According to the rules of the club, the fifth highest nominee for the executive committee is entitled to a place on the Hoard of Directors, but as William Burnham and R. J. C.

At the meeting of the Board of Directors, he.d at 8 o'clock, the annual report was read.

It showed th'e club to be in excellent condition financially. Many improvements have been made In the club house during the past year, making It one of the most attractive in the city. The restaurant account showed a clear profit for the year of about Six exhibitions of painting and sculpture were held and were attended by 20.205 persons, exclusive of club members. Thirty-four pictures were sold from these exhibitions. There were four receptions, five lectures and two club smokers during the year.

An-addition of 500 books has been made to the library, which now contains 2,800 volumes. About 500 of the famous Claghorn collection of engravings, which was sold after the owner's deatli a few years ago, have been purchased by the club and placed on exhibition in its galleries.

"It is a most difficult thing," he said, "to criticise a painting or to convey instruction to an art student through the medium of words. I believe that all art instructors meet with this difficulty to a greater or less extent. With the exception of George Moore's 'Modern Painting, there are no books to be had which are suited to the students' needs.

Pictures themselves are the best books for the student, and by studying them carefully great benefit may be derived. It is all important that the student should enter an exhibition in a receptive frame of mind, entirely free from prejudice and unmindful of all outside affairs. There is no one kind of good art.

Impressionism, which is now fortunately on the wane, will leave its good effect. It wii! clear the air. Never before has an attempt been made to render sunlight and air, and some of the men have succeeded, while hundreds of others have but weakly imitated. Impressionism as been rather short-lived and has already spent itself. There is a new movement on now.

They call themselves the Tonists, and the people who joined the impressionists are now likely to go with The new movement has been established by Mr. Whistler. It Is probate that weak Imitators will be as plentiful as was the case with the Impressionists. It is to be hoped that they will profit by previous experience and do better, for the extreme is something awful. There are some examples by the Tonists in our present exhibition which have Just arrived from Paris.

If a picture appeals to you to the extent that you would like to own it, that is an indication of a particularly pleasing style. It is best to put off until the last a positive decision in regard to a certain phase or specialty to be taken up.

School yourself In the alphabet and grammar of art and leave all else until the time when you can more intelligently make the selection. Very many painters have made an early mistake In selecting what proved later on a wrong standpoint, and they are now producing a kind of thing for which they are illy fitted." Mr. Chase will give his next talk on Friday, February 5, at 4 P. and all art students and artists will be welcome.

Photographs will be admitted only when they serve to elucidate an accepted exhibit. It is particularly desired, when practicable, that all perspectives and elevations be accompanied by carefully rendered plans-of the same; and large scale drawings or details of some portions of the works, as well as models of architectural detail and sculpture, are particularly requested, it being the special object of this exhibition to show complete illustrations of individual, rather than a larger number of incomplete works. Elaborate rendering of all drawings Is highly acceptable, but not altogether essential, an exhibition of interesting works Inviting closer examination being the greater object.

The Flttsburg- Man Spoken of as Likely to be Secretary of the Treasury, Special Telegram to THE TIMES. Washington, January 0. John Dalzell, of Pittsburg, Is the only rennsylvaninu at present prominently identified with revenue affairs. He has attained an enviable position on the Republican side of the committee on ways aud means, and was spoken of for the chairmanship of that committee when the present Congress convened iu December, 1S05. His knowledge of revenue affairs would make him eligible for the office of Secretary of the Treasury, although the opposition of Senator Quay might prevent his selection.

At. any rate Dalzell Is to-day mentioned among Pennsylvnnluns as one likely to be next selected for that portfolio. It seems that McKinlcy is finding it exceedingly difficult to get a good man for that most Important place in his Cabinet. It has been declined by five men. It was first offered to Mark Hnnna.

South Bethlehem, January 0. A clever stranger, who has been In the Rethlehems fur the past few days, has suddenly decamped with several hundred dollars that he borrowed from easy citizens. The stranger gave his name as Harry Williams, of but to a choice few imparted the Information that he was Harry liethune, the great runner. He had arranged a race for next week with a Wilkesharre sprinter named Sherry. The race was to he a hundred yards for a purse of $5,000.

Williams was candid and admitted that he was a ringer ami would easily brat the Wilkesbnrre runner. A forfeit of SoliO a side was to be posted yesterday. Williams' money failed to come, but he exhibited a telegram from his backer saying $1,000 would be mailed to-day.

Is a good man aud a personal friend of McKinlcy, but he is not available, because John Sherman, another Ohio man, is expected to go Into the Cabinet as Secretary of State. Therefore, looking over the entire field of capable men, John Dalzell seems to be next in order. It is not claimed that the position has yet been tendered to him.

"I went to the meeting of the House on Friday, night with an avowed purpose. I knew that there would be less than a hundred Congressmen present, and that they would try- to rush through a lot of private pension bills. They were to open the flood gates of a raid on the Treasury, and I stepped them. I have been pursuing this line of policy for four years, and I know that I have saved the Treasury thousands of dollars. If I were to say hundreds of thousands you might think I was exaggerating, but in the aggregate that would be a correct statement, because the hundreds of dollars each year would run Into the thousands as the years go by.

There are more than 700 private pension bills on the House calendar, and 00 per cent, of them are without merit.

This reduction was made by the Board of Directors at its meeting to-day, and Immediately thereafter the announcement was made that dollar gas would be the prevailing price to all local consumers. The directors, when Interview to-night, denied that the threatened competition of Addicks had influenced them in making the reduction in gas, but contended that the cut in prices was owing to the desire to increase the nse of gas for illuminating, heating and cooking purposes, as well as to encourage its greater utility for power purposes.

They also say that they want to secure its more general adoption by manufacturers. While this is the explanation given by the directors for their action of the meeting yesterday, the general opinion prevails that the cut it the result of the persistent right of Addicks for control of the gas interests in Delaware. It is believed the directors are trying to head the gas man off aud therefore announced the cut iu gas to-day in order to defeat Addicks in his ultimate purpose.

A few minutes afterward Father McElvoy discovered that one of the four chalices belonging to the church was missing. Tho other three chalices were standing on top of the cabinet outside of the case in which they were kept. Father McElvoy immediately notified the police and a srareh was Instituted for the man whom Father McElvoy had seen In the sacristy, but no trace of him could be found.
