching the wars, that
his company was delight to every.
body.
AS in other days, he made occasion
al trips from town, and he never took
anybody into his confidence as to the
nature Of those trips. 1t was assumed
that he was looking after his business
interests.
Thus things moved along, and
Grandson had become town insti-
tuition, pointed to with pride, and 1t
seemed probable that he would live to
a green old age and die at last COW
cred with honors.
But one day the learned professor
who was teaching the children asked
for a few private words with Frau
Grandson.
Your husband is away on one of
his business trips?" he inquired, when
they were alone.
YES" she replied, and her eyes ex-
pressed anxiety; why do you ask?'
II have a friend who is connected
with the secret service" said the pro
lessor, land he asked me so many
questions about your husband this
morning. and about when he is ex-
pected back, that thought 1t best to
give you a warning"
Greatly agitated, the frau dismissed
the professor and at once wrote let
ter which she mailed in great haste.
The letter was opened by the authori-
ties in the post Office, and. by reason
of the contents, they were enabled to
trace down and arrest Herr Grandis-
son in Berlin, where he was living In
splendor at the Crown Prince hotel.
That dignified, imposing gentleman
was cast into q cell In the evening.
