where he grabbed the wrists Of the old man
and dragged him into the room.
He was George Tauwalt, kleinschmidt' g

A very early equivalent of similar

printed in 1880 called '"Ehe Death OF
Reynard, the Fox" by Sir William
Young:

Too hot for him to stay,
And soon Ned Callet spied him
Stealing across the way
''Tolle auxr' then Callet cried
And gave a gibbet shrll.
He tossed his brush as who should
say,
Come, kiss me If you will!'
Some, however, derive the cry when
a fox breaks cover from "taillis hors,"

Eve can break up the ice all right he
added, "but after it is broken there is no
current in the river to carry 1t down
stream"
1t is therefore obvious that the fleet will
have to wait for both tide and weather.
Owing to the strenuous work of yesterday.
as described by The Star. more or less
damage resulted to the tce-breaking appa-
ratuS of all twelve of the boats. The most
serious damage was the breaking of the
wheel of the tug William Yerkes. which
will cause the little craft to be laid up for
repairs.
The result of yesterdays battle with the
ice was stated today to have been the open
ing up of a channel about 400 feet wide

channel. Commodore Sutton says. will ac-
complish his purpose of permitting the air
to get under the ice and soften it.
Considerable danger to the tugs was en-
countered in yesterdays operations 1t Is
said, by many logs and large timberS that
are frozen in the ice.
The fleet operated yesterday afternoon in
the river between this city and Alexandra,
and the channel was widened. Below Alex
dria the fleet found the ice to be nearly
twelve inches thick, and it was in this vi
cinity that the greatest damage was done
to the Ice plows and where the wheel of
the William Yerkes was broken.

Development of Painting.

The third lecture IN the course on archi-
lecture and painting by Rev. Charles War
rem Currier at Carroll Institute was de-
livered last night before a large audience.
The lecturer dwet upon the development
OF the art Of painting. He said that the
list. and that the artist has a mission to
fulfill, which is not only to please, but to
instruct and to make people better. He
pointed out the various critical periods of
modern art, which he says really begins
In the thirteenth century with Cimabue and
Giotto. He showed how art gradually pro-
ceeded step by step, reaching the height Of
the ideal In Fra Angelica; how linear and
aerial perspective was developed by UcCello
and Pietro della Francesca, until 1t reached
its perfection in Perugino, the master of
Raphael, and he told how artistic anatomy
was more and more studied, until 1t at
tanned perfection in MaSaccio and Masolno,
and later in BotticelH The various Italian
schools of Tuscany, Umbria, northern Italy
and Venice were dwelt upon until art
reaches its highest period in the fifteenth
century with Leonardo da Vinci in the
school of Lombardy. The lecturer also
showed the development of fifteenth CEN
tory art in Flanders and Germany. The
audience was highly appreciative and of
the intelligent class, among whom were
noted professors of the Washington Uni
versity and of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, besides those from the Jesuit colleges.
The last lecture in the coure the per-
lection of the art of painting will be de-
livered next Wednesday night.

ment of his salary. He had previously as
signed the money to another person, it is
alleged, and shortly after getting the $50
he left the city Wade Is also said to have
obtained $50 from the law firm of Wolf &
Cohen by giving them a worthless check.

for passing a worthless check. Wade is
, from Athens, Ga. He returned here last
September and remained a short time, leav-
ing about the time the police learned he
was in the city.

lated to prevent pollution of the waters of
the Potomac river was finished by Commits
sioner West today and submitted to his as
sociates on the board of Commissioners for
approval, with the request that 1t be sent
to Congress at an early date. The bill was

ton and report of the contamination of the

from sewage and industrial wastes.
The tentative bill provides that no indi-
vidual or association of individuals shall de-
post or allow to be deposited any sewage
or Industrial waste, or put poisonous
material in the Potomac river or
any of Its tributaries or in any place where
directly or indirectly the Objectionable ma
terial might cause the pollution of the
waters of the Potomac or Its tributaries
which shall in any manner result in the i'm
pairment of the pr rity of the public water
supply of the District of Columbia
The penalty provided for any violation of
the provisions of the act is fine of not
less than 500 nor more than 50 800 or i'm
prisonment in the discretion of the court.
Each day the violation continues shall be
deemed a separate offense and shall be
punished as such.

less the police find that he is wanted
somewhere for a more serious offense he
will be taken to the Police Court and tried
for carrying the revolver.
