In his work, a fact strangely overlooked by his
eulogists. In Mr.. Holmes Italian section, whore
Conconi, a strong etcher Of architectural sub
jects is mentioned but not Illustrated, there is
only edifying production, and that is
after d Venetian plate by Maranito Fortuny,
a Spaniard, who, by the way, shows in this
etching as he has shown in his paintings, a
complete departure from the viyaCity Of his
famous father. Of the Swiss etchers there is
nothing very favorable to be said, though there
is a certain power in the animal studies of
Evert Van Muyden-
The foregoing brief survey VIII have shown
that modern etching as a whole is not in a
very fourishing condition. # the production Of
attractive picture were all that an etcher
had TO think Of, this judgment might very easily
be contradicted. There are many attractive
pictures in Mr- Holmes volume. But something
more is needed. Just as the connoisseur looks
for the perfection Of what is called painters
painting IN a work on canvas before he admits
that ne is looking at a masterpiece, 50 he de-
nai}ds "etcher's etching in work executed on
copper before he is willing To accept it at the
highest valuation. and, indeed he must be even
more exacting in the latter case. The absence
OF painters painting from a picture can some
urnes be forgiven for the sake OF other quail

Raphael or Of a modern like Ingres clearly

weeks past, or ever since the an

have been engaged in remodelling
houses and constructing new chimneys
designed for coal or wood fuel. Despite
the unusual activity, however. 1t has
been found impossible to build more
than o%ne-third of the chimneys nec-
essary. so that hundreds OF property

MAKE AN APPEAL
Methodists Ask Roosevelt to
Mediate in the Strike
STRIKE CAUSES SUFFERING


After a lengthy discussion resolutions
calling upon President Roosevelt to
appoint a commission of mediation
were adopted at the weekly meeting of
the Methodist preachers Of New York
City, held Monday. The resolutions
are in part as follows:
Believing that the strike now pend
ing In the coal regions has reached
a stage which calls for the most Sc
rious attention of all Christian men;
Believing also that this strike II
continued much longer will result In
unparalleled suffering among the poor
of our great cities; and
10 come for honest, earnest efforts
to bring about such a settlement as
will be acceptable to all parties;
I'VE therefore respectfully request
his excellency, President Roosevelt, to
appoint a commission of mediation
who will carefully consider the various
questions now under dispute and see
II anything can he done to end this
unhappy strike"
A Washington dispatch says the
president and his advisers canvassed
the question of federal interference in
the strike and the opinion prevailed
that the government was. under the
constitution. powerless to act. Another
conference will b. held again. and 1t is
hoped some plan for the solution OF
the strike problem will present itself,
