Every surrounding Of art is refined
and its atmosphere pure: A woman's
touch is as delicate, her eye as true
and her hand as firm as that Of 9
man. Yet it is not the delicate touch
the true eye, that speaks the artist
The workmen who reproduce beauti
full statutes in marble have that. II
Is not these things that bespeak the
grand result. It is the seeing of these
things in the minds eye before they
have taken shape in the clay. It is
being able to feel these things in ad'
vance, as the poet feels in his soul
his verses, as the orator feels his
theme, waxing him eloquent to move
the hearts of others. We must feel
deeply ourselves to reach others, and
to bring forth a work of art 1t must
be in our minds to conceive it first
before emancipating it from the silent
clay. Themes of beauty and of grace
must chase each other through the
brain.
The mind must be filled with noble
purposes and beautiful shadows, ideal
forms, majestic, noble groups waiting
to be set free. All of these must
hover around and inspire the artist,
even though he or she may never
have the means to carry any of them
out to perfection in the marble or
the bronze. The artists greatest work
is often being done when his model
ing tools lie idle-when he sits ap.
parently idle, "brooding over his
theme" sometimes for weeks, for
months. Beside this work which is
being done by the brain, the mind,
the soul, the working out in the clay
seems to be almost mechanical.
The field for art is broadening every
year. Our forefathers had no time or
means for these luxuries, for luxuries
they certainly are, not necessities.
Wealth is. accommodating and the rich
like to surround themselves with
beautiful and costly things. People
of refinement and culture try to sat.
isfy for themselves this thirst for ele
CANT and artistic surroundings. Even
the very poor yearn for them and in
their squalid homes of poverty gaudy

Karlsruhe, Germany, June S.-Karl Hau, professor of Roman law at the George Washington university, Washington, b C., who is in prison here charged with the murder of his mother-in-law, Frau Molitor, was visited by the governor of the prisoner today, who informed him that his wife had committed suicide by drowning In a lake In Switzerland. The governor had quite a lengthy conversa- ton with the professor, which led to re- port that he had confessed that he had murdered his wifes mother, which he has strenuously denied. The states attorney subsequently denied the report that Hau had made confession.

WELD DENIES OVER
 CLASSIFICATION
VICE PRESIDENT OF NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE GIVES THE NAMES OF FIRMS GIVING AFFl- DAVlTs AS TO CORRECTNESS.

New York, June S.-Edwin M. Weld, vice president of the New York cotton ex- change issued a statement today replying to criticisms as to the classification of cotton by the exchange. He gave the names of the following cotton merchants, who, he said, have given, or will give af- fidavits that cotton deliverable on the contracts of the New York exchange is not overclassed:
 George II. McFadden & Bros, Philadel- phia; Hooper, Bassett Ss Co.,, Liverpool; Weld & Neville, Houston, Tex, and New York; Inman & Co.,, Atlanta; c. F. Rich & Co.,, New York; Rogers, McCabe & Co.,, Norfolk. MT Weld said also that a buyer who demands delivery Is likely to get 25 to 30 different grades, because so many grades are dealt in and the holder of con tracts, to receive any or all of them. After March l. 19OS however, only fifteen grades will be deliverable. He denied that the counsel for the exchange has admitted that the exchange handles only riff-raff cotton and asserted that its rules excludes sandy, dusty, gin-cut and re- paled cotton.
 He said the exchanges quotations on the day of delivery are one to two cents below the price of cotton in the spot mar ket, because the quotation is based on the price of middling cotton, which this year has ruled at a premium over the current position. The revision of commit- tee of the exchange, he said, made an error when they did not establish ssf- ficiently wide differences at which the grades below middling might be deliev- cred
