JULIAN RIX, PAINTER, DEAD.
One of Most Talented of Contemporary
American Artists.

The New York World today says:
Julian Rix, the landscape painter, died
yesterday in his studio apartments on West
10th street from the effects of an opera
ton.
He was one of the most talented of con-
temporary American artists. With Ranger,
Davies, Parton and a few others, he had
succeeded to the honors which were once
awarded to George Inness. Homer d. Mar
tin and Wyant.
But for his modesty and curious dislike
for public attention. Rix's name would
have been more widely known. But the
merits Of his paintings being fully estab-
nshed, and being able to find purchasers
for everything he painted, he never ex-
hibited at the academy or the society, nor
did he contribute to such displays as those
at Pittsburg and Buffalo.
Rix came from San Francisco. He was a
pupil of Virgil Williams at the school OF
design there, and subsequently broadened
his knowledge by association with Jules
Tavernier and Paul Frenzeny, two erratic
Frenchmen of great talent, who would
have been great painters had they been less
Bohemian in nature.
In California he haunted the red woods
and the groves of big trees. He loved ma
in him. his love for nature was deep. He
loved to paint deep shadows. gray skies
and shady trees. He knew all the moods

Cleveland Millionaires Found by Moon

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Huntington, w. Va, last night says

found by moonshiners in the mountains
along Island creek late yesterday after
noon and were piloted to civilization.
The Cleveland capitalists were on an in

when they got lost. One entire night was
spent on a lone mountain side. their bod

prevent them from freezing.

much pleading by the millionaires the
moonshiners took them in their houses,
gave them food and later piloted them
from the mountain wilderness. The Cleve-
land men reached here today, suffering
greatly from exposure.

Elfgiva, who had caught the exclamation,
had broken off her prattle.

On what she based her belief that he was
incapable of thwarting her Is not quite
clear, for he had never taken the trouble to
hide the fact that he considered her a nui-

a piece Of youthful folly on Canute's
part. Sinister satisfaction was in his tone
when he answered her.

"is the palace for a queen"
At first it seemed that she would either
scratch out his eyes or throw herself
from her saddle. But in the end she did
neither, for sense of her helplessness
turned her faint. To one who has always
