FRITZ THAULOW Is DEAD.
Dutch Artist Noted for Pictures of Snow,
Water and Twilight Scenes, Ex-
pires in Holland.

CHRISTIANIA, Nov. 6. - ri IL
Thaulow. one of the greatest of Dutch
landscape painters, known as the paint
er Of the stream, the snow and the
night" died at Nolendam, Holland, Mon
day.
Thaulow was born ut ChriAiania, and
his grandfather was painter ol some
reputp. He was sent to the academy Mt
COpenhagen, and, though his coIoring
gave some promise, his drawing was 50
shocking that he was scnt back home,
When ~ years old, he went to Berlin to
study, and again was sent home by his
teacher because his work was 'reyoIu-
tionary.'
In 1880 he went to Paris, and after
striving for nlnc years, had a picture
hung in the salon which made him fa-
nous. His ia NielIe Fabrique' is i'll
the Luxembourg collection. His paint
ings of snow, running water and scenes
of dusk and dawn are wonderful, not for
their detail but for their general eff
fects.
Although far advanced in years, he
retained his powers to the end. THAI
low was eccentric, with IN aversion TO
strange localities. In 1876 he went 10
the United States to be n judge Mt the
Centennial, and stayed on American
shores only two days Visits 10 London
and Italy were equally short. Subsc-
ouently he made many trips to America,
and had an exhibit at the Chicago Art
institute two years ago His widow is
a granddaughter of the late Princess
Soltikoff Of Russia.

Wife Doubts as to Future Attempts to
Reach Pole-Big Navy job
Picked Out for Him

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 5.-Mrs
Josephine ID. Peary, wife of Comman-
der Peary, is not at all sure her hus-
band will make another attempt next
season to reach the north pole. The
report that Peary will try again was de-
duced from the following words in Il
message he sent:
Expect to communicate again from Chap
eau bay. All progress will he slow; have
no anxiety for our safety and give no
crcdcnce TO exaggerated reports Roosevelt
is returning this year for additional sup.
plies and for repairs.
IT is stated here that Peary. now Il
civil engineer, United States army. will
succeed Rear Admiral Endicott as chief
of the naval bureau Of yards and docks.
1T is altogether too early to talk
about Mr.. peary's plans and whether
he will try again to reach the pole, said
his wife. Il am inclined to think that
he will probably wish to enjoy some
good thick steaks and get rid OF the
