REMBRANDT'S ART

In all the activity that surrounded
rembrandt, in his land Of canals and
dykes, brought to the great commercial
Amsterdam from the busy continent
and the extensive East India trade, he
did not follow the conventionalities Of
his artistic predecessors Of Italy or
neighboring Flanders, but created a line
OF work 50 different and new that he
is called the most original Of all Dutch
masters, and has Influenced all subse-
quent art by his marvellous handling
OF light and shade. q
The art Of printing, diffusing gem
eral knowledge, had released the artists
from the function Of importing scrip
tural instruction for church decora-
tions, and the spirit Of national indie
pendence and wealth created desire
for pictures Of Dutch scenes and Dutch
people. The rich trade guilds which
were so prosperous in Holland wanted
pictures OF their members. corporations
The demand arose for pictures of daily
life, genre, or scenes common and IA

articles of apparel, fuTniture, the toilet,
scenes of relaxation, eating, drinking,
dancing, fine cattle, fertile meadows
and simple landscapes.

Mr. Astor was rather taken aback,
but submitted very amiably.
Padereweski, whose only appearance
this season in London was at this con-

never before did the maestro create
such extraordinary, almost supernatur-

with every emotion in turn as he ex-
pressed them on the instrument.

Large Apartment Building
Not Among the Probable
tiles Just Now.

Three or four months ago this pa
per pointed out the necessity for a
large apartment house and suggest
ed the Hopson property. on South
Main, as the most eligible site for
the building. The demand for such
a building is greater than ever and
becomes more and more so as the
days pass.
The matter has for some time
been under consideration by several
parties, some of whom have had
their eyes on a lot on East 9th street
and drawings have been submitted.
The cost of construction of plan
made by one architect has been
figured on and would cost $4,000.
This plan, though fully up to the de-
mands, has been abandoned and
probably the scheme with it.
However, it is perhaps not so with
the Main Street plan. The necessity
for large building is generally re.
cognized and a company may event
ually be organized to build on an.
other and much larger plan, but il
is useless now to undertake to par
ticularize as nothing definite can be
given, though it is said that one
prominent firm has signifed its will.

In conversation yesterday with
one of the committee having charge
Of the matter Of raising the $4,000
stock for securing the cotton mill,
he spoke in the most encouraging
manner, In two days the committee
raised $4,000 and there will be no
trouble whatever in bringing the
subscriptions fer stock up to the
required amount. The gentleman
said that in a few days it will be up
to the Eastern capitalists to do what
they have proposed to our people or
make a square back-down. What
they will do will probably be decid-
ed in the next forty-eight hours.
The committeeman, in the course
Of his conversation, said that the
proposition is the most popular one
that has ever been submitted to our
local capitalists, both in the city and |
county. The great and permanent
benefit is so obvious to a reasonable
man that those having money to in
vest seem anxious to encourage the
ocation of the cotton mill here, and |
some subscriptions may be doubled |
Is soon as the Eastern people make
public what they will do.
