ANNUAL INCOME OF ARTISTS.


What the Painters OF Pictures Receive
From the Statistics.
Some Of our local artists. | hear, are
disposed TO make fun of the recent en-
deavor of Col. Wright, chief OF the
bureau OF statistics, to discover whether
art as an industry is profitable to those
who follow it. Col. Wright some time
ago addressed a communication to a
number of Boston artists, asking them
how much money they received a year
from the sale of their pictures: how
much they received from other sources,
in the way of teaching. etc; What it
cost them to live. and a lot OF other
questions calculated to throw light on
the problem to be solved.
A good many OF the artists thought
the questions were rather impudent. and
declined to answer them at all. why
should we tell all we know about our
private businessl' they asked; would q
lawyer, or a doctor, or an architect, or
other professional man publish just how
much he received every year. and just
how much his expenses amounted tor
Tney trow not. Nevertheless, n score or
two of the artists answered some of Col.
Wiight's oonundrums. and OF these the
five most successful give $1,000 as their
annual income, but the greater part of
this sum, they say. they receive from
teaching private pupils or in the art
schools. which is hardly what was sought
to be ascertained. There are n good
many artists in Boston whose income
from the sale of their own pictures. or
from commissions for portraits, con
siderably exceed each year the highest
figures sent to Col. Wright, although
Just now their income may be rather be-
low the mark, rs all the artists have been
complaining of an unusually bad season.
People seem to be feeling too poor to buy
pictures. or. at least, they said they were.
Quoting further from Col. Wright's
statistics, | find that three of the artists
received all the way from 81, 800 to
49,. 900. chiefly from illustrating. The
annual incomes of thirty-one others
range oil the way from $500 to ~. 800.
ten falling below $1,000, thirteen rang
ing from $1,000 to 1900, six from
81. 800 to -, 900, and two above So, 900.
The figures as TO the annual living ex-
penses of the artists are rather funny,
and, if any reliance is to be placed on
them; they seem to show that artists are
somewhat less ~extravagant in their
habits than they are generally credited
with being. Thus two of these artists
say they live on 800 "A year; two get
nlong with $3.50 each; one spends 1914
another S103; another $500. and another
$3.50. Thirteen spend $1,000 and up I,

EXPECTATION,

Between the sunset aud the sun
Night SAUNDERS on the sleeping bars,
Ard through Its curtain, one by one
CLEAN tender glances OF the stars
Between the sunset and the sun
And so between my loves lips lies
An untold message meant for me;
Whether 7 will bring M sweet surprise
Or dole or doubt or Paradise,
Is known alone TO destiny.
Yet, as | wait, u dream of tears
Between her eyelids and her eyes,
A mystery OF mist appears,
That hints of hope and fiatters fears;
And on her lips a burst OF signs,
And on her lids erred that dies
To slumberous shadows that fall and
rise,
TIL. as | seek some sign to see,
Between her eyelids and her eyes
Love lights his lamp and laughs at me.

vited conferences of the business
men from points most effected ny

vinced that they are working in a
:, init of fairness to all parties. The

of Trade Of this city, give testimony
OF having received the kindest con-
sideration at their hands, and IN
asking for q fair rate these com
miltees have always consulted the

them injured as they were to secure
equitable rates for this city. All
they ever asked for Meridian was
that il should he placed upon a
parity with Mobile and New
Orleans, so far as rates were con
cerned: trusting 10 the cheapness,
nearncss to their customers, and
facilities for handling to enable them
to retain the trade when once secur-
ed. In asking This they felt sure
that the road would not be injured.
as the haul to the points mentioned
was much longer Now that the
supervisor law has been declared

! preme, it would seem To be wisdom
on the part of the freight agents to
/ meet the commissioners in a

take into cosideration the fact that
| the State of Mississippi has been,
tor long years, pouring her wealth
into cities outside of her limits and
that is but right that her transport
! tation lines should Lot discriminate
against her. Antagonism against

in puerie and weak minds, and we
| feel sure that conferences with the
general managers Of The railroad
| through the boards of trade, will be
productive of much good, as THEN
/ subordinates often abuse the power
vested in them. We can speak au-
lhoritatively of the Board Of Trade
of THIS city in saying that they are
all men of enlarged and liberal
views and recognize the fact that
the railroads are as important tC
them as they are TO the railroads
and that there should be the kindest
reciprocal relations existing be
tween them. These great thorough
fares are often controlled by men oil
contracted views who are Influenced
more by their personal prcjudices
and preference than by desire to
build up the cities along their lines
