and perfectly fair, let us name a subject in which Tissot's treatment is far Inferior to Raphael's in the given quality, "Feed My Lambs," No. 347. It should be added that In this picture the modern painter, has not attempted any grouping of a large number of figures. As a final example of and largo composition I will name the "Woman of Sa marla" (No. 69).

By this painting we are carried over to the quality of Tissot's color, ol which it is an excellent and favorable example. The greatest color scheme of the collection I consider to be No; 323, "Tie Holy Virgin kisses the face of Christ before it is wrapped in the winding sheet." Near it and hardly less beautiful In this regard Is No. 321, "The Holy Virgin Receives the Body of Jesus." The examples of Tissot's power in color harmonies are very numerous "and th "Last Supper" may be again mentioned as a good example of this quality. Imaginative power is ultimatelythe ard of appeal in rating a work of Before a group can be composed it must be imagined i the subject itself must bo thought out. as one available for a picture.

The Italian. artists were not necessarily, or constantly, called upon for the of this talent. Michael Angelo possesesd it to a larger degree than any other Italian painter, except Da Vinci, Gitto had it to perfection, but the traditional subjects had developed so slowly and were all so definitely fixed and so numerous that even a great artist was not called upon for new inventions unless he chose to offer them. The addition of new episodes or of new subjects CAN. An Altercation in the Republican Executive.

Committee Over a Small Appointment, Which Leads to an Estimate of the Value of Atterbury's Fervid Indorsement of an' Applicant for Place An Instructive Exhibit Illustrative of His Peculiar Methods A Man Grossly Deceived. Register Howe's office continues to be a storm center. Last night hot words were exchanged in the Republican executive committee during a discussion of patronage. Ex Judge Laimbeer asserted with some warmth that he had not been accorded the patronage which he was entitled to receive from Census Supervisor Walter B. Atterbury, and the latter mildly defended the course pursued by him with the statement that Register Howe and Commissioner of Records Waldo had made appointments that were not recommended by the organization.

Bert Relss entered a disclaimer on behalf of Register Howe, who Is now in Florida, and' asked if Warren C. Treadwell, Jesse Frost and others had not been appointed on the recommendation of the Republican organization. Among those who had been appointed from Mr. Atterbury's ward, Reiss named Joseph F. Daniels.

Whereupon Mr, Atterbury is said to have remarked: ''Daniels was appointed for a newspaper It Is' within the knowledge of the writer that; Mr. Atterbury wrote to Mr. Howe a letter strongly indorsing Daniels' application appointment, a letter in which the census supervisor said: "We shall all be pleased to see Mr. Daniels secure a place." Mr. Atterbury's letter, written by him in Daniels' behalf as a member of the Executive Committee, was one of the strongest indorsements of the many presented to Register Howe, and for this reason the attempt to credit the man's appointment to a newspaper man places census supervisor in the attitude of one discrediting a supposedly hone3t recommendation for appointment.

Daniels' case illustrates forcibly the policy of double dealing pursued by certain members of the Local Republican Trust, and the facts concerning his appointment are commended to the thoughtful consideration of Republicans throughout this Borough: Shortly after Register Howe's election Mr. Daniels called upon a fellow member of the Janes M. E. Church and asked if he could help him in securing an appointment under the newly elected official. Mr.

Daniels had formerly been employed as a copyist in the County Clerk's office. He was known to his official superiors as a faithful, industrious man, "of strict integrity and excellent habits, in politics a Republican, but not of the pot house kind. The fellow churchman to whom Daniels applied for advice said to him: "I do not know Mr. Howe. I cannot ask him to appoint you, because I am not a member of his party.

I suppose that he will make his appointments through the Republican organization. Can you get the indorsement of your district officers?" "Yes," said Daniels. "The president of the district and other officers will cheerfully indorse my application for appointment. Senator Marshall will also Indorse me." "It will probably be necessary for you to secure the Indorsement of Mr. Atterbury, who represents your district In the Executive Committee.

Can you get his indorsement?" "Why, yes," said Daniels. "He told my son he waB anxious to see me get a place." "Get his indorsement and you should stand a good chance of securing an appointment," Was the advice given to Daniels. The candidate for a picayune appointment called upon Mr. Atterbury and was greeted effusively by that Individual. Mr.

Atterbury seemed delighted to be able to perform a service for Daniels and forthwith wrote a letter of indorsement which was almost ex travagant in the terms of commendation used. I have read this letter, and it is a pity that Register Howe Is not in town to produce Mr. Atterbury's unqualified indorse ment and recommendations made in behalf of Daniels, for a reading of this letter would throw a calcium light upon the census super visor's methods. Armed with Mr. Atterbury's strong Indorsement, which was supplemented with letters from' Senator Marshall and officers of his district association, and a letter from his pastor, Mr.

Daniels sought Register Howe's headquarters and presented his certificates of eood character, capacity and Republican ism. He was told they would receive due consideration. Before Register Howe announced his appointment he was visited by Atterbury and, according to an uncontradicted statement made to the Republican Executive Committee last night' by Bert Reiss, the census supervisor said, in the course of his conversation with Howe: "Disregard those letters. I had to write a good many letters." Howe held Atterbury down to the recommendation he had made in behalf of Daniels, appointed the man as he had been asked to do over the Census Supervisor's The man to whom Daniels had gone for advice did not ask Mr. Howe to appoint him.

One of the Register's subordinates who sustains confidential relations with him, writes as follows of Mr. Daniels' appointment: "He was appointed on the recommendation of the members of his party organization." Here was an honest man, without a blemish, on his character, seeking a small place from the party which he had served faithfully for many years, backed not only by every officer of his party entitled to be heard ir. the matter, but also commended by number of self sustaining citizens cognizant of his excellent character, Indorsed by his pastor and his Senator, warmly recommended for appointment by Atterbury himself as a member of the Executive Committee and there you have Mr. Atterbury deciaring that Daniels was appointed by Register Howe for a man who never wrote or spoke a word to the Register in the applicant's behalf. Something might be said in mitigation of an effort to disclaim responsibility for Danlelo" appointment if the man ere a pot house politician of unsavory character, but the contrary is the case, for he Is competent, honest and unblemished a3 to reputation.

That is an exhibit which ought to open the eyes of Twenty third Ward Republicans to the worth of any declarations that Walter B. Aterbury may make over his own signature. And the exhibit should serve Republicans generally throughout this community, for it thoroughly discloses the methods of this controlling spirit of the Local Republican Trust. Another disclosure of the double dealing methods ot the Local Republican Trust was made at the meeting of the executive committee last night: The Register's and County Cleric's bills, providing that these officials shall bo paid salaries instead of fees, were refered to in last night's discussion. John Deubert took occasion to say that he had not introduced the motion calling for the approval of these bills.

Another member in trying to mollify Deubert, who had been made to assumo a position in conflict with his real views concerning these bills, Intimated that the resolution didn't amount to anything, for '''r' and shows much that is altogether new.

In the great period of religious art the position of the painter included that of the historian, of the man of letters, and of assistant to the spiritual guides of mankind. In the absence of printed hooks, painting and relief took their place, and art was painted literature.

As it gradually lost this place in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries it gradually declined. All philosophy on the subject of modern painting must recognize the incomparable greatness of religious painting down to the close of the first quarter of the sixteenth century, as duo to the rarity or absence of printing. The invention of printing dates from the middle of the fifteenth century and it was about seventy five years before its diffusion and use were sufficiently extended to seriously cripple the mission which painting had so far filled, of carrying the Bible to the masses by its illustrations on the walls of churches and of cloisters and on the panels of altars and of shrines. The average technical superiority of old art, as compared with modern, is due In the first place to the greater number of old artists and to their wider ex perience in monumental design, for technique is the result of practice and experience and this again depends on patronage. The nendulum of history moves slowly.

After three centuries of gradual retrogression in the art of monumental design it has begun once more to swing toward the wider employment of art for serious and nstructive purposes, ana with tms move ment the painter begins once more to grasp after his old distinction of religious instruc tor and religious Illustrator. No attempt to appreciate the Tissot paintings can be a just one, which does not concede, to start with, their wholly phenomenal appearance in the domain of recent modern art. It is. the distinction of their creator to have attempted what no one else in our time has ever dreamed of attempting, a systematic and consistent pictorial interpretation and exposition of the New Testament gospels. The attitude of the critic to these pictures will be wholly controlled by his atti tude to these gospels and justly so.

As soon as the subject matter of the pict ure comes to me irout uuca of the critic to that suMec matter aiso come to the front. Indifference to the Bible and indifference to Christianity are common enough in our day. Indifference to the Tissot pictures will be not less common. So far thPir nhenomenal success in a popular sense has been due to Bible students. This will continue to De tne case.

iu are enough of these in the world to insure an immortal fame to this collection. As far as critics are concerned, there is only one thing to be asked of them and that Is that the pictures be compared by them with others of the same kind, done in the same country; or if a glance be thrown back r.pman and Italian predecessors of the' sixteenth and fifteenth centuries, then let the critic be careful to cnarge me smau dimensions of these paintings to the score of the nineteenth century and not to the score of Tissot. If Tissot has painted the "Last Supper" on a panel of two and a half feet in length, while Da Vinci painted on the same subject in nearly double life size, it is the invention of printed books and above all of printed Bibles which is primarily to be invoked as an explanation. But the capacity for monumental composition is cot necessarily controlled by dimensions. This capacity undoubtedly tends to disappear In periods which do not practice it.

This capacity has undoubtedly almost wholly disappeared from the nineteenth century. Tissot has revived this, in small dimensions, it is true; but none the less he has revived it. Even in the seventeenth century monumental figure composition was a thing of the past. Figure composition naturally declined with the abandonment of wall paint it.it rind w. iii naintinc went out of fashion in the sixteenth century.

The "Aurora" of Guido is the only truly groat wall picture oi tne seventeenth century. It was mainly in landscape that monumental composition survived in the seventeenth century and outside of TIssot's work it is almost wholly in landscape that it survives (when it does survive) to day. To sav that Tissot is the greatest monumental composer and figure designer of the nineteenth century is not sayinc too much. The small dimensions in which he has worked in the present collection undoubtedly tend to obscure this greatness; but Ghiberti has never been discredited on account of tho dimensions of the panels of his bronze doors in Florence. Let us then, from this point of view, examine the "Last Supper" by Tissot.

For an artist dealing with the New Testament the "Last Supper" is the subject by which he must first be tested. I have accordingly visited the Tissot. collection in order to compare Tissot's picture, of this subject with other well known compositions. There are only three others to be considered as In rivalry with It. All others may be calmly laid on one side.

These three are Raphael's small picture in. the Loggia of the Vatican, Rubens' oil in the Brera Gallery in Milan and the immortal work by Da Vinci in the same city. Raphael's picture is generally admitted to be below his usual quality and he is undoubtedly and easily the greatest monumental composer, on the whole, In all Christian art. Still it is saying something to say that Tissot has surpassed Raphael in this particular subject. As a.

matter of balance and arrangement. Tissot's "Last Supper" is undoubtedly superior to that of Rubens and In dramatic power it is equal to it. at least. The care with which Tissot's picture is arranged shows that he was considering the ordeal to which he would be exposed, of a comparison with Da Vinci's comoositlon. I advise critics who are examining the Tissot pictures to begin with the "Last Supper" and to compare it with Da Vinci's.

It would be heresy to prefer Tissot. I only say; compare the two and then admit that Tissot has only one superior in the whole range of Christian art for his monumental composition of this subject. Under the term "monumental the availability of the design for a monumental i. e. a life size picture.

Tho coloring of this picture is subdued and harmonious. Its dramatic power is intense. For the given dimensions it is, in all sense, the perfection of art (No. 221 of the catalogue.) Next to this picture, or beside it. for balance ot arrangement I nlace "The Earthquake" (No.

307 of the The "Wise Men Journeying to Bethlehem" (No. 30) is an important example of this quality, because in collection, as originally shown In the United States, a large picture of the same subject by Tissot was also exhibited, and his ability to translate these subjects into large dimensions was clearly shown by this example. I consider the first and greatest claim of these pictures to serious consideration as work of highest art to lie in the wholly original and thoughtful conception of a vast series of subjects, which show in a preponderance of examples that quality of monumental arrangement, which in largo paintings (as in small) is the roost difficult to attain and in moderjn naintings has been most generally neglected. In order to be perfectly explicit from the New Testament, as from those which had been habitually represented for centuries is generally unknown in Italian religious art. Even Michael Angelo's power of imagination was apparent in his new methods of representation (of the Creator, for instance) rather than in the invention of new subjects.

The number of these in the Tissot collection is almost incredible. In Italian art, for instance, tho "Supper at Emmaus" is a single traditional subject. "Christ Pilate" is another, the "Women at the Sep ulcher" Is another. The multiplication of episodes in different stages of a given subject is a most remarkable feature of the Tissot perhaps best illustrated in the series for the Passion, following the "Last Supper;" "Could ye not watch with me one hour?" is a fine example (No. 232).

Examples of modern imaginative quality as distinct from old Italian are best considered in Tissot's treatment of the supernatural. Here he stands on wholly original ground, with occasional resemblance to his only great predecessor In this department, William Blake. I mention the "Soul of the Penitent Thief" rising to heayyi. the "Angel Seated Upon the Stone," the in the Garden" and "Christ Borne up ino a Pinnacle of tho Temple." Tissot's superiority in these subjects is best apparent by comparison with Ary Scheffer's weakly sentimental "Temptation of Christ" or with Gus tav Dore's mercantile That Tissot should have made Syria his home are Oriental surroundings his company ions before attempting this cycle was, oi course, "essential. In this matter he was purely and simply modern and consistently so, but he has succeeded in being modern without being trivial, without being commonplace, and without being vulgar.

This is his crowning glory Brooklyn is called the City of Churches. The Tissot collection has found its resting place. WILLIAM H. GOODYEAR. WOULD MOVE PENITENTIARY.

DOHITAWYI'S FIRST RECITAL. Thank goodness, the fashion of pianists with sensational hair and romantic press agents is going out.

We have had recently in New York threo of the great pianists" of tha next decade Hoffmann, Hambourg and Dohn anyi. All are under 25, all part their, hair at the side and wear it short and dress and ap. pear like ordinary mortals. They rely upon their playing, and not upon their stage pic; ture, to move the public. One can watci them without having it impressed upon him that mountebank and pianist are convertible terms.

The newest, and, in many re. spects, the most, interesting of this, group young wonders Dohnanyi gave his first rei cital at Mendelssohn Hall yesterday afternoon. He seemed like a pleasant, but shi and immature American boy. His hands Indicated that they might do good service aj second base as well as on the key board, and the pianist looked as if he would enjoy a turn at our national game. His playing declared in full force all the good qualities which hl( playing of the Beethoven Concerto with th( Boston Orchestra Indicated.

He has a finq singing tone, as he proved in giving out th( theme ot a Bach fugue; all through th( Beethoven Sonata, in A fiat, opus 110; in th Chopin Waltz in sharp, minor, and In I Rubinstein barcarolle. This young man seems to cover almost everything in pian playing. His Chopin waltz was as sunnj and sparkling as one could ask, and his technical equipment, as disclosed in the soma times horrible Brahms variations on th Handel theme, seems quite the equal of Hamt bourg's. Unlike that pianist, Jie does noi play fast merely for the sake of speed, an he does not forget his light and shade or faU to mark his rhythm in the most tremendouj passages. Those qualities made the varla tions interesting where they sometimes seen merely like a trapeze exhibition of the per former's strength.

He took the sensational leap over the precipice in the middle an landed with a cat like softness on the pianissimo at its foot. There he builded up a beau; tiful crescendo of feeling and finally of speed and tone. But his best achievement was th( Beethoven Sonata, which he played like I poet. At the end he gave the ninth Liszl rhapsody, not so much heard as some of th others. He gave it with more variety thai some pianists produce in those compositiona and his orchestral close seemed quite as good as Paderewski's in the early days when Pad erewslcl still thought it necessary to practice Dohnanyi gives another recital next Tuesday, and it is safo to say that the audience will bd very much larger than that of yesterday, New York does not easily let an artist of nil gifts escape when she wakes up to him.

IT'S A it was understood that after the bills passed "They would be taken care of at the other end." This was understood to mean tnat the bills would be "taken care of" In the Mayor's of fice and there be killed by him. Ex Judge Laimbeer said, dryly, that he had been out of town, and in affected innocence asked what was meant by saying that "the bills would be taken care of at the other end?" The answers made Indicated that the local Republican Trust was not really desirous that the county salary bills should be enacted into law this year, that they would be made laws next year. And they all smiled. All of which leads to the query: Which member of the local Republican Trust guaranteed the opponents of the bills that they "would be taken care of at the other end?" MUL.

All in all, there are an unusual number of social matters of moment, of to day and of the near future, for Brooklyn in early April. No section of tho town will be able to plume Itself especially, probably, upon great activity before the first of May, but each will have a full share. It is now certain that the Easter fortnight will be an exceptionally crowded one. Enough weddings, dances and the like axe scheduled to assure society of that. As might be expected, charity looms up with much distinctness, and it is the hour of Eales.

The sale of old time struck terror to the heart of man; its modern equivalent is somehow more deftly managed, and men actually visit them without immoderate cajoling. How this miracle is accomplished is one of life's mysteries, but the fact remains. At Mrs. Simeon B. Chittenden's, 212 Columbia heights, this Friday afternoon, there Is such a sale.

Its hours will be from two to six o'elock, and it has the title of "Special Easter Sale." The goods displayed will be from the Woman's Work Exchange and Decorative Art Society, a philanthropic institution, in which many of the leading Heights women take an especial interest. It is not often that' a Brooklyn sale summons as many well known people as this will, in all likelihood, bring together. Tea will be the attraction of another Easter sale, this arranged for Saturday after noon, and, as already mentioned in this column, to be given in the parlors of Mrs. William Chandler Smith, 362 Washington avenue. This Is the tea of the Volante, and the cards of invitation announce that there will be on sale cakes, home made candy, novelties, common sense fancy articles.

The Volante's membership has already mounted up to thirty five. It will stand behind that body of nurses for the poor, the Trained Christian' Helpers, who are soon to move into a new home at 1,304 Pacific street. A partial list of the Volante's members is as follows: Mrs. William Chandler Smith, president; Miss K. C.

Mines, vice president; Mrs. George Van der Bogert, treasurer Miss Jannicky, secretary; Miss Ethel Moon, Miss Deland, Miss Edith Sexton, Miss Bertha Sexton, Miss Childs, the Misses Arthur, Mrs. Frank Sloan, Mrs. Howard Brumley, Mrs. Charles Hol combe, Mrs.

Noyes. Miss Percie Lockett, Miss Ethel McCaldin, Mrs. Lawrence Hills, Miss Nesmith, Miss Mary Miss Johnson, Miss Jannicky, Mrs. Edward Geer. To judge by the make up of the committees, Brooklyn women are entering into the enthusiasm of the Cuban festival, in Easter week, though its scene will be across the river, even more earnestly than are their New York sisters of philanthropic tendencies.

What is really a remarkable number of women joined the work. Yet another committee awaits announcement in its entirety. It Is the Brooklyn committee for Great Britain, and its members will be: Mrs. Chester I. Richards, chairman; Mrs.

Charles S. Carscallen, vice chairman; Mrs. Amos D. Carver, secretary; Mrs. Alvin Boody, Mrs.

Charles A. Boody, Mrs. Maillard M. Canda, Mrs. E.
