Bean eating painter sticks to ideals in face of bribes
A friend recalls Arnold Bocklin as a young artist who married a poor Roman girl and refused to alter a landscape for a wealthy German merchant, despite nearly one thousand dollars offered. The anecdote contrasts his integrity with later jests and historical notes on yeast, health, and a two headed sword used by Godfrey of Bouillon at Antioch.

War News From The Santiago Front In Review
The week brought limited fighting but troop movements dominate coverage as Gen Shafter leads 16,000 toward Santiago with two landing points to strike the rear and flanks. Navy bombardment precedes landings at Juragua while Gen Merritt and Gen Otis await further orders for campaigns in the Philippines. A curious law note references Schneider versus Hosier, criticizing a man’s modest income and family support as a social measure, and a feature outlines the pneumatophor an Austrian breathing apparatus using oxygen and caustic soda to aid workers in toxic environments.
