John Sargent and His Picture
of THE Weavers.

The close student of painting Will do
well to hurry down from the Manet
show to the Knoedler gallery and there
look at the picture by John Sargent.
THE Weavers." The two men belong
in the same family; they belong TO the
race Of realistic observers, unwarmed
by any glow Of imagination, but never
theless imbued with a potential fire Of
their own. He works miracles and
sometimes they come off, runs a
phrase in one OF Kipling's stories. Mr..
Sargent's miracles seem almost always
TO come off. His skill is uncanny. out
of the most unpromising material he
can make a beautiful work OF art, and
he does this, moreover, without throw
ing over his subject any adventitious
glamour. He paints what he sees, OK
actly as he sees It. His prose is I'M
mitigated prose. Witness the utterly

charm Of the mastery technician. This
is style; this is the transmogrification
of life into art; this is the expression
upon canvas of great artistic indi-
viduality. Like Manet, Mr.. Sargent is
on his way to rank with the masters
of the past.
There are, by the way. two other
artists at Knoedler's just now. both
holding large exhibitions. Mr.. f. Hop
lsinson Smith shows a number OF his
water colors. chiefly Venetian and
Dutch subjects. They have all his old
vigor and delightfulness, and in some
cases, notably the Silence" the Still
Afternoon, Dordrecht." and the "Rio
Fontega," they possess an unusually
fine quality. 1t is celebrating TO see

its seventh annual exhibition Of jew

salient feature is a chapel twenty feet

completed just as it will appear when
placed in the Church of the Pauligt

Paintings of Italy and of the
Far West.

Mr.. Charles Warren Eaton has at the
Folsom Gallery a collection Of paintings
that he has made in the Italian lake
region, especially about Como. The ex-
hibition is large, perhaps unduly large,
and so seems n little uneven. II con-
tains things that are colby painted
and that give no suggestion Of the soft,
romantic charm of the scenes ror-
trayed. But Mr.. Eaton at his best well
produces that charm. We would cite
more particularly THE August Moon

-Varenna." In these pictures-and IN
not few others-this painter scnsi-
lively interprets the spirit Of the lakes
and puts sound workmanship into his
adroitly framed compositions. Trav-

The Great Artist Caught OF
His Guard.

The Ederheimer exhibition of about a
hundred drawings is divided into three
parts. one room is filled with the
primitives, another illustrates masters
of the seventeenth century and third
contains French and English works of
a later period. All these groups are
united by the spirit which from the
earliest times to our own day has given
the drawing its peculiar value. Even
in France, in the eighteenth century,
where artificiality is often super
hcially assumed TO have reigned SUI
preme, drawings were collected with
ardor by connoisseurs who priced
them for just one thing, their artless
spontaneity. The painter Of finished
masterpiece appears before us, as it
were, in full dress. But in the draw
ings that he makes for that master
piece he shows himself 10 us in the
garb of the workshop, making his pre-
lminary experiments, idly playing with
his guard. We apprehend his idea in
all it's freshness and his style in its
most personal phase. An exhibition
like the one now under review is moth
ing if not intimately revealing. 1t
gives us the very essence Of an artist,
or of his school And in some in
stances it will disclose in a master
traits which almost disappear when he
takes a brush in hand. Allusion was
made in this place last Sunday, apropos

pressed hope that the American col
lector would turn his attention TO one
of the most fascinating fields of eX-
ploration in the whole realm of art
seems in a fair way to be fulfilled.
Last Sunday we touched upon two new
exhibitions of drawings, one, at the

Thomas Lawrence, and another, at the
Hodgkins gallery, given to Richard
Cosway. This week we have to record

1t is with a special satisfaction that
certain current developments in New
York galleries are noted in this place,
Many years ago we began to advocate
the cult of the old drawing, and we
have never tired of returning TO the
subject. over and over again it has
been discussed in The Tribune, as
often as possible with illustrations of
memorable works by the great mas
tiers. These however, have almost in
variably been drawn from European

voIving $50 Men on New Build
ing Reported Named.

Negotiations looking to the settle
ment of the strike declared Friday by
union men employed on the Healey
Building had not materialized at noon
Saturday During the morning a
number of strikers gathered near the
structure. but no demonstration was
attempted.
President c. Harrison Barnes, of
the Building Trades Council, who
called the strike. maintains silence on
the matter, although It is understood
representatives TO a conference with
the contractor, B. NJ. Walker, have
been named. This conference may be
held Saturday afternoon.
The strike, which was called Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, was the result
of the alleged awarding of an cleo
triCal contract to concern which
does not employ union labor This
act on the part of Contractor Walker
the union leaders claim. is a viola
ton of certain allie ged existing con-
tracts between employer and en-
ployee
Fourteen labor organizations are
involved, including the structural iron
workers, brick masOns, plasterers
steel workers, plumbers, gas workers
steam and electrical engineers, paint
ters marble cutters, carpenters and
hod carriers-in all, about $50 men.
According to statements Saturday

iron workers have planned to leave
Atlanta to take other jobs. While the
steel work on the Healey Building il
nearly completed, about three weeks
work for the riveting gang and ter
days work for the steel men remain
The strike will not involve other
buildings, it is believed.

MEYERS SUICIDE
THROUGH FEAR
Of INSANITY
Former Atlanta Telephone Man Is
Found Dead in St. Louis Hotel.
Health Was Broken.

ST. LOUIS, July 12-Dr. Heine
Marks, uncle of Charles L. Meyers, Of
Nashville, Tenn, who shot and killed
himself at the Planters Hotel Friday,
said to-day that in his opinion his
nephew's suicide was due to a fear
of insanity, brought about by over
work
Meyers suffered a nervous break
down six months ago and had to quit
work. He was general contractor for
the Cumberland Telephone Company.
A few days ago Meyers told his
bride of three months that if he be-
came convinced that he would go in
sane he would kill himself. A close
guard was kept over him, but he
eluded IT. Funeral arrangements will
follow the inquest to-day. His wife
was Miss Pearl Goldstein, of Nash
vile.
Mr. Meyers who was a special
agent for the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, was regarded as an eff
cient employee. Formerly he lived in
Nashville. where he was connected
with the Cumberland, and retained
his position when that concern was
taken over by the Southern. Sew
eral months ago he was transferred
to Atlanta, but worked here but few
weeks when his health failed and he
took a vacation.
Mr.. Meyers and his bride arrived
in st. Louis Thursday to visit his
brother.
