The Soldier Who Shot Down Private
Kelly is Pardoned.

On a Six Vcars Sentence and Then dot His Lib
erty-Miss Mary Kelly, a Sister of
the Deceased, Writes to
The Banner.
Sergeant Becker, who shot and killed
Private James J. Kelly at Camp Haskell
in this city last fall, has been pardoned
after serving but a brief portion of his
six years sentence.
This information comes to the Banner
through a letter from Miss Mary Kelly,
a sister of the murdered man. If the
department has taken any Buch action it
is placing human life at very cheap flg-
\
urea.
Private Kelly was shot by Sergeant
Becker while the latter was under the
influence of whisky. Kelly was in no
way interfering with Becker and met
his death without any provocation, at
the hands of a drunken soldier.
Miss Kelly in her letter asks the Ban
ner to return the thanks of her family
to all those who had been kind to her
brother and especially to the ladies who
placed flowers on his casket, Mrs. W. F.
Dorsey, Mrs. H. A. Dow ranee, Mrs. J.
N. Webb, Mrs. R. L. Moss, Mrs. M. L.
Henley, Mrs. Geo C. Thomas, Mrs. E.
K. Lnmpkin, Miss Rosa Vonderlieth,
and Miss C. B. Durham.
She also wishes to thank one of the
doctors of Athens who took five of the
toys to dinner the first Sunday they
arrived, her brother being among the
number.

the Issue.
Cleveland, O . March 33.—Senator M.
H. Teller, of Colorado, was asked here
today what, in his judgment, would be
the democratic issue in the next presi
dential campaign.
“I think there is no doubt,” replied
Senator Teller, "that the democratic
party will make the financial question
the issue.”
•Who will be the democratic presi
dential nominee?”
‘•Undoubtedly Mr. Bryan will be the
choice of his party,” promptly replied
the senator.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble ; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
viuciug proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
WHAT TO DO,
State Eutomologist Says the Georgia Crop
Will be a Failure.
Macon, Ga., March 23.—Tne consen
sus of opinion is that the fruit crop is a
total failure. This sounds like an old
story, bnt from time to time there bobs
up a report from some place, ambitions
to be considered the heaven favored lo
cation for peach growing and claiming
immunity from frost, such as did the
sharks in Florida long ago before
their fallacies were exploded, scattering
to the four winds the suckers small and
large that had swallowed their be whis
kered tales.
And today the same effect is being
made to make it appear that the fruit
crop has been saved in some sections.
But the truth came out at the meeting
of the fruit growers here yesterday. The
men who own the orchards, one and all,
said that the crop was gone. Some few
of them said that from places not repre
sented came the report that there were
peaches galore, bnt there was no one
there to testify on anythin? bnt the
most common and unsubstantial hearsay
evidence.

Kansas City, Mo., March 23.—Interest
in the claim to the $2,000,000 estate of

Stetson. Both Stetson and his wife
died in Boston without leaving wills.
According to Mrs. Shirley the Stetson

As we promised in the Banner last
week we now give one of the lectures
on art given by Mr. C. E Bentheim,
who has opened a studio at No. 15,
Broad street, to the school teachers at
the Washington Street school.
Professor Bond, with a few compli
mentary remarks, introduced Mr. Ben
theim, who in connection with his
demonstration in modelling gave a few
practical hints on art in general read
ing, at the same time a few historical
facts on art which made his lecture both
interesting and instructive.
Mr. Bentheim remarked that the ob
ject a teacher should have in view is to
clear away some difficulties for the stu
dent that may have seemed serious and
bring matters down to a practical work
ing basis by showing that though the
effect produced may be wonderful as we
notice it in the works of the great mas
ters the means by which that end is
reached are entirely simple and capable
of being taught.
Early Egyptian sculptures from itb p
rude limbless blocks developed into re
liefs—or representations of forms on a
flat surface and from intaglio repre
sentations on obelisks to onr modern,
almost perfect, copper, wood and steel
engravings. Mentioning intaglio—for
those who may not have seen an obelisk
it may be mentioned that intaglio repre
sentation is cutting forms into stone or
marble, sinking them below the surface.
The Egyptian forefathers were con
tent with mere mass of hugeness of
which the great temple of Karnak built
by Sesortris 1388 B. C., and the two
obelisks which a funny old Roman gen
eral called Cleopatra’s needles, are spec
imens, but their proportions were im
proper and their perspective incorrect.
Although it was left to future genera
tions to bring works of art to such mar
vellous perfection yet their works were
great by the mere force of their monot
ony and vastness, their very unnatural
ness made them terrible and by the con
spiracy of the priests the crednlous
devotees of their religion saw in them
powerful gods.
Thus it was that religion gave birth
to sculture and scnlptnre was identified
with religion, the poets conjured celes
tial abstraction, and love and battle
scenes gav6 the scnlptor food for
thought which he then made palpable
in stone.
The monuments of the Egyptians
show their belief in a future life. He
worshipped the gods in stone and we
owe the sculptors of those early ages
debt of gratitude for having given les
sons in stone, teaching ns that artists
conld not help themselves believing in
God and fntnre life.
In teaching rules of art it most not be
forgotten that rales are bnt the tests
Detail and finish are secondary with the
painter, bnt they are of great import
ance to the scnlptor. Every part must,
be decided, every form feature or fold
must be accentuated, thought out and
finished and assigned its trne valne in
reference to the general composition. A
few practical lessons in the studio of a
scnlptor or occasional guidance under
his eye will be far more instructive than
the most complete work that can be
written.
Parity of conception and simplicity of
treatment in sculpture are sheet an
chore and the abandonment of which
must lead to artistic shipwreck. The
gods and goddesses were personified
graces and attributes, and by allying
perfect form with lofty motive they im
pressed the beholder with a great moral
troth. Bnt if yon reflect, you will sde
that there is no need for yon to repair
to that exhausted spring for inspiration;
for in the pages of Holy Writ
and the creations of Christian po*try
there is more than a Homeric concourse
of pore lofty and god-like personages
for his selection. In such subjects his
sympathies will be enlisted, bat ha can
infnse no vital spark in a vanished
faith. To be trne to the canon of his
art he mast not be slavishly true to life.
In nature the eye is an orb, its
greatest prominence being at
the pupil. Reproduce this and
apparent blindness will follow. The
artist obtains the effect of vision by flat
tening the orb at the pupil and intensi
fies it by boring holes in the spot were
the pupil should be.
Drawing and modelling from the
round signifies an object as seen in
nature complete and tree of background
as in a statue. • —
The student who studies the beauty,
simplicity and serenity of Phidias’ and
Michael Angelo’s creations will store
his mind with a feeling for parity and
grandeur which will have a far reaching
moral influence over his li^e.
Animation of features under emotion
was the sonl of their craft; the Greek
sculptor was a philosopher and a stu
dent of science as well as an artist and
exeented their works with adoration
and tenderness, and thousands of
maidens, matrons, men and children
made pilgrimages to gaze at their works
and finding in the forms of a lovely
woman in marble something more than
human, the masses were easily per
suaded into believing that they were
goddesses, revealed to artists and into

Mrs. Aurelia C. Rucker, after a brief
illness with that dread disease, passed
away yesterday morning at one o’clock

she relapsed into a severe case of pneu

the physician.
Mrs. Rncker was a grand-niece of
John O. Calhoun, of Sonth Carolina.
She leaves no children. _
Mrs. Rncker was a consistent member
of the Episcopal church and was very
much attached to it. She was a conse
crated woman, possessing the rarest
traits of wcmanly character and num
bering her friends by the hundreds.
Her death falls as a heavy and abiding
grief upon her relatives and to them the
sympathies of hosts of friends are ex
tended.
The funeral of Mrs Rncker will be
held-tliis afternoon at one o’clock at
Emmanuel Episcopal chnrch and the
services will be conducted by Rev. Troy
