CAPTAIN CONNER HITS BACK.

The Famous Sew York Hotel Man Gays He
Has Cause for Damages.
New YORK, Jan. 22.-[ Srecidl Captain
William N. Conner, former proprietor of
the St. James Hotel, has brought action in
the Supreme Court against number of his
creditors claiming 100000 damages on the
ground that they illegally secured his lease
and elected him from the hotel. On Au-
gust IL, 1891, Mr.. Conner gave w. Robbins,
representing the creditors, bill of sale of
the property. He contends that his under
standing with them was that they were to
pay from The revenues the accrued rent and
so protect his lease, WHICH he alleges they
have not DONE

The liberty of choice enjoyed in mixing
oil and water colors is impossible in china
painting. The chemical changes wrought
through the final process of firing prohibit
| mixtures that are harmless in either oil or
water-color painting. Naturally, tine diff
culties of indiscriminate mixing would in
volve greater assortment of colors. But
it is better to employ limited palette, un-

acted upon by the fire.
Composition of the CoIors.
1t is of primary importance to know to
what extent iron is present in the compost
| tion of colors.
l. The whites, blues, and gold colors con-
tain no iron.
Q. The yellows and greens contain but
little iron.
8. The reds, flesh tints, red brown, and
iron violets; the browns, brown yeiiows,
ochres, blacks, and most grays, contain iron
as base.
If painting from copy, one in water-color
is best adapted for reproduction on china
AS in all arts, it is advised to work from
life or nature. Nothing affords better sub
jects for china painting than the floral
realm. Fruits are also good. Always ar
range flowers in a careless, graceful manner,
devoid of any artificial stiffness. In paint
ing petals, the strokes Of the brush are
made from the circumference toward the
center of the flower, and in foliage from the
prominent vein out to the edge. Parallel
veined leaves and grasses are painted with
strokes from the apex to the base.
The surface OF the china serves as the
local tint in painting white flowers. In the
shadows always aim to attain transparency,
which is best taught and learned through
experience. The shadows are effected with
yellow and gray, or gray made of black
with trif1e of blue. High lights are
touched with permanent or Chinese white.
Yellow centers of flowers are painted with
mixing yellow, shaded with brown green,
or heightened with jonquil or orange yel-
low. Before painting the center, scrape
away any underlying tint, so that the vel
low is applied directly to the surface of the
china. Yellow flowers are painted with
mixing or jonquil yellow, shaded with
Pink flowers are produced with carmine,
and the proper shadowing with gray, made
of carmine and apple green.

perfcial. The point is to have the colors of
exactly the proper consistency, and as dry
as possible, avoiding an excess of fat oil;
that the different colors are not allowed to
impinge, and that all the colors are perfectly
dry before another wash is applied. If the
painting should not have received satisfac-
tory degree of glaze in the firing, the de-
fciency may be restored by applying light
wash of one of the more fusible colors, in
which case another firing is required.

This decides the success or failure of the
undertaking. The firing may be done by
the amateur with "china kilns." heated
with gas or gasoline, or ''muffiers," oper-
ated with coal. These are excellent, but it
is more reliable, and not expensive, to have
the firing done by a PROFESSIONALS least
until some experience has been acquired.
Firings That Are Necessary.
1t is generally believed that two to three
frings are indispensable for work embracing
various colors. There are certain elaborate
effects that can only be produced by two or
more frings, but one firing answers all prac-
tical purposes. The beginner and careless
artist may require firing for the tinted
ground, another upon the painting of the de-
sign, and third for the application of

Some Pointers of Value to Those LiviD 9
Where 1t Prevails.
The month of April opened with
storms in the west over a wider area
than has been known for many years,
and from Lake Michigan almost to the
Rocky mountains there were many lines
of destruction. The people have not
yet learned how to guard against these
destructive phenomena, though scien.
fists insist that much may be done in
that direction. They are called cyclones
but are in fact tornadoes and hurricanes,
as the cyclone occurs only on the ocean.
Their causes are plain enough: vast
stretch of country without mountains
and climate in which extreme heat
often prevails for several days. Amer.
lea is thus the natural home of the tor
nado, while Europe is exempt because
mountain chains extend in nearly all
directions from the central upheaval, SC
to speak. In the United States for the
same reason West Virginia is exempt,
and Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky
nearly SO; but as soon as we pass the
southern limit of the higher Alleghanies
we find broad tornado belt from cen,
trail Mississippi to North Carolina.
Lieutenant John P. Finley, of the
United States army, has compiled the
results of observations for two centuries
and presented map of storms which Is
in the highest degree suggestive. The

of Arkansas, on the other hand, such
storms are very rare, even as low an ele

pose to learn from Lieutenant Finley
land many people had already learned
it by observatory that tornadees and
hurricanes can generally be foreseen and
to great extent escaped.
The key facts are these: They almost
invariably travel from south Of west 10
north of east, their track is generally
very narrow and they are preceded by
signs which any intelligent person cAn

sultry calm, usually with puffs Of no,

hard and Pierre Loriilard, the last two
asking for $50, 600 each. At the close of
the week Foster Coates, who recently
left The Mail and Express for The
Press, declared that there was but one
paper in New York not sued or other
wise in trouble, and that was The Ban
ner of Zion. The Sun had published
that Pierre Lorillard lost 1925, 900 at
baccarat and had spoken of Fred Geb-
hard as blackguard. None of the
suits amounted to much.
The Chicago Times has probably spent
more money on libel suits than any other
American journal. And a strange fea-
ture is that its worst losses were in cases
where it had been artistically deceived.
Several years ago The Times received
an elaborate account of fearful scan
dial at Rockford, Ills, involving one
prominent politician and the daughter
of another. The editor hesitated, but
the next day several letters came, all in
different hand writings, giving details
as if from different standpoints, and so
next morning an article appeared. There
was not word of truth in the story. It
was most ingenious fraud and the
author was never certainly discovered.
Of the many resulting suits some were
tried five times. The final payment of
damages was very small, but Mr.. Storey
admitted that he had paid out many
thousands of dollars in lawyers fees and
hunting evidence.
a still more curious case convulsed an
eastern city some years ago. An even
ing paper gave thrilling account of
four attempts to murder a young mar
ried woman by connivance of her hus-
band. When suit was brought and the
reporter was called on for his proof, it
was discovered that his main witness
was in the penitentiary at Joliet, Ills,
the next in importance in the New York
penitentiary at Auburn, and the third
was police sergeant, who declared he
had told the reporter no such thing.
Ruin to the publishers seemed certain.

AT this juncture a statesman OF emil
nence who owed much to the paper
came to the rescue. He had been pub
lie prosecutor for years, knew the record
of every crook and criminal in the coun-
ty and held in his hands the power to
crush many of them. He summoned
them one by one to his Office and made
each detail his knowledge of the plant
ifs. The result was record which
caused the judge to declare that during
the progress of the trial he had to pinch
himself to be sure he was not dreaming.
The original case was practically ig-
nored. 1t was shown that the plaintiffs
were of family of professional crimi-
mails, one that had been such for four
generations. Judge and jury agreed
that such people could not be libeled.
And it turned out after all that the orig
inal publication was true, though it was
not proved On the trial.
The last affair to interest the whole
English speaking world was that of Par
nell and the London Times, in which
Parnell won. Other recent and familiar
cases are more amusing than serious.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly sued for $780,
600 and got six cents. At least nine
times out of ten these suits end in much
the same way. Historically the subject
is of intense interest. In England and
America alike the press has been grow
ing freer for two centuries, and in read
ing the old cases one wonders how men
could have published papers at all.
British law has always laid great
stress upon any feature in a libel calcu-
lated to stir up strife, whether between
individuals or nations, and under this
law the notorious Lord George Gordon,
Protestant Champion" was, in 1888,
sent to Newgate for seven years for an
atrocious libel on the queen of France
He professed conversion to Judaism
and died in prison Nov. 1, 1893. Sim
ilarly Tom Paine was indicted in Lon
don for publishing his Rights of Man"
fed to France and was outlawed. The
only attempt at that sort of thing in the
United States took form in the famous
"Alien and Sedition Laws" Since they
expired an American can libel foreigners
ad hbitum, as witness the ''war editori-
ais" and speeches at various public meet
ings. The American press is free in
deed. but where all are free some will
be hcentious, and that the whole law of
libel is in an unsatisfactory condition
none are freer to admit than the editors
themselves. J. H. BEADLE.
