Ives studio somo American artists were talking recently about the conveyance of their pictures to the United States. It is frequently the case that an American artist living temporarily abroad sends his pictures more or less regularly to Now York and other titles. To avoid the duty upon foreign pictures, he obtains a paper, practically a bill of lading from the American consul, a duplicate of which paper is mailed to the firm or Individual who is to receive the pictures in the United States. This is intended to insure the delivery of the paintings without any trouble or the payment of duty at the custom house. When the artist accompanies his pictures, he has a similar paper.

Yet, even with these apparently simple arrangements the artist often has his troubles. An artist who had lived in St. Ives for some time, had occasion, a year or so ago, to take home several canvases which he had painted at this place. He was to sail for Philadelphia from Liverpool and went up to the latter city two days before the date of sailing in order to give himself enough time to obtain the necessary paper. He received at the office from a clerk, the forms, which he filled out as directed, paid the re for a $300 Upright Piano for a $275 (' Upright Pmno for a $250 Upright Piaino for a $200 The factional strife within the Independence Leage, which appeared when Bela Tokaji withdrew from the league, organized a Committee of One Hundred $175 $150 $125 $100 MI88 8ELMA HASSEL, 2723 N.

The curve of the little peninsula, t'iinatlng in the long pier, Is dlstnctly shown. In the large harbor thus Inclosed lie Ihe fishing boats, always suggestive of life and motion, even when quietly anchored, with their tall masts trembling against tho gray background of the houses. After a rain, the reddish and yellow brown sails are spread to dry, imparting a touch of color to tho scene.

At sunset view composes especially well. Emphatic outlines are lost in the softened light, and the long sweep from the hill downward toward the town Is restful in effect. Less brilliant than they might be at home, thn rose and violet tints which flood the sky and distant ocean behind the town, arc yet as The warm light touches the topmost houses, sends a few shafts down their roofs, but leaves the mass of buildings and the Inner harbor in deep shade. Tho shade deepens as the glow fades. The (own lies, like a soft, dark cloud between the tinted ocean and the faintly luminous harbor.

But now the graynoss Is starred with lights, which shine forth through tiny windows dance down the water In golden streaks beside the dark reflections of the masts. Beside this western view, the new town, reaching up toward the hills above the station, received little attention. It does not differ essentially In appearance from the old, as the houses are also built of gray stone or stucco, and the peaks of the roofs finished with red tiles. While the artist's taste may not be offended by the appearance of tho newer town, he will doubtless turn his bark upon It and sketch, In preference, the old roofs, with their unsteady outlines, depressed ridges and Irregular surfaces adorned with green moss. These old roofs are most expressive when seen as a mass from some elevation.

"All the Inhabitants are artists." the visitor may thlnK us he follows the streets of the old town, and sees Scores of these workers, each bearing the unmistakable appliances of his craft easel, color box or small knapsack, holding a water color outfit. Young men and maidens, other artists of more uncertain age, are busy on the quay, the streets, the hillsides above the town. In the neighborhood of the harbor, where the brown-wingod boats fly in like birds to a sure haven, may be noticed, another assemblage crowds of sturdy flishermen, bronzed, tall of stature, powerful of voice. These are busy among the boats, the nets, the sails, the flsh baskets, following the many occupations which tho onlooker calls pirturerque, but which, to tho performers thereof, aro distinctly realistic. "Oh, It Is a Ashing town," decides the 'investigating visitor, and investigating further he climbs the steep, winding streets to the upper portion of the town.

There, near the hotels and lodging houses, Ftrolls another distinctive procession. Sunburnt, knickerbockered young Englishmen escort numberless rosy English maidens, in pretty gowns, flapping hats, or stlffor ones of the mushroom variety. Below, at the foot of tho built-up terraces, the curving beach, with Its bathing machines, its bathers, Its digging and wading children, bears out the testimony of the chattering crowd, that St. Ives Is a resort of others beside artists.

Under this aspect St. Ives suggests age and wickedness. You feel that It has a past and (emember Its smuggling days. But on a summer day St. Ives can smile with fascinating beauty In a brilliant color setting.

The water is subject, to remarkable and sudden changes on a bright afternoon. The clear, unvarying blue of the morning may change almost Instantaneously along the shore to a pure, brilliant green, clear as an emerald, but. lighter and more dazzling. Sometimes the color may be seen creeping through, but again Its sudden appearance Is startling. The distance is deep purple and sometimes this color is streaked through the green.

The peculiarly rich green of the hillsides is thus emphasized and the deep shadows of the rocks. The color effect Is wonderful and one thinks instinctively of the tropics. The climate Is. of course, not tropical, but it Is surprisingly mild. Only a few degrees of difference In temperature mark winter from summer.

Artists work out of doors as freely in one season as another. Plants which wo guard carefully during the winter In our northern states remain out doors here during the entlro year. On a large estate between this town and Penzance are many yuccas, monkey trees aud other plants which grow freely in Bermuda and which we associate only with tropical countries.

History of Political Issues. "When first, the factories called the toiler from the farm and set their suindles going, there came with the cloth tcom the loom and with the wood from he plane, and with the cotton from the til, a political issue which for three-f uarters of a century has disrupted parties, divided communities and fairly 'trilled the public life of the nation.

Let this monument ever remind the thronging multitudes that righteousness exalted a nation, while sin Is a reproach to any people. Bind us together, people of many tongues and varied races that we are, into one great nation whose cornerstone is justice, whose Inspiration is love, and whose mission is service. Let all racial and class animosities disappear, give us the spirit, of brotherly kindness and of mutual helpfulness.

The variations of house structure are so numerous that they become as confusing as monotony Itself. Here is a yellow plaster house projecting Into a small court from a mass of grey stone dwellings. It Is a'cbarmlng bit. Farther on Is another court with another yellow house, perhaps projecting at a different angle or with an extra window. But after a few moments It becomes impossible to find the first yellow house In tho contusion of many courts and winding ways.

The other visitors you meet wear expectant or perplexed expressions. The gazing Inhabitants appear calmly confident. They can find the post office whenever they wish to do so. Sometimes you feel so much like a lost article that you almost expect to hear your description called oat by the town crier. This is a solemn personage with a tremendous voice yra stalks about ringing a large bell aad calling forth descriptions of pocket books, ornaments, umbrellas, dogs and other possessions.

A Fishing Town, Away From the Ordinary Routes, That Attracted the Artists. It Is the fisherman's life, however, with all that pertains to It. which has made St. Ives the place It Is, which has Ira-parted to it abiding characteristics and lies at the very foundation of Its attraction. Tho very fact that St.

Ives was, not so many years ago. merely a fishing town removed from the usual tourist routes, with a wonderful combination of old boats, quaint old buildings and general simplicity, flrst attracted a few artists. Others came and unwittingly drew after them, that following of more or less fashionable folk who are fascinated by artistic accessories, usually without any devotion, practical, or otherwise, to the profession Itself. But this Invasion is a passing on and ba nothing to do with the "true Inwardness" of tho place. A few families near the quay take lodgers, but they depart little In consequence from their established habits of life.

The lodger who does not object to simple customs may like to lodgo in the lower streets, but If not. he would better betake himself to the newer sections. If he has tho least feeling for the picturesque, however, ho will cot escape the glamor of the old town. The newer fit. Ives climbs the hills ambitiously toward the railway station and seems to hold Itself somewhat apart from tho old.

Notwithstanding, however, that the latter Is possessed of fishy odors, of numberless children, of countless cats; notwithstanding that carts rumble terrifically In the narrow streets so narrow that you must step Into doorways to allow vehicles to pass notwithstanding these things, which are distinct Inconveniences, you will find yourself returning again and vet again to the old town's Intricate fascinations.

"If I have to land without the papers there's no use of my having them at all." But his protests were vain. The only thing to do was to forward the papers to Falmouth and permit the law to take Its course. They were not on band when be arrived at Philadelphia.

He related all tho circumstances. Including the delay of the papers, to the officials. "I can bring any number ot people here to Identify me and prove that I am r.n American citizen. You can telephone to the Pennsylvania Academy," he said. "We don't doubt your word in the matter for moment, Mr.

Smith, but it is necessary, since you haven't the papers with you, to go through with a certain form and Investigation. I think the simplest and easiest thing for you to do, is to get a custom house broker," was the reply. The much tried artist was obligel to leave the pictures in care of the custom house when he went to his home. His feelings were not soothed by the necessity of paying five dollars to the broker, as he had a strong conviction that the ten English shillings which he paid tht consul should have insured him against further trouble. He was especially anxious to obtain his pictures at once, as they were to be sent to a certain exhibition at which he was always represented.

Pilchard Fishing Is an Important Industry at St. Ives. It Is not such a far cry from art to fishing, at least In this place.

It would be searrelv fair to leave St. Ives without some reference to the pilchard fishery which is nn Important Industry and brings in a large sum annually, to the town. The method of catching the fish Is most Interesting. The pilchard is a small fish somewhat resembling the herring and valued especially for the large nuantltv of oil which It contains. One method of catching is by the dragnets drawn by sailing boats out at.

sea. The meshes are largo enough to catch the heads of the flsh. The other way of catching them is by the "seine" net and this is depended upon for obtaining the largest catch, although It is not always as certain as the other. The flsh congregate about Land's End, and along the southern coast, usually in July, and later in the summer swim northward in immense shoals keeping in well toward the shores. During the season, after the flsh have appeared farther south, two big fishing boats wait constantly, one at each end of the harbor.

Each has a crew of six or eight men and each boars the seine, rolled up In an Immense mound in the stern. On tho hill above the harbor and the town, is stationed a watcher, called a "hucr." the word signifying to 'alarm or call out. His business is to watch the water, for the trained eye can perceive at once the approach of the flsh. The buer can toll from the appearance of the water, which becomes reddish in tint, how thick the shoal is and how near It approaches the shore. When It Is near enough to land to permit the casting of the net, he signals the wailing boats, by calling loudly through tie trumpet, "Heva! Heva!" Ho has previously given warning of the approach of the fish by waving a bough.

When the cry is heard It Interests every one within hearing for the size of the catch is of great Importance to the town. Each net is nearly two hundred fathoms long and about ten fathoms deep. One side is weighted and falls to the bottom. The other edge upon which corks are fastened floats upon the surface. Thus a wall of net is provided which readies from the bottom to the top of the water.

The seine boats sail around the shoal and the great object Is to completely surround and secure It hy joining the ends of the two nets before any flsh escape. After they aro thus secured the pilchards may remain some time if necessary before they are brought to the surface by the use of a smaller net and removed by boat loads from the enclosure. The seine has already been cast twice this year without great success. The boats are still waiting. You can always find entertainment in St.

The other and Important portion of the St. Ives population the art community is due, In a measure, no doubt, lo this mild climate. This would not be sufficient In itself, of course, to attract artists. But when It Is found in connection with a place of Interesting street scenes, a harbor with manifold interests, a bold and beautiful coast, topped by colorful undulating moors, It Is of obvious advantage. Any artist who depicts outdoor subjects will appreciate the opportunity of keeping In touch with them for the entire year instead of shutting himself in a city studio for several dark winter months.

There is, moreover, at St. Ives an opportunity for comfortable living nt moderate cost. It is not merely a summer art colony, but an important art settlement, which is increasing In size each year.

These look toward the terminus of the St. Ives peninsula or, in the other direction, toward Gurnard's Head, and directly down upon a smooth beach and in constant view of the waves.
