ART NOTES. Apnual Report of the Decorative Society. At the recent aonual meeting of the Chicazo Society of Decorative Art, Miss M.

Iquote from the first annoal report of the New York So- ciety an account of the by ing of the work: **Tne first appointed weeting of those interestea in the idea ‘of making remunerative aurt work un existing fact for the women of America’ took place X , 1877, 2 meeting of five persons. * Each of the five knew that . . . therewerenumberlessedu- cated and dependeit’ women to whom a legitimate outlet for their Jabor would oe the greatest boon saciety could bestow. Whether it was possible to obtuin this ontlet; whether u few women thor- oughly impressed with its importance could touch fosii. the nuany, in_whose sympathy and help the bility lay, was avery important question. It was resolved | to consider it in every possivle light, . . . andafter much discussion another meeting was nppointed for the Sth of March.” At that niceting - keven persons were present, and a paper, afterwards embodied in the first pubtished circelar, was considered and adoptead as stating the around for the movement.” ‘The interest excited upon the circulation of this paver resulted iu 8 call for a weneral meeting to be held March 2L That meeting * was unanimous in a determination to organize as o society. and a committee wus up- pointed to prepare the constitution and by-Jaws, ¥hich were presented and accepted March 38, and the Socicty was organized under the name of * The Society of Decorative Art.” " That this Socicty eapplies a long-felt want i3 shown by the record of its work dnring the past yeur. They have upwards of two thousand con- tributors, represcnting twenty-iive States. During the year ending Oct. 1 they accepted 2,785 arti- cles; which was a triflc over three-sevenths of the nuniber olered, and the amount of sales duringthe same yeur wos S18, 416, 73. = Our Society ix suxiliary to that in New York, oot it is entirely independent in tinances and mwanage- ment.

A paper was adopted stating thie desizn of the Society, the amount of the imtin= tion fee, and also thut another eeting would be held a8 goon s 1 sutlicient nunber of names were obtuined to this paper. A sccoud meeting was held May 24, nt which_the Society was orgzanized, and elected Mrs; J. Y. Scammon President, and clected a1so a Board of Munagers, Our present constitution and by-laws were adopted at a meeting of the Board of Manazers held June 13, and the Arst general meeting under the constitution was hield June 15, 1877. At this meeting it was decided to issuc u circular which should include the cousitu- tion. The present rooms for the exhibition and sale of urticles were opened early in November. At the eencral meeting, which was held Nov. 27, 1§77, the ofticers for the enswing year were elected. The record of the past year's work Is gratifying in that it is « record of progress, which, although not ull that an enthusinst might desire, yer gives stronz hope tht we have bezun a work whichhall be a lasting bepefit. to our sex. Our contribators number aver 100, from various towns in this State, from New lampsiire, Vermont, Mussachusetts, New York, New Jecsey, Onio, [ndiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa, Missouri, and Kunsas, twelve States besides onr own. Nearly 2,000 articles have been entered on our books, of which more have been accepied than rejected. The amount received from sales is 31,586, 43. There has been & marked Improvement in the work of our carlier contributors. who bave had time to profit by the suzgestious and criticisms made upon toeir work. The. great drawbacks agalnst which we nuve to contend ure the lack of technical traimng in the ortists and of technical culture in the purchasers. To those who are conscious of this lack it may be watisfac- tory to bave an authority which will ‘act s 2 mne- dium between purchaser and artist to which mat ters of technique can e referred. In this connce- tion, however, pefnit me to say that the Society does not wish the work on exhibition at the So- ciety rooms to be taken altogether as a criterion of our standard of excellence. ** We mugst build the 1udder by which we rise, "—we must _have the low- er rounus before we can reach the higher. Work, which was excelleut in someipomnts, yet fauity ia others, has been received in order that those wno haa talent mizht not he discouraged but rather stimulated to fresh cfforts to excel. The Society would Itke to have ahways in its rooms some of the best work of its best contributors: bat if, as they progress, they find lucrative, steady employment, although the Socicty misses tae dispiay of their work, It has the sutisfaction of accomplishing one of the objects for which it was orzanized. It s the intention of the Society (o gradusily We raise its standard for the admission of work. aim ot the hizhest cultivation. una we ho: time to reach it. And here the Society wishes to cater a protest against bein askea to admit work which would find a more suitable market at the fancy-stores. Suck work has been frequently of- fered, and ity rejection has caused much disap- pointment. The Socicty wishes it distinctly un- derstood taat the industrics which it wishes to en- «congage are those which require culture both of brain dnd bands. To afford opportunitics for - this culture classes have been jormed in drawing, in embroidery, in_ water-color vainting, _ and in_porceliin-paiuting. For classas in wood- carving there has been as yet mo- empeciul call. That competition in it is open to women no one can deny Who saw _the display of such cary- ing in the Woman's Pavilion at the Centennial. When the time is ripe we hope that in this art also wemay have successful workers, No lesstoan 231 pupils bave been under the instruction of the Society during the past year, four of whom were free, Sarely this is evidonce that we have a zrow- ziufluencé, und that we must be conscicntious in Setting up standards for imitation.

Two circulars have been issued during the past year; the carlier stated the object of the formation of the Society, and_1included some extracts from the circular of the New York Socicty; the iater, de- eizned more particularly for contributors, mcludes information 1 rezard to the admission of work. Each contains the 1ist of officers for the year. At a meeting of the Board of Maunazers, April 16, it was voted to omit the regular etings of the Society in May, July, and Angust. Accord- ingly the Society did not meet daring those months, It would be premature to do more than mention that we have just opened a Loan Exhibition at No. 65 Washineton street.

Corporation-Counsel Bonfleld and Prosccuting-Attorney Linscott appeared: for the city, and Emery A. Storrs sod A. S. Trude for the relator. As was antici- pated, the city tried to get o continuance. Mr. Bonficld said he had just been called in, and Mr. Livscott claimed that all the notice he had had was through the newspapers; besides, the papers were absent. Mr. Storrs said they could be sent for, ana the Court remarked that the case was un ordinary one, and /e would not be troubled or embarrassed. So the facts had to be disclosed. DETECTIVE LA BOUNTY was the first witness. Re knew Mrs. McDon ald, and was present at her home, No. 176 Clark street, Saturday nizht, Nov.23. Him- selt, Hoffman, Swanson, and several other offl- cers went up to the third floor about 9:30, he having heard that gambling was going on there. The first one he saw was Ed McDonald, who was standing at the foot of the stairs at the en- trance, and ran up above, saying as he did so to a colored boy, **Hurry up.” The boy ran up to the fourth floor, and that was the last wit- ness saw of him. Going to the door of a room on the third floor. wishing to enter, Mrs. Mc- Dongld ran up to him with a revolver in her hand. She said they couldn’t enter suy room without a scarch-wurrant, and if they did she would shoot them. He told her that he had heard gambling was going on, uud wanted to kuow about it.—that he knew it was so, as he had had men in who played that afternoon and vight. She pointed the revolver at him, and he tried to grav it. but she dropped hier hand and passed the wespon to Ed McDomald. ‘Then she sald, *If you want tc o through these rooms, take all these oflicers into my room, and I will let you co througzh the house.

Just previous to the shooting, Swanson and Donohue said_they were going up-stairs [to the fourth floor], as they had seen partics going turough the *transom.” Mr. Storrs called on Swanson to produce the warrant, which he did. The Court—Is it a search-warrant? Mr. Storrs—No, a warrant for the arrest of Mike McDonald, aated Oct. 4. It is u long- winded warrant,—oue with a continuendo,—and thev had it for an emergency. Inapswer to Mr. Linscott’s questions, wit- ness corrected himself by sayine that the shoot- ing oveurred while they were trying to 2o up- stairs. Mrs. McDonald said she wouldn't let them go, or somethiny to that etfect. There was no door on the stairs. THE CROSS-EXAMINATION by Mr. Storrs brought out what follows: The object was'to get_into Room No. 2 and serve the warrant on McDonald, if he was tuere, —to take out whoever was tnere.

He told Swanson of this, and they went up, and heard men talking in Room 18. e asked Swanson to go down and tell La Bounty, but Swanson not coming back, wit- ness went down and told him. La Bounty said, “Come up; we will see.” Mrs. MeDoould then rushed from the door, with a revolver in_ her hand, passinz them on the stairs.

Several other witnesses, “ roomers,” were cxamined, aud corroborated Mrs. McDonald in every particalar. A LITILE TALE. AIr. Linscott offered to submit the case with- out argument, but Mr, Storrs would not con- sent, the case being too important. The Court said be wanted the points only. Jr. Linscott stated that his position was this: The police officers, as such, were authorized to make arrests. On this occasion they had two warrants for McDonald, whom they had reason mation that in one of the rooms of the building the law of the Stateand an ordinance of the city were being violated, and in pursuance of that informatton proveeded to make arrests, and 1 so doingr were anthorized by law. While passing up the stairs they were assaulted bythe relator, who discharged a pistol at them. [Laozuter] jio to believe was there. They had reliable fnfor- . Mr. Trude claimed that the ordinanee under . which the police were acting was void, in that it gave tnem powers not authorized by the city churter. They had no right to enter the roomi unless they had a warrant for a felony.

In the County Court the trial of the People against Ah Chee and Ah Quong, indicted for robbing a China woman of jewelry and other valuables, was begun to-day. The parties to the suit beine all Mongolians, it was concluded to swear the witnesses by the most bindisg Chinese form. As the ceremony consisted of sacrifice both of fire and blood, it was found necessary to adjourn to the sidewalk in front of the Court-House. A chicken and the necessary joss sticks or wooden tapers were procured, and the latter stuck in the ground and lighted- While they were burning, the prosecuting wit- uess (the woman who bad been robbed) held aa animated consultation with the Rev. Mr. Nevin. court interpreter, after which two wax tapers were lighted, and, after being brought n contact with the neck of the chicken, were stuck in the eround. Now began the serious business. A formiaable plece of yellow paper, covered witit Chinese characters, was brought out and handed to Mr. Nevin, who declined to receive it, savinZ in English that if be or any white man read it the ceremony would lose much of its force, 83 the witnesses woula claim that they bad nok understood him. ‘The document was then ten- dered to several Chinamen, all of whom refused to read it, one saying in zood Englist that b¢ would not read the puper for s hundred thou- sand dollars. Finally a Chinaman was_found brave enough fo undertake the office. He rezd the dread formula first to the woman, who re- peated it as hie read. At its conclusion a Jaree vundle of paper, previously prepared, was lighted, over which the woman stepped a couple of times, aud then took possession of the chickea and the sucrificial knife, a cleaver-shaped imple- ment, which had lain by the side of the fir8 during the reading of the oath. The male Wit~ nesses were then arranged in front of the fire, the oath was aeain read, cach repeating ic after the reader, who, after he had finished reading ft threw it on the fire. The Chinamen then, on¢ by one, stepoed over the fire, the nead of the chicken was chopped off by the woman, and "f‘ sacrifice was accomplished. We madean effoit to get a translution of the oath, but were us- successful. ———— Magnetic Motor. Another claimant to the discovery of a mag- netie motor comes forward in the person of Mr. W. W. Guary, now in Boston, who thus describes the nature ot his invention in tue Hera'd of thst city: “What [ claim is this: That I have dis- covered that a straizht piece of iroo, across the poles of a magnet and near to their end, changes its polarity while in the magmetic ficld aud before it comes in contact With tgi! maznet, the fact being, however, that actu: contact is guardgd against. The conditions aré that the thickness of the iron must be propor- tioned to the power of the maguet, and that the nentral line, or line of change in the polanty of the iron, is nearer or more distant from tke magzct according to the power of the Jatter and the ihickness-of the former. My whole ¢ covery-1s based on this chanee of polarity fn :0¢ iron wich or without a battery, and [ m3y sa¥ - know of no other way of obtaining more power from permanent magaets than is expended from the battery that produces ft, except this ung whiéa I bave discovercd.
