store for them.

The Quarterly illustrator under the title

remarkable in its finish OF detail and strong

Return OF the Prodigal,'" which the ar
tist considers his best piece, is a character
study OF ''darky'' cabin. in which the old
nanny" sits before a vast fireplace pre-
pairing the meal, and the prodigal stands
on the threshold contemplating the sur
roundings before entering. The theme is
serious and full Of sentiment, and without
the usual attempt at caricature that such
conception OF the title would suggest.
The most popular picture in the collection,

roadside playing a harp, while two fresh

The landscape in the distance is magnifi-

graceful and active.

Nearly all of his Ora wings Of darkey subjects
are full of comedy and true TO life. The
London Daily Chronicle calls Mr.. Helmick
that prince of comic painters and the
English press generally commend his pic
lures in very complimentary criticisms.
In Doctor Death however, he handles
a very serious subject in truthful manner,
which speaks for his clever versatility.

verted, and his Improvement is noticed even

science. Conscience recalling Intsimproved
opportunities. Conscience recalling unfor-
given sins. Conscience bringing up all the

rather for some ''touchings up on por-

however, as the likeness was very faith

There were no gray hairs and no wrin-

the style of the coat and the addition of

MAJOR COLEMAN claims we mis-
represented him, when we said he
was in Washington. We had the
word of his man Friday, McCulley,
of the ROane Comfy Republican,
for so stating. The republican
said it learned from reliable
source that the Major had gone to
Washington, but we now see that
McCulley hadn't consulted the Ma
jor about that particular editorial
and thus made a mess of it. Broth

blame us for that mistake as his
opinions and those of the republi-
can are generally so alike that
when we have read one we know
the contents of the other. We are
sorry of this little misunderstood

it will soon be satisfactorily ad-
justed.
