WORK OF JDHI! A. SEAFORU

In th February number . o "Brush and Pencil, " a magazine demoted to art and artiftU, there Jred m aketeb of the life, and worke of John A. Seaford formerly of thie city, who is now one of the leading artiste of the country. The article was written by Miss Esther Griffin White of this city, and in it, she spoke of the other well known artists who form the "Richmond group," as Bundy, Girardin, Nordyke and sereral others. There are several fine cuts of scenes in Richmond some of the old houses and taverns, which were reproduced from some of Mr. Seaford's work. Miss White's article was as follows : More and more are American artists recognizing the- artistic possibilities of their own country its vared landscape, its wonderful atmosphere, its luminous skies, its rare effects of light, resulting from these in ensemble. The statement, current much of late, that Americans lead as contemporaneous , landscape painters, is no mere blatant flaunting of national spirit its substantial confirmation was in evidence, for instance, at the great exhibition of art at the St. Louis Exposition. m .These international expositions are incomparable for comparison, notwithstanding the fact that representative work from every country. id not, in each instance, to be found. t It is not only the painling; of the woods, the fields, the water,, and the skies, however, that the artists of the United States are now celebrating on canvas. It is the mise en scene of our human activities that is beginning to make its appeal the delightful paintability of certain phases of urban life and architecture filtered through the fire of the artist's imagination. Pennell has found that ihe alleged hideousness of the sky scrapers of New York offers as effective a subject for the etcher's consideration as many of the foreign scenes he has so wonderfully depicted. Colin Campbell Cooper has leaped to fame through the charm and virility of his treatment of much the same class of subject. Childe Hassam is known more widely for his New York street il n ii '. i V scenes man ior any oiner ionn nis art has taken; Albert Fleury has fixed on canvas many of the stirring inM?0na nf mAf rnnnlitnn 15f in Chi. r" ' 1 "V" cago as seen in its surging brick and stone canons. But it has remained for John A. Seaford, an Indiana artist resident in Boston, to celebrate an Indiana town by brush and pencil in a more comprehensive fashion than hasperhaps ever been done for one locality . in this country. ' " Mr. Seaford's summer home being near Richmond, he has spent much time within the past year sketching about this, one of the oldest and most historic cities in the State, known as "The Quaker City of the West," owing to its early settlement by people of this peculiar faith and to their preponderating influence in its history. Curiously enough one of the earliest artists in this section was a Quaker portrait painter, Marcus Mote, who made many excellent pictures of citizens of the early portion and middle of the last century and was the first instructor of the now well known artist, Henry Mosler, A 111 1 1 ? 1 A. wnen tne laiier was a laa.resiaem with his parents in Richmond. Mote was an eccentric character, but had a great influence in fostering an art spirit in this part of the State, which has only been accentuated by time. For here was not only the early home of Henry Mosler and one or two other artists, but of persons who have become known in other forms of endeavor, among them Robert U. Johnson, a poet of distinction and one of the editors of an Eastern magazine. Here was the home of Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's famous war governor, whose statue by Niehaus has recentSCOTT'S EMULSION ; is more than a fat food. There is no animal fat that compares with it in; nourishing and building up the wasted, emaciated body. That is why children and anaemic girls thrive, and grow fat upon it. That is why persons with consumptive tendencies gain flesh and strength enough to check the progress of the disease. f . SCOTT & DOWNE, 49 IW Street. New York.

Ij been placed in the Capitol at Washington; of Louise Vickroy Boyd an early poetic writer of national reputation, the friend of TTilliam Morris, and who entertained many of the celebrities of her day in her village home near this city; and of sundry brilliant political figures who

have helped make the Nation. Here is one of the largest and oldest libraries in the State, founded many decads ago by Robert Morrisson, a. wealthy Quaker, whose life size portrait by Mote has recently been restored to its pristine color. Here, too, was one of the chief est stations of the famed "Underground Railway," a favored one on account of the non-slave holding sentiments of the majority of its Quaker population, and a field for the historian who would acquire accurate information relative to this interesting phase of ante-bellum days. Here also, is located Earlhara Collegej one of the best known educational institutions! in the West and the most famous j Quaker college in fHe world. AH this gives color, tone, sentiment to fhe community, so it is not surprising to'-'flnd nre the residence of a group of' artists, one of whom, J. E. Bundy, is a leading Western landscapist, j whose work " is 'seen in exhibitions ati over the country, and whose studio on the outskirts of the town is visited by art lovers from all portions of the United States. Bundy is, however, but one of i a , eoterie of artists known as the "Richmond Group," several of whom are well known all through the Middle West, notably Frank Girardin ; others having a more local reputation, several of the latter devoting only odd moments not givn to business to painting, but achieving remarkable results. Richmond is also, the home of Miss Meb Culbertson, an artist who had an interesting career in Paris some years since, where she exhibited in the Salon, and made many distinguished friends. Mr. Seaford, who calls himself an Indiana artist, is, however, a native of North Carolina, and had many years' residence in Boston, where he went in 1877, and where he exhibited his first work with the Boston Art Club in 1881. . Although almost entirely self-taught, Mr. Seaford studied with Enneking, Hassam and Triscott ; his faultless draughtsmanship, however being a native talent, he accomplished results which other artists have only reached through long and severe courses of instructoon. He was awarded a gold medal in Washingtn for ornamental , design early in his artistic career, and for two years was on the staff of a Boston paper, illustrating a series of articles on "Old Boston Picturesque," doing, in addition, a variety of other work. These were marvelous reproductions of the old houses, buildings and odd corners of Boston and made a reputation for Mr. Seaford wherever the paper was read. For the past three years, however, he has been in Indiana a larger portion of the year engaged in more serious work in color, and has been exhibiting all over the country with the Book and Magazine Illustrators Society, which numbers among its members Castaigne, Guerin, Glackens, Albert Levering, John Cecil Clay and others of qual reputation, whose work is very widely known. . Mr. Seaford's exhibition recently held in the Morrisson-Reeves library . in Richmond was one of the most ! complete showings of his work yet ' i i. n cl ; seen, ueing maue up oi some, jiny picures in water color, wash, pencil pen and ink, and pastel of street j ssceues aim qutuuL ur picturesque cuijners of Richmond, whose charm of color and fine drughtsmanship canI not be adequately reproduced. His , feeling for the pictorially effective is 'evinced by his selections of subjects, many of these pictures having a foreign air "The Balconies," in instance, with its suggestion of Spain; "The Court," with its dilapidated brick and plaster walls and string of old clothes, resembling a scene from some tattered Italian town; and "The Rear of an Old Hostelry, "having a German atmosphere. This last is an exquisite piece of color, with a wonderful management of sunlight in the manipulation of the pastel,; showing Mr. Seaford's masterly use of that difficult medium. This is also shown in the only other pastel in the group,' "Old Sheds and City Building" a beautiful morning sky yellow and dappled, with the tower of the municipal structure showing mistily against it, being the compili ng motif of the compostion, and giving it its most distinctive note. The clock tower of this building dominates in many of these pictures of "Old Richmond," together with th red tile roof of the court house, a great structure of grey stone, and the

spire of an ancient church- Many of these seenes are taken from the vicinity of what is known as "Ft. Wayna Avenue," an old Indian trail leading to the ona famous fortification, "Ft. Wayne," upon tha site of wbieh now stands one of th largest titiea in Indiana and of the same name. This trail followed' ths river, Richmond being picturesquely situated on . the banks of a stream under the name of the "Whitewater," which is regarded as tributary to the Ohio, joining th latter some seventy miles southeast, this river, enclosed between high cliffs through almost the center of the town, giving an unusual effect and making the environs, with hills and high bnks and beautiful wooded slopes, a paradise for artists and one cause, perhaps, for the artistic atmosphere which has so long pervaded the town.

The same conditions, naturally, do not exist in many other places, and yet the paintable picturesqueness of this country is limitless. Hear what H. White, the well known illustrator on "Figaro" says, this artist returning to New York a few years ago after a prolongd residence in Paris. "Nowbere in Paris," says Mr. White "could I find such opportunities for sketching as are presented everywhere along the water front of lie w York." And to make good his point, he made a large number of sketches, taken at random along the edges of that great city, which were later 'reproduced.. And yet grater,, in this particular instance, bcause of the less variety of scne presented by a small inland city is the artistic achievement of John A. Seaford. ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

The Ministeri al association of Elwood, not content with their success in having Sunday shows at the theatre discontinued and informing the police de partment of their intention to stop Sunday baseball, have gone a step further and requested the funeral directors to arrange for no more funerals on that day. This idea is not taken favorably by lodge men and others who cannot well comply with a duty their laws imposes upon them if funerals are held on week days, and whhen such deaths occur ministers from ither cities will be: brought here, if those of the local association do not wish to officiate.

TWO BURIALS FOR THIS MAN

Pieee of iritroglyceria Victim Interred before Body is Found 700 feet from Accident. Parkersburg, Pa., March 12. When a quantity of nitroglycerin exploded near Wiiliamston two weeks ago, H. D. Kerr,- was driving the wagon in which it was being carried. All that could be found immediately after the explosion were a few pieces of flesh, and these were shipped to Ohio for burial, upon the supposition that they were all that was left of Kerr. Today, however, his body, lacerated, was found in a tree 700 feet from the scene of the explosion. The body apparently had been thrown through the air by the power of the glycerin and lodged in the tree. OHIO TO RETAIII GAME Resolution to Suspend Football Voted Down in Meeting Radical Changes to be Inaugurated. ' ' ' v . -i- -v. .Columbus, O., March 12. A resolution to4 suspend football for one year failed of adoption today at the conference of the deans- and presidents of the Ohio colleges. It was decided, however, to bar freshmen from playing and to limit the athletic career to three instead of four years. Pre-season work and training tables will be cut out, but professional coaches will be employed as in the past. The following universities decided to join the "Big Six," in enforcing the regulations : Cincinnti, Wooster, Dennison, Wttenberg, Heidelberg, and. Miami.

For four months or so I suffered the torments of the damned, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled. At night when, I went to bed things got worse, and had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating' pains. I did not know what it was, and resorted to a number of blood purifiers, using at times also Cuticura Soap. They told me then that I was -suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would also use Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura, Resolvent. , I used . them according to instructions, and very soon indeed I was greatly relieved. I continued until well, and now I am ready to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to any one who suffers as did your obedient servant. Mrs. Mary Metsger, Sweetwater, Okla., June 28, 1905."
