Lieutenant Colonel ‘W. L. Pitcher has released the officers that had been under arrest and they have gone back to their respective du- ties. In speaking of the recent commotion in the camp Colonel Pitcher said: "I am an officer of the Government and 1 am not here to make any grand stand play. I do my work and I in- tend that all under my command shall do what is expected of them. I have zed club in use for those who not conform to army regulations. That is all I have to say about it. I am working for the Government and those under me must conform to army routine work. That is all there is about it. The officers under arest I have released, but unless they toe the mark they know what the conse- quences will be.” Lieutenants Aiken and Foote, who have been under arrest and who were yesterday, had little to say. Lieutenant Foote was non-commital, and when asked regarding his arrest and confinement in the post stated that he had nothing to say. Lieutenant Aiken greatly regretted that his name had been again drag- ged before the public. He said that he had always tried to conform to and do justice to the views of his superior officers. He was always willing to be counseled and advised by his com- Regarding the affair in the Philippines he said that the report that in the court martial there he had lost several files was an error.

By Charles Van den Eycken TO BE GIVEN WITH THE NEXT SUNDAY CALL The proverbial playfulness of kittens is a favorite subject with painters who choose their models from the domesticated branch of the feline tribe. The fact that the little animals have not been endowed with discretion in their choice of playthings, along with their instinct for play often leads them to do much mischief, and it this mischief which furnishes an inexhaustible fund of material upon which such art- ists as Eugene Lambert, Mme. Henviette Ronner and Charles Van den Eycken, painter of the original of this art supplement, have drawn in producing the pictures\ which are their life work. Other artists of more serious temperament have used cats as models for repre- sentations of the savage members of the same family. cat is almost identical with that of many of its wild cousins, and the fact that the sav- age instincts of its ancestors have only a thin veneer of the domestication makes it a simple matter for an artist to transform the household tabby into a tiger or lion- One needs only to observe a cat drinking, or stalking a mouse or sparrow to note the resemblance recalled by Whittier, who displayed much of a painter’s instinct in his description in the lines in “Snow Bound” —+“The cat’s dark silhouette on the wall, a couchant tiger’s seemed to fall.” In such pictures as the one which is the subject of this notice there are the ele- ments of lively action and a pleasing suggestion of innocence and joyousness which In Van den Eycken’s painting there is also bright and c make them justly popular. , as Delacroix frequently did. agreeable color and skillful brush work. Charles Van den Eycken is a Belgian of pure Flemish descent. young man and has cvery prospect of becoming even more famous branch of art than the celebrated Mme. Ronner, whose pupil he is. His studio is in The anatomy of the domestic Antwerp in the same building as that of his former instructor. ade his works have become well known in America and the sale of his pictures in this country is steadily increasing.

Despondency caused Mrs. Lottie Chase, a waitress employed at the Presidio, to attempt her life last night by the inhalation of illuminating gas in her room at 2747 Greenwich street. Owing to her absence at the supper hour inquiries were made at. the house where she resided, with the re- sult that the woman was found-in an unconscidus condition in her apart- ment, and an open gas key testified to the cause. The ambulance was called and Mrs. Chase removed to the Emer- gency Hospital., The ride,- combined with the fresh air, revived her before reaching the hospital, and -her condi- tion is not serious. She admitted turning on the gas with suicidal intent and assigns as a reason the fact that her husband, Albert Chase, a seldie deserted her. Mrs. Chase: is a strik- ing brunette of about 23 years of age. —_—————— Representative Men in City, A party of representative men of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island.
