RECORD PRICE PAID
FOR HOMER PAINTING
A Great Gale Bought in New York by
Worcester Museum for $4,000
One Sold for $3.50.

NEW YORK, April 5.-The Worces
ter museum has bought one of Wins
low Homer s paintings from the Sne
decor & Co. galleries for $4,000, a
record price for picture by that ar
tist. This remarkable sale casts the
recent high records of the auction
rooms for American pictures far into
the shade, and while no one can speak
with certainty of the prices paid ia
private sales, this is a very large
amount for any American painting 10
bring. AT the Catholina Lambert sale
the Blakelock Moonlight that sold for
$4,000 was second to the Inness Sun
set, Montclair, which brought $24 900
in the Borden sale. At the McAIi1-
Ian sale $4,000 for a Wyant was con
sidered large price. All of which
goes to show that collectors of Amer
lean art, including the museums, are
finding it necessary to dig deep into
their purses for paintings that twenty
years ago they could have bought for
small sums.
The Homer sold to the Worcester
Museum is the picture called The Gale
or A Great Gale, which was exhibited
at the World s Fair, Chicago, with
fourteen other oil paintings by the
same artist, and which won for him
a gold medal. 1t then belonged to
Thomas B. Clark, who had bought It
for $3.50.
At the sale of his pictures in 1899
the total amount realized for the
Homer oil colors, sixteen in number,
only exceeded by few hundred dol
lars the cost of The Gale to its pres
ent owner. 1t was painted in the ear
| ly nineties when Homer was at the
height of his powers, producing mag,
nifcent coast scenes filed with the
freshness and force of the sea- The
composition is simple and powerful A

TWO DEAD, $50 SICK.
Mexican Climate Harder on American
Troopers Than Mexican Bullets.

Ell PASO, April 5 - While Mexican
bullets have not taken the life of a
single soldier in the American expedi-
tionaTy forces and have wounded only
four, the Mexican climate has been
more inconsiderate. In the neighbor-
hood of $50 sick American troopers
have been brought back from the front
suffering from various ills due to the
climatic conditions of the Sierra Ma
dres. Eighteen arrived Monday. To
date, two have died, Lieutenant Joseph
w Allison and Private Jesse 2. Tay-
lor, both of the Thirteenth Cavalry.
The base hospital at Fort Bliss in
normal times provides ample facilities
for the treatment of so men. Since the
expedition in Mexico began, its re
sources have been over-strained An
entire barracks next door has been
transformed into a hospital There is
an overflow in the isolation hospital
and three additional pavilions are
crowded.
Soldiers who are unable to bear up
under the strain of mountain campaign
ing, who suffer from fever and dysten-
terry, are brought back from the front
in motor trucks to Columbus and sent
to FL Paso by train. Until recently
they were taken from the station here
to Fort Bliss in trucks. Recently, how
ever, ambulaPces have been provided.
| Most of the men grow better rapidly
after their return.

Donley, a hunter and guide, is dead in
his home in Babylon, l.. l., where he
had wounded five persons and fought

imposition of a fine of 5000, which he
could not pay. He accused two of
his neighbors of making the com
plant against him, and opening fire
on them with a shot gun, wounded
both A third neighhor who inter
Ivened also was wounded. Donley then
fired several shots at his wife and at
the wife of a neighbor, slightly

What Would He Say?
(St. Albans Messenger


A recent number of Harper 5 Week
ly, under the heading, ""What Would
Lincoln Say Today?' has articles on
that question by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, Franklin Lane, secre-
tary of the interior, John Sharp Viii
liams, senator from Mississippi, Hoke
Smith, senator from Georgia, and Con
gresham Frank L. Greene of Yer
mont. Mr.. Greene s article is the
longest, and, to our mind, the best of
the series. 1t is written in Mr..
Greene s well-known and forceful
style so familiar to Messenger readers
He closes with this:
cit times like these when that part
of mankind that it not at war to kill
each other is in no less bitter strife
over attempts to fix and enforce arbi-
trary standards by which each other
shall live, there is always grave need
of president whose philosophy OF
statecraft is born of real experience
of life and living among real men in
a real world, and realizes that, in order
to live and let live, civilization must
painfully, toilsomely, sometimes blood
lily, work out its own destiny, and
cannot expect to have much of that
destiny made out of hand for it by
any executive rescript or the fat OF
| law

that Gen. Pershing has gone far south

the American troops near Aguascali-

The order for more motor trucks is
due to a growing conviction that the
Mexican railways may be of only sup
Elementary service, for the present at
least, and that the army will have to
rely principally on the overland motor
line from Columbus. The railroad is
running only one train a week and

MONDAY - Attack on Parras CARR

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 5. -
Surprised during their siesta, one of
the groups of Villa S force driven from
Guerrero was defeated Saturday by
squadron of the Tenth cavalry under
Col w. C. Brown, according to infor-
nation secured by Gen. Pershing and
forwarded by him to Gen. Funston.
In this engagement, the second the
American troops have had with Villa s
men, the bandit s loss was estimated
at from 80 to 40 killed No mention of
American loss was made.
Col. Brown s encounter with the
Mexicans had not been reported to
/ port to Gen. Funston, his information
being gained from friendly Mexicans
who had arrived at a point near Ru-
bio, where Maj. Evans of the Tenth
Cavalry halted. Maj Evans reported
that Saturday, Col. Brown had encount-
cred band of Villa s men and was
pursuing them through San Antonio,
Chihuahua. Soon afterward Mexicans
who arrived from that vicinity de-
clared that he had overtaken the wan
dering bandits at the village Of Aguas-
cahentes, 25 miles southwest Of Bach
inava.
Villa S men, according to their yer.
, sion of the encounter, appeared wholly
= unsuspecting of the presence of the
enemy a minute before they were at
tackled.
It was about noon when Col Brown
brought his cavalry within easy range
r The Mexicans were lying about the

eases, some distance from the men
Details of the action were not told, bu
