The master- piece is an Egvptian sculptor walking away from the Sphinx, which really meeds no title, so thoroughly is ex- | pressed the wonder he feels in the bird's claws, the beast’s body .and the human face that Darwin or Huxley would pause =t the revelation. It is a story of evolution and unconscious #nowledge. Scarcely less remarkable 3s a2 pen and ink by Patigian, repre- senting the hooded figure of an Arab walking past the Sphinx and delfber- | ately ignoring the smiling face which | fells him so much. Both of these &ketches are classics, MINIATURES ATTRACT NOTICE. As one proceeds he is attracted by iG. F. P. Plazzoni’s “Pool,” which was jexhibited at the painters’ and sculp- tors’ exhibition, and a couple of L. Maynard Dixofi’s pictures representing desert scenes. Both of these artists de- perve special mention. In the same | volce one may include Miss May Ses- | singer, who has five miniatures of ex- | quisite taste and coloring. The other | gketches of Plazzoni and Dixon give | promise, but lack much in composition. One of the features of the exhibit are fthree portraits by Olga M. Ackerman. They are exquisitely shaded and have the full joy of living in the canvas. Particularly effective is a face of a woman framed so delicately in the shadow that she is startlingly real. C. A. Fries has two out of four that are wonderfully suggestive, although the best of them lacks in composition. He has a woman out on a moonlit road awaiting the coming of her husband. The pose and attitude of expectation of the woman are superb, but the sky and moon effects are crude.

Be- | tween them it would be hard tc make ! a choice, they are all so deserving. Fall and springtime, with all their varied coloring, are so beautifully de- picted that one wonders at the extent of her art in painting roses and the des- olation of an Eastern winter. EXHIBITORS. Among the other exnibitors whose work is a decided addition to the art store of San Francisco are: Margaret Bradford, who /in water colors offered “San Mateo Hills,” “April,” “A Hay Fleld” and “The Quarry.” Mre, Charles W.

There were a host of other deserving | exhibits, mention of which is prohib- ited by space. During the evening an excellent or- | | chestra under the direction of Henry Héyman rendered a delightful pro- | gramme of music, which poured out | melodiously through the arches of the| vast building and added much to the | attractiveness of the exhibit: The ex- | hibition will be open dally from 9 until | 5 o'clock, commencing to-day, and on he evenings of Wednesday, November | 25, and Thursday, December 3, on which occasion a musical programme | will be rendered under the direction of | Harry Heyman. Art and music lovers | should not miss the treat in store for them. L e e e e o R DISMISSAL OF COLLEGE 4 | PROFESSOR IS DEMANDED Article Contributed by John Spertter | Bassett to a Magazine Arouses North Carolinans. | RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 19.—Because he declared in a magazine article that, save Robert B. Lee, Booker T. Wash- ington was the greatest man born in the South during the last 100 years, and parents in consequence threatened to withdraw their pupils, Professor John Spencer Bassett of Trinity College of | Durham, N. C., has offered his resigna- | tion. The article containing the decla- 1 rations about Washington has been | severely condemned by many persons and Methodist churches, it is said, have demanded that Professor Bassett be dismissed from the faculty of Trinity College. ——————— This Week’s Town Talk. This week's Town Talk—the Thanks- giving and household number—is a no- | table achievement in local journalism. It is an artistic magazine containing much that is of interest to the general reader. One of its features is an analy- sis of the character of Grover Cleveland by John P. Irish. A superb portrait of Virginia Harned is accompanied by her autoblography, in which she defends Pi- nero's “Iris.” There is a letter from New York of interest to women, sev- eral breezy sketches, some good verse, important news of the navy, together with the usual sprightly paragraphs about soclety people by the ‘Saunterer. He tells among other things how Mrs. | Parrott is going to revolutionizd local society; also about Emily Rosenstern's latest venture, the crusade against Kath- erine Ball, how Miss Dillon missed a tea and how debutantes are boomed. . ———— Pleads Guilty to Burglary. Alexander Hagan pleaded guilty in Judge Dunne's court yesterday to a charge of burglary and will be sen- tenced to-morrow. He and John Mori- arity, who was tried and convici last | week, boarded the schooner General Banning on October 9 and stole the ship’s compass. Moriarity will also be | sentenced to-morrow. . ————————— ‘William J. Robertson, vice president of the British-American Dredging Com- pany of Atlin, B.

Evidence That Unofficial Re- ceipts Were Issued for Releases. The Supervisors’ Joint Committee on | Finance, Police and License yesterday resumed {ts investigation of the ad- ministration of Poundmaster H. O. Ir- with particular reference to | charges made by the Pacific Humane Soclety that Irwin had failed to make return of fees collected. Irwin filed a demurrer to the charges on the grounds that neither the Board of Supervisors nor any committee thereof has jurisdiction of the subject matter of the charges or over Irwin as | Poundmaster, and that the charge Is ambiguous and unintelligible. Irwin demanded that the charges be dis- request. In his answer to the com- plaint Irwin denies all the charges made by the Pacific Humane Society. and requests that its petition to be given charge of the pound be denied. The experts of the Finance Commit- tee filed a report, in which they state that the books kept by Irwin agree The experts ascertain that no extortlonate charges | were made by Irwin for the release of dogs, but that in some cases animals have been sold for less than the amount of the charges against them. The ex- | perts recommend that in order to pre- | vent possible collusion between the Poundmaster and purchaser that all| large stock at least should be appraised | MANY DOGS RELEASED. In the year from May, 1902, to April, 1903, 948 unlicensed dogs were released, the licenses upon which would amount | to $2370, but it could not be determined ! whether licenses were taken out for | these dogs after their release. The ex- perts recommended that a license be taken out before an unlicensed dog be released. The experts’find a dis- crepancy in the statements of dead ani- mals delivered to the Reduction Works, the Poundmaster's records showing 3324 and the records of the works 3302. Supervisor Wilson contended that the | report of the experts cleared Irwin of charges of misappropriation of funds and maladministration of his office, | but the committee decided to take evi- | dence on that point. | Henry Stern, present of the Pacific Humane Society, testified that he had | examined the Poundmaster’'s records two horses belonging to one Jensen, nor | of the release of some cows and a horse | belonging to A. Lynch. Stern said he | found a record of $4 paid by Mrs. | George Makinson for the release of an but claimed that she had paid $5. | Former Deptuy Poundmaster Danzt] testified that while working for Irwin | on commission he impounded nine cows | belonging to Lynch, who paid $9 for the | | release, of which Danat received $4 50 | for his commission. A horse belonging | | to Lynch was released on payment of | $1, which Irwin and Danzt divided. | Two horses belonging to Jensen were | released at $3 a head, Danazt said. | RECEIPTS IRREGULAR. A. Scherf testified that while deputy | poundmaster under Irwin he had been directed by the latter not to issue the official receipts for fees paid for the re- | lease of animals, but to use a form of receipt given him by Irwin. Scherf | produced two of such irregular receipts | for $7, the money for which Scherf said | was turned over to Irwin. Scherf said Irwin had given books of lrregular? blank receipts to all his deputies, with MARKS BROS.

Marty, a milkman, got | into his fifld. Kinney did telephone, but Scherf paid no attention to it. Kinney finally located Irwin and de- manded that the cows be impounded. Scherf said he was subsequently hand- | ed $5 by Marty, but he did not know what it was for. Former Poundmaster Fred A. Osborn was the first witness and he testified that the receipts for fees during his term were about the same in amount | as those collected by Irwin, who now has twice the territory to cover. The inquiry will be resumed next Wednesday at 2 p. m. R FAVORS SAFETY STATION ON MARKET STREET Sfreet Committee Requests Board of | Works to Grant Necessary Per- i mit for Improvements. H The Supervisors’ Street Committee | yesterday requested the Board of Pub- lic Works to grant permission to| Charles Brown & Son and other store- | keepers to erect a public safety station | at the junction of Market, Fourth, El- | lis and Stockton streets. The work is | to be performed by the Board of| ‘Works, but the expense,will be br)rnel by adjacent property owners. The committee suggested that lights be| placed at each end of the station to prevent accident by night. The committee recommended that | the Atchison, Topeka and Santa F‘el Railway Company be granted an ex- tension of time until April 30, 1904, to complete the steel footbridge on Nine- teenth street. The committee adopted the assess- ment districts for grade changes on Parnassus and Buena Vista avenues. The committee ordered stone side- walks to be constructed on Ashbury street south of Haight: a sewer in An- derson street, between Eugenia avenue and Powhattan street; a sewer in Ninth avenue near N street south, and the grading of Eleventh avenue near M street.

The Health Board yesterday formally appointed Dr. G. L. Painter surgeon of the Potrero Emergency Hospital at a salary of $100 per month: Robert Doeff- ner, day steward, and W. E. Leutendt, night steward, at salaries of $70 per month each. The hospital was opened on November 15 last, and will be wel- comed in the iron works distriet. The board ordered the immediate va- cation of premises at 19 and 21 Wash- ington alley, known as Fish alley and belonging to George B. Keane, the Mayor's secretary. The premises were condemned as unsanitary last August, and the board refused to grant a further extension of time to make the place san- itary, which the inspectors reported can- not be done.
