two hours this afternoon, being de-
voted exclusively for the third time

The two last named being listened to
with especial close attention. At the

taken on the motion to reconsider the
vote by which the nomination was
rejected Thursday. The motion was
lost by vote Of twenty-five to nine

Gerome ON Modern Art.

The famous French artist, Gerome,
contributes the following IN an article
on himself in The Century: "You ask
me about my method of teaching. 1t
is very simple, but this simplicity is
the result Of long experience. The
question is to lead young people into
a Straightforward, true path; to pro.
vide them with a compass which viii
keep them from going astray; TO
habituate them TO love nature (the
true), and TO regard 1t with an eye at
once intelligent, delicate and firm,
being mindful also Of the plastic side.
Some know how TO copy thing and
will reproduce 1t almost exactly;
others put into it poetry, charm,
power and make Of it a work of art
Tho first are worlSmen; the second are
artists. An abyss separates the mason
from the architect.
To-day, in this epoch Of moral and
intellectual disorder, there seems to be
sovereign contempt for those who
seek TO elevate themselves, to move
the spectator, to have some iinagina-
ton; for those who are not content to
remain fettered to the earth, dabbling
in the mud of realism. 1t is today the
fashion TO which all the world sacri-
fees, because it is only granted TO a
few 10 have we'll balanced mind, and
because it is easier TO paint three fried
eggs than TO execute the ceiling Of the

Walking the Baby.

II is said that one of our well known
citizens who has been blessed with
son and heir, and whose bloodshoi
eyes and sleepy appearance in the
mornings is not the result of nights
dlssi patton, was persuaded TO 90 to the
dime museum last week to take look
at Chaska's papoose. He appeared
very much interested, and ventured te
ask the Indian who walked the baby
at night. Chaska, with a grunt of in.
dignation at the idea of such ques
ton, briefly answered, "Squaw." Then
noting the visitors surprise, deigned to
ask who walked the pale face baby.
The happy father confessed that it was
the usual thing for him to do it. Cora
Fellows brave looked at the man, and
with a half grunt to himself, "heaI
big fool, walked away, and the citi
zen, thinking of his last nights ex.
periences and those in store, said that

Ia the territories have sufficient INTEL
ligen'e and integrity to govern thems
selves. This has never been shown
by other Presidents and is largely due
to the Presidents experience on the
senate committee on territories.
President Harrison does not believe
that the people outside of the territo-
ries should be put In possession of the
control of federal matters in territories,
and he is working diligently to per-
init that class Of people who have
heretofore been deprived Of their fran.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION IN MAR
TINS FERRY.


TINS FERRY.
The people of Martins Ferry have been
treated to a peculiar industrial exhibition
that is fraugbt with lessons. The articles
displayed were both numerous and care
folly constructed, but the peculiarly lies
in the fact that thay are the handiwork Of
public school pupils, outside OF school
hours The idea which eliminated in the
maQu idcent exhibition Of the last three
days originated in the fertile brain Of
Professor SPARKS. and his application Of

primary purpose wac to make The schools
more attractive and secure more regular
attendance. The children we're allowed to
select their own lines of work, regulate
their hours OF employment aud were only
required to report their daily progress to
their instructors.
The system is a modified apphcltion OF
