ART NOTES.

There is more demand for artists il
the present time than ever before. AL
books are now illustrated, even the
newspapers; everything is represented
by that great teacher, picture of the
subject. One can gather a better idea
of a subject by, good illustration,
thantby page of print.
Theslecturer no longer depends upon
eloquence to. move an audience, but has
visible representations to speak for
him.
Some have an idea that art is alone a
study to make pictures.
A study of art includes architecture,
designing, illustrating, and is a great
help in all branches taught in the
schools.
Now is good time for studio work,
a good time to learn accurate drawing,
so as to be ready for correct and rapid

W. J. Bryan is probably the
most beloved American that ever
visited in the east, or figured in
the welfare of mankind, and the
great principles of freedom and
justice. Not only in America is
he respected nd admired for
his open, broad views of men and
matters and his insistency of CIV
ing all an equal chance in the
battles of life, but throughout
the realm of enlightenment, he
is viewed as a man of great abil-
ity,s whose talents are directed
toward better government at
homeland wider freedom abroad.
His visit to Japan, the Philippine
and other eastern countries is to
gain a more perfect knowledge
of the conditions of those coun-
tries and to be able to give a
broader, clearer view of our re-
lation to them as we'll as theirs
to us. In Japan Mr.. Bryan was
most heartily received by the
statesmen Of that little, b ut
powerful, empire. In the Phil
lippines he is admired for his
broad views of justice, his hon
est desire to obtain a rightful
adjustment Of the conditions
that prevail. He will return, to
with more real know
ledge Of that country and speak
palmer after his return, than
any man has yet done. He may
never become our Chief Execu-
tive. but one thing certain, he is
a leader of men, a. man Of mag
netic power and a powerful de-
fender of truth and justice. -.

from our midst to the Grand Lodge on
High, our lamented and esteemed
friend and brother, VIM. Wormack,

1906. He was II years of age, had
been Mason for q years, and was a
Baptist minister and useful citizen.
Whereas, In his grand character of
Masonic manhood he displayed by his
regard and love, his de-
light in our pleasure and prosperity,
his untiring energy for promotion of
all good and charity.
Whereas, BY his sterling qualities of
he won our appreciation,
kindest affection and regard, therefore

WE'D, JAN. "a, 1906.

The C0urier-JOurnal overflow
ed with good schemes last week,
looking toward the liberation of
this country, from the view point
of those who can hear the rattle
of an engine on every PROPOSE
ton that does not cost them a
dollar, but when a proposition
comes to help, the scheme is not
a good one and is impracticable
as we'll as impossible. So far as
the reports in the Courier-Jour-
nal as to the L. & N. building a
parallel line to its self, through a
country it controls. is not to
b e. seriously considered. If
our people will help them
selves instead Of waiting for
showers Of blessings from a cor
poration that already has the
trade of our country, at great
disadvantage to us, it would be
better. If we ever get'a road it
will cost the people of. this Sec
ton some money, time and pa
tience. We should stand united
and not drift with every breeze
that whispers softly of a bright
and prosperous future while we
sitiand wait. Were our country
between two great centers then
we might expect a road even
without help, but such is not the
case. If some of the L. & N.
competitors were in reach of this
field, then again we might get a
road, but no railroad company
can be expected to parallel it's
own lines for the convenience of
any people. The territory
through which the proposed line
is to be built, as given to the pub
lie by the Courier Journal, is
strictly controlled by the L. & N. |
If we are to get a road, we must
look to some other source. The
line surveyed from Cumberland
river to Danville or Harrodsbufg,
via of Columbia and Lebanon is i
practicable. 1t splits the center
of a great country that needs the
service, and is amply able to sup
port such an investment. Its
Southern terminus reaches into a
coal field that will furnish heavy !,
tonnage for a century, while it's
Northern limit would be in close
contact with the large cities.
This line has been surveyed, es-l
innate of cost made, a close cal
culation by expert engineers as
to the earning capacity Of the
road, above all cost, and based
on liberal capitalization. leaves
inviting earnings to capitalists.
This is the proposition for our
people to swing to, and to give
such aid as they are able. For

ROBERT T. BROOKE.

On Monday of last week, August 6. one of
the best men we have known came to the end
OF a long, good life and passed through the veil
into the home, on which he had looked with the
assurance of hope. Mr.. Brooke had nearly
completed eighty-six years, when he died in his
home in Richmond. He was the son of Richard
Brooke, of Hanover County, and the grandson
of Robert Brooke, Governor of Virginia when
Washington was the First President OIL the
United States. He was for many years in bust
ness in Richmond and at one time at Charleston
on the Kanawha River During late years he
has been the Secretary and Treasurer of the
Hollywood Cemetery Company and Treasurer
of the Virginia Historical Society; esteemed and
trusted implicitly by all men.
Mr.. Brooke had been member of the Pres
byterian church for seventy years, and for
nearly fifty years ruling elder of the First
Presbyterian Church of Richmond A devout
and stedfast Christian, intelligent jealous, wise.
he was pillar of the church. Gentle, firm,
true, affectionate, he was the friend of all who
loved his Master, in every church To the sue
cession of his own pastors, he was the loval
friend and counsellor, and to the end of his life
held them in most affectionate esteem-Dr.
VIM. S. Plumer, Dr. r. V. Moore Dr. J. T..
Preston, DR.. R. P. Kerr and DR.. F. T. Nc
Faden. No pastor ever had a better friend
among his elders. Many ministers of other
churches knew him and loved him dearly, and
enjoyed his brotherly and thoughtful regard
His good life was blessing to the city, and his
memory will long be fresh and fragrant through
large circle of friends
