Sued for $10,000 Damages Jury Came in at' 11 Yesterday Morn-i ing Out all Night, i The jury m (lie,, case of Frank Allen against tlur Richmond Casket Company, 'for ..-$10,000, damages, for injuries while" in;;? their 'employ, return rtl a verdict in favor of the plaintiff yesterday .morning, at 11 o'clock, after being out since fi o'clock the evening before. Allen was awarded $1,000. A few members of the jury, it is understood, held out for the defense for a short time, but the greater part of the time the jury was out was spent in deciding the amount of damages to be awarded to the plaintilT. - The case has occupied the attention of the circuit court for the past eight days and was stubbornly contested on both sides. The attorneys for the defense were J. L. Rupe and J. S. Reeves. The plaintiff was represented by T. J, Study and B. C. Robbins. Allen was injured early last fall. He had been employed to run a band saw, but was put to work on a "frizzer," which was a very dangerous machine, ami which Allen was unskilled at working. While manipulating this machine a board flew back, striking Allen in the groin, paralyzing him on his left side. He is now obliged to walk about on a crutch, his left leg being useless.

Mr. Carnegie is groins: to write the history of his life. The book will have a large circulation if he places a copy of it in each of his libraries.

i - "ARLSTUDY MID Prof. . W. S. tfiser of schools, has a very interesting article in the January number of the Educator Journal, published at Indianapolis. The Educator Journal is the official organ of the state schools and is a combination of the Inland Journal and the Indiana School Journal, well known educational publications. Mr. IJisers suoject is "The Relation Between Art Study and Manual Training," and it will no doubt be of special interest to the local teachers. The article is as follows: At the international congress for the teaching of drawing held at Berne last summer, exhibits were made of public school drawing from different countries. Our cousins across the eea, after they had examined the work of the American sehools expressed the judgment that what our art system needs is the better teaching of drawing. It must be apparent to any unbiased mind that the first obligation of the art department of any public school is to supply mechanical drawings, design drawiugs, and decorative drawings for models or articles to be made in the manual training laboratory, and in the school rooms of every grade. To do otherwise is a breach of correlation and a flagrant violation of sound pedagogy. Further, the drawing or art department, in supplying these crying needs, will eliminate any of its impractical theories and come in touch with the needs of everyday life. It will tend to cure a general ailment, that is not local, affecting our public ' school art work. Some symptoms of this ailment are here presented. It is equally "obligatory upon the manual training department to make some concession to the other department. It is always willing. But it is my observation that the elder child (drawing) is jealous of her sturdy and popular brother (manual training). She is inclined to isolate herself. The arguments for the first introduction of drawing were (hat it was valuable in producing skilled hands, quick and sure judgment of the eye. Tt was argued that it woulld be useful in any one of a hundred different arts and trades in which the learner might find himself. But the.lesons that once were devoted to model and object drawing, are now devoted to copying pictures, composition and picture making, given to the pupil when he is unable to represent accurately a simple model in manual training. Further, he is unable to read the" simple mechanical drawings put into his hands to be used. in making manual training. articles or models. Too much effort is made and time spent in attempting to teach the pupil subtleties of color and space 'arrangement that he can not appreciate. There is no demand in his nature that they should be presented to him at every age in all the grades. There is no present demand for this almost exclusive kind of art work in. his other school subjects. The child must now work with the brush and all inclination toward outline (almost mechanical) drawing must be stamped oit as vice. He must work in mass. "Mass drawing' involves two things closely allied to each other: (1) jsketehiness, a t ouc.h-and-go-manner distinguished from the tracing of contours; and the representation of the third dimension model surfaces light and shade. These characteristics are not dominant, and should not be unconditionally encouraged. We hear it said todav that mass comes before outline.' If that means that modeling comes before drawing, that it comes more naturally to the beginner, we agree. It is a more direct process to represent form by actual form than by lines and tints and shades. It is direct copying in the one case and in the other case translation from the terms of three djmensions. This is explained by the difficulty of representation upon a flat surface. This balked the continued efforts of man for thousands of years. Nor did any artist succeed in grappling with the third dimension in painting till late in Greek times. Upon the fall of the ancient world the new acquirement was lost again for $1,500 years. The whole primitive, ar-.lecl and medieval world knew nothing of "mass" drawing. Outline filled in with flat bright color was the full extent of their scope. : . Drawing is always to some extent abstract. For this reason sculpture outruns painting in the earlier stage of art history. It reaches a high stage of development, while" the painting yet remains crude. This is true of Egyptian art; also of Greek art. "The study of appearances and' the

MANUAL TRAIlilllB"

(By Prof. W. S. Hiser.) W the city .effort to ; render them, come late in

the history of art, says Hamerton. "The complete knowledge of appearance is the sign of a very late state of civilization, implying most advanced artistic culture, both in the artist and "the public to whom headdresses himself. " We can not expect the pupil to do what the artist eould not do half a century ago namely, distinquish his visual from his tactual perceptions. We must be content to let him lag a little behind the artists of the time and begin somewhat farther back, learning how to represent the shape of thigs (mechanical drawings) and not worrying overmuch about their appearance (design and decorative drawing.) v , -. ..,. ., , That the teaching of . what goes to make for; beauty iin color and; design is a good! thing, no one will deny,; but because it is a good thing i no rea son that it should constitute the drawing course to the exclusion- of the immediate practical needs of the pupil in his manual training work in paper and string goods, wood and iron. If we attempt to force the student to render appearances, effects, textures and qualities, before he has got a good grasp of structure, his natural growth is arrested. He is lost in the complexities of seeming and has no clue to the mysteries, of form. His work is blotchy and vain. This is the error that has crept into the schools. The individual student must ieeapitulate the art history of the race. He comes iinto this technical tradition of the past, but he must make it his own in a definite order and se quence, it seems, to me. In supply ing the mechanical drawings, artistic design drawing cind the decorative drawings demanded .by the.neels in manual training schools, the art history of the race will be recapitulated in sequence indirectly (the most ef fective way)" naturally and easily. The three kinds of drawing demanded in manual training are properly correlated as to the amount ami quality of each. Mechanical and design drawing will predominate here, as they do in all' the products made by man. Pupils enjoy these kind of drawings now because ihey .will use them in making something. It was dry when it was drawing geometric forms and solids from the ox of drawing models that were formely put in schols with drawing courses. In an art course where the drawing is made simply for drawing sak'-?, these two most important kinds of, drawing are woefully neglected. ' The young pupil can make a thing more easily than he can draw it. This is the case with many adults. For this reason much of the eaily art work in the school should come to the pupil in concrete form by his making things in which the art he is to experience is involved. Drawing supervisors and manual training supervisors must plan their work together that each line of work works directly for the other. The needs of one must be directly and promptly supplied by the other. Whether a drawing will come out right, whether a design is fit for the kind of material to be used; wheth er tne artistic or simple decoration suits the kind of model and its size can be known only by working it out in material, not simply making the drawing on white paper. Manual training sewing, cooking, wood work furnishes this golden oppor tunity. m ""-r! The teaching of drawing in many schools stands in the need of a sharp revision. The hazy ideals of many art teachers need recasting in simple and concrete form. Our instructors come to their work affected by the atmosphere of the studio. They have often studied with those who have talked little of children and their teachings but much, of pictures and picture making. " CASES SET FOR TRIAL. The following cases have been set for trial in the circuit court : Melle vs. the estate of Melle, February 3; Welker vs. the P. C. C. & St. L. Railway Company, February 6. SEVERELY INJURED. Mrs. Patrick Kinsella, North Seventeenth street, sustained severe injuries occasioned bv a fall Wednesdav. Besides being considerably ' bruised, she sustained a fracture of her left arm. Mr. Longworth, the fiance of Miss Roosevelt, seems to be one of the members of that Congressional Committee, who .did some good for himself on the junket to Asia. -

OUR NEW STORY v; DATE OF TRIAL SET RED MEN LOTTERY, CASE FEB RUARY 12. T To Be Decided Whether Russell Gay Can Retain Carnival Horse . And Buggy. Two years ago when the Red Men 'old their street carnival in this city a lottery was held. The man holding the lucky ticket v.-as to have a horse and buggy valued at $300. The time for ihe drawing came and the number of the winning ticket was announced. Under the rules of the lottery if the man holding the winning ticket did not claim his prize within two weeks of the drawing it was to pass to the hand-? of the man holding the second winning ticket. The two weeks elapsed and no one made a claim and the second two weeks Were rapidly slipping away when Russell Gay put in 'an appearance with the winning ticket and demanded the horse and buggy, which treasurer Genn . of the Hokendauqua tribe of Red Meri, had turned over to the sheriff. Gay replevined the prize, gave bbmUfor $600 and returned to his home in Ohio. The. holder of the second winning tieket never turned up but still the Red Men did not feel that Gay should have the prize and it was agreed to have a suit brought by C. W. Genn et al., against Russell (Jay, et al. This 'ease has dragged through the court for two years but at last a, date for trial has been set February 12 and it is expected that it will prove of great interest.
