A MOST INTERESTING LETTER.

Jefferson, Ohio, Nov. II, 1907.
Dear Sir: was born in Ashtabula, O., in
1866 Eighteen months after this, father,
who had served three years under Sherman
in the 3rd Ohio Battery, was killed by the
Lake Shore Railroad Company while coupling
cars. Mother was left penniless with myself
and brother two months old. was handed
over to an uncle at the age Of five, who taught
me the simple life and sent me to the district
school, At the age of fifteen I began walking

THE UNEMPLOYED.

The effect Of the financial stringency on
business has been seriously felt in many
quarters and commented upon in various
ways, but it has been gratifying to note that
the failures in business have so far been so
much fewer than would naturally have been
expected A great many factories and other
business concerns, realizing the necessity Of
retrenchnent and special precautions, began
to better prepare themselves to meet the adj
vance conditions by reducing their working
forces. This action seemed to lessen the de-
mands upon their treasures and helped in the
adjustment to the new conditions, but it en-
tailed hardship upon many thousands Of
men and women who were thus thrown out Of
employment at time when enforced idleness
was most inopportune. In every industrial
center this prlvation has been extended to
degree that has caused much suffering, which,
although silently borne and not brought to
public attention, is none the less severe and
more extensive than is generally supposed
But In some of the cities the condition and
needs of the unemployed have become SO
pressing the benevolent and charity organi-
cations have been unable to meet the demands
for relief.
In New York City the army of the home
less and unemployed has grown so great,
conference of men representing all Of the
charity organizations in the city has been
held to consider ways and means for relieving
distress The New York Times, in its report
Of the conference, says that it is estimated
that there are 10000 homeless men in New
York City and of these only a comparatively
few are of the professional vagrant class, the
far greater number being men who are eager
to get work but who are unable to find en-
ployment. One of the first steps taken by the
charity conference was to decide to give out
to the press statement Of the industrial con-
ditiOns in the city and to advise young men
and others in the owns within striking distance
Of New York to stay at home and not come
to the city with the hope Of lettering their
ondition.-Nashville Banner.

READ THIS LETTER.

Dear Sir: The developments in the matter
Of ''the panic' since my letter Of the 9th
inst, are more or less serious, and | think
Of some interest to you. 1t was known early
last Nav that the inner circle Of the In
terests'' had passed the word along among
their close followers, to sell all exposed
property or F'get it into shape by December. "
They, the Interests did not mean to pre-
cipitate a panic until about the assembling
Of Congress, andeno then unless the Presl>
dent was still obdurate
But there was a relentless fight on between
two thieves, viz. Amalgamated Copper (Rog-
ers) and United Copper (Heinze), which Gull
minated in October. After Heinze's fall runs
were caused on all banks or trust companies
with Heinze affiliations, for the purpose OF
eliminating Heinze completely and w1plng out
the score Of many years standing, transferred
from Montana to New York.
Meantime the President had reaffirmed his
determination to persist in his pursuit of
rich malefactors. - In order to " discipline
him they made the Heinze incident earlier
than they expected, an excuse for panic,
when there was not the slightest financial
9 disturbance outside Of Wall Street.
The banks and trust companies IN Detroit
are most Of them dominated by the 26 Broad
way crowd, as I am reliably informed, and
presumably under orders, passed resolutions
and published them, that in the face OF the
financial emergency they would not pay
checks for ninety days, and then only on no
tice, for the purpose, as they stated, of pre-
venting boarding. 1t was not believed when
l wrote you on the 9th inst, that they could
make the panic work. There was no one
scared. Not one depositor in thousand ask
ed for money beyond daily needs, and would
not scare. It is beginning to transpire that
all products shipped to market are paid for in
checks which the banks will not pay, as they
already have substantially all the money lock-
ed up, and are gradually absorbing everything
in the country. While they cannot create
scare, they may cause much distress, with the
end not yet in sight
l do not write this for publication, but as
far as it may have value for your 1nforma-
ton. Yours truly, s. w. ).

THE JEFFERSON

y
my uncle having moved further away, I Sc
cured the position of janitor for the school
building which paid my board and tuition.
This job held until I graduated in 1885,
working on my uncle farm Saturdays and
vacations.
In the fall of 1885, having inherited $10O
from my grandmother, [ entered the Michigan
Agricultural College, graduated from there
in 1888 with the degree of Bachelor of
SCIENCE, having paid my way by teaching in
vacations and working out of school hours.
The fall of 1888 was the high-water mark
Of the prohibition party, and | voted for
Clinton B. Fiske for president. The fall Of
1892 found me married and farming rented
farm in Lawrence, Mich. I had joined the
Populst movement, and voted for James B.
Weaver and I believe the Fourth District
Of Michigan, in which Lawrence is situated,
gave her electoral vote to Weaver, Michigan
at that time voting by congressional districts.
The fall of 1896 found me renting $40
acre farm in Keller, Mich, the father of
four children and shouting for Bryan and
Watson. Wheat was then 48 cents per BUSH
ell, corn, 20 cents, hogs $240 per cwt, and
bran 40 cents per bushel.
Bryan again received my vote in 1900. In
the fall of 1904 I was the comfortable owner
of 35-acre farm, just the size Of Bryan s.
I was farmer, however, and not an agricul-
turist. That fall I was for Hearst and was
a delegate to the state convention. Everybody
at our county convention was for Hearst so
much so that it was thought unnecessary to
instruct the delegates. Imagine my surprise,
when two-thlrds of the delegates from our
county (Vanburen), following the lead Of a
county seat lawyer tom Cavanaugh), who
had his tip from Dan Campaugh, swung our
county for the Parker organization at our
district caucus. Our county ruled the dis
trict. The Fourth district turned the state
for Parker. I saw money and whisky both
used to influence our delegates.
That fall | swore never again to have any
thing to do with the rotten democracy, and
voted for Tom Watson for president.
Now I have sold my little farm in Michi-
gan and bought one in Jefferson, Ohio, not
over $50 rods from the court house and the
home Of Ben Wade, which is now occupied
by his brother, General Wade. I want to
help teach the doctrine of populism in coun-
ty where there be no demi-pops because
there are no democrats.
l want your magazine sent to my address,
including all the back numbers. Also your
Weekly Jeffersonian. Enclosed please INA
three dollars. If that is not enough send
for more. Advise me as to the best way to
serve the cause. Respectfully,

Among the best portraits by Perronneau in the
present exhibition may be mentioned the por-
trait of Huquier. the engraver, drawn in l'4t.
which at an auction sale some years ago was
purchased by NJ Lazard for $1,000 a price
forcibly contrasting with the 30 francs, SO,
which Perronneau received from Huquer for
making the portrait. There is extraordinary
truthfulness. sentiment, tenderness and harmony
in Perronneaus portrait of a wearing a
brown tunic. in the buttonhoe of which is a
faded rose These masterful portraits reveal. for
the first time, the marvellous genius of Perron-
neau. whose models were, rule, men and
women Of obscure position, and whose works are
now scattered about in isolated family galleries,
chateaus or modest country houses.
Francois Boucher is represented by a charm
ing portrait Of one Of his daughters; the por-
trait of Guck. the composer. by Duplessis is an
admirable piece of work: 50, also is a singuIarly
vigorous portrait of Joseph Ducreux by himself
and the portrait of Nine. Clodion. nee Pajou by
Adelaide abilIe-Guiard- There is a delicious
portrait of Nine lie Royer by Natter, a spirited
portrait Of the Marquis de Boury, in his uniform
o. captain Of dragons, by Coypel; a portrait
by Greuze. of his model. who posed for the
HAPPY Mother" and fine portrait of Greuze
In simple working blouse with white necktie,
by the artist himself. who, by the way bears
a most striking resemblance TO George Wash
ngton. Chsrdin's portrait of himself is
stronger yet more subtle work than the we'll
known portrait in the Louvre. Chardin stands
in his studio His Cervantes- like head Is sur
mounted by loose linen nightcap. fastened by
blue ribbon and he wears a white tunic In
the hand is a long red crayon, and enormous
black. horn trimmed eyeglasses give owl-like
humor TO his nearsighted yet penetrating eyes
In the sculpture section are some admirable

never before been exhibited. Il has remained
since III in the chateau of Champchevrier. and
rier. whose great grandmother was lady Of
honor dame d'atourD to Nine. Adelaide and to
whom it was bequeathed by that princess
There is a superb marble bust by Horldon Of
Diana starting forth for the hunt, and husts
by the same sculptor of Votaire Mirabeau
Tursot Caglostro and the Due de Praslin.
There are exquisite busts by Paiou of the
Prir ccsse de Iamballe and Of Nine Vfeee-
Iebrun. The bust Of Button by Pajou is also
a remarkable work. while perhaps the most
powerful work Of all is the bronze bust of
Cardinal Riohelieu by Jean Varin. which is the
only Seventeenth century piece in the exhibi-
tion.
The fact that these treasures Of pastel and
sculpture ali lent by private galleries con-
Veys some notion Of the accumulated stores Of
artistic wealth that remain in France almost
unknown, not only the public but also to the
amateur. c. l. B.
New-York tribune., 1908-05-31

La Tour museum at Saint Quentin declined to
lend any OF the master pastellists works but
the thrty-nve works in the present exhioitioh
convey a true idea of La Tours genius, espe-
cially when confronted with nearly an equai
number of Perronneau's most characteristic por-
traits.
La Tour is the more brilliant OF the two. The
high mettled impetuosty and graceful ease or
the great court painter give prominence TO
dominating passions. distinction and refnements
Of his models Perronneau, who lived in modest
circumstances is more subdued more robust
and perhaps more subtle than the faVorte
painter of La Pompadour. While La Tour was
enjoying to the full the delights of Nersailles'
Perronneau compelled to travel In country
towns to keep 1.-The pot boiling. Indeed. the
writer once saw in the archives of the town nan
of Abbeville a curious document, dated IioZ'
which is the original poster that was read aloud
by the town drummer announcing that M fer-

Abbeyille where he intended to remain five days.
and during his stay he would place himself at
the disposal Of any amateurs who wished 10
have their portraits made in pastel. either IN
