end he dispatched a photographer to the
spot who brought back conclusive proof
that the remarkable scene depicted in the
painting existed in nature.
When the realism of his work was first
doubted SCHNEIDER was disposed to be
angry, but on being assured that nc dis
paragement of the painting was meant he
was pleased to tell all about it and was
compelled 10 admit that i; was so unusual
a scene that people could not be blamed
for thinking it a work of the imagination
"Why, man." said one of the professors
of the academy, your picture in way is
almost gTotesQue ana looks more like a
pure creation of the brain than anything l
have seen by Claude. But one can always
tell that Claude'S work is entirely imagina-
ton, because it has certain imperfe ctions
that would not exist in nature. But your
picture might exist; there is nothing uu-
natural about it, but to me it is imprOb-
able"
This sounded good deal like praise and
SCHNEIDER was pleased. He then stated
that his picture represented a scene in the
cemetery of San Michele. near Ragusa.

SCHNEIDER said that he was out sketching
over the hills when he came to a gorge,
the bottom of which appeared to be COW

From where be stood he could see that a

the firing would wipe its matched huts

the most beautifully located capital on the
face Of the globe. Il Is only twenty-siX
miles from the sea, and il is connected
with the por. of Chemulpo by a poor
wagon road, which climbs up the hills and
over the mountains to get to it. The slug

But first take look at Korea's chief
seaport.
Chemulpo is the place at which Seoul

then CheMulpo has grown to be quite a

1t has been about decided to regard Che

GREAT ART WORK.
SCHNEIDER the Artist Is
Now Famous.
VERY UNUSUAL PICTURE.
1t Is Entitled "Peace" and Rep
reSeurS a Scene in
Dalmatia.

The most eminent art critics of the day
have conceded the great German picture of
the year to be a painting by c. T. Schind-
Ter, entitled Peace" The work was ex-
hibIted in Munich and created quite a sem
saton.
The first matter of surprise was that
SCHNEIDER should paint such a picture. He
is a man of considerable standing in the
art world. but up to the time Of producing
peace" he had confined himself to land
scapes of not ambitious nature. Little
leafy forest-pools, barnyard scenes and
other pictures which might be taken as
transcripts from nature, without any at
tempt at producing a romantic or pOetical
effect. The cOlOring of his works was
bright and warm and calculated to tickle
the eye.
The next matter for surprise came when
SCHNEIDER stated that he had painted his
picture from nature. This could hardly
be believed. as it looked like great effort
Of the imagination.
Where did such peace exist and why
had it remained undiscovered?
SCHNEIDER answered that it existed in
Dalmatia and that he himself had stumbled
over it by accident. while on his sketching
tour last summer.
People did not believe him, and in the

though he came out of bandbox. He
was, however, only one OF a thousand
strange characters that you may see any
day on the streets of Seoul. There are no
stranger people on the face of the globe.
A masquerade of the nations could not
furnish more strange costumes, and in
going through Seoul you rub your eyes
again and again to find whether You are
dreaming or waking. The kingdom of
Korea is made up Of many classes of
people, and each has its costume. There
are hundreds of officials connected with
the palace, each of whom wears different
dress.
The mobiles strut about in all sorts of
gowns, with their retainers in all sorts of
liveries, aud you are all the while appar-
entity looking into great kaleidoscope OF
Acknowledged humanity which changes in
colors and costumes at every turn OF the
barrel. There are different costumes for
all positions in life, and every man wears
dozen different kinds of dress during
wear. If he goes to wedding he has his
own outfit, and if he goes to his relatives
funeral he must put on the garb of the
mourner. Death gives more work to the
taiIors than weddings, ana the mourners
of Korea wear long yellow gowns, with
hats as big as umbrellas above them.
You can tell something about the
position of a man by the size OF
his sleeve, and there is no place where
a hat means so much as in Korea. For
a long time l feasted my eyes upon
what l considered the pretty little girls of
the country. They were dressed in bright
gowns. They parted their hair IN the mid
die. and they tied the long braid which
hung down their backs with neat little
ribbons. Once or twice l smirked and l
smiled, but | could get NJ smiles in return.
and know now thatthese little girls were
no girls at all. but merely young boys WHO,
not being married, have to wear their hair
down their backs. After they are welded
they will put on hats and wrap their hair
nm on the tops Of their heads in a water
fall. All of the men of Korea wear water
falls or topknots. These are just about as
big as the fist of baby, and they rest on
the crown of the head. They wear gorgeous
hats. and they are, l believe, the best
dressed men in the world. Their customs
are as queer as their dress, and they both
fit so closely together that l will write of
the two in the future.

HE WAS A HERO.
The Man Who Had One Hundred and
Eighty Seven Housekeepers.

LISnlN OSNCH tlOASChSSpGISs
Evan Adams, locally famous as the man
who had 187 hOusekeepers in the few
years that have elapsed since the death OF
his wife, died at Mount Pleasant yester-
day in the same little house where he was
born rs years ago. He was married before
he reached his majority and fer over forty
years lived happy welded life, rearing a
large family of daughters, who are now
grown up, married and among the most
respected residents of Atlanta County.
Mrs. Adams died about ten years ago,
and her husband was so stunned by his
sudden bereavement that for a time his
life was despaired of. a year after her
death sudden change was noticed in
Adams. He seemed to forget his loss, but
continued to shun all com panionship. His
daughters expos tulated with him, only to
be driven from home, and his neighbors
gave him emphatic warnings TO keep the
peace.
Soon he developed mania for house
keepers. None could be secured near his
home, so he procured one through the me-
dunn of a Philadelphia employment
agency. She remained three days only,
and left without wages or reference. She
was replaced by another domestic, who in
turn left within the week. Others fol-
lowed in quick succession, none remaining
longer than one week. Adams soon found
himself blacklsted in the help bureaus of
the Quaker City.
Then he visited New York and girls of
all natlODalitles were imported to Mount
Pleasan. but always with The same result.
Some stayed a day or two and some
week, but the terrinc quarrels. which fur
nished never-ending scandal for. the
countryside, always marked their. exits
from the little homestead.
At last the climax was reached: when a
red-headed virago from New York, the
