Is aw attribute pf great, very CARICATURE of all arts is least sus ceptible of rule or precept. And here It may be as well to remember that a distinction exists between the draughts man and the caricaturist. . The business of the first is with form visible, outward shape, while the latter deals with character or expression. While it is true that the caricaturist must possess a measure of the draughts man's skill in order successfully to -portray his impressions, it by no means fol lows, that the best caricaturists are the best draughtsmen or conversely that the best draughtsmen are the best cari caturists. Indeed, it is the truest of tru isms that something more than a knowl edge of mere tech nique is requisite to produce an artist of any kind. Wherefore, though Governor Chamber-1 can advance . no lain as he would formula for the man draw himself and as ufacture of a car the e arte atari st toonlsti yet j shall would draw him. venture a few ran dom and miscellaneous notions ' on the subject of pictorial hyperbole which may or may not prove of aid or interest to the tyro in this profession. The common definition of caricature seems for the present purpose inadequate. Caricature is something slightly more than the exaggeration of a prominent feature or features of a physiognomy. It might be defined as a vivid, magnified. accentuated depiction of the 'soul" to take a liberty with the term of things through the medium of the artist's char acter. 1 say through the medium of the ar tists'! character because this is an art eminently subjective. The artist's success must be appraised precisely by the degree in which he has imparted himself to his work. . Perhaps the man never lived who, in accuracy and fidelity could compete with the camera. Yet he is a poor performer, indeed, whose work is not vastly more appealing. In finitely more attractive The camera gives us a cold, impersonal, pulseless narration of fact. The artist also gives us fact, but fiorifled fact; he tells his story with animation, vigor, grace, boldness, brevity, sympathy: with all those features, in short, which constitute the artist. In a word, his work images himself. The qualities which emanate from his pencil represent those which stamp his personality. As a further evidence of subjectivity. it may be noticed that artists uncon sciously reproduce their own persons, at titudes, expressions, etc. A fallacy all but universal prevails that caricature Is necessarily humor ous. Many yf the world's masterpieces -I aisciose very ciearty mat genius, pow erfully to present Its conceptions, has not scored they exaggeration ordinarily deemed the prerogative of humor alone. Dore, the Hlustra trator of Dante's Inferno," Is - an ex ample In hand of & serious cartoonist. Thus to characterise this noble draughts man may surprise those persons who have been accus tomed to distinguish the . - cartoon as something crude and abortive. Although fully conscious of the power of humor and satire, I am far from the conviction that these consider ations are tovbe at tained only through an inadequate capac ity for drawing. In perfect candor It must be conceded that the efforts of Mayor Lane thinks many of our fore-tb r a r 1 e a t n r I at most cartoonists are should consult aa "funny," but theocallst. reader may be assured that it is humor of a most unconscious kind. We laugh, but it Is at the artist, not with him. It is his absurd and bunglesom attempt to discourse in a language with which he is unfamiliar that excites our risibilities. While I have endeavored to differ entiate between the caricaturist and the draughtsman, it Is my design by no means to disparage the more me chanical performance of the latter. In- oced, I recognise that technical excel- Iris 111 V7 great, importance to the cartoonist. Of course, perfection of this nature is not without intrinsic -qualification, at tainable. Yet even the most profound genius can be developed only through application. In truth, It is fairly as tonishing what unsuspected proficiency practice frequently reveals. Artists are, by the nature. Imita tive; almost as remarkable in this re spect as actors perhaps I shouldn't discriminate all art Is imitative, poetry, literature, music, histrionism. painting, sculpture. A metaphysical in quiry into the why and wherefore of the imitative in art need not, how ever, detain us. I shall merely take occasion to observe wherein caricature should not be imitative. This craft Is something: beyond a successful copy of another's execution. . Of course, It would be the blindest fatuity to. dtfstecm the profit and In struction that lie In a familiarity with the productions of master-minds. To be surrounded with splendid examples is not a condition calculated to prove baneful. It is servile, slavish imita tion that calls for protest; the com plete submerging of . individuality is the sin which at one fell swoop anni hilates the artistic decalogue. Many a person has thrown away really splendid gifts in apish mlmlckry of one, perhaps Inferior to himself. Let us avail ourselves of the beneficent Influences of the excellent, but let us not smother the individuality which has generously been vouchsafed each man. Art should be the spontaneous expression of the artist's nature. Various fads and affectations are per petually pursuing each other from news paper to newspaper about the country. Yesterday Crosshatch was the thing; to day it is outline; tomorrow it will be daubs of ink. and the next day some thing else. Now this artist Is popular, and the land swarms with his imitators, but the crowd is fickle; It soon transfers its approbation, and another favorite Is born but to die. To disregard utterly these "schools" is assuredly the course of wisdom. The belief that vulgarity and hideous distortion are the approved Ingredients of the cartoon is an archaic fiction which through overwork is breathing Its last. Gradually it is being recognized that re finement Is not In congruous with car icature. 'At the hazard of differing from some of my brother craftsmen. I might also add that neatness and finish are not altogether artistical transarres-' sions. However, these are casual matters which may perhaps as well be left to the disposi tion of the individ ual. Styles and man ners are too many and varied to be clr- ,. cumscrlbed by any C. K. 8. Wood and v.tenl the ortcatarlst could "y , ton., ilk tag the former's ap- to dwell somewhat pearmnce. on the significance of detail In the work under consideration, but my space is al most exhausted, so I shall be at the ne cessity of treating the subject briefly. Detail is the essential the vital thing. In contemplating a cartoon, unexpected, minute particulars are the source of most of our pleasure. As its importance is of the greatest, so is a mastery of detail the most difficult of acquisition. In truth, I am acquainted with no method of gain ing this faculty. It must be part of the artist's mental equipment. Valuable ex ercise may be had. for. the pencil, how ever, in reproducing the mtnutae of ob jects. To overload a cartoon with mi croscopic circumstances is, of course, de fenseless. A Judicious union of detail and elusion produces the admirable. What to Introduce or what to omit must be determined by that Inexplicable qual ity which men call tact. In the course of this paper the appella tions, caricaturist and cartoonist, have been used interchangeably. It remains to be noted, however, that a caricature and a cartoon are not synonymous. The for mer IS merely an exaggerated delineation of an object. The latter Is a pictorial rep resentation conveying an idea. A carica ture is commonly one of the constituents of a cartoon. The proper kind of pens, paper, etc., is the first consideration of the callow novice, and possibly for the same reason least important. In this connection noth ing is to Ifi said other than that black ink on white paper is the appropriate combination. -Crayon or wash drawing may be used, but are inferior in point of vividness and impresslveness.

SOCIAL AFFAIRS ON OAK STREET Mr. Ed Johnson Victim of Grevious Mistake Mr. Barker Entertains Mrs. Louisa Feliz-O'Chena at the Cameron Mr. Pellett's Proud Accomplishments MR. ED JOHNSON, whose superabun dant Joviality and good-natured wit have been the life of many an Oak-street social affair, was the victim of a grievous misunderstanding Friday evening at the circus. With that broad, unstinted sociability which is" one of his predominating characteristics, Mr. John son called a Btrange young lady's atten tion to himself by coyly- and playfully nudging her with his thumb. Instead of returning in good part the delicate and gentlemanly salutation, the strange young lady communicated the incident to her escort, who chanced to be her husband. That individual promptly organised him self into a reception committee, and in a neat little presentation address bestowed upon Mr. Johnson a handsome black-and-blue monocle. Not knowing Mr. Johnson or appreciat ing his real merit, a rabble gathered about him and expressed some feeling over his effete manner of Introducing him self. It was not until Mr. Johnson gave his personal version of the affair to his old friends. Messrs. Cameron and Fitzgerald.- yesterday morning, that the real facts were known. Mr. Johnson has de cided to remain within the ' protecting walls of the hostelry for a fortnight, and declares that -never again will he be so ciable promiscuously. MRS. LOUISA FELIZ-O'CHENA, onlj daughter of Chief Nose-in-the-Soup, of the Chinooks, ' was among the arrivals yesterday at the big hostelry.

She came to the metropolis early in the week for a brief visit, and had Intended avoiding social ob ligations. During a shopping tour of Oak street circles, however, she got humming a native air. and absent-mindedly put a little too much effort Into her voice. Thus it became noised about that Mrs. Feliz O'Chena, only daughter of the great chief Nose-in-the-Soup, was in the city, and a pressing little Invitation to the Cameron followed. Mrs. Fellz-O'Chena wore a be coming gown of crepe de chine, showing a broad collar with lace insertion and edgings of pean de sole. She will return to the Grand Ronde in about ten days. PEW more delightful stag affairs have been noted In Oak-street circles this season than the little Bacchanalian revel at which Mr. Dempsey D. Barker enter tained a few of his select bachelor friends early yesterday morning. No set pro gramme was rendered, but a distinct so cial novelty In the form of a sipping con test was introduced with much success. First prise was taken by Mr. Louis Bar tello, who sipped 17 schooners in H min utes. Second prize was taken by Mr. W.. Riley" and Mr. James Casey, with a joint score of IS schooners in 12 minutes.

"Egyptology versus Health," was the title of a monograph received at the headquarters of the Tuber culosis Institute of Chicago yesterday. In which it was alleged that the great spread of tuberculosis in America in the last 100 years found Its cause in the dis interment and shipment broadcast over the land of the mummies which had re posed so long in the tombs of the Pha raohs. The monograph was written by Dr. Rafaelle Sorgnac one of the lecturers at the Sorbonne In Paris, who said: That the disinterred mummies started the spread of the tuberculosis germs in Egypt cannot be doubted. There are more tuberculosis germs in the almost Impal pable dust around a mummy than in many cuspidors of effluvia. These germs live for thousands of years, as has easily been proven, and the exhumation of the bodies, even the well-preserved ones, caused an epidemlo of consumption among the workmen and scholars who first ex humed the bodies. It is also well-known that the keepers of the mummy cases have been subject to the disease. The start of tuberculosis in France In a serious sense may be traced to tho great importation of mummies and mummy cases at the time of the Napoleonic in vasion of Egypt, and this start gave the disease its first great foothold In Europe, whence it has spread all over the west ern world. Dead bodies may not secrete the germs, but dead bodies are undoubt edly a favorite lodging-place for the tu bercular bacilli. The bacilli from the mummies are un doubtedly of great age, and it has been shown by experiments in Paris that these agent bacilli are infinitely more deadly than those obtained from the sputum of live persons who are Infected.
