the two cars he was working on, crush.
ing in the right side. Russell was

DAME RUM0R MAKE A
WRONG APPOINTMENT

A story has been in circulation dur
ing the past few days to the effect that
superintendent of Schools Clarence F.
Carroll is to sever his connection with
the Worcester schools and go to New
York to take charge Of the Teachers
College connected with Columbia Uni
versty. The story had it that the
election of Hon. Seth Low as mayor
of New York makes necessary some
changes in the faculty of Columbia and
that Mr. Carroll has been selected for
one of the places and that is to be as
head Of the Teachers College.
Mr. Carroll was seen at his home last
night by a reporter for The Spy rela-
tive to the story and he says he does
not see how it became started. He
has heard it himself and thinks it was
started as a result o, a recent visit he
made to New York to inspect the Hor-
ace Mann School which is a part of the
Teachers College. He has wanted to
inspect the New York schools for a
long time and he went to New York
on invitation of Principal Dutton of
the Horace Mann School and District
superintendent A. w. Edison, formerly
of this city, and he went over the Hor-
ace Mann School He had lunch with
some Of the faculty of Columbia during
his visit and this is probably what
gave rise to the story.

her fire dance, but most of the celeb
rites of the brush and easel in Paris
refused to undertake the work, claim
/ ing that 1t was impossible. One day a
young artist presented himself at her
home and asked to be allowed the
privilege of making her portrait. He
was an American, he said, who had
won scholarship in Paris and was
there as a student. Miss Fuller gave
her consent readily and from that on,
Kronberg, for 1t was he, attended all
of her performances, watching every
change of color and sketching every
movement. At last he announced to
his patroness that her portrait was
completed and requested her to visit
his little studio in the Latin Quarter
and pass in judgment on 1t. In COM
pany with Nine. Nevada and her man
ager, Mr.. Stevens, the dancer started
for the Latin Quarter. After consider
able searching, the house was located
and up several flights of stairs the
party toiled to find Kronberg's room
at the top of the house. Hastily ar
ranging seats for his guests, the artist
exposed his picture for their inspec-
ton. AS the art world well knows, the
picture was startling in it's detail and
weird color effects. The visitors sat
amazed. Finally Madame Nevada
comparing the genius of the man with
his struggle to live while completing
his art studies, could no longer control
her emotion, but rising from her seat,
went to the window where she burst
into tears. Entries were then being
made for the Salon in Paris and at
once the singer determined that the
portrait of La Loie" should hang
among the masterpieces of the year.
She at once outlined her plan to Miss
Fuller and the two started out to find
the persons who would accomplish
what they desired. 1t would be a long
tale of how they pulled all sorts of
wires and how they finally compelled
the director of the exhibition to in
spect the picture taking him with
them by force and accompanying him
to the studio of the young painter.
Monsieur lie Directeur examined the
painting very critically and made a
number of suggestions to the painter
which were followed and the paint
ing was accepted and hung in the eX-
hibition. Kronberg's success was in
Simultaneous. The picture was sthe SEN
sation of the day and he at once re-
ceived an order to go to Morocco to
paint a variety of subjects, in which
pursuit he was as successful as he was
with the portrait of the fire dancer.
The rest of his career is too well
known to the public. In all his sue
cess, it is interesting to note, the paint
er has never ceased to show his graft
tude toward the little prima donna
who rendered him such able assist
ance in the hour of his trial,
