The New Painting by the Hun
garian Artist.

VI. Munkacsy's latest painting Of
scenes from the life of Christ, which is
destined for the international exhibit
bition at Budapest this year, is now on
view in his beautiful studio, No. s. av-
enue de Villicrs.
"Ecce Homo" is the title, and the
scene represents Plate showing Christ
to the crowd in a last effort to avoid
condemning him to death. 1t is after
the scourging and the torturing Of the
Saviour by the brutal Roman soldiers.
The crown of thorns Is on his head, and
little points of blood cover the fore
head, while in His hand has been plac-
ed the reed given him in mOckery OF
His supposed claims to be king of the
Jews Christ stands on the balcony of
the Praetorium, the figure bare to the
waist, with a wonderful expression of
majesty and suffering combined. PLATE,
in Roman robes, standing beside Him
and bending toward the crowd in the
court below, indicates Our Saviour with
both hands, mingled sCorn and con-
tempt for the crowd in His and gesture.
The appearance of the victim of their
hate has evidently excited the crowd
to rage.
There are wonderful Oriental types in
the Jewish mob, and the expressions
of vengeance on their faces are unique.
They shake their fists in anger, their
months are omen and one can almost
hear their crys of "Cruci(y Hum,
Cruelty Him." In the rear of the crowd
Christ's mother has just tainted away,
and there seem to he one or two dis
sentients from the general feeling of
hatred. The costumes are true to their
Oriental originals, such as one may see
today in the East, which has changed
little in two thousand years, while a
mongrel dog who has got mixed up in
the crowd, and the palm trees, visible
over the side of the court, add to the
local color of the picture.
The canyas is q very large one, quite
as large as the "Christ Before Plate"
and there are some forty or fifty figures
all life size, in the painting. Their
raised hands and angry faces are re-
markedly lifelike; they stand out frCm
the canvas in wonderful perspective, so
that one can scarcely resist the inn
preston that he is looking at a living
moving crowd, and the longer one looks
the stronger the impression becomes.

An I1Gucated Horse.

There is an educated horse in Nash
vile that would be valuable acqui-
sitiou to n tented aggregation of cqucs-
trian prodigics. In one respect this
horse is superior to the people of Mem
phiS, in that it knows NaShvillc's ways
and humors. The owner of the animal
evidently rcposcs the most perfect
confidence in it, for, without bril-
ole or reins. he drives through the
most crowded thorouGhfarcs, guiding
the horse by word of mouth, occasion
ally putting emphasis upon his orders
by using the whip. Those who saw
the intelligent stoed going up Vine
street the other afternoon at a lively
pace. without either bride or lines,
congratulated themselves that they
were on the sidewalk rather than in
the buggy it was drawing Nashville

Richard Harding Davis Makes Il
Bad Mistake.

This ptT.,lar author is credited with
the following remarks regarding his
popular gallagher" and in the Plon-
Ger Press we find the extract with a
few comments, which arc very much to
the point, and which may help the
Young author to see his mistake i'll try
ing to forget his small beginnings. The
reporter on any paper is as impOrtantin
his sphere as the editor or story-writ-
or, and Mr.. Davis should be proud TO
claim relationship to the reportorial
staff.
THAT story was all very well, hut it has a
rrportorial CurtuC~S and capitalization of
expression about it that have now scared
far beyond. 'GallaGhcr" has the thumb
marks of the poor. pawn-ticieted. free

of my life. ] Will sacrifice Ca laGher' and
the royalties thereon if people will only for
get that WAS once that scOrned thing-a
reporter.
This utterancc is an extremely I'M
fortunate one from every point Of view.
In the first place, Mr.. Davis has by no
means scared" as far beyond that ear

only by reason of the spirit and vigor
of his conception and the energy with
which he executes it. In the second
place the attitude implied in the re-
mark Is snobbish to Il degree. There
is no quarrel with the young man be
cause he is glad to be doing something
which pays better, financially and in
tellectually, than "hack-rcporting."
But TO be ashamed of it, to want to for
get it himself, and to make other peo-
pie forget il, is essentially the part of
the offensive snob. 1t allows us to sup
pose that Mr. Davis good breeding, of
which, it must be confessed, he some
times seems a little conscious, is so
much a pose that he could not very well
be anything but conscious of it. And
it also forces us to fear that the promis-
ING future in fiction which had seemed
to lie before him, may yet be dwarGed
and vulgarized by a particularly ignoble
sort of cowardice

SUPERSTITION IN FISHING.
The Virtue Supposed to Reside in

The Virtue Supposed to Reside in
the whiskcrs of II BlncI. Cat.
Superstition claims but little part
of my nature" said Willard Spenser,
yesterday, but l must confess that IN
fishing one meets the same incidents
so often that it Is impossible to as
cribe their occurrence to mere chance"
Mr.. Spenser Is considered one of the
most expert fishermen in the country.
He Is scientific from the backbone in
pursuing this sport. He not only makes
none can be purchased that will ap-
proach his handiwork. Mr.. Spenser,
OF course, makes all the flies he uses,
and there is not one of the various fan
cies of the devotees of Izaak Walton
which he has not tested.
L mean" continued Mr.. Spnser
that there Is a great deal of virtue in
the source from which you get your
hackles, feathers etc, from which you
make your flies. At least l have test
ed this in several instances and have
found my theory correct. One day l
was engaged in making sort of mon
grel nondescript fly. l put it together
as a curiosity more than anything else,
thinking that some time good oppor-
tunity to try novelty might come.
AS l was finishing the fly l needed
something to make the tail and Just
as | was thinking what would be most
appropriate. my old black cat came
moving into the room. Something at
tracted my attention to the cats whisk-
crs. They were quite long and of the
color | wanted. Without waiting to
consider l concluded those briStlfng
cat whiskerS would make i good tail
for my mongrel fly. 50 clipped them off
with my shears. Well. there was a
fly. the like of which l had never seen
before. l showed 1t to several eXper-
fenced trout fishermen and they began
20 laugH. Use thatT they generally
said why you will scare all the trout
ont of . stream with 1 thing like that
Wen. l tried it one day when l was
alone and caught one Of the largest
trout it was ever my good fortune to
get upon my line. l used it with great
success after this. always catching
large fish with it. until one day it was
snapped off by a big SpeCkled beauty.
l made another as nearly like il as pos
sible using the same feathers but sub
shutting some dogs whiSkerS for the
cats whiskers. | had placed in the first
fly. Strangely that fly acted as 4 scare
crow to the fish. They would swim
from it rs II il were a dreaded monster.
Thinking that the cats vhiSkers might
have some peculiar effect, l took out
the dogs whiskers and replaced them
with some | took from another black
cat 1t worked like charm. for never
did l catch so many fish with any one
kind Of fly as l did this monEral type.
1t seend TO he suited for all conditions
. and places, and when other fishermen
would 60 home with empty baskets.
l would reach my limit. for l made a
rule never to catch more than thirty
fish any ore day, and always throw
fish under I inches back into the Wa
ter. So. believe. there is a charm for
fish in cats whiskerS. All Of nv cX-

An Encouraging Sign.

The last election was the most extra
ordinary in the history Of the city In
many particulars. Not since the city
was a small village was there 80 small
amount Of money spent in an election
and never in the recollection OF the
oldest inhabitants was there s. little
drunkenness. Saloon trade was dull all
admit Men went to the polls sober,
attending strictly to the business OF
voting. The largest plurality was given
AIr. Pattison over his main opponent
ever given a mayor-elect in this city.
And now week has passed and all
seem at sea as TO who Will be the APP
bointeeF, which shows that the cam
paign was not run on money or prom
Iser. Certainly this is very gratifying
to the better elements of the city who
have desired for a long time that the
civ campaigns should be conducted on
this plan.
Now as to appointecs we admit Mr..
Pattison has no easy task. The Glamour
for places is very great, but II he con-
tinues to exercise as good sense in this
second step as in the first, our predIc-
tions Will have been verified, that he
was the best man for mayor that could
be named. He will certainly have a
chance to show his good sense and gem
uinc nerve.
We believe his advisors will be those
above reproach and not those seeking
office. If Mr.. Pattison lays the found
alton wall of his administration by
good appointments his future is assured
Tor higher trusts with which the people
will delight to honor him. We expect
his policy will be embodied in the
statutes and ordinances, and leaving
the amendments to the law making
power, he will only attend to the exec
tive part OF enforcing them.

following words regarding our esteemed
friend, the late Vincent Roy:
On Thursday. March ,, ut his home
in Superior, Wis, Mr.. Vincent Roy
peacefully passed to better life. Mr..
Row was pioneer Of the Northwest, a
staunch Catholic and firm friend OF
Notre Dame. He was steadfast in his
faith all through his long life even dur
ing the times when TO be a Catholic was
ALWAYS to be in fear of insult or violence.
He was a model citizen, ever foremost
in every charitable and religious work.
He is mourned by hosts of friends. and
all of his fellow citizens. May he rest
in peace.

The Hero of the Rebellion in
Cuba.

The leader of The Cuban rebellion is
Maxine Gomez. If there is a presi-
dent of the Republic of Cuba, he is a
dim figure that bears the name of an
old family, and i'll the lonely wilderness
is professional parsonage. The actual
authority, the personiticatiOn and vital
substance of the cause of Cuba repre-
scented in the instruction, is the old
soldier, Gomez. His name is on every
| tongue Of friend and foe. In the
Spanish fancy, he haunts the secluded
places, and the gaIloping of his horse
men by night disturbs their dreams.
The distinction Of his character remark
able, his ascendency undisputed, his
capacity as military man of the high
est order. He is charged with being q
soldier of fortune, and accepting brides
from the Spaniards; and it is said of
him by friends that he is not in favor
of Cuba becoming annexed to or a de-
! penuency Of the United states, but is Il
| believer in the old notion that there
! should be a league of the West Indies,
with Havana for Capital and with Great
Britain for protector.
| HIS home is in San Domingo, where
his wife and children live, his wife and
| daughters are music teachers and seam
stresses. Gomez has a son he has
managed to keep out of the war, who
holds a clerkship, and he has small
farm, reputed to be worth $4,000, aud
all this does not look as if he was land
pirate, that had sold Cuba to the
Spaniards eighteen years ago. From

The latest tribute to the powers of the
bicycle comes from the chlropodist.
He says that bicycle riding produces
the high instep desired by beauty-seek-
ers. 1t has the same effect upon the
feet as holding them in the stirrup, and
horseback riding has long been held
accountable for the Southern women E
