THE ART OF MAECUS.
A QUAKER HOOS1ER WHO COULD
PAINT OR MAKE A MATCH.
Early Straggle With m Talent That Could
Not Be Suppressed One of His Beat
Known Picture! Haw He Brought About
m Happy Marriage
One of the unique characters of the
ttate 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
yonth and prime is keen and trne, bnt
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 pnblio 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 publio schools of Rich
mend by ordinance.
Marcus Mote's talent was born with
him. It is said of him that when only
i 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 rebuked, with a
remark, "I do believe this 'mischief
was born in thee."
There was no relenting as the lad
grew up and the propensity to draw
and paint developed. He was forbidden
to indulge his talent, but he could 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 blue 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 brashes 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 da "
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 had 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 bangs
in the statehouse 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 the statehouse. 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 could 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
much attention that her father finally
forbade her seeing the young man, and
the girl was seriously affected by the
breaking up 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
be affected. She had a friend named
Jennie Hardy, since Drake, who had the
confidence of Eva's parents, and one
day 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
as I tell thee. Now, I want thee to
promise me that thee will Will thee?'
"She said she Would. Pretty soon I
met the young man and I said that I
wanted him to come to my studio on
the next day within two or three min
utes after 1 o'clock sharp.
" 'What for?' he asked.
" 'Never thee mind,' I said. 'Now, I
want thee to give me thy hand, prom
ising that thee will be there just as I
aid.'
"He gave me his hand. The next day
at 1 there was a knock at my door, and
there were Jennie and Eva. Jennie lef t
Eva with me. As I closed the door she
aid:
" 'What does this mean?'
" 'I want to see thee,' I said. 'Take
a chair. '
"It was only a minute or two that
there was another knock, and I opened
the door. The young man was there,
and I brought him in, saying to Eva,
'This is George R. Sage. Now you are
my prisoners for one hour. I want thee
and George to be together "for awhile.
At the end of the hour I will call for
yon and let yon out. ' Now that was the
way in which those two young people
planned to get married. George R. Sage
justified my faith in bis high character.

PURE
DO FISHES TALK?
era Ia Testimony From a Han Who
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 somo
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 full
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 upon 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 caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his 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 could catch trout as long as he
chosa 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

NO HURRY IN NORWAY.
People Take Their Time There and Won
der at Tankee Visitors.
These Norwegians are a wonderfully
patient people, says a correspondent
They never hurry. Why should they?
There is always time enough. We break
fast at 9 o'clock. Monsieur goes to busi
ness at 10 or so, and returns to his din
ner, like all the rest of the Scandina
vian world, at 2 :30. We reach coffee
and cigarettes at about 4, and then mon
sieur goes back to his office, if he likes,
for two or three hours. We sometimes
see him again at supper at 8 .30, but
usually there is a game of whist, or a
geographical society lecture, or a con
cert, or a friend's birthday fete (an oc
casion never overlooked by your true
Norwegian), or some one has received a
barrel of oysters, and would not;, could
not, dream of opening them without
champagne and company masculine
company only. It seems to me that
there are entirely too many purely male
festivities here. In fact, the men say so
themselves and that they would really
enjoy many of the occasions much more
if ladies were present. But "it is not
the custom of the country" (a rock on
which I am always foundering) to omit
or to change in such matters. Monsieur
only does as do all the other men of his
age, which is elderly, and condition,
which is solid.
There is tfenrious feeling concerning
America over here in one way and an
other. Morgenbladet, the chief conserv
ative paper, an organ locally of the
first importance, keeps a sort of horror
chamber of Americana. The reason is,
I suppose, that in these very dark and
troublous political times, when not only
the union but the monarchy itself is
threatened and tottering, the conserva
tive interest thinks it dangerous to al
low any virtue to appear in a republic,
and especially in ours, the most flour
ishing, and therefore the most perni
cious, example of that invention of evil
bred. San Francisco Examiner.
Animals In Laibach's Earthquake.
An observer of animal life has col
lected (our Vienna correspondent says)
a number of notes upon the behavior of
animals during the earthquake at Lai
bach. A railway guard observed that
some minutes before the first shock was
felt his owl, chained to a toolhouse,
cried as if for help, and he was with it
when the earthquake began. Some for
est guards observed hares running, as if
for their lives, up a hill before the first
shock. Partridges flew a long distance.
A gentleman who spent the night of
Easter Sunday in a carriage saw the
pigeons and hawks on a tower flying
round it every time that a shock was
near. Sparrows and redbreasts also flut
tered about and' seemed to overcome
their fear of men. The most excited of
all were the horses. They trembled long
before a shock occurred, and some fell
on their knees and sides. The dogs
howled the whole night When a shock
was near, their cries were so strange that
they struck the ear as something not
heard before. London News.
Beat the Law.
Up at Hampden Park, in Springfield,
when the Massachusetts antipool law
was rigidly enforced a few years ago,
Uncle Ed Morse and other pool sellers
oleverly evaded it by putting up for sale
at "auction" cards having printed on
them the picture of a horse. "How
much am I offered for this picture of
Prince Wilkes?" was the query. "Sold
for 100 to Mr. X. Prince Wilkes sold
for $100, what do I hear for this pic
ture of Patron?" It was easy enough.
All the change was that the auctioneer
had to say a few more words. Hart

THE BANNOCK INDIAN AFFAIR
The Honor of the Government Appears
to Be at Stake.
The difficulty is that these Indians
have certain rights to hunt which are
supposed to conflict with the Jstate
laws. These rights are granted or de
fined under a treaty between the tribe
aud the United States, and Governor
Richards, of Wyoming, believes that in
a conflict between the law of a state
and a treaty made by the United
States, within the territorial juirsdio
tion of the state, the treaty must give
way. This may be so. Still the
United States government is granted
by the constitution the right to make
treaties with the Indian tribes, and
the tribes are under the protection of
the general government If a treaty is
made with a tribe dwelling within a
territory, do the laws of the territory
or does the treaty prevail? If, after
such a treaty is made, the territory be
comes a state, does or does not the
state succeed to the obligations of the
United States?
These are serious questions whioh
the settlers in or about Jackson's Hole
auswerod by shooting Indians who
were trying to escape from what they
supposed was illegal arrest We hope
it is true that the troops will remain
long enough in the vicinity of the
crime to see that substantial justice is
done. It may be that the Indiuus
committed an offense against the laws
of Wyoming. It may be that they
were within the law by depending
upon rights whioh they supposed had
been granted to them by the United
States. In whatever way this issue
may be settled, there was no excuse
for shooting the Indians, for, as one of
the victims of the slaughter was a
child, it is clear that the Indians were
not contemplating a murderous attack.
The whites, then, seem to have been
guilty of the gravest crime, no matter
what may be the judgment against the
Indians.
It is a case in which the honor of
the government appears to be at stake,
although no government official stirred
up the Indians. We have a few In
dians who are hostilely inclined, and
we ought to be able for once to do ex
act and thorough justice. Indeed, we
ought at least to be able to follow out
the law as it is laid down by Justice
Matthews, speaking for the supreme
court in 1886, in the case of the Choc
taw Nation vs. the United States.
This is the principle that the oourt laid
down a prinoipal to which, to our
shame be it said, we have paid little
heed: "The relations between the
United States and the different tribes
being those of a superior toward in
feriors who are tinder its care and con
trol, its acts touching them and its
promises to them in the execution of
its own policy, and in the furtherance
of its own interests, are to be inter
preted as justice and reason demand
in all cases where power is exerted by
strong over those to whom are due its
care and protection. The inequality
between the parties, is to be made good
by the superior justioe which looks
only to the substance of the right."
If this rule is followed, the Indian
slayers at Jackson's Hole may not faie
very well.
AN ACTOR CRITIC.
Opinions Valuable Because They Are
Generally Wrong.
I have an actor friend whose opin
ions on matters pertaining to the thea
ter I value immensely because they
are always wrong. And as he never
talks of anything under the sun except
the theater never of books or pictures
or politics or science or morality or
even immorality his conservation is
to me an unfailing source of instruc
tion, delight and inspiration. I have
a suspicion that if he were foolish
enough to venture an expression of
views on any of the departments of hu
man activity excepting that in which
he moves and has his being he would
be a bore; but, occupying himself solely
with Shakespeare and the musical
glasses, so to speak, he is a veritable
boon. His idlest notion on acting or
plays or scene-painting or the public
he has a great deal to say about "the
publio" or on any thing connected
with what is called the profession,
never fails to start a suggestion toward
the opposite and toward the true. He
is a mentor more certain, more constant
and more genial than the most scrupu
lous study, earnest thought or proved
instinct could be.
If his chance observations direct so
surely and unhaltingly toward what is
true and beautiful and just in his call
ing, what terms can fitly set forth the
virtue of his deliberate opinions, the
worth of bis views resulting from se
vere thought, profound consideration
and precise expression 1 Often trubu
lous, disheartening doubts on some
matters with which I must occupy
these pages have instantly dissipated
before the excathedra utterances of
pay actor-friend. Experience to say
nothing of instinct has so impressed
me with the validity of the formula
that orders the exact opposite. There
is no going wrong so far as that rule
is followed. C. F. Nirdlinger, in the

Turkish Funerals.
It helps American women to realize
the down-troddenness of their sisters
in Turkey when they are told that
Turkish widows are sometimes denied
even the moderate satisfaction of fol
lowing their husband's remains to
their last resting-place. When Ismail
Pasha died, 800 of his sorrowing relics,
after sitting up for a week at his wake,
expressed their purpose of walking
barefoot in procession at his funeral at
Cairo. The authorities in the palace
heard of it, and the widows were
locked up. But what an impressive
spectacle a married man's funeral at
Cairo must be when the palace does
not interfere. Harper's Weekly.

THE STORY OF A SAN FRAN
CISCO YOUNG LADY.
A SulVerer From Childhood, and Una
ble to Perform Her Household
Duties, tntlreiy Cured. .
From the Examiner. Sau Franeiteo, Cal 1
Miss Lottie Donell lives with her
parents at 702 Natoina 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 sinoe she was
10 years old Miss Donell has been a
sufferer from a rheumatic affection of
the wrist, and since she was IS 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 sinoe she oan re
member. 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 oould 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 chrouio
rheumatism that had long sinoe settled
in it The female oomplaiuts 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 bike 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 toll 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
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. Thoy are an unfailing speoiflo
for such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St Vitus' dance, sci
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headaches, the after effects of la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow complexions, all forms of
weakuejs either in male or female.
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent post paid on receipt of
price, (50 cents a box, or two boxes for
$2.50 they are never sold in bulk, or
by the 100) by addressing Dr. Will

The remitrknblo peculiarity of this pur
ticnlur Btotie has been known fur two or

ferred to an "the miracle face. " Htand
ing near, as one would in rending au

ish of sneh a memorial nlmft, tho out
lines of tho face cannot bo traced, but
at a distance of from 35 to 60 feet it is
us plain as though dune with an urtict's
brush, the grouping of the npota, veins
and wavy lines combining to tnuke not
only a fair resemblance to a fuce, but a
complete portrait, including hair, eyes,
nose, cheeks, mouth, chin, etc. Its out
lines nro clearest, of course, wheu the
shudows and light play properly upon
it, bnt ut the distance mentioned, mid
in the proper direction, the portrait is
plainly visible at all times. The face is
on the back of the stone, nnd the eyes

dowu upon the gruve of tho person to
whose memory the shaft was erected.
