The Views of Critics.
From the time of his first appearance
In the Paris Salon there has been a
wide range of opinion among art critics
concerning the value of his work. Some
have declared that his sincerity has
brought art to the feet of the world in
such an unsophisticated manner that he
stands alone among all contemporaries.
Others have declared that he was the
enemy of aerial perspective, depending
upon the force of his work to make the
beholder forget the violation of this
canon of art, but it matters little what
critics say so long as the public approve,
for they are the final court of appeal.
and Tissot, being dead. is still great in
the memory of the conservation of the
last years Of his life in work that has
found high appreciation in the verdict
Of all Christian people. without reference
to denomination or creed.
The Washington times., 1902-10-19

At the age of fifty the death of a very
dear friend turned his days of gladness
TO days of sorrow, and Tissot turned his
attention from matters OF material in
terest to those of a spiritual nature.
He commenced to develop deeply seri-
GUS nature and strong interest in re-
ligious matters. He abandoned his
former associates and sought the seclu-
sion of the ancient churches, and from
this time his attention was wholly occu-
pied in the formation of his plan for
the presentation to the world of a series
of sacred pictures illustrating incidents
in the life of Christ.
In the Holy Land.
Much of his time during the following
ten years was spent in the Holy Land,
where he made large number Of
sketches and photographs of places
made memorable by the incidents In the
life Of Christ and his associates. Dur
ing this time he was a careful student
OF the customs and dress of the people

Edgar Allan Poe's Weird Tales" which
contains some of the most morbid and
gruesome stories ever written. The
book was present from local artist
to friend of very morbid mind. In
appreciation of this fact the artist bor-
dered on each page with appropriate
illustrations and smeared the leaves
with blood obtained at local dissect-
ing room. Needless to say, the long
ing for the M IBID was satisfied.

give him more than human insight in
the great story of the Redeemer of the
world, and Tissot himself declared that
he was given the opportunity to see as in
vision many of the events in the life
of the Saviour.
His paintings occupied the work of
the following ten years of his life, and
the published reproductions of his paint
ings in color have given to the world the
most graphic illustration of events in
the life of Christ that this century has
seen.
His Paintings Copied.
Many of the paintings have been
copied in lantern slides and placed upon
sale at price that made it possible for
thousands to avail themselves of seeing
a far better selection of religious pic
lures than had ever been brought before
the attention Of the public.
The original pictures. some 500 in
number. were exhibited in New York,
Boston. and other cities. and were finally

OF Palestine, for it was his earnest pur-
pose to present series of pictures such
as had never before been painted, pic
lures which should be examples of the
truth of the manners of the people, and
at the same time abundant in religious
feeling and done in a spirit of rever-
ence.
His Best Efforts Given.
To attain this end he gave the most
earnest efforts of his life; he lived in the
land in which the events occurred, he
spent much of his time in prayer and in
religious contemplation of the great
mission of the Saviour while upon earth.
and as result he became SO deeply i'm
bued With an appreciation of the mag
nitude of the work before him that it
became to him consecrated task and

A Careless Bohemian Artist.

A Careless Bohemian Artist.
Tissot was born in Nantes in 1886. and
at an early age showed well marked ar
tistic talent. having had pictures ac-
cepted at the Paris Salon when he was
but twenty three. From this time to
the time of the great change in his life
at arriving at the age of fifty his life
seems to have been the careless Bohe-
mian life of the traditional artist. He
was dweller in cities, lover of the
pleasures and the frivolities of life,
sincere painter of more than ordinary
talent, and whose recognition in the art
world had been sufficient to satisfy the
usual man of his class. that of the world

GEORGE BUSH.
A Popular Attache Of the Carter Oil
Company Resigns His Position.
Will Go To Texas.

George Bush, popular attache
of the Carter Oil company, has re.
signed his position. He has been
connected with the Carter company
for some ten years and was classed
with the most practical and popu-
lar attaches of this extensive COM
pany. Mr.. Bush has had charge of
the large interests In Monroe coun-
ty, o until very recently, of this
company. After vacation of few
weeks, which he will spend In this
city and points In Pennsylvania. he
will go to the Texas oil field on a
respecting tour, and in all proba-
bility will locate In the Lone Star
State permanently.
Mr.. Bush Is thoroughly familiar
with every detail connected with
the oil industry and Is today one
of the best posted operators and
also In general field work, of any
man In the great southwest oil
fields. He Is a native of Tionesta,
Pa, and Is In the 53rd year of his
age. He entered the oil fields OF
his native State when small
oy, and has followed the
business ever since. His expe
rience and good judgment on all
matters pertaining to oil develop
nents makes his services very val
liable.
Previous to his association with
the Carter Oil company, he held a
position as general superintendent
of the extensive interests In the
Mcdonald, Pa, oil field, of Green,
lee & Forest. 1t was In this field
that the largest oil well In the
United States was found, and which
flowed $1,000 barrels per day. This
we'll was drilled In during the year
1890, and Mr.. Bush had charge ofit
and other large wells for which that
field Is far famed of having pro.
duced. Mr.. Bush Is a most genial
gentleman to meet, and can relate
numerous Incidents In regatd to his
experience in the different oil fields
of both the old and improved meth
DDS of operating for oil. He IS the
picture of manhood, always having
enjoyed the best of health and has
the appearance OF a man ten years
his junior.
