A new school of art has been disrov
erril. ho far as known, this city ha* it*
wile professor, ami ho is as odd as his
art. But this is the source whence conic
the thrilling pictures which the Isggur,
maimed, hult or blind, displays when
he mournfully relates just how be was
injured and strives to impress upon the
charitable bow deserving lie is of aid.
In one of the shabbiest streets of the
city, away down in a basement, a flick
cring gas flame lights the studio of this
queer genius. It is a place of business
such as would appall the well dressed
banker, but it is no exaggeration to say
that its occupant has an Income which
many more pretentious puinb rs would
rejoice to receive.
Technique and pcrsjiective meet with
small consideration at. the hands of this
king of the beggars, for such lie seems
to Is*. To watch ingress and egress of
his patrons would give a stranger the
Impression that some philanthropist had
established u charity hospital in the
basement.
When the wrib r paid a visit to Ibis
unique s'ndio the other day, the artist j

of an old conch con i ■: v.ith a m;. i l
which in days gone by had pc !y j
been vi ry pretty chintz. Nowit ; t
t borough ly disguised by the accumu
lation of dirt. A real rag carpet covei •
ed the fl<>or, but not a single picture
was hung upon the walls, although
standiug about the room were several
pictures in various stages of progress,
l'crmissiou was asked to examine them,
and they were well worth seeing.
One was a lurid representation of a
powder explosion. Ho realistic wa* the
picture that if you cared to place your
linger on what were alleged to lie burn
ing grains of powder you eould feel that
the grains were there, though the artist
denied that that was the intention. He
said the painting was intended for a
patron of his with two wooden legs,
substitutes for the puir that a powder
explosion robbed him of. The object of
the painting wa* to *how the charitable
stranger just how it happened, and the
artist suid that in his mind there was
no doubt that bis legless patron would
greatly benefit by the scene thus placed
on canvas.
There was another picture, which rep
resented tlie blowing up of a man-of-war.
The flames that spouted from the decks
of the unfortunate vessel were fur moro
red than the light that shines from the
chimneys of an iron mill at night. Na
ture has never succeeded in producing
anything qnite so glowing as unmiti
gated red paint, und there was no lack
of it in this picture. The persons who
were sailing about in the air seemed to
have suffered frightful injuries, and the
artist said that this was purely to in
voko sympathy for his customer, who
was supposed to lie one of the actors in
the scene so graphically portrayed.
The price of such paintings varies
from $3 to $12. The artist can complete
one in ubout 1 1-2 hours, if he docs not
hurry. If it is a rush order, the work
can bo concluded within an hour,
ujuu^u in uuu cunu mu prim i» uit icaw
ed somewhat. When asked if he made
much money by tliis sort of work, the
artist replied that he did; tiiat lie gained
more than many painters who wero
striving to do great things are able to
secure. His patrons were generally
prompt pay—indeed the usual terms are
cash on delivery.
As for embarking in higher urt, the
urtist would havuuone of it. lie tersely
