MilIet's Message Not Social Protest

=
John La Fargo in October McClure's.
All the more was Millet impelled
to disengaged from the realism, which
he understood and could copy, the
ideal type of each of the functions
in the life of the worker of the field.
Therefore, it is not a sower, a reaper,
4 cleaner that he has given, but is
the sower the reaper the cleaner. For
that very reason his work tended to
a form of technique which resembles
the idea of sculpture. That is its great
charm, its superiority; but at the same
time its limitation as far as the idea
of painting interferes. He was forced
to a balance of expression which
obliged him to forego many charms be-
longing to the special art of painting,
which is q representation of surfaces.
These great sacrifices, sacrifices of
beauties he himself loved, shocked The
public of his time and many Of his
fellow artists. They viii always be
felt and will repel to some extent the
desire for charm that we naturally ex-
pect in the representation by color;
but as they are logical and necessary,
noblest sincerity. they will also be
accepted as final. No one without the
mind and aim of Millet can hope TO
tread n similar path, nor can the first
impulse that created these pictures
come again easily 1t came from a
long inheritance Of hard work accept

in an acceptance of labor and suffer-

The Chicago Method of Reform.

Lincoln Steffens in October McClure's.
Each ward was separately studied,
the politics of each was separately un-
derstood, and separately each ward
was fought. Declaring only for 'ag-
gressive honesty" at first, and COM
petence, they did not stick even to
that. They wanted to beat the rascals
that were in, and, if necessary, If they
couldn't hope to elect an honest man,
they helped a likely rascal to beat
the rascal that was in and known.
They drew up a pledge of loyalty to
public interest, but they didn't insist
on it in some cases. Like the poll
ticians, they were opportunists. Like
the politicians, too, they were nom
partisans. They played off one party
against another, or, If the two organ
izations hung together. they put up an

MiIIet's Peasant Family.

John La Fargo in October McClure's.
They were no commonplace people,
these peasant proprietors, who, with
frugality and unremitting toll, in ire
spectability of admitted poverty" in
religious practice and the fear of God,
maintained a large family on the few
inherited acres. Francois mother was
of a family of gentlemen broken by the
revolution. His father had a great
sense of beauty. and early called the
child's attention to the perfection of
natural objects. to the lines and ar
rangements of the landscape about
them. He was fond of music, also, and
noted the church chants with the care
and elegance of a medieval scribe.
There was an uncle, a miller, who read
Montaigne and Pascal, and the great
Jansenists of the seventeenth century;
another was physician and chemist:
another was peasant priest, who had
at the risk of his life refused to con-
form with the state against his con.
science.
But the grandmother was the great
influence; she was the director and
help of all--her austere ideas of duty
and religion mingled, as Millet had said.

pictures, If we see them right.
For eighteen years the boy labored
in the fields with his kindred. His
father, however, had always followed
kindly the boys attempt at drawing.
One day, on his making some special
drawing, his father said: II should

BUSINESS IS FAIR
BUT NOT VERY ACTIVE.

New York, Oct. 9.-Bradstreet's will
tomorrow say of the state of the
trade
Trade conditions are still irregular.
Business is of fair volume. but not so
active as year ago, partly because of
the backward season. heavy rains in
terfering with crop movement and col
lection. vexatious labor troubles, past
and present discouraging building OPP
erations, and the spread of the con-
sentative feeling among buyers, based
upon stock market liquidation. and the
feeling that high prices of many prod
ucts will tend, if it has not already
done so, to automatically check con-
sumption.
Many underlying conditions are,
however, still favorable. First in i'm
portance should be reckoned the de-
cidedly better tone of advices from the
corn crop, which has developed a larger
Yield and a better quality than was
earlier deemed possible. Special in
quiry by Bradstreets points to a yield
OF at least 2,25O,0O0,0O0 bushels of a
grade generally far superior to that
VI d year ago.
Lower prices for this and other ce-
reals and for cotton, whose yield will
De smaller than seemed probable a
month ago, seem likely to help our
backward export trade in those prod
ucls and improve the foreign exchange
outlook. Collections, too, though back

cotton movements expand.

VELVET DRESS IN CITY DUMP.
Tailor Sent Customer Box of
SweepinEs Instead of Her New

sweepinGs Instead of Her New
Gown.
From the New York Sun.
Deputy Street Cleaning Commission
er Clarke, of Brooklyn, was visited
yesterday by very excited little man
who demanded immediate attention.
You have my dress. my velvet
dress" shouted the man, glaring at the
commissioner. Il am ruined, ruined. 8"
What do YOU mean? Are you
crazy?" asked the commissioner.
My dress. my beautiful velvet dress
is on the dump" was the only answer.
After time it was learned that the
excited little man was S. Rabinowitz,
a tailor, of 1872 Smith street. 1t APP
pears that it is the habit of the tailor
to give to the Street Cleaning Depart
ment his daily sweepings from his
store. Yesterday morning he put his
sweepings into a box. In a similar box
was placed a handsome velvet gown
to be sent to a customer. The box
containing the gown was sent to the
dumps, while the box of sweepings
was sent to the young woman who was
waiting her new dress.
When she opened the box to inspect
her new dress she nearly tainted, ac-
cording to Rabinowitz. Recovering
| quickly. however, she hurried to the
little tailor's shop and demanded what
he meant by such conduct.
You can see what plight-Oh, my
business will be ruined walled the
tailor.
Mr. Clarke sent word to the super
intendent of the dumps, and the much
priced box was found and returned,
the beautiful velvet dress being none
the worse because of it's experiences.

PROF. L0RENZ WILL
REPLY TO CHARGES,
To Make Answer in Vienna Frete

Prcsse to Criticism.
From the PHILADELPHIA Inquirer.
In the columns of the Vienna Freie
Presse to-day will appear a denial by
Prof. Adolf Lorenz Of the charges
brought against his bloodless operation
for congenital dislocation of the hip.
and it will be asserted that these
charges have been brought by envious
American surgeons.
With the appearance of the denial in
Vienna the bandages will he taken
from two children in the jefferson Hos
pital this morning upon whom DR.. Lo-
REM operated. The results upon other
PATIENTS in Philadelphia have been good
ones, and it is predicted that the re-
moval of the bandages this morning
will verify DR.. Lorenzs statement that
the charges made against his method
of bloodless surgery are false.
In speaking of DR.. Lorenz and his
work, DR.. H. Augustus Wilson, who
was the host and chief assistant to DR..
Lorenz during the visit of the Wen
nese surgeon to Philadelphia, said yes
terday:
cit is a fact that two patients died
in this country after undergoing this
operation, one in Philadelphia and one
in New York. A careful and exhaus-
tive post-mortem was made on the pa
tent who died in this city, and it was
shown that death was caused by ether,
although the previous examination of
the child had not shown that 1t was
unable to take the anaesthetic.
I'm the New York case the patient
was too old to undergo the operation
with any hope of success, and DR.. Lo-
REM refused to perform it. The par
ents of the child begged to have the
operation performed, and it was done
by other persons with fatal results.

newspaper reporters. There are three
recognized methods for reporting a yacht
race: The wireless telegraph system; the
fleet of small boats carrying the news
from the course to the shore and a line
of shore Observers along the Jersey and
Long island coast. This was day on
which all three systems proved n failure.
The experience Of two years ago demon
strated the comparative) uncertainty Of
al wireless teegraphic but no one was
prepared for the utter collapse OF the
system which occurred to-day. There
were four competing systems three of
which were most active. The atmosphere
above the triangular course was beaten
into a hopeless confusion so that the
Marconi system with all it's careful prep
aration was available but for a single
message throughout the entire day 1t
would not have been so exasperatiny if
the rival companies had been honestly
striving to send their own bulletins but
much of the interference was obviously
malicious.
Pefore tho yachts had reached the first
turn thick haze overspread the course
and shut them entirely from the view
of the shore observers. Then some in
dulged in guessing match and one Of
Marconis opponent companies professed
to have received a message giving tho
hour minute and second at which each
boat turned the first mark. This was
