For several days past there has been
considerable talk of an arrangement
by which no senator would be elected
at the special election called inA this
county by Governor Chamberlain for
December 1s. The election will cost
the county $4,000 and the county viii
not receive q proportional benefit, It
is urged. Party leaders OF both polit-
ic;,l faiths have expressed themselves
as favorably inclined towards the
Idea, but there is lite probability
that an understanding will be reached,
The county officials, obeying the writ
issued by the governor, have gone
ahead with preparations for the cleo
tion, and the vacancy will be filled,
The oaly plan that could possibly be
adopted would be to ignore the gov
ernors writ through an understanding
between the political parties and the
county authorities. The matter was
suggested at the chamber of commerce
meeting Monday night and there has
been much discussion Of the subject on
the streets.

SARGENT PAINTS CHARACTER
he Takes Delight When Opportunity
Comes to Depict a TYPE"


Sargent's prices vary, says the Bos-
ton Globe. Sometimes it may be
$4,000 for a portrait, then again it
may be S2,5OO. He alone knOWS
what guides him in this respect. Itis
said that he derives so much personal
satisfaction from the painting OF
some portraits that he will not
charge nearly as much as be will for
Others. This was true Of the famous
Wertheimer portrait. Wertheimer,
a famous London art dealer, expected
to pay $4,000 for his portrait, butt
Sarent's bill, it is said, was made out
for $1,000, fact which pleased the
business acumen of the Hebrew-he
had secured bargain, Wertheimer
never could understand the smiles of
the public who knew him, when they
saw his portrait. These people
thought they saw in the portrait Of
this man a commercial type laid bare
It looked to them like the Vert
heimer who had sold Count Bonn
Castellane a lot Of bric-a-brac and
sued Countess Anna Gould Castel-
lane for the bill. The countess was
not pleased with this transaction
However, Wertheimer was pleased
with his portrait-it was bargain.
Perhaps Sargent took some pleas
ure in depicting a type, character,
through this portrait. One thing is
certain, he paints beyond the skin
deep" beauty and expression Of his
sitters, and where the character has
warranted it has brought out all the
latent beauty and portrayed the very
soul, almost, Of the person. Asan ex-
ample, the portrait he painted of the
president Of Bryn Mawr college a few
years ago is an excellent one 1t is
more than a mere portrait; it depicts
asplendid type of the American, mid
dle-aged cultivated woman. 1t
stands securely in a gallery as such
in much the same manner that a Van
dyke portrait would unquestionably
stand for a type Of royal. beauty in
I his age.
Sargent sometimes has made enc
mics Of his sitters because Of his con-
scientious effort to portray charac-
ter. There is a story Of Boston
beauty, some years ago, who, when
she received her portrait from Sar-
} gent, took it to her room, studied it
for awhile, recognized the fact thai
the artist had laid bare her true char
i acter on the canvas, and in a moment
y of fury cut out the face and destroyed
it. She did not want that peculiar
nature of hers staring her in the face
from the walls of her room all the
time.

ANCIENT ALE TESTING.
The 0ld-Time Method in England
Was Certainly Picturesque.

Here is a story Of ancient ale test
ing, and it is told by the Philadelphia
Record: "The antiquary took slip
from his glass of ale. Then he
smacked his lips. He held the bev-
erage up to the light, admiring its
clear color. This ale, he said, is
pure. In the proving of it the ale
tester of the past would not have
stuck fast to his bench The old
man chuckled. Then he resumed:
of course you don't know what I
mean Well, let me tell you that in
England and Scotland couple Of
hundred years ago ale was tested for
no other impurity than sugar If it
had no sugar in it, it was regarded az
unimpeachable. The official ale
tester wore leather breeches. He
would enter an inn Unexpectedly,
draw glass Of ale, pour it on a wood
en- bench and then sit down in the
little puddle he had made. There
he would sit for 80 minutes by the
clock. He would converse, he would
smoke, he would drink with all who
asked him to, but he would be very
careful not to change his position in
any way. AT the end of the half hour
he would make as if to rise, and this
was the test Of the ale; for, if the ale
was impure, if it had sugar in it, the
testers leather breeches would stick
fast to the bench, but if there was no
sugar in the liquor no cohesion would
be present

Sea Birds COngregate There.

The cliff where more sea birds are
said to build their nests than any
other place in the world is on theI
coast Of Norway. It's ], 900 feet high
and goes by the name of Svoerholt-
klubben. Kittiwakes have built their
nests Of rush and seaweed for ages
in innumerable quantities The nests
remain from year to- year on the mar
row shelves of the cliff side, being
repaired, like rocks nests, for each
coming season, and added to until
they hang into space. When a tour
ist comes to inspect this colony a
gun is usually let off, whereupon SO
many birds rise that the whole sky
for the moment is darkened.
