PRANG OF CHRoMo FAME.
[From Lecture of Louis Prang at Chi
90.

LFrom Lecture of Louis Prang at Chi
cago.1
We are present on the eve of a re-
naissance of TYPOGRAPHY. A revival of
it is coming in England, France and
Germany. 1t will in due time reach
our shores, and the demand will bring
forth men to do honor to the stone The
first move must come from the artists
themselves. Already several of our
foremost artists have tried their hand
in original work. Among them Joseph
De Camp is making a series of portrait
studies of men and women of note, two
proofs of which were presented for in
spection.
It is evident that in a work like the
present, where color in its highest and
subtlest form plays a most important
part, the quality and choice of pig
mentS becomes of great moment
Color, color, color These blue vases
red vases, yellow vases, were an en-
bOdiment of color such as we see in ma
ture hardly otherwise than fleeing in
the skies, or temporary fixed in smaller
creations of the flora and the fauna.
Only the Orientals and among these
pre-eminently the Chinese, have fixed
in their ceramics the very cOlOrs of a
sunset sky for our admiration and for
our permanent delight. They prove to
US that art can do what nature does
not do, and that is, give to US perma-
nent color in masses of the purest hues,
in the deepest and lightest tones, in
transitions so subtle as to entrance the
eye of the cOlOrist. The Chinese, the
Japanese, the Indian, the Persian and
the Moors have been our masters for
centuries in their application of cOlors
to their artistic creations, and we only
now begin fully to appreciate these and
to grow up to them by slow degrees.
We just began to realize the import
ance of teaching color in our public
schools, and for years I have preached
the gospel of color, which is now so
largely accepted as the creed of the
coming renaissance in art.

TELLER AGAINST TREATY.
Thinks it Would Not Prevent War
With England.

Denver May 3.-Senator Teller, who
is paired on the arbitration treaty, has
expressed himself freely against that
measure in an interview. He ques-
toned whether the senate could thus
legally surrender one of it's constitu
tional prerogatives and said that few
senators believed that it was wise to
do so if it were possible.
Great Britain he said, will not go
to war with us unless it appears to her
to be to her best interest to do so, and
no one acquainted with the history OF
that country for the last two hundred
years can believe that a treaty would
stand in the way of war if her interests
could be served by war"

P. J. Hindmarsh, who is now manu-
featuring his patent bicycle seat post
has returned to Topeka after a tour
through several states. I am glad to
get back said he to a Journal re-
porter. Il tell you that the people in
this section of Kansas are much better
off than the people who live in Illinois
and indiana. The farmers are in much
better shape financially. I have found
no place in my travels I like SO well
as I do Topeka. This is the finest place
to live on earth
in Chicago now on account of the facili-
ties for manufacture, but I hope some
day to start a factory in Topeka

Why 1T WAS HoT.-I have
heard of chatting dishes for years,
said Smiley Williams, 'but the one
saw for the first time hoored me
completely.
Il never thought much about the
blamed things, but somehow sup
posed chatting dish was some sort
of concern that they grated things
in-something that rub bed together
and mashed things.
THE other night, though, Bolton
and | went into a Madison street
restaurant for dinner. You know

hash of any kind, and so does Boil

for two, and the waiter brought it
on in so well sort of silver dish
nearly as tall as a cake basket. 1t
had tight cover, and when we
opened it it steamed like a 40 horse
power boiler blowing OF.
Il loaded up Bottoms plate, and
in the fret pass at it he took the
skin off his tongue, it was so hot.
Just like these internal places
Bolton growled. Anything you've
got to eat is blistering hot, while
coffee is always stone cold
After awhile Bolton took some
more hash and burned his tongue
again.
Holy Moses he said, what's
got into that hash?'
Il told him nobody was expected
to know anything about restaurant
hash, especially the fellow who was
eating it, but he wasn't satisfied.
well, we kept on eating hash
until We had enough. And do you
know that hash left in the dish was
hotter than it was at the start?
well, said Bolton, Il wouldn't
have believed my eyes, but with
most of the skin of my tongue I've
got to give it up Then he called
the waiter.
Say he said, in low tone, 'rll
give you quarter if you'll tell me
what in blazes is the matter with
that hash

Hanna and his syndicate of gold

hands on the reips Of government.
During the campaign and continu-
ousiy thereafter, journals of the
stamp of the Sun have been pant
ing countless rainbows of hope.
The thunders they have created,
prophetic Of approaching prosperi-
ty, have resounded and re-echoed
from one end of the land to the
other. But this clamor of the gold
press is all clamor without reality.
It recalls TO our minds the old IA
bic about the wonderful labors of
the mountain OF how the neigh
borhood round about was startled
by the mysterious movements of
the earth. OF how the mountain
trembled and laundering noises
issued from the depths of its Gen.
trail caverns. OF how muititudes
expectantly gathered to witness
some marvellous event. And what
happened =? After all this distur-
bance the mountain brought forth
mouse. And so il is in the case
before as. The heraldings of the
gold press aroused the anticipations
of its anxious people. The great
noise about what McKinley's cleo
ton would accomplish, had excited
the most eager expectations. We
thought that the said election would
result as had been confidently pre-
dicted. That great mountain how
ever, has moved, it has labored ;
and it has brought forth what? A
mouse. That is, we suppose q
mouse has appeared, for nothing
greater has been announced +; but
as yet we have not even seen the
mouse.-Centreville Observer.

ITALIAN LEADER DEAD.
volpe the King Of Little Italy
Asphyxiated by Gas His
Wife May Die Too.


Simon volpe, ffty-fve years old, of No.
3S2 First street. the social and political
leader of the italian population of this
city is dead. He was asphysxated by
gas. His wife narrowly escaped the same
fate. She is lying in the City Hospital
in a critical condition.
Volpe conducted saloon on the ground
floor of No. 2sl First street, which is in
the heart of Little Italy His apart
ments were over the store.
Last night shortly before twelve
O'clock. volpe closed his saloon and re-
tired. His wife Maria retired at the same
time. AS was his custom, volpe left the
gas burning dimly. He lowered the win
dows in his bedroom near the gas jet
about half an inch It is supposed that
a gust of wind blew the gas out At six
O'Clock this morning, his bartender, who
lives upstairs, raped on his employers
door to awaken him. He raped repeated
iy, and receiving no answer, was about to
go away when he detected a strong odor
of gas.
He summoned some acquaintance and
bust open the door leading to Volpe's
bedroom. In the bed lay volpe and his
wife, apparently dead.
Medical assistance was summoned and
the police were notified. valpe was pro-
nounced dead, and it was announced that
ne had been dead two hours or more
Mrs. Volpe was unconsciuos, but there
remained a spark of life in her Doors
and windows were thrown open and re-
storatives were applied. Efforts to re-
suscitate her were of no avail, and she
was finally removed to the City Hospital
where little hope is entertained for her
recovery.
Simon volpe was a CONSPICUOUS figure
IN al Italian celebrations He always
marched the head of all their parafjes
and usually took charge of everything by
the Italians In the Holy Rosary Church
he was the cntral figure. He was the
advlser OF his countrymen and his in
fluence was far reaching
