10 TTTE MOUSING OREGONIA', SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1900. BIOGRAPHICAL STUDIES FOR GIRLS (Copyright. 10O3. by Seymour Eaton.) THE OREGONIAN'5 HOME STUDY CIRCLE DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR ETON XWItOSA DOMIEPIU (1S22-1899.) BT CHARLOTTE BREWSTER JORDAN. "While Mme. Le Bran. In her S7th year, was putting- the finishing touches to the pictures which crowned the close of her life, there was working around the abat toirs of Paris a boyishly clad young wo man, destined to rank with the first art ists of her century. The alert biographer, searching for some adequate expression of the source and method of Rosa Bonheurs art, nowhere finds a clearer statement of It than In that artist's own words: "I have studied art," she writes to a friend, "since I was 10 years old. I have copied no master and expressed to the best of my ability the Ideas and feelings with which she has Inspired me. Art Is an absorbent, a ty rant. It demands heart, brain, soul. body, the entlreness of the votary. Nothing less will win Its highest favor. I wed art. It Is my husband, my wond, my life dream, the air I breathe. I know nothing else, feel nothing else, think nothing else. My soul finds In It the most complete satis faction. ... I only seek to be known by my works. If the world feel and un derstand this I have succeeded. ... If I had got up a convention to debate the. question of my ability to paint the 'Horse Fair,' for which England paid me 40,000 francs, the decision would have been against me. I felt the power within me to paint; I cultlated It. and have pro duced works that have won the favorable verdicts of great Judges. I have no pa tience with women who ask permission to think." This successful thinker Inherited her ar tistic Impulse from father and mother, both of whom possessed just enough skill to make a painful living through their teaching rather than through their handi work. When Rosalie, the oldest child, was but 7 years old, her overworked young mother died; then Raymond Bonheur brought his four motherless little chil dren to Paris, where he paid for their schooling b' giving Instruction In draw ing and painting. Rosalie's aversion to school life now became as exasperating as it was amusing. Truant trips to the woods and fields alternated with keen caricatures of the teachers, mounted on the schoolroom walla with a putty made of chewed bread. These spirited sketches her instructors, with mingled chagrin and enjoyment, afterward gathered Into a scrapbook. ' Falling so signally as a student, she was next apprenticed at a sewing school, where her lack of achievement confessed pronounced deficiency. She pined so for fresh air that she finally became HI, and in despair M. Bonheur let the unhappy child come homo. "While the puzzled father was trying to decide what to do with Rosalie, she developed such an apt ness in handling his art materials that he was startled into a perception of her great possibilities. He therefore took great pains to teach her the rudiments of drawing and correct perspective, and then sent her to the Louvre to copy the old masters. Here she worked with such happy assiduity and complete oblivious ness to aught but the work in hand that the merit of her copies brought ready purchasers. At 17 she tramped the country over, often hungry, drenched to the skin, but buoyed up by beauty of landscape or model, and her increasing ability worthily to represent them. At this time she had a preference for landscape painting, but a successful picture of a goat led her to make animal painting her specialty. In her youth she also evinced a decided tendency for expressing her artistic im pulse In relief as well as In color; for some time these twin glfta of sculpture and painting struggled for the mastery, but color-expression finally won the da. The Bonheur lodgings in Paris were in the sixth story of a tenement-house. Here Auguste painted, Ieadore modeled, Rosalie sketched and taught br little sister Juli ette. The father, now that his children were self-supporting, resumed hi painting and supervised the cftorts of the Indus trious family, happy In their congenal work. Flowers and birds beautified the home of these attic philosophers, and a docile sheep served as an accommodating model for the entire family. Occasionally the strong Isadorc would carry their four footed friend down the six flights to the fields below, and after an hour's gijzir.g would carry him up again to the roof gar den. This little Incident but serves to show'the happy family spirit for which the Bonheure were always noted. It was always a grief to Rcsalie that her broth er Auguste, whom 6he thought unappre ciated by the art world, should not have received the Legion of Honor until two years after herself. At 19 her pictures were first exhibited. Two years later, 1S47, the 12 canvases which she submitted weie flanked on eitn er elde by pictures from the brush of Auguste Bonheur and his father the first they had ever exhibited. Henceforth sev eral Bonheus were represented In every salon catalogue, their work proving tho excellence of the early training given them by their father. After Rosalie received the gold medal for her "Cantal Oxen" In ISO. her father was made d'rector of the Government Art School for Girls. He did not live long to enjoy this honor, and was succeeded by Rpea. who took her sister Juliette nsas el;tant. The new director, quick to dl covcr talent, praised or reproved with equal abruptness, sent the unglfted fly ing back to more prosaic occupations severely discountenanced the unnecessary wearing of masculine attire adopted by her enthusiastic votaries, and expectea others to work as untiringly as herself. The necessity of frequenting the grent slaughter-houses of Pari" In order to study untrammeled the animals Immortalized on her canvas led Rosa Bonheur to adopt that boyish attire which she wore In u modified form during the remainder of her life. With her hair cut short and at tired In a convenient blouse, this young woman used to seat herself upon a load of hay. spread out her paints and work awnv as oblivious to the respectful admiration I of drovjers and butchen? as In her girlhood days she had been to the thronging tour ists in the Louvre. The oddity of her practical attire never brought any Indig nity upon her. thbugh many and comical were the predicaments into which it brought her. All of these she took 'n good part, putting her shoulder to the wheel when porters, mistaking her for one of their class, aoked her assistance, and passing off with a Joke their slight ing remarks about her weak muscles. The year after Rosa Tonheur received thegold medal her "Plowing In Nlvcr nais" and "Haymaking In Auvergne" rmd a furore, which reached Its climax In 1SS3, when the artist, then In, her 31st venr. completed the celebrated "Horse Fair." This picture was painted on the largest cam-as ever undertaken by any animal pnlnter. It took IS months to paint, and necessitated biweekly visits to" the horse markets. A pet horse put his hoof through the canvas, and thu delayed for some months the completion of the nicture. The Engl sh love of horses caused Englishmen to greet thte picture with an enthusiasm whlh soon spread to America. Mr. A. T. Stewart then bought the "Horse Fair" of iti English purchaser, and It now hangs In the Metropolitan Mu seum Ja New Tork. When Landseer. who admired the artist even more than her cinva.s. first saw the "Horse Fair." h m d: "It surpasses me. though It's a little hard to be beaten by a woman." After viewing this picture the Paris salon ex empted thenceforth all the work of Rosa Bonheur from examination bv the Jurv of admission. Napoleon III shared the pop ular enthusiasm over the "Horse F.alr." but hesitated to violate the conventionali ties by conferring the medal of the. Le gion of Honor for the first time upon a womnn. So Eugenie, cnrclcn? of imperll- lng her popularity and determined that honors should be bestowed where most deserved, dro-e informally to the artist's fine old place near Fontalnebleau. and . 1 pinned the medal upon her working blouse ' utterly unaffected by fae highest honors , which could be ehowered upon her, Rosa Bonheur worked as industriously as ever In the seclusion of her forest home. She said that while she believed that her fath er would have become one of the great roasters of Dalntlng had he not ben obliged to work himself to death, t-he nevertheless felt that he erred in trying too hard to please the public She there- , fore decided to paint only such pictures i as nature prompted her to paint, invari- I ably refusing all orders and selling none ( but finished work. j When the Prussians entered Paris In 1S71 ! her studio alone was unmolested by the i soldiery in compliance with the special or- I der of the Crown Prince.

SPOKE OF POTTERY. Woman' Club Entertained and In structed by 3Ir. Hoyt. Pottery was the theme chosen yesterday for the entertainment of the members of the Woman's Club, at their regu ar meet ing. Mrs. R. H. Hoyt. chairman of the fine arts department of the club, read an interesting paper entitled "Anticnt and Modern Pottery." which, however, treated of those branches of ancient DOtterv onlv that have been studied by this department aenng tne past season. Two fipHfhtfiil vocal selections from Mrs. F.etcher Linn i constituted the musical part of the pro gramme, ine business or the club was brief, the coming convention of the Ore gon Federation of Woman Clubs, to bo held in Pendleton Thursday, being tho most absorbing topic The Portland and vicinity delegnfon will leave this city Wednesday morning, arriving at Pendl tinvi,T lne ven'nR. so they will be ready for the three days' convention commenc ing Thursday morning. By unanimous vote of the c".ib an Invitation was ex tended to hold the next biennial conven tion In Portland. Madame Bnuer an nounced that the Shakespeare department would hold Its closing meeting for the sea son Saturday. June ?. at the residence of Mrs. W. O. Broyman. when a recep tion would be .given the members of the department. Mrs: Hoyt had a collection of ancient pottery to give added Interest to her dls- mm wKm fifWV Rota Bonlienr course. Some of these pieces dated far Into antiquity, and were owned by her- ! very- odd and 'interesting delft pieces, a I rare 'Rnh.imlnn Hoci -f. n.i.fin ni.

The nieces owned by hprself and others worklrr- with her enable the students- to observe tne products of different ages without visiting museum As nn Introductory. Mrs. Hoyt followed out h'storlcnlly the use of brick, burn ing them, and the development of pot tery In the different nations, as traced In excavations and ruins. She treated mainly of the Egyptians.. Assyrians. Baby lonians and Greeks, among the extreme w&rsyi&m mw I i j ancients, and the early work of the Puri- I tans, with slight reference to the tracea'of Indian handiwork and art found in ATner- Iica. The entire subject was lively, yet instructive, and the -speaker was liberally applauded at the close of her address, i By special invitation, Mrs. Lynn ap fpcared to favor the club with the musical 1 selections for the .ast programme of the year. Mrs. Linn has been In charge of the music of the club the past season, and to her excellent toate and Judgment t have the members been indebted for so much that was enjoyable. But not as' manager is she so popular as when she entertains with her owa charming selec tions. The first number; "IEtc" (Cham inade), a bubbling, airy song of Spring, to which the singer's winsome face added brighter spirit, was determinedly ap plauded until the singer responded to the encore with "Too Toung for Love" (Toto. 11), another pretty number. Mrs. "W. E. Thomas played the accompaniments. VALUABLE OLD PAPERS.

STORY OF NOME DIGGINGS HOTT GOLD WAS DISCOVEKED OX THAT FAIt CAPE. rty From Golofala Bay Found Yello-rr Metal There In 1SOS Abase of Poirer ef Attorney. WASHINGTON. May 2L While so much Interest is centered in the Cape Nome sold region, it might b timely to look back and review the history of the devel opment of those newly iIIcovered gold fields. Such a review was made by rep resentatives of the Geological Survey, in the report whl.h they submitted to Con gress. They say: "Up to the time of the Klondike rush of 1S37 and 1SS3 but little attention was paid to prospecting In Seward Peninsula, in spite of the fact that both gold and silver had been found in tfce Golofnln Bay region.. According to Father F. Baroum, for many years missionary on the Lower 1'ukon, and one of the best-Informed men of the country.' the presence of gold in the Nome region was reported by na tives to Yukon prospectors some six or eight years ago. These se&m to haVe placed but little confidence in the report, and did not consider it worthy of further investigation. In the fall of lfc93 a coasid--eratiie influx of disappointed Klondlkers Into the Golofnln Bay district took place, and the prospecting of Seward Peninsula may De? saia to nave been then inaug urated. "In July, 1S9S, a rumor Is Eald to have reached the Swedish Mission at uolofnin Bay that gold had been found by a rein deer herder on the coast at Slnrock, about M miles northwest of Cape Nome. Soon after a party, consisting of the mission ary. N. C. Hultberg, J. J. Brlnterson and others, set out for Slnrock In a small boat along the coast. Becoming storm bound on the way, they landed near the mouth of Snake River, at the present site of Nome, Here they are reported'to have prospected some, and found fine gold on the bars In the lower reaches of the river, which led them next day to cross over the tundra to the now famous An vil Creek, a tributary of the Spake. Here, on July 26 or 27, they found some colors of coarse gold, but the majority of the party insisted on proceeding to Slnrock, their original destination. At Slnrock. however, they were not successful, and re turned to Golofnln Bay. The colors of coarse gold which had been found on Anvil Creek during their storm-bound period were not forgotten, for they were considered a favorable prospect by Hult berg. Accordingly, 'a small party- of Swedes and Norwegians, consisting of Eric O. Lindblom, John Brlnterson and Jafet LInderberg. one of whom was In the employ of the Government reindeer service as herder, and another a whaler from the bark Alaska, returned to Anvil Creek about the mlddlo of September, 1SJS. (This creek and Its adjacent moun tains are reported to have been named Anvil by LInderberg from the huge ah-vil-Uke shape of the boss or knob of rock at the top of the mountain.) Here they spent a couple of weeks, and on the 20th are reported to have discovered coarse gold of unquestionable economic value. They made extensive locations on Anvil Creek, and also crossed over the low di vide and staked claims on Glacier Creek and one of Us tributaries. Snow Gulch, which during last season proved the rich est gulch In the Nome region. Ground was also located on Reck and Dry Creeks. After collecting some samples, the party returned to Golofnln Bay, with ground enough staked to make all of them mil lionaires, as the development of the prop erty last season demonstrated. "Upon their return to Golofnln Bay another and larger party was soon formed which hurried back to the Nome region, and as the news spread, notwithstanding the lateness of the season, a general stampede for the new Eldorado to secure locations set In from Golofnln Bay. the Fish River country and St Michael. A meeting was held on October 18, 1S9S. when the Cape Nome mining district was or ganized, which was to comprise an area 25 miles square, with Cape Nome at Its southeastern corner. Dr. Klttleron Is re ported to have been elected recorder. The meeting also determined that -the size of all locations should be 320 by 560 feet. Nearly every individual located not only for himself, but also for his many friends, by power of attorney. These locations comprised not only mining claims on the different gulches, but also town lots near the present site of Nome. The lowest number of locations said to have been made by any one person was four, and the highest 30. To such an extent was the power of attorney here abused that more than 7O00 acres of ground were lo cated by fewer than 40 persons, for them selves and their friends, so that sev eral thousand Americans who arrived later, finding no unstaked ground any where in the vicinity. Justly raised a some what bitter complaint. "At present the majority of the Noma miners are said to be In favor of abolish ing the right to stake ground by power of attorney, of reducing each mining district to five miles square, and making a reduc tion In the size of claims, and of re stricting ownership to one claim per indi vidual in each district. Such a reform would seem to be a commendable step toward the prevention of fraud and the practice of parasitism on the miners' vo cation by the great number of so-called pencil and hatchet men,' whose design is not to mine, but merely to moke ex tensive locations for purely speculative purposes. Ground thus held has not only retarded the development of many of the mining districts of Alaska, but has been the source of unlimited trouble in many placer camps. "As it was already late in the Fall of 1S9S when gold was discovered, but little attempt could be mode at development that season. About ?20, however, was taken out of Anvil Creek and Snow Gulch before the creeks bccam& tied up by frost. Deach Gold. "Up to the middle of the Summer of 1ES9 the attention of the prospectors was entirely confined to the creeks and gulches, but late in July the first dis coveries of gold beach were reported al most simultaneously by a soldier from the United States Army barracks, who Is said to have found ijold while digging a well, and by some prospectors of Nome. "One of the first reported to engage in beach diggings was an old prospector from Idaho, by the name of John Hummel, who. It Is sold, was afflicted with Bcurvy, and therefore could not reach the gulches. Hummel prospected tho beach, and, find ing that It yielded a fair return, went to work with a rocker and took out $120) in 20 days of work. "As soon as the news of these rich finds became disseminated, a perfect frenzy :or digging in the beach siezed the people of Nome. The Commandant of the United States Army post enforced a regulation that no claims could be staked within a strip of ground running along the bea:h. 60 feet In width, measured from hlrh tlde limit. Within this reserved ir- "all had an equal right to dig and wash the gravels. The good feeling and good fel lowship which generally prevailed In hia Isolated community Is attested by the fact that, in spite of the crowded condi tion of this public strip, few If any. serious disputes occurred between the miners. This Is rather remarkable, considering the facf that men are often worwnr within . lew feet of one another nn the same pay streak. This may have been In part be cause of the popular fallacy that the beach furnished an inexhaustible supply of gold, and that the deposits wore being constantly renewed by the action of the surf. "During the height of tne excitement up ward of 1000 men were at work on the beach; by some the estimate is even p.t St. Vitas1 ' 6urd by Dr. WHlmms3 Pin!i PISIs for Pale People as high as 2000. Every man at Nome, be he physician or carpenter, lawyer or bar keeper, dropped his usual vocation end Went to work with a shovel and rosker. Men who had been employed In ths gulches at good wages flocked to the beach and went to work for themselves. Tilts un doubtedly retarded the development of the gulch diggings very much, for it was dif ficult to get miners, even when tha waces went up to $11 a day. The beach pincers proved a veritable 'poor man's preposi tion.' No capital for development was re quired, any one owning a shovel and a rocker having ap equal chance with tne rest. "The larger part of this crowd of men were at work near the town, but the beach- diggings extend for 12 or 15 miles to the west of Nome. Iq the Fall, when this army of miners had stopped work be cause of the frost, an almost continuous rampart extended along the beach rear Nome, which had been formed by the new ly dug gravel, and gave the shore the ap pearance of having been fortified to re pel an Invasion. "The output of gold from the beach can only be roughly estimated, rOr no r-eords were kept. It is fair to assume that the beach miners averaced at least good wages. Such being the cose, the product of the beach must have been upward of half a million dollars, and may .have been much more. There are some Intelligent men, who were at Nome during the ex citement, who estlmato the beach output of gold at from 5500,000 to $1,000,000." NOT PROOF AGAINST STEEL Hoiv Prisoners Escaped From the Morrow County Lockup. A. Andrews, Sheriff of Morrow County, was at the Perkins yesterday on his re turn from Salem, where he had taken a prisoner named Cofer, to serve a term in the penitentiary for larceny In a dwelling. Cofer Is one of two prisoners who re cently performed the feat of escaping from the steel cells of the Morrow County Jail, but he was recaptured soon afterwards. near Milton, Umatilla County. Tho men made a good job of breaklns the chilled Iron bars, Mr. Andrews says, and forced a. square opening larae enouirh to admit a man's "body, "by prying the Dars with a stout steel shaft, which had been passed in to them by some friend out side. The flat bars being very hard, were also brittle, and so could not withstand the power of the lever In the form of a stout steel shaft, that had formerly been usea in the revolving portion of some mill. The square aperture In the outer corridor has not yet been repaired, and theTirison ers are now kept within their cells alto gether. The St. Louis manufacturers of the steel cage are not held responsible for the jallbreak. as the prisoners had obtained assistance from the outside, a contingency no cage manufacturer could provide against. The Morrow County Court Is arranging to have the cage re paired. Sheriff Andrews Is not a candidate for re-election, but Is preparing to retire to his sheep ranches on Penland Butte, in the north end of Morrow County, "where he will run two bands of sheep the ensu ing Winter. He thinks there is a good deal more money in the sheep business at present rates than in the Sheriff's office at 52O0O a year and pay your deputy out of the salary. BCSIXESS ITEMS.

After I had suffered for two and one half years, the disease contirraing to grow worse, I heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. " It was in 1S91 that I was induced to try them, and I was surprised at my rapid improvement. I took, only two boxes, and was entirely cured.
