TO THE PURE ALL IS PURE.
The Rev. Howard MacQueary's View on
the Nude in Art and Nature.

The Rev. Howard MacQueary's View on
the Nude in Art and Nature.
A Chicago special says: The Rev. How
ard MacQueary, who was suspended from
the Episcopal ministry for alleged heresy,
does not approve the latest crusade
against the nude in art.
"The whole question of the suggestive
ness of the nude" he says, "lies in the
French saying, 'Honi soft qui NAL y pense.'
If man with single eye to the beautiful
observes a painting or statue of a nude
figure there is nothing suggestive in it to
him. To voluptuous man, however, it
does not matter whether the figure be
draped or undraped.
ut is absurd" he continued, ITO say
that the representation of the nude in art
is demoralizing. The object of art is to
present the real beauty or ugliness Of ma
ture. If an artist wants to show me the
ugliness of Hottentot want to see the
ugliness. II he desires to present to me
the beauty of Greek went to see the
beauty in the original.
ITO the question why should we admire
the nude in art unless we admire the nude
of the model, should answer that 1t is not
the nude, but the correctness of the ar.
lists work that we admire, / don't ad'
mire the picture of the nude simply be-
cause 1t is nude, but because of the cor
rectness of the drawing. and painting. II
is the accuracy of the reproduction thai
we admire. AS on the stage, the more
perfect the illusion the more perfect the
production, so IL Is In art.

woman who does the dressing. If she is ;

HELD FOR TRIAL.
Another Alliance Man Bound Over to
Court.
Henry Berg. Jr, win Have to Explain
why He Assaulted oertie Weaver with
an Iron Bolt.

Henry Berg Jr., the man arrested in
this city at "Humpy" Williams dive, was
yesterday, at Alliance, bound over to the
grand jury in the sum of 5000, on the
charge Of assaulting Gertie Weaver. The
Alliance Review says: The case of Gsrtie
Weaver against Henry Berg Jr. was called
for hearing before Mayor Stillwell this
forenoon, and occupied the attention of
the court until 2o'clock this afternoon.
Gertie Weaver was placed on the stand,
and her testimony was to the effect that
Berg struck her with an iron bolt, knock
ing her to the ground, and while in that
condition he kicked and beat her in
shameful manner. Upon screaming for
help Berg skipped out. The iron bolt was
shown to Gertie by her attorney, Mr..
Roach, and she identified il as the one
that Berg used. She testified to having
been helped TO neighbours house, where
she remained over night. The contuslons
upon her head and the effects OF the
kicks given her by Berg caused her
a great deal OF suffering, so
much so that DIR. Welker was
called to prescribe for her. Gertie's testi-
mony in the main was corroberated by all
the prosecuting witnesses. But two wit.
nesses were examined for the defense,
George Thompson and Henry Berg. The
testimony of Thompson went to show that
Gertie had been following Berg the night
of the assault, with the intent of doing
him some bodily harm, and that while in
company with Berg she came up to them,
| and with an oath told him (Thomnaonl IN
make tracks or she would do him up. He
saw Berg and Gertie go down the track.
Berg, in his testimony, placed the entire
blame on Gertie. He admitted having
paid her some attention, but for some time
back had given her the shake. He denied
striking her vito an iron bolt, but admit.

A Possibility That the Matter May
Be Settled.
Mr.. Albright and Mr.. Snyder Both in

30 Cents Piece In Massillon.

The exclusive information given In last
nights NEws-DEMoCRAT regarding the

deavoring to obtain copy of the paper.
In some instances as high as 20 cents was
offered for NEws-DEMooRAT and in
many cases 10 cents copy was willingly
paid.
There are liable to be startling develop
ments In the case at any time. This af-
ternoon Mr.. Peter G. Albright, Mr.. Il. e.
Snyder and number of friends came
over to Canton. While it is not definitely
known, IL is thought an attempt will be
made to settle the case. The facts
brought out in the interviews published
last night are doubtless true.
Mr.. Peter G. Albright was seen at the
court house this afternoon by NEWS.

The Councilmen Undecided as to the
Candidate for City Clerk.
The Republican members of the city
council held another eaucus last night at
the city hall, member w. E. Seton pre-
sided, and it is understood that he is to
be the next president. The selection of
John w. Barnaby as city clerk does not
appear to suit all of the councilmen, and
great many Republicans are dissatisfied
with the choice. According to all reports
last nights caucus was a lively one, and
when an adjournment was had, the mat.
ter of selecting candidate for city clerk
was left open until another meeting could
be held. 1t is stated that John W. Barn
ably received four votes, Theodore Ballard
two, William Lichtenwalter and George
W. Yohe each one.
