Mr.. w. NJ. Sawyer.

The work Of Mr. w. NJ. Sawyer Is ad-
ditionally interesting from the fact that he
Is one of the few who. being unable to
pursue their studies abroad, have made
regulations for themselves by their own
unaided efforts. Mr.. Sawyer's style rather
tends to the impressionist school, but only
to the extent of making his canvas inter-
esting and original. His subjects are taken
almost entirely from the city and its SUBJ
urbs, one Of his most successful paintings
being from the banks of the fish pond, with
the outlines OF the city just showing above
the tree tops. Much of Mr.. Sawyer's work
is done out of doors. resulting in pearly
atmospheric effects, impossible to obtain in
the studio. a few OF this artists best
known studies are "Springtime,'' Daisy
Patch, ""October Moonrise" and a charming
study of Burns Cottage" with number
of clever marine views. Mr.. Sawyer is a
regular exhibitor at the National Academy
and expects to hold an exhibition of his
work in this city later in the season.
Another successful young aspirant for
artistic laurels is Mr.. Hobart Nichols. He
has never studied outside of Washingto ton, but
has attained a degree of proficiency which
many older artists might envy. He works
in broad, fearless manner and is fond of
moonlight effects. His studies are made
directly from nature and are full of poetry
and entiment. A few of his most popular
canvases are entitled "Autumnal Moon
rise - Twilight" and Down the Hillside"
One DUR best, though youngest artists
is Mr.. Frank Mailman, whose clever por-
traiture is SO well known to the Washing
ton public. His style of painting is broad,
without being impressionistic, and his col
oring possesses luminous quality which Is
very attractive Some of his portraits are
of John Philip Sousa and wife, Mrs. Veer-
hoff, Mr. Hughes Vivian Burnett and Ho-
bart Nichols Mr. Mailman Is at present
engaged on a number of portraits which he
is painting in Chicago. They are all Of
prominent politicians. and will materially
aid in establishing the young artists repu-
tation.

Mr.. Howard Helmfck,

Much of Mr. Helmick's work is in 'guache,"
. medium which is particularly adapted to

nese white is mixed with all of the colors
and the manipulation is Identical and pro-
duces very much the same effect and texture

fum has ELECTED high commentator from
European artists and critics For the past
year or two he has confined himself to small
canvases, but Ii is to be hoped will soon
return to the more ambitious subjects which
have made for him a high artistic record
Mr.. Helmick Is also a regular contributor
to number of leading periodicals.
Both personally and professionally there
II probably more interesting person in
Washington than Mr.. Henry like. He was
born In Silesia, Prussia, where. at the age OF
eighteen, he received a commission from the
Princess Albrecht for portrait of her
daughter, which was completed so salts
factorily that she sent the young artist to
the royal court in Berlin, where he studied
for three years with Peter Won Cornelius,
by whom he was engaged to paint the fres-
Goes In the Royal Museum.

Another veteran artist Is Mr.. z. j. Mil
Ter Unlike the majority of painters Mr.
Miller has never studied abroad his en-
tire art educa ton being received in this
CITY, In consequence of which his work
bears none of the foreign r1annerisms of
handling and effects which so many of our
American artists seem unable to resist in
their own work. Mr.. Miller's specially is
portraitu-e, which he handles with great
cleverHess. His work is generally in oil,
although he obtains fine results with both
water color and the etchers needle In
answer to the reporters question Mr.. Mil
Ter said: "A painting should express a
sentiment and the artists conception of
his subject regardless of school or system.
Art Is only valuable as it fills this require
ment. 1t should tell its own story, and crit
:cisnls should be given from the artists
standpoint, not from the critics. L do be-
LieVe in moderate lLnpreSslonlsm. An
IRENE in anything is generally the result of
Q desperate attempt to achieve notoriety."
Among WashingtOn's many beautiful stu
dos there is no more charming suite than
that of Miss e. l.. Ransom. The walls are
completely concealed by canvases, ranging
In size from the colossal to the diminutive
and by hundreds of photographs collected
by the artist during her tours abroad. Miss
Ransom has studied for a number of years
under the famous masters. A. d. Durand,
Kaulback and Huntington, and plainly
shows the effect of her training, though
without affecting the mannerisms of any,

pairing for exhibition sketches made
during the summer, many of her best

traits are OF Gems. Thomas. Mcpherson and

of Cows. Cox, Huntington and Brough Of
Ohio. All of these were commissions from
the government. and their fine execution
reflects credit upon the ability of the ar
fist.
Miss c. ]. Stevens has also gained promi-
hence in artistic circles by means of her
brush, in an entirely different manner,
however, from the other artists mentioned
her speciality being tapestry painting. with
which she has most fiattering success. At
the Columbian exposition much of her
work was exhibited, and two gold medals
were conferred upon the artist. Her color
ing is very dainty in effect, and her SUBJ
jects are after Boucher and other artists of
the same school. Some of Miss Stevens

Handling Cigars and Tobacco.

It is perhaps not generally known. says
Pharmaceutical Era, that tobacco is more
susceptible to injury from climatic infiu-
ences and contact with foreign substances
than any other plant known; more partic-
ularly when manufactured (either in plug
form or in the shape OF fine cut. or in the

sorb any foreign flavor. scent or character.
which will entirely change its aroma or
taste. For instance. IL cigars are kept in
a damp place. they will absorb the moisture
in the atmosphere and as a result there is
a heavy. soggy. spongy article. which is
bound to produce q strong, rank and dis
agreeable taste and flavor. no matter how
we'll 1t may have been previously seasoned.
For this reason. cigars that are sold for use
at the seashore are always selected from
the oldest or best-seasoned stock. No ex-
perfenced dealer or smoker would
think of takin fresh cigar on
board an ocean-bound steamship, in
asmuch as the ordinary domestic
"two-ror" would smoke and taste equally
as well as the finest imported or Key West
cigars on board the ship. Cigars and to-
bacco should be kept as far as possible
from coming in contact with such articles
spices and similar substances. The above
hints, If observed will avoid and prevent
many complaints from dealer and consumer
as to brands of cigars and tobacco which
are known to have a standard value for
quality, and which, under proper treatment,
have heretofore given the best OF satisfac-
ton.

Before this work was completed the
French revolution broke out. at which time
Mr.. Ulke left Berlin and enlisted as a repub-
hcan, for which cause he was arterward
obliged to leave the country. He then came
to America, where he has since resided.
He has painted many persons who have
gained prominence in the United States
during the last forty years. nearly all of
his orders being received from the govern
ment. Numbers of his canvases hang in
the Treasury, State, War and Navy De-
partments. the Capitol and Smithsonian
buildings. He has recently finished life
EAsed portraits of Secretary Carlisle, Secre-
tary BisseIl and MIR. Wanamaker. Mr..
like, in speaking of his work, says: Il
know no style. If one can only bring out
nature in all her beauty and simplicity
there is no room for a display of style. That
only leads to mannerisms. In which all
painters originality is lost. 1 was once
asked by ambitious little artist If his
work did not resemble that Of the master
Calamm. to which made answer, NO, 1t
comes nearer a calamity 1t Is not neces-
sary to attempt an imitation, each man

cept tlagrante delicto, whom its courts
cannot try except for the most iAsigniti-
cant offenses
Imagine the government OF this coun'
try unable to legislate for these foreign
ers without the consent Of a dozen dis
tant powers, most of them Indifferent
and some i'll disposed. Imagine it car.
rying on its principal business in for
eign tongue which yet is not the tongue
of the predominant foreign race. Imag-
inc it struggling to meet the clamorous
growing needs of today with budget
vigorously fixed according to the mini
mum requirements Of the day before
yesterday.
Imagine the DEGREES of this govern
ment liable to be set at naught by courts
of its own creation. Imagine its policy
really inspired and directed by the en-

Slept Fifty-seven Years.

Irvings rip Van Wrinkle" is believed
to have its foundation in the wonderful
story which Pliny relates concerning the
extraordinary experience of a shepherd
named Epimenides. The scene is laid in
Crete, the time summer, and Epimenides
a boy of some 10 years. During the very
warmest part of the day he found that
some OF the sheep were missing and at
about the same time heard prolonged
bleatings from the almost inaccessible
portions of neighboring mountain. He
grasped his crook and started off in the
direction of the sounds The path was
very difficult one to travel over, the day
hot, so that long before he reached the
stray sheep he was so overcome with IA
tigue that he lay down in a dry place in
a cool cavern to sleep. He slept, so Pliny
gravely informs us, 81 years,
At last when he had finally managed
to shake off the terrible lethargy that
had held him spellbound for more than
half a century, he returned TO the herd
only TO find a brother younger than
himself a lettering. gray haired grand
father. That ill wind" Proverb is very
appropriate in this case, for we find the
Epimenides' enforced slumbers had en-
dowed him with miraculous powers. He

1t is asserted that the people of the
state of Washington expend annually
nearly a million of dollars for eggs
which are imported from abroad, and
that they are worth in the markets
about twenty-five cents dozen during
the entire year. And yet this is good
country for chickens and all varieties of
poultry. There are certainly large
profits in poultry raising if properly

HOW OTHER TOWNS GROW

There is gentleman in Salt Lake city
from Duluth, one Of "A firm Of the heavies
real estate dealers in that city. He is one

that rainfall will be controlled in some
