"ROCk OF AGES"
The Minister Who Painted Thi, Fin.
milinr Picture.


Everybody almost is familiar with
the painting Rock OF Ages" 1t is a
household expression wherever the
English language is spoken, but there
are comparatively few who are aware
that the artist who took the world by
storm forty years ago is the Rev. Jo-
hannes Oertel. an Episcopal clergy
man and the father OF DIR. Il. f. Oertel
Of Augusta, one OF the best known OF
Georgia physicians. Dr. Oertei has
many paintings by his distinguished
father in his office and at his home and
inherits much of the artistic ability
that marks the creator of this world
renowned work.
DIR. Oertel's father is living in Wen
ma, Va, and though wronged out of the
great fortune that should have been HIS
through the sales of the copies of the
Rock Of Ages" which We're stolen
from him by INSCRIPTIONS engravers.
Is not embittered, but looks upon the
world with the equanlmity of the. true
savant and philosopher.
The picture, which is the best known
OF Rev. Mr.. Oerters works, was given
10 the world in 1867, says Human Life.
and at once swept over the world. 1t
has been copied everywhere and mil
lions upon millions of copies sold. The
artist does not regard Ii as his best
piece OF work, but says that through

ton that could be read by the most un-
learned" He sought no particular

the cross, the beautiful face being his
own conception.
In speaking of Rev. Mr.. Oertel's later
work the magazine says:
'One of Mr.. Oertels finest paintings
of recent date and now in the Vienna
studio is his Walk to Gethsemane.
This is moonlight scene and depicts
Christ and his disciples on their way.

larger cities and excited universal ad.
miration. Much good work from his
hand is still extant. 1t is to be found
In New York city in the fashionable

His Christ forming the reredos In
Christ church, Dayton, O., has been
said to present the most beautiful face
or Christ in American art. His 'Shad-
Ow of q Cross In Weary Jond I,
which created interest when exhibited
at the Centennial exhibition at Phila-
delphia. is now the priced possession
or the University of the South. His
work is represented in Washington by
great reredos occupying the entire
back of the chancel in the Church OF
the Incarnation. Some critics pro-
nounce this the finest specimen of
American ecclesiastical art to be found
in the United States today"

Insurance Against Unemployment.

No nation in the world is SO far ad.
vanced as the Danish as regards pub
lie care for those who are In need. The
Danish state aided voluntary insur-
ance against sickness Is without a
parallel Danish poor legislation is
more humane than that of any other
country and is still Progressing in the
rlghf direction and Denmark's old age
pension law, though not yet ideal, has
attracted much attention in different
countries. The next move will in all
probability be an insurance law
against unemployment. A special COM
mission which has been at work for
some three years for the purpose OF
framing proposals in its report on I'M
employment proposes TO form unem-
ployment funds or societies which, like
the sick funds. shall receive public aid.
The exchequer is to pay one-third of
the amount OF the calculated annual
premium, the municipalities may con-
tribute up TO one-sixth of the amount
OF the premium and the members of
the fund-that is, the insured-are
themselves TO find the rest. The aid In
cases of unemployment must not ex-
coed two-thirds OF the average wages
within the branch in question.

Therefore, when your kidneysar are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly" begin
taking the great kidney remedy, DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If You are sick you can make no mis-
take by first doctoring your kidneys
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized 1t

of the most distressing cases, and is sold

Effort to Get Schooner Out of Ice-New Extinguisher
 for Borough.


 The attempt to move the schooner R. J. Beswick out of the ice in the Quinnipiac river yesterday afternoon was watched by people in the vicinity. The ice had softened up some in the afternoon and the captain of the pow CT boat hoped to get the craft free. The schooner was lying at Stevens dock on the west side, and it was hoped to tow it across the river to the dock of F. Mansfield x Sons, where the oysters could be discharged. but the towing boat got the schooner only half way The schooner fetched up in the center of a field of ice where it remained last night. It was not a very great distance to the clear water, but the towing boat could not budge the craft If it rains to-day, as it seems probable, it Is expected that the Beswick will be freed from imprison- ment in the ice.

The Fair Haven East fire depart ment is to be equipped with a couple of fire extinguishers. The borough board is to install two eXtnguishers in the house of Quinnipiac Hose, Hook and Ladder company, and it is be- lieved that this equipment will assist greatly in extinguishing small fires.
 These extinguishers are just what we have needed for long time" said a member of the company last even- ing. Now should there be a fire up on the hill, couple of firemen could start out with the extinguishers and arrive away ahead of the chemical ap- paratus and possibly extinguish the fire, or, if not, they could keep the fire in check. These extinguishers ought to be first class in small fires
 The firemen will appreciate them very much" Another adjunct of the fire apparatus to be provided by the borough, will be pump for pumping out hydrants in winter, after they are used, to prevent freezing Speaking of the Quinnipiacs, 1t may be men toned right here, that the secretary of the company, Joseph J. Parry. wrote a letter of thanks to George F. Lancraft yesterday for his donation of ten dollars for the fire company's treasury, as a mark of appreciation for the prompt manner in which the company responded to a fire at his house a few days ago. True, 1t was only a chimney fire. but the alertness of the fire company and their prompt action, was just as common
