Stephen Mathews of England and Mr.
McNutt of Indiana.
Mr.. McLachlan in few well chosen re-
marks expressed his sympathy in the
cause of woman suffrage of their REIN
ing influence at the polls. and moreover
he did not think an enfranchised woman
would neglect home duties in this cause.
In Mr.. McLachans opinion the hard

in the converting of their own sex.

ART NOTES

Friday afternoon in the assembly room
of the Friday Morning club a very small
number OF people enjoyed what a very
large number missed. Mr., Jules X. Mers-
fielder OF New York gave an art talk which
or, to be more exact. he sketched hastily
on to his canvas several pictures which
he explained as he painted.
Mr.. Mersfelder pretends to be the eX
ponent of no one school, nor does he
paint after any one method. His desire
Is to make his audience understand the
feeling, tone and quality in Il picture. and
incidentally the technique. With rapid
strokes of the brush Mr.. Mersfelder repro
duced last Friday with considerable fidei-
ty the distinguishing characteristics of
the Barbizon school. The peculiar indi-
vIduality of Carbot and Daubigny were
surprisingly reproduced. Caz;.n too and
Mesdag, the great Holland master. All
are entirely different in their style and
treatment of the same subject yet the
work of each is full of the tenderness,
the deep poetry that all felt in nature,
to which they universally turned in for
their subjects.
The disappointingly small audience put
Mr.. Mersfelder out OF touch with his sub
ject and he was not at his best on Fri
day, but he caught the spirit of all the
men he reproduced to Il degree, and when
he gives his next afternoon in the
studio 4 larger audience will probably
encourage him to even better things. HIS
versatility as shown in the gradationS OF
tone, of method in handling the paints,
the rapidity with which he worked, show
him to be expert with his brush. to know
whereof he does and says, and the pos
SCISSOR of Il talent that amounts in certain
WAYS to absolute genius. T.. M e..

Senator, what is your political posi-
tion upon the Nicaragua canal natter
Il am thoroughly in favor of the gov
eminent taking hold of the Nicaragua ca
nal and either directly or indirectly build
ing it. Ocean freight from from New
York to San Francisco or from San Fran
cisco to NewYork must go round the
Horn-10. 900 miles farther than would be
necessary if the great canal were con
structed. [ always have been, and am
today. committed to, the United States
controlling a waterway across Nicaragua.
If this country is to take her rightful
position among the great nations of the
earth it must take every advantage OF
such conditions and situations. 1t must
not truckle to any other nation but must
build. equip, construct and hold.
AS the senator uttered these words his
face showed the determined and intense
Amercanism that in this respect makes
him SO like the late James G. Blaine and
the martyred Lincoln.
At this point the carriages that were to
take the senator and his party riding
were announced as ready and Senator
Cullom. bidding the reporter good bye
and again shaking hands, promised, if
possible, to make the Herald offices a
visit, and with the ladies and Mr.. Ray,
