(Continued from Page One) fines and bluejackets was formed today for the policing of the streets while the foreign fleet in the Golden Horn will keep the city under its guns, ready for any emergency. The powers fear outrages by the Turkish rabble fully as keenly, if not more so, than they do the result of an invasion by a foreign foe. There is an army of hungry, ill clad, disease stricken sildiers at the gates of the city between the Chatalja lines and the city proper and should it be allowed to enter there Is grave danger of it.

WHISTLER AT WORK.

The Eccentric Artist Had a Method That Wa All His Own. tfn "Memories of .1 nines McNeill Whistler." by Thomas R. Way. this author allows us a glance at the artist's methods during bis residence at the white ' house in Tite street, built from the designs of bis friend, E. W. Godwin, the architect: "The studio was surprisingly differ ent from the room be previously used iu Lindsay row, and entirely unlike the studios usually occupied by other artists. I remember a long, not very lofty room, very light, with windows along one side; bis canvas beside bis model at one end and at the other, near the table which he used as a paiette. an old Georgian looking gluss, so arranged that he could readily see his canvas and model reflected iu it. Those who used such a mirror (as be did constantly) will know that it is the most merciless of critics. "I marveled then at his extraordinary activity, as he darted backward and forward to look at both painting and model from his point of view at the extreme end of the long studio. He always used brushes of large size with very long bandies, three feet in length, and held them from the end with his arm stretched to Its full extent Each touch was laid on with great firmness, and bis physical strength enabled hiru to do without tbe assistance of a maulstick, while the distance at which be stood from tbe canvas allowed him to have the whole of a large picture in sight and so Judge the correct drawing of each touch."

BATTLEFIELD BRAVERY. An Instance of Cool Courage In Face of Imminent Danger. Perhaps few stories of battles so thoroughly illustrate cool bravery in the face of real danger as' the little incident at a reconnolssance before the battle of Ulundi. of which Lord William Beresford vas the hero. The British were almost led into a terrible trap and discovered the danger only just in tlre. They turned to retreat, and the Zulus poured in a volley which brought down the gray horse of a mounted infantryman. His rider fell headforemost. The rest thought both uuan and horse were killed at first, but the former soon struggled to his feet, with his face covered with blood and dazt'd with his full. Lord William Beresford. seeing what bad happened, pulled up aud. in the face of advancing hosts of yelling .savages within easy range, quietly trotted back and told the man to mount behind him. With a cool courage scarcely second to Lord William's, tbe man refused, noble fellow that he was. preferring the certain sacrifice of bis own life to tbe probability of destroying his preserver. The reply was admirable, terse and telling. The savages swarmed closer and closer: bullets rattled around lliem. The two who lingered were almost within reach of the assagais, and Lord William said: "Get up or I'll punch your head!" Tbe man obeyed, and rescuer and rescued escaped. Pearson's Weekly.

Why Blackie Wore the Plaid. Professor Blackie frequently stayed at Dr. Donald Macleod's bouse iu Glas gow. One night, said the doctor, we were sitting up together. Blackie said In his brusque way. "Whatever other faults I have, 1 am free from vanity." An lucredulous smile on my face rotis ed him. "You don't believe that. Give me an instance." Being thus chatleng ed, 1 said. "Why do you walk about flour '.suing a plaid continually?" "I'll give yon the history of that. sir. When I was a poor man and when my wife and I had our difficulties she one day drew my attention to the threadbare character of my surtout and asked me to order a new one. I told her 1 could not afford it Just then, wheu she went, like a noble woman, and put her own plaid shawl on my shoulders, and I have worn a plaid ever since in memory of her loving deed."

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. An honorable mention was honorably bestowed in the current exhibition of Indiana artists in the public art galleries. To M. C. Nordyke, of this city, for a small winter landscape. Mr. Nordyke is one of the oldest painters of the town. And, with other of the local artists, long ago founded the Richmond Art Club, which was, later, merged into

the Richmond Art Association. While painting after the manner of the old school rather than following new artistic gods which gods prove sometimes will o the wisps leading their chasers a merry dance through many an artistic bog Mr. Nordyke still invests his pictures with modernity. And "pictures" is used advisedly. For always this artist paints a. picture. Its pictorial quality is invariably undoubted. The small canvas which secured the honorable award was a case in instance, for it was a charming little bit of winter cornfield, radiating the spirit of winter, yet possessing warmth of tone and feeling. Mr. Nordyke is not particularly interested in the faddisms of the ultramoderns. "I want to see a picture express something," Mr. Nordyke said to the writer going on to Intimate that mere virtuosity in paint meant nothing to him in illustrating the reason for being of the art of painting. The art of the Futurists does not appeal to this painter, although he sees in it a certain beauty. But its results are more or les3 chaotic. Wayman Adams, the young Indianapolis painter whose portraits of Meredith Nicholson, James Whitcomb Riley, Booth Tarkington and other celebrities have recently attracted much attention and who was returned to Indianapolis after a residence abroad, is represented in this exhibition by a group of sketches made while in Spain with Robert Henri. Adams confesses himself something of an ultra-modern. He. reproduces from memory, as is the manner of the Futurists, and his work bears the ear-marks of the schools. Adams's chjefest claim to consideration, or at least to that of some of his public, is his occult feeling for color. In all the sketches seen here this will be observed. In "Street Musician, Madrid," there is a spot of blue that vibrates. And the cloak of La Linda Signorita, in its lucious opalescence looks good enough to eat. On the other hand, Adams can inject a lot of action into his subject as shown by his "Bull Fight" taken at first hand from impressions of the scene itself. This is a virile transcript. Full of life and vicious movement and warm and rich in color. Adams undoubtedly has a certain brilliant talent. But 'ware the faddists! This artist is young and feeling his way and if he does not permit manner and methods to lead him into blind alleys he bids fair to become known as one of the leading painters of Indiana. His product shown here is interesting. But will be apt to be passed up by the average haunter of exhibitions if anybody could be said to haunt art exhibitions hereabouts any more as something not understood. It should be remembered that these are sketches, not completed pictures, and that they have an enormous amount of exposition and suggestion crowded into a small space. But they are, with the pictures of Olive Rush, the most interesting and significant shown at the current exhibition. Although, as stated before, the exhibition, as a whole, is feeble and futile so far as it is indicative of the accomplishment of the resident painters of the state. One artist, however, seems to have escaped the pitfalls into which so many of the resident artists have fallen through their attempted virtuosities. This is Morgan Lynn, unknown to the writer, who, in his picture, "A Sunny September Morning," shows individuality. He has gone after his subject in the manner of the Indianapolis school but he has eaptured something that looms larger than it is presented. He paints broadly and with a dashing use of his medium but he has achieved something. He has made you feel the September morning. Its tang, its promise and its reminiscent charm. And its glory of color. It is, perhaps, this latter quality that

holds the attention. It is occult, this

color sense, and hypnotic to those the other side the footlights. Color is the greatest thing in nature, if you stop to. think of it. Watch a sunset fade away and view its ashes. Look at a beautiful woman "a few

years older" when her color is gone, her contours merged and her hair has lost its glory. It's the saddest thing in life. ! This elusiveness of color, j Because it is symbolical of the illuBiveness of existence. And still color is not greater than form. Form is the basis of all art it must be so. But, without color and not necessarily color as it is usually undertook form loses Its fascination. Or does not possess it.

Color is palpitating life. Form alone the beauty of Death. Good color is seen in two canvass

es by Paul Plaschke both winter scenes but full of expressive charm, i Both are transcripts of the evening. One, harmoniously composed, full of tenderness and a certain melancholy, inseparable ajways from the evening. The other, "Winter Nocturne," frankly imitative of Whistler. I But with originality.

Its color, while subdued, is still intense and vivid. And its sentiment appealing. Mr. Plaschke, in short, by refusing

i to flounder in the bog of Indiana im

pressionism, has evolved a manner, which is, at least, distinct. For this he should be congratulated. From the muck of paint in which

most of our native exhibitions wallow, he stands forth defined and clearly ! outlined.

In one of the poorest played games ever seen upon the local field, Earlham got away .with the large end of a 25 to 22 score against Antioch last Saturday. The game was loosely play- . ed from the start, Earlham gaining al

most at will on line bucks and end ; runs, and Antioch gaining occasionally by a long forward pass. Earlham stuck to old-time football. ! Darnell made a very good showing j throughout the game. Bogue and Guyer I carried the ball yard after yard

through the center of the line. The Quakers' defense for a forward pass seemed lamentably weak, the Ohioans making several long passes, and nearly all of them resulted in touchdowns. The Earlham offense was weakened in the first few minutes of play when Vickery was forced to leave the game with a badly wrenched knee. The game was marred by many penalties and was uninteresting from the side lines. A few sensational plays were made by Earlham. including a touchdown on the kickoff by Brownell and the return of punts by Wiess of Antioch.

The Struggles of a Sculptor. Auguste Rodin, the French sculptor, had a great struggle with poverty and adverse criticism in bis youth. Of

an eposide of this early period a writer says: "With that inflexible will and singleness of purr? that never failed him throughout his career the young sculptor set himself to exyress in clay, marble or bronze his conception of life and art. ne used his leisure in work Ins at nighttime in a deserted stable he had transformed into a studio at j his wonderful mask of The Man With I the Broken Nose. After eighteen ! months of hard and patient labor he ; finished this mask and sent It to the isninn it tonk the hamrinir committee

fourteen years to discover any merit in the work, for it was rejected in nd finally accepted only in ISTS."

EARLHAM NOTES

WASHING RIBBONS.

How to Make Them Look New and Freeh. Ribbons which are not really dirty, but just crumpled or out of condition, may be freshened by being rubbed on both sides with a soft muslin to free them from dust, then pressed with a hot Iron under a piece of flue wet muslin. If dirty they may be steeped first for a few minutes in cold salted water (to set the colors), then put into warm soapy water, moved about in it and drawn through the hand without crumpling until quite clean, then rinsed in nearly cold water. Gum arable solution may be put into the last rinsing water to give back to the ribbon its former slight stiffness. Squeezing is not allowable, so a towel must be used, the ribbon being spread out smoothly and rolled up in it For silks of delicate coloring the old fashioned method of washing in potato water Is recommended, two or three large potatoes being grated into a pint of tepid water, left to steep awhile and tbe water strained or poured off clear. This may be used either for washing or sponging, tbe ribbon in the latter case being laid out on a table, sponged well on both sides, dipped in clear water and, if of one color, hung up to drip and dry. Soapy water may be used in the same way. or for ribbons which are not really dirty sponging with gum arable solution will be a good means of revival. In any case the after process of Ironing should be done over a covering of fine muslin or tissue paper, the bare Iron being used for finishing off when the ribbon is quite dry. If not required for use at once it should be rolled around a canister or cardboard cylinder or anything which will prevent It being pressed Into hard folds.

How to Make Scrap Book From Magazine Clippings. Children of all ages may be greatly amused and entertained and many dull hours passed by means of a well arranged scrap book. Some members of almost every family subscribe for at least one magazine and newspaper, and well selected clippings from these should fill the scrap books. If you lack material ask your friends and acquaintances for all the old magazines that they do not care to keep any longer. Old magazines are Just as good as new ones for this purpose. Many magazines and newspapers now have pages devoted exclusively to children. Cut out all the pictures, funny rimes and fairy tales that you think would please a child. Also arrange them in the scrap books as nearly as possible to suit different ages, so that you may turn quickly to material suitable for any occasion. In this way older chil-d--n may quickly find material that thev can read to the little tots. Have the books medium sized, not too bulky for children to handle easily. If you do not wish to buy a book for the purpose you may use any strong book that is the right size by first tearing out every other leaf, so as to give room for the Insertion of the clippings and avoid unnecessary bulging out of the book. . These homemade scrap books may be made attractive by putting a fancy cover on them.
