Story of the American Artist Who

In printing a series of his vivaciouss
pictures of colonial life in Old Viz

for November gives a most interest
ing account Of Thure de Tnulstrup,
the artist. Ia$ ~
hen Thure de Thulstrup was al

be living quietly in New York, a sue

citizen. In those days. to be an ar:

transit lantic land, was as far from
from his intention as q journey to-
\ Mars. And vet it has all come about
logically enough, by slow Degrees
until finally he became prominent
member of New York City's grow
ing colony Of artists.
Mr.. de Thulstrup was born In
Sweden educated in the national
military academy at Stockholm,
which ranks in Sweden as West Point
does in the United States His faith
i er was for a long time Swedish min
lister to France, and, he therefore
spent part of his youth IN Paris.
And SO it came about after he grad

In the early seventies the young
soldier went to Paris, his commits
sion in the army having expired, and
there made a beginning of the study
& of art. 1t ran in his family to be
good draug htsmen, as well as valiant
soldiers. Mr.. de Thulstrup speaks
warmly of the skill in drawing OF his
father and elder brother, although
they never made it a study. Even
then he had not the slightest inten-
ton of being an artist, and his study
of drawing in. Paris was carried on,
for the little time he remained there,
with the expectation OF using 1T in
engineering work. Then came an OPP
ening in Canada as Typographical
engineer. There he showed such skill
that firm In Boston heard of him
and decided he was just the man to
help in preparing the maps for an
atlas they were publishing.
Later he began to make sketches
Of things he sew, to find pleasure

so good that he oMght to be able to
do something with them. He sent
some to the New York Graphic, and,
suddenly. his artistic career had be-

COTTON is BEST
Opinion of Observer Who Has Travelled
Over Large Part Of State this
Season.

How does the cotton crop look
to your" a HERALD representative
yesterday asked A. NJ. Pyron, the
agent for the San Antonio Fair as
ISOLATION, who has just made tour
over very large area of the state.
The best cotton 1 have seen
anywhere in the state this season
is in the Brownsville country, -
was the somewhat unexpected re-
ply. Continuing, Mr.. Pyron said
that cotton had been retarded and
for some reason or other there
seemed to be rather poor stand
in most places where he had been
this season, until he reached Greg
DRY, in San Patricio county, where
he found the crop looking well,
and at the various places in Cam
eron county where be had seen
cotton growing, he found it look
ing exceptionally fine. Most of the
cotton i'll this county, he observed,
was very well advanced and would
be ready for early picking.
THE HERALD understands that
a considerably increased acreage of
the heecY staple has been planted
in this and Hidalgo county this
spring, and a large crop is expect
ed to be rolling out of this region
next fall.

WAS NOT PUSHED INTO
THE RIVER.

The carelessness or 1naccuracy
of a press correspondent at Wash
Iugton makes it appear that one OF
the negro soldiers at Brownsville
was pushed into the river by Gus
toms guard, which will be pub
aished all over the country as
against this town, which has al
ready been so basely slandered IN
the course of this Investigation.
The facts of the incident referred
10 were that the negro, who was
intoxicated and using profane lam
guage, was pushed to one side by
the Inspector and, the walk not
being over two and half feet
wide, stepped off into the mud,
and not into the river at all.
There ought to be some way OF
restraining the untruthful and in
accurate news reporter.
