Marie was pretty. demure and slight OF

home to be nurtured, cared for and edu-

To add to the Nervousness of his crime,
Luce intimidated his wife, until she stood

COMPELLED TO MOVE.
A month ago II became necessary for
Luce to remove from his place of habita-
ton. There were circumstances which
imperatively demanded that he should get
the girl out of the sight of neighbors and
compatriots, and he chose for his new
abode a tenement at No. 126 Plain street.
Yesterday the particular circumstances
referred to were brought to the atten-
tion OF Capt Costine. OF the Fifth police
station, who detailed Sergeant Rowe and
Patrolman Wall TO look for Luce
They apprehended him at o'clock last
night, as he was returning from his work
at the Baltimore dock.
At the same time Lieutenant Mowry
took Marie in custody and escortedsher
to the Rescue Home and placed her in
the charge OF Miss Denehy.
A physician was sent for who declared
that the 15-year-old child was soon to be-
come a mother.
A PLEA OF GUILTY.
This morning Luce was arraigned be-

He was adjudged probably guilty and

New-York tribune., 1900-12-23

Strafford, the profound poignancy which We find
in the very greatest portraiture, in some of the
works Of Rembrandt or Velazquez for example.
Mr.. Gust is eloquent over the numerous por-
traits painted Of Charles l by the artist on
whom he conferred knighthood. and there is
certainly much TO be said for Van Dyck's in
depreciation Of that noble melancholy which
We have abundant grounds for associatng with
the unhappy King. But Van Dyck did far less
for Charles than Velazquez did for Philip, of
that there be question: and it reminds
US that in the painting Of character the Flem-
ing did not reach the loftiest level Brilliant as
he is in that portrait Of Cardinal Bentivoglio,
which is one Of the treasures of the Pitti he
fails short of the supreme standard set by the
innocent Y" Of Velazquez, in the Palazzo
Doria at Rome Yet here again we must avoid
lingering over point Of criticism. 1t is neces-
sary to state Macaulay's eulogy with reserva-
tions, yet when they have all been made the
portraits remain masterpieces. Especially
strong are they when ii is not much a ques-
tion Of bringing the grave secrets of a great
soul to the surface as of commemorating the
charm Of feature and dignity Of carriage which
belonged TO the patTicians Of the painters time.
The frontispiece to this volume is a reproduc-
tion Of that splendid portrait Of the Marchese di
Brgnole-Sala which is preserved, along with
Van Dyck's portrait Of Paula AdornO, the wife
of the Marchese in the Palazzo Rosso, at Genoa.
The young man, mounted on a noble white
charger with flowing name, is dressed in black
with a simple white collar. In one hand he
holds his plumed hat and leans slightly forward
as though saluting the spectator. Fate has not
written much the countenance of the noble
man, there are profundities here; but there
is character of a sort, there is the character
which comes from birth and breeding There is
il nothing else, the grand manner" and all
through the work of Van Dyck it is plain that
the grand manner counted for him as something
in itself important, interesting and even i'm
pressive.
Take the famous portrait Of Philip, Lord
Wharton which hangs in the Hermitage at st.
Petersburg. BY this model Van Dyck was not

distinguished French philologist has here
collected the results of some unconventional
Investigations into an unfamiliar department
or linguistic knowledge. The name Semantics
indeed, If rot the study to which il is ap-
phed' seems to be Of NJ Brears devising: as
interpreted by him. II means the science Of
Specifications, as distinguished from phonetics
the science of sounds. His studies take him
chiefly through the field of Greek and Latin
philology; and those who wish to gain the full
value of the book must have a knowledge, or
the remnants of a knowledge of those tongues
and even a little Sanscrit, not to mention
French and German. besides English. But
since the words discussed and quoted are gem
orally translated, little is left unintelligibe
to the unlearned reader. NJ Breal has the quail
ties of his race in his literary style which is
lucid and wholly charming, setting forth the
stores Of a great erudition in a way that never
ceases to be interesting.
NJ Breal is vigorous opponent of some of the
accepted canons of philology. His position is
that intellectual laws have governed the devel-
opment of language. and he combats the no
ton Of an inexOrable physical law behind that
development-the theory that man has counted
for nothing in it, and that the evolution has
been like the trajectory of a shell or the orbit
of a planet. Studied in this way words take on
a new significance, becoming human records
and leaving behind them often in their changes
of form a story of the character and circum-
stances of those who used them. A will, dim
but persistent, according to NJ. Breal, presdes
over the changes of language 1t should be
represented he says, under the form of count
less efforts, of furtive attempts generally
fortunate, sometimes partially successful, TO at
tain TO definiteness in some specified direction.
The changes thus brought about occur under
different laws. chiefly psychological. Thus
there is specialization, by which the substitu-
ton of invariable. independent expressions for
those that variable is brought about;
when the Latin abandoned several different
su1fiXes that served in the early speech to mark
the comparative and superlative degree Of ad-
jectves. and retained only one for each: or
when propositions, originally adverbs, came into
use to denote more clearly and specifically the
general relations that were expressed by the
different cases of nouns. Differentiation is the
Intentional ordered process by which words
apparently synonymous take different mean
ings. Some interesting examples afforded
through the invasion of the NiOnnaz Swiss da-
lect by French; in proportion the French
word is adopted the patOis word of the same

You may notice the formula, but YOU do not
mind il, there is so much else TO enchant the
eye; there is the fine. flowing and graceful
oraughtsmanship; there is the beautiful color;
there is. above all, the distinction of style.
Lord Macaulay, speaking of Van Dyck's por-
trait OF Strafford debating to his secretary,
says; The account which Thucydides has given
OF the retreat from Syracuse is among narra-
tiVes what Van Dycks Lord Strafford is among
paintings" 1t is high praise, possibly just lit
tie too high. Van Dyck has not, even in the
New-York tribune., 1900-12-23

invited TO rise to the heights which he almost
but not quite. scaled in the portrait of Straf-
ford; but his grasp is absolute so far as il goes
and he puts before us living individual. Van

But he was no Grass concealer of the truth, and
If he does not cut to the bone he does not. for
that matter. give you a mere envelope of flesh
He made his sitters interesting. at all events
This Is a crucial point. Van Dyck may not
shake the imagination as Velazquez shakes it,
or as Rembrandt shakes it, but he never leaves
the spectator cold. Partly this is due to his
color. Mr.. Gust notes his passion for Titan
''Titian at Genoa, Titan at Rome. Titan at
Venice, it is always Titan at whose feet the
young painter places himself in alteration" and
to the day he died Van Dyck remembered and
emulated the glow of the great Venetian. The
memory reverts to portrait like that of Marten
Ryckaert, the painter, with his fur lined robe
and under garment of crimson silk, in the Prado
at Madrid, as to something warm. rich, superb
ly beautiful the mere thought of this painting
wakes an emotion Of pleasure. And so we come
back TO the words we have already quoted from
Mr.. Gust about Van Dyck's art being intended
TO please. not to create surprise or wonder We
go to Leonardo or to Velazquez to be awed into
silent admiration. But Van Dyck, for all his
courtly stateliness, is friendly. human. pleasing
He paints not demigods. but men; and though
he could occasionally skirt with almost
elusive results a theme with the pOtentialities
of tragedy in it. as in the case of the King or
in that of Strafford, his world is peopled by
types whom we need not take so seriously, but
in whose purely mundane charms we can take
a quiet, natural and sensuous delight. enjoying
sheer beauty of form and splendOr of color
We say this with the original portraits in
mind, but We hasten TO add that if ever an
equivalent was given for the actualities of a
