MRS. COREY'S PORTRAIT.
Painting That Has Brought a French
Artist Many Orders.

The artistic beauty of his beautiful
portrait of Mrs. William Ellis Corey,
wife of the steel king, has made the for
tune of the painter, Jules Cayron. Mrs.
Corey's portrait has not been exhibited.
1t was seen by many distinguished peo-
pie while hanging on the walls of the
artists studio in Paris. The result is
Cayron has been literally bombarded by
beautiful American and French ladies
for portraits. Among these are the
Countess Odon de Lubersac, formerly
Miss Livermore of Boston. Cayron has
made also a great success of her por-
trait. 1t shows above all the quiet ele-
gance and distinction that characterizes
the American countess. Another por-
trait of an American girl by Cayron is
that of Miss Edith Pulitzer, daughter Of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer of New
York. This picture has been extensively
viewed in the Salon of French artists,
and has made Cayron quite the talk of
the town. But of all the portraits he
has painted none has been admired quite
so much as that of Mabelle Dilman
Corey. The eyes Of this portrait are re-
markable-luminous and blue as the lapis

tel. 1--WE don't know the meaning of the
word graft as you use it in the United
States. With us a CRATER is man of
great energy-one who accomplishes
things. We have a mayor and councillors
in johannesburg, but they serve for the
honor of their Office and to promote the
public good. No man connected with our
local municipal government in any i'm

sre dreadfUlly slow with us, but the out
look is for Improvement. Your slump
in the United States had its effect even
in our remote part of the world and
helped aggravate our bad situation. The
diamond mines of Kimberley, which have
the United States as their best custo-

their operations. Our good mines are
still producing heavily, but while they

CHURCH BUILT IN ROCK.
Only Front Of Curious Structure Is
Formed by Masonry.

In the quaint old German town Of
Oberstein an ancient church stands built
in the great rock rising from the river,
says the Wide World Magazine. The
front of the building is of stone, but
the church itself is followed out of the
rock and penetrates far into it's heart.
Tradition says that in the fourteenth
century the Count of Oberstein, one OF
the old robber barons, fell deeply in love
with a beautiful young lady, the daugh-
ter Of neighboring knight
His brother also sought the fair maid
ems hand. and the two brothers had a
violent quarrel The upshot was that
the count flung his hapless brother from
the top of his castle wall, high up the
precipitous cliff. Repeating of his awful!
deed. the count vowed he would build
a church where his brothers body first
touched the ground. He did so, excavat
ing the church in the rock; and tradi
ton goes on to say miraculous spring
of clear water sprang from the crag as
token that heaven was appeased. This
curious church is now the only Protes
tant place of worship in the town.

the saloon keepers in my parish are hon

LEADERS ARE CURIOUS
/. OVER TAFT AND ROOSEVELT
Especial Gable to The Journap.


BEVERLY, Mass, July Taft is be-
big and little. throughout the country
who desire appointments that they may
talk with him about the meeting with
Colonel Roosevelt. and get line on how
the political cat is going to jump.
The watehword for these leaders for the
present is patience. Secretary Norton de-
sires IL to be known that he has ordered
the president to take complete rest for
ten days. During that time. the president
will be permitted to see no one and to
avoid duplication Secretary Norton is
himself going away, leaving strict orders
with Secretary Forster that for ten days
the president must not be disturbed.
Ii is perhaps interesting TO note that
Secretary Norton goes TO st. James. l..
l.. for his vacation. st. James is within
easy striking distance of Oyster Bay.
Norton, however, declares that there is
no significance in that the meantime, it
may be depended. upon a certainty that
the president will take some steps to as
s.st with all the power of his admins
tration the move Colonel Roosevelt is
planning to take control of theorganiza-
ton which set his orders at naught at
Albany the other day. Whatever the pres
ident does, however,, will be done quiet
ly. Secretary Norton made the facts
know ntoday that the president will not
take part In any state campaign this
fall, unless it be Ohio. where he feels
that by reason of hTs citizenship in the
state he is entitled to participate in its
political affairs.
Meanwhile the talk between Taft and
Roosevelt heer on Thursday will be re-
garded as personal and confidential. II
the Ballinger-Pinchot- affair was touched
on at all IL can be said that the presi-
dent remained firm in his position that
the dismissal of Pinchot was the only
resource left to him after the manner in
which his orders were Haunted by the for
mer chief forester. If Colonel Roose-
Welt desired to know 1t there was no
doubt left in his mind either about the
presidents support OF Ballinger.
That however. is a matter of course. As
to the future there are reasons for be-
lieving that matters are shaping up in
such a way that the Ballinger shadow
may not much longer rise up between
Taft and Roosevelt. Ballinger has aged
greatly since he entered the cabinet 1s
months ago. He looks tired and worn,
his hair has whitened and the strain
which he has been undergoing may
shortly force him to retire to private
life for tn ebeneft of his health.
