JOHN RUSKIN
DIED YESTERDAY
One of the Greatest Writers on Art Of
This or Any Age-A Short
Sketch of His Life.
LONDON, Jan. ao-John Ruskin died
this morning of influenza, agel eighty
one years.

John Ruskin, as he was known the
world over. was one of the greatest
writer's of the age on questions OF arr.
He has done more for the Development OF
the aesthetic in everyday life than any
other man, with the possible exception
of William Morris. His work Is 6ci per-
manent value to mankind.
In S1sas Ruskin published his first work
of note, Modern Painters. He was
8 competent writer on art, for he studied
painting under Copiey Fielding and J. d.
Harding. He met with great success in
this work, and in 1860 fifth volume OF
Modern Painters was published.
In 1919 he brought out THE Seven
Lamps Of Architecture" which vas fol-
lowed within two years by THE Stones
of Venice.
At forty-six Ruskin was, in the zenith
OF his glory. Cambridge appointed him
Rede lecturer in 1867; and The Senate con-
ferred on him the. degree of Ill: D. Next
he was elected Slade professor of nne art
at Oxford In 1884 he was compelled to
resirn the latter position because of Ill
health.
Seven years ago he published his poems
written -between the age OF seven and
twenty-slx In 1892 he published his e. riy
writings on ..The Poetry of ArcEi,ec-
ture.'' He also published many other
interesting works that gave hin fame
Mr.. Ruskin gave a great deal TO chari-
ties and public enterprises. For thirteen
years he spent annually nearly $4,000.
including in that The indulgence of a
property worth fully MILTON, which he,
as good as gave away. as lie did par
doned debt of $4,000 to a cousin.

BOAT HOUSE MUST GO.
The Committee on the BnthinE Beach
Recommend Its Removal.

The question of clearing the Bathing
Beach of the boat house and its undesir-
able accessories has been considered in
almost every light by the Commissioners
and the Committee on the Bathing Beach.
1t has been considered by the Attorney for
the District with the result that nc adj
vised the Commissioners that they we're
clothed with authority to make regulations
for the management of the beach, in
Guiding the permission to allow the boat
house to remain or to order its removal.
Tine Attorney. however. said that 1t would
mot be lawful for the Commissioners to
order the removal of the present boat
house and issue permit for another
Finally the Committee on the Bathing
Beach, consisting of Snowden Ashford w
T. Douglass. and William Tindall. have
forwarded recommendation to the Com
missicners TO the effect that the Major
and Superintendent of Police be instructed
to cause the removal of the boat house
ETC., beyond the limits of the beach 1t
is understood that the Commissioners will
approve the recommendation OF the COM
mittee and issue the necessary order.
The ground for this action was set forth
some time ago in letter addressed to
the Commissioners by W. X. Stevens. the
Superintendent Of the Bathing Beach. in
which he said that the owner of the boat
house had given trouble for one or two
seasons past in the conduct of his estab-
lishment. and that it had been place for
the congregation OF loafers who made iests
and coarse remarks about the people
patronizing the beach. The letter Of Mr..
Stevens also showed how the owner of the
