One of the results of this spurious caricatur-

consequence Of the first good caricature being
copied by the would-be caricaturists Horace
Greeley and Benjamin F. Butler have served
for such targets oftener, perhaps, than any other
good caricature of either is even seen. Even
good caricatulist cannot make a good carieature
unless he studies the original, any more or even
less than good portrait can be made from an
other portrait, for the very reason that good
caricatureis a better likeness even than theme

Nasty converted to Prohibition.

General Neal Dow.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Lecke, of The Toledo
Blade came here expressly to see for himself
the actual state Of the liquor traffic He was
strongly preiudiced against prohibition, and fully
expected to find an open liquor traffic here His
explorations were extensive and minute. and he
made inquiries of all sorts of people. He found
liquor dens here hidden away in dark places
down cellars and in attics; arrangements pre-
pared to smash the bottles two or three of them
in ALI if the sellers should rush inupon them
If the officers could seize eyena spoonful or half
spoonful it would be 500 and costs and six
months in Jail at hard labor; but il the last drop
were spilled no fine no jail
I accompanied Mr. Locke to two large manu-
featuring villages with about four thousand peo-
pie each One of them had great mills of cotton
woolen silk, flour, iron, saw-mills and many
other industries. We called upon the manager
of the largest cotton establishment, who said:
''There is no liquor traffic here-at least 1 think
so. hear nothing of it. and see no Indication of
it. If there were liquor sold here, I should GER
tainly hear of it and see indications of it."
Mr.. Locke said 'In Ohio, such a town as
this would have forty licensed saloons, besides
an unknown number not licensed" The other
village was devoted to paper-making-th largest
establishment of its kind in the world. There
was no liquor selling there, nor suspicion of it.
Mr.. Locke said: I'm Ohio, such % place as this
would have at least forty licensed saloons lam
converted to prohibition"

Irving was shown the clipping and asked if he
believed that any actor ever lived capable of ex-
citing, by simple recital Of the Lords prayer,
such emotion as was described II am bound to
say that 1 don't, he replied 'It is quite in
credible. There isn't any such amount of in
SEPARATION in acting, or imp2essibility in an audi
ence. Besides, the matter recited was extremely
familiar to the ministers and that fact would
make the task of stirring them with it all the
more difficult If a recitation is to make any
body weep; it must present picture of woe or
tell moving story. The Lords Prayer recited
as an elocutionist's exploit, could not possibly
serve that purpose; and should be inclined to
think that sense of sacrilege might easily be
the feeling that it would excite in pious minds.
At all events, were the greatest actor on earth,
/ should not care to undertake the feat" Com
menting on this matter the Baltimore American
declares that Booths relatives and intimate
friends have pronounced the story absurd.

The Centennial of Methodism.


1t is not to be expected that an institution pos
sessing the members wealth and influence that
belong to the Methodist Church will permit the
Tooth anniversary of its founding III this new
land to pass unobserved, and consequently the
year upon which we have entered will be one of
unusual interest to the members of that populous
and popular denomination. Although the first
American Methodist society was organized in
New York in 1865, the general conference organ
ization of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
this country took place in Baltimore in Decem-
Der, 1874. Nearly year must elapse, therefore,
before the appropriate date for concerted OBJ
servance of their American origin by Metho-
dist churches all over the country, yet from va
rious pulpits the minds of congregations were
directed on last Sunday to the approaching
century has been something phenomenal
Starting with little but its own enthusiasm
and the general dislike of other denominations,
it has grown to have $500, 900 adherents in the
United States, and owns church property valued
at $40, 600, 600. Thus about one in every sixteen
OF our papulation-men women, and children
is a Methodist, which is very large proportion
when consider how great portion are Cath
olics, and also how many are denominat1onally
nothing. This wonderful vitality has been a
justification of their faith, to which Methodists
could point with considerable confidence and
qualification. The Methodist Church has doubt
less done a work which no other contemporaries
Gus denomination would have done as well, and
in making up its report for the century it may
be expected to indulge in little self glorifcation,
more perhaps than may be deemed consistent
with the largest degree of spirituality and Chris
tan humility. But in no denomination is there
so little human-nature that no account will be
made of a prosperous and progressive record.

A Fountain in Winter.

T. W. HigginSon, in 's0ut-Doo Papers"
Near my house there is a garden, beneath
whose stately sycamores fountain plays Three
sculptured girls lift forever upward a chalice
which distils increasingly fine and FLASHING
rain; in summer the spray holds the maidens in
a glittering veil, but winter takes the radiant
drops and slowly builds them up into shroud
of ice, which creeps gradually about the three
slight figures; the feet vanish the waist is en-
circled the head is covered the piteeus uplifted
arms disappear, as if each were vestal virgin
entombed alive for her transgression They
vanishing entirely. the fountain yet plays
on unseen; all winter the pile of ice
grows larger, glittering organ pipes of
congelation add themselves outside, and
by February great glacier is formed, at
whose buried center stand immovably the patient
girls. Spring comes at last. the fated prince, to
free with glittering spear these enchanted beau
ties the waning glacier, slswly receding lies
conquered before their liberated feet and still
the fountain plays. Who can despair before the
iciest human life, when its unconscious symbols
are so beautiful

Graduation by Proxy,

And, speaking of Cambridge, reminds me that
q singular fraud has lust been unearthed at
Harvard It was found that in the present fresh
men class were two students who had hired some
one else to pass the examinations for them. The
particulars of one case were told me. and posi-
bly, the second is only an addition made by ru-
NOR to the truth This young mans father,
himself a Harvard graduate hired a man, also
an alumnus TO take his sons examination The
deception would seem to be so easy that it is
strange it has not been tried before, as indeed,
it may have been. In the present case the stu
dent could not be expelled as, not having passed
his examination, he has never been a member of
the college 1t is a disgracefu affair in any
aspect, and one which illustrates the difficulty
of managing university.

A Good carieaturist Is Good Artist.

Frank Beard in February Manhattan.
Owing to the fact that the result of the carl
eaturists work is to provoke mirth, there is a
general disregard of the value of that work in
its artistic character. Every good artist may
not be caricaturist, but every good carieaturist
must of necessity be a good artist. A failure to
apprehend this fact has led to general misun-
Outstanding as TO what a caricatlre is
In the first place there are many whose mis-
fortune it is to have miseonceived their voca-
ton, and who at length find themselves unskill-
full artists They fancy that they can succeed in
caricature, if in no other branch of art, and con-
sequently a great many nis-called caricatures
are produced. This results in confusion on
the part of the general public, who do not sus
pect the necessity for distinguishing
between the genuine and the spurious,
and who, while properly approaching
less are prone to make general classification of

Didn't Like Her style.



Stories of the recently deceased Greek master
at Harvard College are the latest thing out. F"
One of these is particularly delicious to many
tastes since it hits rather hard upon lady who
isreally very learned as well very witty, while
in outward semblance she is a giddy woman of
the world 1t was after a small dinner party
that it was discovered that all in the room save
Professor Sophocles and this lady, Mrs D., were
about to play whist. Neither the gentleman nor
the lady understood the game, SO the hostess,
approaching the Professor, said I'VE are all
going to play whist if you don't mind, you
know and / am going to introduce you to Mrs
d., and you can talk to her while we play.p AS
she spoke they advanced to Mrs. d.
''EIemw said the Greek, as he closely scanned
the lady for moment, II would rather go

prevailed upon TO stay and find out his mistake.

luexcusable errors gave yesterdays game
to the Fort Wayne club. However, it was
one of the most interesting and exciting
contests that have been seen at the Mime
apoGs park. The fielding of the home team
was particularly brilliant, as the double plays
will attest. Kinzie, Andrus and Casey did
as handsome ball playing as one needs to
see. In the three double plays that were
made Kinzie's hand played an important
part. He is charged with his usual error, it
is sad to relate, yet that error cost nothing.
He threw the ball over Isaacsons head aud
let the runner make thi<d base. but he was
called out there for running home without
having touched third. Nichols errors were
costly. In the seventh inning-all previous
innings having been blanks-Casey made
clean hit, stole second and scored on Neil
waine's base hit. Then kinzie sent an easy
grounder to second baseman and was retired
at first. MeEIwaine meanwhile had been
thrown ont st second By the right fielder, and
Murray batted foul fly to the first bsseman.
1t was in this inning also that the visitors
made their first run Brown was thrown out
at first by Andrus, and Smith went 10 the

first base on seven bad balls. On passed

bulls did not expect to see reached until fall,
while many were willing to coneede the
