lmpresslonism

Here is another characteristic
story Of Whistler, the artist, one
which was current a year or two
back in the Latin quarter Of Paris.
Once or twice a week Whistler went
to a certain atelier 10 criticise and
offer suggestions upon the work Of
the students there. One Of these,
a young American girl, had painted
a portrait in what she believed the
truest impessionistic style When
Whistler came for his next view he
stopped short before this canvas,
while the student waited in anxiety
for his comment. The master
paused a moment, and then said, In
his most caustic tones: "You say
that you paint what you see. Oh,
Lord what a shock when one sees
what you paint !" and passed on.

MEN USED AS MESSENGERS
BECAUSE OF LACK OF BOYS.
Telegraph Companies Are Forced to
Put On Adult Carriers Since the
Schools Opened.

What has become of the messenger boy?
This question at present is worrying the
men who have charge of the delivery de-
partment of the Western Union and Pos
tai Offices in this city.
For the last few weeks the scarcity of
youngsters to carry wire missives has
been becoming more and more apparent,
and last week 1t reached such a stage
that men had to be hired TO take the
places made vacant by the boys.
Edward Powers, who has charge of the
messengers at the Western Union, has
well nigh exhausted every means to Sc
cure boys. and, failing. has put on TWEEN
ty-fve men. who were hired at greatly
increased rates.
Messengers. as a rule, get s5 a month,
but owing to their scarcity as high as
Sl.25 d day had to be paid to their elders
for the same work.
The opening of school is given as the
primary reason Tor the dearth Of message
deliverers. although the recently rigidly
enforced laws in regard to not working
children under Il years old has also had
considerable to do with the matter.
1t is believed that after schools have
been open for several weeks many boys
will have tired of the daily routine and
The Western Union ordinarily has about
l65 boys on its pay roll. TIL Postal Tel
graph Company. while il does not hire as
many, has been running short rather than
hire men. who, II is said, make very poor
messengers.

As the result of a quarrel between Harry
Brandt of No. 21lO Olive street. captain
of walters at the Rozier Hotel. and Otto
DreaEer. a waiter 90 years old. of No. 1914
Lawton avenue, the latter was probably
fatally stabbed with a bread knife shortly
after the noon hour YESTERDAY.
The large blade of the knife entered
Dreaser's body to the left Of the nipple
and above the heart. penetrated the lung
and made a gaping wound. He was taken
to the City Hospital. where the u
was dressed.
According to Dreager's story. he came
from the dining-room with some silver
which he gave to an employee to wash.
Brandt reprimanded him for making too
much noise in depositing the silver and a
quarrel enSued, during which Brandt
called Dreager a liar. The latter struck

ARMENIAN PRIEST CONDUCTS
SERVICE FOR C0UNTRYMEN.
Refugees From M~assacrcs Listen to
the Reverend PapaEinntz at
Christ's Church Cathedral.

An Armenian church service was held
for the first time in st. Louis at Christ
Church Cathedral yesterday afternoon.
The Reverend Mashtoz V. Papaziantz Of
Worcester, Mass, conducted the cere-
mony.
The service was all the more remarkable
from the fact that a choir Of five voices
was organized at a days notice and went
through the chant incident TO the service,
which is 100 years old.
To one not familiar with the service
this chant seems to be given in prac-
tically one tone. as when it originated
there was no knowledge of bass. alto,
tenor and like variations in music. In the
Russian and Armenian churches. however,
use is being made of late years of these
tones in rendering the chant.
About $50 Armenians attended the serv-
ice. which lasted from 100 until 4 O'Clock.
Fifty of this number reside in St. Louis
and the others in East ST. Louis. Those
from the East Side came 10 this country
as the result of the prosecutions in their
native land, and intend to make their
home here.
The Reverend PapaZiantz goes from here
to Philadelphia and Washington Then he
will return to his parish at Worcester.

ALLEGED MURDERER CAUGHT.
Negro Had Been Chased by
BlOodhOunds in Georgia

What bloodhounds and a posse were
unable to do in Georgia was accomplished
by Detective Gorden yesterday when he
arrested George Johnson. a negro, ac-
cused of numbering another of his own
color three months ago.
The crime with which Johnson is
charged. was committed. it is said. at a
dance in Americus. Ga. While the festi-
vities were at their height. Johnson. it
is said. deliberately shot and killed his
victim.
The negroes of Americas quickly formed
a posse and with the aid OF bloodhounds
went in pursuit Of johnson IN an effort
to lynch him. The latter. it is said. fled
to the swamps and evaded capture.
Detective Gordon was making his rounds
early yesterday morning and spied ohm
son among a group of negroes at Seven
teerth and Clark avenue. When ques-
toned. Johnson became pugnacious. but
was promptly manacled and brought to
the Central District Police Station. The
prisoner refuses to return to Georgia un-
til recuisitiOn papers have been secured.
johnson admits having killed the negro,
but declares that he shot under the prov
ovation of threats against his own life.
He has been in st. Louis for two
months.

Advised st. LOuis Democrats Not
to Foment Fights in State
Affairs.
NO CHOICE OF CANDIDATES.
Dockrry Talked With Some of
His Friends. but Had No
Conference Over Any
SpeciafMovement.

Politicians who are posted on the de-
lopments of the pas; week in State af-
fairs declare that the result of Governor
Dockery's visit TO St. Louis Friday and
| Saturday NIL be a more thorough har-
mouy in local politics. To friends the
Governor said that he came here with the
intention of bringing about better rela-
lions among conflicting clements on the
eve of a general and State campaign.
When he left the city he thought that
his purpose had been at least materially
accomplished. While he was here he saw
several of the local leaders ard talked
over the situation with them. He frankly
told them that he vas not taking the part
of any one candidate for the governorshlp.
but that the sooner the practical poll
tic.ans in St. Louis understood the
nee, ssity for harmonious relations all
along the line the better for everybody
concerned.
The story printed in a Republican organ
that Governor Dockery came here in the
interests Of James a. Reed for Governor
is ludicrous to those familiar with the
facts.
GOVERNORS HANDS OFF.
Governor Dockery did not spend Fri
day afternoon and evening in Faust's
cafe. He did not confer with William j.
Flynn. Frank y. Kleiber. John Dolan and
L. L. GuiOn. as the story said. Among his
closest frients il is understood that he
is strictly hands off" in the matter of
naming his successor.
II is possible that within the next ten
days important developments in the guber-
material fight will take place. That MAJOR
Reed has been trying his best to develop
strength IN 81. Ions Is no secret. He
broke an engagement to be here at the
Jefferson Cluh reception to Harry b
Halves. His friends have been using every
influence to build up control of the st.
Louis delegation next year
At the same time, the Kansas City stu
alton has some dangers for Mayor Reed.
by politicians who feel that they have a
right 70 try their hand at carrying the
next delegation 70 the Democratic State
Convention.
DISAPPRONES ABUSE OF FOLK.
Governor DOckery has tod many per-
sons that the campaign of abuse which
certain papers are throwing at Circuit
Attorney Folk is foolish. from both a
Political and a ommon-sense point of
view. He has not failed to rebuke Ger
tain men who have spoken disparaging!y
of Folk in his presence.
The next election is to be carried"
he has told more than ole man. and
personal abuse Of any Democrat by Dem
Ccrats does nothing but furnish material
for the. Common enemy. 1t must be
stopped
No matter who is nominated. Governor
Dorkery openly pledges himself to go
into the campaign with the same energy
and vigor that have always characterized
his political life in the State. He helped
10 bring about harmony in st. Louis when
he was running for Governor. and he
does not intend. if he can help it. to per-
nit a division at the present time.
