Once Famous Dutch Painter;
Who Refused to Sell Painting,
is Dead in Obscure Carrot

LONDON, Sept. 17.-{Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press).-A
genius who might have amassed a
fortune died In comparative poverty
and obscurity in London yesterday
because he was too proud to give the
world work which did not attain to his
ideals. Few people, even among those
in the art world, remembered that
Matthew Maris, the once famous
Dutch painter, was still living, and
home, until the announcement of his
death at the age Of IS appeared In a
morning paper today.
Matthew, the last Of the family OF
three gifted brothers, was one of the
geniuses who approach to madness.
His smallest picture was worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 in the auction rooms
but one rarely saw the light. He paint
ed only when he felt moved to paint,
and he felt moved very seldom. OF
late years he absolutely refused to
sell his work. Some of those who
knew HIM say that he was a great
idealist, but others with a more CON-
mon-place point Of view declare that
he was merely lazy.
Lived Like Hermit
Maris lived almost the life OF her
nit and was supported by the gener-
osity of a few friends. His studio
was barred to everybody, sealed
against the world as religiously as the
hall of Yale senior society. What

ODD FELLOWS TO
Give BENEFITS

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 17.-Near-
Iy 10000 Odd Fellows from all parts
Of the United States and Canada were
in Louisville today for the opening of
the ninety-third session of the Sow
ereign grand lodge Of their order.
The session began with public meet
ing at which the visitors were well
coined to the state and city by Gov
ernor A o. Stanley and Mayor John
H. Buschemeyer. The response was
made by Frank C. Doudy, of Denver.
grand sire of the order.
Among the matters to come before
this session of the sovereign grand
lodge are several proposals for legis-
lation in connection with the war,
which Grandsire Goudy has annomc-
ed he will put forward
Chief of these is a proposal to ask
the sovereign grand lodge to author
lie the grand lodges in each state
jurisdiction and in the provinces Of
Canada to lay a special yearly assess
ment of 81 to be continued so long as
the war lasts, the proceeds to be ex-
pended through the agency Of the
American Red Cross for the relief Of
Odd Fellows in the military service

the old painter did there no one
knows, but it is believed that he paint
ed pictures-the least Of which the
greatest galleries of the world would
covet-and then burned them because
they did not realize his visions.
Art dealers who approached him
with checks and fattery were driven
away. He told them his pictures were
not worth selling, and he did not pro-
pose to impose on the public, which
followed the fashion like sheep, and
would buy anything with name For
the same reason he would not sign a
picture. holding that every work of
art should stand on its own merits
regardless of the authors name.
The work he did was not turned out
quickly. He once remarked that he
had started a portrait of two babies
years ago, that the babies were now
grandparents and he was still working
on the picture. His chief vexation
was the income tax collector, who
would not believe that an artist who
was one OF the highest sellers was
without money.

JARBIDGE PEOPLE REPORTED
SHORT OF FOOD SUPPLY

Sheriff Harris, who has just re-
turned from an attempt to get into
the mining camp of Jarbidge, tells
us that the camp is up against it in
the way of sufficient food for the pop
ulation. Last fall the merchants put
in their usual stocks of goods, but
the winter has been so long and the
population of the camp has increased
to such an extent that the stores are
bare of all provisions. While in Rog-
erson, the sheriff met a man who had
just come out and who was attempt
ing to get load of potatoes into the
camp. Potatoes are selling for $50
per sack in the camp, sugar at $50 per
sack, and other provisions in proper
ton. Hay on the road into the camp
and fifteen miles out is selling at 800
per ton. Unless the weather breaks
the people of Jarbidge are going to
suffer with hunger, as the only way
to get to the camp is by snowshoes. =

that from their understanding of all

showing the allies continually victo-
rious and advancing rapidly. it ap-
pears possible the entire great Ger

to press the assault. There are many
indications of suffering from strain
