FAME WON BY ACCIDENT.
His First Successful Picture Was an


His First Successful Picture Was an
Advertisement.
The great French painter, Bastien
Lepage, who died lately. was pur-
sued by unmerciful disaster through
his youth In his efforts to study art.
His mother worked in the fields TO
keep the sickly boy at school. At
fifteen he went alone to Paris,
starved for seven years, painted
without success, but still-painted.
He had just finished a picture to
send to the salon when Paris was
besieged and he rushed with his
comrades to the trenches.
On the first day shell fell into
his studio and destroyed his picture,
and another shell burst at his feet,
wounding him. He was carried
home and lay Ill and idle for two
years. Then he returned to Paris,
and, reduced to absolute want,
painted cheap fans for living. One
day manufacturer OF some patent
medicine ordered a picture from him
to illustrate it's virtues. Lepage,
who was sincere, gave his best work
to his advertisement He painted q
landscape in the April sunlight; the
leaves Of tender green quivered in
the breeze; group of beautiful
young girls gathered around foun-
tain from which the elixir of youth
sprang in a bubbling stream. Lee
page believed there was real merit
in it.
Let me offer it at the salon." he
asked his patron.
The manufacturer was delighted.
but first paint rainbow arching
over the fountain" he said, with
the name of my medicine upon it."
Lepage refused. ''Then I will not
pay you sou for the pictured" The
price Of this picture meant bread
for months and the painter had long
needed bread. The chance OF adj
mission to the salon was small. He
hesitated. Then he silenced his
hunger and carried the canvas to
the salon. 1t was admitted. It's
great success insured Lepage a
place In public recognition and his
later work place among the great
est Of living artists. Current Lit

Lord Churchill Brings vapii Youth
to His Knees.
AT an entertainment once, where
Lady Randolph Churchill was play
ing on the piano, q tall youth was
observed paying a languid and
rather insolent attention to the
music, standing close enough to the
performer to have his comment cas-
lily overheard by her. Lord Randy"
was close at hand, too, and pres
emily heard the vapid youth remark:

but without discovering the identity
of the author of the menace. The
next day, to his delight, he received
an invition to the Churchills' home,
which he accepted with avidity. On
entering the house he was met by
his threatening neighbor of the
night before, who, he at once dis
cerned, must be Lord Randolph. He
proceeded no further than the en-
trance hall, for Churchill beckoned
to the drawing-room, and out floated

To all overseers of roads in the north

looked over some work that was
done last year and I made some al
lowance likely that ought not to
have made with some of the overseers,
as the plan of work was new and we
got at it late and it was very dry all
the year. The fiscal court during it's
last session passed an order compell-
ing each and every overseer in Chris
tian county to have his section of road
well worked by the first of June and
if not the order then made it compul-
sorry upon your supervisor to report
you to the June grand jury and as
sist in your prosecution. To all
overseers in my district l would say
get out your hands and give your
section a good dressing up. Simply
going over the road in the old
way will not satisfy the law, neither
will it satisfy your supervisor. Drain
your road bed well, many good
road bed has been let go to ruin by
not being properly drained.
Throw all dirt when moved to the
center of the road bed and spread
we'll and evenly. Don't leave any in
hills or piles, as some overseers did
last year. If you do you may expect
to do your work over again. When
you order teams and plows on the
road always use the words "good
plows and teams, "and should l find
any other kind on the road they will
be ordered off and the parties will
not get any pay for them. All teams
and implements to be used on the
roads must be first class. The court
has ordered that but one pillow and
scraper be used on any one section of
road in the county, unless otherwise
ordered by the road supervisor
Should more be necessary on any one
section of the road, then apply to
your road supervisor for same. All
overseers will see that no encroach-
ments are made upon road beds, and
will permit no obstruction to accumu-

jury. | am ON the road and will be
along in the near future to see after
your work. Be sure and have your
road in good shape by the first day
of June, for after this date no excuse
will be taken. No chance to dodge
this time. The roads must be put IN
good condition by the first day of
June 1895. appeal to you to attend
to your section of road at once and it |
will save you time and cost. l shall |
ask each and every tax payer in my
district to notify me of any failure of

NEW YORK's RUSSIAN CHURCH.
San Francisco CIergymen Will Have
Charge of 1t.

San Francisco CIergymen Will Have
Charge of 1t.
New York is to have Russian church.
A priest and deacon will go from this
city to take charge of it. says the New York
Times.
1t is to be known as the Church of st.
Nicholas, and is to be opened in New York
shortly after Easter in house on Second
avenue, between Eighteenth and Nine
tenth streets Father Evtikhey Bolano-
Wit CHI and Russian deacon will come from
San Francisco to take charge of it. 1t will
be under the diocesan supervision OF
Bishop Nicholas of San Francisco, who has
charge of Russian church affairs from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast, including
Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.
The church proper will occupy the first
floor of the house, and the upper floors
will be given over to a library and resi-
Dental quarters for Father Bolanovitch
and his wife, and the basement will be de-
voted to the uses of Sunday school.
Nine. Eugene Lineff, formerly an oper-
attic singer, will conduct a choir of dozen
voices. The iconostas which will conceal
the church altar is an historic one. 1t was
owned by a Russian army corps, and was
last used in the field during the battles in
the Balkans.
The trustees of the new church include
Prince Prince Cantacuzene, the Russian
Minister to the United States Mrs. B.
MacGahan, widow of ]. A. MacGahan, the
famous Bulgarian correspondent; J. A.
Beliakoff, and Consul General Olarovsky
OF New York. Among the honorary mem
bers of the church society are: Nine.
Olga Kireef- Novikoff, Countess Ignatieff,
the Prince of Montenegro and General
Gourko.
Bishop Nicholas has subscribed several
hundred dollars, and many persons not of
the Russian faith have contributed hber-
ally toward the church. There are ortho-
dox Russian churches in Minneapolis,
Mimi; Slater, H.; Wilkesbarre Pittsburg
and Osceola, Pa, and in Bridgeport, Conn.
