ELECTION OF THE JURY.

Everything Considered, This Year's: Work Shows Marked Im-

.-.'.;.\u25a0\u25a0• provement.

f The jury and hanging committee of theSan Francisco ArtAssociation were electedyesterday, and there is no doubt that all

of the previous exhibition. The workseems to be taking a broader scope, andshowing a wider art feeling on the part ofthe workers than heretofore. Inthe list ofexhibitors there are many evidences ofdefinite improvement on the part of indi-vidual artists.

The pictures reproduced herewith areamong the very many strong works sentsent in. L. F. Latimers "The Edge ofthe Woods" is an excellent specimen ofthe style of work which Latimer part.ic-larly affects. Itseems a? though he neverwould be satisfied unless he were paintingtrees of some kind. Besides this he hassent in "The Foothills Near Santa Rosa"and "AMorning in the Redwoods." Twoare watercolors and the last in oil, whichis probably as good a thing as Latimer hasever done." Ifitis hung in a light thatwillbring itout it is pretty sure to attractattention.

Amedee Joullin has sent a very clever! thing, painted across the bay, which he

calls "Alameda Sand-dunes." His otherpicture, "The Presidio Sand-dunes," is very• good. Upon Joullln's testimony it is

ipossible to state that there are more differ-• ent kinds of sand around San Francisco

well worked out. The "Genoese Beggar"is strong in color and excellently drawn.Jorgensen's recent work is showing markedimprovement.

Among the younger girlartists Miss M.Froelich is doing very well. Her"Late Afternoon Effect, Berkeley," is verygood indeed. Her "Berkeley Oaks," whichshe has also Kent and which is owned byW. K. Whittier, is perhaps the stronger of

>yill be inreadiness when the opening day.Comes around next Thursday.

.'••\u25a0\u25a0;\u25a0.•\u25a0 Under the recent action of the associa-iien, the jury and hanging committee weremerged into one body, to be composed of

*.instead of nine artists, as heretofore.;:^6is plan went astray through the fact

than almost anywhere else. "Allsand isneither white nor gray," says Joullin. 'Ihave neyer yet been able to rind two dunesalike in tone."

h. M. Yermoreken has sent several por-traits besides the picture of 'The Old andthe Young Sailors." His "The Smoker" isespecially good. Vermorcken iscompara-

the two. but they are both creditably rep-resentative of the standard of work amongthe younger artiste. Miss Froelich is ahard 'worker, and promises to make herselfmore thoroughly known in the future.

_Mis? Selina Newman, wno a short time

ago returned from a course of study underBouguereau, LeFebvre and Jakobides, has

. that there was a tie in the votes sent in,\u25a0 /an<i'. now the jury stands six—an even

number— instead of the five, as originally• .intended.:|:';.-THey- are: L. P. Latimer, Arthur F.

Ma.thpws, Mrs. Alice B. Chittendcn, Wil-

tively a stranger here, but his work, espe-cially in the Portrait Loan Exhibition, hasattracted considerable attention. InNewYork and Philadelphia he is well knownfor his clever portraiture. His portraits ofDaniel Baugh, president of the Philadel-phia Art Club, Charles H. Cramp, the

liam Keith, John A. Stantqn and EmilPissis. This committee and jury willmeetto-morrow at noon, and willbegin work atonce, in order to have all ready for theopening on Thursday.

Everything is bustle and activity at theinstitute where arrangements are beingcompleted for thf exhibition. Pictures ofall sires are pouring in. Frames of all

Ishipbuilder, Jay Cook of Philadelphia,i Mrs. Lippincott and others, have oftenj been seen in the Academy of Design ofNew York and in the ArtClub galleries atPhiladelphia. Since he has been in Cali-

Ifornia his work has lost none of its value."Chris"' Jorgensen is going to exhibit

some of the result of the two years recently1 spent in Italy,which is sure to attract fa-

styles, kinds and variety: watercolors,oils and pastels are scatt-rod all ov«r theplace waiting fur action of the jury andhanging comn.ittee.

The exhibition this year promises inpoint of number, as well as in strength ofthe work to be exhibited, to be in advance

vorable notice. Besides his "Genoese Beg-gar," he will send ahead of an old "Street-sweeper," and an oil portrait in gray.This last piece of work is probably one ofthe best things that Jorgensen ever did in

j the line of portraiture. The handling isespecially good and the scheme of color

sent three very clever things. One is a por-trait, another "The I)ay After," and thethird an oilstudy of a boy. Of the threethe one reproduced is the most effective,although very small.

Miss Isabella Morrison, who is one of thedaintiest workers in the city, and a younglady whose ability and energy promisewell for her future and work, is sending avery effective canvas called "In the Gar-den." Mi99 Morrison has modestly con-tented herself witli one picture, but fromthat one there is good reason to believethat the artist is making good progress.

Arthur F. Mathews has sent two cleverportraits, but being out of feeling withhislarger canvas at which he has been work-ing concluded not to send it,although allhis fellow artists who saw itliked the can-vas. Keith's landscapes are as strong asever, while Thomas Hillseems rather will-ing to let his pictures go without that care-ful working out which characterizes muchof his earlier work. In color he is as bril-liant aa ever.

John A. Stanton has surprised many ofhis friends by the work he has sent, whichshows decided progress and improvement.Oscar Kunath, Miss Barah E. Bender, Mrs.A. B. Cbittenden, Emil Pissis, Mrs. M.Richardson and others have all sent strongcanvases. Miss Lou Wall's "BrighteningBrass" is excellent.Itis more than likely that the hanging

committee willhave nearly 200 pictures ontheir hands to "line" or "sky^ accordingto their judgment, and as, in commonwithevery other hanging committee in the\u25a0world, they feel satisfied that they cannotplease everybody they have concluded todo the best they can and rely on Provi-dence and the public for approval.

With It.

Rio Vista, Cal., March 21. 1895.— N. J.Stone, room 7, Flood Building, San Fran-cisco, Cal.— Dear Sir: In the matter ofthe Fittz cure for alcoholism you may usemy name all you wish. Ihave watohedthe effects of the treatment on some verybad cases, and the results have been mar-velous. Inmy opinion itis the only curefor that disease. Not only willitcure theinebriate, but itwillbuild up the constitu-tion, strengthen the brain and nervous syß-tem and take away the ill effects thatwhisky generally leaves behind it.

Youmay refer any one to me and Iwillgladly answer all inquiries. Since itmadesuch a complete. and perfect cure of thenumerous cases that have come under myobservation Ibelieve itwillcure any one,and Ifeel that Iam doing good work inmaking itknown to others.

WITH APRON AND TROWELGrand Masonic Bodies to Hold

Annual Sessions ThisWeek.

FINISHING THE YEAR'S WORK.

They Are the Grand Council, GrandChapter and Grand Com-

mandery.

To Masons of the York rite this week isof particular interest from the fact thatthree grand bodies convene at MasonicTemple, corner of Montgomery and Poststreets. These gatherings willbring to thecity many prominent men from all partsof the State. The Grand Council of Royaland Select Masters willholdits thirty-fifthannual assembly on Monday; the GrandChapter of Royal Arch Masona willdevoteTuesday and Wednesday to its forty-firstannual convocation, and the Grand Com-mandery, Knights Templar, will com-mence its thirty-seventh annual conclaveon Thursday, to continue until Fridayafternoon.

The Grand Chapter represents 5132Royal Arch Masons of this State; theGrand Com mandery 2887 Knights Temp-lar and the Grand Council 1039 Select Mas-ters. By a uniform system of masonry thegrand body is composed of the three princi-pal officers and all the past highest officerslivingof each subordinate body. Thus theGrand Chapter consists of the high priest,king and scribe, and nil past high priestsof each chapter, and the Grand Com-mandery is similarly composed of the com-mander, generalissimo, captain-general andthe past commanders of eachcoinmandery.

Nine subordinate councils are repre-sented in the Grand Council of Royal andSelect Masters. They are located accord-ing to their numeral "order in the followingplaces: Sacramento, San Francisco,Marysville, Sonora, Shasta, Helena, Mont.,Stockton, Los Angeles and Oakland. Thegrand officers under whom the work willbe conducted are: George Penlington ofKan Francisco, grand master; Charles I'].(Hllettof Oakland, deputy grand master;William H. Davis of Sacramento, grandprincipal conductor of the works; Frank-linH.Day of San Francisco, grand treas-urer; Thomas H. Caswell of San Fran-cisco, grand recorder; Thomas Kyle ofSan Francisco, grand chaplain ; HenryAsheroft of San Francisco, grand captainof the guards; Robert Ash ot San Fran-cisco, grand conductor of the council;Charles L.Field of San Francisco, grandlecturer; Aug. Wackerbarth of Los An-geles, grand steward; Samuel D.Mayer ofSan Francisco, grand organist, and JamesOglesby of San Francisco, grand sentinel.

The "number of subordinate chapters tobe represented by the Grand Chapter onTuesday is sixty-eipht. The grand officersare: Ellison L. Crawford of Georgetown,grand high priest; Adolphus Hewell ofModesto, deputy grand high priest;Thomas Flint of San Juan, grand king;William F. Pierce of Oakland, grandscribe; Franklin H. Day of San Francisco,grand treasurer; Thomas H. Caswell ofSan Francisco, grand secretary; CharlesE. Stone of Marysville, grand chaplain ;Thomas H. Creswell, grand lecturer; EliT. Blackmer of San Diego, grand captainof the host ;Florin L. Jones of Pasadena,grand royal arch captain ;Samuel D.Mayerof San Francisco, grand organist; andJames Oglesby of San Francisco, grandguard.

In the Grand Commandery on Thursdaythirty-four subordinate commanderies, lo-cated as follows, willbe represented:

Two InSan Francisco and one each InSacra-mento, Sonora, Placervllle, Oroville, Nevadacity, Marysville. Stockton, Los Angeles, SanJose, Oakland, Cnlco, Susanville, Santa Rosa,Red Bluff, Ventura, Vallejo, Petaluma, Wood-land, Watsonville, San Bernardino, Colusa,San Diego, Visalia,San Luis Obispo, Riverside,Fresno, Santa Barbara, Pasadena, Yreka,Ikiah, Napa and Eureka, the last one beingunder dispensation.

The grand officers are:Sir Frank W. Sumner of San Francisco, grand

commander; Sir Ed 8. Lippitt of Potaluma,deputy erand commander; Sir Trowbridge H.Ward of Los Angeles, grand generallnsimo; Sir(icorge D. Metcalf of Oakland, grand captain-general; Sir Charles E. Stone of Marysville,grand prelate; Sir Robert M. Powers of SanDiego, grand senior warden ; 81r Robert H.Blossom of Red Bluff, grand junior warden:Sir John T. Merrill of San Francisco, grandtreasurer: Sir Thomas H.Caswell of San Fran-cisco, grand recorder; Sir R. Beverley Cole ofSan Francisco, grandstandard-bearer; Sir JohnGarwood of Stockton, grand sword-bearer; SirFrederick M.Miller of Fresno, grand warder;Sir Samuel D. Mayer, grand organist, and SirJames Oglesby, grand captain of the guards.

Mr. Caswell has been the recording offi-cer of these three grand bodies for a greatmany years. The Grand Chapter andGrand Commandery elected him to hispresent position in 1878, and the GrandCouncil chose him in1880. Itis the cus-tomary thing to re-elect the incumbent ofthis position from year to year until death.

The work ofthe grand bodies usually con-sists of the receiving of grand officers' re-ports, followed by proper segregation andreference to committees, the fast thingdone being the election of grand officersfor the ensuing year. Time-honored cus-toiri has added a social feature to the an-nual gathering in the way of a banqtiet,which invariably follows the conclusionof business.

A GHASTLY EELIO.A Human Skeleton Found Imbedded In

the Roots of a Tree.

Out. on the Fort Hamilton road there hasstood since long before the memory of thepresent generation an old dead tree over-looking the bay. Its age is a problem, andeven its death seems to have escaped thememory of the oldest inhabitant in the

vicinity. Last week workmen began exca-vating upon its site for a building, andwhen they had cut itdown and removed aportion of its roots a curious and ghastlysight was revealed. Imbedded in a fork ofthe roots, which had partially circledaround it,were a human skull and verte-bra1,attached to which were but three ribsand the left arm. The rest of the skeletonwas missing, say? the New York Pregs.

Through the skull, just back of the eyes,a bayonet had penetrated, going entirelythrough the head and protruding abouttwo inches. Lying near the hand was theframe of a flintlock dueling pistol, eatenwith rust, but with the charge still unex-ploded. The skull, as all such uncanny

things are. was ghastly and grinning.The ghoulish effect was heightened by theappearance of the upper jaw, a portion ofwhich had evidently been shot away.

The discovery was sufficient to collecta kuot of curious workmen, who examinedwhat was left of the skeleton with greatinterest. How it had come there in thatshape is a question that willprobably neverbe answered. Had there been a duel, abattle, a murder, or what?

"GladIdidn't meet that on the lonelyroad of a dark night," said one of thecrowd. "Guess, I'dhave sprinted."

Allday long the ghastly lind remainedon the bank of the excavation, as ifcuriousover the changed aspect of the landscape.Its presence made some of the workmenuncomfortable. They believed in spirits,and thought the thing might attract a bandof its associates. At night a workman,

Thomas Mack, an unbeliever in the un-canny, took it to his home on Seventhavenue. Itadorns his mantel-piece, whereits beauty is enhanced during darkness bytwo glowing orbs of phosphorescence.

CURRY'S LAST DISCOVERYThousands of Dollars Lost to

the School Fund byNeglect.

Valuable Estates Escape Paying theCollateral Inheritance

Tax.

County Clerk Curry says he has discov-ered another shortcoming in the admin-istration of his predecessor, M.C. Haley,whereby the Sta> has lost at least halfa million dollars, and probably more. Itis in connection with the inheritance tax ofthe probate department.

On March 23, 1893, a law was passed andapproved by the State Legislature estab-lishing a tax on collateral inheritance. Bythis law a tax of 5 per cent was placed onail bequests left to persons other than amother, father, brother, sister, wife orchild, to the husband of a daughter or thewidow of a son.

Therefore property left to an institution,or to a person other than thosenamed, must pay 5 per cent of the amountinto the school fund. The County Clerkmust keep a record of all such bequestsand make quarterly reports to the Treas-urer, who in turn makes his report to theComptroller of State.

Mr. Curry says that no reports weremade by his predecessor for nearly ayear, as required by law, and the onlyreports that were made at all are partialand incorrect.

So Mr.Curry has to put extra men towork to dig up the estates that escaped the5-per-cent tax.

Deputy Clerk Northrop has been work-ing on the books for some time, and hasdiscover^l much irregularity. He findsthat the J. C. Wilmerding estate owes theState taxes amounting to $40,000. TheMiranda Lux estate h;i3 escaped paying alike amount. There is $45,000 coming fromthe estate ofJose V.de Laveaga and $8000from Sigmund M.Thannhauser. Smalleramounts are due from the estates of John8. Doe and others, makine in all about$149,000 up to date, with the prospects ofthere being double as much more whenthe books have been thoroughly over-hauled.

"The tax on the estates that have notbeen reported," said Mr. Curry, "willamount to $500,000 at the lowest calcula-tion, and there is no knowing how muchbeyond that sum the discrepancy will go.The manner in which this department hasbeen run is only another indication of howloosely the affairs of the whole office havebeen administered during the last twoyears. Ipropose to make a fullinvestiga-tion of this whole matter and make theseestates that have been allowed to escapepaying all this money come to time.

"Ido not believe in running the office ona cheap principle and allow thousands ofdollars to escape collection. The law dis-tinctly states that reports of the values ofthese taxable estates must be made onceevery three months. This haß not beendone at all. There has been gross neglectsome place, and Ipropose to put the re-sponsibility on the right shoulders."
