SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN ARTIST.

John s. Sargent, Now a Regular Mem
Der of the Rritish Royal Academy.
John S. Sargent, the American artist
who has just been promoted from asso-
ciate to regular member of the British
Royal Academy, has been painting
many years. His first exhibited work
was shown in the salon of 1877. 1t
was a portrait of young lady, and
cleverly done. The following year he
painted group of fisher girls on the
shore at Cancale. In 1879 he exhibited
"Neapolitan Children Bathing" and in
1882 "El Jales." Following these Mr..
Sargents work was series of tri-
umphs, which placed him in the first
rank of painters. In 1888 came Chill

Ganthercan." In 1885 Mr.. Sargent
went to London, and his canyases ex-
hibited year after year at the Royal
Academy excited great interest and
were the subject of wide discussion.
Among the most notable are the Misses
Vickers, Miss White, Lady Playfair,
Mrs. Playfair and portrait group
which he called "Carnation, Lily, Lily,
Rose" Mr. Sargent came to America
in 1887 and again in 1889, and the re-
suits of these visits were number Of
portraits in his best vein-Mrs. Mar
quand, Mrs. Bolt, Mrs. Elliot Shepard,
Mrs. Jack Gardner, Mrs. Kissam and
others. The French government pur-

could not aggrayate their offense OF it's

forth across the Mexican line, killing
white men and Mexicans, stealing
stock, harassing the troops and Great

leo.
The eight Indians did not stay with
one another very long. The cavalry
from Fort Bowie was in hot pursuit,
and over 100 cowboys and settlers
Joined in the chase for the fugitives.
Close pursuit forced the Indians to
scatter, and during the next two and Il
half years they one by one drifted back
to the outskirts of the reservation. They
have told stories, which have been verl-
fled, of the murders that Kid prompted
among settlers, both north and south
of the Rio Grande and the Rincon range
of mountains. As for Kid himself he
is wandering along the border killing
people once in while and getting
credit for many murders and crimes,
perhaps, which others commit. The
Government finds it impossible to cap
ture him, even with price of $4,000 on
his head

The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is of inferior price to that Of
New Zealand has a threefold explana-
tion. In the first place, New Zealand
possesses today a mutton producing
breed superior to that grown in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zea-
lander feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the
Argentine the sheep are allowed to
Craze upon the same bare pampas during
the dead season. The result Of this is
that the New Zealander produces an
even, we'll grown carcass, while there
is sent home from the Plate one upon
which hasty covering Of fat has been
put during the spring months Of the
year. The difference between the two
carcasses will readily be noted by any
one who pays visit to the cattle mar
ket. Thirdly, the freezer in New Zea-
land freezes the mutton on account Of
the breeder. and in the Argentine the
freezer buys from the breeder. The dis
advantage of the latter system, SO long
as the breeder has no knowledge of the
requirements Of the market, is appar-
ent. The New Zealand breeder selects
his wethers with care, rejecting any
which will give an inferior weight or
which is insufficiently fattened for the
butcher. He remits them in small
droves to the freezing establishments
and takes every care that they shall ar
rive in perfect order. The Argentine
breeder. on the other hand, makes a
contract with the representative of the
freezer to sell given number, and the
latter binds himself to remove them
within certain date. = New York

Mr.. Depew's Opinion.

Mr.. Cbauncey Depew, who is a
bright and shining member of Mr..
McKinley's party, does not incline
to the view that a revision of the
tariff upwards is needed to restore
permanent prosperity. In an inter
view in New York Saturday, Mr..
Depew says:
I'VE will never have permanent
prosperous times, until our currency
is put upon sound basis. That
sound basis means two things: First,
that currency can automatically re-
spond to the needs of the country
and of the widely separated localities
of the country, and second, that the
government shall not be in such a
position that a dozen spectators
can at any time deplete the gold re-
serve and compel the government to
either issue bonds to get more gold
or refuse to redeem its notes, which
is bankruptcy. That peril is one
permanent danger to our business
situation and the one deterrent OF
large amounts of capital flowing
here from Europe for investment.
A great many people thought as
Mr.. Depew does, several months ago
but were called anarchists for think
ing SO.

brainy legislature took it up and
vast quantities Of low grade oratory
was wasted on the horrible instance

tremendous flourish of trum-

Riding for a Fall.

Fresh in the saddle and with a clear
field the Republican party is already
riding for a fall 1t is disregarding
the very primer lessons of experience.
1t is illustrating again the unteacha-
BILE faulty of fanatical faddists, the
proverbial shortwittedness of greed.
Republican stupidity is Democratic
opportunity.
This is no time for petty factional
quarrels, cavortings on hobby -horses.
The Republicans have given the Dem
ocrats an issue on which they cannot
fail to win-the tariff, with its logical
corallaries of trusts, monopolies and
public prodigality. That issue must
be made and kept broad enough to at
tract all who are in sympathy with
the cardinal Democratic principle
government for all the people, and not
for the elevation and enrichment of a
favored few The Baileyites, the Nc
Millenites and the Blandites disagree
as to details. They are agreed upon
the main proposition. That, then,
must be the issue, because that ex-
presses the will of the overwhelming
majority of Americans.

out the>entire territory 1900 feet in
altitude above sea-level, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door exertion may be undertake

are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for summer outing.

their curative virtues. The most

Mere About the BlacksyiIle Postofiice

BLACKsvILLE, March 20.-This is
written in reference to sentence sent to
the Morgantown Post for publication in
their local columns on Feb.2 goth ard WAS
published in their issue of Feb. 81, 1897,
which was as follows:
"Our postofiice was given by the com
mittee to the Fletcher sisters, which is
not satisfactory with the great majority Of
the patrons OF the office
When this was read by Dr. George NJ.
Fletcher he became frantic to verv
high point and came to my home and
berated me more vigorously than | can
express.
And he in reply through the press had
card published which appeared in the
Post March 9th, 81, stating that your
correspondent from Blacksmith in the
last issue OF the Post, says:
Our postoiicc was given by the com
mttee to the Fletcher sisters which is
not satisfactory with the great majority
of the patrons of the office"
"The above item is utterly false; not
one iota of truth in it. Carrie V.Fleteh.
er, who is the party referred to and who
is an applicant for the BlacksvIile
postoffice received the endorsement Of "a
very large majority of the patrons of the
Office and also received the Enforcement
OF the Republican executive committee
of the county.
"More than 250 names are signed to
her petition which is positive pr Of that
the item referred to is a malicious false
hood"
"Then l replied to said paper or edi-
tors thereof for publication to vindicate
myself Of the charge above given as fol-
lows:
1.-The reference to the sentence about
the postoffice business in our town in the
Post dated February 9th, which called
forth such a scurrilous card as that
which appeared in the Post March 9th,
we beg leave to say that we merely ex-
pressed our opinion in regard TO the
matter. This opinion was formed from
what we have heard expressed by pa
irons of the office. And without the
use of unchristian and ungentlemanly
invectives we refer inquirers to the said
patrons for positive proof Of what we
then stated. Further in regard to the
long petition spoken Of in the card be-
fore mentioned we only ask how were
the naflies obtained, and how many
were real patrons OF our Office FL Blacks
vile Corr"
The editors wrote letter saying:
"We are very sorry the Blacksville
postoffice controversy has caused bad
feeling, and to further discuss it will
only provoke continued discussion. Let
lus drop it for the best interest of all
concerned. We thank you for your con-
| tinued good will and tfust you will re-
ceive this in the spirit it is written. Lei
us have peace"
Then / sent the same vindication back
as given above and asked them to pub
lish it, and the editors published the
same reply at the end of my locals given
in their letter. And now to all who want
to know the truth of the controversy
please investigate the matter and find
out the principle of some men.

Five of the six men elected on the
State ticket in West Virginia last fall
are Methodists, four of them being
members Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South. Although no one
thought of such a thing until after
the nominations were made, yet the
result Is quite natural. Methodism
has 81 per cent. of all the church
buildings, and also occupies so per ct.
of all other buildings as place OF
worship, Al per cent of the seating
capacity Of ali the churches, 80 per
cent Of the value of all the church
property and As per cent OF the COM

Peddlers.

AS the spring advances the peddler
will be abroad in the land with his
pack. Many people do not know that
the law in West Virginia requires a
peddler to obtain license costing
800, which license must be placed in
some conspicuous place about his
pack. If he has a one horse wagon,
the tax is $3.50, and 5000 for a two
horse rig. In most cases the peddlers
have no license and they ought to be
arrested and fined. There are some
honest peddlers in our own State who
either pay the tax or sell by taking Or
ders for future delivery. These peo-
pie pay their taxes and try to be hon.
est and they should be protected. If
a stranger is allowed to jump across
our border and sell goods for a
week or two without paying his
tax, why should not our own citizens
be granted the same privilege. Our
officers throughout the State should
either make all the peddlers pay, or
allow those "A West Virginia to be on
equal footing with strangers.
