Hubert Herkomer Tells the Secret of His
Wonderful Success as ar Artist
Interview in New ork Graphic
II came to America only on a visit but
soon found there was work to be done.
regret, however, that went into harness so
soon shall return in two years, when l
shall give myself more leisure. | have
painted eight portraits in New York and
eighteen in Boston in thirty-six days work
ing from 8 to $50 each day, with three to
five sitters per day, but then | have been for
tunate in having my sitters always on time,
and not single disappointment. Yes,
have had grand success here and success in
portrait painting brings with it more joy to
the painter than success in any other form of
art.
''The portrait painter is open to much
wider field of criticism than the painter of
subject pictures since the discovery of photog-
raphy. Imperfect and mechanical as the
latter is, it is nevertheless a gauge by which
likeness can be measured so that the COM
monest mind can now trace the resemblance
of portrait to its original, which makes the
art of portrait painting more difficult one
than in the days of Rembrandt, Halls and
Reynolds. Reynolds painted childhood and
womanhood to perfection, but 1 suspect he
troubled himself as little with the likeness
as the sitter himself"
The reporter having remarked the versa
tility shown in the poses and general appear
ance of the dozen or more portraits he saw
in Boston, Mr.. Herkomer said that it was
partly accounted for in the fact that he never
posed his sitters, and preferred them to bring
their own chairs to his studio.
"In this way" said Mr.. Herkomer, II do
not destroy the sitters identity by placing
him in an attitude that is not his own by
force of nature. Then the chair, as the only
accessory is always more in harmony with
the subject than the orthodox one of the
studio Then l waste no time in seeking for
that which the sitter has not. 1 make no
artistic experiments on him, but do my very
best in every portrait to paint him as he is.
l have no difficulty in catching expression,
therefore no anxiety and consequently little
exhaustion"
The reporter speaking of the criticism of
brother artists that he would ruin himself
by trying to accomplish too much, he said:
''Rapidity suits the age, and the quicker a
portrait is finished the better the sitter is
pleased. But then | do all my portraits at
once, giving many months to other works.
l will have at the next academy two large
pictures, an Interior of Castle Garden and
the Charter House."
Mr.. Herkomer intends, on his return to
England, to build new house, for the con-
struction of which he has sent over So, 900
worth of American machinery; also large
art schools-and taking advantage of some
points" he has learned here in reference to
etching he proposes to prosecute this branch
of art, in which he is already a master, by
undertaking large compositions which were
heretofore deemed almost impossible.

last night at what hour this meal took place,
he said that when he and his wife were alone
they had no breakfast Al believe he has very
light rejection about and luncheon at H.
In the evening Mr.. Disraeh talked
to me very despondingly about
his wife's state of health. She
suffers he groaned, so dreadfully at
years, and she has never given me dull
moment. 1t was quite touching to see his
distress. His face, generally so emotionless,
was filled with look of suffering and woe
that nothing but the sorrow of her he so
truly loves could cause on that impassive
countenance."
"Uncle" Sam Ward is one of Lord Ronald
Covers fayorites. He was introduced by
Lord Rosebery, who wrote: "It is quite a
liberal education to know him, and it is
worth having gone around the world to be
rewarded with his acquaintance at TIE jour
ney's end" OF Mrs. Langtry Lord Ronald
Cover says: "At Frank Miles's studio met
a Mrs. Langtry nee LeBreton, who halls
from Jersey. She is certainly very lovely
woman and Frank is quite in ecstacies about
her, and declares that he with his pencil and
his friend Oscar Wilde with his pen, will
make her the Jocunde and the Laura of this
century"
His young Lordship called on Sarah Bern
hardt at her house in the Rue Fortuny. He
describes the house as a marvel of artistic
arrangement The half sitting-room, half
studio is quite a sight; full of precious stufs,
pictures, tapestries and statues" They Wis
tied the salon together one morning, where
Sarah, though plainly attired, attracted as
much attention as professional beauty in
an English gallery. They visited together
the studio of Alfred Stevens, and then re-
turned to Sarahs house for lunch. Even
Sarah requires food, and the pleasantest part
of that day was when, before a Widespread
table, with Sarah seated at the head of it in
high-backed chair, where she looked like a
living page out of some romance, we did JUS
tice to her cooks excellent viands and to
Sarah's remarkable cellar"
Lord Ronald Cover describes his visit to
America with Uncle Sam. Ward as his
guide philosopher and friend, and speaks
very highly of all that he saw over here par
ticularly of our civilization.

tected at this he desisted, grumblin5ly, and
only relapsed into silence after he had man
aged to borrow a "chaw" of ''hard stuff"
from the janitor. Seeming to become more
animated as he chewed, he lazily gathered
himself together and began seriously to con-
slider the propriety of beginning work. Be-
fore he had time to begin the fire-alarm

chief clerks stern mandate, he darted off.

Office boys will be office boys About
three months ago, | remember, one of them
became too much So and the chief clerk of
the establishment discharged him and en-
gagged boy to fill his place. He was meek
and gentle lad who occasionally visited the
office, and joy was felt when he accepted the
place conditionally upon his mother giving
her consent to the engagement. He was a
polite boy, always called the clerks ''sir"
when they addressed him, and actually
seemed to revel in doing office chores of all
descriptions. He had round, wondering eyes
like those of the infant Samuel in the en-
craving His conversation was as pure and
chaste as lesson in the third-grade reader
He was punctual as the sunrise He was
unique, and one of the clerks who was
known to be interested in the show
business was suspected of a design
to kidnap him for a dime museum.
After three mouths absence from the
office in question, [ revisited it yesterday.
The boy-no, the office boy-was there. He
had just arrived, and when one of the clerks
limited that such was the case he simply re-
quested him to cheese it Gully" and per-

TEwKsBURY AND THE GOVERNOR.

public charities, but not in this department

THE Tewksbury inmates" said he, "are
composed of the lowest class of society, most
of them foreigners. They are old people
and children, women, drunkards and
lunatics The difficulty of managing such
an incongruous set is apparent. The
treatment has been upon the whole

been exceptions on the part of the attend

should have them. Tanning the skins can

for Mr.. Marsh, and he wanted to make po-

"Will he run for office again?' l asked.
"Well," replied my friend, "there was a
