Kurz and C. O. Howard, secretary and ness in this particular line alone is brisk enough to keep one man on the hop. But this is only a circumstance. He has all bis other routine work, and in Inspector Boilly's absence he is taking his share of duty also, which includes a good deal of detail.

In Bpite of it all, however, he is in as good trim as ovor he was, bettor if any nance of such license to ignorance by rule of political pull." The Fobruary number of tho Magazine of Art opens on Burne Jones' "Love Song," that is almost mistakablo for a Rossctti in its languorous effominacy, Mr. Jones subtilizes painting to the perilous point of vacuity. Hois a Chopin of tho brush. Puvis do Chavannos is written upon by Bojidar Karagoorgcvitch. the being a prince but not above working.

The paper is il crous for its palpable incongruity, and often seriously detrimental to the effect of scenes which are to follow. So, when, in the recent beautifully sustained performance or Stio stoops to oon quer" at the Criterion, we saw the curtain do soeiid at the entrance of Hardcastlo. at the point where Marlowe seizes Kate in tho barmaid sceitd oi act ill, we pondered and wo puzzled and we had to wonder why. Hore in reality is no climax, for by a careful reading of tho play it will bo soon that Marlowe is, at this timo and still later in the scenes, absolutely ignorant of tho roal identity of Hard castie. This is Basil forgotten bv tho audienco and strange to say was forgotten by Goldsmith himself; for ho wrote "father" where printed copies now say "landlord." What, then, is the roal situation? To Mar lowo, the old man, who thus abruptly comes upon the Bceno is not Kates father bringing rebuke and humiliation to tho man who has abused his hopitality and offered indignity to his daughter, but simply an impudent inn keeper who has obtruded his clumsy and offensive pres.

ence when and whero he is not wanted. The situation has nothing of shock or startle; it is an irrirating, awkward and vexatious interruption. Marlowe's linos and business show it, and nothing is more romoto from his thought than the suspicion that he is confronting the father of the girl with whom he has been trifling. It was the custom at Wallaek's, until comparatively recent years, as some of us vividly romem ber, to inclndo in this scene tho dialogue short, sharp and significant between father and daughter which, in the original play, follows immediately upon Hardcastle's entrance, and it is woll to remember that when we cut it out we lose Hardcastle's stinging comment upon Marlowe for this particular act of misconduct a denunciation perfectly natural and justifiable uuder the circumstances and Kate's entreaty to her father, in which the audience roeoives her only hint that she really trusts her audacious lover, after all. By tho modern curtain fall Marlowe's most flagrant net left without, remonstrance or rebuko at any point in the play, and the motive for Kate's later proceedings is absurdly and needlessly obscure.

"Thus Tableau Climax wields delusive sway. We squeeze it in, no matter what the play: Transform what should bo into what should not. And oft, to make a picture, mar a plot." The Monday night meeting of the Florence Dramatic society took place at the residence of Mr. Pattison on Pacific street, and was a most enjoyable affair. The business meeting was prolonged in order to discuss the most effective way in which the society might show its apprecia tion of the prevailing hard times and to add its mite toward relieving the distress in Brooklyn.

The proposition was mado by Mr. Hatton that the Florence should contribute to charity and a plan was adopted. The entertainment of the evening was a clevor performance of "A Rice Pudding." The dainty pioco of character acting by Miss Eva McKean was well received. She delineated an eccentrio Irish cook with a brogue that was both rich and rare. Miss Lily H.Wood's rendering of the young housekeeper was her usual happy style.

Miss J. Bell Landfear and Messrs. Morse and Knowles performed their parts with skill and the pretty pictures formed by the grouping of the fair participants added to the success of the play. The evening closed with dancing. Among those presout were Loftus Hat ton, A.

E. Taylor, Miss Florence Edwards, Mr and Mrs. Ronald Taylor, Charles H.Dow, Mr. and Mrs. Vvilliain H.

Albert Meafoy will be seen. It will be followed by the farce in one act entitled "Chiselling," with cast including Messrs. Frank J. Higgins, Gregory Tatti, John E. Irwin and tho Misses Mary Farley and Grace Baker.

more was a rumor current a tow weeks ago that the deceased Goodwin comedy club would be resuscitated. Isn't it about timo tho club should resurrect and take a "shy" at "Tho Ticket of Leave Man" or "Turned Up." By the way. what has become of that largo picturo donated to the organization by Nat Goodwin shortly after its birth? On February 2, the Columbian club of South Brooklyn will produce "Shaughran" at Prospect It will be under tho direction of Mr. George M. Jan vrin, who is at present coaching the cast.

If a stranger had stepped into tho Academy of Music on Wednesday ovenins last and watched the performance of the role of Bessie Fairfax as played by Miss Elise Louis, it would have been difficult to pursuado him that he was not witnessing the work of a clever professional actress. Beyond doubt it was tho best representation in that line that Miss Louis has ever given, and entitles her to be considered the loading sou brette of the amateur stage. The amateurs of the city will regret to hear that the Cole family are about to removo from Brooklyn to Bayonne. Bert Colo and his sisters have resigned from the Florence society, and their loss will be a severe one to that organiza tion, of which they were the central figures for two or three years. Miss Florence Robertson, who played Mrs.

Chotwynd in "Young Mrs. Winthrop" at the Florence performance on Wednesday night, has shown marked improvement since her last ap pearance, and promises well for one who is a mere boginner. According to an esteemed contemporary the reports which were common a few weeks ago to the offect that the "ghost" had failed to materialize in some instances at the conclusion of the Wisko season of professional amutenr opera were incorrect and calculated to do injustice to the manager. It such is the case it certainly was un fair to him. for he deserved better at the hands of those he gave employment to.

And even if they had not received their money when duo it was, or is probably, only a question of time when they will receive it, and again, if they never receive it, won't thoy consider themselves repaid by the fact that thoy had an opportunity to show their friends what they could do as operatic artists? It is hard to satisfy some people in this world. In tho meantime Mr. Wisko has the consolation of knowing that he gave a fine performance of the "Pirates" one that many a professional organization might be proud to emulate. As to the question of salaries unpaid at the close of the season, even that is tho prerogative of every operatic manager, groi orsmall if it isHho case; and as it has resolved itself into a question of veracity between the artists and tho esteemed contemporary who speaks for the manager, the public, who don't care a dime about it anyway, can form its own conclusions. What was tho matter with tho Gilbert programme man when ho was writing his copy for 'Eighteen Nineteeii four." He writes this: "The production of "Throe Hats' on December was an ungratilied success, and the Gilbert enters upon the.

New Year under tho happiest auguries." The question boforo tho house is Who wore ungratilied mining from the laughter and applause it certainly wasn't the audience. Now tho proper thing to do is for the editor to say that he wrote "unqualified" instead of "ungratifiod." and that an exasperating compositor, backed up by a circles? proofreader, mixed the words up.

"What Is oing On Among Guardians of the Peace. the Making Hay While the Sun Shines No Cause for Complaint Justice at All Hours A Big Staff and a Boom In Business Took His Doctor's Advice Too Previous. Commissioner Hayden's action in adding near ly one hundred patrolmen to tho list during the last few weeks has not passed by without comment.

Tf it has not been actually condemned it has been most severely criticised. Neither those appointed nor their friends have, of course, seen any reason to find fault. The growling has all boon done hy those who have begun or are just about to taste the pleasures of power, and who look, upon this step on the part of tho head of the police department as being altogether out of form. They think and say, too. that it would have looked much better if Mr.

Hayden had ben content to keep himself in a state of grace fnl inactivity during this last month of his term a month of grace, as some call it instead of busying himself in satisfying the demands of a lot of minor henchmon and thereby subtracting, to a considerable extent, from the working value of his successor. Mr. Hayden is by no means ignorant of tho opinions which are being passed upon his conduct, but there is no reason to believe that he is losing either flosb or sleep in consequence. Ho says that these hundred men, or whatever the number was, were wanted and they were wanted badly. The law provided amply for their appointment and he set them to work, taking tho names from the oivil service list supplied to him, and taking them just as they came.

Tim list is by no means exhausted, and when Mr. Welles gets his first chance to swell the force, it is by this particular document that he will have to be guided. There is no such thing as skipping ten or twenty names and taking one candidate in preference to nother. It's a case of first on the list, first served so they say. It wa never supposed that Commissioner Hayden had any groat predilections for civil service methods as applied to his own department and list week, when he spoke right out in mooting nd said as much as that ho believed the whole business to be afailnre, his remarks did not cause mnch surprise.

He claims that good men will not wait Bix or eig lit months for their appointment after a successful examination if any other suitable form of employment offers in the meantime and is of the opinion that most of those who do wait are looking forward to a life of ease. He thinks that there was a great deal to be said in favor of the old stylo of doing things, according to which a man was appointed as soon as those in authority were convinced that ho was fit, and that was as soon as his recommendations had been looked into and he had shown that he had enough horse sense and education for tho of a policeman. Moreover, he has not hesitated to say that the older element of the force, according to his experience, makes a better showing than the recruits of recent years. Proportionately ttio veterans give far less cause for oomplaint, appear to put more heart into their work and know more in every way, even when it is a case in which experience does not count. Mr.

Hayden ought to know whereof he speaks. Perhaps his conclusions may furnish soma of the more ardent supporters of civil service methods with cause for deep reflection. The rumor that the police jnstioes were to be shifted around from court to court at certain intervals, as they are in New York, has caused these more or less distinguished personages to do a trifle of guessing. They would like to know whether the report ha.s any good foundation or not, for if it has they are well aware things will not be quite as pleasant for them as they have been, and that the sooner thoy prepare to get a move upon themselves, so to speak, the better it will be. This system of rotation would mean more work a good deal raoro and this is what the public would like to have in return for their money.

That thej' are getting' by far the worst of their bargain with the magisterial body just now hardly admits of question. It may be that one of the number. Judge Walsh, has got a key to the hand writing on the wall, or' perhaps it came to him in a natural way, that it was somewhere about time for a revival. At any rate, he has begun to make a move, and the sooner the rest tail on the better they will be liked. His honor of Adams street has announced and caused it to be known in public places that justice will be on tap at his temple from 9 in the morning till 3 in the afternoon, with a decent intermission of course.

This is something like business. It would too much to expect that Mr. Justice Tighe could do so great violence to himself as to adopt similar hoars all at once, but he might extend the limit of his daily attendance half an hour or so at a 'time, so as to gradually prepare himself for the great change. This is the magistrate who catches time on the bounce. Instead of beginning work at 9 o'clock, it is then that as a general rule he is about finishing.

His idea of things is, two hours for the people, the rest of the day for himself. Expedition in public affairs is to be commended, but it is easily possible to have too much of a certain brand of the article. It's a sad matter to think of, but it's a fact that when it gets round to the sporting justice's turn to take the bench in Adams street, here will bo no living show for his gotting away bef oro 1 1 o'clock at the earliost. Justice Watson, in all likelihood does not care a blooming cent where he sits, so long as he has his fun. It's a great comfort to think that there is a chance of his taking tho road, as would happen under the proposed change.

Every section of the city may in time have the benefit of his continual performance. Roundsman Martin of the Third may be a trifle too strict in his relations with the patrolmen of his precinct, and disposod as some of them say to "rub it in," but however true these allegations may be it is none the less true that the subject of them iB not lacking in one of the most necessary attributes of a first class policeman, and that is clear grit. There is nothing of the coward about him, 'When he rushed into a burning building the other night with the hope of saving several persons therein imprisoned, it is no exaggeration to say that ho took his life in his hands. It was not expected that he would ever be seen again alive, but his courage was well rewarded. Ho not only rescued those who had begun to loot on death as certain, but escaped himself without serious injury.

He has been publicly thanked, but bare thanks are not sufficient return for brave actions such as this. Pecuniary reward is not coveted, but something in the shape of a lasting testimonial would be well bestowed and appreciated beyond price. The surgeons say that there is some let up in the sickness which has been vory unpleasantly prevalent since Christmas, but a good many patrolmen and some of highor rank are vet under the woather literally under tho weather, for it is the continual changes from cold to boat, and vice versa, which are responsible for the trouble. Captain Rhodes, the toughest man that ever wore a uniform, is on deck again and so well mended that it is hard to believe that there was over anything the matter with him. Captain En nis is also up and doing.

Captain loavey has too much flesh to make a good fight. He is still in flannels, but his case is not at all serious. Inspector Beilly, after strugzling longer than he ought to have done against a severe attack of malaria, has had to give in and is confined to his home. In former days when the headquarters detective squad was not half as strong, numerically speaking, as it is uovf, the sheet which serves as a chronicle of the daily doings of this astute body of men was frequently turned iu blank. When anything was set down, however, it was pretty safe to assume that tho event related was of some little consoquenoe u.t any rats.

In these times the same sheet is a newspaper on a small pale. Nearly every day all tho available space is taken up, and sometimes it is found necessary to issue a supplomout. The news matter is interesting or not, just as one looks at it. There are plenty of advertisements and some stuff which reads like theatrical puffs. Everybody is his own critic, so the aoticos ail read smooth onongli.

The squad, it is plainly evident, is conscious that in its reinforoed state some sort of showing is required of it, and a brave show it inakos on sapor. Arrests? Why, they are just pulling in the cnlprits by the dozen; and as to doings in distant counties yoa, oven states there is always something of tho sort to be related. As to clows, they are too common to mouiion. Inspoctor MacKollar has struck a boom, or, perhaps, to ap9ak more correctly, a boom has stfuwk him. As senior inspector he has not much leisure to he filled up at any time, but just now, owing to what may be aalled a concatenation of circumstances, he is kept going night and day.

It is part of his regular duty to begin and complete the theoretical education of the fledgling oops, and on account of tho brisk recruiting which has been going on of late, busi hanover cixirs SUPERINTENDENT. XVilliam I'. ICgiiu's Experience Put to A in tlio The loading social club of the eastern district Brooklyn the. Hanover, whose home is at the corner of Bedford avenuo and Rodney street, tho 4(H) members meet to eujoy all the comforts that modern art and science have pro for man's convenience. The club house is of the ino.t perfectly arranged in Brooklyn the reqiiirrmeutsof the membership is considered.

Numerous card rooms, a large billiard line bowling alloys, a lone parlor with reception room and a largo assembly and reading in which tiie numerous dances and entertainments take place, and last, but not least, a dining room that, while not over large, is well appointed, and to which fe annexed a smaller where the women of the members' families enjoy the good things of the club's cuisine. the caro of such an establishment, with the numerous help and the thousand and one matters to look after, tho supplies to purchase and accounts to keep, the superintendent. Will, F. Eagan, find his time very fully occupied. tho requisite ability to discharge his offices satisfactorily to the members rosts with Mr.

Eagan is made manifest by tho regard he is held by all, and particularly by the officers of the to whom his monthly reports havo been gratifying after somo experiences in tho While Mr. Eagan is not unknown to lirook lynites on tho hill, his advent with the Hanover in October last was his first venture in club management in Brooklyn. Ho brought with howover. an experience that makes him eminently fitted for tho nfiico ho now tills. For number of years ho resided on Lafayette avenue, a door or two from the Oxford club, in a WILLI A F.

EOAX. house ownod by him and afterward occupied by Charles S. Higgins. His first experience in the in which he has become an expert was in management of several hotels in New York and elsewhere, winding up with the Hotel Frontetiac at Thousand Islands. This ho left to assume charge of the affairs of tho Lamb's club Now York city, where his success was so pro nounced that after considerable hesitation he prevailed upon to go to the St.

Nicholas club and endeavor to pull thoir affairs out a problem that seemed almost nnsolv ablo. Hero he met with considerable opposition in his methods at first but in a vcry few months had not only overcome loeiing on tne part, ot tho members but, in troduced a system that soon put tho club where should be financially, llo was with tho St four years, resigning as manager on account of tho increasing duties which ho was unwilling to assume. Willi this experience the officers of Hanover club have found in Mr. Egan a superintendent that filled a long felt want. Ho instituted a.

change iu tho entire system of management and has already presented monthly reports with a balance on tho right side of the sheet. He makes all purchases himself niidran toll at any moment just what is in tho houso and whero it is to bo found. Perhaps the most noticeable feature of tho new departure is tho cuisine. Mr. Egan does not bolievo in French cooks for American dishes, and says that no cook iu tho world can excel an American in roasting a fowl or broiling a chop or a steak.

Ho bus a German chof, assisted by several colored cooks, and iu tho preparation of dinner claims so superior. The Hanover club members aro mostly family men, and tho fact that Mr. Egan's idea of a properly prepared menu is appreciated by thorn is shown by tho increased service in tho diningroom. where a table d'hoto is on every night and where other orders can be fillod at any timo. The management of the Hanover club is very liberal, as will no doubt be attested by the many members of sistor clubs who visit tho club bouse in engaging in tho inter club tournaments, after the games of which tho cafe becomes tho scene of interest.

None who have sat down to tho festive board will forget tho chowders, the roasts or the game, nor tho way they aro prepared and served. Mr. Egan is iu middle life and his even, courteous manner makes him a fitting representative in the business affairs in so lepresentative a club as tho Hanover. PATCllOGUE SOTKS. On Tuesday and Wednesday openings the village relief bureau received a benefit from the performance of J.

S. Coyne's comedy, "A Widow Hunt," by tho Patchogtio amateurs. Tho Pateh ogue amateurs is a new name for an old organization. It was formerly known as tho Patchogue Dramatic club. Its name may havo been changed to lead the public into believing it would see some new actor or actress.

If tho public so believed il was badly disappointed as those taking part have acted hero time and timo again, till their audience knowi just what is coming next, and how each member of the cast will act. whether it be tragedy, comedy or farce. The only ono on the bill entirely new was Miss Emma Grady, and her part was not of an important nature. All acquitted themselves with credit as amateurs. Mr.

Ernest Fishnl deserves mention for his conscientious work as Folix Featherly. The entire cast was as follows: Felix Featherly. Mr. Ernest Fishei; Frank leebrook. Mr.

Tho relief bureau has been of much benefit to Patchoguo's poor during the winter, and it was a groat pleasure to the zealous officers having tho fund in chargo to receive tho substantial aid given by tho amateurs.

Tho second half year of the season's work in Brooklyn Institute of Arts aud Sciences begins on February 1. and the number and character of the lectures, readings and concerts will bo more than equal to what has been accomplished the institute in any previous half year. The department of political science, which is one of strongest in the instittito, has arranged for a course of lectures in the American statesmen series by Professor John Fiske of Cambridge Mass. This course is to be given on Thursday evenings during the month of Fobruary and the following interesting characters in first half century of Amorican indo" pendenco: Daniel Webster.

Dr. Brooks has recently returned from several years' study of tho social and ndustrial conditions in Europe and has been appointed by the governor of Massa chusetts.

state commissioner to investigate tho social and industrial conditions in that The subjects he will treat aro "Social Democracy Germany," "Democracy in the French Communes," "Tho Political and Labor Movements itt England" and "The Relation of the European Social and Industrial Conditions to Labor Problems in the United States." The above eighteen lectures before the department of political science are open to all members of tho institute and. will follow tho course by Dr. Eggleston, now being given boforo tho institute on "The Early Intellectual Life in the United States." The largest organization in the institute numerically, is the department of philology which contains about nine hundred members. This department presents a large number of popular lectures on literary subjects and dramatic readings. Among the courses announced for the second half of the season are six dramatic readings from Robert Browning's "The Ring and tho Book," by Mrs.

Harriot Otis Dellonbaugh of New York. These readings will be open to all members of the institute, and will occur ou Tuesday and Friday afternoons in February and anrl March. Mr. I'ercival Chubb, whose lec tures during the past five years have been so highly appreciated by tho eitizons of Brooklyn will follow Mrs. lh Ucubaugh's readings with a course of nine lecture's on selected masterpieces in literature.

Each lecture will be a unit in it ielf ami will present as in a single picturo each, of tho following works: Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus."

Two years ago (ieorgo William Curtis gave his famous address of eulogy on James Russell Lowell.

Last year tho Rev. John W. Chadwiek delivered the address of eulogy on Mr. Curtis and this year tha Right Rev. Bishop Clark of Rhode Island, a long personal friend of the lato Bishop Brooks of Massachusetts, will deliver an address of eulogy upon Phillips Brooks.

Tho last public address by Bishop Brooks was given in this city before the Now England society on December 21, 1892. Bishop Clark is a fine speaker aud his sympathy with tho work of Bishop Brooks makes him the most desirable eulogist and the most conspicuous religious teacher of tho past quarter of a century in this country. Many of the other departments of tho institute havo provided courses of lectures for the last half of tho season. Among the more interesting of thorn are six lectures by Professor George Trumbull Ladd of Yale university on "The Psychology of Sleep and Dreams." Dr. John P.

Peters, late of the University of Pennsylvania and lecturer at Columbia college, will deliver a course of six lectures on "The Psalms as Literature." It is safe to predict that no course, so far arranged by the institute has been of greater value or will awaken wider and more genuine interest than that by Dr. Peters. A course on French Political Loaders will be given by Professor A. Laurent de Villsroy. in April and May, before the French section of the institute.

A number of courses of lectures aro also arranged on botany, geology, architecture, archieol ogy. painting, German literature and the Spanish drama. The total number of lectures open to tho members of the institute without cost is over two hundred or on the average of two lectures a day, one in tho afternoon and one in the evening, from Fobruarv 1 to June 1. In addition to the lectures that aro open to every member there are several special courses of instruction, that are attended by those who desire to pursue their studies with tho aid of text books and books of reference. Among theso courses ara tho lectures of Mrs.

Abby Sago Richardson on "The Plays of Shakspcare." Profossor Thomas Davidson on "Dante's Dr. Richard J. H. Gottheil. on Hebrew Language and Professor Menco Stern Schiller.

The dramatic readings by Mr. George Riddle, accompanied by orchestral music, whioh began on Friday afternoon and Saturday eveninff of tho past week, will continue to the end of February. Each drama is attended by about 'J, 400 people, 1.100 in the afternoon and in th evening. The series of concerts ou Wednosday evenings is also very largely attended, the number in attendance being limited to the size of the auditorium. During tho spring months several organ recitals, open to all the members without expense, will be given.

Professor Hooper says that no institution in the country, or iu the world, aff ords so large number of valuable and interesting lectures and entertainments or provides so groat a variety of instruction tor the sum a year as does the and Sciences.

Gifard. Scandinavian Pictures at the American Fine Arts allery. Painters With Fresh Eyes and Fearless Hands. A New School Another Customs Iniquity. The Klackner Collection A Crusade by Women Recent Publications.

One sees with a fresh, pleased eye tho tiOO works of art from Holland, Sweden and Norway hat wero at the world fair, now that they are spread upon the more limited wall space of the American fine arts galleries and havo no other pictures to interfere with them. Certain distractions in Chicago prevented all those who wero not people of abundant leisure from enjoying to the full the art of the different countries, but thoso distractions do not obtain in the cool, evenly lighted rooms of the house on West Fifty seventh street, where so many good exhibi 1011a are to be seen nowadays. We all knew what Dutch art was like some years ago, but the Scandinavians had not come within our ken until this summer, and then they and the Russians proved to be an interesting novelty. Their work is probably the frankest in color that is to he seen, yet it is usually harmonious even when it is vivid. Strange that a people in the cold and supposedly colorless north BBoutd nave such a fund of chromatic joy in their esthetic mani festations.

Perhaps it is the hunger for color that manifests itself in this way, Let it be said right at the beginniug that those are the best pictures that are nor mally and originally Scandinavian. For those that reflect Paris schools one has little patience even though their technical merits may be thought to surpass the native work. The Ameri can young mon can not know too soon that their case is the same, for the fame of some of them is not a personal and lasting one, but only a fame of somo school master like Gerome or Bouguor oau. When these Northerners do go to Paris. they seem to become emasculated, and one can fancy them in dapper Paris coats, with lit tie riuue nats on tneir heads and cigarettes in their teeth and the silly talk of Parisians on their tongues.

A hundred times rather give us tne orawny tollows out or tho icy hills and tho lonesome woods, with their rough clothes, their red ciieeks and their honest manners and give us that iu their art as won aa in their personality. Ihe requeues ot ice and snow as subjects indicates the origin ef these pictures well, but it is not cold and dreary snow that we see; it is snow that has been transmuted in tho fire of an ardont imagination and takes on tho tints of tho late afternoon and the twilight glow. Striking and strong is that "Win tor" by Wilholm Bohm, with its blue shadows and its recognizable truths of wood and undergrowth that hold of Norway as they do of New England, two parts of tho oarth that will fre quently be compared and suggested in this exhi bition. It is so unusual to find the member of a royal family who knows nioro than tho law allows or who docs anything except to eat. drink, and break up tho noace of families that tho ap pearance of Prince F.tigotio of Sweden and Nor way as an artist is surprising.

He lias been to school and has six pictures here to show for it. "The Forest," with its sunsot striking through the narrow vistas in the wood being painted with Kill. The purples and greens are employed in a daring fashion. August Hagborg is one of the few of his race that we know already and perhaps bocause ho lives in Paris, but ho is not one of the best. His treatment of subjects suggests tho Frenchmen and he would be better employed on people and things of his own country.

One may admire the physical strength with which he has hurled his "Bijou and Honore" on canvas, an old man and a horso that seem about to inarch out of the frame. A. Jung stedt gives us the blaze of sun on sand in his "Railroad Laborers" and he has an oasy, natural disposition of the figures in this scene that suggest an instantaneous photograph. Nils Kreuger paints with a soft, ample brush and in ripe color. Note the richness and juiciness of his pigments in his with the silvery moonlight that does not kill his local color.

Oarl Larsson of Gothenburg has a big canvas with a cross bar cutting tho lower quarter oi it ana joKmgly used lor a painted young ster to rost his elbows on. My Family," he calls it, and it is so sympathetic and affectionate a work that every one likes it. From its size it might seem that ho intends it for a mural decoration in his own house; the cozy residence that figures in the near background of his pretty and unaf fected group. Ax Lindniah goes to Italy for his subjects and paints five of them there, the warm sub tropical pinks and yellows of the day land scape finding in him a congenial interpreter. Bruno Liljefors in his "Grouse Shooting," em phasizes the resemblance between Scandinavian scenery and ours, for this might he in the Green mountains and tne lurking ngure might be a Yankee with a nasal twang.

There is a col lector of pictures in this city who has been through an experience with tho politi cians in the custom house. During a visit to Eu rope he bought five old pictures in Ostein! at a cost oi 1.S00 francs, as the receipts showed, tho same being attested by the United States consul. The Colector states the sequel: "They wero i voiced and shipped to New York. At the custom house tho appraiser promptly raised their valuation to 4,000 francs, with the addod implication that fraud of undervaluation was intended. By accidont, the notice of this raise was sent to tho wrong person, and its delivery to the owner of the pictures was delayed until the limit of timo in which he oould have secured tho submission of the matter to the board of appraisers had passed.

Government then seized the pictures. Ihe owner took immediate steps to recover hi property and compel tho rotraction of the implication of undervaluation. Competent and ex periencod judges examined the seized pictures, and unanimously testified before tho United States commissioner that solar from being worth 4,000 francs, they were not worth half the 1,800 francs paid for them. Only two had market vulue, and these a low one. The others were not salable, and two of the experts, dealers of repute, refused to estimate upon them.

All wore unsigned and unknown origin. It was. moreover, shown by the owner's drafts in payment and his receipts that he had invoiced them at tho price he had paid for them. Still government hold them, and it was only by tho continuous efforts of tho owner's counsel at Washington that atrial of tho claim on its merits was forced. This trial came up before Judge Brown aud a jury.

Former testimony in favor of the complaint ivas repeated and strengthened. The United States district attorney relinquished the implication of fraud, hut insisted that tho appraisal of tho custom houso deputy should bo sustained. This official was put on tho stand to show why his decision that pictures worth leos than at a liberal estimate, should, by his mero opinion, bo assessed at more than four times that sum, and at more than double what tho purchaser had been unwise enough to pay for them. This testimony should be of interest to all collectors. Ho had held office for ten yours.

What knowledge of tho valuo of works of art qualified him to pass on them could not be extracted from him. Ho admitted that when ho was ill doubt, especially about private consignments, ho consulted a dealer aud all dealers object to collectors spending abroad tho money they might spend at homo. moreover, thoy are willing to flatter his opinions in consideration of his friendliness in connection with their own importations. It oamo out in his testimony that he had raised theso pictures question on such advice. Ho admitted that unsigned and unknown paintings had no standard value.

Tiion ho made the astonishing statement that ho did not appraise such pictures according to their cost, but according to what thoy might sell for. That is to say that, for objects which had no fixed value he provided his own or somebody else's figures. Tho infallibility denied to tho Supreme pontiff this petty office holder by political favor arrogated to himself. To cap the climax ho admitted that of two pieces of sculpture identical in character, ono, imported by a dealer, had passed him at the doalor's price, and the other, imported by a private person, had been dutiod at threo'iimos tho same figure. Ho naively added that tho privato person had paid an excessive price to somo foreign dealer.

Yet ho had uot raised tho figure of tho other pioce, in fnco of the fact that ho claimed to appraise things not on what they hud cost in Europe, but on what they might soli for in Now York. The farce ended by the judge instructing tho jury to render a verdict for tho claimant, but at what cost! llo is vindicated of tho charge of fraud, and ho will got his pictures back somo day. But to arrive. at this end he has spentmoro moiioy than incompetent officialism imposed on them, as a solf created valuation of what was admitted uudor oath to be practically valueloss. Even a specific duty would be preferable to tho eontin a in tliing, and maybe more satisfied.

It is alleged that he only sloops one night a week. If so ho must he glad of extra duty to fill in all his waking hours. Captain Short is one of tho most generous men alive. Ho is always giving something away never himself, however and in consequence he staye poor, or comparatively so. A pleasant custom he lias is the bestowal every once in a while of some little toopsake or other upon each of his fellow captains.

They hate to impoverish him and yet they don't like to say nay. When the new yearjbroke the koepsake took the shapo of an artistic calendar, such as the best people hang in their libraries. These wero duly appreciated, but there was more to oome. Last Wednesday he lugged down to headquarters a package which was load enough for a mule. In it wero some three dozen Jwall ornaments plaques or something of that kind of most chaste design and bearing the inscription in green and yellow letters: "Love your Home." Someone was mean enough to say that the whole outfit had been got at a fire sale.

That may have been so, but they were fine goods all the same no three for a quarter look about them. Mr. Brenner, who will presently step into the shoes of the polite and accomplished Mr. Mc Closkey as counsel to the board of police and excise, is spoken of as a person quite competent to appreoiate the comforts of the office. He has not worked for the city before and possibly he may be a little surprised when he finds how pleasantly the pay is apportioned to the hours put in.

He may even offer to return some of his first month's salary, as it is said Counselor Mc Closkey violently desired to do. but it is scarcely likely. Men so full of scruples don't run like shad. Patrolman GeorgeeF. Kelly of the Tenth is in a peck of trouble.

Some would call it a busheL He will bo known to police posterity as the man who succeeded in rolling up six charges against him self considerably inside of one week. There were two charge to his account to begin with which he and the commissioner were to have talked about last Tuesday, but George, waxing fearful, was foolish enough to stay away from the trial room, thinking perhaps that he might be lost sight of in the shuffle. Nothing of the kind occurred, but failing to show up was scored against Mr. Kelly as a fresh start, and inside of the next two days three additional complaints assorted kinds were filed against him. If he keeps this thing up it will be necessary to catch him and try him on some special day all by him self.

Some of the central office men have manifested a disposition to kick on account of being assigned with considerable frequency as guards over houses where a smallpox quarantine exists. They themselves do not like talcing the risk and their families entertain objections also, both personal and otherwise. A case of smallpox was discov ered recently in the bouse of a central office man and, as ho had been watching infected premises. he concluded that the disease had been trans mitted through him. The whole squad was vaccinated last week and there is sorrow in Snug Harbor.

The police claim that the health de partment should supply watchmen, but the health office people say, "Not much," and bo the matter stands. In connection with this question there occurs the chance to call on the proverb whioh starts It's an ill wind. Among those on trial on Tuesday wa3 one accused of being caught in a saloon in the very act of hiding about his person a good stout snifter of brandy. "It is quite true, he made answer. "I cannot teil a lie.

I did drmk the brandy, and it wasn't the first that day either. I was watching a smallpox house. and my doctor told me that in justice to myself I ought not to be backward in hurling a few in while exposed to the risk. He's an A No. 1 doctor.

Mr. Commissioner, and I took his advice." This honest policeman who could not tell a lie and who did "hurl a few in" got off with a reprimand. If there had been no smallpox in the case he would, in all likelihood, have been looking for a ship before now. Mr. Welles, the commissioner "what is to for really he is no commissioner yet.

has been putting in nis spare time visiting the various station houses during the last two weeks. His dropping was a surprise to most of the cap tarns and sergeants who had the pleasure of receiving him. for visiting of this kind was never known before. Commissioners have always waited until they actually had the reins in their hands before making calls. In the Twentieth precinct tho sergeant in charge made an entry in the blotter that at such and such an hour Commissioner Welles had been at the station house.

If Mr. Hayden had dropped in as well the books would have shown a queer state of things. Two kings and only one throne. This sergeant ran wild. There was no occasion for him to chronicle Mr.

Welles' visit at all. A commissioner's visit is always set down, but that's another thing WITH THE AMATEURS. Whai is Coing On Among: cm Societies. the Diffcr A busy week with the amateurs closed last night. Three performances, with their attendant dress rehearsals, made business for the mimic players.

Tho Amaranth artists seemed to have been stirred up to some advantage by the fire that gava them such a fright during their rehearsal on Monday evening and several of them quite outdid themselves at Wednesday evening's performance. The Florence followed suit on Thursday evening at the Criterion and the Booth on Friday night closed up the week's work, leaving but one January performance of tho leading societies to be given that of the Melpomene. The Amaranth will produce in February an original play by an American author for the first time before the public. The suggestions made in this column recently to the effect that tho amateurs of the city would do well to give a few performances for the sake of sweet charity, and the offer made by Mr. James J.

Darling ou behalf of the Standard Comedy company to play under the patronage of any one of the charitable societies of the city for that purpose, seems to have stirred up the warm hoart ed players to the propriety and necessity of adding to the loaves and fishes being gathered together to feed the poor. The Florence is considering a plan, and the Booth, urged on by its hustling secretary, Mr. Hoffmau, has taken active steps toward preparing a scheme to add to the treasury of the good cause a comfortable supply of ducats. All honor to them for their good intentions, and when they shall have played their pieces and turned over their gains they will feel better satisfied with their work than they ever did before. At the last meeting of tho Gilbert Dramatic association, held at its rooms, 531 Fulton street, on Monday evening, January 13.

Mr. Frank S. Parker was elected as secretary in place of Mr. P. H.

Bristow, lately resigned. Mr. Parker was the unanimous choice of the meeting, thore being no other candidate. Mr. Arthur Hoffman, secretary of the Booth, who has lately become a membor of the Gilbert ana whose name had been mentioned in connection with tho secretaryship of the latter society, declined to have his name presented as a candidate when he found that one of the old members was willing to accept the position.

Considerable curiosity was evinced at the Academy of Music last Wednesday evening to see what the effect would be of the request made by the society that its women friends would not wear hats that would interfere with the vision of those who sat behind them who desired to see as well as to hear what was going on upon tho stage. A self appointed committee of male mem. bors of the organization closely scanned tho wearers of tho towering constructions, and the report was as follows: Protty women, none; elderly women, three; women of uncertain ages, seven; young girls between 30 and 40, five; blond haired women, two; ruddy haired, three; brunettes, three; giddy young creatures uuder 30, four. It is proposed to get up a prize to bo given the wearer of tho most stupendous and towering head cover at the Fobruary performance. It is not definitely decided what it shall be, but a paper bandbox of appropriate dimensions with a suitable inscription handed to the owner of the champion hat would, it is thought, bo a graceful testimonial, minus a presentation speech.

Tho many friends of Mrs. Percy G. Williams will be glad to laam that she is now convalescent. The popular comedian of tho Amaranth has been compelled, ou account of his wife's illness, to forego his appearance with the society this season, but it is. hoped that he will soon have an opportunity to entertain his friends.

The followiug article, entitled "Concerning Climax," appeared in the January number of tho Gilbert programme, and being from tho pen of Mr. C. T. Catlin, an authority on tho legitimate drami. and of undoubted interest to amateur players, it is given in full: Some curious misapprehensions manage to find their way into dramatic usage, and the tableau lustrated with various of Mr.

Chavannos' pictures, in which a delicato sadness of moaning is convoyed through an assumption of archaism in composition and figure treatment. Charles B. Birch, a sculptor of spirited work, lias a memorial in both literary and pictorial form, his "Last Call" exhibiting tho most action and his "Lady Godiva" tho groatost charm of form. Thero are photogravures from illuminated missals and full pago engraving of a Christ blessing children, by an unknown painter of tho school of Rembrandt. The characters are all Dutch and the artist was a Von Uhdo of his day; but, of course, little attention was paid in tho timo of the masters to propriety of costume and surrounding.

A head of a girl by Leighton is another full pago picture. Current art is denoted pictures by Fowler. Chelminski, Cotman, Brewtnall, Clark. McNab, Bobinso'n, Bunny and Bundy, while Hunt, Moissonior and Uerkomor are represented in a notice of the Riiston collec tion, and thero are eight illustrations in the notebook. Tho literary contents aro soundly written.

Tho Art Interchange for tho current month contains three pictures in color a spray of wild roses with a butterfly hoveling over them and shown against blue sky, delicately painted by Paul de Longpro; a sunny hit of out of door? by DuBois F. Hasbrouek. showing a bridged stream with boat, willows and distant buildings, and a columbine decoration by Otto 'loaspern. A panel for screen or mural painting, water, trees and swans, is in crayon. Designs for carving embroidery and china ornamenta tion are likewise given.

Frank Miles calls tho frank and protty face that forms the frontispiece, "Looking Into the Future." A paper on miniatures is illustrated with examples after Chalon, Boxall, Cattermore. Carpenter. Wright, Sharp and Mulready. Tho gorgeous jewelry art of Russia is indicated in drawings of crowns, a censer and a dratina. A paper on Rembrandt, one on leather work for women, one on pen and ink drawing, ono on Cazin and others on iron work, the Nathan Hale statue, houso decoration, luces, china painting and suburban houses are illustrated.

Written comment on the various pictures and art news is direct, frank and instructive. Mr. Klacknor has put a collection of 158 pictures into tho Fifth avenue callorios. where thev will bo sold on Tuesday mid Wednesday evenings Uieso pictures aro in both oil and water color, and are works that ho bought of tho artists to copy in his popular etchings and photogravures. i hoy have been accumulating until ho requires room, for he has become a gonoral dealer as well as a publisher, anil his gallery, though moderate ly largo, cannot hold everything that ho might wish to put into it.

They want the portraits of notorious criminals aud prize fighters to remain unpublished, they want tho underwear not, to be exhibited on the "woman's page." they want comparative drawings of tho legs of comic ooera singers to remain in the manager's office, and they do not care to have illustrated articlos, by cheeky spies, on the appearance of woll known women in Turkish baths included in the Sunday miscellany. Not only the women, but a great majority of newspaper workers will bo glad to see these things put away, and when they go the decorations on the patent medicine advertisements ought to keep them company. If there is any Jaw against illustrative villainy, or any disposition of public officers to execute it, we should presently soo the last of tho so called police newspapers in New York and the disgusting periodical termed Music and Drama, which is a gross libel on two beautiful arts. Probably the most effective crusade that can be urged is the discontinuance of subscriptions to newspapers that offend tho eye of tho moral sense. Soventy six pictures, sketches, drawings and etchings by the late Anton Mauve, aro to be shown at the Macbeth gallery until Mauve is ono of the great men it is saying rather too muoh of him to publish him as tho greatest man among the modern Dutchmen.

He was a leader as well as a painter and ho perhaps influenced more of the young artists than any of his contemporaries. His technic was almost solf acquired and he died before he was leaving his pictures to be scrambled for, as usual. Most, of the oxhibits aro pencil and charcoal sketches, slight and hasty, and tho oils wore mostly painted at a sitting. George I. Senoy proves to have been a collector of prints.

Ho used them all to decorate his home. Most of them are platos in proof states, of the rarest and finest. The etchers represented include liajon, Bracquemond, Koepping, Debainos and Macbeth and many of tho old engravers are represented, too. D'Emery. the French dramatist made money.

About a million dollars of it his wife put into porcelains, ivories, lacquers, metal work and other "objects of bigotry and virtue." There aro 4,700 of theso pieces and it took 40 years to collect them. They have become tho property of the French nation. Charles Volkmar, who is better known as a ceramist than a painter, is said to be one of first of American artists to take up etching. His first plate was made in when ho was 18 yoars old. Hubert G.
