That is to say, it provided in the charter that municipal elections shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1899, and in every second year there- after. In this way municipal elections will be held in the odd numbered years and will be wholly separate from the State and national elec- tions that are held in the even numbered years. The Freeholders who framed the charter believed that one of the evils in municipal elections was the confusion brought about by the introduction of State and na- tional issues. The questions involved, being matters of strictly municie pal concern, should be considered and voted upon from a standpoint of purely civic interest. EDWARD R. TAYLOR, JOSEPH BRITTON, P. H.

No wonder that when elasquez came he received a right royal welcome. Don Diego de Silva Velasquez was born at Seville in June, 159. Though of noble family, his parents allowed him to follow his leaning for an artist’s life, and at 13 he entered the studio of the famous, fiery Herrera, but soon passed to that of Pa- chéco, where he spent five years in paint- ing genre subjects and in careful study of physiognomy. Pacheco so appreciated his character and budding talents that he gave him his daughter in marriage in 1618. The young pamnter was, in his teens a pure realist, delighting in tavern and kitchen scenes and every variety of com- mon life, as we can see from his “Water Carrier’’ at Apsley Court and his ‘*Adora- tion of the Shepherds” in the National Gallery. Even his religious plctures had then an cbtrusive dominant element of peasantry, which afterward disappeared. Tn 1623 an eventful change took place in the artist’s life. He was called to Madrid and by favor of the Prime Minister Oli vares became, at the extraordinarily vouthful age of 24, portrait King Philip IV, the royal family and the court. Velasquez must have shown great social tact and ability not only to keep throughout his life the favor so early ob- tained but steadily to increase it. The royal palace at Madrid had become a su- perb picture -gallery, where many of the great masters of the sixteenth century | were magnificently represented, and by a study of these masterpieces Velasquez broadened hiz knowledge, obtained new insight into the possibilities of color and acquired flexibility and confidence. was weaned both from. crass realism and from the *“tendency” school, and turned to the study of the human personality. For ten years after his coming to Ma- drid Velasquez appears to have confined himself to aristocratic portraits, turning away from his earlier themes of common life as unsuited to the courtly atmosphere of Madrid. In 1628 the interesting episode of Rubens’ visit to Madrid brought the Spaniard for the first time into personal contact with one of his great contempo- raries. It was at Rubens’ suggestion that Velasquez, with the consent and financial help of the King and of Olivares. made the important decision to visit Italy to study the Italian masters at home. At Venice he studied and copied Tintorstto and especially Titlan, whom he regarded as the greatsst of all Italians. At Rome, where he made a far longer stay, he spent most of his time at the Vatican, studying and copying Raphsel and Michelangelo, but he also devoted himself to getting ac- quainted with antique sculpture. Strange as it may appear to us, he certainly also imbibed a decided liking for that latest ohase of Italian painting, the Bolognese little freedom |- ve a decidedly local flavor. | + | famous_interior: painter to | He | A. L. Froth- school, and especially for Guido. His Italian journey bore immediate fruit in | his art, showing not only | but in his conception and composition of his theme: as in his “Forge of Vutcan” and the “Christ at the Pillar.” After an absence of a year and a half Velasquez returned to Madrid, in 1631, and again took up the daily routine of court life and sociatio The following nine- teen years of his middle period show no folent changes, but a gradual advance in surety of method, breadth of theme and grasp of human nature. He paints not only portraits, but scenes of court life and amusements, such as boar hunts and stag his technique hunts, as well as elaborate historical and fous scenes. The foremos s large compositions, the scene of the “Surrender of Breda,” the crowning exploit of the ca- reer of that great imperialist general, Spinola, is judged some critics to be one of the grez historical paintings. At about the same time he produced one of his most perfect portr that of “Ad- miral Pulido Pareja.” now in the National Gallery. A chronological study of the portraits that led up to tnis one is the best index to his artistic progri To about | this time belongs, in part at least, that | remarkable series of full-length portraits 1 palace, such of the “Sports” of the rc ns dwarfs and buffoo whose por- val Velasquez co assume greater liberty in at ude and e ression and greater realism than in his s istocratic with their exigencies of dress ity. sibly to buy for the King sts from the antique, but ¥ 1t he was driven to it by his desire to gain the stimulus of fur- ther contact with the best Italian art. There can be no better proof of the ma: ter's tremendous advance since his f | visit, he painted the rather a demic and weak “Forge of Vulcan,” than i comparison of this picture with piece of his second visit, the “Pope Innocent X,” now in tk Italy, oste tures and 1 belie st Doria-Pamfili galle one of the most won ful of portraits and sufficient in‘it- self to immortalize its 0T hat th! was not a “fluke” is shown by the almost equally living and force Morisco attendant and 1 he also did in Rc rait of his Parej prelimin painter’s lif irid, must have held a strange ture of gratifica- tion and of dis intment, for he at- tained to more public honors than he could have had a right to expect, and yet for this very reason his artist's soul was | hindered in its expansion by the inces- sant public ¢ n him. At his own request he was appointed in 1652 palace marshal to the King, in_addition to his other office of director of the royal g leries. His new duties included the o ganization and direction of all court fetes and pomps and of roval journeys, the de- signing and decorating of the royal pal aces and even the supervision of the de- of court life, such as the heating and lighting of the household. Certainly all this labor w: not wasted, for it gave Velasquez the opportunity to do for Spain what Holbein had done for England in the time of Henry VIII-the opportunity to direct the public taste in all branche of art and art indust: in a way far tran- scending in popular effect the influence of his own artistic work. Velasquez could uot have found during these years the long spells fo con- tinuous work that his carlier life had a lowed. Perhaps this p: the freer more sketc | his late w the mo: | Impressionistic of all and | he has come into p of a far | wider range of calor effects. Aside from | his portraits, many of the finest of which | belong here, we should judge of . this period of his life not by such lifeless pro- | ductions as the classic subjects required by the taste of the time, to which his realistic genius was unsuited, but by his the laids of Honor™ and ‘“The Tapestrs and prob- ably by some of the group of serio-comic portraits of the court jesters and dwarfs, Tn the prime of strength and high in royal favo squez was struck down in his sixty-second year, by an acute illness brqught on by his labors court marshal.
