POLITICAL FIAE STARTED Wesleyan Mission and Hospital, Containing 300 Persons, Seems Doomed to Destruction. QUIET REIGNS AT SHANGHAI By Astociated Prett. HANKOW. China, Nov. 4.

Almost the whole of the native city of Hankow Is afire this morning and it is feared that the Wesleyan Mission near the Han River in which are 60 blind boys and 150 wounded persons who, with the staff of the mission, make up a total of 300 persons, has been de stroyed.

A few hundred rebels against whom the imperialists are preparing to advance, occupy the un-burned parts of Hankow. FORTS SURRENDER TO REBELS WITHOUT FIGHT SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 4.

HOLLAND AMUSED BY EMPTY PROMISES Republican General Committeeman John Graeber Tells of Pledges for Good Roads Made by Supervisor Bangert "Supervisor Henry L. Banftert is reported to be arousing the mirth of the farmers of Holland try making a cnmpnlfrn for re-election, pnve.l with promises nf what fine new Rood roads he have built in Holland next year if ho Is only re eletted," said Republican General CommitteemaTi John Graeber of Holland today. "The funny part of it to the farmers is the fact that to their certain knowledge the Supervisors' good roads committee, of which Banuert is a uiembrr, knows thnt there Is no more Stale money available for the construction of good roads in Erie county. Thanks to former State Engineer Sitene, and to the septungenarian William H.

Catlin, whom Gov. Dix made chairman of the State Highway Commission, there is no more money In the treasury for new good. roads in this section. All that is available Is about $300,000, but this is consecrated to the repairs and maintenance of good roads already built. "The famers of Holland know that Supervisor Bangert knows this, for was he not a member of the committee which waited on Chairman Catlin last summer with iiroposltion that a new bond issue of $50,000,000 be asked by the Highway Commissioners? At that time only $6,000,000 remained In the treasury, of which It was asserted that Erie county would have no share.

It liavlhg already had more than its rightful whack. "What the farmers want to know is why Supervisor Bangert is bunk about improving the West Hills road and other roads when he is next to the actual financial condition of the State treasury."

The Hengerer one-week exhibition of Buffalo artists is something of a GodBend to Buffalo artists and Is a brilliant business proposition as well as a helping hand performance.

Art in the Public Schools. Mr. C. Valentine Kirby, president of the new Buffalo Public School Art Association and director of drawing In the public schools, announces that Prof.

Henry Turner Bailey, editor of the School Art Book, will deliver an address under the auspices of the association to the teachers and their friends at the Lafayette High School at 3:45 o'clock on the afternoon of Monday, Nov. 13. His subject will be, "An Enlightened Selfishness for Teachers." President Kirby pronounces him one of the most Inspirational speakers in America. President Kirby will address the teachers of the Buffalo State Normal School on Monday afternoon on home decoration. Every day the assistants visit the various schools to which they are assigned and help the teachers to Interpret the course of study.

The Mea of Director Kirby Is not to develop may be three or four artists among the pupils, but to do something for each one. The old days of drawing mostly geometrical solids or boxes is past. The course is full of life, reproductions of what the pupil sees around him. Art In Industry is emphasized. A commercial design course has been Instituted, and applied to millinery and dress-making for the girls, ami designs for printing and industrial work for the boys.

Home decoration is another point that Is given earnest attention. Pupils are not allowed to have home made a subject of ridicule, but unostentatiously it Is brought out that wall paper Is designed for a background and not for the purpose of harboring big red cabbage roses to Jump out and hit the unprepared In the eye; and that red-and-green vases and jugs are not as ornamental afteT all as some other inexpensive but plain pieces of pottery. Roses and lilies painted on the coalscuttle are taught to be uncivilized snd the turkey's trotter with a thermometer tied to it with a pink or blue ribbon 'becomes eventually to be regarded as a bit of bric-a-brac worthy only of the tepee of a Flathead Indian. Talks to the teachers of the upper grades and their transmitting these Ideas to their pupils effect revolutions in ideas of home decoration. Correlation of drawing with all of the elementary manual training work is another important feature of the course, making manual training more artistic anvl drawing work more practical, as Director Kirby expresses it How thoroughly the course In art instruction is laying the foundation of utility and beauty In the Buffalo public schools and disseminating them throughout the entire community through the pupils from the first grade to the vocational school and the Tech nical High School, is little realized by outsiders not Initiated into the work that is being done every day by Di rector Kirby and his assistants.

Miss Helen Horton, Alice Roth, Helen Al- gire, Adele Joslyn, Margaret Giesecke, Mary Hodgkins and Cornelia Fuchs. Director Kirby is of the opinion that it would be a revelation to many man now turning gray who remembers being switched for indulging a passion for art surreptitouBry behind Guyot's geography, to visit the public schools on drawing lesson hours and see wnat was a penal offense in his day lauded and encouraged. In the Studios. The Lars G. Sellstedt Studio, 78 West Mohawk street, has been for nearly half a century the center of art in Buffalo year after year.

In the spring when his birthday came or in the winter when holiday time en genders friendliness, Mr. Sellstedt's friends and the friends of his charm Ing wife made pilgrimages to the studio, which used to be all abloom and where many a birthday cake was cut and many a cup of famous punch was drunk to the health of the host and hostess. The studio has been left untouched since Mr. Sellstedt dropped his brush there last spring. His books are on the table where he leXt tUim, the ture has gone it is very beautiful and gives a rare presentation of a young mother grouped with her children Mr.

Beck models as well as paints and he has Just completed a bit of com mercial work In bas relief which is charming. Art in the Clubs. The Friday Culture Club enjoyed an art talk by C. Valentine Kirby, di rector of drawing in the Buffalo pub lie schools. The Friday Culture Club Is making a study of the Iliad this year, and Mr.

Kirby dis cussed It from the viewpoint of its in spiration to art, in a brilliant resume, of the poem and his own conclusions as applied to art. Mr. Kirby paid a high tribute to the Buffalo school 'system, particularly in its Introduction of art studies Into the elementary grades, saying that concentration was made a habit in childhood by centering hand and brain on one object. He draws attention to the color blindness of men as contrasted with that of women, saying in the audiences he had addressed he rarely found more than one woman color blind where a dozen men in the same audience could be found who could not distinguish colors.
