". VELASQUEz.
(Concluded.)


1t is very seldom that a painter emerges
as Telasquez did from the ranks of the
aristOcracY, and still more seldom that
the arlstoCracy. when as exclusive as that
of Spain, should not repudiate but delight
to honor him as an equal. This gives an
unusual favor to Velasquez's career.
With his handsome figure in superb cos
tunes crowned with honors and RESPONSE
bilities, he appears as an embodiment Of
tact and refinement, lover of the pleas
ures Of court life. The royal favor and
the liberal patronage of the court made
it possible for him not only to be indie
pendent Of the patronage of the church,
but to throw off the yoke of ecclesiastical
tyranny in art and dare to paint whatever
he chose. He was the only great secular
artist of Spain.
It is as well to frankly confess from the
start the limitations and weaknesses of
Velasquez's art. He has no imagination or
pathos; he does not conceive types or eX-
press emotions. His drawing is often
sadly defective and he seldom shows any
sense of the beauty of line. He often
composes weakly. and is crude or ele-
mentary in the management of Access
series and backgrounds He was very
slow in reaching mastery in his art and
his early work promised nothing remark
able.
On the other hand we admire him as

AFTERMATH IN THE
REPUBLICAN, CAMP
CAMPAIGN MONEY RECEIVED
AND Discussed.
Alfred Bouvier, Refreshed by Rest in
the Country, Presided at the
Meeting Of the Execu-
tive Committee.

The executive committee of the Repub-
lican County Committee met at the Bald
win Annex last night and considered
campaign expenses. Alfred Bouvier.
somewhat refreshed by a brief season of
much-needed rest in the country, pre-
sided.
The committee talked of campaign ex-
penses, and the discussion disclosed the
fact that the balance of cash in the
hands of the purity committee would
probably be sufficient to liquidate the out
standing obligations of the committee.
j. Fl. Mccarthy desired that a public
statement should be made Of all the
money received and the sources from
which it came and how it was expended
A. B. Truman. chairman of the cam
paign committee, moved that an itemized
statement be filed of all money re-
ceived and of every item of disbursement
He did not care what customs Were OBJ
served in the past, but insisted that a
clean sheet be presented to the public,
showing every dollar received, the source
OF 81 the contribution and the voucher Of
disbursement.
Max Goldberg suggested that the report
of finances should come from the purity
committee.
MIR Bowler explained that Mr.. Hy-
mans, chairman OF the purity committee,
would soon have the report ready. There
is a book showing every dollar received
and the vouchers properly numbered
showing the disbursement.
Further discussion brought out the
statement that all the bills had not been
presented for payment, hence the purity
committee was not ready to report
TO enlighten the committee generally
the statement was made by the chairman
of the campaign committee that the as
sessment Of candidates produced $4,000 and
the sum of $500 was received from other
sources.
Max Goldberg, who controls a bank and
Is quick at figures. announced that $500
was the sum total renewed and no one
disputed the mental calculation.
There will be meeting of the Repubh-
can County Committee Wednesday even
ing of next week. A full accounting will
then be made. Vouchers may be inspect
ed and questions asked.

GOOD NEWS FOR FARMERS.
The Rainfall This Season Promises
First-Class Harvest.

The farmers will have no complaint to
make this season if the present indica-
tions are an earnest of what the future
has in store for them as far as the wealth
er is concerned. The rains have been ear
ly and in just the right proportion to indi-
cate prosperous year for the men of
crops and harveSts.
According to the Southern Pacific Com
pany's daily weather chart, the fall this
year, UP TO I a. m. yesterday, is BIS inches
greater than it was this time last year
So far we have had 5.21 inches of rain this
season, as against 2.03 inches al the same
time twelve months ago.
Yesterday the fall was .3S of an inch for
the preceding twenty-four hours, and this
is about .04 of an inch above the general
average throughout the State. The wealth
er here was cloudy. with the promise of
SO remaining for the next twenty-four
hours, and the reports from all the in
terror and coast counties gave the same
indications.
That the weather will probably remain
unsettled for the next few days in the
vicinity of this city was indicated by the
barometer. which reaa 29.79 as against a
normal barometer of 29.H.

picturesque landscape enllvened with
figures and corresponds in Velasquez's
career TO Titian's st. Peter. MARTYR"
OF classic subjects there are but few;
a weak and bleary Mars the academ-

studies dubbed "Aesop" and "Menippus''
complete this series, least characteristic
or interesting of any. The Surrender of
Breda" was his only historic piece, and,
superb as it is, we do not regret that he
SO seldom forsook portraiture for such
elaborate compositions. But if we turn
to the field of pure observation there
seems hardly a phase of nature unex-
plored by the brush of Velasquez. His
inCursion into landscape is even more In
teresting historically than for it's own
sake, and he shows himself here as ac-
curate a transposer of nature as in his
portraits, though a less familiar one.
His views of the "Villa Medici" in Rome
are the best authenticated of his pure
landscapes, but in number of his por-
traits the landscape is but littl" second
in Importance TO the figures. His work
in still life and in animal life, his tavern
interiors and scenes of outdoor common
life, are comparable to the best Dutch
work.
In his favorite field, portraiture, he left
no class in society unreproduced, from
street beggars, urchins and peasants.

An Official Visit.

The past and present officers of the Su-
preme Lodge of the Friends of the For

coin Lodge for the purpose of making
themselves acquainted with the condition
of that subordinate. The officials were
received with all the honor due their rank
by a goodly number of the members and
of visitors. Under good of the order there
were offered a number of valuable sug-
gestions to be discussed in the several
lodges prior to the next session of the
supreme body. Lincoln Lodge will cele-
brate the third anniversary of its institu-
ton by an entertainment and banquet IN

sensual countenance he has immortalized
with a virtuosity worthy quite another

traits of the younger members of the roy
al family, the infants and infantas, whose
fresh, innocent pathetic faces he gives to

in his treatment Of pOrtraiture-half
lengths, three-quarter lengths, full fig

times stand out against a pure tone, at
times against a drapery, and often are in
the midst of a delightful landscape in
hunting or riding costume, and perhaps
with favorite dog. Aside from a few
earlier masterpieces, such as the Don

ceased to advance in artistic perfection.

asking him II he had been correctly
reported and received the following
reply:
1.-THE penalty given Coleman may be
called Just, but the failure of the state
authorities to protect him after he was
in custody Ia wrong, and any citizen
has a right to criticize 1t. The fact
that he was a negro, hardly above a
brute, is only the more reason for pro-
tecting him. If your telegram means
fight, l have the choice of weapons,
and choose cannon, you to stay at
Frankfort and at Covington. Please
don't send the militia"
The governor commenting on it said:
"This dispatch Is characteristic of
the man. II the penalty given Cole
man by the people was just why
should Tarvin object? AS to his propo-
sition to remain in Covington and
fight gentleman in Frankfort, per-
sons who know him will be astonished
to learn that he is. willing to fight,
even at that distance. If | had known,
as Judge Tarvin knew, that this man
was about to be taken to his death at
the hands Of mob would not have
kept a cowardly silence as he did, but
would have protected him. Ever since
