" THE BLACKSMITH"
Delorme's S5O,OOO PoiDtine q Masterpiece of Modern
 Art

The fiction of the reality in Delorme's wonderful painting, "The Blacksmith, ' now on exhibition in the art room of the Emporium. is almost magical. As you stand in front of the canvas it is harder to imagine the reality than the fiction. In a dusky, musty, rusty old shop, with the sunlight streaming in on his back and the charcoal fire fam ing in his face, there stands the bare armed, muscular forger, pulling the bellows rope and holding his pinchers ready to remove the iron in the coals; and the sparks fly out. He is a living figure-the flames, the sparks, are burning fire, and the sunshine is warm and alive. You see three qualities of sunlight. Through a dusty, cobwebbed window at his back it streams lavishly, but with subdued fervor. From some where else, in the roof, perhaps, there Is more mellow, diffused radiance. But from under the door, through the slightest unevenness, comes springing one ray of joyous, boisterous, vivid light, hampered by nothing. You gaze at this picture and are in the shop, in the dust, treading the rusty iron refuse, feeling the fire heat, hearing the surge of the bellows and roar of the fire. An, it is marvellous. Why, even the old an- vii has it's stains and it's wounds-its readiness to sing and its songSi

CAPTURE OF 4
 DESPERATE MAN
Brought to Town by a Brave Posse of Four Constables
 From Marin.
The Authorities Did Not Want Him Because Confederate Notes Are
 Not Counterfeit.

Constable from Novato, Marin County, with three stalwart assistants, brought a prisoner into the office of the United States District Attorney yester- day and caused great excitement among the bystanders. The prisoner was a nt- tie man, skinny, but with very bad eye, and there was no doubt at all in the mind of Deputy Attorney Schlesinger that he must be a desperate train robber and murderer. The strong guard and the fact that the prisoner was handcuffed so tightly that his wrists were bruised and bleeding confirmed this suspicion.
 We've got a prisoner here" said the Constable, with an air of great import ance.
 'I see you have" said Mir. Schles- finger, but don't you think it would be well to loosen up those handcuffs a little?"
 This was done, and the officer wiping the precipitation off his brow, announced that he had captured a daring and dan gerous counterfeiter in the town of No vato.
 Whats he been doing?"
 Hes been trying to pass a s1 Confed- crate bill, and here's the evidence" and the officer waved the bill in the air formed the Novato officer that the act was not an offense against any United States law, and suggested that he take the prisoner before some Justice of the Peace at Noyato and charge him with fraud.
 The posse went out with their little man crestfallen and got on a Sansome- street horse car to go to the ferry, and a dash for liberty. The four officers fol- lowed in hot pursuit, shouting like In- dians on the war path. and the unfortu- nate little man, who did not weigh more than 120 pounds. was caught by a San Francisco policeman and handed over to the sleuthS from Marin.

He Was Making His Regular Rounds for the Filn1er- Rollins
 Company.

Joseph Morris. collector for Filmer, Rollins & O., electrotypers. claims he was attacked by two men on Washing ton street, near Sansome, about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, who, after dragging him into a doorway, robbed him of $50. Before robbing him, he says, one of them struck him over the head with an iron bar, cutting a deep gaSh.
 According to the story told by Morris, he was walking along Washington street, and when a few doors below Sansome he was seized by his assail- ants, one of whom grabbed him by the throat. After threatening to Strangle him if he made an outcry, he was then thrown into the doorway of an empty house and robbed of his money. Morris was subsequently, taken to the ReceiV- ing Hospital, where the wound In his head was dressed by Dr. Conrad Well.
 As soon as the alleged robbery was reported to Chief Lees, Detectives Gib- son and Wren were detailed to make an investigation. They closely Ques- toned Morris, but he was unable to give the fainteSt clew which would lead to the identity of the robbers.
 He declared that he did not see the men, as they attacked him from be- hind, and after carrying him into the doorway they at once struck him over the head, the force of the blow ren- dering him senseless. When he re- gained consciousness a few minutes later the alleged robbers were gone. The detectives ridicule the story of the robbery They believe that Morris en- gagged in some saloon row and was beaten.
 When seen last night George Filmer, secretary of the company, said: We have not seen Morris since the robbery. He has been with this firm for many years and has always been a reliable man, or we would not have entrusted him with the collection of bills due us. Word came to us from Gates drug store that Morris had been carried there in an unconscious condition, but when we went there he had been car ried to the Receiving Hospital!'

This institution, the San Francisco Savings Union. of which am president. requires my time and at- tentiOn. l am also engaged in other busi- ness affairs. so my time is constantly oc- cupied. The office of Railroad Commis- sioner is one that demands attention. A man accepting the place should give his whole time to the performance of his official duties"
