Sewall Pettingill of Wayne, chair
man of the board of county commits
sioners, was at the court house, yester-
day, to look after whatever matters
needed the attention of the board in the
interim between the last and the next
meeting. The next session will be held
at the court house, Tuesday. The ques-
ton of assisting in maintaining the
Hallowell ferry, which was under con-
sderation at the last meeting, will
come up at ther coming meeting and
1t is expected that the matter will then
be settled. The town of Winslow has
asked the county to assume a part of
the expense dncident upon the changes
being made IN the road at the approach
to the bridge across the Kennebec be-
tween that town and Waterville. The
law allows the county commissioners to
pay from. the county treasury a sum
not exceeding so per cent. of the total
cost in such cases. This request will be

BENJIHIN- CONSTANT.
4 NOTE ON THE FRENCH PAINTER RE-
GENTLY DECEASED.


The death OF NJ. Benjamin- Constant in Paris
the other day removed from French art a rep
resentative If not memorable figure. He was
an accomplished craftsman. with special gift
Tor producing canvases OF a specifically brill
liant character. His best work was done in the
earlier years OF his career. when travel in Spain
and in the East developed his taste for gorgeous
effects of color, and when his talent was in a
fluid state. Then he was uneven it is true but
again and again he painted picturesque sub
jects with vigor ana fiexibity. one of the best
pictures he eyer produced is the Moorish in
terror which We reproduce. Later his style be
came crystallized III the mould of the Salon ana
he became q shining eyenpar of what may best
be described as Official painting"
He painted pictures like the "Orpheus.' an
admirable academic study Of a nude figure set
in an austere Landscape, and he painted i'm
mense canyases like that which was shown at
the Paris Exposition of 1900 representing the
entrance of Urban II into Toulouse in 1893. to
preach the first crusade, In that vast historical
composition the Pope is shown on horseback,
surrounded 10y priests, acolytes and pages The
scene glitters with gold. it flames with red
paint it is all very gorgeous and spectacular.
1t is exactly the sort of thing that finds favor
in the eyes Of public officials. the sort Of thing
in which provincial museums and public build
ing throughout France are rich Yet admirable
as II IS up to a certain point this kind Of art
is without any subtle qualities whatever
whether of color feeling and quite without
personal distinction. As with his huge Salon
pictures, with his numerous portraits, Ben
Jamln-COnstant was workmanlike and even, in
a purely conventional sense, brilliant but never
essentially impressive. There was something
too businesslike, too facIe and mechanical about
Act
more commercial, his color more meretricious.
He received many honors, and he will for some
time be remembered a painter who was at
least capable of strong bits of technique:
but it is doubtful if any work he ever produced
brings him lasting fame

mystery. The mans face had been close to her
oWn-so close that she had seen the eyes blaz-

the evil lips drawn back from the white teeth
in a wolf-like grin Of hate and rage. She had
seen the white face cOrvuIsed with manlacal
