WILLIAM BLAKE AND CATHARINE

In studying Blake, one comes often
upon patronizing. If approving, refer
ences to his wife, Catharine Blake,
who is characterized as a devoted but
ignorant woman. These leave one
wholly unprepared for her picture, re-
produced in Mr.. Russelrs edition OF
the Letters, from a drawing made
when she was over sixty, for it affords
glimpse of remarkable personality.
The strength of that face, the spirit
power of the mouth, the unfaltering
gaze of the eyes, give 1t a profound
impressiveness,. making one wonder at
Mr.. Symons characterization of it as
almost painful" and at Mr.. Crabp
Robinson's reference to Catharine
Blake's dark eye and remains of
beauty in her youth" This is full OF
a beauty that youth does not know,
and ii is not the remains of anything,
but is suggestive of immortal begin
nings. The eyes are visionary, but un-
like Blake's; he was a man of many
visions; she, a woman of one, and it
was he. For he was her lifelong
vision from the first glimpse of him
when, as girl, she came into a room
and saw him, in all the glory of young
manhood with inspired eyes and
golden locks like the suns rays about
his head. Before either had spoken,
she knew him as her destined hus-
band, and, growing faint had to leave
the room to recover herself.
These two young mortals, alike in
their instant certainties of knowledge,
were married in 1892; then Began a.
married life of radiant poverty, a life
which has perhaps no parallel. from
that of Adam and Eve in Paradise
down to that of Robert and Elizabeth
Barrett Browning at Casa Guidi. Flor
ence, for joyousness and intensity Of
devotion. Catharine Blake. bright
eyed, dark-haired, tall and graceful
served her husband as model for i'm
ages of earthly and of celestial
beauty; did all the housework:
learned. under his tuition, to write
and did copying for him; learned to
help print engravings and color H.
Illuminated books; the two walked to-
gether whole summer days in the
country, dining by twilight at some
wayside inn; so was she cook, house.
wife, fellow-engraver fellow-seer. and
fellow-wayfarer on earthly and on
celestial paths.
This accounts for the sympathy
and awe in her pictured face. the
solemn vision of those eyes, thrilled
through with effort of the will. the
hushed look of responsibilities
garet Sherwood in the North American
Review.

Throughout the city Of Fairmont the

results have still TO be substantiated.
but there is no question that they have

ATLANTAs EXCITED.

When early reports that Franks
sentence had been commuted began TO
circulate. crowds began TO gather on
the principal downtown street corners:
The arrest Of a man who attempted
to dismount a policeman by grabbing
his horses rein. stirred one crowd to
excitement. and they followed officers
to the city hall. a block away. Speak
ers started to harangue the crowd from
the city hall steps. but were stopped
by special police. II was stated that
a delegation was coming here from
Marietta. the former home OF Mary
Phagan.
Two hearings were held here on his
application for executive Clemency. one
before the state prison commission,
Nav 81. and the other before the Gov
ernor. The latter hearing extended
through several days and ended June
l6. Franks counsel prior TO the elem
ency appeal, had made seven unsuc-
cessful attempts before the county, su-
perior and state supreme court TO OBJ
tain a new trial. or to have the YER
dict set aside. The Federal District
Court refused 10 grant writ OF ha.
beas corpus and the United States
Supreme Court declined to grant a
writ Of error for review Of the case
and also denied Franks appeal in ha-
beas corpus proceedings.
Four times the sentence of death
was passed upon him.
Although crowds on the street dis
cussing the Frank case did not appear
so excited as the day wore on. the
police ordered all nearbeer saloons
closed shortly before Il o'clock and
an extra 100 policemen were put on
duty. Orders were issued TO imme'
diately arrest any one attempting TO
incite violence.
