Ugliest CITY in the Union.

San Francisco is probably the ugliest
city in the union, despite her beautiful
surroundings, her ideal situation, her raw
ishing water view. Nature has supplied
her with charms galore, but on her face
the reforming hand of man has left
heavy. hideous marks. Her architecture
is nightmare of gray and wooden hor-
rors; her houses lack both paint and dig
nifty and are huddled together, separated
by the omnipresent, ultra ugly, all-pre-
serving fence A tall, wooden fence has
il obvious use in rural districts, where it
protects the grounds and gardens of the
residents from the unwelcome incursions
of rowing cattle. but it is many year
since kline and swine have been permitted
to gambol about the San Francisco streets,
and there is neither sense nor beauty in
the large wooden structures which sur
ronnd the lawns and parterres of every
second house in San Francisco.
Eastern cities have long since aban-
doned fences, except in some cases, where
u low, lace like. iron railing Is substituted.
and one can ride miles through the beau
tifui boulevaris of Chicago. Cincinnati.
Detroit, or Boston without seeing a fence
of any description. There your grounds
are separated from your neighbors' only
by low, stone coping. and the lovely ex-
panse of green and flowers stretches away
indefinitely. unmarried by the painted ex-
crescences which render our streets as
lugubrious as the shadow of convent
walls, which neither adorn nor defend,
but successfully conceal the really beauti
full lawns which lie behind their aged
hacks.-San Francisco Post

We call upon the citizens of Topeka

Missouri river TO Wichita, through

come within hundred miles of To-

any good reason for thinking it will.

Southern Kansas is a land of fruit
and flowers. The orchards every
where; every farm has its peach or
chard of five, ten, fifteen or twenty
acres; they are perfectly healthy,
know not the blight that comes to the
famous orchards of Michigan and
Maryland, and grow a connoisseur.
Apples are doing well. pears are fine.
the apricot, almond and nectarine
flourish; the grape is as
much at home as On the
Pacific slope. never saw a country
where fruits came into bearing or any
more easily grown than here. Flowers
are as universal as reaching savannahs
The southern prairie is the great Gods
conservatory, and blossoms into beau
ty from April to the golden October
days. The wayfarer passed with de.
lighted sense over leagues of bloom
and breathed an atmosphere as balmy
and sweet with odors az the "Garden

nation of individuals who would have
the power to sell out to the Santa Fe
or to sell on: in its interest. Now
that is just what Wichita wants. All
that the EAGLE has said has been in
that direction. If Wichita can't lay
her goods down at Harper at cheap
er rate than would be offered by line
directly in the interest of the road
which already reaches Harper. then
We wouldn't give much for such a
road, whether Harper would or not.
With five millions of dollars pledged,
beyond any question pledged-to con-
struct the Chicago, st. Joseph and Fl.
Worth road, generally known as the
c. Wood Davis road, makes that
scheme probmatical or uncertain.
Then how much greater must be the
uncertainty of the Wichita, Harper
and Kiowa scheme, which has not a
dollar st its back, and not only that,

declaring now that SO far as he is
concerned he will have nothing more
to do with it. AS for the COMMITTEE
of Twenty" they have the evidence
that the Davis road will be put
through as rapidly as men and money
can put it through.
The EAGLE does know more about
the Wichita, Harper and Attica
scheme than it has made public, and
just because of that knowledge did we
warn the Harper people to look out.
Time will tell whether the EAGLE
has been working for the best inter-
ests of Harper and Wichita in this
matter, and it seems now that time
alone will tell. We bide it.

WIFE RE "sNlDEn PICTURES ARE MADE
How the specialists" in Art Begin Their
Work-Les. Progressive Firms.

Work-Loss Progressive Firms.
The pictYre-makers are yariously located
in rented rooms, and any number on
the top floor of studio buildings. In one
street loft the canvas is bought by the bolt
and hung on a stretchcr the whole length
of the room After the cloth has been
chaiked into the desired sizes and the ma
ture of the composition decided upon, the
specialists" begin; and, by the time the
last has made the length. the whole
stretcher is lined with works of art. The
canvas is then cut and mailed" and when
the "minutiaman' has made his rounds
and the paint is dry, the goods are ready
for the market
In less progressive firms the canvas is
mounted or stretched first, and then as
sailed in the usual way, one man throwing
in the trees, another the sky, third hack
ground and the fourth or last man put
ting in the details When figures are in
demand there are "headers," trunk
ers," and "leggers,' the second art
list being responsible for the ana
toiaical accuracy of che work and
the leg man" for the drapery, etc.
Interiors are done on the same cooperative
plan, and, in the present rage for fruit

or disk and another fellow puts in the
berries or oranges. Fruit-makers are
varied as nature herself, and the man
who can "lay i'm the last orange or banana
is several degrees better than the small
fruit painter.
In trade the demand for figures 10
seventy-five per cent. less than for land
scape, and the reverse is the case i'm the
lofts, good figure sketchers being in de
mand for periodical and newspaper work,
and trifie too high-priced for the manu-
facturers Little or no significance is
attached to mans originality, rs copies
are wanted and not originals.
The finishing stroke is done when the
picture is signed, and some very nice dis
elimination has to be made in order to
cheat the law and mollify the buyer.
Copies are made Of real master works in
tentionally modified by the omission or in
PRODUCTION of some unimportant feature,
and these botches are actually signed with
the artists name, a letter or two being so
perverted as to serve as a defense in
forgery charge.-Inter Ocean.
