Jean Baptiste Isabey: The Little Court Painter
By Chris Maine
Art Historians only too recently have attempted to fully come to terms with the works of the famous Neo-Classical artist Jaques Louis David. Searching for a place in history to place both David and his works into social context, these so-called historians have often overlooked the significant contributions of several of David's contemporaries. Men such as Jean Baptiste Isabey, François Gerard, and Louis Leopold Boilly. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the often overlooked life of one of these men, Jean Baptiste Isabey. To show how Isabey's distinguished career perhaps even rivalled that of master David and exhibited just as profound an influence upon his contemporaries, culminating in the salon of 1798.
The last and second surviving child of seven, tradition in Nancy, the province where Jean Baptiste Isabey was born in 1767, decreed him to belong to the King and to future greatness. "He was destined to royal service, il appartenait au roi." Friends and neighbors urged that the child born with the birthmark in the shape of a fleur de lis might receive a baton someday, who knew? His father Jaques Isabey, a bourgeois philosopher, wished his son to be neither servant nor soldier of the King. So Jaques Isabey decided he would educate his sons as best he could. Opening a small grocery store, he decided both should follow the arts, one would be a musician, the other a famous painter. Louis was chosen to be the painter and Jean Baptiste the musician. Jean Baptiste developed a love for music but struggled frequently, for up to two years with the violin which he came to despise, and which refused to produce music for him from its taut strings. Quickly becoming irritable when watching his brother wreak havoc with a box of drawing materials, several quarrels developed and eventually it occurred to their father that maybe he had made a mistake. Questioning his sons, Jaques Isabey found that both secretly coveted the other's chosen role.
So it was that, Jean Baptiste immediately produced several drawings, one of which, showed tremendous promise. Being a pupil of Claudot at the time, Isabey's drawing of Pegasus in a chariot with four horses on a winged flight to heaven, expressed vivid life, action, and surety of touch, all things to marvel at, and he was only twelve years old! Neighborhood interest instantly centered on Jean Baptiste. Osmond states: "The old lady's in the quartier in Nancy used to lie in wait for him at odd corners in order to seize him, and verify, if possible the tradition of his birthmark. These crones watched his career with great interest, and they prophesied great things for him... He related in his personal diary it was irksome to him as a small boy."
Isabey hated ugliness, to him beauty was the breath of life. Born at a time when an artist could achieve social eminence irrespective of birth status or money. Isabey worked hopefully and happily, looking toward the day when he might start for Paris, and possibly become the pupil of the great new master, Jaques Louis David. Residing at home, the artist must have indeed sometimes felt cramped in his low ceiled, brick walled house, with a modest living room, and stone floor. His personal bedroom compared to a modern day closet, was no more than six square feet wide. None the less, Isabey progressed in his studies, learning to paint landscapes with Giradet and Claudot. Managing to scrimp and save he could earn merely enough to pay for his lessons with Claudot. By seventeen Isabey had gained some local notoriety by decorating the town hall of Nancy, the walls of a neighboring noble's chateaux, and by painting a few memorable miniatures. As for technique, and color, Isabey had to learn from the artists with whom he worked, from nature, or from that which was within him. There were no "old masters" to study in France. And for the student who couldn't journey to Rome or Holland, there were no galleries in which to gain inspiration.
David's reputation had spread throughout France, due to his "Oath of the Horatii" (1785), and Isabey placed his faith and destiny in him. Everyday Isabey heard the stories of how the master's studio in the Louvre became overcrowded with noble's eager to see the latest picture which, the critics declared, breathed the spirit of the ancients. David represented that which was new and Isabey someday hoped to paint historical pictures like those of the master.
Falling in love at age eighteen, and spurned badly, Isabey fell into a period of brooding, refusing to eat and work, and spent his days wandering and hatching bizarre schemes of revenge. His father seeing his hopes for his son's greatness dissolving in front of him, resolved to send the young man to Paris immediately at all costs. The neighborhood contributed and eventually quite a large sum was collected, but it was not enough. Once again Isabey's good fortune paid off and his mother who had taken years to save six Louis gave them to her son, with tears in his eyes Jean Baptiste promised to work hard and to repay it. His mother was never to be dissatisfied by his career.
Arriving in Paris in 1786 he was disappointed to find master David departing for Rome. Given both letters of introduction to David, and to Dumont, who came from the same province, Isabey called on the latter considered to be the "premier peintre en miniature de la reine." "I can do nothing for you,' he said. ' I do not take pupils for miniature." But Dumont upon seeing Isabey's discouraged face, offered him the address of a local studio where models were available and where he sometimes visited.
Fired by the splendor witnessed at Dumont's residence and wishing the same for himself Isabey immediately sought out the location of the studio. His funds diminishing rapidly for studio fees and the necessaries of life, he quickly established a small clientele in the area of St. Denis painting copies of Vanloo and Boucher on the lids of snuffboxes and on buttons made of ivory for five francs a piece. These buttons and snuffboxes, despised by Isabey, represented an art which was still fashionable, and which a celebrated artist like Boucher and Fragonard had produced in earlier years. Portraiture in miniature had reached its height under the reign of Louis the XVI, when all were eager to acquire replicas of themselves.
Upon returning home in 1787 after the death of his father, Jean Baptiste resumed to fulfill his good fortune and destiny in Paris. Returning to Paris a friend from the studio, who's father was maitre d'hotel to the marquis de Serant, at Versailles, offered to share a small room with Isabey near the Louvre. It was to be this decision which sealed Isabey's future. One of Isabey's miniatures was shown to his friend's father who knew the marquis had been given permission by the Queen to locate someone inexpensive who could secretly paint portraits of the comtesse d'Artois' two small sons onto a snuffbox. This was to be a birthday gift from Queen Marie Antoinette who demanded on someone who could be relied upon to paint a good likeness? As a result Isabey received his first commission.
While secretly working at Versailles Isabey was befriended by the comte d'Artois (the king's brother) who frequently came to supervise the works progress. One day he attended by the Queen herself entered the chamber where Isabey was working and both seeing Isabey's nervousness praised him on his talents. A couple of days later Isabey received his second commission from the Queen to alter a part of the costume in one of her portraits painted by Sicardi. Jean Baptiste's manners were simple and unaffected, he revered and adored the noblesse, whom he considered the only real patrons of art. Soon after the Queen sat for him wanting a portrait redone in miniature and Isabey becoming a favorite with everyone, was designated the "little court painter."
Isabey was soon absorbed into court life and often found himself designing fancy dresses, or giving drawing lessons to the court ladies. He had achieved fame greater than that of Dumont, who had embarrassed him with his splendor not so very long before. Osmond states: "One would suppose from Isabey's journal that there was no trouble brewing behind the scenes, but then, from his point of view the revolutionary menace was merely political... he confesses more time was spent in pleasure than at work."
Eventually Isabey felt the need to further his career realizing that this adventure would not take him very far. He still had much to learn. What could he add to the art of miniature? Though he had rivalled Dumont and Sicardi dare he challenge the master of that genre, Pierre Adolphe Hall, he doubted he could surpass them all. But fortune once again smiled on Isabey as the art of painting miniature portraits on ivory was soon rive gauche. Isabey still thought that David had made the grand new statement in his classic pictures, and he had heard that David was returning from his travels.
His reputation counted little with David who was already steeped in revolutionary doctrine, but he perceived in Isabey an artist who could go far. And known for selecting only those pupils who showed promise, Isabey was fortunate to be accepted among the likes of Girodet, Gros, Fabre and Robert, comrades and pupils of the master. Pupils were required to pay David eighty francs a month, a sum which Jean Baptiste found hard to come by. The Queen continued to grant Isabey commissions which enabled Isabey to pay David's fees. Osmond states David took note of it asking: "Why do you go there so often? He asked. "You leave reality and the serious study of art behind when you visit that frivolous Court... Isabey explained that he went there in order to execute commissions to paint miniatures."
David upon hearing Isabey's explanation that he did not wish to be a miniature painter, but that he did so to pay David's fees, forbade his pupil to pay any fees at all. Ironically none of these miniatures have survived. After the Revolution of 1789 Isabey devoted himself to his craft. Isabey admired and revered the master, and he worked hard, drawing from models and copying David's pictures. Isabey painted most of the accessories in David's picture of "Paris and Helen," which was hung in the Salon of year 1789. David had started to become consumed by the Revolution and his strange obsessions, for love of violence and morbid interest with death. He developed a hatred of the Academy and all it represented. In his mind it became associated with tyranny. Osmond quotes David's comments with respect to the Academy: "The Academy is like a wigmaker's shop"..."One can't get away from it without spoiling ones' coat with powder."
Isabey was content to be an artist. He went on working, paying David's fees, and painting the accessories of all the huge paintings which David now neglected more and more for the Jacobin Club and the Convention. It was to save time that Isabey developed a new technique of painting miniatures in arquelle, transparent watercolor, on paper, with a skill that made the old style on ivory seem stiff and artificial. David after seeing one of these works recognized the genius of his pupil. Until now watercolor had always been used with white paint. David said: "I don't know if it is done in oil or vinegar, but it's good; my god, it's good" This from David was high praise"
Yet David still continued to criticize Isabey for his patrons, in the new France of Liberty and Equality there could be no such thing as patronage. Isabey was not interested in the struggle, but wondered. What of Art? He kept away from the studio as much as he dared. Upon hearing of the death of the Queen, Isabey's enthusiasm for David waned.
Near starvation Isabey resolved to spend his last francs on having clean linen. Befriending his laundress he secured a commission from a publisher who was her customer and who wished to have over two hundred portraits completed of members of the Convention. The black and white sketches were so good that the artist was sought out by the men of the new Republic. They came to his studio to get more finished likenesses of themselves. The whole society of Deputies, celebrities, famous and infamous, persons frequented his studio. Isabey while managing to survive wondered how long the Republic itself would survive, for his experiences of the past had taught him not to depend on the future. It was during this time frame that Isabey fell in love with and married Mademoiselle Laurice de Salinnes expecting great success from an exhibition of his drawings and miniatures in the salon of Madame de Stael.
Isabey's studio was soon filled with patrons. Having invented a new form of miniature, naturally there were pupils eager to learn the secrets of arquelle. It was not so easy for others to achieve the same beauty as that attained by the master's hand. With the death of Robespierre society once again relaxed and Isabey became the premiere painter of miniatures. "Never had I found life so pleasurable," wrote Isabey," and never afterwards did I enjoy it so much." His son Eugene was born later in that same year.
An old friend of Isabey's returned to Paris in 1798, and there was a wonderful reunion. This friend was none other than Vigee Le Brun. But Vigee Le Brun longed for the wit and grace of the old regime, its taste suited her well. She was revolted by the vulgarity she saw around her. She made ready for a journey to England, where she had commissions to paint the Prince of Wales and the highest members of English society.
But before she left Paris she exhibited in her studio Isabey's most famous picture, "La Barque," 1798. This was a charming portrait in black and white of the painter, his lovely wife and three angelic children grouped in a boat, drifting on a calm river against a background of clouds and trees. The subject of the picture as well as the management of it, delighted everyone. Domesticity so exquisite charmed the taste of the people weary of the tragedies they had passed through and witnessed. In Madame Le Brun's salon, "Le Barque" was admired by all the distinguished critics and painters of the day. Isabey became the fashion of France.
Isabey not only influenced the times in which in lived, but he had a profound impact on his contemporarie's lives as well. Susan L. Siegfried, in her work The Art of Louis Leopold Boilly: Modern Life in Napoleonic France, states: "Louis Leopold Boilly's seminal work was "A Reunion of the Artists in Isabey's Studio" (Figure 2.) from 1798, which enjoyed so much success that it established the future viability of such subjects in France, not only for Boilly but for later artists as well." Boilly was attempting to show the new influence among the artists of self-determination and Jean Baptiste Isabey exemplified this ideal. Siegfried states: ''The embodiment of the elegant and successful modern artist was Jean-Baptiste Isabey, the nominative subject of Boilly's painting. He was an especially important figure for the 1790's because he was a kind of "self-made" man who represented the expanding ambitions of previously marginalized artists such as Boilly. The unseen work on the easel that one group admires was undoubtedly Isabey and his Family, a highly finished drawing by Isabey that is half genre, half-portrait and represents the artist sketching in a boat with his family, drifting along a river-an idyll of the new family life and also of the romance of art. Exhibited in 1798, this large and elaborate "subject" drawing was an unprecedented Salon entry for a miniaturist." Boilly included all the arts for a total of thirty one figures who now represented the new genre excluding the old masters, such as David. In post-Revolutionary Paris, artists no longer were protected by the Royal Academy and once again became dependent on their own personal talents in order to survive professionally.
Francois Pascal Gerard (1770-1837) befriended Isabey while both attended master Jaques Louis David's studio. Gerard, while David's favorite student, could not live up to his masters standards and so developed his own personal style. This style was according to Walter Friedlander: "The likable, gracious, and elegant character of Gerard's art had no connection either with the political or heroic, and he could not, like David, attain his full stature in those fields...The brutal gestures demanded by his own time were alien to him. Even his large pictures such as the "Belisarius" 1795) contain soft and sentimental features. Gerard's general is a blind old graybeard who has come upon his young emperor wounded by a snake bite ...The whole is set in a broad landscape. The theme is compelling, but complicated and vague. This could be any blind man." Gerard while not known as a portraitist produced some of his best work early on in his career. "Isabey with his daughter" [Figure 1.], is among one of his best. Walter Friedlander states: "Here his work is still free and graceful, though obviously without David's additional strength and directness. For this very reason, however, Gerard retained the favor of "society". Mme. Recamier for example, was not pleased with David's portrait of her...Gerard made her much more feminine and sentimental,...it was all so much more conventional that the classicism was reduced to a mannered style, with none of the intensity of David's conception."
This work was based on a drawing conducted by Isabey and was done as repayment for Isabey's purchase of Gerard's first work, Belisarius, for which Gerard could not find a buyer. The portrait is of Isabey holding his daughter Alexandrine by the hand. Alexandrine, as was the high style of the day, is dressed as a grown woman would be in an ankle length high-wasted gown. Her father slim and elegant, with a curl on his forehead, wears a short coat and tall tasselled boots. There is a friendly dog in the picture, and through the open door a view of a staircase, a simple flight of stairs without ornately carved rails or balusters. Under the Empire Gerard became the court painter and gained the title, peintre de roi. He had the most elegant salon in Paris and was known to be much more a painter of women. "Cupid and Psyche" was Gerard's best known work. When shown in the 1798 salon it received acclaim, but was widely criticized as being too affected and metaphysique.
Isabey found it difficult to cope with the number of people who desired to be painted by him. It was at this time that, in order to satisfy the demands made upon his energy, he perfected the method of the arquelle, thus creating a style all his own, and a medium that suited his talent. The majority of miniaturists until that time had painted on ivory, leaving the flesh tints transparent, and working the background and accessories with gouache, watercolor made solid with a mixture of white. The surface of ivory, being difficult to retouch with paint, requires an amount of labor, trying the patience of the artist and the sitter. The use of ivory for the art of the miniature belonged to more leisured days. Isabey had an excellent touch with watercolor on paper, and was thus able to avoid the tedium and finish that would have prevented him from executing the great number of commissions he received. For the same reason he suppressed all accessories, and even backgrounds, giving only a cloudy touch of color which melted into the creamy tint of the paper. His idea was to make a faithful portrait rather than a fancy picture, but he cannot be accused of harsh realism, for his clients were all very pleased with their portraits. Three known portraits of Isabey at an advanced age are known to exist, each giving its own impression as to his diverse personality. One of them, by Horace Vernet could be seen at the Louvre, another by Princesse Mathilde was once at the Musee Carnavalet, the last is a drawing by Isabey's own son Eugene. Carrying a sketchbook and a pencil. The elderly gentleman wearing trousers and a morning coat, gives one no feeling of the man of genius, the little Court favorite. He is merely represented by Eugene as a father, not as a famous painter. Horace Vernet, on the other hand portrayed a grand old man grayed with eyes full of observation and understanding and on his breast a single touch of red, to symbolize the ribbon of the legion d' honneur. Princesse Mathilde shows the aged face of Isabey, still with shining eyes, and with a sweetness about him. This was the Isabey of the chateaux, of the Salons, adorer and adored. Was Isabey in fact a combination of all these portraits? "Isabey has been called the faithful historian of his models...Isabey loved his art, he loved it so much that when he perceived his work was falling from the high level which he had kept it so long, with rare courage and determination he laid aside his brushes and colours, and thus spared himself and others the pain of seeing its decadence."
Isabey feared that a race of man was evolving which had become blind to beauty, taste and perception. Fantasy and glamour were fading out, but ideas, discoveries and inventions were taking their place. The worst of these numerous inventions in Isabey's eyes, was photography, because it lead people to believe that these pictures presented them with a perfect likeness. To an artist such as Isabey photos were hideous, they somehow missed the individuality, the life, the soul of the person portrayed. The miniaturist painter was no longer needed thanks to M. Daguerre, discovering his own process, which he called by his own name, and so by making the daguerreotype envogue, gave the death blow to miniature art and to men who had influenced their age, such as the little court painter Jean Baptiste Isabey.

The possibility that there was an email-hacking scandal brewing at The Times first emerged in a few lines of written evidence published by the Leveson Inquiry on 10 January, and exploded yesterday as Times editor and News International issued a comprehensive mea culpa about the affair.
Here is a recap of how the story emerged:
10 January, 2012: Press Gazette reported on a few lines found in the otherwise innocuous witness statement of News International’s interim legal director Simon Toms (Toms is on secondment to NI from Allen and Overy).
In response to one of the stock questions about computer-hacking, Toms said:
I am not aware that any NI title has ever used or commissioned anyone who used ‘computer hacking’ in order to source stories.
I have been made aware of one instance on The Times in 2009 which I understand may have involved a journalist attempting to access information in this way.
However, I also understand that this was an act of the journalist and was not authorised by TNL. As such, I understand it resulted in the journalist concerned being disciplined.
The next revelations came in statements provided by News International chief executive Tom Mockridge and Times editor James Harding published by the Leveson Inquiry on 17 January.
I shall restrict my response to this question to my knowledge of The Sunday Times and The Sun.
Neither I nor, to the best of my knowledge, The Sunday Times or The Sun has ever used or commissioned anyone who used “computer hacking” in order to source stories or for any other reason. In relation to The Times, I am aware of an incident in 2009 where there was a suspicion that a reporter on The Times might have gained unauthorised access to a computer, although the reporter in question denied it. I understand that that person was given a formal written warning as a result and that they were subsequently dismissed following an unrelated incident.
The Times has never used or commissioned anyone who used computer hacking to source stories. There was an incident where the newsroom was concerned that a reporter had gained unauthorised access to an email account. When it was brought to my attention, the joumalist faced disciplinary action. The reporter believed he was seeking to gain information in the public interest but we took the view he had fallen short of what was expected of a Times journalist. He was issued with a formal written warning for professional misconduct.
Harding was not questioned about computer-hacking on his first appearance before the inquiry that day, but Mockridge was:
Robert Jay QC: Can I ask you to clarify paragraph five. This is the access to a computer by a reporter at the Times. Are we talking about an internal computer or are we talking about a third party’s computer?
Mockridge: I believe it was a third-party computer.
Jay: Are there any specific issues which have caused you concern since you took over as chief executive officer ouside the ambit of phone hacking, issues which you’ve discovered which you would like to draw to the inquiry’s attention?
Mockridge: I don’t think there’s anything I would draw to the inquiry’s attention separately from the investigations [carried out by the Management and Standards Committee] which are progressing and which I think in time results of which will be notified to the authority – to the inquiry.
On January 19, The Times published a story headlined: The Times and the Nightjack case in (£) in which it said:
The role the hacking played in Mr Foster’s investigation remains unclear. Mr Foster identified Mr Horton using a legitimate process of deduction based on sources and information publicly available on the internet.
In that story Harding said:
The newspaper published the story in the strong belief that it was in the public interest even though concerns emerged about the conduct of the reporter. After the judge handed down his judgment overturning the injunction on the grounds of public interest, we published.
Blogger David Allen Green has been scrutinising the Nightjack affair, and particularly the apparent concealment of email-hacking from Mr Justice Eady’s interim injunction hearing in 2009.
The same day that Allen Green appeared before Leveson, on 25 January, a letter to the inquiry was read out from Harding.
In it Harding said:
When the reporter informed his manager that in the course of his investigation he had, on his own initiative, sought unauthorised access to an email account he was told that if he wanted to pursue the story he had to use legitimate means to do so.
He did, identifying the person at the heart of the story using his own sources and information publicly available from the internet. On that basis we made the case in the High Court that the newspaper should be allowed to publish in the public interest. After the judge ruled that we could publish in the public interest we did.
Allen Green told the inquiry:
It seems to me that if you have used an email hack as part of an investigation you can’t artificially pretend you never did that. You will use that information as part of solving the puzzle which you have set yourself.
What seems to me to have gone wrong is that at the time it wasn’t very clear to the managers the role of the hacking that had taken place, and the Times said itself that they are unclear as to the role – actual role – although they have assured that the identification had been above board.
My one concern is that this should have been put to the court at the injunction application.
Yesterday, as the full details of the Nightjack affair were laid bare after a trawl through email records by News Corp’s Management and Standards Committee over the last two weeks, it turned out that Allen Green was completely right.

How Breastfeeding Benefits Mothers' Health:
Feeding infants with breast milk has been shown to improve the babies health and even IQ, but the benefits of breastfeeding also appear to stay with mothers for years to come, lowering risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Here are a few benefits of breastfeeding for moms:
Mothers who breastfeed recover from childbirth more quickly and easily. The hormone oxytocin, released during breastfeeding, acts to return the uterus to its regular size more quickly and can reduce postpartum bleeding.
Studies show that women who have breastfed experience reduced rates of breast and ovarian cancer later in life.
Some studies have found that breastfeeding may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Exclusive breastfeeding delays the return of the mother’s menstrual period, which can help extend the time between pregnancies. Exclusive breastfeeding can provide a natural form of contraception.
Since you don't have to buy and measure formula, sterilize nipples, or warm bottles, it saves you time and money. It also gives you regular time to relax quietly with your newborn as you bond.
Oxytocin also has an antidepressant effect. One study found that mothers who had higher levels of the hormone had fewer anxiety and depression symptoms. In fact, for as long as you continue to breastfeed, oxytocin will help you feel calm, reduce stress and blood pressure, and even raise your pain threshold.
Get more sleep when you breastfeed. When your baby wakes for milk at night, breastfeeding tends to be the quickest, easiest way of feeding him. You can even do it lying down! And the oxytocin and other hormones released during breastfeeding should help both of you doze off again quickly afterwards.


Rental company Boels has expanded its fleet with new stationary lighting masts and balloon lighting masts from manufacturer Trime.
Boels said the latest additions to its fleet – which Trime produced exclusively for Boels - were more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and quieter than their predecessors. It said they were durable, offered low fuel consumption and noise output.
The new stationary lighting mast boasts a hydraulic mast and four 300-Watt LEDs and can illuminate 3900m² (with 5 Lux), offering an autonomous operating time of 600 hours from its diesel engine.
The built-in timer and light sensor also allow the mast to be switched on automatically, while the hoisting eye and fork pockets on all sides make the lighting mast easy to move with a crane and forklift truck.
Boels said the stationary lighting masts were well-suited for a range of uses, including building sites, at industrial plants, during events and in car parks and ports.
Meanwhile, the new stationary balloon lighting mast is a carbon-neutral 600-Watt LED balloon that produces non-blinding clear light in a 360o arc.
Two models of the product are available: the battery-pack model (with a minimum operating time of 50 hours), and the (230 V) electrically powered model. Both models can be configured to switch on and off automatically.

I took a moment to sit down with myself to talk about the Graduate Student Affinity Group (GSAG) of the AAG.
Q: What is the GSAG…
A: The GSAG is an affinity group of the AAG that seeks to support Geography students in the AAG, and where possible, students at large.Ã‚Â We are about to enter our fifth year and our growth so far has been very promising.
Q: Who can benefit from the GSAG
A: We hope that everyone, at least in some way, benefits from the GSAG.Ã‚Â Among the AAG membership we focus on grad students, but these students will some day be professionals in the field and, of course, there are many undergrads out there now who will be going into grad school.Ã‚Â This cross-over means that we have members from each level of Geography.
Q: Is there anything you would like to point out for this years AAG meeting…
A: Yeah, I would like to encourage everyone to attend our sponsored panel session and our business meeting Wednesday night at 7pm.Ã‚Â We have had a nucleus of active members to date, and I think it would be great for others to become involved, both for the GSAG and for the individuals themselves.
Q: Thanks for answering questions for us today.
A: No, thank you.Ã‚Â We just want to get the word out.

L-. I. Z. Rlrls, thn lending nororlty at
Occidental college, to daro to do so. One
of the avowed objects of the organiza
tion Is to discourage matrimony amonir
Its members. Individually, the feeling
may be In favor of tho yoked life; col-
Ipctlvely, to tho last girl, they arc
against it. With this Idea in mind, onn
of the first rules made by thn sorority
was that any member breaking tho vow
of splnsterhood Hhoul.l be lined an oys
ter supper for all tho otliern. ThlH
awful penalty had provod a deterring
power until Miss McCready dared to
Incur it. Now thcro Is no telling how
many will follow tho demoralizing ex
am pi p.
Miss McCready will give tho oyster
wupper at tho homo of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. A. W. McCready, 818 Caron
dolet street, on tho ovenlng of Decem

of affairs In honor of her marriage to
John O. Htaun, which will take place
.January 3. Kor this event, that will
crown all thn others, great preparation

cidental, and the Interest In her ap
proaching marriage Is general through

groom, Is coming home from Wellesley
college to attend the bride, and Mlsa

down from Berkeley for the ceremony.
On tho evening of December 22 the
Tj. I. 55. girls will give a reception in

members have 3ummer homes. On the
second day Mr. Staub and the young

This will be the lust of the festivities

IMPRISONED BY DEAD BEAR
Carcass of Bruin Prevents the Exit
of His Slayer From the
Special to Tho HeraicL
1 SNOWSHOE, Pa., Dec. 2.— Penned
4n a cave for two days by a big bear
which he had shot and could not move.
Dr. Walter Kurtz of Howard was a
prisoner , who gladly welcomed a
searching party which today came
within sound of his voice. While im
prisoned he killed two more bears —
cubs which had attacked him after
their mother had been shot.
Dr. Kurtz was hunting when he
found bear tracks leading Into a cave.
He crawled into the hole on his hands
and knees. His eyes had not become
accustomed to the darkness before he
heard the grunt of a bear. As Bruin
run past him toward the mouth of the
cave he fired, and the bear fell, block
ing the passage. Tha carcass was so
heavy thnt the physician could not
move it. Suddenly two cubs appeared,
and they, too, were killed.
•WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body | n Henllk aud
The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of us tho early days when
our mothers and grandmothers gave
ub our dally dose of sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall.
' It was the universal spring and fall
Vblood purliier," tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old-fashioned rem-
edy was 'not without merit
. The Idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and \
large quantity had to be taken to get
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con -
r(;ntrated form, bo that a single grain
1s far more effective than a table-
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and ex-
periment have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that ob-
tained from Calcium (Calcium Sul-
phide) and sold In drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers.
They are small chocolate-coated pel-
Icts 1 and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con-
centrated, effective form.
. Few people are aware of tho value
of this form of sulphur in restoring 1
und maintaining bodily vigor and
health: sulphur acts directly on the
liver, and excretory organs and puri-
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
WiHses every spring und full, but the
crudity und Impurity of ordinary flow-
ers of sulphur wero aften worse than
tho disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Wafers is undoubtedly tho best and
most widely used.
They ure the natural antidote for
liver and *kldney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in
a way that ufteu surprises patient niid
Dr. It. M. Wilklna while experiment-
Ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was
superior to uny other form. He says:
"Kor kidney, liver und blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti-
pation or niuluriu, I have been sur-
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients
suffering from boils und pimpled and
even deep-seated carbuncles, I hnve
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis-
appear In four or live days, leaving
the skin clear und smooth. Although
Stuurt's Ci)lulum Wafer* is v proprle-
tary article, und sold by druggists,
und for thut reuson tabooed by muny
physlcluns, yet I know of nothing
hii safe und reliable for t'oustlputlon,
liver und kidney troubles und espe-
cially in all forms of sklii disease us
l his remedy."
At any rate people who are tired of
pills, cuthurtlcH and so-called blood
"liurlfM'S," will flud in .Stuart's Cal-
cium Wafers v far safer, more inUti-
tahlu und effective preparation '

That Pledge to Maintain Church
Along Original Lines Has Been
By Ansnclated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.— Rev. R. C.
Fllllngham, vicar of Hexton, England,
who a year ago violently attacked
Bishop Potter, returned here last night
to expound a new cult which he calla
•The New Liberal Movement In lle-
He Bays It was a success In Georgia,
and tomorrow night he will tell what
It Is at a public meeting which he
Dr. Fllllngham said last night that
he would take action against
Bishop Potter before both the law
courts and the ecclesiastical courts,
charging him with receiving moneys
under false pretense. Explaining this
atlon, tho vicar said:
"I have not given up my fight
against ritualism in our church, not
withstanding the fact that I am now
promulgating a new religious move
ment to do away with dogma and ritu
alism. I want to see ritualism driven
from the sanctuaries of our church,
and will always work to that end.
Now, it should be known that every
bishop In the Protestant Episcopal
church, at his consecration, takes an
oath to preserve the church along the
lines it was founded. It was founded
as a protest against this very thing I
am fighting, high churchlsm, ritual
ism, confessionals and the like. Bishop
Potter, I maintain, has violated this
pledge, and by receiving moneys to
keep such churches as St. Mary the
Virgin, St. Ignatius and others, takes
such money under a false pretense.
Hence, my proposed action."

Srwelnl to The Herald.
PAWTUCKET, K. 1., Dec. 2 —
Awakening from a frightful dream. In
which Bhe was struggling with a mon
strous creature. Miss Frances Robinson
discovered, to her added horror, that
her head was turned, immovably, over
her right shoulder.
At the Instant, too, the girl, who Is
20 yeai'B old, felt agonizing pain in her
shoulder and back. Her cries aroused
her family, who suspecting that she
had a sudden attack of neuralgia or
rheumatism, applied domestic remedies
In the hope of relieving her.
Miss Robinson's suffering and dread
increased, for she could not turn her
head again Into Its natural position.
Dr. Joseph E. Duxbury was called to
her home, No. 34 Parker street. Central
Falls. The doctor found that, In the
struggle of her dream the young wo
man had twisted her head so suddenly
and violently that she had dislocated I
one of the topmost vertebrae of her
spinal column — a cervical vertebra
one in her neck.
Dr. Duxbury told Miss Robinson's
family that he must try immediately !
to reduce the dislocation, to set the '
bone in Its place. He warned the
family that the operation was as dan
gerous as delicate and that should thb
vertebra, In the attempt to replace It,
press on the girl's spinal cord, paraly
sis certainly, and death possibly, would
follow. « . j
Miss Robinson eagerly consented.
The doctor, using some force, overcame
the distorted muscles in his patient's
neck, and with a "click" the bone slip
ped into its place. The girl has re
covered save that her neck "Is sore,"
Dr. Duxbury says the surgeries con
tain many cases of vertebrae dislo
cated by violence, such as falls, but
he has never read of such a displace
ment caused by the muscles' own vio

English Poet John Milton said “Good, the more communicated, more abundant grows.”
The same applies to knowledge. Knowledge sharing is a collaborative and win-win process. It is not competition or zero sum as some may led to believe. Looking at the amount of the knowledge shared online and how much discussions follow, it is truly catalytic and omnipotent.
Understand in business there are situations where competition “triumphs” over collaboration, and thinking win-win could lead to criticism. After all, isn’t survival the fittest?
Nothing can be further from the truth.
Even the Olympics, the epitome of all competitions, demonstrates the spirit of collaboration in its motto: Faster – Higher – Stronger. Business has to take the long view, explore strategic partnership, and join the team in order to survive, let alone prospers.
So here is Mr. Milton’s quote rephrased; Knowledge, the more shared, more abundant grows.


Born out of wedlock
By David Walker, Attorney at Law
In Georgia, legitimation allows the biological father to be recognized by law as the legal father when a child is born out of wedlock. The biological father may file a petition for legitimation of the child. The superior and juvenile courts have concurrent jurisdiction in legitimation cases. The superior court has general jurisdiction but the juvenile court may become the proper court in certain circumstances.


My Plushie Eyrie
My story starts one evening when I noticed I was fading... But no, I suppose I should start right at the beginning. My name is Ploushy and I am a plushie Eyrie. It wasn't always that way, however. Once upon a time I was created as a green Eyrie.
I came into the world, blinking, unsure of everything around me. I was put quickly at ease, however, by the gentle, loving arms of the girl who embraced me, telling me that she was my owner and that I was to come and live with her.
Her house was small, her means modest, but we were happy. We dreamed of many things, not the least of which was turning me into a plushie. It was what she wanted most, and I wanted it too. She worked hard playing games to earn neopoints, and I did everything I could around the house so that she wouldn't have to.
But as has happened to so many forgotten pets, my girl began to grow up. She spent less time with me and more time with her friends. Soon she stopped playing games in favour of shopping trips. Eventually our goals had been forgotten and she packed up her things, going off to a place called College and leaving me alone in the house.
I won't bore you with the details of how hard it was to be without any owner. The days of waiting for her return soon turned into weeks. The weeks eventually turned into months, and those turned into years. Although I was green on the outside I was a plushie at heart and the most important thing, to a plushie, is make someone happy. I had no one to make happy; I was miserable. My girl had abandoned me.
I was able to live for a long time off of the savings that my girl had left behind, my dream of being a true plushie growing more and more distant with every meal. Eventually, however, the savings all but ran out, and I was forced to start making trips to the Soup Kitchen. I tried going to the Pound in hopes of being adopted into a new home but since I still technically had an owner they would not accept me.
Life became a blur of sadness. When I went to the Soup Kitchen I kept my head down and didn't look around me. I couldn't bear to see other pets being loved by their owners. I simply got my soup and left.
The visit of a fire faerie did little to spur me out of my slump. Once, I would have been ecstatic. But when she fluttered down into my path as I was heading back from the Soup Kitchen, her little arms outstretched and bearing a shadow paint brush, I could only think her gift ironic. She insisted that I take it, that it was to lift my spirits. I thought instead that it would cause me to look as gloomy as I felt. I had become nothing more than a shadow in some girl's memory, if even that. How fitting, therefore, that I become a shadow to everyone around me. I took the paint brush to the Rainbow Pool.
As I waited behind a long line of excited pets clinging to their respective paint brushes, I began to look around. It wasn't something I'd done in a long time. Things were different, things had changed.
My turn came and I stepped forward, dipping my paint brush into the magical waters before lifting it over my face, my arms, my wings. The shadowy colour of the brush swept over me and with it a new outlook on things. I didn't want to stay home anymore, pining after an owner that would not return. What I would do instead, I didn't know, but it was time to move on. As my tail turned to black and the paint brush disintegrated, I stepped aside and looked around. Maybe it was time to find out just how much things had changed.
The thing that stood out to me the most, as I slipped silently through Neopia Central, was the clothing everyone wore. I remembered when a simple hat or collar had been the common fashion. Now every pet was decked out from head to paw in every manner of clothing I could imagine and more besides. Much of it was bright and sparkly and clearly quite new. I found myself feeling glad for my shadow colour, which allowed me to move along unnoticed. I felt that I would have looked quite conspicuous otherwise.
I went to the clothing store, thinking I might find something to wear there. I did, and felt much more comfortable when I was properly dressed in a shirt, trousers and jacket. However, they were not the sparkly variety of clothing I had seen everyone else in. As I paid for my new clothes I had to ask the Uni shopkeeper about it.
"Oh, those," she murmured, a hint of spite in her previously chipper voice. "Those are from the mall, you buy them with neocash." She seemed to be afraid that I might start buying clothing there next for she rushed onward. "They're really not all they're cracked up to be. I mean sure they last forever and yes they're eye catching and I suppose they always look good, but they're also gaudy and bright and everyone has the same things. There isn't any uniqueness. Old fashioned neopoint clothing is still the best way to go."
I felt so out of touch. I didn't bother to tell her that I didn't know where the mall was, that I hadn't even known there was a mall. Nor did I tell her that I hadn't the faintest idea what neocash was. I simply took my change, thanked her, and left.
It was shaping up to be a strange evening. Neopia was no longer as I remembered it. How could it have changed so much in only a few years? And how could I have missed all these changes, just by keeping my head down when I walked?
I went to the Games Room. I wanted to find some of my owner's favourite games. I wasn't sure why I went but I suppose I must have been entertaining the faint hope that maybe she would be there, that maybe she'd have missed the fun of it and come back. But her favourite games were gone. Or, if they were still there, I couldn't find them. The Games Room had changed from a little arcade into a bright, bustling metropolis that stunned me as I walked through, half blinded by all the lights and deafened by the music and laughter. I didn't recognize most of the games.
Feeling ever more cut off from everyone and everything around me, I made my way to the trading boards. I lingered outside the Pound, observing with confusion the crowd of people who surged upon the building in a sort of frenzy. I had come with the hope that my new colour might make me more attractive to someone and that I might find a new home. However, no one paid me the slightest bit of attention.
Unable to figure out what had stirred that large a group of owners into such a panic I finally slipped out of my hiding place and approached a woman who stood a little back from the crowd, tapping her on the shoulder to get her attention. "Excuse me, miss. What is happening here?"
"Silly Eyrie, don't you know? Where is your owner?"
I hesitated, unsure of what my owner had to do with her ability to answer my question. But she didn't seem as though she would answer mine until I answered hers. "She left."
"A long, long time ago..."
The woman smiled brightly at me. "Lucky for you then that the purge is happening! Maybe you'll be purged too!"
Purged? I had no idea what that meant. Before I could ask the lady was swept away by the tide of frantic owners.
I retreated, lingering in the background, watching the people. I didn't know what purging meant; it sounded a little frightening. Was it something that was happening to pets, to owners? I wished I knew. Would it happen to me? The lady made it sound like a good thing, but I wasn't so sure.
The crowd continued to buzz about, and I continued to watch them, not noticing at first that something about me had started to change. I didn't realize it until I finally turned and left, meaning to go home. The sun had set, it was dark. I was blending in with the night very well with my new colour, too well in fact.
I stopped and lifted my paw. I could see right through it. My eyes widened in alarm and a yelp escaped me. Not knowing what else to do I took off at a run, trying to get home. My legs were starting to fail me. I tripped on the doorstep to my house and lay still, unable to move my limbs. As I watched, the house became as see-through as my body. It faded into opaqueness and then, in a split second, vanished entirely, leaving an empty lot where everything I had ever known had stood only moments before,
As for me, I continued to dim, turning into a true shadow. I wanted to cry out for help but I had no voice left. There was nothing I could do but weep silently for my owner as I faded into oblivion.
I came into the world, blinking, unsure of everything around me. I was unsure even of myself. Was I real? I had memories, faint, lingering like shadows in the back of my mind. A house, an owner... vanishing. Where was I?
"Hello there." I lifted my head and stared. A girl stood over me, smiling broadly. "I got you!" She had blonde hair and green eyes. She wasn't my owner. Was she? What did she mean she'd gotten me? Where had she gotten me from? Where had I been?
Perhaps she noticed my bewilderment for she laughed. "You poor thing, you must be so confused. Do you remember who you are?"
I had to think about it. "Ploushy," I said finally.
She nodded happily. "That's right! What a good name for a plushie. That's what you'll be someday, a plushie!"
A twinge of fear twisted my heart. I'd heard those words before. I'd heard them from my last owner, the one who had abandoned me. I remembered being abandoned. "Someday?" I asked weakly.
"Yes, someday. Come on, let's get you home. I have to go back to watching names."
The girl led me to her house. I had an awkward time following. I hadn't noticed until I'd started walking and heard a clomping noise that I was no longer an Eyrie. I was a Uni now, a green Uni, and I wasn't used to hooves yet.
The house was a nice one, simple but pretty. I expected to be invited inside, but I wasn't. She led me to a smaller, single story house behind the first; her side account. I was showed in to a little, sparsely furnished room and then left alone.
I sat down on my new bed and listened to the silence. My mind was drifting through memories of my old owner as they came back to me. She'd abandoned me, it was true. But I remembered how it had felt when I'd first gone home with her, how she'd cuddled me and we'd dreamed together. Hot tears welled up in my eyes and spilled down my face. I wanted to be cuddled. I wanted to be loved. I wanted to have someone I could make happy. I wanted to be a plushie.
My new owner was very nice. She kept me and the three other pets who lived in her side account well fed and I had new clothes. But I didn't have her attention and I didn't have her love. She never cuddled me and she never painted me plushie. For the most part I was left to my own devices, and I found myself nearly as sad as I remembered being after my last owner had abandoned me.
Still, I was grateful, at least, to have an owner. And I wasn't prepared for the afternoon when that changed.
I was sitting in a chair, reading a book, when she came in. There was a wide smile on her face as she sat down on my bed, leading forward to talk to me. "Ploushy, I need to tell you about someone."
I set my book aside and leaned forward to listen.
"There is a good friend of mine who worked very hard to get a pet with a name she wanted, a dream name. Only, the owner was very unkind and backed out of their deal at the last minute. She's very sad now, but I think you might be able to cheer her up. You see, she's dreaming of a plushie Eyrie with a great name. Your name isn't bad, and I've been so terrible about painting you myself. I think you might be perfect for each other!"
A cold dread filled me. Another new owner was the last thing I wanted. At least here I had an owner who wasn't going to leave me, even if she didn't give me any attention. I was afraid of someone new, someone worse. Someone who might abandon me again. Purging had been frightening the first time; I didn't think I could handle going through it again. But what could I say, no?
"Great! Come on then, get your things and we'll go see her right away. I already told her I was bringing you to meet her."
I thought about what my owner had said as I followed her from the little house and down the street. This new girl, she'd been trying for a specific name. That meant I would be second choice, a settlement – if she even wanted me at all.
My owner led me to a park near the Rainbow Pool. I looked around at the different owners out with their pets, having picnics or playing ball. I wanted to leave. Instead I was dragged along toward a bench, my stringy tail drooping.
There was a girl seated alone on the bench, her legs crossed neatly, reading a book. She had brown hair which had been pulled up and brown eyes which glanced up and fixed upon me immediately. A pencil was tucked behind one ear.
"There you are! I'd like you to meet Ploushy. Ploushy, this is Jay."
Something about Jay sparked my interest, something in her face, her eyes. She'd been hurt too. Maybe I was second choice, but I could no longer bring myself to feel upset about it. I felt sorry for her. I wanted to make it better.
"Hello," I said, trying to smile. But I was used to having a beak and smiling as a Uni felt strange.
Jay smiled, her mouth twitching upward in amusement as she knelt down to be at my level. "How would you like to be a plushie Eyrie?"
I would have liked it very much, but every previous owner had promised me the same thing. "When?" I asked.
There was a bag that had been sitting at Jay's feet. She pulled it over and opened it just enough to let me see inside. My breath caught in my throat. Inside lay an Eyrie morphing potion and a plushie paint brush.
"How about right now?"
I stared at Jay, then at my owner. My owner smiled at me, perceiving, I supposed, the question on my face. "Jay writes for the Neopian Times, the brush was her end of the year bonus. She wants to use it on you, Ploushy. If that's what you want..."
I didn't hesitate, I nodded, my green mane flying in my face as I bounced my head up and down.
My owner – no, previous owner – laughed. "Alright then, Jay, he's all yours!"
Jay pulled her bag up onto her shoulder and set her hand on my shoulder. "Come on Ploushy." Her words were calm, but her face was glowing. She was as excited as I was.
We went together to the Rainbow Pool and this time I did not have to paint myself. I drank the potion Jay gave me and then closed my eyes, cringing slightly against the strange sensation of morphing. I felt the soft, fluffy brush passing over my new feathers, dripping with water from the rainbow pool.
Then I felt gentle, loving arms embracing me. Jay's voice spoke excitedly, telling me I was hers now and that I would come and live with her forever. I opened my eyes. Jay was grinning from ear to ear, beaming at me. I looked in her eyes. They weren't so sad anymore. She was happy, I had made her happy. I grinned back and snuggled into her arms, loving the way my fabric stretched and my stuffing squished as she held me tighter and danced around with me, making us both laugh.
As promised, Jay took me home. As we approached the front door I felt a momentary twinge of fear, wondering if this was all too good to be true. But it wasn't. Jay carried me up to her room, settling me down on the end of her bed. This was to be my new home, she told me. And I was happy with that. I was too far behind to catch up with the goings on in the outside world and, frankly, I couldn't be bothered. I was much happier to be settled on the end of her bed, playing with her plushie collection when she wasn't around and snuggling up to her when she was.
The purge was undoubtedly the most horrible thing I've ever been through. But everything, purge included, was worth it to end up where I am now: a plushie Eyrie, sitting on the edge of my owner's bed and supporting her head as she scribbles away at some new story for the Neopian Times.
"I think you're going to like this story," she mumbles, writing in the last couple of sentences. I lean forward to see what the story is. I can't help but to smile, pulling the neat stitches in my soft beak upward. The story is mine.
A shout of thanks to the girl who allowed me to adopt Ploushy into my family, you know who you are!

Contract Laser Wire Stripping
For medical device manufacturers or for those with a high-end product with low volumes, we offer an ISO9001 accredited contract wire stripping service. In this regard, we see ourselves not as a supplier, but as a deeply integrated part of your supply chain. Following a standard IQ/OQ/PQ process, we become involved in all stages of the process:
- Initial R&D – where we help you with rapid turnaround samples to develop the basic concepts for your device or component.
- PQ samples – short runs to build sample devices/components for CE marking / FDA validation.
- Ramped up / volume production – by leveraging our expertise and trusting in our knowledge of the process and how the equipment works, you reduce your risk and gain peace of mind.
Using our suite of automated manufacturing solutions, we can offer full production that is both cost-effective and gives the highest quality. You have a choice of the following:
- Continuous periodic stripping of wire supplied on a spool, delivered respooled.
- Discrete stripping and cutting of wire supplied on a spool, delivered as cut and stripped lengths.
- Discrete cutting of pre-cut wire and cable.
You can supply a wire spool, or we can purchase the wire direct, to give you a scalable production solution without risk.
Following are a number of key applications suited to our wire stripping service.
These take many forms and include drug delivery aids, neuro-stimulation electrodes, precision thermocouples, pacemaker electrodes. We can offer to strip and tin these electrodes. Wires can be packaged on a reel or as individual cut lengths.
Micro-Machined Components with Bio-Compatible Polymers
Medical devices are increasingly designed using small components that are micro-machined from bio-compatible polymers. Laser micro-machining is a widely used technique for metals, but when it comes to a polymer substrate, this method offers challenges due to the material’s thermal susceptibility. We use state-of-the-art short pulsed lasers to manage heat delivery to polymers to ensure crisp edges and hole definition in a highly repeatable process.
These are widely used in medical devices owing to their excellent high frequency performance. A key application is ultra-sound cabling which can use as many as 256 micro-coax in the cable assembly.
When developing new applications or producing in modest volume, the capital investment needed to strip micro-coax make it quite prohibitive. Let us take the strain with this highly technical cable and produce the pieces for you.
Medical Device Wiring
Medical devices are full of complex small gauge wiring that is difficult to reliably strip with mechanical tools. Whether coax, ribbon cables or very fine wire - laser stripping can be an enabling technology. Let us get involved from the beginning with your next project, by designing in laser stripping at the early R&D stage. Alternatively, let our automated cut and strip machines drive down manufacturing costs and drive up quality.
Contact us today to find out how we can assist you with stripping your wires.


An armored military vehicle, looking like a tank but without the weaponry, was taken Tuesday night from a military installation in Virginia, and pursued over main roads to Richmond.
The vehicle, known as an armored personnel carrier and equipped with treads reminiscent of a tank, came to a halt about 9:40 p.m. in an intersection near the state Capitol.
It was not immediately known why it stopped or why it stopped where it did.
No shots or injuries were reported. One man was taken into custody.
Matters began, according to the state police, about 7:50 p.m., when the vehicle was driven away from Ft. Pickett in Nottoway County, southwest of Richmond.
The base is used for National Guard training. It was not immediately known whether someone connected to the Guard drove it from the base.
State police said the vehicle was driven east on Route 460 and north on Interstate 95, about 60 miles. The vehicle's maximum speed during the trip was about 40 mph, the police said.
The police began to pursue after they learned that it had been driven from the military base, a police spokeswoman said.
The police said they "traveled along with it" to Richmond.
Video shows the personnel carrier, painted a desert sand color, rolling down a Richmond street with one police car ahead of it and others following, sirens blaring.
It was a sufficiently uncommon sight to lead one witness to remark on social media: "This is INSANE!"
The vehicle appeared to be a model that was once used in front-line combat but has since been replaced and employed mainly in support roles.
Police said no crashes or injuries occurred.


The growing momentum for workforce transformation has a dark side: Increasingly damaging threats to data security and information sharing, especially aimed at employees’ laptops and mobile devices.
Doing PC security the way it’s always been done, with bolt-on software that scans for threats using signatures, is no longer enough. A new approach to endpoint security is necessary if enterprises are to be protected.
How confident are you in your organisation's current endpoint security efforts?

Hey, here’s some more SXSW stuff! You’re not sick of that yet, right? Baltimore duo Wye Oak are in town, and they’re getting ready to release the synthed-up, guitar-free new album Shriek; we’ve already posted first single “The Tower.” Thursday morning, the duo played a session for the Austin radio station KUTX, and they played an absolutely lovely new song called “Before” while actual professional cameramen taped them. It sounded awesome, and you can watch the video below.
Shriek is out 4/29 on Merge.

* Blames management for high costs, declining revenues
* Understands why board wants to give CEO room to fix damage
* Ackman says board is one of the best in America
By Svea Herbst-Bayliss
NEW YORK, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Hedge fund manager William Ackman is blaming Procter & Gamble's top management for the consumer products company's problems, but said he understands the board wants to give the CEO more time to repair years of damage.
Ackman disclosed his stake in the maker of Tide laundry detergent and Pampers diapers in July and recently met board members to lay out his complaints about the company.
Three times this year, the company has cut earnings forecasts and Ackman complained on Monday about the company's high costs and squarely blamed top management for these problems.
But the activist investor who oversees roughly $10 billion in assets at Pershing Square Capital Management also said he understands why the board wants to allow the company's CEO, Robert McDonald, room to repair the damage.
"I respect that the board wants to give him more time," Ackman said when asked about P&G at the Value Investing Congress on Monday.
But Ackman also said that the board, which includes the heads of a number of U.S. blue chip companies, is going to keep McDonald on a "tight leash."
Less than a month after meeting with that board, Ackman had praise for the directors, but also put them on notice that he is watching them closely.
"This is one of the best boards in America and they don't want to be embarrassed," Ackman said about the board that includes Boeing Co CEO James McNerney Jr. and American Express Co CEO Kenneth Chenault.
Ackman scored a dramatic win earlier this year when he was able to shake up Canada's clubby business world by winning a proxy fight at Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd and ultimately getting a new CEO into the corner office.
Since winning big there, Ackman has not minced words about P&G's management, blaming top executives for high costs plus years of declining revenue.
"I attribute a lot of those problems to senior management," said Ackman.
But he added the company is very attractive and that it will pay off to wait for "this CEO or the next CEO" to shape up the company.

For investors, it may be safe to wade back into the Apple waters again.
That's according to Oppenheimer & Co. analyst Ittai Kidron, who believes that the recent pounding given to Apple's stock has been overdone, and that shares have a chance to rally back.
Apple's recent run hasn't exactly been magical. The company's stock is down about 20 percent from its peak in September, and there are plenty of concerns dogging the company.
Over the past few weeks, Apple has had to deal with fears that the profitability of its products is falling, that supply issues have limited its ability to sell its products, that its newly released
All of those concerns led one bond guru, Jeffrey Gundlach, the CEO and co-founder of investment firm Doubleline Capital,.
Despite his endorsement, Apple shares recently fell 2.6 percent to $543.69 in early trading today.
Kidron, however, believes that all of the negativity has already been factored into the stock, and actually sees shares rising to $620.
"We believe the sell-off is overdone and should correct," he said in a research note today. "We view $620 as an intermediate target as investors review the good fundamentals in light of the sharp pull-back."
A lot of the issues stemmed from Apple trying to launch too many products at once, likely straining its supply chain and its own resources.
"This was too much to digest in a short period for margins, but we see it leaving Apple strongly positioned heading into 2013 despite macro headwinds," he said.
Still, Kidron expressed some caution, noting that the macroeconomic environment would have to improve or Apple would have to start beating expectations again if the stock wants to rise past $620.

Thanks to a whole bunch of rolls leftover from the Men’s Retreat this past weekend, I knew I needed to make a bread pudding for Tuesday’s SCL dinner. Bread pudding is delicious both sweet and savory. This recipe is one of my old standbys from a few years ago. It’s easily adaptable, so feel free to adjust the recipe according to what you have on hand. I added onion and green pepper this time, which sneaks in a few extra vegetables (I’m always a fan of more vegetables).
Adapted from Rachael Ray Magazine
- 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 (8oz) packages of sliced mushrooms
- 1 onion, diced (optional)
- 1 green pepper, diced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- salt and pepper
- 4 large eggs plus 3 large egg whites
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1 loaf day old bread cut into 1/2″ cubes
- 2 cups shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 1 1/2 quart baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, pepper, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook until the vegetables are starting to brown, 10-15 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, 2 Tbsp parmesan, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir in bread cubes and let soak for about 10 minutes (more or less depending on how hard your bread is). Stir in the cooled mushroom mixture and the shredded cheese. Pour into the baking dish and top with remaining parmesan. Bake until golden, about 45 minutes. let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
