PARISIAN DYNAMITERS.

"Tho new policy of the government," said the senator, "was born of and nursed by the women of this Tho association's departments aro the missionary, carried on with government approval in tribes and portions of tribes only where no mission work is being done by any church or denominational society or missionaries; the educational, largely domestic and industrial, done through ovening schools, though special and professional education has been to some extent taken np, ono Indian woman at least now practicing as a doctor; the legislative, founded in 1H8S; the young people's; the Indian libraries, and hospital work. AJIO.VG TM3 AMATEUIIS.

pieces of acting I have ever seen, but one's arms tiro with holding the opera glass, for to appreciate Itejane, her faco must be as close to yours as an opera glass can make it. Rejano is not elegant and cannot launch things into fashion like Jane Hading, still her toilot in the tirst act is worthy of being cited. She comes in with one of those loose, yet clinging, garments which are now so fashionable. They envelope the figure in a statuesque way, because they are made of soft, clear materials, trimmed with heavy ornaments. The black dress and pelisse are maile entirely of tulle, heavily embroidered with cut jet.

The sleeveless pelisse is a long width of tulle, glimmering with showers of cut jet, gathered on a narrow yoke of black velvet equally worked with jet. The baggy make of the dross does not differ to a great extent with that of the cloak. The Dodice an 1 skirt seeme I to be a mass of tulle and jet, which envelops the figure loosely and yet. to a certain extent, defines it, and tho decollete is most peculiar; it is a narrow opening, which extends far below tho usual cut of decollotes and yet it isso narrow an 1 shows so little of the neck that it seems more acceptable to a critical, modest eye than dresses which uncover the shoulders. The cut extonds about throe fourths of the length of the back and is quite as deep ih the front.

It is evident that a peculiar form of corset is necessary for that decollete, or that these slight women dispense with the corset altogether. Tho small capote was also of tulle an i jet; the crown was not larger than the palm of your hand, arranged like a head dress on the top of wavy and curly hair. In the front was a large rosette of black velvet, from which ex town from a height whence it is figured again tho, sea, she reaches pictorial In the view of Horseshoe fall, Niagara, Bho belittles her subject; especially by magnifying the foliage above it. Her "Waniag Moon," with a foreground of haystaoks, needs only a wooded foot clodhopper to become a Millet. Her sketches from Bermuda are notesi some of them carelessly sounded, but vibrant and full.

She revels in the verging greens and bines of the sea and, if her horizons did not bulge in tho middle, she would hare a number of lesser sins forgiven to her. Those who attend Carleton Wiggins' studia reception Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons of this week will find some things on his easel that aro important for intrinsic merit and personally interesting for tho advance they how in his art. It is not common for a man to change much his way of doing things, whether it he of sharpening pencils or painting pictures, after hi temples are whitened and he put9 on spectaeleaV arid Sir. Wiggins has made no radical departures in his method, but he has amplified it and has ob tained results that one would have boen cautions in prophosyiiig when he began to paint cattle. It it was once charged against him that his color wad rather dry and his landscapes deficient in light, he has put far behind him all possibillity Of suoh allegation.

His chef d'osuvrd has boon accomplished and local patriotism ought to bo gratii fled that after it has been shown in the Chicago fair it will corns to a Brooklyn gallery. The sub ject is a cow standing beneath a tree and raising her head in the act of lowing at a distant corn panion. Tho light falls through the leafage, checkering her sides and warming their red anot yellow liniil they seom to reflect actual sunlightl Action iB arrestad so that there is a feeling of repose that is heightened by tho still, green meadow stretching beyond har and a soft sky above. Animal Character is indicated and the) anatomy is searchingly true, while the picture combines, in a rare degree, the effect of warmth with that of placidity and firmness. It is a pio tnro that will add greatly to Mr.

Wiggins' repntai tion when it is seen at In contrast with, it is "Returning Honie," a Long Island moor witb. a broken triage of tress defining it Against tt sky that is overcast, but is gashed and threaded with gleams of waning light. In the foreground a. woman leads her flock, her red neckerchief beimr the only spot of color in a landscape otherwise low and gray. The action of the sheep some following tacitly, some stopping to nibble grass tM they walk, is true.

There are several good things in the Schauji aallery just now; a Lorolle in the soberest of gray showing a woman crossing a plowed field, with a flock of crows ahead of her and two' men bnriiing brush beyond; a vigorous still life by Fouace that shows texture; characteristic things by Bidgway S. It. Gifford, DeHaas, Robie. Schreyer, Bouguereau, Rico, Deller, Velteh. Luigi and others, and a now comedy by J.

G. Vibert. Like all of this man's work, it is precise, a little hard, flat and unatmospherio of background, brilliant, satiridal, popular and laughable. It satirizes the clergy in the usual way, thai central figure boing a cardinal who has fod himself into a condition of porcine obesity and who lolls in an easy chair in his garden with his feet on a cushion. At his side sits a soieirin leech, holding his watch and feeling his pulse, looking through big spectacles and under a steeple hat with ineffable wisdom and importance, unobservant of the creasy smilo with which his patient turns to his victuals.

These are boinil brought to him by a good looking housekeeper, who is sweeping on in vol vet robes, hearing solids and dainties ou a tray. Tho management of Jedis in this "Malade lmaginaire" is clever and thoy rango from maroon up to the shrillest scarlet without offering any violent altercation. Prom the International News company comes a batch of foreign illustrated papers that are happily prospective of Christmas and that are illuminated more gorgeously than Solomon was arrayed, so far as chromatic effects are concerned. The papers nre Slack ana White, Chatterbox, the (fraphte. Sporting ana Dramatic I'ews, Laay's Pictorial and Figaro.

Artistically Figaro is the beBti and the large Madrazo, Beyraud, Lemaire and De taille would hie been thought wonders of color printing not many years ago, while the lesser illustrations by Lemaire, Delort, Bridgman, Marold and Caran d'Ache are I'snappy and artistic. In the English journals there is a predominance of pretty things and the subjects are historical, mirthful, social and of a holiday sort; pretty cheap and popular, many of them, but occasionally diverging into the field of true art, as in Brangwyn's "Sail Ho in tho Grapnic Tho large chromatio prints will no doubt make ready sale for these papers. In the Art Amateur, ior the present month there' are agreeable color pictures, decorative designs, a head by Solomon that is much like Rossetti, with designs for the Song of Songs" of the elder Solomon, selections from the Palette, a manuscript magazine of the Herkomer art schools lions and tigers by Gorome and Bonheur and devices for tapestry, carving and what not. The directions to students are lucid and practical and tho critiques bright. The Century in its Christmas number makes a specialty of madonnas: a reverently treated one byDagnan Bouverot, one expressing happiness by Frank Du Mond, Abbott H.

Thayer'B American, Mary L. Macomber's delicate and poetically painted virgin, and Edward E. Simmons' realistio oue. Picturesque New York is delightfully expressed by Mielatz and Manly C. D.

Smedley are contributors, with various intent of figures. Thero are portraits of Wolcott Balostier, Jenny Lind, Salvini, Ristori, Browning and a group of noted war correspondents. Joseph Pennoll draws the gypsies with a pencil that radiates light as much as shadow. On Wednesday and Thursday nights the piot ures owned by Cyrus W. Field and James B.

Nel son Bickf ord, tho painter, is now at these galleries and is selling other men's pictures instead of making somo of his own. A partial copy of Richard Creifeld's portrait of General H. W.

THE DINNKlt TO BISHOP MC DOKSEtL. The dinner given to Bishop McDonnell by tha Alumni association of St. Francis Xavier's college, will bo served at 0 o'clock to morrow evening at Hotel Savoy, Fifthavenua and Fifty ninth street. Now York. It is expected that covers will be laid for about one hundred members.

All tho ap. pointroonts are to be in a verv quiet but handsome style. A very beautiful suite of apartments in Louis XIV stylo have been engaged for th occasion. The only guests outsido the members of the society will bo Archbishop Corrigan and the presidents of the alumni of Manhattan. Setoa hall, St.

John's, Fordham, and St. John's, Brook, lyn. Although given in Now York, Brooklyn will havo a large share iu the proceedings. Three of the sot toasts will be answered from this side of the bridge and probably one fourth of tbo diners will hail from the same direction. Although widely scattered in various avenues of life, nine members of the bishop's old class at the college have signified their intention of being present with the professor who taught them, Rev.

Peter Cassidy, S. J. Father Cassidr is an old Brook lynite. Ho comes from St. James' parish.

KCKILLOP SCttMlTT. On Sunday evening, Novemb 20, the marriage of Miss Junetto Sohmitt and Benjamin McKiliop was perfo: ned by the Rev. M. J. Moran of the Church of the Nativity.

The wedding was fol lowed by a reception held at the home of tha bride's parents, Mr and Mrs. Laon Antoine Schmitt at 352 Nostranl avenue, only the immediate relatives of the families being present. The bride was gowned in handsome peach color faille; with white moss trimmings. Orange blossoms were prettily arranged in her hair and she wore diamond ornaments. Her sister; Miss Marie Schmitt was bridesmaid.

She wore a very becoming costume bT cream crepe dclrino, trimmed with white chiffon and carried a btmquet of pink chrysanthemums. i S'i Encouraging the Diocesan Seminary. Other Xotes. Bishop McDonnell has ordered a collection to bo taken up in the churches to for the support of the diocesan seminary. This theological school, which is located at Lewis avenue and Hart street, under the care of tho Fathers of tho Congregation of Mercy, is destined to have a special influence oh the welfare of the diocese.

According to the bost expert authorities tho seminary should be tho very Apple of a bishop's eye. Trainer liimsolf under the broad, but exact discipline of the great schools of the Propaganda, Bishop McDonnell has already showTi that his seminary and its students must come up to the highest standard of modern requirements in educational results. During the year that St. John's has sheltered its sixty students enough has been developed to prove that it deserves the most gonerous encouragement on the part of the people. The support of tho institution is drawn pro rata from each parish; hence tho collection ordered for to day.

Rev. Dr. Braun of New York, writing of sern in irios for the publication that iH toiling of tho progress of the great building near Yonkors destined for Archbishop Corrigan's priests, says: "The best seminary in the world is St. Sulpice, in Paris. This iB the opinion of all experts, and it is based on reason and oxperiencs.

The best seminary is that which has the most holy directors, tho most learned professors and tho best observed discipline. All throe should bo combined to make a perfect seminary. Yet the discipline is not severe, save in its regularity and in the fidelity with which it is observed. To live in a house where all goes by the clock and where everyone, from the superior to tho lowest student, is equal before the law, and where monotonous silence and regularity reign, is impossible, save for those who have a true vocation. The youngest student in St.

Sulpice is treated as if he wcro an old parish priest. He, is trusted. He may get leave to go out of tho house to make a purchase or even to take a trip. Ho manages his own business affairs, pays his own bills, attends to his own clothing; and has it mended and washed. He is treated as a gentleman who came to tha seminary to be a priest and knew what that meant.

He is not watched. After a whilo, if he has no vocation, he goes away, for he is ashamed to see and feel himself a black sheep in a white fold." The patronal feast of St. Francis Xavier's church. Sixth avenue. Rev.

D. J. Hickev. castor. will bo celebrated to day with the proper distinction fitting the festival of the great Jesuit apostle, which is placed in tho calendar on Decem ber 3.

There will bo a solemn high mass coram pontifico. Bishop McDonnell will be present in copo aud miter, the first time that any Brooklyn cnurch has been so honored. The sermon of the day will be preached by the Rev. Patrick A. Hal pin; S.

vice president of St. Francis Xavier's college. New York. The musical programme will bo fnlly in keeping with the other details of tho ceremonial. This is tho seiond Sunday of advent.

Tho epistle of the mass is taken from lS; the gospel from St. Matthew, 10. On Thursday tho patronal feast of the United States, tho immaculate conception of the blessed Virgin will bo celobrated. It is a holy day of obligation when masses will be said ih all the churches as on Sunday. In St.

Augustine's church a sermon will be delivered by tho Right Rev. Bishop Kcane. rector of tho Catholic university, and tho church will be illuminated for the first time by electricity. In tho morning Bishop McDonnell will celebrate a solemn pontificial mass in the pro cathedral St. James, Jay streot.

This is one of tho diocesan patronal feasts also. This afternoon the bishop will administer confirmation in St. Nicholas' church, Rov. J. P.

Hoffman, pastor. Next Sundav he will be at the Church of tho Most Holy R03ary, Rev. D. Monte verde, pastor; On the evenings of December 0 and 7 an en tertainmont will be given in St. Patrick's hall for the benefit of the building fund for tho new schools of tho parish.

Father Taaffo has arranged to have the old St. Patrick's academy remodeled so as to conform with the fine building secured for the girl's department. Work will begin at tiio end of the school term and be finishod in September. New heating apparatus and a new playground have been made ready for the winter season. Father Taaffo has one of the largest and best schools in the city.

The choir of his church, under Director O'Doanell, has already begun the preparation of a very elaborate programme of music for Christmas. Tho many friends of Father Martin J. Loftus of Bay Itidge will regret to learn that he is seriously lll. The loctnro that Right Rev. Bishop Keane of tlio Catholic university, Washington.

D. was to have delivered for tho Brooklyn institute on December 7, has been postponed to January 18. The subject j3 "Tho Vnluo of the Study of History." Father Kiely will lecturo in the Transfiguration church this ovening on "The Christian Mother." The music at the advent vespers in this church is specially arranged. "'Certain friends of the Irish Canadian pilgrimage desired a little memoir of those memorable days. I put Pome notes together and found in them too much for a pamphlot, too littlo for a book; nonce, I concluded to put in a few ad drosses.

Thcso pages have no pretensions. Nevertheless, they are prond because ox tho sanction of our right roverend bishop. They will not do any harm. They may do some good." The addresses added to the notes on tho pilgrimage are on "Tho Church and the Republic." "The Land League," "O'Connell, the "St. Francis de Sales," "St.

Patrick," and one to the graduates of St. Francis colloga. The Rev. M. G.

Flannory had a warm welcome at the meeting of the Fenelon Reading circle at the Pouch mansion last Tuesday, when he was presonted to the members for the first time as their director. Ho made a brief and pleasant address, in which ha pointed out what should bo the true aim and reason for a reading circle such as he desired tho Fenolon to always remain. The board of studios of the Catholic summer school have determined on a winter course of study to enable Catholics who have not had the advantages of Catholic college or university training to become familiar with tho Catholic aspects of the various important questions in the different departments of knowlodgo that engage public attention to day. Courses of study will be carefully mapped out for 500 subscribers, when suoh a number has been secured. In these courses various books boering on the subject will be indicated and an appreciation of tho same given, together with suggestions that will tend to make the readme of the books more profltabla.

The method of work will be as follows Tho course will embrace lectures ih sacred scriptures, evidences of religion, mental philosophy, natural science and rovealed religion, the fine arts, history, literature and pedagogy. These lectures will be printed monthly and sent to each subscriber for the private use of that subscriber. II any questions are proposed concerning the matters treated of in these lectures, they will be answered in connection with the lectures of tho succeeding month. Tlie lectures will be written by eminent Catholic scholars whose position and reputatiou will be a guarantee of sound Catholic and philosophical teaching. The following have already signified their willingness to bo the heads of different faculties: The Very Rev.

A F. Hewitt. D. C. S.

lecturer at the Catholic university, Washington, D. Professor Maurice F. Egan, LL. professor of English literature at the University of Notre Dame. Rev.

James Doonan, S. of Boston college, Boston. Mass. Beside those, other specialists will be securod so far as to have each faculty composed of a number of scholars of roputation and ability whose work will secure thoroughness. Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia is quite indignant at the sensational articles that have appeared in some of the papers on the recent report made public by the archbishop on the education question, in which tho writers affect to discover something startling by reading between the lines.

Tho archbishop says: "As I wrote the report I beg to stato that it is only necessary to read along the lines to understand it. The archbishops did Philadelphia the honor of adopting its report on the school question and tho published resolutions aro taken, without any substantial change, from that report. "As the assembled prelates consented to the publication of the resolutions, I presume on thoir consent to this statement that thoy meant simply what they said. "As the archbishops met, after consultation with the bishops, the unanimous adoption of those resolutions in their obvious sense is not a triumph for any party, but for the entire hierarchy of the All pastors and heads of institutions desiring to have corrections or addition made in the aole Ac tor ib3 suoqiQ a ua tneir com munications to the editor at oncoil The original mugwump Ka Ia airpltf nun vnoM who I The Annual Conference of the Women's Indian Association. It Will Be Called to Order in the Clinton Avenue Couirretrational Church on Wednesday Xext mid Will DNcuss Many Problems Relating to the Welfare of the Red San.

It is not, perhars, generally known that the rights and welfare of the Indian have aroused a Rcenor recognition and excited a more ardent interest in Brooklyn than in almost any other city in tho country. Somo fourteen years ago, when the red man was not admitted to citizenship, had no civil rights and was universally neglected, the Women's National Indian association sprang into Its object was to inform the public regarding the needs, capabilities and progress of our native Indians, to urge the government to render diroct help to thein; to send helpers or missionaries out among them to labor for their instruction end elevation, an 1 to assist them in home bnilding, in special and professional education and by hospital work. To day thero is hardly a state or territory in the Union that has not its active workiug branch, co operating with the main body in raising funds and establishing missions. Thesa missions, shortly after formation, have been transferred in most cases to Methodist, Jipiscopal. Baptist, Presbyterian or Moravian care, it being tho pur pose of tho association merely to start the work and to see that progress is made.

Of all of these branch associations. Brooklyn was one of the earliest in tho field. Twelve years ago the Brooklyn Women's Indian association was founded, andiiow, with a membership of over one hundred, it takes a leading place in the national councils, having attained from its influence and size the dignity of a stato organization. In power and weight to day it is only excelled by the New 'York city and the Connecticut associations. On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, in tha Clinton avenue Congregational church, at tho corner of Clinton and Lafayette avenues, Brooklyn will have the honor of her second Indian conference, it being the annual meeting of the National association.

Altogether it has raised but about annually for the founding of missions and propagating its doctrines, but that has been ample to accomplish much of value. Four years ago it established missions among the Poncas and Otoes. and when they were well under Way turned theiu over to tho Methodist board.

To tho Muscogees of Indian Territory it gave a school. It has aided very materially in supporting and startuu; Indian kindergartens throughout the far West.

Jane Hading at the Comeil'e Franca The Toilet of Popular Actress Sonic Dazzling First Sight Costumes. Correspondence of the Eagle. Paris. November lt( There is a reason for dynamite explosions, like all thinzs that come into fashion. The loquacious Ravachol said to his keepers that in summer there must be, perforce, a lull ia explosions an 1 in the blowing up of the do3pised bourgeois, for the mixing of the necessary ehemicais must bo done in low temper.

iturc. Ravaoholalsoamrniedthitaiurcliists again be at work in the nutumn. Ho win not mistaken. Ton have heard of the iron pot of dynamite leftat the doorof the house; the offices of which are occupied by the director of the Carmaux mines. You have also hoard that, as usttrtl, the explosion missed its mark and killed five persons for whom the dynamite was not intended.

With the usual exciting occurrences this gay capital afi'irds we now have that of stumbling over a can or an iron pot and beiucc sent to eternity, with souls whnlj and ready, I hope, but with our remains so woeful ly mixed up with frairnvnts of others, that to our linito mind the insoluble problem as how each individual will come to his own on the ju lir ment day necessarily presents itself. We French have the cool habit of banterinr until wo individually are too seriously troubled to continue our Now. we cannot ignore the fact that we are living on a volcano whose crater may explode at any time, in any corner, and also may take a sudden resolution to make a grand finale and explode the whole city. Those who object to be tints unceremoniously lautrtbcd into eternity are trying to find means of preventing anarchists leaving their tin cms and iron pots at their doors. Most of the population think the government is too lenient with the culprits.

All the papers of all opinions cud parties cite the energetic manner in which Chicago dispatched its troublesome anarchists. Indeed, I believe that that very act wili persuade a number of Frenchmen to go and see the Chicago exposition, for they conclude that civilians who are so skillful in destroying obnoxious members must have a corresponding energy in the art of construction. Everyone is now ment.tllj busy with his own theory which will put an end to these alarmiKK explosions. To give stamina to the government m.mv think Consrans ought to be recalled to the cabinet, for he is the only man iu Franco of whom malefactors stand ir. some fear.

But this present tame and genteel cabinet objects to elbow a Const.ins, who takes extreme and rough measures to suppress what is obnoxious to the country. While he jtn men by the collar he forgets to say By your leave" or invite them to skio the country in order to escape the danger of being arrested. Why does the chamber not act? Is it afraid oi' socialists, or are there too many soei Iistie reprcsentitives among tho deputies Whatever the reason may be, tho deputies are too inert in their measures to prevent explosions and I am afraid their Bome day may prove fatal to themselves, lor anarchists will find the means of placing iron pots near enough to blow up th'j building while the chamber is in session and on its ruins sing hallo lujaand become masters of the capital, like thi present members did on the memorable September 4. 1S70. Thero is no doubt that those who think the police ought to be increased and paid more are right.

The present number of policemen is inadequate to protect the town. The question to increase the number and to increase salaries was before the chamber just ns it closed for summer vacation. Nothin? was decided, and at the opening of this session things not so important, but which brought he eloquence oi' a few more deputies in relief, were preferred to that which would insure security to the city. I oolievo that in proportion to area and population Paris hasa smaller police than any other metropolis, and if France is to bo troubled with anarchist, as Russia with nihilists, it must imitate Russia in its means of defense and protection and. make it worth the while for the police to exercise vigilance ana self sacrifice.

After every explosion Parisians complain of the facility with which anyone can enter houses unobserved. The means of dosiu? apartment houses is discussed for about a week, then attention passes on to something which proves more interesting: because it is more recent. Hut the easy access into a hous? is the cause of nil explosions, for if access were impossible anarchists would doubtless uso a way to be harmful which would only attack those wlio have excited their hatred. In the majority of houses here there is oniy one porter to attend to everything, and while he is in the upper stories anyone can enter into tho house and do whatever he likes, for the door is left open from in the morning to in evening. In ail other European capitals things aro managed differently; floors are closed night and day.

and tnnse who enter are admitte 1 by the porter. The French who have become Rus sian mad ought to imitate the Kussians' way of protecting themselves. Since tHSO no explosions have occurred either in St. Petersburg or Mos cow. The number of porters was then doubled, and no one is allowed to enter a house without addressing tho one at the door, there are also a number of private polijemen reserved for every quarter, who, knowing the inhabitants of each house, is ready to spy a suspicious stranger and to arrest him at any provocation.

There is no doubt that Parisians will have to guard themselves if explosions continue, an 1 if government does not see to it the citizens will liavo to take their own protection in nan 1. People who have been in Paris remember tho Eden theater, which was inaugurated with the famous Italian ballet "Excelsior." With all the ottier city attractions, the was too large to be tilled nightly and the director of the Odeon, who leased it. hid it transformed into a beautiful theater which, with the primitive space, has become the most comfortable of all Parisian theaters. The Grand theater opened its doors with Alnhonsc D.iu let's which some years ago was played with success at the Gymnase. with June Hading in the title role.

By the way, the beautiful is engaged at the Comedie Franchise. To get into the house that Moliere built she doubtless was obliged to cancel her engagement with Abbey and Grail for America. She was to return there next year. She once told me that tha ciut of her life was to become a pensionnaire of the Comedie Frair aise. She is one now, but will she stay? Too many actresses have tried its boar.

Is and found them too hot. This corporation of old actors and actresses generally make it too unbearable for the new ones; they get no chance to show their talent, have occasion to play only three or four times a year, waste their youth and ability wailing to get elbow room in that much crowded house, and after a few years of impatience most of them shake the dust of the Francaise from their shoes and go back to their otd theaters. Wo will see if Jane Hading will be more fortunate. Site has much improved iu acting and she is still as beautiful and as elegant in dress as she was during her rour in America with Coquelin. Itejane played the part of Sapho at the Grand theater.

She is the best actress, the most Parisian of all women ou the stage. She is no: handsome, elegant or stylish but is bewitching with the qualities which go to make success in Paris mid which seldom elsewhere. They cousist of a peculiar elo. ution and peculiar gestures, certain un Icriiuing, certain passes, certain motions pecu.iar to women which cannot be analyzed as taught and which generally are appreciated but by the Freu. h.

Who has evor succeeded in imitating the serpentine movements of Sarah Bernhardt, and who appreciates andanalyzes them like the Well. Rejan" has a certain elasticity of gestures and movements which are even more typical of her nature than Sarah's serpentine curves. Itejane. for instance, in the third act of Sapho jumps on a chaise longuo. iias a lit of anger which, in another woman would seem absurd with the succession of twitches, shakes of the head and nervous gyrations of the whole body.

But with Kejano they not only seem admissible, but natural and especially entirely suitable to the p.irt she is playing. Rcjane, beside, spices the above French stage qualities with a certain bearing which is unmistakably that of the gamin de Parii. Thoro is a certain gaminerie in all she docs which if understood by foreigners is at least never liked. It is rumored that she has an engagement with Abbey and Gran for America, it is a pity, if it be true, for Americans will not like her. Americans who have been residents of Paris for years fail to catch what the French choose to call hersaored Bre, Bejane's art, like Julio's, is essentially Parisian and that kind of actresses, who have not the supplementary attractions of beauty and taste in dress ought never to cross tho ocean.

Eteiane is the most perfect incarnation of Daudet's 8apbo" tho heroine who employs all allur menti, all wiles, all fascinations to keep a man by her side. It is one oil tie most poignant Some of the Pictures in the Academy Exhibition. A Stock Company Performance Mrs. Whitman's Work at Arerj's A Superb Piece of Falntlhs: by Carleton Wiggins Vlbert's Latest Satire on the Clergy Notes. The current exhibition at tho Academy of Design may be likened to tho performance of a stock company, where each actor is choson for general efficiency and there is no star.

There are no star canvases, that is, there are few or none that are remarkable for size, originality of subject, or oddity, novelty or conspicuity of treatment. The excellence that puts the exhibition somewhat in advance of its predecessors in the autumn shows which aro designedly below the grade of the spring displays is gratifying, of course, yet monotonous. Among tho pictures that one will notice are Childo Hassam's report of a village celebration in New England (No. 415), because it is one of the things in which there is color. Mr Hassam has learned some of the tricks and some of tho rices of the impressionists, though he has not actually allied himself to them in practioc.

His light and air effects ore frequently good, oven where ho forces tho note to secure them, but his youthful eye sees primary hues whera ordinary people see only grays. In this picture, for instance, he sees shadows that are as blue as a soldier's overcoat. Everything is keyed to the highest pitch and he certainly secures a quantity of sunshine. A gentler and truer use of blues is foiiud ih tho elephants of Alfred Z. Baker (No.

8), for this seems to be tone best suited to moonlit objects. It was demonstrated on the grand scale in the first setting of "Aida" in New York, in the Nile scene a stage picture that was never repeated in later representations of the opera. Benjamin Eggleston has developed an earnestness that is pressing him forward and Harry Roselaud is leading him a race. Mr. Eggleston sends three themes that are pleasant and Mr.

Roseland has found on Long. Island, within a few miles of Brooklyn, a people and a scenery that have the pictorial possibilities of the French plains. His color is improving, but is still a trifle dry in his foregrounds, while there is a decided advance in pose, grouping and composition. Roswoll Hill's "Notre Dame" (108) is one of tho few pastels that gives an impression of prompt treatment. Mention has boon made of tho vigorous still life pieces by Dubouchet.

They are hapless things for some of their neighbors in the corridor to show against, and thoy demonstrate anew that the textures are mere effects of color and not of brush work, for Du. bouchot paints with a palette knife. Mattie Dube's pumpkins and onions (148) are also dashing and true, and Walter Palmer's Venetian moonlight (11S) is delicate. Joseph Jefferson in his "Old Mill" (139) has proved his right to stand among the academicians. The work is well composed, tho treatment has discovered originality and the greenish tone is as rich as Limoges faienco.

Robert Kiuth, in his girl and kitten (147), has hurt a fairly engaging subject by the dead and blackish hues that ho has oarried through it. Technical improvements are. possible in E. Wood Perry's "New England Fireside" hut tho subject is attractively presented and it is of a kind that is referred to the consideration of young mon who think they must go to Franco and paint loutish peasants ih their kitchens if thoy would find interiors and people worth painting. The French do not know how to make a fire, anyway, and in a dozen of their villages ono might not find a room so neat, warm, cozy and restful as this.

Tho composition could hardly be better. The woman knits before tho hearth, her babe is in its cradlo and yon fancy that you hear the solemn tick of the clock as yon look put to the snow whitenod landscape. Those words aro no commitment to the manner in which Mr. Porry has done his work, though that is not to be slighted either, but they are intended as a hearty indorsement of his subject, and. indeed, in tho handling he has perhaps never done so well.

T. Addison Richards' contributions still exact their tribute of tears, but hardly got them, because people do not stay long edoiigh in their neighborhood; and Mr. Cropsey becomes more frenzied in color, every year; Albert Herter's large portrait of a woman in white (170) is in the nature ofa "symphony," as some of the London faddists might call it. Whistlor's "Whito Girl" was one of tho earliest exploits iu white against white, but the achievement has ceased to excito wonder. If white can always ba used by a wise painter with charming result, however, and when one sees how tenderly it softens color in M.

L. Ma corabor's "Lovo Awakening Memory" (310). the wonder is that it is not of toner employed. "September Afternoon" (183) is a now and bold, though not daring departure for Ckarlas Harry Eaton, who discloses depth and mystery in his "Wood Road" (380): there is a good expression of evening mist in F. C.

Poyraud's picture of that name (104); Leonard Ochtman's "October" (1S5) is ample and airy; Harriett B. Kellogg's "Seven Times Two" (188), a pretty girl has been affectionately painted; Anna Wood Brown is skillful in diffusing light through hor "Colored Home" (200), a canvas that would have passed for one of Alfred Kappes when ho painted better; thero is a quaint mug and a good bit of handling in C. E. Proctor's "Tuning Up" (304) and Margaret Lippincott's roses W20) are delightful in color and have just enough rolief. Louis Moellor's group of four old fellows talking politics (212) is on9 of the picures" that everybody talks about a crisp and positive accomplishment wherein the hand follows an eye that sees lines and surfaces with mathematic certainty; yet, the haud leaves no token of effort, and even iu the grouping the result of calculation is hardly obrious.

Percy Moran has found a rival in Letitia B. Hart, whoso "Winding the Skein" (223) is a clever bit of genre. E. B. Waring demonstrates the easy dignity of the mountains in his "Monadnock" (339).

L. E. Van Gorder is a man who is commended to tho attention of collectors, for tho painter of "Evening" (242) is going to be heard from. Evidently he i3 modest, because he asks only $j0 for a $100 picture, but ho will make his art speak for him and it will ba good art. His subject is a girl hanging ont clothes that are just edged with rudly sunset light.

It is a common thing to see. but he has made it calm and sweet and homely. Some big hilla of tha Berkshires (230) and the shore3 of Oswego lake (325) are shown by J. B. Bristol, steeped in the still, warm air of summer that this artist loves.

The academy's president, T. W. Wood, sends in an honest portrait of Senator Morrill (283). The misty gray of April is denoted in C. Harry Eaton's "Early Spring" (305), while the brightness of a "September Morning" (317) is made unusually splendent by C.

Morgan Mcnhonny. Mr. Caliga's canary (374) is a more agreeable accomplishment in color than some that have preceded it and Esther L. Coffin's roses (372) are delicate and delightful. Douglass Connah's "Day Dreams' (303), a woman who sits with crossed legs, holds a violin and looks away with drowsy eyes, has a familiar look.

It is doubtful if any girl, except a model would get htfrself up in laco and green and nudity to read as in Roswcll S. Hill's picture (399). There is more reality and likeliness in Arthur Keller's portrait of a woman (400), who has a dog before her and is turning in an easy attitude as she walks. John D. Barrow's view among the Onondaga hills (428) is noble and sweeping; Ella Pell's "Jonquilles" (424) are conscientious and Edward Gay in his Adirondack trees that he calls "Castor and Pollux" (431) hurls his objocts on the canvas as if he felt strong and could not sufficiently prove it.

The statuary, always small in quautity and often of minor consequence in quality, includes tho bust by Alfredo Luzi (450) ofa woman of Trastoverimi that is a striking exhibition of tho animal Roman type. Thero are two weeks more of the academy show. Mrs. Whitman's work at tho Avery galleries comprises 25 paintings. 10 pastels and wstcr colors, beside some decorative book covers, Cfead and tail pieces and stained glass.

She is a colorist who paints from the shoulder and with a loaded bmslu The manner is necessarily broad, yet the effects are refined, for in the free and almost prismatic brilliance of her canvases she avoids discord and holds to some color fact of nature. There is an idealizing tendency that sho shows more in some of her heads than in her landscapes and ono cannot wholly accept her "Dr. Holmes." What a pity it is that wo are snp posed to know who some peopla aro, when thoy are on canvas. Many a good picture is spoiled by our having to think that it looks unlike somebody. Mrs.

Whitman paints flowers with a kind of joyous recklessness and ho would evidently like to paint portraits in the same way, but there aro forbidding constraints, and in her wish to idealise ahe makes them rather weak: and English looking. In toming in With th Tide," a laden hay barge ascending a creek at sunset, and "East Gloucester," viewing tho What Ia Going: on Ainou; Societies, the different The coming week is not an especially lively one, so far as performances are concerned, but the various societies areJiard at work rehearsing for the regular monthly representations, which a.ro near at hand. The amateur world at largo continues to receive additions to its active membership, and at the performance of tho Columbian club, a new organization, on last Thursday evening at tho Athcneuin, five of tho cast were debutantes. Well, that is a larger numbor than has resigned from active participation, so if any interested parties fear that amateur talent is likely to become a drug in the market they will have to settle with Mr. Janvrin, the energetic coach of the Columbia and other organizations, for having launched forth so many new aspirants for histrionic fame on tho boards of the mimic stage The recent suddon chango of front by theGilbert, tho putting on of a farce comedy for the December performance, after "Othello" had been cast, and which was published in this column last week, occasioned a good deal of comment.

Tho following communication has been received from one of the officers of the society on the matter, which is published without comment "Mixed PickleB," to be produced by the Gilbert on Wednesday evening, December 7, will, it is said, be one of the best comedies ever staged bj any of tho amateur societies. The same cast having played it before are letter perfect in their lines and thoroughly proficient iu the stage business. Affairs are now on the jump and booming in the association since the malcontents who have been the cause of all the little troubles for tho past fow years, simply because they could not be elected to the highest offices, have resigned practically forced to by the workers. There have been more than enough new niembrs elected to fill their places. The membership is now full and the treasury in better condition than it has been for a long time.

Clark The Florence forgot its friends at its last performance and ono leading amateur actor, who is known for his ability in old man roles and who has been identified with the dramatic corps of the society for several seasons, surprised the representatives of this oolnmn the other day by saying that ho had not received a ticket for "A Summer Bluff." So the press, or, rather, a portion of it, was not alone overlooked by the society. The Florence will hold a reception at Avon hall on Thursday evening, December 8. The arguments favoring a larger theater than the Criterion and smaller than the Academy of Music have been met by Mr. Whito of the Criterion with tho remoc that, if he were to enlarge his theater, or buiia a larger house, ho could make more money out of it by letting it to professional companies than to amateurs. What is to prevent the Brooklyn amatours doing as their brethren in New York are compelled to do in some instances play two or three nights if necessary.

The Berkeley lyceum, in Now York, where three fourths of tho amateur performances take place, will seat about five hundred people, the leading societies over the river ire compelled to play two and throe nights iu order to give; their subscribers a chance to see them. The complaint that tho Academy is too expensive is justly made, for in addition to a rental of or more per night, properties, ushers and other expenses which should go with tho rental aro charged for additionally. Mr. White declares that he furnishes everything required except perishable properties and that it would cost less to play three nights in tho Criterion than it would to play ono night in the Academy, and ha doesn't see a simpler solution of tho difficulty. Mr.

Whito seems to have the best of tho argument on the question, judging from figures, and it is worth while for the amatour societies to Btudy out the problem on tho basis suggested. Another argument offered by the proprietor of the Criterion is that many subscribers of the big societies aro unable sometimes to attend tho performances on the nights selected and are compelled to give away their tickets where they otherwise could arrange to be present at the second or third representation. Owing to business engagements, the result of the holiday season, several of the members of the contemplated cast of "Turned Up," to bo produced by the Booth at the Criterion on Friday evening, December 115. will be unablo to play and the cast as arranged at present is as follows General Baltic Frank J.

On December 13 the Arion Yacht club will give a concort and a farce in one act at the Athenouin. The farce will be "Turned Out."

These protruding ornaments, also resembling an Alsatim bow. are the novelty for bonnets; they arc made of folded lace, or of any lignt. transparent material; they are more eccentric than beautiful or becoming.

That trimming on some of the evening bonnets I saw that night was arranged to look like a small, open, clear lace fan above the low front trimming; anil it is an exact copy of the coiffure worn iu tho time of Louis XIV. All the actresses and variety women seemed to have agreed to vie with each other in new and beautiful gowns that tirst night of "Sapho." The empire stylo is decidedly predominating. There were four or live women present who had faithfully copied tho fashion plates of that time as closely that they looked like tho portraits of Versailles stepped out of their frames. They were belted almost under the arm with wido ribbon tied in a bow in front, then drawn under the arms to design tho short waist, then brought upward again in tho back and there again tied into 0 how and the ends left hanging to the edge of the long bell shaped skirt which formed a sort of clinging wattean in the back. Skirts and bodices made of different material and contrasting color will bo tho great fashion for house, street as well as for evening toilets.

Mario Magnier, who has tbo reputation of hoing the most elegantly dressed actress on and off the stage, that evening wore a silk manvo skirt whose pnrple narrow stripes designed tho skirt into large plaids. The manvo velvet bodice was plain iu tli3 back, gathered in front, but loft open to be filled in with wide falling laie. which imitated tho Louis XIV jabot. Over the shoulders a very wido collar of veivet was gathered forming a full trimming on the back and wide re vers in the front. This coll ir was lined with white silk and under showed a i uille of white to match that of the jabot.

Her small capote was a medley of gold, jet and white laco. The jet fell in two long pendants on each side of the Greek knot anl shorter ones trimmed the sides of the small gold embroidered crown. In the front a piece of white lac3 was folded in the sliapo of a small fan and stood out above'thehead. Her hair was thrown back and waved. Mauve mousquetairo gloves reached the elbow and met thj immense mauva v9lvet sleeves.

The arm, even in full dross, is entirely covered; the tight glove to the olbow is a. graceful contrast to the voluminous puffs of the upper arm. A very effective dress at the. tirst night of "Sapho" was a combination of yellow satin and mauve velvet. Plain yellow satin skirt with mauve bodice.

The bodice was short waisted, belted in with a narrow band of velvet. It was gathered and the gathers formed a rufllo around the low neck, straight from arm to arm, and the narrow bias ban.l which separated the rufllo from tho gathers of the bodice spanned tho chest above, making an acceptable decollete oven vhen the wearer stooped. The sleeves formed a square over the shoulder and were joined to the front and back mines with a band of black jet about an inch wide. All the skirts are made with a trimming of some kind around the odge. The favorite trimming is a narrow bias velvet ruffle to match the material of the bodice.

Yon cannot wear too much velvet and fur. Thero is no new model made without having tho bodice and sleeves, or the sleeves alone made of velvet. Black glossy silk is effectively combined with black velvet to calling and small dinner dresses. The skirts arc made to touch all aronnd, then a very slight train. I saw one or two new skirts trimmed with narrow nifties at intervals of about four inches.

Coming events cast their shadows before. 1 am afraid we will in time corne back to the voluminous skirt and then the crinoline. Ksr.MA Bullet. (HIAVF.SEXD GOSSIP.

The Cyciorania building that stood alongside the Sea Beach palace, at Coney Island, was razod to the ground on November 0 in a novel way. The picture that was on exhibition for six years pa it tailed to attract last season. The Soa Beach Railway company, finding tho building a trillo old and not inclined to invest in another picture, made a contract with Joseph Kowski, a resident of Coney Island, to take the building down. Joseph, an old sailor and experienced in handling large bodies of wood, thought he couid pull tho building down bodily, and as the lumbor was not an object this plan was decided upon.

It was partly stripped of the roof and sides, only tho heavy trusses composing the roof, the frame and some of the sidinu was left. The weight of tho structure was probably one hundred tons. A heavy cable was wound around the center truss at tile top and led down over the roof to a crab anchored in the ground about two hundred feet away. A horse gave the motive power, and by a scries of blocks a strain was given to the cable. When at last 't was brought to its full tension down came tho largo structure, with no loss of either life or property.

The picture was removed for exhibition elsewhere. The building was put up in 1MSG ami cost S40.000. The ground on which it stood will be leveled off and mado into a park. Coney Ishtnd is undergoing changes. THE REV.
