WOMEN'S EXPOSITION OF THE CABOLINAS, MINNIE HEBB KELLOGG, General Manager, BREAKING THE HOME TIES. This picture is the most popular painting ever exhibited by an Ameri can. It Is said that Mr. and Mrs. Har rison now value it at 150.000. It was painted by the late Thomas Hovenden, for the exhibition at the woncts jrair, where it attracted more attention from the masses than any other picture. Mr. Hovenden's picture has 'always brought good prices, he having placed a value of $10,000 upon this before it was Bn- ished. t Thos. Hovenden is a native Irishman, having been born at Dtmmanaway, in 1840. He came to this country In 1863, and has resided here ever since, save the time which he spent upon his studies in Paris. Mr. Hovenden was a man of fine personal traits, the man as well as the artist being depicted in every work that came from his brush. His "When Hope Was Darkest" has attracted much attention and tells a pathetic story of a sailor's life. It was first sold for $5,000. The art-loving world was shocked something like a year ago to learn of the sudden and tragic d?ath of the great artist. Obser- ver readers will remember the Incident: Mr. Hovenden was going from his Phil adelphia to his home in a neighboring suburb. At a point where the car line crossed a railroad track he saw a little girl al most under the wheels of an incoming " train. He rushed to her rescue and in saving her life lost his own. To his death is probably due the great in crease in the value of his . pictures. At the time of his death he was professor of painting in the Pennsylvania Acad emy of Fine Arts. THE PICTURE. Itself tells the simple story the pathet ic story of a young country lad teav ing home his country home for the city with its temptations. He is taller than his mother, who with her hands upon his strong, young shoulders and anxiety written in every line of her care-worn face is giving him a moth er's last admonition. His father, whip in hand, stands waiting at the door, while grandmother, sister and the dog, all seem to listen with deepest interest. The picture Is more than a sermon. . It has influenced the lives of hundreds of young men by calling them to the time when their mother gave them her parting admonition. Hundreds of peo ple will come to Charlotte to see this picture, which is now the work of dead master. MIXED PICKUE8. Animal Only Fifura la This Col No landscape or Flowers, Mrs. J. W.

She was greeted with a storm of applause after her last note, which lasted for some minutes, and which she acknowl edged by an appearance only. - The next number was Gounod's Gal lia, in which Mrs. Minnie Pish Griffin, formerly of Chicago, but whom Char lotte now proudly claims, made her first appearance. The solo work was taken by Mrs. Griffin, and most beau tifully rendered. The choral work in this number must have been a eouroe of pride with Prof. McCoy. . Prof. Griffin followed with a Polon aise by Weineoskl, which he rendered in his own faultess style. Mrs. Griffin accompanied ' him, and proved herself as much an artist In her fingers as In her throat. She played his accompani ments beautifully and with a style that bespoke her a most gifted woman. Her best work her chef d'oeuvre however, was "Les FUles au Cadix." by Delibes, one of a brace of numbers in part second of the programme. This afforded full scope for her beautifully cultured voice. Few artists sing with such ease as Mrs. Griffin. Ascending passages were taken easily and nat urally, and her pronunciation was one of the chief beauties of her singing. She is indeed a finished artist, her voice showing the beauty of Jffenb' cultivation, sweetness and purity. She was recalled alter ner every Miss Atkinson's rendition of Faust Walts, Lisst Gounod, was magnificent. She played it with all the dash and fire that it aamixs oi. n ouvc- ..-nta har fine execution..
