Splendid Portrait of Marie An

An Odd Ceiling Decoration-Notnbic
Portrait of n Boy-Thc Ihnnd-
lee Monotypcs.

One is so often asked about pastel. It
Is far from a new method, but the process
seems to be not generally understood.
Pastel pictures are always placed under
glass to prevent dust from settling upon
them. which could net be removed with
out taking the picture with it, for pastel
picture is really a picture in oo,or dust.
The writer remembers yividly OF facing
in q studio fifteen years ago a negro boy
who stood with feather duster in one hand
and q canvas in the other on which was
the pale ghost OF 4 man, all tAat was left
Of a then recently finished AMI accepted
portrait Of a gentleman. The boy explain
ed how he done made de fl and swep'
out, and was des a dustin de pitchers; "
but the explanation WIS not needed. There
are some situations that tell al in one
short, comprehensive glance. While pas
tells are fragile and may not BE- handled as
roughly as oil, when projected by glass,
as they always should be, they are the
most nearly indestructible and unchange-
able picture known.
Pastel paintings, literally speaking, are
pictures made with colored chalks applied
thickly and with that same body which
ter color guasche The canvas or paper
upon which pastels may be made is barely
rough in texture or the canvas is so pre-
pared as to resemble very fine saEdpaper.
The latter surface Is generally used. The
colors are dry, and before being
prepared for the artist are identical in all
three mediums-oil, water color, and pas
tel For the painter OF oil pictures they
are ground in linseed or poppy oil. For
the water color painter they are ground
in water with the addition of honey and
gum arabic. These mediums in the oil
and water color serve to make the colors
adhere to the surface of the canvas For
pastel work the coloTs are ground in wa
ter like the guasche, which is water color
as the theatrical scene painter uses it, and
not the tinted water which barely stains
the paper and is used to make the easel
picture so popular today. "A water color
has come 10 mean that kind OF a paper
picture. Pastels are ground, as the guasche,
in water with just enough of the adhesive
substance added TO make the grade of pas
tel desired-soft, half hard, and hard

used only in the finishing, where fine, sharp
touches are desired. The half hard is the
more generally useful of the three. The
soft are used for broad masses Of color in
background and drapery-those large
masses which painter In oil puts IN with
q large brush.
The pastel colors, after being ground
and mixed into an infinite variety of
shades, are nodded into cylindrical sticks

The Anti-Roberts Crusade.

The crusade against the Mormon
Representative to Congress. although
SLOWING little activity during the sum
mer, is breaking out again as the op-
ening of Congress approaches, and
from all sections protests are heard
against seating MIR. Roberts or permit
ting him to remain. Congress is the
judge Of the qualifications of its mem
bers, and as lie action of Congress is
largely influenced by the sentiment of
the country, it is pretty sure that mere
will De strong feeling against Mr.
Roberts when he arrives in Washing
ton. What will be done with him can
not be foretold. But If the expressions
of hostility continue to increase as
rapr-.y as they have in the past few
weeks, which is altogether likely, for
the prevailing opinion is against Mr.
Roberts AS experience will not be like
path of roses.
There are two sources from which
the enmity to Mr.. Roberts arises. One
is the polygamous practice in which he
persists, in defiance of the laws of the
country and the compact made by
Utah to gain admission to the fedora
ton of states. The other Is the close
relation of the Mormon church to the
politics oe such sections OF the country
as are under Mormon domination. 1t
Is hardly to be presumed that polyg-
amy can ever find good ground for Its
culture in this country. It's practices
are too apparent and too repulsive to
the vast majority of the people. With
out doubt the danger from the Mormon
church is far less because of the plural
marriages 1t tolerates than from its
insidious meddling in politics. Com
ing from Utah as a representative of
a political party Mr. Roberts would
have much less trouble in gaining the
confidence of the American people,
even with his polygamous record. But
coming as the representative of the
church and religion will not be
lightly regarded Sects are not receiv-
ed with welcome at the capitol, no
matter what they may be, and partic-
ularly if they come under the gulse of
church missionaries. Mr. Roberts has
no enviable task ahead of him, If the
agitation on his account is any indlca-
tion.-Pittsburg Times,

1t } with regret tnat we have to an
nounce that Senator j. B. Foraker will
no, be with us on the 27th, as has been
announced and expected, The reason
which compels the eminent gentleman
from coming is that his activity in the
campaign is making too severe a draft
upon his physique: and other places as
well as ourselves must suffer his alb
sence.
Senator Foraker would have receiv-
ed a warm welcome here, for his
friends in this county are many and it
has been seven years since he has
spoken here but proper care of him
sell will of necessity postpone his visit
to our city.
In place of Senator Foraker the
County Executive Committee has been
particularly fortunate in securing a
man who stands in a most exalted
place as a mpalgner-he being none
other than Senator julius c. Burrows,
of Michigan. Senator Burrows needs
no introduction to Marietta or Wash
ington county audience, for his speech
delivered here several years ago on the
Tariff has gone into campaign history
as being one of the greatest ever de-
livered in this county.
Beside Senator Burrows, we shall
have lie privilege of hearing Judge
Nash, our gubernatorial candidate, and
Hon. John A. Caldwell, of Cincinnati.
Boa are able gentlemen in the politi-
cal world, and will be heartily welcom-
ed by our people.
Present at this meeting to lend its
grace will be e peerless Marietta
Band, which will render a choice pro
gram of concert music.
This meeting will be such a one as
VIII stand out strongly as one of our
greatest campaign demonstrations,
and must in the nature of things bring
about great results for the good of the

THEIR EXTENSIVE HOLDINGS
ONE THOUSAND BARREL PRODUCTION
including Some of the Best Producing
Wells In This Territory.-George ID.
Appleton, the Purchaser.

BY far the largest deal ever con-
coGsumated in the oil business of this
territory was closed at Parkersburg
yesterday, and includes the sale of a
1OOO-barrel production and the hold
lngs Of T. N. Barnsdall and others in
Monroe county, Ohio, and Wood, Tyler
and Rtchie counties, West Virginia.
The purchaser of this immense prop
erty is George d. Appleton, Of Welles-
ley, Mass. While the price is not def
nitely named it is said to be in the
neighborhood of one million dollars
Mr.. Barnsdall controlled a three
four!hs interest in the property, the
remaining one-fourth being owned by
Longfellow Bros, Macksburg; j. w.
Alexander this city; w. j. Buck, of
the Ann Oil Co., and Fred S. Rich
1t is said that the purchaser, Mr.. Geo
d. Appleton, represents a powerful
corporation about to be organized and
to which he will transfer the property
as soon as reorganization is effected.
ne deal has been under considera-
tlon for about two months, and during
that time Attorneys Smith d. Turner,
of Parkersburg, and Charles A. Ludey,
of this city, have been looking up IT,
ties and attending % all necessary le-
gal points Attorney Ludey will leave
today for Woodsfield to place the
transfer of Monroe county stuff upon
the records and attorney Turner will
do the same in the couties across the
river
The property thus transferred in
cludes a number of the best producing
wells in what is known as the South
west field, and much of it has been de-
veloped by Mr.. Barnsdall and his as
sociates during tne past three years.
The purchase if this immense piece
of oil property by Mr.. Appleton and
the prospects of a transfer of the same
to a company are strong indications
that new and powerful corporation
is about to enter the operating field of
West Virginia and Southeastern Ohio,
to an extent that at this time it is i'm
possible to foresee.
In this deal Mr.. Barnsdall is still
sustaining his reputation as a fortu-
nate oil man and it is pretty sure
thing that his profits in the deal are by
no means small Nor is there any
doubt but that his colleagues made
neat lirtle sum on their investment.
1.le SALE however, 3oes not include
all of Mr.. Barnsdal's holdings, as he
retains his properties at Whiskey hun,
Ogden, Archers Fork and in part, at
Jackson Ridge, and will still be the
largest individual operator in Ohio or
West Virginia.

The Trusts and Commercial
Travellers.

The howl of the Mclean papers in
regard % the terrible injury which
trusts have done to the commercial
travellers of the country, and the "hun-
dreds of thousands" who are out of
employment because of trusts, is a
representative instance of Democratic
campaign exaggeratlon.
The Order of the United Commercial
Travellers of America is a representa-
tive organization, which includes a
very large percentage Of all the COM
mercial travellers of the country.
Here are the figures of its growth in
1899, as compared VIII last year:
New members for first nine
months of 1898. ........ .......1, ,965
New members for first nine
months of 1899. ....... .....2.413
Gain in excess of last year. .... 44S
In other words nearly 500 more new
members have been added to the U. c.
T. in the nine months of 1899 than
were in the same month OF the pre-
ceding year. and in all 1878 new mem
bers were secured in the first nine
months of the two years during which
trusts have developed most rapidly.
II the trusts have injured the com
mercial travellers, 1t manifestly would
also injure their organization; but the
organization shows big gain both
last year and this, and demonstrates
that the u. c. r. Is stronger now than
ever before. No better proof Of the
Wild exaggeration and falsity OF fay-
orite Democratic campaign fairy tale
could be asked.

New Trial for Wanko.

The motion to set aside the verdict
against George Wanko on the ground
t. at it was contrary to law and the
evidence, was argued this morning,
Wanko was convicted a few days ago
for voluntary manslaughter on his
trial for killing Felix Carr in boxing
contest.
The chief argument was made by
Judge McCluer, who went over the ev-
idence in detail and cited authorizes
showing that the verdict was not war
ranted by the evidence that had been
submitted to the jury.
The contest was a friendly one per-
mitted by the laws of the state, and
both men had taken proper precau-
Ions against inflicting injury upon
each other, wearing as they did, large
padded gloves. Wanko did not know
of Carr's physical condition. That
was not developed until after the au-
topsy was held Carr's vital organs
were in such a condition that the ply
slcians who testified that violent exer-
else of any kind might have caused
death. Judge McCluer presented many
good points in support of ais argument
He was followed by j. D. Wolverton,
who also presented some good points.
Judge Jackson reviewed the case at
considerable length in passing upon
the motion. He was of the opinion
that there were was no malice, and
that Wanko had no intent to injure
Carr, but that it was merely a mlsad-
venture, though a regretable one. He
sustained the motion to set the verdict
aside and award the prisoner a new
trial.
Wanko was brought before the
Court this afternoon and bail was fix
ed at $1,000. Bail was given with Al
Slmms, Judge McCluer and j. D. VOL
verton as sureties, and the prisoner
was then released from custody.-Sen-
