artist who supplemented his anxious in
structions by insisting that his child pupil
should carefully copy the old masters.
John Joseph Kaufman made his liveli-
hood by occasional portrait painting and
church decoration. Realizing that he could
never rise above mediocrity himself. he
wss all the more exactlng with the little
daughter who seemed destined to climb far
| above him upon the ladder of fame. When
just out of babyhood, therefore, several
old prints were shown the little Ange tea
daily that her eye and taste might be edu-
Gated. AS soon as she could handle a
pencil with neatness aud precision, plas-
ter casts were given her to copy; and al
ter she eketched them to the entire salts
faction OF her father, he insisted that she
should paint them in oils, in order that
she might master that power of relief for
which she afterward became so conspicu-
Gus.
1t would seem as If there were truth in
the accusations OF neighbors and friends
that the Kauffmanus pushed their idoized
| only child with undue severity, in their Ell
forts to make her an infant prodigy Al
| though Angelica's unusually sweet dlspo-
sit!on enabled her to ply her brush with
infinite content, her powers must have
been taxed to the utmost to have led her
to take up portrait painting at the age OF
TO- 1t is a well authenticated fact that
at that age she executed portrait OF the
bishop of Como, not at all affrighted at
the magnitude of such an undertaking.,
and ewing most plea ant PASTEL OF ner
venerable friend which gave satisfaction
TO all. Her two years stay at Como, to
which she always referred as the happsst
period OF her life, made such profound
impression upon Angelica that she VS.
loath TO exchange the romantic lake and
silent statues for the benefits OF an UNI
known city. At this tender age she had
already developed that power OF pleasing
which amounted almost to genius. She
soon found at Milan, however, a circle of
friends as devoted as her coterle at Como.
Her parents took her to Milan in order
that she might study directly from the
old masters. Leonardo da Vinci especially
hred her girlish ambition and she set
herself so diligently to copying his power
and delicacy that traces OF his study e
discoverable in all her subsequent work.
The city life. the old oathedrals and the
art atmosphere of Milan made a pro 'ound
yet stimulating impression upon the SEN
sltive child artist, and developed prsma-
turely her natural aptitude, and the non
ularity OF her work soon followed. This il
not the first instance Of that premature
success which eventually prevents tn.
tull development of a great power by
curtailing the helpful discipline OF earlv
and persistent drudgery.

ANGELICA * AuFFMANN.

Bregenz, Kauffmann's native home. Here
she decorated the parish church with
gigantic pictures of the apostles, taken
from old engravings, Soon she was APP
pointed to paint the portrait OF Cardinal
Roth, bishop OF Constance, and from his
castle at Morsburg she wandered with her
father back to Northern Italy.
At the age OF 20 came the great crisis OF
Angelica Kauffmann's life. Her play lg
upon either and clavchord was so excep-
tional and her flexible voice had so gained
in sweetness and strength, that many ad-
vised her to relinquish painting for bril-
liant operate career. While in a harrow
ing state of indecision, strongly urged to
the stage by musical lover and am
bilious father, friendly priest appea ed
upon the scene and so eloquently set be-
fore her the temptations surrounding the
stage, together with the penalties imposed
by the church, that she dee .ded t. follow
the safer pathways of painting She af-
terward commemorated this critical mo-
ment upon canvas representing herself
standing between the rival arts of painting
ana music, the latter art being personifed
by her lost lover.
After wandering through Bolonga
Parma, Florence and Rome, always en-
countering the same overflow of work and
the same idolizing consideration from the
rleh, talented and noble, particularly the
English residents in Rome, she was finally
persuaded by her friends to forego the
unusual art opportunities presented by the
ETERNAL city and to try her fortune jn
London.
Her artistic associations In italy had IN
some ways, been most fortunate. Wlnckel-
mann strenuous efforts to restore the
creek Ideals making so great an impres.
sion upon her that it was impossible for
her theqceforth to draw face without

AN ovERsHApowING MENACE.

Not since trusts have been known In
this country, and notwithstanding the
many instances OF their heartlessness and
management upon other than natural
business lines. has there ever before been
such a demonstration of their dangerous
menace TO the orderly progress of business
and the interests OF labor as the recent
action OF the American Steel and Wire
company.
The Post had something to say the other
day Of the uselessness, 80 far as business
conditions are concerned, of this arbl
trary action OF the president of this com
pany in shutting down dozen mills and
throwing about 5000 workmen out OF en-
ployment. It seems, indeed, that as this
move is investigated 1t appears only tho
more clearly to have been inspired not by
industrial conditions or business necessity,
hut by some hidden motive, presumably a
big stock jobbing transaction--or else a
cruel Indifference toward labor SO long as
the surplus output on hand was sufficient
to meet orders ahead for time.
The point OF special interest to the
country at large however. is the object
lesson which the fact presents of the
difference in the position OF labor under a
trust and under natural conditions. Under
the natural system where individual or
single company enterprise Is seeking to
make legitimate profits only according 10
recognized and customary business prin-
ciples. labor can feel secure SO long as
business Is fairly good There Is no spec
ulation in the stock OF the concerns and
consequently no "wreckers" or "Napoleons
of finance" In charge OF their affairs.
When business is flourishing labor -four
ishes.
In the artificial system these matters
are reversed. The big money" is made
by stock manipulation and speculation and
this In turn is based upon the manlpula-
tion OF the many plants combined into
the trust Profits are sought also not
by the natural laws OF trade. but by Jug

becomes necessary or looks feasible to hay
OF few thousand laborers and shut down
dozen or so mills In order to carry
through some gambling transaction or
shady deal, the trust cares not for APP
pearances or for humanities-the blow Is
struck
Under these trusts labor has no as
surance OF permanency of employment
let general business conditions be what
they may. The trust thus becomes a
standing menace to labor and the regular
order OF business. Whatever. therefore
may be said of them as 10 cheapenine
prices, or otherwise In their favor. they
still stand forth as dangerous and dis
turbng factors in the business and soca
economy of the times and ought to be de.
stroyed. II the lesson taught by the ar.
bitrary, uncalled-for and cruel action o
the president OF the American Steel anC
Wire company is not practically heedet
by the business and labor circles of tn,
country, then, indeed. have we seemed t

that conditions OF pssbiic opinion abroad
could be otherwise. under all the circum-
stances. II we expect 70 spread out over
all the earth. terrltorially or commercially,
we should display proper spirit OF liber-
ality IN our trade policies. We can not
expect 70 maintain a tightly closed door.
In effect, at home, and expect doors abroad
to open graciousiy for us. We can not
declare as polstich rule with us that We
are sufficient unto ourselves and that the
Americas are our preserves. and at the
same time expect Europe to applaud such
exclusiyeness and run after u.s." II we
are to seek world power, or world domin-
ion commercially, the first requisite Will
be to get and remain on good terms With
other commercial nations. No nation can
stand alone or against a worlds unfrlend-
illness.
The republican programme OF expansion.
therefore. goes badly with the republican
clusiveness. Such a plan must continue
the more and more, as II Is unfolded TO
arouse iealousies, resentment, retaliation
and concerted opposition among other
great powers, until the ostensible object
OF Expansion" commercial extension and
supremacy will be defeated. A grasping
nation dominated by grasping and utter
ly selfish and illfberal party can hope to
make only sorry headway WREN once It
begins to bid actively for world dominion
and it's principles OF conduct and narrow
ness of purpose have become fully UNDER
stood.
In word. McKinleyism is not only sap
ping the purity and vitality OF our repub-
lican institutions and popular interests at
home, but is raising up universal suspicion
OF and ill-will toward us abroad. The
apparent prosperity which temporary and
fictitious causes have lately produced may
be but the prelude TO reaction before
many years. greater than any from which
we have ever suffered.

because she was born in chur, capital of
