Methods Used by Artists Who Desiga
Popular Grotesque Posters.
People who dine late at night in q
certain uptown restaurant may have
noticed a weli-dressed, wild-eyed, hag-
gard-faced, dyspeptic man deyouring
night after night with apparent relish
dishes which only the ultra brave have
courage to eat more than once month.
That man is an artist, says the New
York World, and eating indigestible
food is a part of his business, for he
is maker of posters. Since the use
of grotesque posters, built ON the lines
Of Aubrey Beardsley's phantom fan
cies and on the principle of Chimpanzee
Johannes savage sketches, has become
general as 4 means of advertising news
papers it is no more than right that
the world should know how the de-
signs are conceived.
The case of this wild-eyed, haggard-
faced, dyspeptic artist alone will be
cited. His may or may not be the
method used by all the better poster
makers. Every night he goes to this
uptown restaurant, eats a welsh rab-
bit, cold broiled lobster, two cream
rolls and dish of ice cream and drinks
quart of cheap claret. Then he goes;
home, drinks two glasses of ice water
retires and the nightmare does the rest.
In the morning he sketches the hor-
rors he saw in his dreams and finishes
them as the orders for posters pour in
He is making a fortune in the business

STATE REPUBLICANS.
Getting Ready for the Convention
at Staunton.

STANTON, VA, April 2.-(Spe-
cial.) 1.-THE Republican convention for the
Tenth Congressional District will meet
here tomorrow, to be followed the next
day by the State convention, and already
the town is agog with excitement Co.
lumbar Hall is ready for the visitors.
and the town is I'm holiday attire. with
bunting, festoons, and flags.
Most OF the delegates to the congress
sIonal convention have arrived. Others
will get in during the night. Some OF
the prominent Republicans who are here
tonight are II. II. Walker OF Norfolk.
assistant secretary of the Republican
State Committee; Colonel r. T. Hubbard,
of buckingham; w. C. Franklin. OF APP
pomattox, and General j. A. Walker, OF
Wytheville.
Tonight the Stonewall Band serenaded
their old comrade, General Walker,
and he responded in happy speech.
Hon. Jacob Yost, SO far as heard. has
no opposition in the convention, and will
be nominated for Congress Tomorrow.
This will be the fourth time he has borne
the Republican colors in this district.
The impression Is that the State con-
yention will make a short platform, and
unless the Allan-Lamb fight is fought 10
q finish on the floor OF the convention
1t will probably adjourn late Thursday
night.
