Mr.. Max Weyl spent a couple of weeks
recently sketching in Marlboro, and has
brought back with him quite a number of
extremely interesting canvases, which tes-
tify wildly to the picturesqueness of the
old town and the surrounding country In
pantable qualities, Mr.. Weyl declares no
place that he has visited Is richer. Within
an hours ride from the city, it is still primi-
tive and unspoiled. Its lowlands and mea-
dow pastures might easily have been Dor
rowed from Holland, and its quaint negro
cabins, tobacco fields, kitchen gardens and
stately manors belong to ante-beilum
days. These, with the river and the abun-
dant foliage, bright in it's fall dress, fur
nished an almost amending quantity of
subjects for the painters brush-too many,
in fact for a single fortnight Among
these Marlboro sketches is one showing a
tiny whitewashed cabin on a hillside by the
river beneath a gray, rainy sky; another
pictures a golden sunset across the many
colored marshes, while a third gives a
broad view of simple country, with a little
pond in the foreground mirroring the blue
of the sky amid a clump of bushes, gor-
geous with autumn tints. They are all
painted with that rigorous truth and deep
appreciation of nature which characteriZes
Mr. WeyTs work, but, what Is more, are
significant of having been done for the
sheer dellSnI OF Interpretation rather tHdH
with the thought of picture making. And,
as some one has truly said, IAN artists
play work is always his best work. Mr..
Weyl has received substantial proof of APP
probation this last week by the sale of
number of canvases, which is not only
stimulus to the painter, but may also be
regarded as a good omen for the opening
of the local art season.

Those who visited the Society of Wash
ington Artists last annual exhibition Will
remember with pleasure the charming and
mastery portrait of little girl, Grand
mothers Boa," by Anna Lea Merritt, and
will doubtless be interested to hear that the
painter who, though an American by birth,
has her home In England, is to spend this
winter in Philadelphia, where she has Just
held an exhibition of thirty sketches made
one October in village and hamlet of
old Hampshire. Mrs. Merritt Is the widow of
an eminent English artist, and though she
did not begin the study of art until she
was twenty-one, must herself be ranked
among our foremost women painters.

Two rather remarkable modern Dutch
paintings are now on exhibition at Merrey's
Gallery. One is by de Hoog, the other by
Neuhuys. Both are interiors, picturing the
quite prosaic life of the peasants. The
de Hoog is a large canvas, and was painted
an exhibition picture. In the center of
a large, bare, dark room, the family are
gathered around the rude dining table The
father, just returned from his days work
is. eating his evening meal; the mother is
sewing; a little tot of three or four years
stands by her knee, and in cradle nearby
the baby, round and rosy, is slumberng.

yellow long-haired dog lies with his head on
his paws, watchful and contented, on the

in this painting which Is truly remarkable.

ment which gets firm hold on the heart as
we'll as the intellect. The Neuhuys is in
subject and sentiment surprisingly similar
The table, the peasants, the infant yes,
even the dog. are again all in evidence The
same story has been told by each painter In
his own language and with marked individ-
uality. Both are unusual examples of the
modern Dutch school, and should prove
equally as interesting to artists as to the
general public.

Miss Juliet Thompson's portrait of Nine.
Cambon was also, for brief time this week,
exhibited at Morrey's. 1t is as clever and
effective piece of work as she has at any
time accomplished, and would always Win
for her recognition and plaudits wherever
1t were shown. Miss Thompson In this por-
trait has handled her medium (pastels)
with consumate skill and has exhausted its
possibilities as have few before her. Wheth-

qualities mot technically but artisticaIly
speaki,Np is something which only time can
determine; but its present charm and merit
none can deny. Miss Thompson is now in

Alpine Climbers Killed.

Chaumoinx, France, Aug. 1.-THE
two residents Of Paris, who recently
persisted from exposure on Mont Blanc
and whose guides were reported to
have been killed while descending the
mountain in search of assistance,
were named Staehling and Mauduit.
The bodies of the men, together with
that Of the guide, Culet, have been
brought here. The guide, Blanc, who
was supposed to have been killed.
was found alive at the bottom of a
creyasse. The fall of the guides into
the crevasse was witnessed by tele-
scopes from here and led to the sup
position that both men had been
killed. Blanc had a miraculous es-
cape. He had sheer fall of about
Ill feet, but was almost uninjured,
although he suffered from the effects
of six hours exposure on the ice.

MINERS REMAIN FIRM.
Fourteenth Week of Strike Comes
Without Break In Ranks.

WITHOUT Break IN Ranks.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE
fourteenth week of the anthracite
miners strike began today. President
Mitchell is authority for the state
ment that the strikers are in good
shape. Contributions to the relief
funds are coming in from many quar-
tiers now, and the dissatisfaction
which was first evinced over the dis
tribution has now disappeared and the
strikers have settled down to what
they believe is going to be much
longer siege than was first antici-
pated. A general review of the whole
strike region shows that unless the
operators can break the ranks of the
strikers by starting up a colliery here
and there the men will be inclined to
remain out for some time to come.
The amount of relief to be distributed
will not satisfy all, but the miners
seem willing to make some sacrifices
in that direction in the hope that
eventually they will win.
A 100000 contribution from the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen is
expected by the strikers within the
next ten days. 1t is said four hundred
lodges will contribute $50 each.
Other railway brotherhoods are ex-
pected to follow suit

Character IN Umbrellas.

Ones character is said to be re-
vealed with infallible accuracy by
the way he holds and carries an um-
brella. One enthusiast, who has
made a study of the public's umbrel-

would want no better guide in choos-

and carry her umbrella.
The man who pokes you in the
ribs with his umbrella, for instance,
does not alone announce by such an
act that he is rude or careless. To
the experienced eye he actually lays
bare the innermost secrets Of his
character.
The man or woman who carries
an umbrella with the point back
ward and downward is unassertive.
On the other hand, persons who in
walking carry their umbrellas by
the handles, with the points contin-
ually extended or pointing forward,

an umbrella in the middle and goes

Greyhounds are the swiftest dogs
known, and scientists say that they
are the swiftest Of all four footed
animals. Trained hounds can tray
Ell ut the rate or eighteen to twenty
three yards a second, which is about
the speed attained by a carrier
pigeon. These dogs are bred for
speed alone. Every other consider
alton is lost sight Of, and only the
machinery that makes for motion
and endurance is cultivated.
Foxhounds are also very fast tray-
elers, going at the rate of nearly
eighteen yards a second. II. Duso-
her, the noted French scientist, has
pointed out in his statistics on the
speed Of animals that little fox ter
riers trotting along with their mas
tiers who are driving or riding q BIZ
cycle cover mile after mile without
q touch of fatigue or distress.
Many animals akin to dogs show
even greater endurance. A wolf can
travel fifty or sixty miles in night
and be ready for a similar journey
the following night.

Wire us.d For pins.

Perhaps as striking a figure as
can be adduced in relation to wire
% its consumption in the pinmaking
industry. With but few exceptions,
ell pins are made from brass wire,
and the daily production of pins in
Great Britain is placed by compe-
tent authorities at $4,000, 900, of
which Birmingham supplies about
three-fourths. How this stupendous
output is consumed affords matter
Of no small wonderment, and when
the proyerbial trihing value of each
individual pin is further borne In
mind the interest in this branch OF
the wire industry will be still fur
thar augmented. Chambers Jour
