ARTISTS AND PARVENUES.
Trials of Portrait Painters With
NeW-Made Millionaires.
From London Tit Bits.

| from London lit Bits.
Phil Morris, the eminent portrait
| painter, who died when his fame was
at its zenith. had a very unpleasant
experience while visiting wealthy
merchant who had commissioned him
to paint his wife and baby for the
sum of s700. The first evening Mr..
Morris and his "employer'' were dis
cussing the pose" and the artist.
thinking that he had hit on a brilliant
suggestion, said it would be effective
| if the child were lying on the hearth

leaning over, playing This little pig
went to market"
How dare you, sir. Do you wish to
insult me? I've half a mind to coun
termand my order" roared the irate
wealthy magnate. Poor Phil Morris
couldn't think what harm he had done
until a few days later he learned that
his patron had made his money in
pork" and was known as the bacon
king.
The late John Syer who was. perhaps,
one of the finest landscape painters of
his day-his picture of Exeter being
one of his masterpieces-was once
asked to do a painting of a house and
grounds which had just been purchased
by a multi millionaire 1t was a pic
ruresque old mansion which had been
Quilt in the time of Elizabeth, and
our artist naturally commenced upon
a most perfect view. The owner, how
ever. insisted on having the new and
somewhat gaudy wing he had added
brought into the picture. Having
rather a fractions temper, old Mr..
Syer refused to complete his work. and
packing paint and brushes. returned
to London. Years after, descendant
of the man to whom the property
originally belonged accidentally saw
the unfinished sketch in John Syer's
studio. and gave him quite large
sum of money in exchange for it.
One of the famous artists of the
north had a very strange experience.
He was called upon by Yankee mil
lionaire who wanted a picture OF his
dead father painted from photograph.
After roughly sketching the features,
the artist sent for the son in order to
learn something Of the deceased gem
t!eman's coloring.
'Ya'as. I guess that the dad. all
right" was the patronizing comment.
and the young man entered into de-
tailed description of coloring. Now.
even among artists no two people s
ideas of tints are the same SO it was
not to be wondered at that several al
| terations had to be made before the
son was satisfied. Before the portrait
was regarded as complete his two sis
| ters were sent to the studio to air their
opinions. The first, girl burst into
| tears. declaring that the eyes were NOT
the same kind orbs as her poppa
posse ssed when alive. Not having
heard this remark, the younger
thought the likeness perfect, but she
guessed her dad never had q mouth

remarks until trey asked the opinion

State Capital, Big Place.


In the days past the state capital was
the big place, politically as we'll as
socially. Whatever was to be done or
left undone, to he pushed or to be pre-
vented, must be cnergized or stified by
the state legislature. 1t was to its meet
ing place the politicians went, the men
OF large interests, the people who had
influence There was good reason for
this. In the first place. Congress eXer-
cised less power then than it does to-
day and gave more power to the states.

that when there was a tariff to be made
Washington was all-important but the
making of tariffs came at long inter-

More and more Washington becomes
the Mecca of the United States. Every
year an increasing number of people
come to Washington. some on pleasure
bent, some with their heads so full of
serious business that they have little time
or inclination to think of pleasure some
who wisely contrive to mix business with
pleasure to the profit of both. There was
a day when Washington was Stunned by
every one who was not compelled by
stern necessity to go there, and when
Washington was so unattractive that it
was not to be wondered at that no one
went except those who had to do pen
ance for their sins. In those days Wash
ington was a mudhole a slattern among
cities, unkempt, sprawling, elbows out of
sleeves. unashamed of its patches and in
its ignorance glorying in its dirt and
general untdiness. There are persons

INTERNATIONAL TENNIS. American and German Players Meet
 Today in England.

Nottingham, England, July 9--The American and German tennis rep resentatives played their last prac- tice teams today for the second round which begins tomorrow of the Dwight F. Davis international lawn tennis cup matches, the draw for which, was made this afternoon.
 Notwithstanding the indictment weather, Harold H. Hackett, the champion of the United States team, says the American players are m good form and are prepared for the hardest kind of matches. The Germans, on the other hand. are complaining of the climate.
 This afternoons draw is looked up- on as being favorable to the Ameri- can players. Otto. Froltzheim is Ger many's strongest singles player; in fact he is described by some tennis experts as the steadiest player in the world, so it is considered just as well for the American team that he should meet Maurice E. Mclaughlin. Ameri- cas- champion in the first day's play. The showing made by Oscar Kreutzer of Germany at Wimbledon in the all- England championships hardly justi- fes the belief that he can beat R. Norris Williams of Philadelphia.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
CANADIAN PACIFIC WEAK. Nearly Fifty Points Lower Than 1t
 Sold Last January.

New York, July S.-The placid in- difference shown in the stock mar ket recently to accommodating beartsh influence was less noticeable today and movements of stocks were more nearly in accordance with the trend of speculative sentiment Quotations turned definitely downward during the morning trading. The volume of bus mess increa Sed on the down grade, and more shares changed hands in the first two hours than during the entire ses- sion yesterday. The market hardened during the afternoon and some stocks scored full recoveries, but most of the active shares showed slight net losses.
 Canadian Pacific was the particular point of weakness. It fell 1-2 points to POS 1-2 on unusually heavy trading. It touched a new low figure for the year, which brought it nearly fifty points below the price at which it sold in January. Foreign selling was large ly responsible for the break although rumors of a forthcoming $60, ,000, 900 stock issue played part in inhuenc- ing trading. Fully 10000 shares were disposed of for London account and there was selling here by Canadian houses. Official denial of rumors of new stock issue checked the de- cline, although only a small part of the loss was recovered. Bear traders used the weakness of Canadian Pa1 cihc as an entering wedge and suc- ceeded in making headway in all quar- ters. They were aided by liquidation of long stock, much of which was said to be for Pittsburgh account.
 Although the monthly report of the copper producers with it's showing of 8 decrease in stocks on hand of 14.- 659, ,000 pounds. was a more favorable one than had been generally expected, it found little reflection in the stock market. The government crop report was received with a similar degree of apathy. Although a marked falling off in condition and contraction in in- dicated yield for the wheat crop was shown, stocks of the grain carrying roads moved slightly higher during the brief interval between publication of the report and the close of the mar kef.
 Government bonds continued to de- cline. The twos sold at 9S 1-2 and the bid price later was reduced to eS, a decline of a point. At private sales s100. 900 of these bonds went at 9S and another $100,000 was offered at 97 1-2 with no takers, the best offer for the block being 97. U.

 Empire Direct, conceded the 2.1S pace before the flag fell, was never in the running, and O'Brien Boy, liked by only a few, captured the event.
