DE MOREs ARRESTED.

PARIS, June "a = The Marquis de
Mores has been arrested on the charge of
causing the death of Captain Mayer. The
death of Captain Mayer at the hands of
the Marquis de Mores in defense of the
rights of the Jews of France, and as a re-
suit of the Semitic feeling here, has cre-
ated great excitement among the Jews.
1t is feared the Jewish residents of the
city and suburbs will engage in demon
STATIONS on the occasion of the funeral of
Captain Mayer. The newspapers, in edito-
rial comments, censure the polemic which
led TO the tragic event. 1t is reported
that the Jewish officers in the French
army intend to avenge the death of Cap
tain Mayer, and series of duels are i'm
minent

The Appearance and the Methods of the
Great French Palmer

In appearance he was Of medium height,
his complexion inclining toward olive,
with dark hair and eyes, strongly set
head and forehead, we'll filled in its re-
fecive and perceptive portions, and of an
open, sympathetic expression, indicating
much bonhomie, and at the same time
great penetration and power to discripli-
nate. In manner he was genial, modest
and entirely without assumption, giving
his counselS more as a cOmrade than as
master; his advice having weight from
their intrinsic worth, rather than from
any manner of imparting it. Hts whole
nature was childlike in It's lmpulsive
directn ess. He never kept systematic nc
count Of mis- works or progress: it was his
to do the work; others might reckon up
and classify.
His methods were extremely simple, He
usually prepared his own canvases, and
continued this practice long after a world
wide reputation would make it appear to
De anything but an economical use of his
time. He would begin a picture by
sketching in a few broad traits with char
coal or brush, and then lay in his masses
freely, keeping the oolors from the start
clear, rich and pure. The palette knife
played an important part in covering
large surfaces, which he afterward worked
into form and detail with the brush, For
smaller pictures and his river studies he
preferred panels of oak and mahogany,
first coated with a printing of neutral
gray.
He was one of the first painters to begin
and complete large canvases out of doors.
He would fasten them in place with stout
stakes, working with fury when the effect
was propitious, often leaving in the open
fields during the intervals to the mercy of
wind, weather, cows and small boys. The
truths he sought were Of far more vital
Importance than surface polish, and this
direct outdoor work, guided by his artists
instinct, gave to his pictures great fresh
ness of execution, as we'll as an added in

Eff ct on the strikers.

HOMESTEAD, July 23.-The Frick shoot
ing today had the effect of causing re-
newed precautions in the military camp
here and ezra guards have been thrown
around General Snowden's headquarters
the reason given being that the strikers
are displaying much bitterness toward the
general for MS rigid enforcement of the
rules and determined and unloading stand
generally.
Some o. the strikers tonight, when they
were told of the extra precautions being
taken to prevent any mishap, were indig-
nant and pronounced it an attempt to
bring them into discredit by connecting
them before the public with the attack on
Frick
The Frick affair also led to marked
increase in the number of deputies here
and the abandonment of all meetings of
the strikers, except the advisory board,
for fear some one might indulge in hot
headed talk

What the Government Is Doing for the
Farmer.

What the Government Is Doing for the
Farmer.
Among the important acts of Congress
touching the welfare of the farmer are
those which provide for the establishment
Of institutions of learning which are to
give special attention to agriculture, and
the sciences related to it; for the mainten-
ance Of agricultural experiment stations
which are devoted to the scientific investi-
cation of agricultural problems; and for
the elevation Of the United States Depart
ment OF Agricu !ture to a cabinet depart
ment. These three educational agencies,
the colleges, the stations, and the Depart
ment, are the most important ones now at
work for the betterment of agricultural
matters, for nothing can benefit the
farmer so much as knowledge of the best
methods of farming for the region in which
he may live.
