PENNSYLVANIA IN ART.
MISS GRACE 1IANLAK.
Environment helps to make an artist.
The beautiful fields, fertile valleys, rip
pling brooks, and lofty mountains in
spire a painter with the thoughts for
which he finds expression on canvas.
The greatest artists loved nature. Take,
for example, Millet andCorot, for whom
the woods, flowers and fields had a pe
culiar charm and upon whose paintings
they exerted much influence. This is
remarkably true in the case of the lat
ter, who, during his wanderings through
the Forest of Fountainbleau, and around
the Villc D'Avray, stored up valuable
impressions for his future pictures.
Pennsylvania lacks no natural beauty.
Its fields are the greenest j its lakes the
clearest ; its flowers the most perfect
and if these surroundings inspire a pain
ter, the grand, old Keystone State
should rank among the foremost in art.
Upon examining the lists of the world's
most renowned artists, and finding the
names of Benjamin West, Edwin Ab
bey, Henry 0. Tanner, and other emin
ent Pennsylvanians, we feel that we may
be justly proud of the part which the
Quaker State has taken in the promotion
and perfection of art. . To show how
much it has done in this field it would
perhaps be well to sketch briefly the
lives of some of its most celebrated pain
ters. Benjamin West, one of the most fa
mous artists of his native state, was born
in Springfield, Pa. His artistic genius
.was developed at a very early age, and
in his seventeenth year he settled in
Philadelphia as a portrait painter. He
did not remain long, however, in that
city, but travelled abroad in order to
gain a more perfect knowledge of the
calling to which he had given his whole
attention, and at length settled in Lon
don. His fame steadily increased until,
when still very young, he was taken un
der the patronage of George HI, of
England, which assured his reputation
and gained world-wide celebrity for
him. Two of his most famous produc
tions are "Christ Healing the Sick,"
and "The Death of Wolfe ;" the former
of which gave him a place among the
masters of art. West not only gained
much fame for Pennsylvania through
his own paintings but also through those
of his pupils. Foremost among these
ranks Itembrandt Peale, whose pictures,
"Napoleon on Horseback," and "The
Koman Daughter," are considered
amoni; the best examples of American
art.
Henry O. Tanner, another Pennsyl
vanian, has chosen for his pictures re
ligious themes, and for this reason may
be classed with West. Born in Pitts
burg, he spent most of his boyhood in
Philadelphia, where he received his first
instructions in painting. He did not
take up his permanent residence in the
Quaker City, but went to Paris, where
lie was honored by having two paint
ings placed in theLuxenibourgMuseum.
Among his most successful efforts are
"The Kesurrection of Lazarus," and
"The Annunciation."
Some of the greatest American paintes
have selected the romantic and inex
haustible themes furnished by the early
history of their country, and have be
come equally as celebrated as West,
Tanner, and Peale. Among this num
ber is Edwin Austin Abbey, an artist of
whom every Pennsylvanian may well
feel proud. He was born in Philadelphia.
but, like Tanner, at an early age went
abroad. His pictures, and especially
his lunettes, are wonderful productions.
But Abbey has not yet painted his mas
terpiece. There is a great wealth of art
stored in his mind, for which he has
found no expression, but the outcome
will be a production which will add im
measurably to the reputation of his na
tive State. His principal works are
"Hichard III and Lady Anne," "King
Lear's Daughters," and a series of dec
orative panels in the Boston Public Li
brary. His choice of colonial subjects
when he first began to paint, entitles
him to recognition among the artists
who have selected these themes.
Another Pennsylvanian , Jennie Browns
combe, who has attained success in the
field of art, has gained her renown large
ly through her pictures portraying scene
of colonial life. She wnsb.qrn i.n. a.littlu
hamlet nestling among thohillsof north
eastern Pennsylvania, and in her early
days was surrounded by every natural
beauty which tends fowunl the develop
ment of the genius which made her fa
mous. Her best known productions are
"ihe Peace Hall, and',lliot.leanors.'
We find many celebrated women art -
ists ot tho Uuaker State adopting as
themes for their paintings tho beautiful
nnd simple subject, "Childhood." The
one who has won tho most distinction
through these pictures is Mary Cassatt.
Sim was born in Pittsburg, but early in
her career went abroad and took up her
residence in I'aris, whnro the French
honored her by placing two of her pic
tures in tho Luxembourg Museum. Her
most famous productions are, "Children
Playing With Their Mother," and "A
Little Giri in a Garden." Jessie Wilcox
Smith, another gifted artist haB selected
the spirit of motherhood for her theme.
Although she has not attained as much
success as her contemporary, her fame
Is now steadily increasing. "Bed-Time"
qnd "In tho -Garden" are two produc-
tions which attracted the public eye to
ward her work, nnd won her a well de
served renown.
Thesons and daughters of oldPennsyl-
vania are, as is their usual custom, in
the foremost rank. They have contrib
uted to art, masterpieces'which will in
spire their fellow-men to grander thoughts
and nobler actions. They have uplifted
the Keystone State, until in this field it
ranks among the first stars in the gal
axy of the Union. It was perhaps due
to the hardships which the sturdy
Quakers encountered in the early settle
ment of Pennsylvania that more atten
tion was not given to painting, but now
we feel'that the great wealth of art stor
ed in the descendants of these stern
Quakers will continue to develop, and
we may well prophesy n glorious
future for Pennsylvania in the realm of
art.
"PENNSYLVANIA IN AHT."
I1Y MISS FAITH fl.AHK.
For so small a word, "Art" is greatly
abused. It is continually being applied
to objects which altogether lack artistic
qualities, or being withhold as too strong
a term when metaphorically clamoring
for recognition. The classes into which
art is divided range all the way from the
sordid occupation of ditch-digging to the
exalted one of portrait painting. The
man who has the ability to dig a ditch
true to the specifications is an artist; but,
it must be admitted, is lower in the scale
of excellence than he who is gifted with
the faculty of faithfully reproducing with
brushes and pigments, life, nature and
architecture. Naturally then, the labor
ing type is met with more frequently
than is the one to which the term "ar
tist" is particularly applied. Hare as is
the true artist, Pennsylvania may well
feel proud of the distinction of being the
home, and, in several cases, the birth
place of many of the cleverest in the pro
fession. Her gifted sons and daughters,
quick to recognize the worth of their
native State, have immortalized her in
dustries, her scenery, her history and
her people.
Unquestionably the portrait painters
take the foremost rank, when their work
is inspired by real genius. For it surely
requires vastly superior skill to imprison
upon canvas a flitting expression, than
to reproduce the unchanging beauties of
inanimate nature. Of this class of ar
tists, the Keystone State lias a liberal
share, and greatly does she enjoy the
tributes paid them, not only by I'cnn-
svlvanians but also hv the citizens of
less fortunate States.
The most prominent of these, whose
name and productions are constantly
seen in current literature, is John Singer
Sargent. Although born in Florence, his
Pennsylvanian parentage permits his be
ing claimed by us. The name "Sargent"
signed to a painting, is just as much a
guarantee of worth as is the word "Ster
ling" upon a piece of silver; and to be
painted by Sargent lends the crowning
distinction to the modern American wo
man. Ranking closely with the master
artist, we haye Edwin Abbey and John
Alexander. The latter, a Philadelphian,
is classed with the portrait painters, al
though he lias several times departed
from ins customary studies on one oc-
casiontobecome decoratorof the Library
of Congress. Wilkes-Barre claims George
Catlin, who, while not strictly a portrait
painter, depicts the true American, the
Indian, in his varied and picturesque
occupations. To familiarize himself with
the habits of the Red Men, Catlin lived
among them for several years, which ac
counts for the realism of his productions.
Realism is, in fact, a characteristic of
nearly all Pennsylvanian artists, so few
are there who have adopted the impres
sionistic methods of the new school.
But we are by no means restricted to
a consideration of our portrait painters.
The deeds of those who have shaped the
history of our commonwealth have al
ways found capable illustrators. Fore
most among these ranks Benjamin West,
an ardent lover of Pennsylvania, his na
tive State. He is the acknowledged
leader in the field ; others have achieved
distinction, like Rembrandt Peale and
Matthew Pratt, profiting by his instruc
tion; and still others of merit show in
their work the influence of his masterly
style. What wonder that other States
look with envy upon one which has
given to the world an artist, who, through
merit alone, became President Nof the
Royal Academy of Art? That honor was
but a fitting climax to Benjamin West's
.successful -career. Othevs in the histori
cal realm are Rotherinel and Sully.
There is hardly a farmhouse throughout
the State that does not boast a reprodnc
tion of the painting "Washington Cross
ing the Delaware," yet it is highly prob
able that not one-half of tho owners
I jnow Sully as tho creatorof that famous
j w ark, and not one-quarter know that
ho was a patriotic citizen of their own
Pennsylvania. Not less wonderful, al
though not enjoying quito the same pop
ularity, is the painting by Itothermcl
which serves to keep fresh in our mem
ories tho Battle of Gettysburg.
To the mural painters belong Thomas
Kakins, exhibitions of whoso art may bo
Been in Philadelphia, and Frank Millet,
who, besides being noted as decorator in
Carnegie Institute, has executed a won
derful portrait of William Winter.
Among tho many illustrators compet
ing for success nt the present time, Penn
sylvania furnishes two representatives
who are swiftly gaining recognition, AH
within the wide circulation of "Collier's"
and "Harper's Weekly," are familiar
with the drawings of Charlotte Harding,
and the child studies of Jessie Wilcox
Smith, which are universally popular,
especially tho lattcr's latest production,
"The Seven Ages of Childhood."
If the pride of Pennsylvania, as a
State, in her gifted painters, is wholly
justifiable, may not Honesdate be par-,
doned a word of extravagant praise of
two artists which she is privileged to
claim as her very own? One of these,
Jennie Brownscombe, has spent much
time in and about her native town, im
mortalizing the beauty of its surround
ing country. Her painting, "The Peace
Ball," which ranks among the finest ex
amples of colonial creations, warrants
her being classed with tho devotees of
history. Our other local artist is William
H. Ham, whose paintings, while not as
famous as those of Miss Brownscombe,
are not less appreciated by an admiring
townspeople.
But there is no reason why we should
marvel at Pennsylvania's superiority in
the field of art. It is rather a thing to
be accepted as a matter of course ; since,
with literary ability, cultivated taste and
creative genius, it would be a sheer im
possibility for art to fail in finding noble
-expression. As this has been impressed
upon us, to the extent ol having become
an undisputable fact, so must we im
press it upon the rising generation, in
order that they may be inspired .to set
still more brilliant jewels in the crown
of Pennsylvania.

CITIZEN'S 5 MILE RACE
How to Train.
For all who may contemplate entering
this race, the following suggestions
are important:
Long walks and slow jogging should
always be given a course of training for
distant running. Whenever a difficulty
in breathing is felt, the athlete should
walk until his powers of respiration have
recovered. He should never sit or stand
around uncovered, but as soon as his
work is done, cover up warmly until an
opportunity to be rubbed down is given
him, and then dry, warm clothes should
follow.
While running, the athlete should stop
just as soon as he feels a pain in his side
or the front part of his lower lee be
comes sore.
The diet should be simple, sleep abun
dant. Omit tobacco, all alcoholic liquors
tea, coffee, pickles, pastry, dumplings
and the like.
The time to start to prepare for the
run is now. Do not wait, but pitch in
and get the winter's stiffness out of the
muscles.
Further advice will be-given from time
to time within the next few weeks.

rial of Mrs. Harry Samp-
son Begins at Lyons, N.Y.
VICTIM WAS ADMIRAL'S NEPHEW
Young Widow Is Accused of Hav
ing Shot Her Husband Dead
After a Quarrel at
Their Home.
Lyons, N. Y., April 5. With the exe
cution of Mrs. Mary Farmer last Mon
day fresh In the mind of, every one,
the ease of 'Mrs. Georgia 13. Sampson,
necused of shooting to death her bus-
tnd, Harry Sampson, on Nov. 1, 1008,
was called for trial today.
It is expected that the procuring of
Jury to hcor the evidence for nnd
gainst tho young woman will con-
sumo much time. Almost every one In
Wayne county Is acquainted with ei
ther the Sampson family or with tho
Allyn family, to which Mrs. Sampson
elongs by birth. Thff prominence of
the two families Harry Sampson's un
cle was the late Rear Admiral William
T. Sampson, who commanded the llect
nt Santiago, while the Allyns are
mong the wealthy folks of this part
of tho state has made the alleged mur
der the principal topic of conversation
around the hearths of the county nil
through the winter. It will be dlffl-
cult to find twelve men willing to
swear that they' have formed no opin
ion as to the guilt or Innocence of the
accused woman. District Attorney
Gilbert Is Mrs. Sampson's cousin.
Intense interest In the case extends
beyond the limits of the county. The
papers of Rochester, which lies In
Monroe, the next county to the west,
have made special arrangements to
cover the trial. The courtroom eon-
tains a large number of press repre
sentatives from Rochester, Buffalo and
other cities. ,
In the courtroom today Mrs. Samp
son preserved the same nonchalant de
meanor that has marked her since her
rrest. She has declared that her lnw-
rers will prove that Harry Sampson
committed suicide after a quarrel with
her, despite the damaging testimony
that will ho adduced against her. Jus
tice Adelhert P. Rich of Auburn pre-
ides at the trial.
The shooting of Harry Sampson oc
curred at Macedon, a village about
eighteen miles west of here. Ho was
twenty-seven years old nnd had been
married to Georgia Allyn six years.
She Is now only twenty-three. The
young couple lived In a house occu
pied partly by the family sf tho -wife's
parents. Prohahly It would bo more
correct to say that tho Sampsons lived
with tho Allyns. The shooting took
place In tho Allyns' dining room, nnd
the young man died In a living room
used by the two families.
The young couple were happy for
several years nfter their marriage.
Then, according to the stories told
against the wife, she commenced to
pay mysterious visits to Rochester nnd
was seen In the gay resorts of that
place. The fatal quarrel with her hus
band followed the receipt by him of
letter addressed to "Miss Allyn."
She declares that ho killed himself In
a lit of jealousy, but her lawyers will
have to explain away several strange
circumstances. Mrs. Allyn, Georgia's
mother, will testify that when her son-
in-law fell at her feet, with blood flow
ing from a mortal wound In the breast
Indicted by his own rifle, his right
hand held a bit of bread and cheese.
After the shooting the rifle was found
standing In n corner of the room which
saw the tragedy, and medical men will
declare on the witness stand that the
bullet which killed young Sampson
ranged downward, as though fired
from the stairs down which his wife
ran after the report was heard. There
were no powder marks on his clothln
Georgia Sampson was indicted on
Feb. 8, the grand jury charging hoi
with murder In the first degree. On
the following day George Sampson,
father of tho mnn whom pho Is ac
cused of killing, died suddenly of
Bright's disease. It Is asserted that
grief over tho shooting hnstened his
death.
RAILROAD LOSES COAL LANDS

New York, April 5. General Wil

whose eightieth birthday Is to be cele

urday, has replied to the scores of con
gratulatory cablegramsrjpecelved from
state governors, mayors of leading
American cities and other men of
prominence with a message to the
American people, as follows:
"After spending eighty years In this
world, with almost countless opportu
nities for observing the purposes, for
which men generally live nnd the dis
appointments they so commonly suffer,
It seems reasonable that I should have
formed some opinion ns to the course
they ought to follow If they nre to
have any renl success.
"So on this my eightieth birthday I
tell the Amerlcnn'people this: If they
will seek the honor of God, the reign
of righteousness, the welfare of the
friendless poor and tho riches that en
dure forever with the same self sacri
ficing avidity with which they seek
the wealth nnd pleasures of this world
they will have a good chance of find
ing that life of satisfaction which now
so often eludes them nnd of building
up u pattern nation for the world to
Imitate."
