WORK OF SOME NEW ARTISTS laflaeae f tlewrtaley'e Dnwlig Demonstrated at Bafllle Gallery M4ern I It ar. ! la Black aa4 Watt. LONDON. Repl. IL-KvK-ti haa been writ ten about the late Aubrey Beardsley; hla work ha been so ften dlscnaacd that any- I tWlng MM about It must be In Home meas ure reiteration. Work mt unespeeted. ea original, aroused violent partisanship and equally violent antagonism tln Brat It appeared; and even, now, when the art let fcas been dead twelve years, the balanre of criticism baa altered little, though each I sld ha tempered Ita judgment. It la the matter rather thin tha manner . of Bearsley's work that haa been a itumb Hng block to many, or there never baa bren a dissentient voice when the workmsn ahlp of It la concerned. Every on ad mits the beauty of the long;, sweeping lines, carried to their Inevitable end with dell- , eaty and firmness, the perfect harmony ' of each design and the admirable way It fill the alloted apace, and tha wealth of Invention In all detail; all must agree that never before has black and white drawing reached such a stage of perfec tion. But the moat ardent admirers have the air of apeclal pleading- whea) they explain ' that Beardsley's design tnnat be Judged , Independently, sa they were conceived, without any view of Interpreting or even Illustrating a particular ujthor referring presumably to the pictures for Oscar Wilde's "Salome" and that It la really only the presence or absence of beauty In hla drawing and his wonderful powers of technique that need trouble bis admirers or detractors. That many of his drawings were originally suppressed and are now freely ahown and circulated la an eloquent argument for either side. Betrdsley's work la usually morbid and always cynical; he used tha grotesque to express his views of Ufa. But why apolo gue for him on that account T He bad a deep Insight and expressed them In a way that few people have the courage to do, His drawings are not for tha very young; one would no more use them to Illustrate nursery rhymes than on would bring up a child on French novels and marrona glaces. Though the fame of Aubrey Beardaley haa spread all over tha world, though his work has Influenced that of all other na tions, he will never be la the ordinary sense of the word popular. As has Just been said, his work Is morbid and cynical, two characteristics whlob do not appeal to tha general publlo, which understands horseplay better than deltcata satire and therefore, prefers It. Most people, in England, at least, are mora affected by the story that a drawing tells than the way In which It la executed. Beardsley's work Is better understood In France, It Is more In sympathy with French art, and America and Germany have shown their appreciation by buying It, The por trait of Mrs. Patrick Campbell, for In stance, occupies a pluce of honor In the Berlin National gallery, whll the English National gallery does not possess a single example of Beardsley's work. It la a moot point whether an artiste's life should ba taken Into consideration In estimating hla work. If Beardaley la ac cused of decadence and unhealthfulness In the way In which he Insisted on the sen sual side of life It must ba remembered that he was suffering, practically dying" of consumption, during tha few short years he died when he was 2a In which b pro duced the astonishing number of nearly 40b drawings. 1 Those ;iuiy roughly be divided Into four !er:uux. The first when he was absorbed by mediaeval traditions, the Illustrations for th Morte d'Arthur," produced during toe time, mowing an affinity for the work of Buriiv.-Jonc; the second when he was duiKinaud by eighteenth century French mt. wneu he did the drawings for the "K.ipu the Lock." Then came a Jap tuuuque period, and lastly one when he Vgan to use wash In conjunction with line wuk. These are mostly black and white. I. ui there exists a few examples of this Un biyle when he Introduced color, tints laid on flat without any modeling. The other exhibitors are somewhat over shadowed by Beardsley's genius, arfd most of them show traces of hla Influence In their work, either in feeling or execution, lu both these qualities S. H. 81m ap proaches him moat nearly. The nine il lustrations to the books of Lord Dun aany. The Oods of Pegana" and "Th Bword of Welleran," show fertility of in vention and a capacity for making th grotesque Impressive. lit technique Is admirable, too. On of th drawings, de picting a warrior standing In th shadow of a forest, has no rival In the present show for depth and richneea. The drawing by the late Henry Oapevat are ampl proof of the sure to be ob tained by plnylng to the gallery. It Is a srlancaoly fact that he remained alnvet unknown until he showed a series of cari cature Intensely valcar. but intentionally o. They were beautifully drawn, as mwi eartratures are not. and the Illustrations to Fhapexpeare'a sonnets and Matthew Arnold's poems, now bring shown st the Batllle Gallery, Indicate how much Oepo vat was capable of and what he might havs accomplished had he lived longer. At the Balllle gallery, which fs devoted to an exhibition of modern Illustrators dur ing August and September, on room Is filled with Beardsley's works and examples of the different periods sre shown be sides some caricatures and many humor ous drawings Illustrating the "Aepeld" and the "Jackdaw of Rhelma." The latter are rough sketches In a copybook, done when Aubrey was a schoolboy before he waa XI. Austin Spare Is a name not unknown to America, as th "Book of Satyrs" waa published simultaneously In New York and London. He has. In common with Beardaley, a lov of the grotesque and a delight In Intricate detail, but as a satirist of the most biting humor he has sacri ficed everything In his drawings for the sake of the satire. His drawings cannot be called decora tive. They are not pleasing plctorlally. They are too crammed with Incident. They ahow the desire to point a moral at all costs, and In giving each detail Ita full value the effect of Its relation to the whole has been lost. Perhsps they ought to bo criticised from the literary rather than th decorative point of view, for they were published in a jtortfotlo and not Intended to be hung on a wall. The exe cution of th details Is wonderful, and so la the rendering of the texture of the flesh and draperies, but so sensual Is the whole effect that they would be repulsive If It were not for the moral they are Intended to embody and the vivid satire they convey. From these drawings It Is a relief to turn to tha illustrations for "Sartor Re sartua," by E. J. Sullivan. They are full of delightfully quaint humor, those of Prof. Waldteufel struggling with the world and Welsanlchtwo being perhaps the best. Gordon Craig Inherits from his gifted mother a love of the drama and his art la employed mostly In connection with the stags. Even In the design for the cover of a catalogue he chooses as his subject two marionettes standing before the foot lights. A promising young Illustrator la Frederick Carter, freah from the axt school at Manchester, where he obtained a gold medal this year In the South Kensington examinations. He has already developed a style of his own, though he Is still under the fascinating influence of Aubrey Beardaley. o o o o o o SOCIETY SEES WORK AHEAD (Continued from Second Page.)

HANK MONK, STAGE DRIVER Old-Timer Who Carried Million Treasure Aero the Divide. In a corner of Lone Mountain cemetery, in the suburbs of Csrson, Nev., In ths re flection of the snow-capprd summits of the Sierras, is a solitary gravestone inscribed: In Memory of HANK MONK. Died February 2, 18S3, Aged 60 Years. A pioneer of the west, he drove the first eight-horse stages across th. Sierra Divide and for twenty six years conducted dally the pas sengers, malls snd treasure, and never imperiled the on or lost th other. whose obstacles, being overcome, furnish even to this day a noble object lesson In the srt of construction. The bullion, laden into sacks, was stowed in the bottom of the stage and th passengers sat on th bags, they being of secondary Impor tance. Hank Monk Is credited with having car ried $100,000,000 worth of treasure across the Divide. So the inscription upon his grsvestone In Lone Mountain cemetery Is no idle, foolish boawt, but the tribute due to a brave, loyal man, who filled his trust. When th railway waa built to d his Vlr-J glnla City and electrlo power was drawn from the Truckee river soma fifty miles distant th stages disappeared with their drivers. Monk gradually lost his Impor tance of plac, but his dignity remained unimpeachable even when his team waa reduced to two horses and his fares to a meager mallbag and an occasional pas senger. Hs finally succumbed to expos ure driving too late In th. season across to Tahoe and his strong limbs were tor tured by , rheumatism, so that death was a happy release from his sufferings. Al though th. aristocrat of th. region in a way that in the east ws cannot appre hend. Monk died very poor. Ills gener osity was proverbial and no gambler brok or ruined prospector or unrelieved remit tance man ever turned elsewhere than to bis open hand for aid. New York Press. Woodworker Loses Flngera.

REPUBLICANS WILL START ON FALL CAMPAIGN VERY SOON Have Meeting; This Week to Get Thing. In Shape for th Fray. Further delay In making preliminary plans for the fall campaign la deemed In advisable by republican leaders, and the eounty committee will be called together early in the week for the purpose of get ting a start. Vice Chairman N. P. Swan son and John O. Kuhn, chairman of the convention committee appointed to select the county committee, will call this meet ing. Nothing has as yet been done In the fall campaign and no especially strenuous ef forts will be exerted until after th Eagles' convention and the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival. The vice chairman of th. county commit tee and the chairman of th convention committee, however, bellev It best to make some kind of a start now, to "make hay whll. the sun shines." and be In readiness for pushing an effective campaign duri.ig October after th. festivities are at an end. Myron L. Learned, chairman of the county committee, is in th. east and will not return until th. first week In October. "What we must do now Is to get our ma terial all together, th. wood and the matches, as it were, and then when the Urn. comes w. will b. all ready to build our fir. and mak. thtngg hum." was tb. way Mr. Kuhn expressed It. Mr. 6 w anion said it should not be tien Like most of th graves of this new land, it is solitary because family ties were alien to the life of the new country, and th. stage driver sleeps alone, preserving In death some of that aristocracy of soli tude which only the western stage driver was ever able to attain. Monk had one warmer friend than any other among many residents In Carson, "Doc" Benton, who keeps a livery stable and preserves many wrecks of th old stages that used to whirl over the Sierras to Plaoervllle, and up and down th Gelger Grade to Virginia City. Many stories, too, he has to tell of Hank Monk, of hla skill In handling horses, of his calmness in moments of danger, prompt ness when action was needed, his kind ness, his generosity and noble qualities. Many of them have taken their place In the legendary lor of Nevada, among them the one made classic by Mark Twain In "Roughing It," which tells how Horace Greeley was a passenger to Placervllle, where he had an appointment to lecture. The ataga was late and Horace was anx ious about his arrival and bade the driver to make haste. The stage flew around the curvea first on two wheels, then on one, the horses at a mad gallop straining In the harness, and Horace Hecame alarmed. He remonstrated. Finally a Jolt threw his head through the roof of the stage, and Monk, without turning, cracked hla whip and said: "Keep your seat. Horace: we'll be In hell or Placervllle by I." A painter has made a familiar figure of the scene. with the cherubic head of Horace emerg ing from the top of the stage, the plunging teams of bronchoa and the swaying stage, which still hangs in the Ormsby house In Csrson City, the object of artistlo criticism by dally visitors. Thos old dlversand fighters were typ icsl men. Quiet, reserved, capable, ready, Intrusted with fabulous treasures with no other guarantee than their waybill, there la not in the west a single instance of their betraying their trust or of any fail ure to make safe delivery where it was humanly possible to do so. Occasionally Indians and mors frequently road sgents met them on their way, but apart from these nothing etayed them, nor flood, nor storm, nor snows, and they kept the road with Homeric purpose. Th. bullion that was taken out of ths Comstock, In all amounting to mors than 1660.00,000, was for a large part carried by stages across tht, Sierras to California for smelting When the lode was first uncovered men were too busy exhuming the or. to build mills, and besides there was no power, Ilk. water, or fuel on Mt. Davidson to run them. Obviously It was eaaler to transport the ailver-laden quarts across to ths Sacramento valley. Dally ther started forty ta fifty stages, sight and ten horse teams drawing stages across th Sierras. The road was one of the best ever built In America.
