QUEER ACTS OF VANDALISM.
Noted Artists Have Been Moved to
Destroy Their Own Works,

1t is perhaps but natural, says Lon
don Tit-Bits, that men and women of
genius should desire that the best of
their works only should live after
them and for this reason many a cele-
DRAFTED artist has destroyed his own
pictures. When Hogarth was almost
at the height of his fame he painted
an interior which was somewhat Sc
verely criticized by friend The art
ISL acknowledged the business of the
criticism and when his frank friend
had left the studio he took a sharp
knife. deliberately cut the canvas in
two and then threw the pieces into
the coal scuttle. There they were
found the following day by one of the
maids, who took the pieces home.
Some time afterward the story of the
ruined picture reached the ears of
relative of Hogarth's, who there
upon Went to the maid and asked her
to sell him the pieces. She agreed
10 40 SO. but when she went to look
for them one-half had vanished.
Search was made and inquiries insti-
tuted, put with no result, and the rela-
tives had to content with half of the
picture, which is now in the possession
OF Hogarths descendants in Aberdeen.
Hogarth was but one of many. artists,
who have, in fit of discomfort, de-
stroyed their own works. Jules Flam-
meron, in an interesting article on the
life of the late sculptor, Gerome, tells
how the great artist had been working
for many weeks on an ideal group
ssymbolizing the birth of spring, when
he suddenly became convinced that
his treatment of the subject was
wrong and with one blow of his
clinched hand he reduced the graceful
group to a mere mass of Inert clay"

THE DESTROYERS.

If the insurgents are permitted to
carry out their plans, North Dakota
would soon be in the same class with
Nebraska and Kansas-absolutely
without prestige or Importance in
Washington. Nebraska and Kansas
have sent some good men to represent
them at the nations capital and then,
through the we'll known tactics of the
insurgent proceeded to kill them off
without delay. This is precisely what
the political highbinders of North Da-
kota are conniving at today. Is their
opposition to members of our delega-
ton at Washington based upon any
act or acts of omission on the part of
our national representatives? Do they
say that our delegation is composed of
men without influence, without abil-
ity, without those qualities of useful
ness so necessary to progressive
state? No. They do not say this, be-
cause they know that the record
would belle such charges. Their en-
tire effort is directed toward tearing
down the men sent to Washington by
filling the minds of the people with
prejudice. The circulation of false
hoods, the connecting and elaboration
of unsupported scandals is the chief
business of the political guerrillas who
are seeking power for themselves. The
interest of the state is nothing to them.
Self interest is everything.

trait painter, once destroyed a picture
for which he was to receive E1 ,OOO..
The portrait was that of an Anleri-
can lady famous for her beauty. When
the picture was nearing completion the
husband of the lady called at Mr..
Chartran's studio in Paris and re-
quested to be shown the portrait. AZ
ter looking at it for few moments
he declared that it was very beauti-
full painting and that the cOloring was
superb, but that it no more resembled
his wife than it did the empress of
China.
Chartran merely bowed, laid down
his brush and then, taking out his
penknife, deliberately slashed the pic
ture into ribbons before the. eyes of
his astonished visitor and showed him
the door. The sequel to the story
came out later, when it became known
that the millionaire husband had Wis.,
tied the studio for the express pur-
pose of getting the artist to make a
reduction in his price.

OF an artist destroying his own work

THE NEW HOSPITAL.

The discussion of the matter of es-
tablishing new hospital which was
had at the Commercial club last night
disclosed the trend of public senti-
ment IN reference to securing new
enterprises for the CITY, There is no
attempt on the part of those who are
interested in the establishment of the
new institution to enter into compe-
tition with the one already established,
But on the contrary the friendliest
feelings toward the one which has so
far served the purposes of the city
are manifest.
So far as the building of the insti-
tuition is concerned the society which
proposes to operate the hospital asks
the city to furnish site and subscribe
fifteen thousand dollars to the cost of
the building. To this amount the
religious organization will add sixty
thousand dollars. SO that the total cost
of the building will be approximately
seventy-five thousand dollars. The
site will cost the city, it is reported,
about two thousand dollars.
In return for this outlay it is con-
servatively estimated there will be
treated annually about twelve hundred
patients. Many of these will come
from outside the city of Grand Forks.
They will bring with them on an aver
age probably three friends so that the
amount Of money necessarily spent
in the city from this cause will be
considerable.
This is the commercial view of the
matter and is the remuneration which
the business people of the city will
receive in return for the investment
they will be required to make.
A prominent citizen in discussing
the matter before the meeting stated
that in recent visit to the town of
Rochester he had seen scores of peo-
pie waiting to be treated at the hos
pital which has become to some ex-
tent famous throughout the northwest,
and that he was confident that ninety
five per cent of the cases operated
upon there could be as successfully
cared for in this city. The only point
upon which this statement could be
questioned is as to the per centage of
cases which could be treated. 1t is
probable that instead of the number
indicated every one of them could
have been just as successfully handled
by the local physicians had they have
had the facilities.
/ This city could become just as i'm
portant a mecca for the sick and af-
ficted as any Of the. noted places
where the principal advantage As moth
ing more than the opportunity to give
them the best care and attention.
The city must grow by the location
Of new enterprises in It's midst. It
can not secure these without some
effort and at some outlay. The bust
ness men need more customers. They
can only secure these by offering the
public something 1t needs and of as
good or better character than can be
procured elsewhere. This is an OPP
