ARTIST AND SOLDIER.
Something Of the Personality of
VerestchagiD, the Russian Painter.
WHY HE HATES TIE IDEA OF WAR.
4 Man of Strong Individuality and Great
Force of Character.
ANECDOTES OF THE PAINTERS LIFE

The personality of the eminent soldier
painter, Vassili Verestchagin, whose man.
moth canvases depicting the horrors and
realities of war are to be seem by Pittsburg-
ers this week, beginning Tuesday, in the
Carnegie Art Gallery, must at this time be
especially interesting.
A strong individuality, impetuosity and
force o! character may be traced in his
works, and these qualities fitted him in an
especial manner for the stupendous task
which bis conscience set for him-that of
placing before the civilized world, in re-
markably realistic manner, the horrors oi
war and civil murder. that others might be
brought to realization OF the truth that war
is cruel, utterly cruel and barbarous. In
deed, Verestchagin may be said, like Saul
of Tarsus, to have been converted on the
highway, and in the performance of the very
acts which he now so strenuously condemns
as wholesale murder and individual killing,
under the name OF military or civil execu-
tions. ,,
This is the theme of brush and pen, and

SOME SKELETONS EXPOSED.

Airing of q Number of Family Jars in Pub
lic-Severa1 Couples Who Can't Agree to
! Disagree-How the Court Disposed of
Them.
Family jars occupied much less time than
usual in the Quarter Sessions Court yester-
day, warmer weather appearing to have a
modifying influence, and among the Is or
20 cases called but three disgruntled couples
answered. In the absence of District At
torney Johnston, Mr.. Martin was master of
ceremonies.
Gearge Pierce, an auburn-haired man,
apparently considerably under 80 years of
age, was hauled up. charged with deserting
his wife within three or four months of
their nuptials. She stated that she had no
support from her husband for % months.
George insisted that his better half had
agreed to get divorce if he would give her
some trinkets, which he did. He also de-
MED the paternity of the child Mrs. Pierce
had in her arms, but he was told that he
must put up 81 week for that baby or go
to Jail.
Ernest Conrad, whose occupation is that
of a schneider, was asked why he didn't sup
port Theresa Conrad, and he said he had
been locked out of the house couple of
her since, but had paid SILL last year Tor
the support of their son, Max, but he didn't
exhibit the SAME interest IN three other
pledges of affection, the children OF a former
husband OF Mrs. Conrad. Mr. Conrad's ap-
pearance was quite youthful for step
father 10 years old. He must pay 81 week
to Mrs. Conrad.
James Ralph was arraigned for neglectiDg
to pay to Mary Ralph S. a week, as per
previous order of court, and james pleaded
as an excuse that Mary got drunk and was
not fit to care for the children. Mary re-
taliated by charging that James got drunk
also, and he replied: 81 am not an habitual
drunkard, and L can prove that you are. !"
The Court stated that there was nothing at
present to do except to continue the order
until the case be disposed of in some way.
The Humane Society has had possession of
the children part of the time. A pretty
little 8-year-old girl, one of the children in
interest, appeared to be greatly distressed.
Attorney Frank Smith and Humane 4 gent
O'Brien had put the children into the hus-
bands possession, but it is said he hadn't
nerve enough to hold them.
James Jack was arraigned. charged with
neglecting to comply with an order of Court
to paw Mrs. Jack S35 month. His defense
was that he had done so until she began to
interfere with his business by collecting the
rents for. his houses and variously interfer-
ing with his agents. Judge Stowe told Mrs.
Jack that he would make her husband pay
the amount decreed, but also informed her
that if she didn't keep her hands of, her
allowance wonld be reduced, and possibly
taken away altogether.

The third annual convention of the sales
men OF II. j. Heinz Co., which has been in
progress since Monday last, closed with a
magnificent banquet, in which over 100
statesmen, managers and few invited guests
participated.
The tables, which were set in the large
Offices oftheir new plant, presented beauti-
iul appearance, adorned as they were with
bottle and fancy jars of various sizes and
colors containing the pickles and preserves
of this celebrated firm.
The walls OF the room were tasteiully and
appropriately decorated with diplomas and
metals, of which some 30 have been awarded
this firm for the excellence of their cele-
brated "Keystone Brand" of condiments.
The supper was served by Luther, the
caterer. and was complete in its every de-
tail. After two hours of sumptuous re-
past, cigars were passed, and then number
of toasts were responded to, all in a witty
and entertaining manner. A few of the

X. Gillespie, Percy F. Smith, DIR. Barclay,

with the vivid impressions made upon his
mind by the sight of human beings "slaugh-
tered, shot, beheaded, hanged under his
eyes," he attempts to make others realize
the enormity of the sin committed, even in
Christian countries, in the name of Him,
whose teaching was founded on peace and
love.
In 1868 Verestchagin accompanied Cen
eral Kaufman into Central Asia, and re-
mained i'll the city of Samarcand during the
siege, which lasted eight days. The Mo-
hammedans permitted the Russians to oc-
cupy other cities without offering resistance,
but the holy city of Samarcand revolted.
and but for the timely arrival of corps
from Tashkend, verestchagin would have
perished with the city-imDrisoned army.
Caught in Besieged City.
During the first days of occupancy, how.
ever. the artist was permitted to 60 at will
throughout the beautiful city, where his
brush found many subjects. He was sur.
prised, while painting an Afgan, by a ter
rife shouting. which was kept up unceas-
ingly, together with the sound of musketrv.
Verestchagin quickly realized that the city
was attacked, and his life and friends were
in peril. He laid aside his brush and
ran in the direction of the noise.
Meeting General Seroff, who was nervously
twisting his mustache, he learned that the
attacking force was estimated at q, 900.
while the defenders numbered about 500.
The seriousness OF the situation was ap-
parent. Verestchagin seized gun from a
dead soldier, filled his pockets with car
tridges, also taken from the dead, and for
eight days fought side by side with the
soldiers helping to hold the fort. 1t was ex-
perience of this kind that gave him an
