1. 1.1 Open Monday Evenings. i "HONOR AMONG THIEVES." How Tom Meyers' PalsJ Stuck to Him Until He Died An Escape and a Tragedy. Occasionally an incident shows up on the bobbin of time recalling or accentuating an old saying. In the woods of northern Illinois, the other day, something occurred which proved that there is "honor among thieves." An official from that state, now In Brooklyn on business, told a reporter of the Eagle the story.

Four prisoners broke from the Jail of WaivK kegan, the capitol of a county contiguous to the southern boundary of Wisconsin. One ol the prisoners had a black mark against him in nearly every city of the country. Even in: Brooklyn, where criminals have few reasons to congregate. Tom Meyers was known as a "smooth man in the confidence line, and in forgery." The escape of prisoners from the jail of a' small town is an exciting event, and In this case citizens joined officers In their pursuit and search, and bloodhounds, something unusual In the North, were turned upon the? trail. They were unsuccessful.

One of the prisoners was captured but not in the woods. He was found in the street in Chicago. The first question asked of him by the sleuths ol Chicago was: "Where is Tom Meyers?" The reply was short, "Dead." For a day or more that was all the captured man would tell, but when the sheriff from Waukegan went down to the western metropolis the prisoner talked to him. As the visiting official In Brooklyn remembers It the prisoner's story to the sheriff was like this: "The first day of freedom Tom Meyers was taken sick. He couldn't travel with us, but he was such a smart guy we couldn't leave him.

He had planned the escape. Then we" found a big pile of underbrush and into it. It rained pitchforks the first night, and poor Tom got worse. He was as tender as a spring chicken, Tom was, and the exposure told on him fast. He wanted us to leave him, but we told him we would stick to him as long as we lived, and if he was taken we would all go together.

We took off our coats and made him a bed. and one nlKht when the John L.Whalen. Axminster Carpet, por yard. Moquette Carpet, per yard. Tapestry Carpet, per yard.

Mr. Brown's Mare Has Taken to Drinking Water Prom a Glass Believes in Her Master. A. Henry Brown is the owner of a thoroughbred mare which was formerly the property of his father. John K.

Brown, of 181 Third avenue. While the animal has a reputation as a pacer and has a record of 2:30, she is also an especially intelligent animal and a personal pet in the family. One of her peculiar accomplishments Is that of drinking from a beer glass, though, true to her Prohibition tendencies, her beverage Is water only. The habit was acquired instinctively, and not through instruction. Mr.

Brown, senior, was one day drinking at a hydrant and the mare, which was running free in the yard, came over to him, and put her head down as if for a drink. Playfully he held the glass of water to her mouth. She curled her lip over it and did not let go until her head was away in, the air and the glass was drained. This was repeated until the contents of four beer glasses were drained. Since then she has conceived the desire for this method of quenching her thirst.

Now, when the glass is filled for her, she is asked first if she wants It, when she nods her head affirmatively and positively. She is asked each time before the glass Is offered to her and when she has had enough, which Is usually after the fourth glass, she nods her head in the negative. Babe, as she is called, is a great favorite In the family and has no fear of any of its members. Mr. Brown, before his death, used to take pleasure in advancing with a whip, as if to strike her, but she knew his love too well, and came forward fearlessly, taking up the different parts of her harness between her teeth, to have them placed upon her.

She is apparently proud of her accomplishments, and exhibits them readily before Mr. Brown's frien ds. She is the daughter of Red Anna and Del march, her sire having a record of He came from the famous Red Wilkes, through Harry Clay, father of Electioneer, who was sired by the great Hambletonian, he being from Ahdallah. So, in addition to her accomplishments, she can boast of a ftunous ancestry. Mr.

Brown would not sell her, she being especially prized by the family in memory of their father, aside from her personal traits. For fear that the story of her drinking habits might not be believed. Mr. Brown had her photograph taken in the act. of drinking from a beer glass.

The photograph Is herewith published. PBOOF POSITIVE. He Miss bashing must be a great favorite with the men in society. She Why do you think so? He Because the women all seem to detest her. Chicago News.

Parker was generally very helpful in and he served on many hanging committees. George Shipley has illustrated a story of much vigor recently, making some equally strong drawings for it. It deals with pirates and lawless characters generally. A very dramatic picture is where the mysterious pirate leader advances and overcomes the savages his men have landed among, displaying his occult power. There are much action and strength of drawing visible In these Illustrations.

Mrs. Langley Moore, who has recently moved into the Ovlngton Building, has been absent, making Tall studies, during the past few days. The artists in the Ovlngton Building now number Miss Bannister, Miss Sittig, Miss Sawyer, Miss Robinson, Miss Reid, Miss Fuller, Miss Mast, Mrs. Moore, B. Robertson, S.

Blerache, Alexander Locke, Robert Ed stroem and M. Farreli. Mr. Farreli, the artist who rented Miss Sit tig's studio during the summer, has taken one of his own on the same floor with his former temporary one. During the summer the large studio occupied by Miss Sawyer was made into two rooms, Mr.

Farreli renting the smaller. Mr. Rohlfe, the picture dealer on Fulton street, near Cambridge place, met with a serious loss In his gallery a few days since, by a leakage of water, occurring during the night. The gallery was found flooded on the next morning. Repairs have been made and the many fine pictures in the gallery arc now on exhibition as usual.

At the first meeting of the Brooklyn Art Guild for the present season it was decided to take the large room occupied last season by the Misses Hall and Stillman. It is expected to have talks by prominent artists, social meetings and receptions. A class will meet on certain days, with a model in attendance. On the 25th of the present month an exhibition of the work of the Central Sketch Club will take place; the summer work ot the club will be presented. Major Coughlin Is art director of this club, which is connected with the Young Men's Christian Association.

A number of interesting sketches will be shown. Edward Winham's water color of an August day near the well known Vlelght road (near the suburbs of Brooklyn) has been added to the water color collection of Mr. Elisha Mc Guire of Lefferts place. The aquarelle shows the effect of wind upon foliage, turning the leaves and bending the branches, and its effect also upon the cloud forms. The action is brisk, as shown in the picture, and the color is rich.

The Coughlin pictures have attracted much attention this week at Hooper's aquarelle room. The picture of a cascade emerging from a shady glen is of much interest. "Ripe for the Harvest," showing a rye field relieved against foliage and a blue sky spreading over the scene, is another aquarelle that is a favorite. C. Muller of the Park Slope has returned from New Jersey, where he had been summering.

Among the pictures brought back with him is one presenting an interior, with a young woman painting. The interior is well composed and the detail Is careful in drawing; the brush work has that characteristic excellence which has been noted in this artist's handling. Mis3 Maud H. Purdy is Bettled In her studio now for the season, having returned from Lake Waramang, Conn. She has been working recently on a large vase of original shape, putting a Bougereau group upon It, with Cupid flying over a landscape toward a beautiful woman.

Miss Purdy has several miniatures ordered and will make a specialty of such painting. Charles A. Burlingame has painted very little this autumn season, with the exception, of two landscapes from nature, done iu the Flatlands section. Both of these have been acquired by Brooklyn picture collectors for their walls, so that they will not be placed on exhibition. The date of the opening of the academy exhibition has been fixed for January 1, at the Fifty seventh street building, Manhattan.

There has been an Impression current for some time that this important exhibition would not be passed over, and It is welcome news to hear that dates have been set for It. The President put a good lead of history Into small compass when he said in a recent speech: "The United States has never repudiated a national obligation either to its creditors or to humanity."

Major Evan Johnson, of the United States volunteer army, who was recently promoted from the rank of captain, is a Brooklyn man. He has just started for the Philippines. Major Johnson Is a grandson of the Rev. Evan M. Johnson who used to preach in St.

John's Episcopal Church which stood on the present site of the Eagle Building. He is strictly a Brooklyn man, having been born and raised here. The major is but 37 years of age and joined the U. S. Army about Captain Evan M.

Johnson, Of the Nineteenth United States Infantry. sixteen years ago. It was due entirely to his attention to duty, his ambition and his merit that Major Johnson was so rapidly promoted. It was while In the United States Army that he reached the rank of a captain. During the late Spanish American war Major Johnson was sent to Porto Rico where he was assigned to many responsible positions.

Just before being returned to the United States he was in charge of a district on the island and had control of over 25,000 Porto Ricans. While serving in this capacity he was captain of the Nineteenth Infantry. Upon his return to the United States he was detached for duty at Camp Meade. There he again demonstrated his skill in handling men. The camp is scattered over the world famous farms of the late Colonel James W.

Young near Harrisburg, and Major Johnson was among the most capable officers who assisted in laying out the camp with water pipes and telegraph and telephone lines. Like Admiral Dewey, Major Johnson was never to be caught napping and is always ready for duty. He was notified one night that he was to prepare for duty In the Philippines. The next morning he was ready to start on the long journey. He Is a man keen of perception and is prompt in acting.

It was only about six months ago that he was promoted to the rank of major. He is now en route to Manila and will arrive there early next month. APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM. "I don't know about these shoes. They seem to feel all right, but I have never worn 4s." "They are not No.

Senator Proctor has been given credit In some quarters as "the man who made Dewey admiral." He would not be at all averse to being also known as "the man who made Dewey president."

Cleveland Plalndealer 1 66, his dogs in dispatching wolves; in fact, it would be hard to render service after the attack is made, because of the indiscriminate mixture of dogs and wolf.

He has several times been forced to use his weapon in self defense, for while wolves when not pressed will never attack a man except in packs, and the prairie gray wolf is not so numerous as to form manv packs in Western Nebraska, oc casionallv a hard pressed wolf will turn on bis pursuer, as If to die facing his enemy. This was I ne case a few days ago over in Box Butte County, where Watson was eu gaged in exterminating a number of big gray wolves which had killed and eaten several reung heifers. His pack had started a wolf. was far In advance of their master, when suddenly a huge gray wolf, which had evidently been asleep in the rank underbrush until disturbed bv the wolf hunter's horse, sprang upon Watson. The animal buried his claws into the side uf the horse and his fangs Into the rider's leg.

He was one of the largest beasts of the kind Watson had ever seen, and the suddenness of the attack gave the animal a distinct advantage. The attack was made from the right side, and the only weapon the wolf hunter carried beneath the body or tne terocious Drute. tvsunn struck the animal repeatedly across with his milrt. Then he thrust his 1 hand down under the growling wolf to secure ills pistol. Instantly his arm was seized by the animal and the skin torn from his wrist.

Watson reached over and grabbed pistol hio i. rr hnod. The wolf still nan nis thp time Watson's horse niunsins over tho prairie and screaming This made the rider's aim Four times he fired at the wolf, and bad but one bullet left. Blood was streaming from his lacerated arm and leg. the horse vas covered with blood and the wolf was bleeding pro fufely.

With an effort the wolf hunter thrust his revolver into the mouth of the wolf and, at the risk of blowing off his own arm, fired the remaining shell In his pistol. The wolf's head was shot nearly off and the body dropped on to the prairie. Weak from loss of blod Watson climbed down, tied up his wounds, and. throwing the body of the fierce animal across his horse as a trophy of the desperate battle, started for home, ten miles away. He was in a precarious condition when be reached home.

The heavy leather covering he had over his limbs alone saved his leg from being almost torn to pieces. Wai on declares that this was the most ex citing experience of his entire career. The wolf was a female, and. Watson thinks, must have had some young in that locality or she would not have fought so desperately. The animal weighed eighty six pounds and was capable of carrying awny a large calf.

Most or the animal'! the wolves kill are not eaten, but their blood Is sucked and their carcasses left to rot. Watson, the wolf hunter, has thinned them out so much In the past few years that he has about worked himself out of a job.

Probably the only remaining wild beast hunter in Nebrasha lo tlay. a survival of the pioneer days, is Peter A. Watson ot Omaha, who has just fliHtinuishea himself by killing a great wolf in a hand to hand rnii'.

with a s.na;l revolver as his only wvapon. Wat Bon is a woK hunter, ami it is prowess is lfer'gnizcd by tin; Nebraska Live Stock Associaiion, which employs him annually, on a salary, to wolves on the range, and thus prut young cattle. For ten years has been on the pay roll of this association, and lias killfl ou an average of 400 big gray wolves annually. Of late the catch has dropped down to less than 200, but for the first few years of his occupation as wolf hunter for the association Watson killed as high as 500 wolves. In this pursuit he has ridden his horse through the whole of Northwestern Nebraska, and has enjoyed many stirring advent lie is the only man in the slate to day who makes his living regularly by slaying wild beasts.

This class of men has been gradually disappearing from this state, driven further west by the advance of civilization. Trapping used to furnish occupation for a large number ou the streams cf the western part cf the state, but all ot that numerous clans or' dare devils have been Bwept further into the mountain fastnesses by the farmer and stockman. I'robably Peter Vatson will not be able to earn his salary many more years, so rapidly are the ferocious gray wolves disappearing from Western Nebraska. The man and his methods are equally curious. "Watson a tall, athletic frontiersman, past 55, but as ei cct as an Indian.

His father, Joe Watson, was a famous Nebraska hunter, and shut buffalu with Bill Cudy fur the rail read company when the Union Pacific was pelting itii nose across the continent. He was killed in a wolf chase at Sidney several years ago. Peter Watson has rather a contempt for that hardy class of frontiersmen who made their living by trapping, and nothing makes him more angry than for someone to mistake him for a trapper. He does all hi.i hunting on horseback, with a pack of fine stag houndu. These dogs he breeds for his own use, and always use six of them in his hunting.

He alway.s ready to take to the saddle, and his methods of conducting a hunt of extermination are peculiarly his own. Watson rides into the section where the wolves are reported to he killing young stock, and. with his dogs, jogs along until a wolf is sighted. He carries a powerful field glass, and is constantly sweeping the surroundings with it. In this way he frequently se.

the wolves before tuey see him. If the game is oif and away, Wauot: simply notes carefully the general direction taken; then he swings his pack around behind a hill, drops out of sight, only to reappear ahead of the game, on to which he rides with a rush. the dogs take up the chase. The wolf seldom holds out. for more than a mile; sometimes a particularly strong animal manages to run two miles before the hounds overhaul him.

The pack works together. If they did not they would not last long, as the average gray wolf can kill, in relays, any pack of hounds that ever attacked him, for the gray wolves of the West are stronger than any dog and their teeth are long and sharp, while their claws are very dangerous weapons. But when the "Watson trained pack Jump on a wolf that is the end of him. They fight together ami seldom get more than a scratch. They follow the wolf closely and attack him all together.

Such a fight lasts but a minute or two. Mr. Watson, in all his experience as a wolf hunter, has never found It necessary to aid IN LOCAL STUDIOS. Miss Josephine Culbertson has returned from her summer cottage at Santa Cruz Park in the Catskills. She has brought numerous studies home, showing the characteristic scenery of the region, the studies to be shown in coming exhibitions, probably.

An aquarelle presenting a corn field with pumpkins growing between the stalks was a picture which Miss Culbertson showed in a recent exhibition of the Water Color Society. Alice Wadsworth Stone has returned from the country, having spent the summer near Richfield Springs. She has painted in oil a number of sketches. One shows the autumn foliage along the banks of Hatche's Lake, and gives an excellent idea of the form and tint of groups of maples. A Thomas B.

It may be that they will bo held every two months this season, Instead of every month. Miss Johnson, vice president of the Brooklyn Society of Mineral Painters, has returned from Santa Cruz Park, among the Catskills, where she has a cottage. Miss Johnson has made a number of sketches, and returns with many flew designs for mineral painting.
