THE LUMP CITY 'MINER: LUMP CITY, MONTANA. • 0. AS CLEVER AS MEN. SOME WOMEN AR - I ISTS WHO ARE FAIVittlhi. They Huse Achle,rd 'LevuIt. WIlich Are Here Among Exhibited Works Nothing Womanish About Their Pictures—Excellent cations. (New York Correspondence.) , \!.1 HE mbdern woman, freed in great meas- ure from the old re- (straints put upon .her by society, has come rapidly to the front in art as in everything else. In our own land of !liberty she has made strides in the development o f those lofty ideals which formerly lay within the scope of man only, and by hard work has achieved a place in the world of art, which nature, by her sympathetic en- dowments, intended should be hers. Onu of the foremost of American women artists is Alice Barber Ste- phens, a delineator of nature in all the varied forms of artistic medium. The career of this young woman has been one of persistent advance. Mrs. Stephens as a very little girl showed a marked instinct for art, and at the age of seven years her talent for drawing was so marked that she was given over to masters\ in the School of Design In Philadelphia, where her parents then AIRS.J.FRANCIS MURPHY. MRS. RHODA HOLMES NICHOLLS. resided. Later she entered the Penn- sylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and before she was sixteen became a prize pupil in the woman's life class. Later she was offered superior op- portuntCies for study under the train- ing of Julien and Cart0 Rossi, in Paris, where she remained two years. But without the exceptional natural gift of ielicate conception that has enabled her to portray those pretty, trilling details of life which grace a homely subject with charm, these advantages of study wourd have availed her little. When Mrs. Stephens returned to America she was prevailed upon to become an in- .truotor in the School of Design, in Philadelphia, a position which she milli holds. As an Illustrator Alice Barber Ste- phens stands, in point of eminence, at the head of the list of women artists in that line. Her successes in black and white have been many, but she has not confined herself to this mode of delinea- tion. In the realm of color she is easily at home, and many of her recent can - vetoes, which show less ot the conven- tional instructor than her other work, bear striking manifestations of the not too extreme impressionist school. Another clever illustrator and brush - woman is Mrs. J. Francis Murphy, who holds her own in the world of art with bler talented husband. Mrs. Murphy is sa happy in oil as In crayon wock, and ranks high as an illustrator. Her fancy is for old ruins, soft moonlight and fan- tastic shadows. Nothing could be more suggestive of sentiment and poetry than one of her moonlight paintings, where shadows are deep and lights are strong. In our popular periodicals her illus- MRS.

Maud Sturnm is es- s ;velum. Here is a highly po - tical t•mperament. and this Quality la •viereci In all that she does. Much of Was Rtumm's work Is dope in water eolors. In which medium *he exeele orpaat.nally one tueets with a classic from the Greek or Latin poets done in exquisite, and if one will look carefully over the work he will find at the fai right-hand corner the name of Maud Stumm. Rhoda Holmes Nicholls is an artist of varied gifts, and a most prolific worker. Her types range from delicate wash drawings to strong effects of light and shade in pictures of desert life. Un- like most artists who generally foster a specialty her studio, well filled with her work, shows evidences of genius for composition in all branches of art. Mrs. Nicholls has worked in Rome and Ven- ice, and mucf. ot the Influence of those rare artistic climes can be traced in her paintings. While in Rome she was made a mem- ber of the Roman Water Color society, an honor seldom accorded a woman. \A Sunny Afternoon ln Venice.\' a small canvas, which she exhibited at the Society of American Artists ten years ago, attracted wide attention, and at once raised her to a place in the art world to which her extraordinary tal- ents entitled her. Mrs. Nicholls made a year's stay in Southern Africa, and her paintings of desert life are es- teemed by her contemporaries to be specimens of her finest work. Mrs. Nicholls is also a mild disciple of the impressionist order. Matilda Browne is an artist who gives promise of a brilliant career. She is a happy portrayer of animal life, not the wild, unrestful examples of the brute creation, but the quietly grazing herd or dozing sheep in cool meadows of star -eyed daisies. Miss Browne is still quite young, and is devoted to her work. A year or so ago she visited Holland, working the summer through, and studying the styles of other artists. Her Illustrations for juvenile publica- tions have been very popular, many of them appearing in those children's books issued by Harper's. Georginna A. Davis is also an excellent worker in oil and water colors. She has not had the advantages for studying other than those offered by the Art Stu- dents' league of this city, and yet her pen and ink and wash drawings are eagerly accepted by the illustrated peri- odicals, and compare favorably with the work of more experienced artists. These are but a few of the clever women artists among UB, women who have by their vigorous efforts, of self - appreciation taken place by the side of man In the same branches of practical art, and turned talent to good account financially. COIN'S TEACHER. The Man Who Has Stirred Up the Greet Financial -Discussion. (Chicago Correspondence.) William Hope Harvey, author of \The Elementary Principles of Money,\ \Coin's Financial School,\ and \A Tale of Two Nations,\ eminently successful contributions to current financial literature, is comparatively a young man. He was born Aug. 16, 1851, in Buffalo, Putnam county, West Virginia. His early • W. H. HARVEY. education was acquired In the common or district schools of hi' neighborhood, and at the age of 16 he was a school- teacher himself. Reading law in an of- fice in hie native town he passed a creditable examination at the age of 19 years, and was admitted to practice. Success followed his efforts as a lawyer, and he became noted at the bar of Ca - bell county, West Virginia. and in the circuit embracing this, Putnam, and other counties in the Kanawha valley. In 1876 he left his West Virginia home and settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where he practiced his profession successfully for two years. In 1877 he located in Chicago and practiced law, having an office in the Portland block. In 1879 he went to Gallipoli», Ohio, where he became coun- sel for several wholesale firms, and as well a partner In the dry goods firm of John T. Halliday Rt Co. There he mar- ried Miss Anna Halliday, by whom he has had four children. In 1884 he aban- doned the practiee of law and emigrated from Ohio to Colorado, settling in Den- ver, where investments became his spe- cial line of business. In 1890 business °aired him to Ogden, Utah, and there he took up his residence until May, 1893, when he returned to Chicago. Rince re- establishing himself in this city, Mr. Harvey ham been engaged in author- ship, the publication of financel litera- ture. His surress has been pronounced. His works have commanded widespread attention and have attained to a won- derfúl degree of popularity. So far as \The School in Chicago,\ spoken of in \Coin's Financial School.\ is concerned It is only a figure of speech or an Alle- gory used to convey' a lesson practically and easily. Mr. Harvey's school, In fact, consists of the clientele that seeks and reads his work. with avidity. Alweysn'it the Market. links—Why do these millionaires dream so shabbily?

LOUIS. _ irhey Have' Taken the Placee of Men 'n Many Depart ult , iste of Newspaper York —Clever in Their Respective holds. (St Louis Correspondence.) T. LOUIS HAS AS able a corps of woman writers as can be found in the country,_,not even eItceattfig those of Chioago. All of them, with possibly one exception, have been, or are, edi- tors, and that grave and responsible position has, in :act) case, been filled with a grace and /lenity which reflect the highest credit on the city which is their home. Mrs. Walker was Miss Rosa Kershaw, daughter of a wealthy and aristocratic Mississippi planter. She was a beauti- ful young girl, well educated, part of her instruction having been received In Europe. Mrs. Walker's early married life was spent in the south and later in this city, where she was very popular in society as a young matron. Left a widow, with three little ones, Mrs. Waiktkr turned to' journalism, and by her work on the papers for the last six- teen years supported her children until they became self-supporting. Mrs. Walker first began her literary labors on the Post -Dispatch, with which paper she remained over a year, then connect- ing herself with the Globe -Democrat, where she has since remained. About seven years ago Mrs. Walker plunged into the editorial vortex, publishing a magazine called \Fashion and Fancy,\ a potpourri of matters of interest to women. This journal, while decidedly attractive in appearance and subject matter, was not of long life. Mrs. Walker is kno\,n as one of the pioneer Camden in 1878 Miss Vandegrift was married to Henry W. Moore of London. England. and with him came to St. Louis, where Mr. Moore entered the newspaper business. At this time Mrs. Moore likewise took up journalism, be- ing one of the regular staff of the old Spectator from its inception, contribu- ting to the editorial department, doing miscellaneous writing and taking entire charge of the book reviews for several years. In 1888 Mr. Moore returned to Philadelphia, where she contributed to the woman's department ot the New York World and to several other news- papers and magazines. In 1890 she came back to St. Louis to establish \Life.\ Which was a success from the start, and under her management has be- come a favorite comic and society weekly. Mrs. Moore is noted for her social qualities, being a favorite mem- ber of a select circle of people of liter- ary arid artistic tastes. As a writer she has a clever and direct style, which has won her a place in journalism sec- ond to no other woman in St. Louis, and as an editor she has shown taste and discrimination besides skill In the business management of her paper. Mrs. Marla I. Johnston was born In Fredericksburg. Va., but raised in Mis- sissippi. Her first effort in literature was a book, \The Siege of Vicksburg,\ giving, in connection with a little Creole story, her experiences during the mem- orable forty-five days. The book had great local popularity, seventy-five copies selling.in one day. During the New Orleans exposition Mrs. Johnston was correspondent to a dozen or more papers in the Mississippi Valley. She relates an amusing experience while acting as reporter for a Presbyterian assembly, at which her work was tele- graphed to thirty different papers. .Among her numerous reportorial suc- cesses, Mrs. Johnston is fond of relat- ing an account of what she claims and what probably is the \banner society work\ done up to date. She took charge of the reporting of the Masonic con- clave and V. P. ball, and after paying liberally five lady assistants, found she had cleared $218. The subject of this sketch was editor of the Spectator for three years, during which time she feels herself to have gained a most valuable experience. After this camecorrespond- women journalists of Bt. Louis, and enjoys, in her work, the perfect trust and confidence of het' hosts of friends. Mrs. S. Innes Stone is the pioneer among the women journalists of St. Louis, or indeed of Missouri, her con- nection with the staff of the old Mis- souri Republican beginning in 1875, and antedating by more than a year that of any other woman holding a similar place on any paper in this city or state. Mrs. Stone is a Virginian bx birth and education; a descendant of (he old col- onial and revolutionary stock of the Old Dominion, and a typical southerner; she has lived in St. Louis more than twenty years, and by her journalistic work has educated and supported her two daughters, who were infants when she came to St. Louis from the south. Mrs. Stone learned all she knows of journalism on the old Repablican, al- though her first newspaper work was not done for the Republican, but for a little weekly society paper called the Herald, which lived but a year—long enough, however, to arouse a lively in- terest among society people for a re- count in print of their social doings to cause wide regret at its demise. Mrs. Stone was also one of the four journal- ists who made the staff of the Specta- tor, from its Inolpiency for the first four years of its existence, which was the most readable and most widely circulat- ed weekly that Rt. Louis produced. Mrs. Sue Vandegrift Moore. editor of the Bt. Louis.

Mrs. Moore was educated at Mrs. Chaptonn's seminary for young ladies at W)Imeehorg a suburb of Philadel- phia. and, after graduating, became a teacher, her first position being in Hie ithraidan seminary at Litely.

At present Mrs. Johnston devotes meet of her time to the St. Louis Chart club, an organization consisting of 200 ladies, divided into classes for the study of art, history, current topics, etc., her well-known literary attainments and marvelous fund of historical informa- tion rendering her invaluable in such work. Mrs. Annie L. Y..OrIT has been so often \written up\ that there Is simply nothing to relate concerning her that has not been told before. The details of her early life struggles have been no often described that she says she has a perfect horror of seeing them in print. A certain \little red book\ for instance, though the beginning of her success and the preparing of which many of her friends still regard as her most remarkable feat, has become her bete noir. That little book of railroad tables she should, nevertheless, treas- ure as a souvenir among the many beautiful objects of art which adorn her home and offires, for It was the stepping stone to higher things, and dis- played to perfection the great business ability and energy which are among her marked characteristics.
