THE ART OF MAECUS.
A QUAKER HOOSIER WHO COULD
PAINT OR MAKE A MATCH.
Early Straggles With m Talent That Could
Not Be Suppressed One of His Best
Known Pictures Bow He Brought About
a Happy Marriage.
One of the -unique characters of the
state is Marcus Mote, the veteran Qua
ker artist of Richmond. He is now 78
years of age and is very feeble. His
memory of things that happened in his
youth and prime is keen and true, but
the'events of the day pass as the sum
mer clouds. It was he who first defied
the Quaker antipathy to art in oil and
brush, and he secured the petition which
caused the legislature to provide that
the public schools of Indiana should
teach drawing. The petition was pre
sented by Senator Baxter, since de
ceased. Two years previously the Qua
ker artist had secured the teaching of
drawing in the public schools of Rich
mond by ordinance.
Marcus Mote's talent was born with
him. It is said of him that when only
26 years old his mother came home
from meeting one day and found him
scratching a rude picture on the foot
board of the bedstead with a piece of
charcoal. The Quakers held that paint
ing was of the devil and savored of
idolatry. The boy was rebnked, with a
remark, "I do believe this mischief
was born in thee. "
There was no relenting aa the lad
grew np and the propensity to draw
and paint developed. He was forbidden
to indulge his talent, but he conld not
be repressed. It is evident that had he
met with encouragement and aid, in
stead of rebuke, fame and fortune would
have crowned the artist with their rich
est laurels. As it was Marcus had to
take to the woods for his colors. The
primaries he derived from red root, or
from red ink, the yellows from yellow
root, and for bine he was obliged to con
tent himself with bluing from his moth
er's washing tub.
"The only stealing I have ever done, "
he said to a Journal reporter, "was in
taking bluing from my mother's bluing
bag. For brushes I used the hair in the
squirrel's tail, and I used to accompany
my father when hunting so as to get the
tails for my painting. At first, all my
work was done with the pen. When I
secured my first box of water colors I
worked as late at night as I could and
then spent the rest of the night awake,
picturing what I would do. "
- As the boy grew to manhood he be
came more assertive of his art and per
sisted in painting landscape and por
traits in spite of the grumbling of mem
bers of the meeting. He lived then in
Warren county, O., and attended quar
terly meeting at Waynesville. He was
chosen clerk of the meeting at one time,
which led to the protest against his
work rising to the surface. He would
have been disowned bad not Thomas
Evans, father of the well known oil mil
lers of this city, used his influence to
prevent it
Marcus Mote lived in Lebanon, O.,
for many years and personally knew the
great Tom Corwin, whose portrait he
painted for the state of Ohio. It hangs
in the statehonse at Columbus, marked
"By an unknown artist. " In speaking
of this painting the artist said :
: "My daughter happened to be in Co
lumbus and went to theetatehouse. She
discovered the inscription. Corwin came
to me one day when he was at home
from congress and said that the fellows
down at Washington seemed to think
that nobody in Ohio conld do anything,
and that he had refused to sit for a por
trait for an artist there for that reason.
He wanted the work done at home. He
sat for the portrait a number of times,
and I became well acquainted with him.
"He had a daughter, Eva, who was
his great pride, and, together with her
mother, he was very ambitious for her.
There was a young man then teaching
in Warren county who was poor in pock
et, but had a strong will, a clean
heart and first class ability.- He was
modest, however, and his ability was
not known. He showed Eva Corwin so
nch attention that her father finally
orbade her seeing the young man, and
he girl was seriously affected by the
treating np of the friendship. She was
kept closely at home in her father's
suburban residence, and her friends no
ticed that her health was beginning to

Jennie Hardy, since Drake, who had the
onfidence of Eva's parents, and one
pay I met Jennie and asked her to bring
Eva to my studio on the next day at 1
o'clock sharp.
"What for?' she asked.
" 'Never thee mind,' I said, 'but do
Ks I tell thee. JNow, 1 want thee to

'She said she would. Pretty soon I

PURE
DO FISHES TALK?
Here Is Testimony From m Man Whs
Thinks They Do.
We have heard of the language of
monkeys, and of the language of hens,
and of the language of crows, and even
of ants, but it will be a new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes have
a language of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr. Basil Field, has been
making some investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way of communicating a notion of their
experiences to other fishes.
Mr. Field carried on his experiments
in the fishponds of Mr. Andrew, at
Guilford, England. Those ponds are f nil
of trout, which, at the time when Mr.
Field first visited them, were so little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw a baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight a great number
rushed eagerly npon it. He caught
one, and removing it from the hook,
threw it back into the pond.
Then he put in a freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. One of these he canght and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
bis fishing with a newly baited hook,
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after a
long time that he lured another trout to
his bait. And after a little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
a trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth
er pond equally well stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr. Field found
that he conld catch trout as long as be
chose. The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait. '
If, Mr. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes back
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the: re
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand the perils of ' the
hook. This, whatever it is, may be
called a '.'language. ' Fortnightly; Re

IMPERIAL MILLIONS
By JHLIAJT HAWTHOMTi
Copyright, 1801, by American Press Asworls-
r - tion.1
The dagger was produced in court and
identified by Simpson. It was of Japa
nese manufacture, very sharp, with a
curious y carved hilt.
Mrs. Simpson, called by the defense,
testified that between eleven and twelve
o'clock on the night of February twenty-
hve, she and her husband being then in
bed. and her husband asleep, she had re
membered having left a candle burning
in an upper room of the house. She had
feared possible fire, and had therefore
put on her dressing gwn and gone up
stairs to put out the candle. As she
passed the library door she . looked
through, it being ajar, and saw Harry
Trent and another, gentleman talking
together. The other gentleman was
Sfiort shorter by.a good deal than Mr.
Trent and had a dark beard or whis
kers. She had only a glimpse of him in
passing; hj stood rather sidewise toward
her. She did not think he was seated,
but could not swear that he was not.
She was sure she saw hair on his face.
He did not at all resemble the prisoner.
She was able to give no explanation of
his being in the house. Mrs. Simpson's
evidence - was; the only ' thing of any
weight brougnt out in favor of Darke,
but the old lady weakened a little under
the district attorney's severe cross-ex-ami
nation. -
: Daniel Parker, a policeman on duty
near the house on the morning of Feb
ruary twenty-six, testified that he was
summoned by the witness Simpson at
fifteen minutes past six a. m., and de
scribed the position in which he found
the body. After making a brief survey
of the premises he got assistance and
communicated with the captain of his
precinct.
Frank Munroe, a detective, said that
the case had been put in the hands of the
detective bureau at eight o'clock on the
morning of February twenty-six, and
that he had been detailed to investi
gate it There was a safe in the study
at the new house; it was open, and
it contained papers; by whom it had
been opened, and whether or not any
papers or valuables had been ab
stracted from it, there was nothing to
show. The windows of the rooms were
close and fastened; there was no sign
anywhere of forcible entry. From in
formation he obtained, he believed that
the prisoner, Keppel Darke, was the last
person with Mr. Trent before the lat
ter's death. He obtained a warrant for
his arrest, and served it on him at his
studio, in West Tweaty-third street, at
ten minutes before eleven o'clock a. m.
February twenty -six. The prisoner, just
before his arrest, was overheard to say
something about killing the deceased. On
being arrested he asserted his innocence.
Olympia Raven gave her evidence very
quietly and clearly. She had known the
prisoner for a year. She had commis
sioned him to paint her portrait for pre
sentation to the deceased. ' The twenty-
fifth of February was the day appointed
for the last sitting. She had arrived
with her mother at the studio at half
past ten. . The prisoner had informed
her that Mr. Trent had told him the
night before that he was contemplating
marriage with her. She had denied the
truth of this, and her denial had brought
out the avowal of the prisoner's love for
her, which she had reciprocated. At
that moment the detective had entered
and made the arrest. -
Cross-examined, she deposed that she
had frequently seen a Japanese knife
similar to the one produced at the pris
oner's studio; she had admired it greatly.
She had noticed nothing in the prisoner's
manner or speech at any time that was
inconsistent with his perfect innocence
of the charge. She believed him utterly
incapable of such a crime.
' Mrs. Raven, recalled, said that she had
thought Mr. Darke behaved veryqueerly
on the morning of February twenty-six".
He looked disheveled and haggard, and
was violent in his manner. She had sup
posed him to be intoxicated.
Dr. Taylor deposed as to the appear
ance and character of the wound that
caused deceased's death. The blade had
penetrated the left lung and reached the
heart. The blow must have been de
livered by a person standing behind the
.victim. There was no sign of a struggle.
Death must have been instantaneous.
" Various witnesses testified to the pris
oner's good social standing and previous
good character.
'Mr. Bannick, in his -speech for the de
fense, admitted that the prisoner had
been in Mr. Trent's house on the night
of the murder, but asserted that he had
left it before eleven o'clock. He had
gone to ask Mr. Trent's assent to his suit
to Olympia Raven. Mr; Trent, in refus
ing it, had observed that he intended
marrying her himself. This statement,
which was confirmed by the testimony
of Mrs. Raven, a witness for the prose
cution, showed that the deceased must
have' been a man of loose moraU, for it
had been shown that he was at the time
already married to another lady.
'A man of loose morals is certain to
have enemies, and such enemies as are
apt to be moved to murder. Again, Mr.
Trent was a dealer in diamonds; he was
known to be often in possession of gems
of immense value; he might easily have
been murdered on this ground; but it
was not even pretended that this had
been the prisoner's motive. In fact, no
motive whatever had been assigned for
to be informed that one has a rival in a
lady's affections is certainly not a mo
tive. And not only were the prisoner's
social position and character incompati
ble with such a crime, but his conduct
on the evening of the murder could not
be reconciled with a guilty purpose. He
had given his true name to the porter at
the club, and had left him. with the.
avowed intention of going to seek Mr.
Trent at his house.- Again, he had an
nounced himself by name to the care
taker, Simpson. Persons meditating
murder do not act' in this way. As re
garded the dagger, the prisoner frankly
admitted it to be his. He had taken it
with him to Mr. Trent's house that
night for a posuliar reason, which from
Its nature was not. susceptible of proof,
buthe very simplicity of which should
commend it to the credence of the jury.
Miss Raven had admired the dagger at
his studio, and the prisoner had resolved
to make her a present of it
He had accordingly taken it with him
on the evening in question, intending,
after his interview with Mr. Trent at his
club, to call npon Miss Raven at her
house and give it to her. But, contrary
to his expectation, he bad not found Mr.
Trent at . his club, and again, contrary
to his expectation, Mr. Trent bad refused
his assent to his suit. In his distress and
preoccupation he had forgotten on his
departure to take the dagger away with
him. He had gone from Mr. Trent's
house to his own studio, and had there
6pent the night; and this would sum
cientlv account for his disheveled appear
ance the next morning. But surely a
murderer would have fled, and as surely
ho would not have left behind him such
a piece of evidence as the fatal dagger.
But, on the other hand, the real mur
derer who used the dagger had the best
of reasons for leaving it in the wound,
for to do so would le to divert suspicion
from himself. And who was the real
murderer? Unquestionably the short
man with the dark beard whom Mrs.
Simpson had seen between eleven and
twelve o'clock. . The presence there of
this man had not been accounted for.
Yet. .the fact of his presence there had
been sworn to, and that fact was irrecon
cilable with the guilt of the prisoner.
And for the jury to bring in a verdict
against the prisoner would, therefore, be
to add another murder to the one already
committed. Let the short man with the
dark beard be found and the mystery of
Harry Trent's death would be a mystery
no longer.
The district attorney, in asking for a
verdict a?amst the prisoner, said he
should have been well pleased had there
been better evidence to offer in his favor.
Bnt really there was no defense. The
visit of the prisoner to the house waf
conceded; ' the possession of the daggei
was conceded; a dispute on a matter in
volving a woman's love was conceded;
the fact that no one else was admitted
to the house was conceded. As to the
prisoner's explanations about the dagger,
even had they been matter of legal
evidence, they were utterly futile and
ridiculous. No sensible man would
credit them for a moment, and it would
make no difference as to the probability
of the prisoner's guilt if they were cred
ite 1. With respect to the conflict of ev
idence regarding the identity of the
prisoner with the person whom Mrs.
Simpson thought she saw, the district
attorney was far from wishing to dimm
ish whatever weight it might have in
the jury's eyes. Bat he fancied it would
have very little.
The old lady had been asleep and was
still only half awako when she went up
stairs. She had had a glimpse of some
one throngh a crack of a door, and had
thought it was a short man with a beard.
But he might have been sitting down,
and a shadow might have caused the ap
pearance of a beard. The jury would
have noticed that Mrs. Simpson, in the
witness box, bad worn spectacles. She
certainly was not likely to have worn hei
spectacles to bed, however, nor to have
put them on to go up stairs on a voyage
of discovery after a candle. Consequently
that glimpse of hers through a crack in
the door was likely to have been a very
blind glimpse indeed. But it was un
necessary to pursue the subject or tc
weary the jury with farther details.
Everything pointed one way, and that
was to the prisoner's guilt. It was a ter
rible thing that a man of- his position and
training should be guilty of a crime sc
hideous, but it was the jury's duty tc
pronounce as to the facts. And their ver
dict, besides avenging the death of an
honorable and honored citizen, would
show the world that in the city of New
York there was but one law for rich and
poor, for gentle and simple. '
The judge, in summing up, said that
the jury must confine themselves to the
legal evidence that had been produced in
court. The statements of the prisoner's
counsel regarding the prisoner's motives
and explanations did not come under
this head. They might or might not be
true, but the jury could not consider
them. On the other hand, the testimony
as to the short man with the dark beard
should receive their careful attention. It
might be of importance. All the evi
dence against the prisoner was circum
stantial. There had been instances of
such evidence being fatally mistaken,
but such cases were as one to ten thou
sand where it had been correct, and it
was sometimes even preferable to direct
evidence itself. His address was short
and impartial, and at its close the jury
retired for deliberation.
They remained oat eighteen hoars.
When they re-entered court the room
was nearly empty.. In answer to the
clerk's question the foreman said thai
their verdict was guilty of murder in tut
second degree, premeditation not having
been established. It was, as some of tht
jurors afterward explained in interview.

Heat Value of Coal.
The important fact has over and over
again been stated by those wo have in
vestigated the subject with scientific ex
actness that only about 6 or 8 per cent
of the total heat value of coal is utilized
in an , engine . by heating transformed

stated that there are required some
1,202 degrees of heat, or heat units
not degrees of temperature to change
one pound of water into steam, while
during the absorption of this amount of
heat the temperature of the water re
mains at 212 degrees. This immense
amount of steam is rendered latent and
does not sensibly affect the thermometer.
Scientific authorities explain the cause
of this loss in the steam engine as due
to the fact that the 990 degrees absorbed
by water in being transferred into steam

than the print to be cleaned. Carefully
dampen the print on both sides with a
soft, wet sponge, and then saturate it
with a mixture of chloride of lime and

A THANKFUL GIRL.
THE STORY OF A SAN FRAN
CISCO YOUNG LADY.
A. Sufferer From Childhood, and Una
ble to Perform Her Household
Duties, entirely Cured.
From the Examiner. San Francisco, Call
" Miss Lottie Donell lives with her
parents at 702 Natoma Street, San
Francisco. She is a young lady 19
years of age, and of prepossessing ap
pearance. She is one of many thous
ands -of young women who are blessed
with many personal charms, but who
are hindered from an enjoyment of
them by a constitution impaired by
constant disease. Ever since she was
10 years old Miss Donell has been a
sufferer from a rheumatic affection of
the wrist, and since she was 13 years
of age she has been subject to various
female weaknesses which have kept her
physical vitality at a very low stage.
Thus, as she says, she has been a vic
tim of disease ever since she can re
memtier. When she was a little girl
at school she was always placed at a
disadvantage with her. playmates on
account of her frality of body and tim
idity of manner. - She could never join
in any of the more boisterous games.
although she always longed to do so.
But the embarrassing conditions of
Miss Donell s life have all been elimi
nated within the past year, and the
change is wholly due to the effective
work of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
"It must be remembered," said Miss
Donell in telling of the great relief
that Dr. Williams' Pills had ' afforded
her, "that at the time I began taking
the pills I had been for years a con
firmed invalid. My wrist was swollen
out of all proportion by the chronic
rheumatism that had long since settled
in it. The female complaints from
which I had so. long suffered had
wasted my body away until I was but
a mere shadow of my former self and
I had really come to think that the
brightness and happiness of life was
not meant for me. I had not the en
ergy to perform even the most simple
of my household duties, and, in a word
I was completely 'run down. ' I began
to take Dr. Williams' Pills while I was
in this condition and before I had
taken half a box of them I realized
that they were doing me good. I be
gan to feel lively again and to lose that
lax feeling in my-limbs. I felt so
happy over the momentary relief that
had been afforded me that I resolved to
continue taking the pills. After tak
ing several more boxes I was more than
convinced of the high merits of the
pills, for I was then wholly relieved
from the rheumatic pains in my wrist
and I had so far regained my vitality
of body that I really belie ed I had
never experienced the enervating effects
of those wasting diseases which are so
peculiar to women. ; It is a very great
pleasure to me to be able to tell my
young lady friends of :the relief that
has been afforded me by Dr. Williams'
Pills and I will surely continue to
recommend their use to all who are
afflicted 'with the -complaints from
which I have suffered. " .- . :
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain,
in a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and rich

nerves. They are an unfailing specific

There is more catarrh in this section ot
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the las few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and perscribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on t ie market. It is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoontul.
It acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.
