LANDSCAPE DRAWING.
Interesting Ideas For the Amateur In
Art-Sketches For Painting.


Art-sketches For Painting.
Though it is perhaps more difficult to
excel in landscape than in figure paint
ing, 1t is easier to produce satisfactory
and even valuable work This Is a
pleasant assurance, coming as IL does
from such good authority as Art ANA
teur. which explains as follows:
A long course of study Of drawing is
necessary to enable the student TO pro-
duce passable figure, but if he have a
feeling for natural beauty little prac-
tice will enable him to do meritorious
work in landscape. A sufficient mastery
of drawing may be acquired in a few
winters by studying from copy and from
still life objects indoors. That is suffi-
cient to begin with, for the better the
landscape painter draws the easier it is
for him to paint we'll and the more his
painting signifies.
The drawing which landscape paint
er executes with pencil or charcoal or
crayon before commencing to paint is
usually nothing more than simple
blocking out" or placing of the
principal forms which he intends to get
into his picture. Let us suppose that his
subject includes n large tree with rock
on one side and house on the other.
He says to himself: II will place my
tree here, near the center of the picture.
1t is to be so high, consequently so
broad The rock is ut such distance to
the right, the house so far to the left.
Neither is as high as the tree; the rock
not so high as the house." And so he
goes on making general observations
like these as to the size and position of
important objects and indicating his
conclusions slightly and without going
into detail
The student should continue to work
just as simply, at first, when he takes
up his brush. He should go ON working
in large masses, and should ask himself
Ito keep to cur illustration-just how
much darker is the green Of the tree
than the gray of the rock, how much
darker the shadows than the lights, what
relation exists between the sky and the
objects that appear against it, and be-
tween these same objects again and the
foreground. Little by little one will ac-
quire the ability TO introduce minor
forms, while becoming more correct i'll
the drawing Of the larger masses

There was a For Rent sign over the
polling place in the Fifteenth district. A
lantern hung over The door and the voters
had TO climb over piles OF rubbish and
paving stones before they could reach the
ballot box.
The booth was situated at No. 421 New
Jersey avenue, and owing TO the fact that
the Sixth precinct police station is but
TWO doors away, the crowd that gathered
around the booth was a very orderly one.
Fifty half-grown boys and men stood in
the street and watched the proceedings.
a man with u very loud voice and
checked trousers stood on packing case
near the door and shouted for his candi-
date. He had bundle of tickets in his
hand and at the rate he disposed of them
IL was sure that things were going his
way.
Inside, the judges stood about the box
and watched the voters as they came in.
No one was challenged and the proceed
ings were marked by smoothness and dis
patch. The ticket was straight Demo-
cratic, headed by NJ. j. McCarty, Joseph
Kraemer, and i. S. Jordan. with John
Barrett, Walter johnson, and Ed ward
Harbour as aiternates. The vote will be
q full one and the workers for each man
are confident that their man viii be
elected.
AT the close of the voting everybody
was hustled out OF the room except the
counters and the judges. Two stalwart
policemen guarded the door and the men
inside rolled up their sleeves and started
TO work by the light OF the lanterns.
Mean while, the crowd and the gentle
man with the checked trousers, stood
about outside and waited for the result.
Each candidate was willing TO bet that he
had won and each heeler was ready and
waiting to back up his favorite. They

Irregularities.

amusing incident of yesterdays arrest OF
the employees of the United States Lighting
Company, which demonstrates the weather
yane methods of the Commissioners. Febru-
airy 20, the triocracy issued q thirty
day permit authorizing the United States
company TO construct a conduit from its
plant to the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing According TO former declara-
ton, this permit was granted in viola
ton of Judge Bingham's order of last
granted the Potomac Light and Power
Company, but as the conduit was neces-
sary TO replace an old one, that had be-
come unserviceable through nine years
Of constant use, this slight frregularity
is pardonabIe. The new conduit was fin
ished the other day ready for the re-
ception OF the cable, and, although the
time limit OF the permit did not expire
until March %, the Commissioners thought
best to revoke this order granting 1T, by
causing the arrest of the men. Perhaps,
however, by this morning, the triumyirate
have again changed their minds, and VIII
allow the company To complete the work.
An additional evidence of the yasciliating
tendency of the triocracy it is reported
that they are now opposed 10 grade crossings
and advocate the Berlin system OF bringing
railroads into the city on elevated tracks.
This change OF sentiment demonstrates the
high-toned ideas OF our District regents,
but Us the proposition meprimarially from
young gentleman who made flying trip
to Germany last summer, il cannot be saidto
be original. although IL bears the impress
of being one OF the Commissioners cloud
scraping decisions.
But if the Commissioners would do two
things-drop the street extension scheme
and abolish the Division-the public would
try to overlook a part, at least, OF their
several indiscretions. The street extension
scheme would eventually saddle debt
OF more than $50 CoO, 900 on taxpayers,
most of which would go TO Improve private
property, and everybody knows that the
existence OF the Division has given Wash
ington an exceedingly undesirable notoriety
for immortality. Under a system or popular
government neither the financial burden or
the municipal disgrace would be possible.

VoTED FIVE TIMES.


There was but one ticket cast in the

was Forrest Han, ON Thirty second street,
and that was for Edwin Forrest John Sui
Ivan, and john Maher, rs delegates, and
David Lyons, John Ready. ana Patrick
DuEan, as alterHates.
large crowd began to gather about the
hall att O'Clock, and when The polls opened
q half hour later ii was all the police could
do to preserve order among the eager
voters. Many white and few cOlored Demo
Gratis were in the assemblage, and as there
was nothing TO prevent, voted early and
often.
Have you voted?n asked one OF the
ballot distributors of an elderly colored
man who stood by.
Vas, sub, Fse voted TO times"
We'll, here's anothef; go vote again;
there's luck in odd numbers
And he did so without hesitation.
There were men stationed near the ballot
box 10 prevent such proceedings, and al
though they acted to the best OF their
ability, with such an immense crowd 1t was
impossible for them 70 remember every
voter. The judges OF the Third district were
Messrs, Chris. Talbot, Michael Dugan, and
Thomas Whalen.

ONE ELEcToR WAS ARRESTED.


The polling place of the Fourth district
was located at Cropley's Hall. corner OF
Thirty-frst and NJ streets, and as early as
g O'Clock a large crowd had eoDgregated
OH the sidewalk in front Of the building.
There were two tickets voted in this
district. Arthur Small, Griffith b. Cole
man and John McKenna, as delegates,
formed one, and C. ID. Hood, Patrick i.
Moran and L. X. Reynolds the other. The
former was apparently the fayorite, and
for the latter there seemed little call. Mr..
Hood was about, and, with the assistance
of four or five negroes, canya ssed earnestly
for votes. A squad of big policemen from
No. precinct were on hand, but had little
to do, as the eros d was very orderly.
One voter, however, let Georgetown
whisky get the best OF him, and when he
went to cast his vote the second time be-
came very indignant upon learning that
he was violating rules. The police removed
him from the scene in short order, and
things then went on quietly until the polls
closed.

But little preparation had been made
for the event. She shoemaker cleared Off
his counter and pushed the old boots and
shoes away on 8 hack shelf. The ballot

hEELERS WERE FEW.

The polling booth in the Twelfth dis
trict was situated in the basement of No.
500 L street.
There was 4 sign on the window which
said, 'oysters in every style" but the
evidences of trade had been spirited away.
A small crowd stood around outside. There
was very little excitement, and the ''heel-
ers'' kept well i'll the back ground.
Some times they would approach a voter
and ask timidly if he cared to see such
and such a ticket, but as a rule they
were about as different from the typical
''heeler'' as they well could be.
Once in Il while a voter would stroll in
and deposit his ballot They often ad-
journed Immediately to the saloon next
door as if the process OF voting was a
very thirsty one.
Some one had hired a street piano.
which stood hy the curbing and served to
lend an air of joyouSness to the occasion.
In spite of the drinking there was no dis
order and the policeman stationed there
might as well have been asleep on the lee
side of his fayorite corner. He probably
wished himself there.
