her fame and money Like Rosa

but instead of horses and COWS, her
speciality Is cats. In the early part of
the century her father, Joseph Au-
gustus Knip, was well known IN Ans
sterdam as flower ana landscape
painter, and educated his daughter IN
art, according 10 the Chicago Record
Her destiny was 70 be that Of por-
TRAIT painter, but she never liked IL
and determined 10 study animals. At
the age OF sixteen she exhibited AT
Dusseldorf the picture ~ "A Cat IN
the Window" which attracted much
attention, but the picture which made
her reputation was Tie Friend OF
Man. "a canvas six feet by eight, rep
resenting an old man weeping over
the death of one of his dogs, which
had been used for drawing a cart.
Very soon afterward she turned her
attention 70 cats, and she has painted
every form and attitude and character
and kind of cat and kitten. The usual
way that she works is oy placing a
cat in glass case made for the purpose,
with cushions which invite the animal
to a natural position. Although sew
enty-three years Of age. Nine Ron
ner looks twenty years younger, save
for her snowy white heir. What Is
most strange is the fact that one never
sees a cat at Nine. Ronner's When
| ever she wants 10 paint one she has q
model brought TO her.

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-05-27

Georgetown, Del, May 23.-A sensa-
ton was created here today when it be-
came known that Lawyer Cullen, the
chief attorney in the Gordy case, had in
his possession d letter which stated that
the writer and companion had plotted
the murder of Mrs. Lewis, for whose
death James M. Gordy is to hang on
June l.. The story comes from GOrdy's
cell, and he says he has been assured that
his attorney has the letter and that the
case is to be investigated. Gordy talks
as though he was firmly convinced that
the writer can and will be traced, and
he says he has an idea who the parties
are. 1t is in keeping with the theory adj
yanced by him in an interview on Tues
day last when he suspected certain per-
sons in Newark, N. j., of having worked
up the job and ,mpersonated him, as they
knew all about his private affairs. He
said the letter stated that there were
two in the plot; that they induced Mrs.
Lewis to convert everything she had into
cash, even her furniture, which was
sold to a dealer, whose name is given;
that one of them married her, then
brought her down into Delaware, as de-
scribed at the trial; that the accomplish,
who had gone before, met them at the
river and took charge of her after she
was placed in the boat and, this finished,
the murder began.

The Corbett-Fitz Fight.

New York, May 22.-The instantaneous
Photographic production of the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight was tonight presented
for the first time, at the Academy of
Music. A large white cloth was
stretched across the proscenium arch,
and those present saw an accurate re-
production of the contest, marred some
what by the unsteady movement of the
Photographic plates.
The chief interest centered in the ques-
ton as to whether Fitzsimmons fOuled
Corbett in the last round while Corbett
was down. The presentation on the
screen was so vibrant and unsteady, how
ever, that no accurate judgment of this
point could be determined, particularly as
Fitzsimmons' back was towards the
camera when he struck the final blow.
The general opinion was that no foul &C.
Cured.
The spectators, after Corbett was pic
tured as down, cried out. "Where was
the foul? Where was the foulT' This
was accompanied by shouts of There
was none. There was no foul"
The presentation as whole was won
derfully vivid.
