Wales Bans Evans Portrait.

The Welsh National Museum has de-
clined the offer by Evans Walters to
exhibit on loan his oil portrait Of Cara
doc Evans, the Welsh novelist The rea-
son given by the council, after much
discussion, was that they already are
exhibiting another Of Walters works,
painting OF Welsh collier. II Is re-
membered however, that some time ago
Swansea turned down the Caradoc
Evans portrait on the ground that he
had deflled his own people. Much criti-
cism of Evans works has been made
owing to his descriptions of Wales and
its people.

ONE of Washington's most pro-
~ life and energetic composers,
R. Deane Shure has, as they say,
done it again." This time Mr.,
Shure's music, with words by DR..
Edwin N. G. Barnes, is more aus
piciouS than usual. In a can
tata called Sage of Mount Ver-
non" he has arranged some ap-
proprlate music to the spirit OF
this season and written it in a
bold, clear style. While some of
the first part seems a trif1e con-
ventional, when he gets to where
the treble voices sing the chorale,
Faded the flush of war to naught
but memories" he indulgeS in
what one of Washington'S most
eloquent musicians has called
real music" This tribute to Mr..
Shure, from one who knows the
very ground upon which music
walks, is only one of a number of
complimentary words which have
been passed upon this work. It
may be said, in fact, to be whole
leaps and bounds ahead of a
somewhat similar undertaking
which was published earlier in
the year. 1t is to be sung, Incl
dentally, by chorus of 500 high
and grade school children during
Music week, with DR.. Barnes con-
Quoting. This event is being
looked forward to eagerly by all
those who have read this work
and also by those who haven't.

PLANNED
FOR MARRIAGE

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 27
SO.-Appalled by recent sta
tistics showing that the Indiana
marriage crop was becoming "too
divorcified," Butler University Of
ficials today announced star
ting innovation in college cur
ricula beginning with 1888. They
will offer a course on marriage.
The course will mark Butler
University's official reaction to a
divorce rate in Marion County of
4O.55 divorces for each 100 mar
riages during 1880 as compared
with a rate for the nation as a
whole of only 1876 divorces per
100 weddings.
Dean Albert E. Bailey an
nounced the lectures will be on
the physical, psychological, eco
nomic, social, and religious as
poets of welded life.
It will be the first time that
any American college will have
offered such a course for general
registration. It will be open to
students and nonstudentS, single
and married persons.

angles of the case all the time,
but, 1 think it is fair to say,
our leads are not as hopeful
now as they were-Say five
months ago."

News of the continuance of the
investigation came to light in
Dorchester, Mass. where Mrs.
Ceilings is spending the Christmas

She was an eyewitness to her
husbands Staying and was ques-
toned at length concerning the
mysterious circumstances in "the
yacht mystery" by the Long
Island authorities. Today, at
Dorchester, she referred reporters
to he counsel. Judge Kelly.
Judge Kelly talked freely
enough but he had no "leads" to
reveal. He said:

cOuraging. Anonymous letters

incident which may lift the cur

assassination of the pretty 49,

Was this quiet honor graduate

her?

CHAMBER GETS
S14,000,000
PROPOSAL
French Minister of Finance
Backs Bill to Be De-
bated Tomorrow

PARIS, Dec. 81 GN.SJ.
Though France defaulted on its
December war debt payment to
the United States, the finance
committee of the Chamber Of
Deputies today approved a loan
to Austria of 100,000,000 schillings
(about $14,000,000).
The Chamber will discuss the
measure tomorrow and Thursday.
Henri Cheron, minister Of fl
nance, urged approval Of the
loan on the ground that France
must honor her word, given at
Lausanne, to participate in q
$40,000,000 international loan, to
Austria.
Chamber to Stand Pat
Reports the French Chamber
will refuse to reverse its decision
to default the war debt instalment
due the United States December
Is we're current today as parlia'
ment resumed it's sessions after
the holiday recess.
It also was stated unofficially
that Ambassador Edge had recon-
mended that Washington formu-
late some plan permitting Pre-.
mier Paul-Boncour to seek the
chambers authorization for be.
lated payment of the instalment.
The cabinet of Joseph Paul
Boncour faced it's first real test
of strength in the chamber as
parliament convened to vote on
the budget.
Deficit to Run High
Cheron lacked the time to draw
up a complete budget, but went
before the chamber and asked it
to vote 5,50G000,000 francs for
the month of January.
In lengthy speech, Cheron
declared Frances total deficit for
1880, 1881 and 1882 amounts to
1000, 100000 francs, including
5000, 100000 francs in railway
subsidies.
The corridors of the chamber
buzzed with the possibility Of q
new cabinet crisis which may be
precipitated if the socialists, with
10 votes, refuse to signify their
confidence in PaulBoncour.
