The annual exhibition of paintings be- the Bohemian Club was visited by the women friends of the and those arti fortunate -enough to have their canvases “hung.” The hanging *committee, indeed, has done full justice to the exhibitors in that it has used the utmost care and discre- tion in the placing of the paintings on the Iine. It is all harmonious, and that saying a good deal. The great and fash- fonable crowd yesterday reveled in the canv; 1t enjoyed the * Scene” with its tinted foliage by L. P. Latimer and gazed witn admiration upon a delightful “'sketch” by the same painter, representing a rich woody retreat, divided by still water, in which the trees are re- flected with excellent effect. The canvas was not long presented to the public be fore it was sold. Francis McComas has some gems. the composition in “The River” being abso- lutely striking. The same painter gives some most interesting pictures of a *‘De- vesterday ts se cember Sunset in Montere; ‘“A Monte- rey Sky” and “An Ozk Tree,” in the same locality. C. D. Robinson, Thaddeus Welch, L. Maynard Dixon, M. Straus, C. Chapel Judson and C. Cadenasso are rep- resented by canvases that show the true art of the painter. Cadenasso’s “Evening Shadows” is a particularly clever and fin- ished painting. Charles Rollo Peters has a strong canvas in his “East Hampton.” Xavier T. Martinez has jumped from the “‘usual” in his picture-portraits. One can- not look to Martinez for anything but the unconventional. He has one canvas that is a somber-looking affair, but neverthe- less it is the picture to the life of a well known artist of this city. Martinez has caught not alone the attire but the char- acter and pose of his man. The style of the artist is not to embellish or adorn his subject, It may not be the most popular or ideal way of placing a subject upon canvas, but, nevertheless, it comes might- ily near to the natural. Side by side with the idealized portraits the manner of Mar- tinez may look odd. But what of it? He presents a good picture. ' A. Joullin is a lover of the Indian. He knows his subject. He has the Indian's anatomy correct from the scalp to the feet. He has the pose of the Indian cor- rect, whether in action or repose or death. C. Jorgensen is an interesting man. He has ventured upon the sacred domain of Yosemite and not the least of his strong canvases is the one representing a “Thun- der Storm” sweeping down from over and between the great rocks into the rich val- ley below. There are so many rich paint- ings at the exhibition that credit is due to :‘1& artists and the hanging committee e. —_— Interesting News.

Six weeks ago Paolo Acunto received $50 from Mrs. H. Winteroll of 219 Leaven- worth street to defray the expenses of seed, for puiting in a crop on her ranch in San Luls Obispo County. Ac- cording to the story told by Mrs. Win- teroll yesterday to Deputy Coroner Mee- han, Acunto never reported at the ranch and she has not been able to get a trace of him since he left with the money. ‘Whether Acunto fnvested the money in a crop of Wheat or a crop of alcohol she has not been able to ascertain, but she has unbounded faith in Paolo’s honesty and fears that he may have been the victim of foul play. The mother of Frank Henderson, an 18-year-old hoy, ‘esiding at 274 Jessfe street, reported him as missing since Au- gust 5. He had been in the United States navy, but after his mother took him home he pined for a life on the ocean wave and it is thought he has again shipped as a sailo; ————— Alexander Gives Bonds.

Dr. Alexof Mclvor Tyndall will lecture next Sunday night at Steinway Hall on ;‘The Uses and the Dangers of Hypnot- sm."” FATHER POSES:; GHILOREN WORK To gaze upon (e well-groomed figure of E. Tognarelli of 127 Mason street as he stands upon the corner of Mason and Eddy streets night after night, calmly pufiing at a cigar, the aroma of which would lead one to believe that it came from boxes labeled ‘‘perfectos, 25 cents each,” one would never believe that the fine clothes and high-priced weeds were obtained by Tognarelll through the efforts of his twe children, aged 8 and 9 years, and that while he posed and ogled on the street corners his children were tramping the streets soliciting alms and lifting their childish voices in song to win from pedes- trians nickels and dimes quantity to enable him to live a life of ease and luxury. This is alleged to be the fact in statements.made in a petition for letters of guardianship over the chil- dren filed vesterday by Secretary M. J. White of the California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty 'to Children. According to White's petition the two children, whose names are Scandio and Orestes, have kept their father in a state of affiuence for months past by toiling upon the streets from early morn until late at night. They are clever musicians, says White, and make from $3 to $8 a day by their skill with the violin and their sweet voices. They also travel back and forth on the ferryboats, alleges White, no matter what the condition of the weather ‘s, while Tognarelli rests snugly in a warm bed with nothing to bother him but his thoughts of how he shall get his next suit of clothes made, what style of hat looks best on him— of course, if his little boys are reaping a | harvest of small change. A large factory in Jena, Germany, fitil- izes its surplus hot water in such a way as to afford the laborers nearly a thou- sand baths a week. The Right Sort of Holiday Presents i in sufficient !

Vallejo, and who a few weeks ago sued his young wife, Mildred, for divorce on the ground of infidelity, did not appear in Judge Gra- ham’s court yesterday to furnish proof that Mrs. McCarthy had been otherwise { than a good wife, and the court promptly gave Mrs. McCarthy a decree, she having filed a cross-complaint charging her hus- band with treating her cruelly ever since their marriage at Syracuse, N. Y., two years ago. Judge Graham also awarded Mrs. McCarthy $75 a month alimony, she having shown that her husband received quite a large income from property he owns in Vallejo and Seattle and from an island ranch in the Sacramento River. McCarthy, according to his wife’'s testl- mony, possesses a fiery temper and a disposition that rendered her life with him one of misery. She said yesterday that he would leave the stump of a cigar about their house at 426 Cole street, and upon coming across it later would accuse her of having entertained some one during his absence. She sald also that he would pretend lo leave the- hpuse and hide within a room and then mdke all sorts of uncanny noises and frighten her greatly. It was his habit, also, she said, to take her down town and leave her at the Palace Hotel and tell her to await his return, on a number of occasions keeping her there for hours. Mrs. McCarthy, who is very young and very pretty, said also that her husband had cursed -and abused her on many different occasions, and once grasped her hand and attempted to break her finger. / AlbertinaTurner was granted a divorce from Duncan Turner on the grounds of cruelty and neglect, by Judge Troutt. She testified that Turner has not furnished her with means of support for the last vear and that he frequently cursed her and attempted to strike her. Turner was arrested at San Jose last December on a charge of robbery. he having been ac- cused of stealing $1400 from Stone’s ship- yard. He was acquitted of the charge in the police courts here. . Divorces were granted to Lulu Mugrage from Henry Mugrage, and Sarah F. Brill from J. W. Brill for desertion, Elmira C. P. Schranz from Walter Schranz for cruelty, Clara E. Townley from John A. Townley for infidelity, and Martha Black- buxqulram Benjamin Blackburn and Wil- lie Turner from J. L. Turner for neglect. In a suit for divoree filed by Grace Nichols against John H. Nichols she charges that her husband has a habit of throwing graniteware at her head. Suits on the ground of desertion were filed by ‘W. H. Minshull against Martha Minshull, Sam Ziever against Rose Ziever, John A! Cullen against Maud Cullen, B. Muller against J. Muller, and J. D. Samuelson against Leah Samuelson. — Spring Valley’s Assessment.
