ART NOTES.

Mr. II. A. Johnson, United states con-
sui at Venice, sends a report on mo-
sales TO the state department, Their
secrets Of producing color and effect

says; but In the matter Of methods OF
manufacture and business our own
manufacturers have nothing to learn
from Venice" As TO prices Of mOsaiCs:
"A decoration simple in design and on
large scale would cost from l25 to $50
lire per square metre CS2250 to Si5 per
10.7 square feet). More elaborate work
would require from 25O to 400 lire per
square metre (Sij to S72 per 1917 square
feeO, and the price ascends to 500 lire
$40 In general" he adds ut may
be said that the cost of production both
of tiles and of mosaics Is small. The
clays and cements for the tiles are OBJ
tanned In the immediate region; the
smalts' of mosaic come from the ada
cent glass factories machinery Is in al
most every case uncomplicated or even
out Of date, and labor Is cheap. There
are no laws regulating woman and
child labor, but in any case wages rare

while so centesIml g cents) Is by no
means uncommon. In the Venice glass
and mosaic factories woman and child
labor Is largely employed, and the work
ing day Is about eleven hours.

The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1901-03-29

Robert A. Armstrong, who became the pur.
chaser and sole proprietor of the News prior to
the last presidential Campaign has assumed per.
sonally the editorial management of that paper,
and made very graceful initial bow last week,
enuciating in leading editorial it's future policy
which, according to his incribed words, is to be
greatly at variance with, and, in fact directly the
opposite that organs past and unenvtable
reputation as bitterly partisan and viciously per-
sonal He assures his readers that his purpose is
to make and keep its columns clean and pure, a
very commendable intent and one whose studious
execution the reading public will duly appreciate
His endeavor, he says will be toward the upbuild-
ing Of the city, county and state, an undertaking
most worthy of praise and encouragement. The
Telegram cordially welcomes him to the local
journalistic field heartily approves the course he
has announced and truly trusts partisanship polit-
cal disappointment and ambition for party power
may never detract strict adherence to that course
His conception OF the conduct of a newspaper, as
shown in his sslutatory, conforms, in consider
able degree to our idea, and we welcome not only
hin but his policy as WE'LL as happy contrast to
that of the past. That he will make the News
able and Influential if not subsidized by dctatoria
democratic politicians as has ever been the case in
the past, is beyond question, for he is gentle
man of high scholarship and brilliant intellect
