WOMAN PAINTER OF EMPRESS
Miss Katherine Carl. Who Spent Some
Months in Pekin Palace.

New York. Katherine
Carl, a young artist of Memphis
who painted portrait of Isl An,
the Dowager Empress of China,
arrived yesterday on the Minnehaha
of the Atlantic line, from London.
Miss Carl, who has lived in Paris
for the last twelve years, will open
a studio here and look after the
publication OF her experiences dur
ing her stay of eleven months in
the Imperial Palace in Pekin.
Arrangements for painting the
Dowager Empress were made
through the American Minister,
Mr.. Conger, said Miss Carl, at
the pier. L was requested to
make the painting, and for eleven
months following l had sittings
every day. During all of the time
my treatment was most courteous
by the Empress, whom l found far
different from the cruel despot de-
picted by many modern chroni-
clers of Chinese history. There
was, of course, much official cere-
mony, but many of my meetings
were marked by exceeding infor-
mality.
Conversation was carried on be-
tween the Empress and myself
two official interpreters,
and she learned many things about
the United States which seemed to
and deeply interest her. I
fear she could not ! comprehend
them all, for her ways and our
are so different.
She is not vain, as some per-
sons would have you believe, for
while she expressed the wish that
the portrait should show her at her
very best, there was no suggestion
that she should be represented
than she actually ap-
pears. For example, she has a
prominent nose, and she told me
to paint it exactly as it was, mot
or corrected in any way.
The Dowager Empress is highly
educated and very intellectual,
and oftentimes she would recite
poetry for a considerable time dur
ing a sitting.
While at the palace the En-
press celebrated her 10th birthday,
and was surprised, for she had
not looked more than 40 to ME.
She has, I think, the most beau
tiful smile of any woman in the
world"
Miss Carl went at once to her
apartments, at No. 81 Washing
ton square.

She was an old colored woman,
living in a littls cabin down in
what we called Black Valley. &"
She could neither read nor write.
She was poor, and now the last
misfortune of the poor had befallen
her-she could not wotk. l had
come in that afternoon, curious
Northern college student to ask
questions about the slavery days.
She told me of her good first
master; of his death; of the new
master, whom she greatly feared;
of her running away; the night
she spent in the lonely woods; the
soft approach of footsteps through
the dry leaves in the early morning,
and of her looking up to see the
bloodhound, with the men behind
him.
She told me of the outbreak of
the war; of her prayer that she
might live to see herself and chill
dren free, and of the prayers full
illmeut; and then, with entire
Inconsistencies of its pathos, she
told me how, when the assassin
had taken the life of the man to
whom they owed their freedom,
she was too poor to buy black
dress, and so, instead, bought
black buttons and sewed them on
her best dress. in mourning for
