SEEING A PICTURE.

Try to Look at 1t Through the Eyes
of the Artist who Painted II.
The first necessity for the proper see
ing of picture is to try to see 1t
through the eyes of the artist who
painted It, This is not usual meth
cd Generally people look only through
their own eyes and like or dislike a pic
ture according as II does or does not
suit their particular fancy These peo-
pie will tell you, "Oh, l don't know
anything about painting, but / know
what l like" which is their way f.say-
ing, IF I don't like it right off don't
care to be bothered TO like it at all"
Such an attitude of mind cuts one
off from growth and development for
Ii is as much as TO say, Il am very
well satisfied with myself and quite
Indifferent to the experiences and feel
ings of other meH" Yet it is just this
feeling and experience of another man
which a picture gives us. If you con-
slider q moment you will understand
why. The world itself is a vast pano-
rama, and from Il the painter selects
his subject-not the copy of it exactly,
since it would be impossible for him
to do this even if be tried. How could
he represent, for example, each blade
of grass, each leaf upon a treef So
what he does is to represent the subject
as he sees it, as it appeals to his sym
patty or interest, and if twelve artists
painted the same landscape the result
would be twelve different pictures, diff
fering according to the way in which
each man had been impressed by the
scene-in fact. according to his sepa-
rate point of view or separate way of
seeing 1t, influenced by his individual
experience and feeling. Charles II. Cot

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 19.-The chain
of circumstantial evidence which the
commonwealth is attempting to forge
around Mrs Catherine Bechtel, charg-
ed with being an accessory after the
fact in the murder of her daughter
Mabel, has been greatly strengthened
by the witnesses called by the prose-

that the stains on the carpet and other

Delay In Machen Case.
Washington, Jan. 19.-In the trial
Of August w. Machen, the Croft broth
ers and DR.. and Mrs. George e. Lor-
enz. charged with conspiracy to de-
fraud ths government, The prosecution
Introduced a number of witnesses to
prove the relations of Machen with
the Lorenzs and the Croft brothers.
One of these, Ina Liebhardt, MachA.l's
former stenographer and chief cler.5,
testified to visits of DR.. and Mrs. Lor-
enz to Machen at his Office, but de-
clared on cross-examination that dur
ing the several conversations she was
present and heard nothing said about
letter-box fasteners. James E. Bell
superintendent of delivery of the
Washington city postoffice, testified
that the Croft fastener had been adopt
ed without any report on it having
been submitted by him, although it
would have been his duty to make
such report, as the fastener was tried
first in this city. John F. Clark, a
letter carrier, described the failure of
the fastener to work at a test made
in 1894 in this city, at which Machen
and Samuel A. Croft were present,
which, he said, caused Machen to re-
mark to Croft at that time unless the
fastener would work without sticking
he would not recommend it's adoption.
During the day Justice Pritchard
showed a disposition in arguments on
admissibility of evidence not to toler-
ate unnecessary delays in the progress
of the case.

The fifteenth annual convention OF
the United Mine Workers of America
is in progress at Tomlinson hall with
over 1000 delegates on hand. This
is perhaps the greatest convention in
the history of the greatest labor organ
ization in the world. One of the strik-
ing features was the report of Presi-
dent Mitchell. Always noted for his
conservatism in advising his own
men he has gone a step further this
time in making statements of much
interest and benefit to the entire
trades union movement He made a
firm stand for the adoption Of child
labor laws and declared that he has
no sympathy for any parents who fore
ed their children into the mines or
mills for the purpose of getting what
small wages they would earn. Mitch
ell was very careful not to indicate
what the miners will demand. Anoth-
er striking feature was the report Of
Secretary-Trcasurer Wilson, who a6r
m1tted that the miners national haA
over a million dollars on deposit here,
making it probably the richest and
only million-dollar labor organization
in the world Tie convention OF the
miners will continue ten days, when

The political situation in the Third

of the leading politicians of the dis
tricts are against him. But in a
straight primary where the votes of
