THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 28.-1903. - Next Sunday's SUPPLENENT RIS T S e NSNS I SN S e < e ————— e ) 0 “King of the Flock” is reproduced from a painting by the celebrated Belgian painter of poultry, E. R. Maes. The original, which hangs in the Chicago Art Institute, shows the fowls life size, and the remarkable real- ism of the painting is faithfully preserved in every detail in The Call's Art Supplement. The artist’s remarkable skill only in the accurate delineation of the fowls and the lifelike rendering of their sleek plumage, but also in the painting of the land- scape background and the accessories. The 3 artist raises his own models and keeps them on a farm which he owns at Coutich, near Antwerp. Many of them, like their master, are winners of medals and prizes, for they are not of common stock, and Maes is one of the leading poultry fanciers of Belgium. His pictures show clearly his great familiarity with his subjects. Each hen and chick shows distinct individuality. They difier not only in form and color, but their attitudes and even their expressions differ. Note the air of watchful responsibility of the mother of the chicks, the alertness of the brown hen, and the pride of the cock. s shown not Edgar Remy Maes was born at Puers, near Antwerp, in 1849. His father was a black- smith, and at the age of 12 Maes became his assistant. It was a visit to an uncle, who was a portrait painter in Brussels, that first He was about 15 years of age when he began to paint. For several years he made copies in the museums to earn a livelihood. Finally gave him the idea of becoming an artist. a dealer, who saw his ability, agreed to pay him 30 francs a week to paint pictures of animals for the trade. This gave the young artist an opportunity to attend the night classes of the Antwerp Art Academy, and he so well applied himself that in four years he had won three prizes. It was his ambition to become a figure painter, but his reputation had been launched and connoisseurs came so rapidly for paintings of animals that he found no time for figure painting. He was engaged for considerable periods to work exclusively for a London dealer, a Paris dealer, Mr. Wilson, United States Consul at Brussels, and, fipal- Iy, by Dhuyvetter, the Antwerp dealer, for whom he has painted nearly 300 pictures since 1875.

The Government of- | ficials in the national capital will be again urged to refrain from any such | | unjust move as giving the benefits of the | transport trade to Puget Sound cities. The Toyo Kisen Kaisha, the Occldental and Oriental and the Pacific Mail are. the | steamship companies which might pi sibly come to the rescue of San Francisco at the earnest call of her commercial men $An an emergency like the present. The hopes of those interested are pinned on these three, particularly on the last named line. | SCHWERIN’S PROMISE. i Vice President Schwerin pro ed on | the former occasion to do all In his power to aid this port in the transport matter and the commercjal men are turning to him now.

It Is felt, too, that they ought to be willing to sacrifice something for this city’s business in an emergency. | There is no conceivable reason why the transport service should be handed to James Hill. Every argument is against his pretensions. San Franefsco has one of the largest, best and most thoroughly equipped military posts in the country. Seattle has offered to furnish a sultable plece of ground, but the money that has been spent in fmproving the Presidio and the disagreeable climate of the State of ‘Washington ought to make that offer of | no avail. MILLIONS INVOLVED. For convalescent soldiers to be sent from the torrid Philippines to the frigid Sound region in winter would not seem good policy to the ordinary mind. Agaln, it would take years of time and invoive an expenditure of millions of dollars to fit up another post like the Presidio. Hill will undoubtedly bid for the trans- port business at a very low rate, as he did before, but the commercial men hope to show the Government officials that a cheap rate does not settle the question in favor of Seattle. The transports are car- rying at present an average of nearly 100 First Tweifth 1 L K Bk Broderick, Tilden, ederick and Hugo streets and Powell | | | troops continually | return TIME HAS BEEN GENTLE TO THIS LOVING COUPLE TALENTED MUSICIAN [ WHO I WILL CELEBRATE | SILVER WEDDING TO-DAY, fArnold Pollak and Wife to Celebrate Silver Wedding. completion of twenty-five s of happily wedded life will be celebrated to-day by Arnold | Pollak and hie wife at their resi- dence, 1720 Bush street.

It will be necessary to send and return cost, sald that the traffic is too insignificant for overnment control. There are now but transports in use between San Fran- and Manila, and they carry a full cargo on practically every trip. The commercial men are astonished to think that the question should again be opened, so quietly t00; but they are de- termined to settle the controversy this time for good and all and to thwart Hiil" prodigious schemes for Seattle in th | matter at least. Pawned a Friend’s Pin. Herbert Newman was arrested yester- day by Detectives O'Dea and Muleahy and booked at the City Prison on a wa vant charging him with misdemeanor em. bezziement. The complalning witness is Roland A. Boucher, salesman for a m ble company on Brannan street. He g leges that on April 3 he loaned Ne man his diamond pin tha might weg it to a ball, and that Newman did not it.
