Alderman Lars M. Rand of the sixth ward has started a campaign of reprisal against the Chicago Great Western rail way, which he professes to believe is at tempting to gobble up the sixth ward, in which Mr. Rand has a personal and impor tant interest. At the council meeting last evening he gave notice that he would in troduce an ordinance repealing the or dinance granting permission to the Great Western railway to maintain four tracks across Second street S. He is further more preparing for a hard fight on the scheme to vacate certain streets adjacent to the Great Western's yards. The council Ordered, the printing of the ordinances granting a franchise to the Minneapolis General Electric company and reducing the conduit limits. They were referred back to the special commit tee, the members of the committee on ordinances being added for good measure., THE MAIN CHANCE .. If you should see a copy of The Main ,.

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL CITY NEWS. MANY^SEE PICTURES ^ , . - i-. - - - biw First Week's Attendance at Fine Arte Exhibit Is Gratify 7 .singly Large. . j A Prospect That the Receipts "Will Cover Expenses of the , ".'* Exhibition.* The attendance for the opening week of the1 fourth annual exhibition of the Min neapolis Society'of Fine Arts at the public library has been' gratlfyingly large and there Is a prospect that the receipts may this year pay the' expense of the exhibi tion. They should do this for the import ance and high standard of the exhibits warrant such support? - " This would enable the society to devote all of its energies and resources to offering greater inducements in the shapes of prizes or guaranteed pic ture purchases to artists to exhibit. It w%s necesssary to provide a guarantee fund to support the former exhibitions and the society could not ask the sub scribers to help pay for bringing the ex hibit here and also to give to a picture fund. Relieved of the necessity of making up a deficit the society could and would provide some means of purchasing new pictures for the permanent collection. No definite plan has yet been proposed for the purchase of a picture but it is the in given loyal support to the Minneapolis ex hibition are represented by picture's that could be secured for reasonable amounts and would be great additions to the per manent collection. Among these are Wil-, Ham A. Chase, who has an admirable still life, Childe Wassam, with, strong and characteristic sunlit landscapes and a figj ure in the sunshine. E. W, Frank rW. Bensoq, ,E.. W. Coute, Charles Warren Eaton, Birge Harrison, Walter L.. Palmer. Based on merit alone there are numerous pictures by others which the society would also be glad to acquire or to have remain in Minneapolis. It is very unfortunate that people hav ing the money to buy paintings do not ap preciate ther opportunity afforded by these exhibitions where the pictures have the guarantee of competent critics as to their worth and where they can be bought for their actual value. Mr. Koehler and the exhibition committee are always willing to place their artistic judgment at the service of would-be purchasers and will endeavor to make the best possible terms with the artists. There is an impression that exhibition pictures are expensive and many who -would like to-buy pictures have not the courage to ask the prices. For their information it may be said that most of the pictures suitable for house decora tion can b secured for not more than $200 and some charming things for less than $100. There is an exquisite small Volk picture that never should be allowed to return to \&Jew York from a city where he has so many admirers. Last year a little Couse canvas that was .a gem was. of fered for $75. Among the pictures well suited for homes of modest proportions and average decorative schemes might be mentioned those of Gifford Beal, A. E. Schright, H. N. , Gausta, eGrtrude J. I Barnes, Dwight Blaney, Hugh H. Breck inridge, William A. Coffin, E. A. Couse, Charles C. Curran, Charles W. Eaton, William Forsyth, Albert L. Groll, Arthur Parton. W. Merritt Post, William Sartam, eGorge C. Smithe, and J. Alden Weir. .An Important acquisition' of tKe Athen aeum bdH*a -for the art room of the- public library made this summer Israbout ,ready for use. it 19 a collection of Copley prints of paintings by the leading -American art ists of-the day. It includes complete sets of the Sargentand the Abbey Murarpaint ings iri the Boston public library, Edward Simmon's "Justice of the Law" and "The Muses."' a half dozen La Farge paintings, and fine examples of the work of J: W. Alexander, Frank W. Benson Edwin H. Blashfleld, Kenyori Cox, Daniel C." French, William Morris Hunt, Charles Sprague' Pearce, Frederic Remington, Augustus, St. Gaifdensv Abbott Thayer, Elihu Vedder, H. O. Walker," James McNeil Whistler, George Inness arid George De Forrest Brush. All of the prints are of large size and are being mounted in heavy beveled mats that will permit them to-be hung on the wails of the new art room. They will be hung In groups-|&at will be changed from time to time. The plans for the new room include more ample and satisfactory means of displaying the photographs, plates and illustrated books of the Athen aeum collection. It is hoped that the importance and value of the small collection of art photo graphs now in the library may impress it self upon the public when they are ade quately displayed, and that the public may be willing to co-operate in enlarging the collections especially in American. In elegantly illustrated and portfolios of en gravings the library is rich owing to the expending" of the Spencer fund largely on this class of publications and by this means ample material is provided for the study of the art of the past and of Euro pean art but American art has not yet reached the estate of being- preserved ex tensively in monumental books and it is necessary to depend on photographic prints for its Illustration. Unfortunately, it Is doubtful wheijier the Spencer fund can t legally expended for' photographs and the purchases that have been made have been from a very small general fund There Is a fine opportunity for private generosity to aid in rounding out the val uable art study material for which there is great demand. In order to satisfy the requests for present day American art the new collection should be quadrupled' and then gradually augmented ".as new subr. jects are reproduced Last year Miss McMillan, librarian of the Athenaeum purchased three or four speoimen copies of Arundel prints, repro ductions in color of many of the great masterpieces of the work published by an English culture society. No art library or collection, is complete without them, and as the society has gone out of exist ence and they are no longer being issued complete sets are becoming rarer and more expensive. TheT library wants and needs a full. set. This could be obtained now for something like a thousand dollars and would be a superb gift of constantly increasing value ... * Martha Scott Anderson.

"We saw a fine specimen," says Dr. Gates. "It was ex hibited by prominent citizens of the island. Almost all of the participants were "ne- groes, most' of the leaders were mulattoes. Whenever the cannon got particularly noisy in the outskirts of the town we would hear business man call for their guns, see them-.enter their carriages and drive out to the. old Spanish walls to take part in the shooting. But they always quit firing early enough to drive back in time for dinner. A s a prominent mer chant told me, 'Even a patriot must con sider his .health.' "But the natives-are brave enough. W e saw half a dozen young men climb down the outside of the city wall, and, shooting as they went, with their guns at their hips, trot across an open field in the face of a rattling Volley from three dozen of the enemy who were taking aim from behind some earthworks. The three dozen were firing Mausers and Remingtons: it wasn't a wholesome outing for the six. But they sang and shot and yelled, and trotted and the other fellews jumped 'up from behind the earthworks and ran away. They ex posed themselves boldly in leaving the earthwork? that way.

Before this legisla tion is completed the senator would rec ommend a change in the provision that practically taxes one state for improve ments in another state. ' "The bill," says lie. "establishes a fund for irrigation works "and that fund is de rived from the proceeds of the sale of arid lands .in all the states.. But certain states have. a very small area that can be reclaimed and other states are going to undertake vast works. During my recent trip thru .Colorado and Nevada, I found that those estates were preparing irriga tion schemes that will involve immense expenditure."'. North Dakota, according to the senator, is exceptionally prosperous. "The im provement of business in our northern counties within the - last Ave years has been from three to five-fold.
