MR.. s. ARLENT EDWARDS AND HIS WORK ~
COLOR.
1t is considerable period since we first had
occasion TO refer TO the excellent work beins
done by Mr.. S. Arent Edwards in the proiuc
ton of engravings. printed in coIors. after
paintings by the artists Of the early EngIish
school Mr. Edwards has gone steadily on in
his interesting revival of almost forgotten
art. and each one of his plates has marked An
Improvement upon it's predecessor The en-
graver has just sent US proof of his print
"The Gypsy's Warning" after the painting bv
the Rev. w a Peters. r. y The design is
one of captivating grace and sweetness. and Mr.
Edwards sets il forth with admirable drmness
and hexibity Of line. His touch is remarkably
sure and eloquent around the faces Of the two
figures in the picture But what find most
interesting in this plate is the purity and charm
of the color. The work shows the most intel
Iigent emulation of the Incompatible standard
erected by the English engravers of the eigh-
teenth century. and vigOr of execution which
gives the print quality of its own. Mr. Ed
wards is worthy. in his taste and in his skill. OF
the older school and while he has not yet dis
covered the last secret of its wonderfully beau
tiful work he has carried his art to a point Of
DEVELOPMENT at which il commands respect and
admiration.

FLORENTINE NIGHT.
BY MARY ROBINSON DUCLAUX

BY MARY ROBINSON DUCLAUX.
ssu still is the Night; still as the pause after
pain:
Still and as dear;
Deep, solemn, immense; yelling the stars in the
clear
Thrilling and luminous blue of the moon-shot
atmosphere;
An, could the Night remain
Nay, not as the Day thou art light. Q Night,
with a beam
Far more dear and divine;
Never the was blue as these Uemulous
heavens of thine
Pulsing with stars half seen, and vague in a
pallid shine.
Vague dream.
Night. Angel of Night. hold me. and cover me
Open thy wings!
All bend above and embrace!-till hear in the
bird that sings
The throb of thy musical heart in the dusk, and
the magical things
Only the Night know.

When the death of Samuel Rawson Gardiner
was announced the other day the news meant
much or little, according as the reader looked
at the question of historical writing. Gar
diners personality was little known to the
general public; it was by his work alone that
he achieved celebrity. Those who prefer in
a volume of history the kind Of charm eXerted
by Macaulay by Froude take up the His
tory of the Commonwealth and ProtectOrate'
only to put it down after reading compara-
lively few pages: they find it heavy and dull.
Those who 90 to history for facts authorita-
lively stated long ago counted Gardiner among
their fayorite authors. They must admit, if
they are fair. that he was far from making
great literature out of his material; they must
regret that he lacked the gift of an enhancing
style. But while it is unlikely that his fame
will ever be brilliant it is certain that his
works viii endure. He was one of the most
thorough scholars of his time an historian
whom no serious student can ever afford to
neglect; and his loss is one which cannot he

The log roller is once more an object of more
or less heated discussion. \ writer in The
Pail Mall Magazine" declares that hc knows
nothing whatever of log rolling in modern
literary life. WhereupOn Mr. G. n Shorter
turns upon him and says Il am quite satiSfe!
that log rolling is to be recognized everywhere
and that when, in the columns of this journal
or OF that one sees one or other poet pro-
claimed as the greatest genius of the age we

quently dined at that famous poets table,
1t Is, of course, a question on which one might
argue until the crack of doom, for the very
GOOD reason that there is much to be said on
both sides of the controversy. There is an i'm
mense amount of favorable criticism printed
which, whether justified or not is absolutely
Independent Of personal influence But to say
that one knows nothing whatever of log rolling
in modern literary life is to confess that one
has a very slight acquaintance with that life
Log rolling goes on around us every day log
rolling always will go on. There are authors
who apparently derive profound satisfaction
from review written in a strain of eulogy for
sweet friendships sake. There are critics who
seem to think that sort of thing legitimate
But as the efforts of these folk are futile as
all the log rolling IN the world won't turn bad
book into a good one or gain for il permanent
position, il is perhaps hardly worth while to
give much thought to the question as to
whether log rolling is fact or myth.

NEGRO WAS SHOT IN LEG AND DIED BEFORE MINERS COULD STRING HIM UP-NoT A MAN MASKED.

Marshfield, Ore, September 1S-Alonzo Tucker, negro, who assaulted Mrs. Dennis near Liboey yesterday, was lynched today A body of coal miners heavily armed marched into town last evening. The marshal who had Tucker in custody attempted to take him from the Jail just as the miners entered and a rush was made for the negro. He man aged to give his custodian the slip and jumped under the wharf into the mud flats and eluded both officers and mob until today. The miners stationed armed guards at every point of egress from the city.
 The patrol was kept up all night and at one time there was loud talk of lynch ing the officers who allowed Tucker to escape. Every corner of the town was searched and finally two boys located the fugitive under a store. The boys fired at him with air guns and drove him from his hiding place. As he, emerged Q ball from rifle caught him in the right leg.
 Tucker ran into the store and was fol- lowed by the miners who started to string him up in the store but they decided to take him to the scene of his crime. A start was made but the negro died from his wound and the mob hanged him to a. beam on the South Marshfield bridge There was not a masked man fin the crowd and everything was done in broad daylight.

PERJURY CHARGES

CIRCUIT ATTORNEY FOLK FILES INFORMATION AGAINST FORMER DELEGATEs-GRAND JURY TO BE KEPT BUSY.

St. Louis, September 1S.-Circuit Attor- ney Folk today filed informations charg- ing former delegates Hannigan, Denny, Albright and Bersch with perjury. This action was taken as the result of testi- mony before the grand jury by the ac- cused who denied any knowledge of the reported paymant of S75,O0O to members of the house combine by the Suburban Railway company to secure a certain franchise. The information in effect Is the same as an indictment, and can un- der the statues of Missouri be issued at the discretion of the circuit attorney. The one member and five former mem bers of the house of delegates who rest under several charges of bribery and perjury, and who have not yet surren- dered to the authorities have until to- morrow to give themselves up. After that time they will be fugitives under the law. If they do not put in appearance will issue notices to be sent all over the country offering reward Of $sD for the apprehension of each of the six men.
 The work of the present grand jury which has been Investigating municipal poodle cases will come to an end, as Circuit Attorney Folk will shortly have to give his entire attention to the trial of a number of the indicted men. The circuit attorney states that enough re- mains undone to keep the grand jury busy for six months. As soon as these trials are out of the way that body will resume the investigation.
