and the battle. 1t is the epic of that the
master depicted and the dirge. He did not draw
well Detaille, but he represented men and
masses of men, afoot on horseback in violent
action calm purpose with inspiring dash and
sombre strength. There is little none of the
gayety of about De Melville. 1t is victory or
defeat; glory 'or death.
During the war De Melville was commissariat
officer. At the Salon of 1872 appeared "The BIZ
vouac before Bourget" now one of the treasures
of the museum at Dixon. The picture OF the
great artist which we reproduce, THE Last Cart
ridges" is of the most spirited scenes of the
war; and may we'll be taken as the truest type
of the great action pictures which were the best
work of De Melville.
At the last Paris exposition he was represented
by four paintings 1.-THE Battery of Artillery in the
Snow" 1.-THE Flag of Truce" "The Granary at
Champigny" "The Last Cartridges" The first
three paintings belong to the widow of the artist,
and the last to M. G. ]. LeFevre.
In the Vanderbilt collection In New York, figures
one of the most important works De Melville
painted, the heroic little band of French leaving
the village church of LIE Bourget. The collection
of William T. Walters of Baltimore, contains "a
Trench Before Paris" and "The Attack of Dawn"
which shows part of the army of Bourbaki, re-
treating on Switzerland surprised by Prussians
in village of the Department of Jura De Neu-
vile painted large scene of the Zulu war which
was exhibited in London and can Episode of the
Battle of Tel-elKebir," which has been shown in
New York.
The artist was raised to the grade of officer
of the Legion of Honor in 1881.

TO REVOKE DRUGGISTS PERMITS
Two Petitions Presented to Probate
Judge by Chanute GtizenA>

Chanute, Kan. March THE psti-
tons asking Probate Judge Alleman
to revoke the permits granted all drug
gists In Ohanute for the sale of In
toxicanting liquors were presented to
him in Erie. There were two of these
petitions. one signed by women, and
the other signed by men The latter
contained BOZ names.
The petitions stated that the signers
believed, from the records of liquor
sales made by the druggists as fled In
his office, that the druggists were vio-
lating the law. and that therefore
their permits should be revoked. The
committees and the Judge remained in
conference all morning. They talked
1t over in heart-to-heart fashion.
The petitioners had no regular spokes-
man. but each member of the COM
mtttees had something to say.
Judge Alleman thanked the commit
tees for coming and assured them that
he would give the matter his earnest
consideration. and act according to his
best Judgment. and according to his
oath to UNFOLD the law.

yesterday by close friends of the
coach at the university, he has been
considering the question of his with
drawal for some time and is likely to
retire permanently from athletics in
the near future as the result of the
present reform" regime in the ma
room institution.
Coach Stagg was willing to go part
way in agreeing to some of the ire
forms,' but decided to back out If the
professors screwed down the lid COM
pletely, according to his confidants.
He held out for the training table
and training quarters on the ground
that both were essential to condition
ing and disciplining the athletes, and
urged that five games were not
enough to develop a football team ma
turally for big contests
Another of Stages chief conten-
tons was that Chicago and Michigan
should meet for the western football
honors as natural rivals, and he de-
voted himself during a great part Of
the recent purity turmoil to bringing
these two schools together again.
The faculty attitude and the alleged
deliberate move by the conference to
embarrass Michigan into leaving the

Stage, who had hoped to smooth the
