Mr. Bolton was also thanked for hit-
efficient service to tbe party as chair-
man of tbe county executive committee.
Tbe Hon. A. J. Evans was invited to
address tbe convention and did so in an
able manner showing tbe contrast be-
tween the republican and democratic
parties and be gloried in tbe doctrine
of republicanism wbioh meant equal
and exact Justice to all. He drew an
admirable contrast showed the evils of
seccession and of slavery and be-
lieved that every democrat was
glad that the republican party
bad saved the union and abolished slave-
ry. Some colored men forgot wbat re-
publicanism had done for them and he
considered that such men were un-
worthy of the ballot. He showed
how in spite of democratic opposition
the republican party had established tbe
credit of the nation bv resuming specie
payment had established homestead
law inaugurated public improvements
protected American industry and laoor
established a free ballot and provided for
public schools. He answered the cry of
•‘turn the rascals out” by showing the
nefarious act of Garland Vincent
Churchill Polk Gray and “honest Dick
Tate” that showed there were ras-
cals in democracy. He concluded by
saying that all along the line
from Maine to California were united
and that next November the republicans
will gain a victory as great as when Abe
Lincoln was elected.
Mr. Evans’ address was listened to
with marked interest and was loudly ap-
plauded.
Mr. Newcomb wanted tbe delegation
to go instructed to work for an anti-pro-
hibition plank in the republican plat-
form and for state nominations. He was
opposed by Messrs. Messmer and Pas-
chal and bis motion was tabled.
Tbe convention then adjourned and
thus ended one of the most harmonious
conventions ever held In the city. Tbe
delegation is understood to be solid for
E. H. Terrell.
ART EXHIBITION.
This still continues and now it is an-
nounced it will be continued next week
from day to day until all bave seen it
and admired.
Everything to be seen is greatly ad-
mired and surprises many who did not
know ban Antonio contained so much
art witbin her walls.
The Light reporter this morning took
a glimpse at tbe modeling. But before
describing IL" feature a large piece of
bas relief caug <t his eye. This is a real
work of art. lain plaster and is finely
executed by Miss Matthews. Tbe title
is “The Story of the War.” It rep-
resents Miss Matthew's home the
scene being laid In the old dining room
before the mantel and flreplace. Her
brother has returned from the war and
la telling of bls battles etc. Her motb-
e< her father her second brother and
herself are grouped about listening to
the tale. Tbe likeness of Miss Matthews
Is very striking while the resem-
blance of tbe plaster to tbe others of
family are said to be perfect. Her per-
spective of tbe floor celling and walls.
Is tine as is also her description of the
furniture and articles in the room.
This picture was exhibited in Cincinnati
and created quite a stir in art circles
and in the papers there. Tbe artiste
will bave it cast in bronze.
In modeling. Miss Matthews shows a
fine statue of Music in plaster executed
from life.
There are two terracotta tiles
Apollo and Diana by Miss Lamb.
Tbe bead of a sailor boy in terracotta
by Miss Matthews is much admired
A facsimile in tbe wet clay with tbe
three modeling tools stuck in tbe
shoulder accompanies this.
Rev. Father Pfeflerkorn of St.
Joseph’s church has quite a number of
works on exhibition. One of bls best is
tbe bust. “Heavenly Love” in plaster.
In charcoal there are two excellent
Sleoes executed respectively by Mieses
label Briggs and Tudle Florea young
ladies of but 13 years of age. They are
of course but in tbe rough but are good
enough to merit carefull preservation.
In water colors. Lieut. Ives has tbe
largest number of pieces and some of bis
work is very beautiful especially the
•'Cavalry Drill” and the “Pastoral.”
Miss E. Heusinger’s landscape sketch
is good and “Sable Point” in Connecti-
cut a sketch by an unknown is very
correct.
Gen. Stanley has loaned a photo of
Murillo’s Madonna and a painting by
Miss Nan Stanley “Twilight.”
The embroidery exhibit is small con-
sisting of a piano cover and two table
scarfs. The latter are the work of Mrs.
Wash. One is on pongee tbe other on
sateen. The design is very elaborate
and tbe shading of the flowers especially
fine.
There is also an embroidered banner
by Mrs. Sam Maverick and a pretty
piece of white silk embroidery on flan-
nel sent from Philadelphia by Miss
Johnson.
Miss Nesbitt has a very pretty piece of
“Mexican work” in this exhibit.
The Monte Carlo people will do any-
thing to avoid scandal. As a rule this
is the process. You have lost all your
money and you are in bona-tide distress.
You go to the Administration and ask
for a little assistance to get home. You
are asked at what table you played. The
head croupier of that table is sent for.
He recognizes you as a player and prob-
ably remembers whether you played
heavily or not. Your story being con-
firmed you say to what station you wish
to proceed. A sum sufficient for your
fare and your needs on the journey is
then handed to you and you have to sign
an I O U for the amount.
So long as you don’t return to Monte
Carlo you hear no more of the matter
but if you get back there again you you
must repay your I O U before you are
allowed to re-enter the gambling saloons.
All the people on the establishment are
trained to remember faces and it is very
rarely that they make a mistake.
A REMARKABLE TALE.
Snakes Live on Soil From the
Emerald Isle.
Tamos Francis Hogan in his book
“The Irish in Australian” relates that
Vaucluse one of the prettiest spots on
Sydney Harbor has a curious and ro-
mantic history. At the beginning of the
century it was chosen as his place of res-
idence by Sir Henry Hays an Irish Ba-
ronet who had the misfortune to be
transported for abducting the lady on
whom he had set his affections but who
did not see her way to reciprocate his
tender passion. Though technically a
prisoner Sir Henry’s rank and social po-
sition caused him to be treated by the
authorities as a privileged person and he
was allowed a full measure of freedom
on giving his word of honor that he
would make no attempt to leave the col-
ony and return to Ireland. Sir Henry
accepted his late with philosophcal re-
signation and commenced to build a new
home for himself on the beautiful estate
which he had purchased and called Vau-
cluse. But though the place was and
still is one of the lovelist spots on earth
it had at that time one serious and an-
noying drawback. It was infested with
snakes.
One day however a bright idea struck
Sir Henry as he was cogitating on the
subject and wondering if there were any
practical means of ridding himself of
these unwelcome intruders. He resolved
to try a bold and remarkable experiment.
He would see whether the virtue of bt.
Patrick s prohibition of snakes on Irish
soil would extend to the same soil if
transferred to the other side of the world.
He accordingly sent home for a number
of barrels of Irish soil and they arrived
in Sydney in due course. Sir Henry then
spread this imported earth as far as it
would go around his residence with the
result very gratifying to himself that
his domest c precincts were never after-
wards troubled by snakes although the
other portions of the estate continued to
be infested by the rsptiles. Succeeding
occupants of Vaucltse among them the
distinguished statesman W. C. vVent-
worth all agree in testifying to tbe sing-
. ular fact that a snake was never known
ytp cross the cbarmec circle of Irish earth.
