UN DEAD ON
JRBIGBT CAR
The dead body of a man wa« fonnd
lying on the top of a house cat. Wed
nesday morning* when an early north
bound Philadelphia & Reading freight
train arrived at Oatawissa. The head
and face of the unfortunate man being
oovered with blood, presented a grue
■ome sight.
Members of the orew having oharge
of the train recognized the dead man
as John Herring, of Reading. His
brother, Newton Herring and another
man, also of Reading, were riding in
the caboose of the same train. Under
taker Bernlnger was given charge of
the remains, and the matter plaoed in
tiie hands of the Ooroner, Dr. B. F.
Sharpless, for the purpose of au in
vestigation. It developed that the de
ceased,his brother and the other man,
who proved to be their oonsin, were
on their way to this city when death
overtook the former. Strange to say,
after the disoovery of the body of the
dead relative, Newton Herring and his
oonsio continued their journey on the
same train to this oity, where it is
said, they have relatives.
On learning that faot the Oorouer
immediately sent a message to this
place requesting the two men to return
to Oatawissa, so he could examine
them as witnesses. They complied
with the request, leaving here on the
11:23 P. &R. train. Upon reaohing
Oatawissa they at onoe proceeded to
the office of Dr. Sharpless, where tbey
explained their strange conduot by
saying that they were greatly affected
at what had ooourred and were hardly
responsible for their aotions.
They oonßrmed the story of the rail
road men, relative to the dead man's
name and plaoe of residence. He had
been employed in the Tube Works at
Reading. His age was between 30 and
85 years, and he is survived by a wife
and one ohild. The three m«n were
enroute to this oity with the hope of
obtaining employment in the Reading
Iron Works.
The indications are that Herring met
his death by being straok by the roof
of the Shumantown tunnel, about 5
miles from Mainville, while standing
on the roof of the oar unoonsoions in
the darkness of his near approach to
the tunnel.
One side of his head was badly lace
rated and his sknll fractured, the lat
ter injuiy having oaused death. The
remains were shipped to Reading this
morning.
FORMER DANVILLE
BOY'S INVENTION
A. B. Flick, of Williamsport, is in
town soliciting orders for an invalid
bed-table. The artiole in qnestion is
the invention of a former Danville
boy, Eugene Kemp,now a well known
machinist with residenoe in tbe
"Queen Oity of the West Branoh."
The table is a neatly and attractively
finished pieoe of furniture, with a
swinging arm attachment that can be
readily fastened to a bed or chair oo
oopied by an invalid. The arm is in
two pieces, joined together by a swivel
near the table and regulated by a
sorew. With the aid of the latter, the
table can be easily adjusted for read
ing, writing or eating purposes.
Judge Savidge's View.
Too mnoh praise can not "be given
Judge Savidge's view of the right way
to treat boy offenders who, though
bad, may not be inoorrigible. He dis
played oommendable discrimination,
and probable oorreoti ve lenienoy, in the
treatment of two Shamokin youths by
■aspending sentence after their convic
tion for theft, on oondition that they
reimburse the party from whom they
had stolen. Tbe nsoal way of treating
suoh cases is to look yoang offenders
ap among hardened oriminals where
they enoounter the daoger of becom
ing ae bad as their prison associates!
In the oase of the two boys mention
ed, who have been given tbe chanoe to
make amends without being branded
as felonious convicts, if there Is any
good in them they will appreoiate the
Judge's lenienoy and try to live bet
ter lives. It is a wise and oharltable
course to give every young offender an
opportunity to redeem himself. If he
fails to take advantage of his oppor
tunity then it will be time to send him
to jail.
Danville fleets Defeat.
The Danville foot ball team were

FRACTDBED
BIS SKULL
Harry H. Exley, chief of detectives
with the John Robinson's ten big
shows, which frequently gives a per
formance in Danville, is at present
staying in Sunbury recovering from a
fractured skull whioh injury he receiv
ed while with the circus at Bruns
wick, Qeorgia, several weeks ago.
When the oirous train arrived at
Brunswlok, Mr. Exley was one of the
first persons to leave the train as waß
bis usnal custom and just as he step
ped from the oar to the ground a bur
ly negro quiokly picked up a brick
and hurling it with all the strength at
his oommand struck Exley a terrible
blow near the left temple rendering
him unoonsoious. Turning, the negro
started to rnn and made good his es
oape, but the men under Mr. Exley
who had witnessed thoastault jumped
from the train, drew their revolvers
and literally filled the negro full of
bullets, killing him instantly.
The shooting caused great excite
ment and in a short time a large orowd
assembled. Brunswick police officers
then identified the negro as a very de
sperate oharaoter and one who was
badly wanted to answer to several ser
ious oharges. It was the general be
lief that the negro thought that Exley
was an officer trying to 'oapture him
and in order to esoape burled the
briok.
It was at oooe seen that Exley was
in a very orltioal oonditlon and lie was
harried to the hospital. After an ex
amination by the hospital phjsioians
it was fonud that the injured man
bad suffered a severe fraotnre of the
akall and he was not expeoted to re
oorer. An operation was decided op
on in an effort to try and save his life
and a olot of blood and fragments of
bone removed wbioh were pressing on
the brain and a silver plate was in
serted. Hoveling between life and
death for some time Exley recovered
oonsoioasness and his oondition took a
tarn for the better. He was then re
movd to his home at Pittsbnrg, bat
phjsioians told him to leave the oity
and seek some more qoiet place for
rest. Taking a fancy to Sanbory when
with the oiroas there,he deolded that
this was the place to oome to complete
his reoovery. The wound in hia head
has not yet entirely healed and he will
always oarry an agly soar.
While with the Robinson oirons last
season Exley oaptared three oouuter
feiters at Hazleton and a murderer at
Columbia. He is thinking of opening
a detective agency in Suubnry.
EXCURSION TO
WASHINGTON, D. C.
The Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road Oompany has arranged to rnu an
exoarsion train from Bloomsburg to
Washington, D. 0., for the benefit of
the teachers and pupils of the Blooms
barg Normal Sohool,and all others de
siring to take advantage of the cheap
rate, on Uonday, December i9th. The
tickets will covers period of five days,
with the privilege of one day stop-off
in Philadeplhia when returning. The
hour of starting will be fixed later.
Two years ago the Reading ran a sim
ilar excursion, and quite a number of
the citizens of Danville took advant
age of it aud had a most enjoyable
trip. Doubtless many will avail them
selves of the opportunity this time.
To Save Money for County.|
Promlneut taxpayers of Northumber
land oouuty are discussing the ques
tion of requesting the judges of the
oourts of that county to make an order
enforcing to tho letter, the law rela
tive to discharging under the iusolv
enoy aot.
This is one of tbe most important
departures of the ooart.as it means no
end of hard work for the lawyers,
whose alients have been caddled with
the oosts, and it will practioally bar
two-tbirdi of the litigants who in the
past have taken advantage of the law
to esoape paying.
The onstom has been for attorneys,
as soon as the olient has been sentenc
ed to pay the oosts, togo into court
anr'i ask for a role to show cause why
he should not be disoharged from cus
tody onder the insolvency aot. The
rule waß granted, and tbe applicant
given his freedom pending its disposi
tion. The attorney would straightway
goto the nearest waste basket and de
posit the papers and right there and
then tbe matter ended.
This proceeding has become so far
ojal to tbe taxpayers that the judges
will be asked to issue an order similar
to Luzerne oounty. To get a olient
disoharged this would mean endless
worry and almost as much red tape as
looking for a government pension. It
is not too much to say that the maj
ority of the attorneys, rather than go
all the rounds, would indooe their
olients to borrow the money and pay
the oosts.as.it is by far the easier way
out of the matter.
The applioant under the order first
made a deed of assignment to a credit
or or oredltors in liis or her possession
and in criminal oases the county will
be the oreditor. Then applioants must
be appointed to appraise his or her
valuables, and they in turu will file a
sohedule of the applicant's assets aud
liabilities. After all this lias been
done, a role will be granted by the
oourt. In the papers filed mnst also
be an oath from the applioaot that ev
erything has been assigned to his cred
itors aud also a number of other forms
that must be filled oat.
Over Half of School Districts Paid
Uore than one-half the school dis
tricts in Peuiißjlvauia have been paid
their share of the school fund for the
fisoal year ending Uay 31 next. State
Treasurer llathuea expeots to pay all
of them during the present year. The
exact amount paid to the schools is
|3,881,)j68, leaving less than $2,000,000
due them. Of the entire appropria
tion of |5,500,000 for this year the pnb
lio schools proper will get $5,213,600;
the normal schools, 1337,500, and the
township high schools, (50,000.
So (ar it hai beeu drawing liglitl;
on the ooai pile.
STONE BUILDERS
TO LEAVE
But one course of stone and th
ooping are needed for the completion
of the abutment on the Danville side
of the river and Messrs. Caldwell,
Barry & Leonard expeot to finish the
work before the olose of the present
week. In conversation with James
Barry, the general foreman he stated
that this job was one of the best that
the firm had ever built and that when
the bridge was finally completed uo
better structure would be found on
the North Branch.
The laying of stone began the latter
part of August and hai proceeded
swiftly and smoothly ever since.
There were no long delays and though
good luck as far as weather conditions
and floods prevailed the able manage
ment has been demonstrated in the
fine result obtained.
The work was out up in departments
with oompeteut foremen at the head
of each. Thomas Leouard of Philadel
phia, one of the firm was in charge of
the masons. P. J. Barry, also one of
the firm, of Mahanoy City, aoted as
treasurer and with -T. 9. Caldwell of
Trenton, has been here sinue the work
began.
James Barry the general foreman
was a most important figure about the
operation. The taßk of tearing down
the remaining spans of the old bridge
was done under his direction as well
as the unloading of stone,building the
tramways, etc. He was always to be
found on the scene and being of a
genial natnre made many friends on
both sides of the river.
James Leonard of New Britain,
Oonn., had charge of the rigging, a
dangerous job, though the huge der
ricks were set up and taken down
without any aooident. He was assist
ed in the work by William Leonard,
also of New Britain.
Others who were identified with the
job from beginning to the end are
Thomas Toner and John Oarmudy of
New Britain, Cunn., stone masons,
John Burke of Scranton and Charles
Pingley of West Virginia,hoisting en
gineers, James Dugan of Plattsburg,
N. Y., and Stephen Murray, of Eok
ley. Pa., who were in oiiarge of the
oonorete work.
These workmen have been together
for a number of year* and are a hard
working,industrious set of men Their
record,while in Danville is of the best
and they will leave many friends here.
They expect to leave next Monday and
will spond Christmas at their homes.
It, is not unlikely that Caldwell,
Barry & Leonard will be in charge of
the masonry at the Oatiwissaand Ber
wick bridges.
WILLIAM BAYLOR
BADLY INJURED
While employed at the Reading Iron
Works yesterday afternoou William
Baylor was struok by a bar of iron,
fracturing his left leg, an I severely
cutting his left hand.
Baylor was working near the shears
when a heavy bar that was being cut
struck him, throwing liiin to the gronnd
and breaking one of the bones of the
left leg. As he fell his left hand struck
the bar and was severely cut.
He was taken to his home near the
Polish Brewer; where Drs. Paules and
Newbaker reduced the fraotnre. The
pitient was resting easily last evening.
Head Not Indentified.
Although the missing head of the
body of the man mnr<lered near Hick
ory Ridge liaß beeu found it lias not
been ideutiSed and the mystery and
horrbile mnrder is as far from being
solved as ever. All day Wednesday
hundreds of people viewed the head,
but not one conld be found who re
cognized who the man was. The head
is in a good state of preservation doe
to its being wrapped in the man's
olothing an] it will be kept several
days betore being burled in au effort
to learn who the man was who met
suoli a terrible death.
Sparred on by the reward offered by
the Northumberland Oounty Commis
sioners and the finding of the head,
officers are searching the woods in the
looallty where the head and body were
found in order to find some clue whioh
will eventually lead to the arrest and
oouviotion of the guilty party or part
ies.
When the report was circulated that
the head was that of an Italian many
Italians went to the undertaking est
ablishment and looked at the man's
head, bat none were foond who ooald
identify the murdered man. James
Ohristiano, the intelligent leader of
the Italians in Northumberland coun
ty, after viewing the head stated that
in his opinion he was firm in the be
lief that the man was not an Italian
and that he was not a foreigner.
The report oirculated and published
in the oity papers that the man had
been identified and that a number of
arrests had been made is untrue in
every particular.
A story was circulated Wednesday
afternoon that the murdered man was
the victim of an Italian secret sooiety
and that although reoognized by sever
al of hia fellow couutry men they did
not dare, uuder penalty of death, re
veal his identity. This story is not
generally believed and is denied in
strong terms by the members of the
Italian colony.
Jewish Holidays.
The feast of Ohanuoah will be ob
served hy the Jewish world commenc
ing next Sunday and the inauguration
of the holiday will be marked by the
B'ne Zion congregation in this city in
a very fitting manner.
A children's service will be given
Sunday evening oommenoing promptly
at seven o'olook. At this Berrice the
Sabbath sohool students will make ad
dresses, give reoitations, etc., appro
priate to the day and it significance.
Rabbi Rosenberg will have a short
lecture also and the music program
will be attractive. J. J. Newman will
sing a solo and Herbert Wyle, violinist,
will render two numbers.
A ohoir of seven voioes with Miss
Gertrude Heim at the organ will sing
a special service.
Now for Christmas.
TEACHERS
INSTITUTE

will do it. When the ohild leaves the
school room he should carry with him
the outline of the books he has read,
and a knowledge of the books he
Bhould read; so that he may goon ed
ucating himself indefinitely.
There is somewhat of a tendency at
present on the part of teaohers to neg
lent the fairy tales and Bible stories
so dear to the hearts of ohildren, and
pot in their plaoe the literature of a
more advanoed mind. Even the teach
ers themselves are often unfamiliar
with many of these oharming stories.
It iB well for any one, of whatever
age, who is desirous of comprehensive
ly reading biographioal,historical and
classioal works to lay the foundation
by becoming aoqnainted with these
Bible Btories.fairy tales and folk-lore.
Miss Edmund said in oonoluslon that
it is not so muoh what the child reads
in school,as it iB what he loves to read
after he leaves sohool that ia a mea
sure of sucoess to us teaohers.
After a short intermission a olass
from the Third Ward Primary School
rendered several songs with pleasing
edeot.
James Coughlin, Superintendent of
the publio aohools of Wllkesbarre, and
one of the foremost educators of the
state, waa then introduoed to the In
stitute. He said that the great pro
blem for teachera to aolve ia how to
teach. He emphasized the importance
of the teacher fixing the attention of
the pupil opsn what he is reading.
The ohildren should be taught to
help themselvea. A method, to what
ever it may apply, muat represent an
orderly and related aeries of exercises
leading to aelf-helpiullness. Self-dir
ected aotivity should be the one great
lesson for the ohild to learn. If the
teaoher has nothing definite in mind
the aohool will not be moving in a
definite direction.
His oonoluslon waa a plea for teach
ers to learn to so oonduct their schools
that there will be awakened iu the
pupils' mind an appreciation of that
person who ia standing before the class
and who is deserving of the esteem of
the olass.
In the afternoon Misa Gertrude Ed
mund apoke upon "The Art Idea iu
Education." She said that Imagina
tion, feeling and expreaaion are neces
sary for the oreation of art in any
form. There are three lines of educa
tion possible in our publio sohools—
drawing, music and literature.
As instructors of ohildren, our first
duty is to teach the children to ap
preciate the beautiful in art. Second
ly we should teaoh them to produce
ait. In order to accomplish results iu
these lines teachara should decorate
and beautify the walla of their rooniß
with inapiring pictures.
Iu apeaking of music Miss Edmund
said: "I hope the time is coming when
we Bhall have in our High Schools
classical musia; when we shall have
ohildren studying the great classics in
musio, just as they study the great
clas-iica in literature." She continued
by saying that we often invite our
local talent to play in the schools in
order that the ohildren may hear good
musio. How muoh more beneficial it
would be if we encouraged the chil
dren themselves to come forward and
do what little they oould, and in this
way better develop their talent along
that line.
"I have only one word to aay about
poetry," Miaa Edmund stated, "And
tint word ia this: it seems to me that
it is the mission of art to make plain
things fair and ugly things oftentimes
beautiful, and it ia the mission of art
to find and make beautiful the unaom
monness in common life. I often think
that poetry has been more of a help in
this line than anything else."
The balance of the afternoon was
taken up by Superintendent James
Coughlin'B address on "Sohool Discip
line." His talk waa instructive and
inspiring and wa9 very acceptable lo
the institute: so much ao that Mi»B
Edmund, who waa to have ocoupied
the laat period, voluntarily gave up
her time that Mr. Coughlin might con
tinue. Hla remarks were punctuated
with amuaing incidents in his person
al experience whioh served admirably
to illustrate the point nnder discus
sion.
He said that is is vastly better to dis
cipline a sohool by moral suasion than
by foroe. A lohool should be manag
ed, that is, a pupil shonld be persnad
ed to do things rather than force him
to do them. Teaohers should also pos
sess the spirit of justioe. Some oue has
said "The teachers of this oonntry are
the commissioned' leaders of civiliza
tion." Now if we are the commission
ed leaders of civilization, we ought to
nnderstand the qaalites whijh con
stitute leadership.
At both the morning and afternoon
sessions the High Sohool room was
oomfortably filled with people. Mauy
perrons not conneoted with the Insti
tute were in attendance,
WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
With each session of the Teaclieis'
Institute the interest seems to grow.
Yesterday at both the morning and af
ternoon sessions a number of citizens
were in attendance. The addresses of
Miss Gertrude Edmund aud Superin
tendent James Ooughlin were practic
al and comprehensive and thoroughly
interesting.
On account of the Rev. Edward
Haughton being absent from the city,
ohapel was condnoted by General Sec
retary Lanmaster of the Y M C. A.
Mr. Ooughlin occupied the first period
with an address on "Why Our Schools
Are Not Thorough." His talk WHH
given under three head'. First, we do
not see the end from the beginning.
He emphasized the point that of ihu
many contributions of study there
must be unifioation. It Is not so IUUOII
that the ohild is going to learn all the
subjects we teach, but we exercise his
mind and we want him to be a think
er. The doty of every teaoher is to
create the conditions which will en
able the unfittest to survive.
Secondly, the children do not pre
pare their lessons as they should. If
a class oomes to a teacher with the
lesson only partly prepared, the teach
er afaonld ba unwilling to hear that
recitation. Schools are not thorough
beoause ohildren are allowed to reoite
without being fully prepared. The ab
solute 00-operation of the home is es
sential to the school, beoause the pre
paration must be made in the home.
Those at home should understand that
they are to help in this matter of in
terest.
Thirdly, there must be a uniformity
in the studies. Certain subjeota be
come major studies at different times.
Between the agos of six and twelve
years, literature is the major study,
with a growing interest in others. In
the thirteenth year mathematica pre
dominates, and at fourteen mathe
matioß and history.
After a short iutermission Miss Ger
true Edmund addressed the Institute
on "Penmanship and Drawing. " Dur
ing the course of her talk Mies Ed
mund exhibited a number of apeoimena
of penmanship and drawing exeouted
by pupils of the school of which she
ia prinoipal. The ohildren whose
handiwork was shown vary in age
from six to thirteen years. Creation
is made the keynote of their work ; the
ouly oopyiug they are allowed to do ia
from nature. The children are taught
to cut original designs from paper
when they first come to the kinder
garten. From this vork they advance
through the different grades to var
ious kinds of designing. The wall
paper designs by children of seven and
eight years of age are revelations of
the wonderful system that exists in
well regulated schools. Some speci
mens by pupils in the grammar aohool
were water-color landscapes and flow
ers that showed highly developed art
istio ability.
On the sbuject of creative and orig
inal work Misa Edmund said: "In
every mind there are unknown pos
sibilities. It in our niUion as teachers
to develop what lies in embryo. In
the design work in drawing, nature
has been used as a means for snggest
ing an infiuite variety of new beauti
ful and original combinations. In ao
doing it is no longer imitation, it is
creation. Had the Greeks and the
great Italian masters simply imitated
what the eye saw, we might have faith
ful copies, historically correct, but
there would have been no art about
it."
Miss Edmund gave several valuable
suggestions on penmanship. Specimens
of vertical penmanship by pupila who
are in the various grades of the schools
under her supervision, were shown.
The specimens were commendable for
their neatness and skill. The vertical
system is preferred for the lower
grades beoause it is the most natural
system for the ohild. The speaker be
ing an excellent penman herself, is
fully competent to give the teachers
most valuable instruction on the sub
ject."
Mr. Gonghlln occupied the first period
iu the afteruoou session with au ad
dross ou "Pedagogy of Reading." He
said tliat we should first of all master
the mechanics of reading, that is, we
shoald distinguish between reading
and learn iug to road. Heading is the
getting of thoughts from the printed
page, an 4 we cannot get the thoughts
from the page until we know how to
read properly. Iu learning to read we
proceed from the known to the un
known, the known being oral speech,
and the unknown, written speech. Iu
learning to read we appeal to the mem
ory, which is somewhat threefold in
nature: visual, auditory and motor.
We should adopt a method that will
represent au orderly and related series
of exerciser, and one that will lead
oliildreu to help themselves.
The Misses Hooley delighted the au
dienoe with two piano dnets entitled
"Tourist March" and "West Virginia
University March," the latter being
an enaore. Miss Elfriede Weiss rend
ered two vocal selections with pleas
ing effeot.
The bitlaucc of the afternoon was
occupied by Miss Edmund. She spoke
most entertainingly of"The Art of
the Italian Renaissance." She Haid in
part:
The Italy of the Renaissanoe is the
art garleu of the world. Iu the mast
ery of liue aud color,iu the expression
of great truths and the embodiment of
spiritual ideals, the achievements of
the Italian artists from the middle of
the twelfth to the close of the six
teenth century, have been the wonder
and admiration of the world and con
stitute Its chief art impulse.
About the year 1000 A. D., the end
of the world was expected and when
this year passed without bringing the
great event, enthusiasm revived, and
as an expression of gratitude, the peo
ple began to build great ohurohes nnd
cathedrals.
The Popes invented the Mystery
Plays illustrating scenes in the life of
Christ. Such occasions as these stimu
lated the artistic pasiiou of the people
aud poetry, painting and sculpture
went hand in hand.
It has been truly said that the his
tory of Christianity is carved and paint
eil in its Madonnas. The first of these
hardly represent a real mother and
child. They are rather symbols of
battle.
In the latter part of the 13th cent
ury, we find the Father of Painting,
the artist, Cimabae. He made a bold
but devout attempt to break away
from the ascetic ideal, and unite the
dignity of the divine with the beanty
of the human form. But Cimabue'B
strong claim to the gratitude of suc
ceeding ages is that he gave to the
world, Giotto, the shepherd boy. Giot
to was a cieatr.r, ar. volutionist. He
turned aside from the arbitrary and
traditional forms of the past,and studi
ed at nature's shiiue.
Of Masaccio, it is said:
"He came to Florence lonu aao,
And painted here these walls, that
shone
For Raphael and for Augelo,
With secrets deeper than his own."
Of Fra Angelico, it Mas well been
said. "The light of his studio came
from Paradise." Fra Fillippo I,ippi
was the first of the Italian artists to
take the faces of those around him as
models for his sacred character?. Bot
tioelli's Madonna* are characterized
by the divine aud thoughtful face he
gives the Virgin.
2 Michael Angela united great nobility
of character to a commanding strength
of intellect, and a fervor that gave
him the apeilation : "The Prophet of
tiie Renaissance."

should the matter of State Armories
be takeu op at theDext meeting of the
Legislature. That a bill will be parsed
providing for their ereotion seems be
yond a donbt. The gaardsmen are do
ing all in their power to have the bill
passed and they are backed by tiie
press and. many people of influence
every where. Oaptain J. Beaver Qear
hart, who was one of the delegates
from the twelfth regiment to the meet
ing of the State National Guard As
sooiaton held at Philadelphia last
week said yesterday:
"The meeting of the State National
Guard Assooiation held recently at
Philadelphia was of great import
aanoe. The Armory question was taken
up and Adjutant General Stewart out
lined what would be asked from the
ooming Legislature and the Associa
tion unanimously endorsed the pro
ject. For many years the housing of
the soldiers of this great Common
wealth has been highly discreditable.
The majority of the buildings in
which the soldiers have been trained,
among which is our looal company,
are disgraoefully deficient in every
partionlar. With the present improve
ment now going on in Danville a fif
teen or twenty thousand dollar build
ing would greatly add to the beauty
of our city. There is now over 914,-
000,000 surplus iu the State Treasury
and surely out of this large sum enough
oan be spared to at leaßt mako a be
ginning. The opinion of the Assooia
tion was that the smaller towns in
whioh companies are looated would be
furnished with Armories first and the
larger oities In whioh the Armories
are more adequate would not receive
attention until the oondemned Arm
ories were replaoed with modern struc
tures. "
and his preeminence in soulpture and
painting. Not a fragment of his labor
was insignificant. Into art as into a
rioh land, he came and conquered.
In grace, purity, serenity and lofti
ness Raphael was the Florentine lead
er, easily first. He brought human
loveliness to the border of the devine.
Leonardo Da Vinoi's work has much
power and dingity, it is sympathetic
winning and impressive. His best
known pictures are the Mona Lisa,
and the head of Ohrist in The Last
Supper.
Thirteen Snow Storms.
We are to have just thirteen snow
storms this winter according to an old
rule. The flrat fall of snow ocoorred
on the thirteenth of the month and
the date of the event is the total num
ber of stormß that will come during
the winter. The old hoodoo number
IS,is figuring prominently in this con
nection as the seoond snow storm
whioh came Saturday, the 28tb, was
just thirteen days later. Last year the
first snow storm oame on the 80th of
November and there were just thirty
snow storms during the winter. Ap
parently theie is something in the old
rule.
