AIITIST AM) NEWSl'AI'llK. The prominent American daily news paper Is now geneially lllustnited. It Is recognized that the newspaper ns a means for telling the story of thu dnj must be aided by evciy devieo for making that story complete, anil that pictures often tell more than words. Astlic art of making swift newspaper pictures progtcsses, the Illustrations will he ,jno'rc and more In the nature Of an aide to lepoittng, and tho picture will in titno accompany the pen sketch as n matter of comc. Tho artist will bo another faithful lcpoiter. He will bo n newspaper" man. It is his tiowncss lii lccognrlng that "with tbo training of the press ho is becoming n journalist, notrf painter, that linpedi f his progress. Too many artists employed on the pi cm) still forget tluiy they arc not niak lug.somctliii'5 to-hang upon n wall, but something that will he reproduced on an ordinary printing-press In ordi nary ink, on soft paper. They forget that clear lines and'A'gcncral light effect are the first tcquisitcs. They persist In putting. in heavy shading. They pro duce something that looks well on cdrd hoard, and does not look well in a news paper. ,$ood rule for n newspaper nrtisl to consider Is thai he should bear In mud the effect of tho pago 'lather than of the'plcture. The picture milst be In Jlghjiness In keeping with the time df the page. It would, perhaps, be a good tesfto place the'nowspapcr at a distance of say thirty or forty feet and if at Hint distance tlio picture stand out distinctly U) consider It too dark. An editor does not want his pago blotched up with black siKJts. Ho wants the, picture which assists In telling a story about us llgh't as the lest of the stoiy. This wodld not he the manner In which n sketch hhould be drawn for au nit exhi bition. A featuie of art must bo saetK Heed for newspaper necessities. An illustration of what Is hero referred to was afforded in Tiir Citmo of yester day. There appeared upon the first pago of this newspaper two portraits, one that of tho lato Justlco Matthews, the other that of n young lady. The portrait of the young lady was carefully drawn and made dark, that pf tho Into Chief Justlco was in lighter style, Tho Tcsult, when the newspaper press hud clone its work, was that tlio hurried plctuio of tho man did more Justlco to Its subject.

Thipugh a half-open door In the Hotel Aruo tho murmur ot a low, musical voice floated Into the hallway. The door opened Into nu elegant apartment decorated with rich drapery' ami bijouterie that gave tho place an nlr or voluptuous refinement. Seated on n soft Turkish rug of luxurious squushlness a wraith figure sits; the faco of exquisite sweetness, yet with an uncanny brilliancy about tbo eyes, Is lit up by tho the fitful glow of the flruljght. Upon the llttlo hand rests a head whoso gold-on-rucshed tresses full a glittering shower ovor sculpturesque arm, and In tho other Is a dainty circular box with grooves of scru pulous exactness, through which brilliant colrod globules wheel otul clrcla In be wildering mazlncss, "My God," says tho fair girl with a smothered sob "I caunot do It I can not I" Bhc gives the dainty circular box a swift whirl, gazes at It with a look of Intense, determination, and drawing herself up to tho htlght of her scornful stature casts It from her Into the flro as If It wcro a thing too low for her superb contempt, Koran lustaut her faco rests Iu her bands, then with trembling steps she propels her slender flguro over to tbo nearest table, sits down and writes another novel.

Dcsplto tho accidental circumstance ot bis hclii tho father-in-law of tho President, bo still keeps steadily at work at his desk in tho Pension Ofllee, nnd although his daughters and (ho President himself havo tried to make him bellove that thero Is now no longer any necessity for his continuing to woik, ho cannot be induced to surrender his position. Shortly nflcr tho election Mrs. Harrison wroto to her father, asking htm to resign, and saying that ns soon ns they came to Washington sho would oxpect him to live nt the White House. This letter was nc. companlcd by n note from tho President who mado the sstno request that Mrs. Har rison bud, and tho President's note wns written In such n Cordial and friendly strain that there was no doubt ns to Its sincerity. Hut tho obi gentleman wroto to his daughter, saying that whllo ho should bo very gild to be n frcquont visitor at tho Whlto llouo, and perhaps spcmH some part of bis time thero, be could hot llilnk of passing tho rest of his days In Idleness; that becnuso his son In-law had been elected President of tbo United States mado no dlffercnco In his own position, nnd that while he fully appreciated their kindness, ho could not for ono moment think ot tendering bis resignation. So every day old Dr. Hcott reaches his desk In the Pension Onlco nt tl o'ctock, nnd works as faithfully nnd conscientiously as nny other clerk In the llurcnu, nnd I am told by his fellow-clerks nnd tbo peoplo who havo been associated with him for many y eats, that bis demeanor has not changed In tho slightest slnco tho events of last November mado him an Important pcrAmago Iu the history of his country. I doubt If you w 111 find another Instance of this kind on record. There Is a Congressman in tow n w ho Is very mml. Perhaps it's hardly to bo Wondered at. A short tlnio boforo Congress ad journed, one of his constituents nSkcd him It he would bo kind enough, to rend him tlio Ofllclul Itcglstcr, which, as most peoplo know just nt this time, is n work Very much In demand, and contains tho -naino nnd salailes of every position under, the novom ment. The book was promptly sent. A week or so ago, ho received a long letter from this constituent containing a list of tbo prominent and well-paid places outsido of tlio civil service, lie started tho list with the consul-generalship at London, perhaps tho best paid position Iu tho Gov ernment, and tapered down to tho head of a bureau. He confessed that ho would rather llko to go abroad for tho next few years, but that, ns ho wasn't particular, bo would not refuse any of tho offices on his list, and ho requested blslteprcsenti'lviant dim one at, his earliest convenience. Now this kiono would not havo been so bad, but this man evidently allowed a few ot his hit i ninto friends to look nt tho Itcglstcr, who Also mnde up tholr little lUts, and tho con sequence Is that ItcpreBcntative Iilank has been bothered with moro requests for places from that llttlo comer of his district than from nil the rest ot tho Stuto put together. Itcprcsentatlro Jfnrston of Kansas said to a Ciiitio reporter that thero was very llttlo truth In the story published ,tliat ho had had a difficulty with the I'ostmajtor-Oei cral, and that be (Furston) had callod on tbo President about tbo matter. "Tho facts In tho case," said Mr. Furst n, "are these: I called at tho l'ojtofllco Depart ment to see Postmaster-General Waha makor about a Presidential postoflho. General Wanamaker requested ma to give him all tho papers In tho casor I thereupon withdrew tho application and uaxl day brought all tho papers In the caso (o tho Department as requested. There was not au unpleasant won! passed between ths rostmastcr-Oencralnnd myself, and Inover thought ot calling on the President In rotor ence to the matter." I was hi a club-room last night, says Frank llrooks, writing f rom' IVashljigton to tho Chicago Times, and amoni those present wero tho managing editor and ono of his stall of ouo ot tho dally papers of this city. In tho conversation tho' member of tbo staff became witty and entertaining. The managing editor, toots him to, one sldo and said: "See here,-If you havo any of this sort of stuff In-you'savo It for tho'papcr. I don't want you to be funuy for others and stupid In the' paper. Damn' It all, humor Is a scarce article and. oughtn't to bo given awoy.i We aro going to bo hard up-tomorrow anyhow. Save yourself and help-1 out the sheet." , Some one-1 who I do not rcmombor Just now, onco remarked that no great man Is ever great to his valet. For tbo eamo reason I supposo tbo doorkeepers and pages nnd other 'employes of the Senate haven't so high 'an ' appreciation of the Ifouso ot Lords as the Senators havo ot thcmsclvci. Thero Is ono man, however, who commands all the visible signs of rcspectt no matter what his subordinates InayM'nk privately, Whcnevcra Senator comes to any of tho doors leading jnta tho Senate Chamber, ho has to do likii any other ordinary mortal who wants' to enter a room, that Is, open tho door for himself. Tho oxceptlon to this rule Is Senator IM niuuds. No matter at what door he outers, as soon as a doorkeeper spies the tall form, tho gray beard and tho black skull cap of tbo Vermont man, beading his way, up ho gets, llko a sentry on duty, and holds tho door open until tho Senator has passed through. Sir. Edmunds invariably ac knowledges this courtesy by'a slight Incli nation of bis head, and It Is really worth noting, ns showing how InUch Mr. lu minals outranks his eolloagues, that to no ouo else Is this attention shown. Ono would think that thero wero tarlft speeches enough delivered In Congress last session and tariff lltiraturo enough sent all over tho country during tho campaign, to say nothing ot tho articles on trco tiudo nnd protection which wcro written lu every paper iu tbo laud, from the time ex-Prcst-dent Cleveland sent bis famous message to Congress until after tho votes wero counto 1, to have satisfied every ouo who was anx ious to know tho relative merits of tho con troversy. Hut tho demand for speeches has uot yet ceased, uud I am told that scarcely a day passes but w hat somo Member re elites requcnts from his constituents for tho speeches of tho great authorities on tho subject. On tho Democratic side thoso ot Carllslo, Mills 'and Drocklurldga ot Ken. tucky are most In demand, whllo among the Itepubllcans, McKluloynnd Hurrows of Michigan are tho stars. What Is the Word? Bt.

On her part i.he novcr by tho slightest sign mani fested either emotion or feeling ot any kind. Her manner to him wns much 'that of a daughter who had considerable, respect for her father, but hardly any warmer feeling. It wns tho old story. Sho was tbo daughter ot n man who died when sho wns qulto young, nud who loft herself and hor mother to struggle along In tbo world alouo and unaldod.

Her future husband, thou many yeais hor senior, was at that tlmo stationed at tho post, and after the girl had been thero a year or two, ho fell madly In love with her and wanted to nuke her his wife.
