the insane glare in the eyes of all the
subjects portrayed on the canvas or
rather on the piece of bedticking, for 1t
is upon the latter material that the pic
ture has been painted This glare is
accounted for by the fact that the artist

from him that he raves. That the pic
ture and its subject possess merit of
decided order has been conceded by
many connoisseurs- To the close student
there are many details in the subject
portrayed on the crude bedticking that
plainly speak of the artists vagaries,
and to those unacQuainted with its his

able. For instance, the flags and cat
tails on the right of the group bend
toward the center, as though swayed

bend to meet them, giving the impress

ject portrayed as an entirety, they
plainly show the artist, even hidden
as he is behind the cloud of insanity.
The colOring is as dead in tone as
the artists own life. and yet blends in
its entirety, showing none of the glar-
ing Inconsistencies that can be detected
in many of the details. Who is the ar
fist, what his former life, his family
ties, his boyhood ambitions and long
ingS, his successes and failures until
the period in which his brain gave
away, will proba bly, never be known,
his past seems shrouded in mystery.
At the asylum in Stockton he was
known simply as an East Indian. His
birthplace was the island of Jamaica.
This unknown artist has a prototype
in the Napa insane asylum who has
traced one of the most grewsome sub
jects ina gina BILE, the skeleton of a child
perched on the shoulders of its mother,
whose eyeless, bare skull has an up

seem distorted in an attempted smile
on her offspring. The border around
this remarkable phantasy of a disorder

delicacy of tracery and out

ARTIFICIAL COAL.
The Latest Scheme of Thomas A
Edison.

Chicago, June ia special to the
Record from McAdoo. Pa, says:
The visit of Thomas A Edison to the
coal mines in this vicinity during the
last two days, has been the subject
of much speculation. Tt is definitely
learned today that a new process for
producing marketable fuel has en-
gagged the inventors attention and 1t
will be launched not only to compete
with the product of the Pennsylvania
coal fields but with that of China, which
has found ready sale on the Pacific
coast.
In fact, the primary purpose of the
scheme is to meet the demands in CAL
ifornia which the actively increasing
iron trade has made particularly press
ing. For several days r. H Norton,
former inspector of mines in Washing
ton, now representing the San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin Coal company,
has been here also and has been in
consultation with Mr.. Edison. The
quality of the California coal approach
es bituminous. 1t is the opinion of Mr..
Norton, however, that this coal, made
into briquettes by a new electrical pro-
cess, will be just servfceable as any
other, and, as a further evidence of his
confidence in this respect, since Mr.. Ed
isons visit here he has engaged a large
number of expert coal miners and has
chartered a Lehigh Valley car to send
them to California 1t is believed that
Mr.. Edison will devise a scheme to
make it possible to use the refuse of
hard coal, heretofore considered abso-
lutely useless

TRUSTS DEFENDED.
By President Adams of Wisconsin
University.

Madison, Wis, June 1.-two thous-
and students and townspeople heard
the baccalaureate address delivered yes
terday afternoon by President Charles
Kendall Adams to the graduating
classes of the University of Wisconsin.
His subject was, Irresistible Tendon
cieS' and his remarks on trusts and on
the imperial policy of the United States
and the colonizing European states
were somewhat unexpected and sensa-
tional. He said regarding trusts:
This great fact has been universally
recognized that in every free country
combinations have been the distinctive
feature of modern Industrial life and
they have been a result in no country
but a free country. The tendency has
been irresistible. because it has been
the logical sequence and outgrowth Of
individualism and invention. For ex-
ample, within a few years after the
invention Of the telegraph there were
100 companies and a dispatch from the
seaboard to the Mississippi had to pay
tribute to a dozen different corpora
lions. A law to prevent their com bina-
ton would not only have done violence
to the principles of individual liberty
but would also have continued to levy
an unwarranted tax upon the commun-
ity.
What took place in the consolidation
of the telegraph lines has taken place
in a thousand other spheres The great
railroad lines, the steamship corpora
tons, the mining interests. the iron
and steel industries, even the depart
ment stores, are the natural. the inevi-
table outgrowth of prevailing condi-
tions. The tendency is as irresistible
as it is natural
1T is the fashion in certain quarters
to denounce the trust as intrinsically
an evil. That the trust has observed
its opportunities and abused its privi-
leges I fancy no rational and impartial
person will deny. But it is unQuestion-
able that the essential principle of the
trust is inherent in human liberty
While expansion has its evils, Presi-
dent Adams said, they are far out
ffuences accompanying it.
While we may deplore and denounce
it as selfish and brutal" he said. I'VE
cannot deny the fact that among ma
tions as among animal life, there is a
tendency which appears to amount to
a law that the most worthy shall grow
and extend its influence, while the less
worthy shall diminish and finally per-
iSh.''

GIVE MEN JUSTICE.
And There Will Be No Room For
Charity Says DR.. Lorimer.

Providence. R. L. June 1s.-In his
baccalaureate sermon to the senior
class of Brown university, Rev. Dr.
George c. Lorimer of Boston took for
his subject, THE Scholar in Society,"
He said: Modern society is Pro-
metheus bound and the vultures at his
vitals are greed and vice; it is LAGOON
around whom twist the serpents of
misery.
THE terrible tragedy of the nine
teenth century is that the soul and
mind of man are being killed by his
body. Man is as he is pictured in the
poem, 1.-THE man with the hoe his
forehead pushed back and his shoulders
pulled down The fact of the matter is
that we have got to wake up and do
something to alleviate and eradicate
society's awful ills or the world is
doomed. AS Carlisle said: We've got
to have new society," as Ruskin said:
Our society is UNJUST; as Matthew
Arnold said: Our civilization is alb
surd.'
1T has been reiterated all over our
country of late, that the growth of our
constitution has made it necessary for
US to expand The constitution does
some times grow: it did when the four
teenth amendment was added. But 1
deny that there has been any growth
justifying this country in taking and
subjugating the Philippines.
I am not criticising the adminstra-
ton one way or the other; but I insist
that this argument for the country s
ing the same sophistical argument in
the case of the disfranchisement of ne
groes in the SOUTH
The system of organized charity now
in operation in most of the large cities
of the country DR.. LOrimer also at
tackled. The stress on organized char
ity,' he said, is another example of
the sophistries, which the scholar needs
to expose. You will. of course, expect
me to praise charity, giving; I am in
favor of real charity, but that charity
is nisnamed which compels a man to
turn his soul inside out to charity Off
Gals before he can get a crust of bread;
that charity is misnamed which forces
a woman to give her history before she
can get a garment to clothe her naked
child.
What society wants today is not
charity but justice-justice between
man and man. Do you say we must
clothe the naked. I tell you give men
justice and there will be practically
nobody to clothe. Do you say we must
feed the hungry; make justice to reign
and men will not be hungry
