Once Famous Dutch Painter; Who Refused to Sell Painting; is Dead in Obscure Garret
LONDON, Sept. 17.( Correspondence of The Associated Press). A genius who might have amassed a fortune died in comparative poverty and obscurity in London yesterday because he was too proud to give the world work which did not attain to his
ideals. Few people, even among those
in the art world, remembered that Matthew Maris, the once famous Dutch painter, was still living, and home, until the announcement of his death at the age of 78 appeared In a morning paper today. Matthew, the last of the family of three gifted brothers, was one of the geniuses who approach to madness. His smallest picture was worth from $10,000 to $25,000 in the auction rooms but one rarely saw the light. He painted only when he felt moved to paint, and he felt moved very seldom. Of late years he absolutely refused to sell his work. Some of those wh6 knew hm say that he was a great idealist, but others with a more common-place point of view declare that he was merely lazy. Lived Like Hermit Maris lived almost the life of a hermit, and was supported by the generosity of a few friends. His studio was barred to everybody, sealed against the world as religiously as the hall of a Yale senior society. What

DRUGGISTS' MEETING
CLEVELAND, Sept 17 Delegates from nearly every state In the union are here today to attend the nineteenth annual convention of the National Retail Druggists' Association, which opens tonight and continues the entire week.
the old painter did there no one knows, but it is believed that he painted pictures the least of which the greatest galleries of the world would covet and then burned them because they did not realize his visions. Art dealers who approached him with checks and flattery were driven away. He told them his pictures were not worth selling, and he did not propose to impose on the public, which followed the fashion like sheep, and would buy anything with a name. For the same reason he would not sign a picture, holding that every work of art should stand on Its own merits regardless of the author's name. The work he did was not turned out quickly. He once remarked that he had started a portrait of two babies years ago, that the babies were now grandparents and he was still working on the picture. His chief vexation was the income tax collector, who would not believe that an artist who was one of the highest sellers was without money.
ODD FELLOWS TO GIVE BENEFITS
LOUISVILLE, ICy, SepL 17. Nearly 10,000 Odd Fellows from all parts of the United States and Canada were in Louisville today for the opening of the ninety-third session of the Sovereign grand lodge of their order.

Among the matters to come before this session of the sovereign grand lodge are several proposals for legislation In connection with the war, which Grandsire Goudy has announced he will put forward.
