WHERE AMERICAN ART Is LACKING.
Too Much of Mere Suggestion and
SketchinesS.
S~cribner's Magazine.

ScrlDner Magazine.
Let me speak as briefly as possible of
some OF the qualities in which our art
seems to me TO be deficient, emphasizing
once more before l do so its great general
excellence and the fine achievements of
some or those whose names we should all
put down If we were to make a list of our
greatest men. Our landscape painting,
JudGed by the highest possible standard, is,
L think, often lacking in the highest forms
Oh dignity n style. The absence OF fine
lines is particularly noticeable. The au-
tumn season, with it's reds, browns, yell
lows and grays, is seen to be a favOrite sub
Ject, and the spring motives are likewise in
great favor. The spring pictures are too
often merely pretty, and the autumn pic
lures too often merely rich" The beauti-
ful summer greens and the depletion of
noble trees near to the spectator in the
perspective are pretty generally avoided.
How fine a green picture can be made we
may see when we look at Inness's Summer
Silence We have no living artist who
can paint a picture as fine as that. Some
OF our landscape painters. again, seem to
be too intent on obtaining what may be
called decorative effect. which is secured by
agreeable arrangement OF color, and fail to
be moved by the grand beauty Of fine lines.
They miss the virility produced by firm,
strong drawing.
None too numerous are the painters who,
In treating subject pictures q refer to easel
pictures, and not mural painting), have the
patience, perseverance and grit to carry
their work through the suggestive stages on
beyond into completeness, where form sug-
gested must become form we'll defined, and
color massed without much detail must be-
come color holding good" after IL has
passed through NAM notifications of light
and shade, and covering many pieces of
modelling where form must not be, If not
exact, yet so nearly so as to give the sem
blance of truth. There is too much sug-
gestiOn, and too much giving only what
may be given in a very conscientious and
at the same time skilful sketch. and too lit
tie of ~vanquishing the manifold difficulties
which constitute a performance which may
be called complete.

FEEL SURE OF VICTORY
PRESIDENT MITCHELL CONFIDENT
STRIKING MINERS WILL WIN.
Encourage His Followers Before
Starting for IndIanapolis-Quiet
Day in Anthracite Field.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Aug. 16.-President
Mitchell left for Indianapolis late to-day.
Before going he said he had received re-
ports from every section of the strike re-
gion and they showed that the strikers
were standing firm and more confident
of victory than ever. Mr.. Mitchell said he
shared in this belief with his followers.
No attempt was made TO resume work at
the Warnke washery to-day, and as a re-
suit everything was quiet in Duryea. The
owners of the washery say they will start
up their works next Tuesday, and if the
sheriff does not give them protection they
will make an appeal to the Governor for
state troops. Sheriff Jacobs says he will
do all in his power 10 preserve order, but
if affairs get beyond his control he will
have to call on the state authorities for
aid. The United Mine Workers are said
to be putting forth their best efforts to
have the strikers at Duryea remain away
from the washery, but the foreign element
are stubborn and not inclined TO be gov
erned by what the Eng-lish-speaking lead
ers say.

Wilson says the visit here will be brief,

Heroic Hay Fever Remedy.
New York Letter.

~ -
Archibald Turner, a prominent Cincinnati
lawyer. who, with his wife and two chill
dren, is spending a few weeks vacation in
this city, was badly frOstbitten yesterday.
Mr.. Turner has for some years been sub
ject to hay fever. He has tried many DIFF
ferent remedies for his trouble, such as
mountain and sea trips. but all in vain.
Finally a friend told him of a cure that
had resulted successfully by freezing the
patient in a cold storage vault. Mr.. Tur-
ner determined to try the cure. Cancelled
all his social engagements and hied himself
to a cold storage warehouse.
Mr.. Turner wore summer attire. He was
she vn into a vault where the temperature
was S degrees below zero and left to
wander at Will. Around him were huge
carcasses of frozen bullock, chickens, hams,
etc, all as solid as rocks with the frost.
Mr.. Turner remained in the vault for about
an hour and a half. Finally his bones began
TO ache and after knocking loudly at the
large steel door for five minutes he was
let out.
Shortly after this Mr.. Turner discovered
that his ears and cheeks had become
abnormally swollen and inflamed. He is
at present remaining indoors and applying
remedies 10 reduce the swelling. He says
that he is experiencing at last temporary
relief from the hay fever.

In the Anthony Republican Mr.. r. ].
Alexander is giving some "Recollections Of
Fifty Years Ago" particularly with respect
to his life in Colorado and New Mexico. He
became the friend of Gen. Kit Carson, and
writes thus of his first Introduction TO the
great plainsman:
ION the second day after our arrival at
Taos, Carson visited at our camp all day.
He appeared to feel that he had met old
friends, as some of our party knew some
of the people he knew. One particular
Renaissance made him laugh heartily. In
the spring of 1850 the writer was attending
court at independence, Mo. Carson, not
then known 10 the writer, was in the court
room listening to the trial of a divorce case
in which Judge Rupel =. Hicks was attor-
ney for the defendant. Hicks closed his
remarks with the following
perOration: And when l am dead and de-
funct in the abstract, may my hide be
tanned into ~umhead on which to beat
into generations yet unborn that | taught

Great Round World.
AS soon as a child begins to think the
ties begin to hold him. / know of a
y%Oungster eight years old who announced
to his mother that he intended to run away.
That wise mother~did not hold out any
threat Of bread and water or the fiat of a
slipper. She calmly asked the boy where
he wanted to run to, and when he showed
indecision she suggested a neighbOring town
as a good place for the first step. Then she
packed for him a small bundle of clothing
and said: We'll, of course. if you don't
like it here and want to run away you can,
But you don't know how l shall miss you,
Harry" The boy wavered for a moment
then went TO the front door. There he hest
tated longer, but shut his grim little mouth
and started out. His mother saw the door
close behind him. Her heart ached. Would
he come back Would he? She went to a
window. He had reached the front gate
yards were fenced in in those days-and his
hand was on the latch. He stopped. The
moments were like a thousand years TO the
mother. He pulled the gate open; he put
one foot past the line that marked the linn
it's of his own little world. Then, all in an
instant, he dropped his bundle. rushed back
into the house. and fell sobbing into his
mothers arms.

Objected to MOnOcles.

Monocles are plentiful in Cape Town, but
in johannesburg and Pretoria they are con-
spicuOus only by their absence. X does
not like them. Captain --. of a famous
cavalry regiment, out of all the swell Off
GERS, alone refused to give up his monocle
for anybody. 1t was the current report in
the regiment that he wore il i'm bed and
also when he took his bath.
One day Lord Kitchener met the single
pane officer outside the TransvaaI Hotel in
Pretoria. one minute, captain" said the
commander, may 1 ask If it is absolutely
necessary for you to wear that glass in your
right eye?'
"Yaas. certainly. Lord Kitchener-er-er-
l could not see without it,"
Il am sorry to hear that, Captain -.
as ! intended to give you a staff appoint
ment, but l must have men around me who
can see well. Kindly report yourself for
duty TO the officer commanding the lines OF

The discounted cavalry officer obeyed the
instructions. Three months afterwards he
was taken prisoner by the Beers. who
stripped him OF his clothing and sent him
back to camp, still attired in his eyeglass,
but in nothing else. Such is fate!

Many Ships Awaiting Cargoes.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 16.-Thirty-two
schooners, with a carrying capacity of
nearly 1900 tons, are in this port awaiting
cargoes of soft coal. Some of the vessels
have been tied up for nearly three weeks,
and with poor prospects of soon getting
away. Scarcity of rolling stock on the
Baltimore & Ohio, owing to the require
ments for moving grain in the West, is
assigned for the shortage of coal here.
Very few vessels are being loaded, and it
will be several weeks before the schooners
win be able to get away at the rate they
are being supplied with coal.
