Studio Cage in Bronx Park for the
Convenience of Artists.

The new lion house. at the Bronx
park is becoming the rendezvous of the
animal painters of this city, and the
lions seem to enjoy being painted. When
the wind is bowling through the trees
outside and the air is white with flying
snow, they seem content to pose all day,
il need be, the only drawback being that
they persist in falling asleep. Being
painted soon loses its novelty, even if
the work is done by a master As a re-
suit, often when an artist wants his mod
el to look ferocious, the model looks and
acts not unlike great overgrown house
cat
Old Dom Paul, the patriarch Of the
Bronx park lion house, is the most
SOught-out model Dom Paul is every
inch a lion. asleep or awake. Powerful
ly built, with long shaggy name, he is
the model to please the enthusiastic
painter of animals. But Dom Paul loves
his sleep. and from the King of
the Desert" he has a habit of lapsing
into Royalty in Repose" that keeps
artistic threats dry devising fresh calls
to awake him up.
But, Notwithstanding such little Incl
dents. if one is determined to paint lions
the place pre-eminently suited for the
painting of them is the new Bronx park
lion house. One of the first artists TO
avail himself of its exceptional advan-
tages for the study Of animal life was
John Hanson Walker, Jr.. an English
animal painter who has lately come to
this country. Mr.. Walker is commits
collector of animal paintings in this
city.
The new studio cage is at one end OF
the building, shut off from the main lion
house, so that the artists may be free from
interruption from the public when at work.
There are two parts to it. the auditorium
and the cage. The former is % by IL feet.
with platforms ranged one above the other
so that a number Of artists working at
the same time may not interfere with one
another. About 30 artists can be accom-
mOdated at one time-The studio cage is ar
ranged directly under the big skylight.
and when a lion is wanted by the artists
he is driven into a car or shifting cage
lowered to a subway communicating with
the studio cage to which the car contain
ing the animal is raised by means of a lift.
Then il is an easy matter to get the ami
mai from the shifting cage safely inside
the studio cage by simply opening the
gates and throwing in bit of meat With
the animal inside the cage in a perfect
light and no bystanders to disturb them
the artists are free to begin work.
To say that the animal painters of the
city appreciate what has been done for
them at Bronx park is putting it lightly.
Heretofore they have labored under great
advantages in the painting Of animals. be-
ing obliged to work in Central park be-
fore o'clock in the morning in order to
avoid the crowds and the light, especial
~ in the winter months. is not always
good for sketching in the early morning
hours.-New York Tribune.

the shots were fired Both Mrs. Jack

was usually very noisy when strange
parties came about the place day or
night. A night pr0Wler usually caused
disturbance from the dog that aroused
not only the Jackson house but the
neighbOrs as well. A friend might
have approached the dog quietly and

SPAIN GETS DAMAGES
For Failure of Clyde Company to Fur
nish Torpedo Boats.

sion today awarded the government of
Spain 1887, 800 in the action begun here
January 20 by the Spanish minister of
marine Sanchez Toca, to recover 1876. 600
from the Clyde Bank Engineering &
Shipbuilding company because Of the
conpany's failure to deliver in contract
time four torpedo boat destroyers which
which had been intended for use during
the Spanish-American war. In the
course Of the judgment Lord Killachy,
the presiding judge, said he thought it
more than probable that if Spain, even
in the spring of 1897, had been in a posi-
ton to establish really effective block
ade in Cuba against the unloading Of
munitions CT war the insurrectiOn might
have been crushed and American inter
vention have been avoided. He there
fore allowed Spain $500 per week for
the 1876 weeks delay to which she was
entitled under contract.

news of the assault spread among the
neighbors it was not long before an
angry mob had Joined in the chase.
The mob met the officers returning
with the negro. They refused to sur
render the prisoner and a scrimmage
with the mob ensued, the latter finally
securing possession of the negro. He
confessed to the crime, but begged for
mercy. The mob started with the
negro toward the new bridge being
built across the Mississippi, where he
was hanged to an oak tree without
ceremony. After the body had dangled
few moments it was riddled with
bullets.
The officers endeavored to dispense
the mob but their efforts were unavai-
ing. A rush was made for colony
Of several hundred negroes employed
on bridge work, living in tents near
the bridge. The negroes saw the mob
coming and opened fire. A fusilade
followed and the whites fired with
effect Many Of the negroes were shot
down. None of the mob was injured.
and it is not known how severely the
negroes were wounded. The mob then
fell on the tents and burned them
After accomplishing a general work
of destruction the mob dispersed. Ex-
ira police were sworn in and tonight
the village is under heavy guard. Great
excitement prevails. The village is IN
the extreme southwest portion of the
state, near the Chicago & Eastern
