10 THE MOKNING- OREGONIAtf, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1900. A FAMOUS FRENCH Copyrlgn. IBOO. by THE OREGONIAN'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE: BIOGRAPHICAL STUDIES FOR GIRLS BY CHARLOTTE BREWSTER JORDAN. XV. MME. LB. BR-tTX. (1765-1S42.) "When a reader happens upon the name of .Mme. "Le Brun he Is aware of a pleas urable feeling1 at first Indefinable, but which, traced to its source. Is generally found to have been produced by Borne one of the many pleasing portraits of herself now so widely and favorably known. Each gives an Impression of -- vivacious and winsome personality, whether it be the portrait which she painted of her self as a turbaned young woman looking out with a smiling countenance from her easel the one which, in the TJfflzl gallery. Plorence, elicited so much notice from Goethe the similar painting In the Her jnitago at St. Petersburg, or those charm 'Ing pictures of herself and daughter known as the "little Idylls on canvas," which hang in the Louvre. In her Ingenious autobiography she has eupplemonted these brush portraits with accounts of the brilliant court pageants which she witnessed In the various coun tries of Europe, In sharp contrast to the oneager poverty of her home surround ings, of the terrors of the Revolution. ,of the wit or peculiarities of those whom 6he met. together -with shrewd little char actor sketches and impressions of her travels. This self-lllustirated autobiog raphy Is something unique In the history i of art, and throws a curious side light upon the circumstances attending the painting of the immense number of plc Uures, nearly 1000 In all, which make the 'ibest monument to the lifelong Industry 'of Mme. VIgee Le Brun. A less pretentious painter than her fair contemporary, Angelica Kauftman, the greater beauty and simplicity of her work has better stood the test of time. Daughter of a third-rate Parisian copy ist whose chalk studies and pastels after "Watteau were pleasing, but strikingly devoid of originality, -Mile. Vlgee at tracted notice by her precocity while a very tiny child. At the time of her fath rr's death, a girl of 13, she was a por trait painter of no mean ability, already beginning to fulfill her father's prophecy: "You shall be a painter, my daughter, or there never was one!" "Vernet. the emi nent marine painter, urged her to present an excellent portrait of her mother, -which she finished at the age of 15, for cdmlssion to -the Academy; but her ap plication was refused on account of her extreme youth. Besides the fondi encouragement of her father, the young girl was favored in having Briard. Davesne, Doyen and Claude Joseph "Vernet as her teachers. The last named frequently cautioned her against following the methods of any particular school. "Only consult, my child, the works of the great Italian and Flemish masters; but, above all," he urged, "do as much as you can from na- ture. Nature Is the best master. If you study it diligently, you will never get into mannerisms." This, sensible advice had much to do with the formation of Mile. Vlgee's original style which was quite apart from the contemporary aca demic influence. Her self-improvement was largely due to her untiring copying of Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Rubens (whoF-e chiaroscuro she considered miraculous) and Greuze. Much of this work was quickly sold in order that the young ar tist might support her beautiful but In dolent mother and clothe and educate her younger brother. In order to satisfy that longing for ex pensive wardrobe and amusements which Mme. Vlgee considered necessary to her existence, the widow married a wealthy jeweler. This man proved to be a miser, who greedily wore the old clothes of the dead artist, but refused to provide the necessaries of life for his new family, compelling the already overworked Ellse to -redouble her efforts for their main tenance. On account of that superb health which enabled her to work un ceasingly until her death in her 87th year, the young girl's beauty did not fade un der this ill treatment, but developed so charmingly that betweeen the ages of 14 and 20 sitters flocked to her studio, and her orders multiplied amazingly, chiefly that her admirers while posing might en joy her vivacious society. This Implied flattery never cost the young artist the loss of her simplicity or reputation, her mother's enforced presence preventing any suggestion of stain upon her name. At that time the family lodged in the house of a picture dealer, Jean Baptlste Pierre Le Brun, a man whose judgment upon pictures was considered the moBt reliable In Europe. His unusually fine collection of paintings and prints was obligingly placed at the service of the eager young portrait painter. "When Le Brun offered himself in marrrlage six months later. Mile. Vigee yielded to the persuasions of her worldly mother, who fancied the picture dealer to be very rich, and reluctantly consented to a secret marrrlage until Le Brun could clear him self of certain obligations to the daughter of a picture trader in Holland. Mean while the Influential friends of the artist, not knowing of this, strongly urged her not to marry the man, insisting that she would better cut her throat or drown Iierself than ally her Interests with those of a man whose low tastes would make happiness an Impossibility. All too late the young wife learned the bitter truth of their predictions, and found that she had simply exchanged, her slavery to her stepfather for a lifelong servitude even more galling. Her husband compelled her to tako pupils and gambled away her money as fast as she earned It. so that in 1789, 13 years after her marriage, she left France without 20 of the 1,000,000 francs which she had meanwhile earned. The birth of her little girl, Jeanne, two years after her marriage, was the one ray of sunshine. In the deplorable life of this Ill-treated wife, who worked uncomplain ingly from dawn until dark, declaring that her whole life was henceforth de voted to two objects, her daughter and her art. During the Infancy of little Jeanne the artist-mother while walking In the park was accosted by Marie Antoinette, who invited her to paint her portrait. This Mme. Le Brun accomplished so success fully that she was commissioned to paint 29 more portraits of the gay young Queen. As painter and subject were about the same age, they soon discovered many tastes in common. Mme. Le Brun had a silvery voice and frequently sang duets with the Queen when the latter was weary of sitting for her numerous port raits. Marie Antoinette' soon became truly fond of the unassuming, simply dressed little artist, who In turn felt the most romantic affection for her royal patron, who she declared to walk "better than any woman In France, holding her head upright with a majesty which denoted the sovereign in the midst of her court, without this majestic bearing detracting in the least from the sweetness and grace of her wholo aspect." Mme. Le Brun's friendship with royalty naturally subjected her during the Revo lution to many terrifying experiences. Sul phur was thrown into her cellar, and ominous murmurings and flstshaklngjs olalnly hinted that if she would escape the scaffold she must leave France at once. Her husband being fortunately ab sent, she took 100 louis, which she has just received for a portrait, and, in the disguise of a working woman, arrived pen niless In Rome. Here her busy brush reaped for her ths same golden harvest that she had gar nered in Paris. Orders for portraits of distinguished foreigners poured In upon her, not least among which was one from the Pope, Pius VI. "When Mme. Le Brun learned, however, that she must be veiled PORTRAIT PAINTER Seymour Eaton.) DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR EATON while painting his holiness, she doubted her ability under such trying circum stances to do justice to the subject, and therefore declined the honor. Besides many other famous portraits, she painted two noteworthy ones of Lady Hamilton, one as a bacchante reposing on the sea shore, another as a sybil fine pictures of a beautiful subject, which as works of art afterward sold Jn London for many times their original value. In Rome she also met Angelica Kauffmann, with whom she was most favorably impressed. Leaving the Eternal city, the artist exile traveled over Europe, everywhere received with distinction, and admitted Into the membership of the Academies of Parma, Rome, Bologna, Berlin, Geneva, St. Petersburg, Rouen and Paris. In Prussia she painted a portrait of the much-beloved Queen Louise. In Brussels she had painted (1783) the famous portrait of herself In a straw hat after Rubens much - admired "Chapeau de Pallle," which gained her admission to the French Academy. In Russia a palace was placed at her disposal, and here she painted many por traits of the royal family. The Empress Catherine the Great also engaged a por trait of herself, ,but was stricken with apoplexy before the day appointed for her sitting. England was not behind the rest of the Continent in conferring honors upon Mme. Le Brun, whose portraits Sir Joshua Rey- j nolds declared "as fine as those of any ! painter, not excepting Van Dyck." Georgi nna, the witty and beautiful Duchess of Devonshire, Mrs. SIddons, Herschel and his gifted sister, and the Prince of Wales, after George rV, also showed her great honor. In spite of all the distinction and wealth heaped upon her, she was never truly happy, although invariably cheerful. She who was reported to be so rich that she lit her fire with bank notes and fed it with aloes, wood was In reality always poor, dressing most simply in the muslin gown and kerchief popularized by her portraits, because of the Immense sums which she constantly sent home to sup port her husband, mother or daughter. In Russia she managed to save during the first month of her stay 45,000 francs, but the banker with whom she deposited them failed, and she lost all. Later on, 15,000 francs were stolen from her. Her greatest grief, however, was the unfortunate marriage of her only daugh ter, to whose education she had devoted so much time and money. This child had always been a great comfort to her mother, because of her sweet disposition, but at the age of 17 she conceived a ro mantic affection for an impecunious sec retary. When "Mme. Le Brun assured her that the man was merely attracted by her beauty and was "without talent, for tune or family," the daughter became so 111 that the mother was forced to consent, giving her as a marriage portion- the re sult of her St. Petersburg earnings. "Within five years this daughter ceased to care for her husband, refused to re turn to Russia with him, and lived a gay life in ParlB. while her mother was work ing on the Continent. She died five years before her mother, and grief over her death, preceded by that of the artist's mother and brother, so preyed upon the strength of Mme. Le Brun that Bhe died at the age of 87, after a life of extraordinary energy. In spite of the drudgery of her unap preciated servitude for others, Mme. Le Brun was always generous and cheerful, lovable in her old agp, as in her youth, and, like her picture, always pleasing. Note.

Many people are coming to this state with a view of getting homes, and I think that Justice demands that they have a chance to know as much as pos sible about Alsea Bay and vicinity. The country around here is somewhat hilly, the hills being low near the coast and averaging higher as you go Inland, and generally covered with timber, most of which was killed by fire no one seems to know when, but probably In the '40s. There Is a good part of It standing yet, with the tops above a growth of young timber that has come on since. The Land is nearly all fertile, and suited for grow ing various kinds of hay and grasses, po tatoes, onions, cabbage and a number of other kinds of vegetables. Fruit also grows well here. Apples In particular, I think, are destined to be one of the lead ing products of this part of the country. By putting them in on favorable slopes, and with proper care, the fruit Is as large, finely flavored and highly colored as anywhere. They are not infected with scale, codlln moth or any other kind of fruit parasite. Pears, plums, prunes and cherries promise favorably, as alsd do small fruits and berries. The opening for cattle and dairy busi ness Is as good as a person could ask. Tho range never dries out in tho summer or freezes out In the winter. Cattle, ex cept milch cows and calves, will keep fat all the year without being fed. The Angora goat Industry Is about 20 years old here, and is generally considered one of the best businesses we have, but at present there are not more than 2 cr 3 per cent of what the range would sup port. At this writing there has been no snow, and but a trace of frost, this winter. In over a dozen winters I havs spent here I have never known the snow to ba over four Inches deep, .

The country Is traversed by numerous streams that are cold and clear ns crystal, and abound with trout and salmon in their season. Salmon is an important factor, and fishing forms the chief occupation during the salmon season. "We have dally malls, except Sunday, from two places, and twice a week from two others. Freight between here and San Francisco has been from J2 to $4 n ton, but seems to be fluctuating" a little above that now. Freight to Portland might be cheaper on the establishment of a line of transportation. If asked about the chances to take up Government land or get a home, I would say that the choicest places that are handy to get at have about all been taken, though there are some to be had by going a little further back. But I can call to mind over CO places that are vacant, and I do not doubt but what they are nearly all for sale, and probably some of them for almost any price. A good many oi the settlers made final proof near tho approach of the recnt hard times, and, having no good market for their prod ucts, have gone away. Others of a semi nomadic nature have also gone. In conclusion. I would advise contem plative homeseekers to come and look over the country for themselves, as I con sider no description as good as a personal observation. M. RUBLE. e FOSTER FOR EXPANSION. Pnclllc Const to Re Greatly Benefited and Should Appreciate It. Another of the letters requested by The Oregonian on National expansion has come to hand. It being from Senator Fos ter, of the State of Washington. It speaks for expansion In very clear tones as fol lows: "As the Pacific Coast will reap the greatest direct and Immediate benefit from the Republican policy of expansion. It seems to me that It Is but fair to pre sume that all persons and parties having an actual and positive Interest in the prosperity of the Coast will lend a hand and at the proper time a vote, also in sustaining and upholding this policy. "There are men who have actual in terests in the Coast, but who do not feel justified in supporting what they con rider 'expansion means and will lead to. But when we face the proposition that territorial control or expansion is now the only means of paving the way for suc cessful commercial expansion in certain quarters of the globe, are we not bound, from a merely practical standpoint, to sus tain expansion? And if our institutions are the best In the world. If we lead in education. Invention and the like as we certainly do why should we not extend to the less favored the benefits of our great advantages? "We must expand or shrink and con tract, for we will not stand still. The great commercial powers of the world are active and advancing In those quarters of the globo where expansion will bring the greatest benefits to the United States. We must find markets for our manufac tured products. Home consumption Is not sufficient, and we must look elsewhere and create and capture new markets. And, Inasmuch as some of our friends In the East and of the Atlantic are not pleased with tho prospect of the Pacific enjoying tho fruits of expansion to the extent promised In the direction of Oriental countries, because they fear the growing power and possibilities of the Pacific, because of these considerations It tseems to me our Coast people should stand unit ed. This is the golden opportunity, and I have reason to believe the active nnd wide-awake people of the state to the north of Oregon fully Teallze It and will bo declare when given clearly defined Is sues to decide at the polls. Oregon, In June, will undoubtedly go overwhelmingly for expansion and Republicanism. Surely people residing In somewhat disinterested sections of the East might be expected to regard the question of expansion with indifference if the first state on the Coast to declare its convictions does not Indicate that Its familiarity with the great Issue warrants It In sustaining It. This ques tion Interests the Pacific Coast more di rectly than the Atlantic Coast and, there fore, tho East will look to the West, so far as fair-minded men are concerned, for an indication of what seems best for those most concerned."

THE INFLATION SCARE ABSTJnp PREDICTIONS OX EFFECT OF REFUNDING 3IEASURE. Remark of "Well-Knovrn Person, "Who Pretends to Have Devoted Ycnrs to Study of Finances. A writer in the New York Sun has re cently raised a hue and cry over the awful consequences which he believes will flow from the refunding measure. In the form of an Inflation of me currency. We have condemned this measure as one of the moet vicious that could be proposed, remarks the United States Investor, but we must confess that the ev.ls foreseen by the writer to whom we have Just al luded have altogether escaped our notice, as they undoubtedly have that of most other Intelligent persons. The situation Is described as follows: "The amount of national bank notes secured by government bonds Is now about 1210,000,000. In exchange for ?197.000,0OD of these bonds the banks are to receive a'oout $20,000,000 in cash premiums, paid out of the Treasury hoard, and .$197,000,000 In 2 per cent bonds, against which they are to be permitted to issue $197,000,000 of their own notes Instead of the $177,000,000 they now have out. They will also be allowed, on $C9,000.000 of nonconvertible bonds against which they now have out m notes only SO per cent of their par value, 10 per cent, or, say, $4,000,000, more. The volume of the 'country's currency Is thus to be swelled at least by these additional $24,000,000 of bank notes, as well as by the $i"0.000,0y0 of cash premiums paid by the Treasury, mak ing an inflation of $44,000,000 altogether. If this were all. it would not be a very serious matter, but since the total issue of new bonds is to be $S40.000,000. on which $530,000,000 additional bank notes may be issued, besides a cash premium of $50,000,000. the bill threatens a possible addition to our currency of $720,000,000." Ccrtnln Modifying: Factors. The writer of the above has aired his logic at the expense of his good sense. He seems to have a glimmering of this fact, for he proceeds to enumerate cer tain possible modifying factors, although In the end he returns to his Idols, and raises a cry which, If any one is foolish enough to believe what he says, is calcu lated to produce an immense amount of harm. He says: "To what extent th s possibility would became a reality is, of course, a matter of conjecture. The whole $840,000,000 of old bonds may not be con verted Into new ones, and if they are. It Is scarcely to be expected that the banks will be able to buy them all. The bill, moreover, limits the issue of notes by each bank to the amount of its capital, and the total of national bank capitals Is at present only $608,000,000. Then. too. the notes are to be only of comparatively large denominations, which will to some extent restrict the demand for them, and 5 per cent must be allowed for the fund re quired by the national bank act to be maintained at Washington for their re demption. If, too. the new bonds should, as it seems likely they will, command a premium in the market, that also will have to be considered. The Profit on Circulation. "Nevertheless, that the Inflation of bank currency under the proposed bill. If it should be passed, will be very great, is not to be gainsaid. "On the basis of ex isting conditions It will be, as we have sen, at least $44,000,000, and with the In ducements held out for promoting It, It cannot fall to be many millions more. Even If the new bonds should "brine 105. and the tax on the circulation Issued against them should be made, as pro posed, per cent, the net profit would not be less than 1 per cent per annum." The agony increases as the writer In the Sun. proceeds. For he says: "II is also to be remembered that In flation by means of bank circulating notes. under the proposed bill, will not be sub ject to the same check as Inflation by an increase of bank loans and discounts. Against undue credit entries on bank ledgers there Is the barrier of the require ment that the bank shall hold against them from 15 to 25 per cent in lawful money as a reserve. At present, also, the high price of government "bonds re stricts the Issue of bank notes. With $$40,000,000 of bonds procurable at par or a little above It. the case will be quite different. The reserve which the banks will have to keep against notes Issued on the security of bonds will, Indeed, as has been said, be 5 per cent, and perhaps a lit tle more, but. In comparison with the 23 per cent against deposits now required of uiinKs in large cities, this Is a small mat ter." The Conclusion of the Mntter. What will be the conclusion of this dreadful process? it is described in the following language: "The danger from the Increase of bank currency with which we are threatened by the new currency bill will not consist of any liability to loss by those to whom tho currency Is paid. That danger Is fully guarded against by the Government's guarantee of Its redemption. What Is to be feared Is the rise In prices of all kinds of property to which an Increased volume of currency Invariably leads, the wild opeculatlon It stimulates, and the collapse with which that speculation Ls followed In due course of time. The banks, under the proposed lnw, will take out all the cir culation that they .can, and they will lend aa much of It as they can. Borrowers, tempted by the facilities thus pressed upon them, will begin to buy stocks, mer chandise and real estate, and at first will sell them again at a profit. Then the new holders will resell to new purchasers, and prices will go on rising higher nnd higher until the tide turns and a collapse and a panic put an end to the business. The country will be fortunate If foreigners do not take advantage of the craze while It lasfa, and of the high prices that accom pany It, to sell us goods and tako In ex change money for which, as eoon as the collapse comes. If not sooner, they will demand gold. The gold payments by the Treasury, for tho ma'ntenance of which the new bill Is, supposed to provide beyona question, will thus be rendered difficult. If not Impossible, and If they should he suspended, the discredit Into which the gold standard will be brought In conse quence may revive the agitation for tht free coinage of silver, which now slum bers as If it were dead, and give It a chance of success." The Cnnh Premlnm. Such nonsense as the above would never have been accorded a place In these col umns, were It not that the writer to a well-known personage, who pretends to have devoted many years to tho study of the financial situation, and that his re marks were printed In one of the leading papers of the country, and have been wide ly copied and commented on. There ls so much that ' ridiculous here that one la at a loss to know where to begin In point ing out the folly. Let us start with a fact which in itself we should consider rather Important but which In comparlpn with others stated by the writer In the Sun Is cf little significance. He nwumos that th currency wIl be inflated by $20. 000,000 taken from the Treasury to pay the cash premiums on the bonds exchanged. But If this amount should, as a matter of fact, bo pRid out of the S10S.O0O.00O of Gov ernment deposits in the National banks, thatwould materially change the situation; there would then be no Increase in the money in circulation bv reason of the pay ment of the cash premiums. The AvnUnlile Ilond. Than. too. what warrant have we thpt the banks will be able to 'ncvase the! holdings in any such measure as the writer in the Sun seems to punnose? Some speru l?tlon in the re" bonds 'n Hkoly to take plore at tt" trt. becau" of the g"n rr ImprrsMnn tht troy vjll go to a pre-r-iur Rnt th" "'"ancen aro that the o,', ple who now ho'd th bulk of th honds of this (rovemmer-t wlU cont'ruo to do so after the exchange. Most of tho National all - - debt is held today In a fiduciary manner. National banks, for example, hold a part of It against their circulating notes; eav- i Ing3 banks hold a part In trust for their ' depositors: insuranco companies hold part ! in trust for their policy-holders, and vari ous other kinds of trustees have also large holdings. They hold Government bonds because these are the safest Investment they can make, and they tvIH probably continue to hold them for the same reason. It Is absurd to suppose that hereafter most of them will relinquish the bulk of their holdings to the National banks. Barring such exceptional times as we have been passing through in the last year, the- tendency of money rates Is down ward in this country, and the holders ot the public debt undoubtedly realize that United States bonds will be an even more attractive investment a short time hence than they now are. A Dctc-TrlnBT Fenture. But even if the banks have the oppor tunity to buy up the bulk of the bond?, it is inconceivable that they should care to avail themselves of it. A moment's re flection ought to have convinced the writ er in tho Sun that the banks would not be so foolish as to bite off their own noses, as would most certainly be the case if they should pursue the policy which he outlines for them. He figures that at lOo the new bonds would net the banks which bought them for circulation li per cent. But If even a fraction of the J amount named by him should be bought ' as tho basis for circulating notes, the cur- rency would ho Inflated to such an extent as to break the rate on every Tank loan now outstanding. In other words, the profit to the banks from the increased circulation would be lns'gnlflcant In com parison with the loss which would follow from a general lowering of the money market rate. Unquestionably the refunding measuro will be productive of a large Increase In the amount of National bank notes out standing; but that It will lead to any such state of affairs ns has been outlined by the writer whose remarks we have been discussing is entirely outside the range of probability. Such utterances are mischiev ous. Location Scoured for Scoiirlnp: Mill. The Palles Chronicle. The scouring mill proposition, which has been before our cltiens for the past few weeks, ls Boon to be a reality. J. M. Russell has decided to build the plant on the Sherar property, which is situated di rectly back of the building occupied by the First National BTnk. This property Is 100x120 feet; and Is located adjoining the railroad track, which will make it very convenient. The old brick building on the corner will be repaired and used for an ofllce and a storage warehouse.
