Art has received quite an impetus in Wash
ington of late owing to the fact that few
leading citizens have given helping hand to
the Art Students League, and 1t is now In
nourishipg state, following closely in the
track OF the New York League The instruc-
tors are among the best artists In the city, and
with their new quarters and the lectures on
anatomy by Prof. Aikens, of Philadelphia, art
will be raised to much higher standard than
heretofore. This also tends to hasten the day
when this city will become the art centre Of
the republic. The growth of art will not ben
eft only few but it's influence is felt through
out the whole community. Few people have
any idea of the amount of time and hard work
required to make an artist of man or woman.
Many have the idea that the artist must be
born with the sdevine afflatus," and it com es
naturally and is, therefore, little or no trouble
to them to make pictures or statues. But as
certain stone must be put to certain uses that
stone must first be Of a nature suitable to that
purpose. Then it must be s'worked or cut"
shaped, and polished before it is ready for
USE So with the artist. He must first have
the talent; then 1t must be cultivated and de-
veloped by long series Of cutting and shap
ing In study and then the polish is required to
fit him to produce his ideas and views of ma
ture, human, animal and vegetable. Few ar
lists who have attained any degree OF en-
inence had money to start with, compared
with the great number who have reached fame
through the slough of poverty.
There is something In the struggle with
poverty that brings out qualities in a man
that remain dormant in those who have the
way paved with dollars.

Deodoro da Fonseca is the son of a wealthy
Portuguese gentleman, who removed from
Portugal many years ago and settled ON
large estate in Brazil. He and his two broth
ers received a military education. and at the
end OF the war with Paraguay, which was in
distinction by his military skill and valor.
From that time until December, 1889, he
served in the army with Increasing rank and
influence. At the last date mentioned Gen
eral da Fonseca succeeded as leader in the
revolution which made Brazil republic. In
1883 he founded the Military Club in Rio dc
Janeiro from which was developed the move
ment that overturned the empire. The En-
peror, Dom Pedro, was warned of the danger
he ran in permitting the continuance Of the
club, but he refused to interfere with 1t.
President da Fonseca is about 81 years old.

A HUSBANDS HEROIsM.
He Reecues His Wife, Imprisoned Be
meath a Capsized Yacht.


From the NeW York Recorder.
The weaker members of a yachting party
of tive would in all probability have gone to
tue bottom of Great South bay last Sunday
but for the bravery of one man. Before
noon on that day G. W. Elder, his wife,
Gerald Stuyvesant aud his brother, F. s.
Stuyvesant embarked at Bay Shore and
sailed for Fire Island on the sloop yacht
Montauk. Shortly after o'clock Mrs.
Elder retired TO the cabin, tucked a pet
dachshund under cushion, wrapped herself
in blanket and lay down to sleep.
There are berths in the cabin, which is
supported by stanchions and is all open at
the stern. A low, broad seat runs around
the cabin. On that Mrs Elder slept. When
a mile and half off Bay Shore the Mon
tauk was put about, and at that instant a
vicious puff of wind filled the sail, the
yacht turned bottom upward and the
passengers sank beneath the waves.
Mr.. Elder and the sailing master
were the first to reach the surface of
the water. They caught the boats bottom.
and when Gerald's head appeared he was
helped to the boat. Mrs, Elder remained In
the cabin. Her husband is a trained ath-
lete and vigorous swimmer. He dived
and swan under the boat. but came to the
surface without finding her Down he
went again, aud came up with no better
success. After the third plunge he found
Mrs. Elder in the cabin, clasped her in his
arms, and moment later had her seated on
the keel of the boat
= An air-hlled space between the surface of
the confined water and the sheathed hull of
the boat had permitted Mrs. Elder to
breathe until rescued. These exciting in
oldents occurred in less time than their tell
ing takes. and while Mr.. Elder was so gal
lantly endeavoring to save his wife F. s.
Stuyvesant was going through an expert
ence he is not likely to forget.

INTO THE SURF AFTER HER RIVAL.
Mrs. Charles n. Baker Makes a Lively
Scene at Asbury PARK.

GSShO NJ ASDuES L oI6s
From the NerO York Sun
AsBURY PARK. July 22.-At the foot Of
Fourth avenue this afternoon a richly at
tired young woman ran across the beach
and plunged into the water. She waded
out until the surf was nearly up to her neck,
seized a young man by the arm, and began
scratching at his face. A young woman
near by uttered q scream and swan rapidly
away. The angry woman screamed:
"You are a loafer and brute to neglect
me for that shameful hussy."
The man tried to quiet her, but her cries
caused such excitement that the board
walk became crowded with people and
policemen hurried to the scene. The man
finally waded out of the water and retired
to q bathing house.
The angry woman walked up the stairs to
the plaza, and while the man was dressing
she told her story of domestic unhappiness.
She said she was Mrs. Charles H. Baker of
New York, aud the man she had attacked
in the water was her husband. The couple
have been married for several years and
have three children. She came here with
her husband and children about week ago
and engaged board at the Hotel Brighton at
I'll Third avenue. Since their arrival her Q
Mr.. Baker. so his wife said, had been very
attentive to several young women.
Yesterday morning she went down on
the beach and discovered her husband in
the waves with a pretty young woman.
Whom he emerged from the water she took
him to task, and declared that she would
return to New York Last night she
watched him and found him with another
young woman, she said. This morning,
when she went to the beach, she found him
in the water still flirting.
Amid her sobs and tears Mrs. Baker told
Policeman Hulick that If she had only sue
ceeded in catching hold of the young woman
she would have torn her hair out. Hulick
took Mrs. Baker up to her hotel. After her
husband had finished dressing he, too, went
to the Hotel Brighton, where he was clos
eted for some time with his wife.
Rev. DR.. Baker who is passing the sum-
mer in Ocean Grove, is the father-in-law of
the woman who created the scene. He was
summoned to the Hotel Brighton by a
special messenger. He passed nearly two
hours there.
Mr. and Mrs. Baker could not be seen
this evening. The officers of the Ocean
Grove Camp Meeting Association did not
know who the Rev. DIR. Baker was, and
said they did not know where he was stop =
ping. There is no one to be found who will
tell, If they know it, the name of the young
woman who was bathing with Mr.. Baker
this morning.
The people at the Hotel Brighton refuse
to make any statement about the Baker
family. The register of the house shows
that Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Baker and
their three children of New York came
there on last Saturday

RICH NIoARAGUAN MINES.
Gold in Big Nuggets Found in Pockets
at Prinzapolka.
From the Nel0 York Herald.

From the NeU York Herald
GRANADA, NICARAGUA, July 22.-The
famous placer mines of Prinzapolka have
again started the gold fever throughout
Central America. Gold nuggets, weighing
from six to thirty-eight pounds, twenty
two carats fine, were lately found there. A
Nicaraguan soldier stationed at the mines
discovered a nugget weighing eighteen
pounds, which he sold at Leon for 1850
pesos.
So1or Csbezas, who has just come fir II
the mines, has with him rich specims IS OF
native gold. He says that there are numer-
GUS pockets distributed in all directions, OBJ
viously caused by a volcanic upheaval of

to the service. The excessive heat melted
the gold. causing it to flow over the ground
like stream of lava. He states that this

of the Fargo Argus. Says that able

This is cruel. A good many unkind
things have been said about the princi-
pals in the late little municipal unpleas-
antneSs on either side, but the law and
order coterie has had rather the better
of the contest. because it has controlled
the pulpit. The hot invective from the
preachers mouths has reached large
audience through the newspapers, which
have faithfully reported it; but the pict-
| uresque and fervid billingSgate of the
sporting element has exploded with the
ephemeral vigor of a firecracker and
been lost. The good men may now
however, learn from this extract from

columns to-day letter alleged TO have
been written by Prince Bismarck to the
Russian leader of the German party in
st. Petersburg: This letter makes the
German eX-chancellor declare that the
visit of the French squadron to Cron-
stadt would not have occurred had he
remained in power. The visit, the let
ter says, was the result of three gross
mistakes of German diplomacy. The
first mistake was the visit of the En-
press Frederick to Paris; the second
was the renewal of the triple alliance,
which was diyulged with such eager
ness by Emperor William, and the third
was the emperor's noisy visit to London.
PARIS, Aug. 5.-M. Loekroy. in an

visit itself, was due to England's sup
port of the dreibund. While France
Was isolated, he said, there was
strong temptation for the maSterful and
capricious German emperor TO plunge
Germany into war. The rapproche

moved that danger. France. however.

THE PLACE FOR 1T.

Boston has not been looked upon as
an active candidate. at least, for the Re
publican national convention. Leaving
Chicago out as too much engrossed in
the big fair TO give the matter atten-
ton, the impression has been growing
that the convention might cross the
Mississippi. where Minneapolis and
Omaha are the only conspicuous asplr-
ants. The past few days a movement
has been Inaugurated in Boston to
make ar effort for it. The cain is
made that it has all the conveniences
and comforts, including climate, and
has never had a national convention of
either party. The state has become uR-
certain politically. and the points are all
being worked together. One of the
papers urges that the effort be extended
to both conventions. The Democratic
convention is quite IS likely TO be cap
tGred as the Republican. ii there is
earnest effort. The movement in
favor of Minneapolis has evidently been
growing in favor OF lale. The great
gatherings lately held in the Twin
Cities have attracted attention in this

AN ILLUSTRATION.

One of the bulletins sent out by Cen
sus PORTER shows that this country is
much ahead of any other in the world
in the production of copper. The prod
uct last year is given at 113.02S tons,
which met all the demands of the home
market and left surplus of 1000 tons
Tor export. This is a matter of special
exultation by the MCKINLEY papers.
and. as a rule, it is a subject Of congrat-
ulation that any home enterprise is
prospecting. The copper mines are
owned by few wealthy gentlemen, and
they are adding to their wealth i'm
mensely by having this monopoly of the
market for their product. They are
secured in this by a duty of $50 ton on
copper. An effort was made by the
Democrats and the electric light
companies, which use the metal
most largely, to have this duty
removed. The MILLS bill put cop
per on the free list. But the Nc
KINLEY system fosters the mOnopolies,
and the industries that use copper are
taxed $50 a ton to enrich a few mag
mates and give them a monopoly. In
the stress of argument it is sometimes
alleged that labor is to be benefited by
this method of taxing consumers.
These copper mines employ less than
5000 men, and their wages average from
$3.50 to $1.9O per day, about the same as
unSkIlled labor in those localities. The
mine owners hire labor at the lowest
rates they can obtain it, without any
reference to the high prices the tariff
enables them TO sell their ore for. The
pretense that high tariffs benef the
workmen is about worn out. The cop
per case is referred to simply as illus
trative, and not as a matter that greatly
concerns the masses.

A DESPERATE CONTEST

No sort OF eXpertness in figures can
make up an electoral table that will
elect for the Republicans next year
with Ohio and Iowa left out. This may
be asserted of Ohio alone. The Demo-
Gratis have elected a president without
either of them, and the states they car
ried then will be sufficient now. A pO-
litical wave that brings Ohio to the
Democratic shores would sweep New
York, Indiana. Connecticut and New
Jersey, and thus have 227 votes-fOur
more than enough to elect. So that the
success of the Democrats in the two
states new in the early throes Of a fierce
contest would but add to the majority
If the Republicans are unable to carry
those states, they have no posi- bility
of eecting their ticket. Ii they lose
one or both of these states this year by
q considerable majority, there is badly
a visible chance for them 10 re-
cover from the loss next year. The
issue now is the great national question
upon which the presidential contest will
be waged. The local matters and per-
SOnalitv Of candidates are in favor of
the Republicans IN Ohio, and not of
much importance in Iowa. The defeat
of MCKINLEY by decisive vote next
November would make the state hope
less for the Republicans in 1892. They
would not have one chance IN a hun
dred to carry it or the country. If they
save 1t, they have a fighting chance for
the national ticket. Without it defeat
would stare them in the face and par
allyze their hands. For this reason it
is certain that the Republicans will con-
cemtrate all the ''uneQualed skill in re-
sources Mr.. QUAY's associates credit
him with having wrested victory from
defeat with The flow of resources into
the MCKINLEY district last year will
now cover the state. 1t will be des-
perate effort.
