A Crank Wants to Subject Them to An
alysis to Determine How Vanderbilt Is
Enabled to he Rich While He Is Poor.
NETWORK, Dec. 2S. Saturday night at
1880 o'clock, while Mr.. Cornelius Van
derbilt was entertaining a number of
friends at his Fifth avenue residence,
a good-loolSing, well-dressed young
man, apparently German, rang the
street door bell. To the page
who answered the summons, the
visitor said he had called to
see Mr.. Vanderbilt personally.to get his
brains, which he proposed to have
subjected to an expert analysis, in
order to determine why he (Vander-
bilt) had been able to amass a for
tune, while he (the caller) was prac-
tically penniless. The page sum-
moned an officer, who took the young
man to the station house. In his pockets
was found card bearing the name of
John j. Lingman, GIG East Eleventh
street, also membership card of the
Young Mems Christian association.
The prisoner was taken to the York
vile police court this morning and COM
mitted pending an examination as to
his mental condition. He was uncom-
municative and is doubtless insane.

Trained to Catch Fish.
Two dogs, male and female, were
seen by the policeman at the foot of
Third street about dark last night look
ing attentively over the edge of the
dock. Suddenly one was seen to plunge
into the river while the other stood on
the dock few moments, showing every
sign of delight, and then it, too, was
seen to plunge into the water The po-
liceman, thinking that perhaps the dog
owners had fallen overheard and that
the dogs had plunged in to rescue them,
fastened to the scene. No man was
there, but in the mouth of each dog q
large water rat was struggling for lib
erty. while the dogs fiercely tried to
shake the life out of them.
The policeman carried the dogs, after
getting them from the water and
which soon after the'owner, who lives
at Crosse Pointe, called for them. They
were species known as fish hounds
and had been brought from the south.
They resembled the Mexican in color
and in having no hair save tuft on thu
forehead, but in size they were as largo
man, living at Crosse Pointe, catches
his fish with a seine, and the fish are
afterward placed in a staked inclosure.
When fish are wanted the dogs are so
trained that they plunge in and bring

owner finds them a source of great

the figure of Col Pearsall, nearly OBJ

found the charred skeletons of Pearsall,

belief here is that the house was set on

believed that he and his family were
murdered and that the murderer, to
conceal the crime, set fire to the house.

RAPHAEL'S PLACE IN ART.
What the Painter of "Vhe Angelus
Thought of Him.

Thought of Him.
To realize fully his power of design
we must study the drawings he made
for his pictures. In the academical
qualities of drawing he has never had
an equal, and the fertility and rapidity
of his inventions are shown by the
enormous number of works he has left
These gifts make him the great master
for serious students of painting in it's
larger field-that of expression of the
artists thought--and have heard the
greatest of modern idealists, Jean Fran
co.'s Millet, talk by the hour with the
highest enthusiasm on a portfolio of the
Raphael drawings as the ne plus ultra
of design in its best sense. For the
modern type of painter the man who
regards his function to be that of
mirror to nature, or who considers
nature his mistress rather than his pur-
veyor, and his brush work more import
ant than his conception, Raphael is no
model, and for such he has no lesson.
The tendency of all modern painting is
more and more to these characteristics,
SO that he who will understand the
Urbinate in all his breadth must turn
his back on all the modern schools (if
there be any now which deserves the
name of school), and build his iudg-
ments on a standard found in the range
of work from Masaccio to Michelange.
10. By this standard Raphael must be
given, if not the supreme rank which
his contemporaries gave him, at least %
place in the front rank among the half
dozen who have endowed art with
higher nobility; and among them all he
stands first for the sense of beauty and
next to Michelangelo for refinement;
first as academician and composer, and
side by side with Giotto for fertility of
invention. This is enough of honor
w. j. Stillman, in CenCury.
What Old Women Talk About.
The next time you see two intel
ligent, well-dressed, dear old ladies
meet on the street and stop to chat
with each other, just time you gait so
that you may walk one square before
passing them. Then as you pass keep
your ears wide open and you will hear
them say something about somebody
that is i'll. You will hear: 'They say
it's typhoid fever" or "she was feeling
but the next day'-or something of a
similar character. OF course YOU mustn't
stop to hear the entire conversation,
but there is no lazy to prevent your
wondering, as you walk along, why it
is the delightful old souls don't discusa
