A FAMOUS AMERICAN ARTIST.
A milwaukee Boy WHO Is !: Great Man I,
..5s4 o.,.-s-- Europe.

A milwaukee Boy WHO Is a Great Man In
~5a Europe.
Very impressive and worthy of close
study is Carl Marrs picture of The
Flagellants," now on exhibition in the
loan collection at the Art palace of the
Columb bian exposition. It represents a
procession in Florence Of the famous re-
hgious order that spread throughout
southern Luroj,e with such amazing gen
eralness in the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries and is masterful in it's charac-
terization of religious fanaticisln. Itwas
first exhibited in Munich in 1886, where
it got the gold medal.
In striking contrast to THE Flagel-
lants' is another of Marr's pictures in
the loan exhibition Summer After
noon," the property of Mrs. Hearst OF
California. which took the Ideal medal
in Berlin. It is /. garden scene, with Il
group Of women at one table and chill
dren at another. 1t has a marvellous
blending Of light and shade, the effect
of the sunlight shining through the
green foliage.
There is an interesting story connected
with Marrs first great picture. 1t was
THE Wandering Jew since renamed
THE Mystery" and took the silver
medal at Munich, where the artist was
then settled pursuing his art studies. He
was but 23 years old when it was paint

and has been very successful. From
boyhood he was activezin Sunday school
work and is now noted among the work
secretary for the northwest Of the Chris
tian commission and has held various
positions since, being at present chair
man Of the executive committee OF the
international Sunday school convention
and president of the Illinois State Cen
trail association.
Professor Kinds of Cumberland uni
versity says, 'Dr. Vincent invented the
lesson system, Dr.. Eggleston showed its
practicabillty and adapta bility, but it
was B. T. Jacobs who conceived the idea
of a uniform lesson for the whole coun
try" When the completed scheme was
presented in the convention Of 1872 at
Indianapolis, it was received with a
unanimous aye and enthusiastic cheering,
and before the vote could be announced
the whole assemblage rose and by one
mighty impulse joined in singing
"Praise God, from whom all blessings
now"
John Heyl Vincent was born in Tus-
caloosa, Ala, Feb. 23, 1882. His career
has been disti1ctively American. He is
spoken of as apostle of the democracy
of thought and has done as much to
popularize learning as any other man.
He received his education in Pennsyl-
vania and began to preach in the
Methodist church at the age of IS. At
20 he became a member Of the New Jer-
sey conference and soon after was trans
ferred to the Rock River conference. His
life has since been a steady advance, and
in 1888 he was elected a bishop Of the
Methodist Episcopal church. He is
usually considered the originator Of the
Chautauquan system of teaching and has
national reputation as chancellor OF
the Chautauquan circle.
The sessions of the convention will be
held in Exposition hall morning, after
noon and evening, SO the delegates will
have but little time for amusement, but
excursions will be arranged. The dele
gates from the United States will be
equal to four times the representation in
congress, as nearly as can be allotted
but there is no limit fixed to those from
foreign lands, it being considered that
distance will make sufficient limit. AL
Sunday school unions Or other associa
tons in all foreign countries will name
delegates as they may desire. And tr'7ly
it will be an inspiring sight when all are
gathered in the great hall and the
thoughtful spectator runs over in his
mind the wonderful growth since 1880.
1t was in that year and on July II
that Robert Roikes organized his frs
Sunday school in the house of Mrs
| King in St. Catherine street. Gloucester

mel just a year later, brigadier early in
1864 and full major general late in 1865
He was in every battle of the Army of
the Potomac except one, was wounded
three times, was three times promoted
for conspicuous gallantry and yet was
not very well known to the nation at
large at the close Of the war, for brave
men, even great generals, were then nu-
merous. The extraordinary fact in his
career is that he gained i'll military repu-
tation, SO far as the country at large is
concerned, much more rapidly from 1869
to 1880 than during the war.
Sept /, 1866 he ceased to be d ma
jor general Of volunteers and started
anew as a colonel in the regular army,
yet he has once more regained the higher
ranks. In 1915 he subjugated the Chey-
ennes, Kiowas and Co1nanches Of the
Staked Plain, in 1876 the Sioux Of Mon
tana, in 1878 the Bannocks, and in later
years the Apaches.
He was born in Westminster, Mass.

cation and had just started in mercan-
tile life in Boston when the war started

liest times. A Jewish tradition runs to
the effect that Mcthuselah instructed his
descendants in the mishua Tor record
continuous from Adam) on set days for
several hundred years; that Abraham
also taught, and that Jacob was a good
Sunday school attendant while Esau
played truant. This may be tradition
only, but Josephus records that from
the time Of Moses until this day the Jews
assembled on the Sabbath for instruc-
tion in the law, and the prophets and BIZ
BILE allusloEs confirm it.
It is certain that Bible schools for chill
dren existed among the early Christians,
and Mosheim says that they established
school wherever they formed a
church Why these schools were dis
continued it is not easy to explain, but
it is certain that they were and that in
time it came to be thought a violation of
church law to teach children the creed
in the vulgar tongue, so called-that is,
the language of everyday speech. Latin
had become a dead language, but all the
formularies of the church were still
written in it. When the inquisitors
FIRST went among the Waldenses, they
were amazed to learn that the children
could report all the lessons of the church
and recite long passages of Scripture in
their everyday dialect, and it was re-
ported us something very serious.
It is also certain that other dissenting
sects taught their children in classes and
in the common tongue, and Count Zin-
zendorf records that about 1927 there
was great revival of child teaching
among the Moravian brethren. In 1903
plan Of teaching children was author
lied in England, and in 1850 the Scottish
kirk established regular Sunday schools.
It also appears that Rev. Joseph Alleine
had school at Bath in 1868 and that
such schools existed at Roxbury. Mass.
in 1914, in Norwich, Conn.,, in 1896, in
Plymouth in 1850 and i'll various other
places

Wesleyan who established a school at

was born ut Gloucester III 1875 and died
there in 1911. He was editor and pub
! Usher Of the Gloucester Journal, and his
first plan for Sunday schools was to EN-
.ploy poor women as teachers. to whom
he paid a shilling per day. Somamyv vol

His picture was admitted to be good. but
he could not sell it. He returned to
America and opened Il studio and art

PRINCE FRANCIS FERDINAND D ESTE.
ton and altogether the most unpopular
man in Vienna. The suicide of Prince
Rudolph, son Of the emperor and heir
apparent, changed all that, for it left
Francis Ferdinand next in succession to
the throne. Desperate efforts have been
made to polish him up u little and rec
oncile his royal relatives, but with
little success While her son was alive
the empress would not allow Francis
Ferdinand to enter her presence, and
scarcely had Il sort of reconciliation been
effected when it was spoiled because OF
Princess Ste .,hani, widow Of Rudolph.
Both the emperor and empress are of
opinion that If the princess had acted
with fair judgment and forbearance Ru-
dolph would have been reconciled to her
and never have killed himself. Well,
one of the first propositions from the
new heir apparent was that he would
marry Princess Stephan. The result, OF
course, would be to make her empress,
and if the present empress should out
live her husband she would then be
dowager empress only and see the de-
tested Stephan reigning empress. That
would be cruciixion indeed, and SO the
whole imperial family is at outs again.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand is an or
binary looking but very stalWart G-foot-
or. His favorite amusemenus are hunt
ing and riding, and he likes to get in the
cab Of locomotive and drive things.
Public opinion in Austria is divided on his
case. Some say he has improved wonder
fully and will bea good emperor; others
that he is natural boor and despot, and
will be the worst ruler Austria ever had.
At any rate he is q real royal parsonage
and will be an attraction at the fair, and
it is to be hoped that Austria will have
sense enough to take care of herself.

of three men who are credited with hav-

the honor of inventing it. His colabor-

that, like most devices of that nature, it

of 19 he went to Chicago and soon after
