FRENCH ART OF TODAY.
Only the Genius Of the People Keeps 1
From Hopeless Debasement.

Only the Genius of the People Keeps 1t
| From Hopeless Debasement.
For years all the art roads have led to
Paris 1t is today the center of the art
world, a model of taste, skill and knowl-
edge as well as a hotbed of eccentrici-
ties, mannerisms, stilted affectations
and small trickeries 1t takes in the
world, takes credit for all its virtues
and is saddled with all its vices. 1t is
ruled by the quips and cranks of what
at times seems outrageous fortune; it is
magnified and bellttled; it is over
praised and underpraised; itseems to be
rising to lofty heights at times and then
| again to be sinking into the mire. 1t is
! at once the best and the worst art CEN
ter in the world, crucible where all
elements mix, all. become alloyed, and
yet all average up respectable grade
of amalgam. That which keeps it from
hopeless debasement is the art genius of
the French people Has that art genius
ever reached is apogee? Has it fulfilled
its mission aud voiced the finer feelings
of France, as painting once did in Italy
and Spain? Did we accept the exhibit
at the Worlds fair as criterion we
might think her day was about finished,
that her artists had said all there was
for them to say, but the representation
was inadequate
The French stand sponsor for all the
academic emptiness displayed there, for
all the studio recitation, all the exag-
gerated realism, all the tawdry senti-
ment, and yet at heart they have little
sympathy with them The academic
was foisted upon them early in life by
the example of Italy and the misdirect-
ed energy of royalty. Poussin or Lebrun
was no more French in thought or meth
cd than Corneille. The monarchy mp
held the academic because it smacked
of heroism and the empire because it
fostered the military spirit, but the re-
public has barely tolerated it, and the
radicals have always hated it. 1t is the
bette noir of French art, against which.
there has been long series of revolu-
tions. Why, if not that it fails to repre-
sent the French? They are fond enough
of talking about such loyalists as Pous-
sin, David, Ingres and Cabanel, but the
men they love are the rebels, Vatican,
Fragonard, Delacroix, Millet, Corot
Courbet The viyacious, the decorative,
the emotional, the sentimental. the posi-
tive-all these they love because they
are national characteristics, but the
mock heroic, the grandiloquent, the
bombastic, have been more the result of
foreign imitation than the outcrop of
French feeling; John G. Van Dyke in

our coneressIonaI Nominee.

In speaking Of the Democratic con-
gressional candidate. the Defiance
Mems sayss John S. Shook, the Dem
ocratic nominee for member OF Con
gress in the Fifth Congressional dis
trict, was born at Antwerp, Ohio,
Dec. 18th, 1862. His father is Col.
w. N. Shook, a pioneer resident Of
PauIding county, who hewed farm
out Of the wilderness in the early
days.
A large portion of the nominees
boyhood life was spent in working on
his fathers farm, where he laid the
foundation for a strong and vigorous
physical constitution. He was an
apt scholar, and after fitting himself
with good common school education
at Antwerp he took course of study
at the Ohio Wesleyan University,
from which he graduated. He after
ward took up the study of law and
attended the Cincinnati Law School.
Several years ago he was admitted to
the bar and has for number of years
been engaged in the practice of his
profession, first at Antwerp and more
recently at Paulding, where he now
resides, maintaining aleading position
among the prominent attorneys of
Paulding county.
Mr. Shook is a courteous gentleman
of excellent attainments and acknowl-
edged ability. He is self made, hon.
orable, of sterling character and ex-
cellent habits. In choosing him the
convention made good selection and
fortified the party with candidate
who spersonally and politically clean
and spotless.
His Democracy is as straight as his
unsullied personal career. He has al
ways been Democrat and hard
worker for the success of his party.
He is popular at home and respected
abroad. He will make a strong can
vas and win a handsome victory in
While the Democrats of Henry
county had preferred their fellow
citizen, Mr.. Donovan, and labored for
his success, that fact will not deter
them from giving Mr.. Shook loyal
A large majority awaits
Mr.. Shook in November, in Henry
county.

1T is rumored that Bro. Russell is
as mad as March hare over the APP
pointment by Judge Shook of Mr..
Evers, OF the Denokrat, as member
OF the committee to examine the
county records of Fulton county.
Bro. Russell can't understand why he
was overlooked, and Mr.. Evers chosen.
No doubt Judge Shook was looking
after competent manand found him
in Mr.. Evers.

A struggle fur Liz.

SEATTLE, Oct. 4-The murderer oil
Charles H. Birdwell was captured this
evening in the Bayview lodgiug-house
by Detectives Cudihee and Officer John
Cor5ett, after desperate encounter, dur.
ing which Cudihee came very near losing
his life. He gave his name to the police
as Robt. B,anck, but said it was assumed.
The police were informed by Albert
HartlY, an elevator boy. whose mother
runs the lodging house, that man whose
actions were suspicious, and who al
swered the murderer's description had
taken room at the house the day before
Cudihee and Corbett went 10 the house,
Corbett remaining outside. As Cudihee
entered, he saw his man cross the hall
and enter room. He went to the room
and asked to have little conversation
with Blanck. Blanck pointed a revolver
al Cudihee and said, "Throw up your
hands," Quick as fash, Cudihee
crooked his arm over his head and dived
beadlong at bis antagonist. The desper-
perado pulled the trigger aDd the bulle,
grszed Cudihee's neck. Cudihee seized
him By the waist and threw him on the
bed, where a life-and- death struggle
epsued. Then Corbett rushed in and
beat the desperate over the head. 1t
the police station the man said robbery
was bis business, and that he shot Bird
well in self-defense.
