ton was considered great honor. Desir-
ing special study he went abroad, and has
since studied at Dresden, Heidelberg, Ber-
lin and Vienna.

John RUSkIN.

Dispatches from England state that we
may any moment expect to hear of the death
Of John Ruskin. He is over 70 and his health
for some years has been precarious. Seven
years ago he was compelled to give up lee
turing and to conine himself to writing
materials for history of his times. His
Old-time vigor long ago deserted him.
RuSkin is one of the few men who
achieved the highest rank in letters with
out having been in any sense a creator.
He never arrived at being anything more
than a critic. But he lived to show The alb
su rdity of the old adage that criticism is
easy and art difficult. Such criticisms as it
was given TO him to pronounce laid down
laws for art which its professors. despite
their protests, we're compelled at last to
obey. He was born with an intuitive sense
of truth and nature in art, as opposed to
mannerism and tradition, and he gradually
imposed his views on the artistic world, so
that at last his mere word had the force OF
law.
1t has been said that he created Turner.
That is not the case. Turner evolved his
art out OF his natural sense Of truth; but
people might not have appreciated him for
century II Ruskin had not taught the pub
iie 'h"t ne was flght and his critics were
wrong. His Modern Painters" was a
shccK 10 the settled principles of art, as
they were understood half century ago.
and correct painters and critics exhausted
the language in deDunciations of the nm
start who thought he knew better than anv
one else. But now no one thinks of con.
tradeting The canons which he laid down.
just as the writers on art, who forty years
age never ceased to make merry over the
iron chain in Turner's "Slaye Ship" which
appeared to float on the waves, now con-
TESS that there must have been an minutes
imal moment Of time when that chain did
seem TO float, SO colorists now admit that
the gorgeous iridescence with which Tur-
ner and DelacroiX produced their effects is
true to nature, though at close inspection
it looks like a mere blur.
What Ruskin did for painting in his
Modern Painters" he did for architecture

The Worlds Fair Convention Growing IN
Interest.
The Worlds Fair Convention, which will
be held in Metropolitan Hall on September
18th. is growing in interest, and Secretary
Haynes, at the Merchants Exchange yes
terday, added the names of more societies
and delegates to his roster, as follows:
Geographical Society of the Pacific San Fran

Delos Arnold. President of the Pasadena
Academy of Sciences, in communication
desires to know whether any arrangements
have been made for reduced rates of fare
for delegates to the convention. On this
subject Secretary Haynes had already had
correspondence with the Southern Pacific
Company, and was offered a reduction of
one-third. The matter will be taken up at
a meeting of the Executive Committee, to be
held shortly.
A correspondent in Chicago makes the
suggestion that delegate from Chicago be
present at the San Francisco Convention,

in his "Stones of Venice" He applied TO
both the plain. simple principle that true
art is copy of nature as it is, not as what
artistic tradition declares that it ought to
be- The fruits of his teaching are seen IN
works whose authors had no idea that they
were his disciples. They can be traced IN
such masterpieces as Vereschagin's "Resur-
recti on" and Munkaczy's Christ Before
PLATE" though neither of these great men
probably ever read line of his books.

The Print Cloth shut Down.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug 2-The state
menl that the mills had decided to shut
down on Monday is incorrect. The agree
ment as signed by all the mill treasurers
simply provides for a stoppage for six days
without any clause binding them to any
particular date. Each concern will suit
itself but 1t is tacitly agreed that the. ma
5ority will be silent between the 10Th and
10Th Several will take the coming week,
as their contracts and supplies make that
most expedient. Others will run three
days per week and close the other three.
There is very little doubt In the minds OF
mill agents that when the mills begin 70
rurtail the time will be greatly prolonged
beyond six days There is one concern in
the city which up 90 date refuses % con
slider any proposal for curtailment This
Is the new Fall River Iron works, which il
connected with the American Print works.
THE goods are controlled in New York and
the production of $1,000 pieces does not APP
pear in the cloth print statement and will
not count against the 2l0,000 pieces which
the six days stOppage will take out

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-The interstate
commerce commission issued an order to-
day to take effect on Sept. ! In regard to
the reduction Of rates on FOOD products
based on its original report TO the senate
This case is one Of the most important yet
brought before the commission The order
IS accompanied by the opinion Of the com
mission overriding the protest and mo
tions OF railroads for want Of jurisdiction.
The reductions made apply only to corn,
oats, wheat and flour carried from Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska TO Chicago,
ST. Louis aud the Mississippi river. The
reduced rates are from Missouri river to
Chicago ON corn and oats, seventeen cents;
and wheat and -four. twenty cents per hun.
dred pounds. From Kansas and Nebraska
pointe, corn eighteen 70 twenty-throo cents,
wheat from twenty-one TO twenty.seven
cents. Reductions extend 30 milee IN Ne.
braska and 30 miles ia Kansas from tai
Missouri river. Where rates airs fractional
the roads may charge evsh cents, which
considerably modides the reduction.

The Various Denominations Busily En-
gagged In Erecting Them.
The religious sects Of this city are par
ticularly active this year and the rapid
ity with which new churches are built
or old ones remodeled is astonishing.
Some OF the improvements which are
being made are the following.
The Methodists are especially bnsy,
the most important additions TO their
buildings being the Grace church par
sonage and Wesley church, both OF
which are being rapidly completed. The
former, particularly. will make q hand.
some addition to the beautiful buildings
Of the city, while the latter is very impor.
tant in the vicinity where It is being
built.
The Episcopal congregations are also
building some handsome structures, the
largest and most beautiful being TriRity
Church, which is being erected at the
corner of Delaware avenue and Adams
street. This building, which is now well
under way, promises to be one of the
finest church edifices in the state, and a
handsome ornament TO the part Of the
city in which 1t is being erected.
= The congregation OF st. Andrews
Church are remodeling and enlarging it,
The Reformed Episcopal Church OF the
Covenant is building a new edi6ce, which
will be crldit to the congregation.
The eolored Catholic school Of st.
Joseph's Church, Eleventh and French
streets, is the only important building
improvement which this denomination Is
making.
