FOREIGN TRAVEL Biarry Ifcoseland's Pictures of Negroes His Early "Work Peculiarly American Themes A Sculptor's Loss The British Treasury. bending to their wpTk In the wide, warm fields, who was to know that the subject was not European, If you wanted to think so. Mr. Roseland saw the abundance and charm of the material and began to paint It.

Now his art began to take on originality. In a little while it began to pall upon him, because it was too European. This was promising. There were people in and around town who had been Americans long before we had any Italian immigrants. There are hundreds ot them on Ocean Hill and around there, socne in shanties, some, in tenements, usually cheerful and well behaved, but picturesquely lazy, fond of color, useful as models: the negroes, namely.

So he began to paint them. And it is odd that the negro has been so recently discovered, or, at least, it would be if the painters as a class had not exhibited that curious tendency to stand, in platoons, on the French meadows and paint the same things that everybody else was painting. Mr. Itoseland is clever. He realizes the interest that all mankind feel in a pretty face, hence he frequently puts a pretty face in contrast to the black countenance of the old mammy, who is telling fortunes by a reading of the teacups or the lines of the hand.

The principal objection that will be made to his recent pictures is that of sacrificing too much to prettlness and making his white girls too dainty and popular. It is easy to carry a popular thing to unpopularity if one does not progress with his art; If he hardens into self appointed conventions and paints merely for the market. Mr. Roseland doubtless has this temptation, just as our famous painter of bootblacks has it, for the latter knows that We lave a painter in Brooklyn who has recently developed a field 'quite his own, and the popularity of his pictures bids fair to make hire one of the most successful of the local artists. Harry Roseland, like almost every otfier artist, and every other man, for that matter, had his years of floundering, when he was trying to Dnd just what he was fitted for, and he is lucky to have discovered It while he is still In the thirties.

He was a member of the Adelphi art school, of which Professor WMttaker an honest and stimulating is the head, and which has graduated so many clever people, several of them of international fame. he was a slender big eyed lad of quiet manner, low voiced, unassuming as to his work, and full of pranks. He painted landscape for a while, but somehow ho did not get as much air into it as other folks thought belonged to it, and his color was leaden. Then he took up the figure, and like so many other of the figure men he got into portraits, for one pays for portraits, generally, whereas nobody feels compelled the center of the West End, within two minutes of the Grand and Victoria, within three of the Metropole and within of the Hotels Savoy and Cecil, closer to the best theater than any of these and In a line with the cliilis of Pall Mall, no house could be better placed. Every snare was taker, up before the prospectus was IsFiu and if any hotel had A chance of prolonged life and prosperity that has.

This month's Fortnightly Review has taken up the (subject of monster hotels. The writer is Major Griffiths, who is supposed to be ait authority. He damns them with not e.ven faint praise. He has no good word for them. Individuality is lost in them and one becomes but a sheep of a Mock, fed by order and not allowed to have a say In the choice of one' food.

The picture he draws is perfectly correct and is appreciated by a large portion of the traveling world. But the large hotel ha not yet destroyed the small. The very men, like Rltz himself, who oversees perhaps half a dozen first class caravansary hotels, owa often small and cozy hotels In other places, where every attention lei paid to individual requirements. If the cozy hotel of the smaller kind was being killed by the great, I would bs the first to protest. But It Is not.

Each has a place; there is room for all in the neiK order of hotel life and In the requirements brought about by increasing wealth and a lo of luxury the world over. S. SIEVERTS DREWWETT. Travel Editor. TRAVELING IN GREECE September 1 certainly not a month to select for Greek travel.

(From a Painting by Harry Roseland.) let me have it to raise over the City A few minutes later the flag I had brought from Brooklyn was floating in the breeze from a tall staff which for years and years before had borne only the colors of Spain. There was a tremendous crowd in the street, made up of American soldiers and residents HARRY ROSBLAND'S STUDIO. just the minute he has finished a picture a customer is waiting for it, and themes he would secretly prefer to paint, and that would make for his fame and carry his reputation for many years after he was dead pictures like his longshoreman resting at noon he feels compelled to neglect because the "call" for. them is not immediate or strong.

But all who have watched the work of Mr. Roseland have noticed his technical gain. He is still a student and is trying to be every year a little ahead of himself as he was last year. His drawing has improved in soundness and ease. He has worked from the model, even if ho has idealized a trifle now and again.

Eagle Bureau. 53 Rue Cambon. Paris, August It Is the height of the I tourist season. England makes the first Monday in August a hank holiday, which this year falls on the 7th. The exodus from London of the hetter class people takes place more generally the week previous to and the week after the bank holiday than at any other time.

The school vacations being late, the majority of those who leave their homes do not get away until August, while Parliament, sitting up to near the 12th (when grouse shooting commences) condemns many to mis3 the longest days for a surr.aier outing. By far the best months for actual travel are June and September, yet, curiously enough, they are the least used. In the English lake district, in Scotland and in Wales, the air is then clearer and there is far more certainty of fine weather than in May. Beside which the country ia greener, flowers abundant and hotels never crowded. But so little are they then patronized that one is apt to feel lonely at table d'hote.

The Germans, who now are by far the greatest travelers in Tyrol, in Switzerland and in Italy, commence wisely their tours In the end of May, and they fill up their frequented haunts in June and continue to keep them full until the end of summer. The consequence is that at the present moment (1st of August) every hotel In any popular resort is densely crowded. In Lucerne there is hardly a bed to be had for money and every one who can let one in any sort of a house can rely on good payment from the hotels. Much the same remark can be made concerning Interlaken, Grlndelwald, Cha mounix and the more fashionable centers of St. Morltz and Pontreslna.

This senseless rush, all In one month, is not only intensely embarrassing for the hotels. Inconvenient for the visitors and for railway passengers atrociously uncomfortable, but It also serves as a pretext to elevate prices all round, so that one may pay one third more for the privilege of saying that you stay at, we will say, the Hotel National, Lucerne, when in reality you are lodged up a side street with no view, little air and have to be in at 11 P. M. or the door closed against you. And there seems to be no reasonable effort made to alter matters.

In the Enga.line the August rush is so tremendous that no one can depend upon a bed at all if not booked days in advance, and, considering that the principal Engadine resorts are only reached by a day's dTlve over a mountain pass from the nearest railway station, it is a serious matter for those who are not endowed with the mental or moral quality known as prevision. The month of September Is good for all those who dislike crowds and like delicious air In Switzerland. From the 1st to the 15th you are sure of excellent attention. On the 15th a large number of hotels close for the season; many of these are mountain hotels; others are dependent hotels on larger ones in the valleys. Prices on the 15th are solidly reduced and rooms that could not be had under large extra August payment are often thrown in with the pension price.

And this leads me to another bypath of the subject and that is the prices charged at hotels In Europe. Until comparatively recent times, say thirty or forty years back, no European hotels charged a fixed daily or weekly price. It was always a la carte and often enough there was no carte, which left one absolutely at the mercy of the hotelkeeper. Moreover no two hotels would charge tho same price; consequently, to calculate the cost of a tour or a holiday was virtually impossible. Two means brought down the prices to something like uniformity; one was the hotel coupon system of Thomas Cook Son, and the other was the competition, In England and Scotland, especially, of the hydropathic establishments.

Cook published a la carte prices, so that one could judge beforehand; the "hydros" published weekly Inclusive terms. Little by little the great hotels gave way and first one, then another, began to print prices, and eventually make board and lodging fixed terms (some called it the "American far the day or week. It is in lSHIi more universal than ever and looks seriously as If lixed terms would. In the course of a few years, become universal. The pioneer country to completely adopt them was Egypt, and I think that Shepheard's Hotel was one oi the first to entirely recognize the principle.

Others soon followed in Cairo and now all Cairene hotels are on the inclusive clay or week plan. Yet another element had much effect, the amalgamation of the various hotels into societies for mutual assistance and protection. This idea emanates from Switzerland and the present Swiss Hotelkeepers' Association, under the administration of Mr. Amsler Aubert and a board of direction formed rut of all the principal centers of tourist traffic, is the model for all others in Europe. To enter into the benefits it confers on the hotel trade is of no interest here.

Yet, In assisting themselves they directly assist the public. Only hotelkeepers of respectability and long standing can belong to the association, all black sheep are weeded out, malpractices are exposed and the public thereby protected. A published book appears yeaTly In which every hotel detail Is scheduled and the prices for each senson carefully and plainly printed. The book, being offlcinl, a visitor can almost enforce adhesion to the terms. But there is little likelihood of dispute, for no member or non member of the association has a wish to see himself called over the coals at the next meeting of his brother hoteliers.

I do not know any organization, and I have studied Its workings for many years, that Is so perfectly planned and its system better carried on than this. And Its results are far reaching. The Swiss is, or was, considered the model hotelier. All that he did was copied, of course, by the Germans; he went through his training school at home, then to England to learn ot English tastes and the English tongue; to Paris, to perfect his knowledge of the cuisine, and thetn would be prepared become an important servant or official In any country in Europe. At the present moment the Swiss or German Is the recognized hotelkeeper all over Europe.

The more luxurious houses are directed in England and France and Italy by Germans, and the more moderate by Swiss. This is a hard, fust rule, but It Is general one. The English, who are always ready to accept the services of anyone who can do better than themselves, rarely open any larg. hotel in London, Glasgow. Liverpool or other city without securing a German or Swiss manager.

Especially is this the ease with large hotel companies. The name Rltz. Eseofiier, Echenard a trio known to everyone are cognomens to conjure with. Kltz, turned out or one hotel by the ba. door, comes back into another, the n.

They are the sail of the hotel world in the eyes of th The New Carlton Hotel is one of the finest in London and was opened last month with enormous success. It was filled at once, for no London hotel, well managed and central, need ever be wanting In clients.

Situated In to pay for a view on his farm or for pictures of his cows in several attitudes and states of mind. His portraits ran to prettincss and in the exhibitions did not receive the unanimous credit that was given to the work of Sargent and Dewing. Then he took to still life and fruit and flowers, and here he began to achieve distinction. If he painted a smoothly it was what people best liked, and his pictures sold readily, for the young artist developed business shrewdness presently. Quite a number of the fruit pieces were sold to the owners of an extinct paper that had a lithographic end to it, and the copies made from these pictures were given away as premiums with the Sunday edition.

They were esteemed, though they did not save the paper. But about this time Mr. Roseland asserted himself in a more personal way. Instead of following other folks examples and keeping In the beaten track, he' went to Canarsie. This was the boldest thing that any Brooklyn painter had done in years.

It is easy enough to go to Venice and Constantinople, like "Hop" Smith, and to. Paris, like every other painter that ever was born almost but it takes talent to stay at home and see what there is In it. The way the artist came to discover Canarsie was through what he regarded at the time as a sore' misfortune, and what artists naturally would look at in just that way. He had fixed his eye on Europe and gathered together a number of his pictures to sell at auction, that he might have the means of getting there, trusting to luck and the growth of his talent to get home In case he did not stay. His pictures sold for about the cost of their frames.

It was a crushing disillusion, and surprised not only him, but many'of his friends. Weil, it was no more than had happened to Millet and Rousseau and Corot and all the rest of them. It seems to have become almost a part of the training of an artist. Possibly it is a good thing. Keeps him from getting too far up in the ideal and all that.

At all events it teaches him a le3son in wholesome prudence ami prevents his getting deep into debt. At the end of the sale Europe had become an iridescent dream and was no. doubt longed for niore wildly than, ever before. But how. many of out afflictions are blessings in a thin disguise.

Mr. Roseland could, not go to Paris, so he went down to the lower end of Flatbush, wondering as he went why he had never noticed before what fine old colonial houses there were along the way, and what noble trees, and what splendid reaches of meadow, and what bits of satisfying color the red barns and yellow sheds, and what misty clumps of wood in the distance. Why, there were Normandy farms and Holland meadows and English herds, and all the rest of it," but being just a few rods from our own door stones we had never seen it. He had been pining for people who wear blue blouses and wooden shoes, forgetful of the fact that every man who goes to Europe with an umbrella and a pail of paint goes in for blue peasants with wooden shoes until the world shrieks in agony every time it comes to one of these DERE'S A he has the faculty of putting little touches of humor and of pathos into his work, as well as of character. His scope in this latter respect is fairly indicated in "Interesting Item," that is copied here in a drawing.

The studious and centered look on the faces of the old couple, the air of domestic peace and conjugal confidence that is suggested in the attitudes and surroundings, poor as are the latter, give reality to the picture. Mr. Roseland is one of the few successful artists who have not lied from Brooklyn so soon as their success began. He occupies a picturesque Btudio in a bank building not far from the business district. The British Treasury is a more frank office than any other branch of the English government.

The directors of the national portrait gallery recently wanted to draw upon it in order to buy and add to the nation's pioperties, a portrait of Queen Victoria painted In her youth by Wilkie, and portraits of Charles I and his Queen, by somebody else, whose name ought to have been given in order to make the anecdote quite effective. But the British Treasury refused to put up the money, not on the ground that the pictures were pretty bad, which is easily believed, but "that in acquiring examples, regard must be had to the celebrity of the person represented, rather than to the merits of the artist." This is several different kinds of a surprise. It implies that Queen Victoria, and Charles I and Henrietta Maria have not had their names in the paper often enough to make them known to the public. It likewise appears to offer a complaint to Wilkie and to the unknown who did the two Stuarts, whereas possibly their work is below par. Especially it asserts that the national portrait gallery Is not an art exhibition, but a solemn collection of celebrities.

If such shows have been dreadful before, what must they be in the future when anything is acceptable so long as the sitter was the Duke of Mudcastle or the Marchioness of Slimson hurst? Any painter's daub, or student's, copy of a portrait of one of these most exalted personages will be bought for the nation, while the picture by Reynolds, or Gainsborough, or Sargent, or Abbey a kind of picture that in dozens of instances has made the fame of the subject Is turned back to the auction room. In the day when art is not to be considered in getting up a picture show the state of art is pretty low. And that is what it is. without a doubt, in the British Treasury. C.

M. S. DIAMONDS IN LAKE REGION. A number of gems are being found in the lake region and quite a number of diamonds have been discovered. No less than seventeen well identified diamonds, varying in weight from one half to more than twenty one carats, have been discovered in the region of the Great Lakes.

The localities in which these diamonds have been found are distributed over an area nearly 600 miles in length and 200 miles in width, with its longer axis trending almost exactly northwest and southeast. Nearly all the diamonds were obtained from the deposits of glacial drift. The colors vary from white to white tinged with green and pure yellow. Several of the stones are remarkably line gerns.

SAVING THE FLAG How the Stars and Stripes, Which Miss de Antonsanti Took From Brooklyn, Were Preserved to Float Over the City Hall at Ponce.

Two very interesting women are the guests Mrs. Daniel Byrne at her home, 184 War ren street. They are Mrs. Teresa Capo de Antonsanti and her daughter, Miss Carmen de Antonsanti, of Ponce, 'Porto Rico. They are the widow and daughter, respectively, of a Mr.

de Antonsanti, who was a naturalized American citizen and one time a well known resident of Staten Island, but who was a native of Porto Rico and the owner of an extensive sugar plantation there. He died some years ago and his family has since made its home in Ponce. Miss Carmen do Antonsanti is to all intents and purposes a Brooklyn girl, for eight of her nineteen years have been passed here and here she received her education. She is a handsome brunette, thoroughly American as to her views and self possessed manners, but possessing the willowy figure, the natural gracefulness and the facial characteristic of the typical well bred Spanisli senorita. She speaks the English language perfectly and is a charming conversationalist.

To this young woman belongs the honor of having provided the first American flag raised over a municipal building in Porto Rico after the investment of that island by the United States forces, and the added distinction of having founded the first public school in Porto Rico conducted along American lines. Speaking to me of the flag incident, Miss de Antonsanti said: "There were but three American families living in Ponce at the outbreak of the war with Spain and you may well understand that their situation at that time was anything but agreeable. That of our family was particularly precarious, inasmuch as we were known by the Spanish authorities to he intensely American in our sympathies and to have been for a long time in frequent communication with our relatives and friends in the states. During the early part of the war we were objects of suspicion and hatred, on the part of the Spanish officials and were made to feel uncomfortable and at times insecure. The arrival on the Southern coast of the first ships of the American fleet created great excitement among tho Spaniards in Ponce, especially among those holding ofllce under the crown, but the climax of the excitement was not reached until it was reported that warships convoying American troops were approaching the harbor of Police.

It was about that time that my mother and I closed our house in the city and hastily left to take refuge at. the home of an uncle, a short distance inland. We had barely reached our destination when word was brought to us that our house in Ponce had been set on fire and destroyed together with its contents and that the same fate had befallen the homes, of the other American families resident there. We afterward learned from friends in the city, that although a pretense of extinguishing the fire had been made, no serious effort in that direction had been put forth. Certain Spanish officers had even gone so far as to intimidate the firemen by reminding them that the house belonged to 'a Yankee' and that it were 'better to let it "The flag? Oh, yes, 1 wa about to tell you.

Among my personal effects was a very pretty American Hag. made of silk, and about 5 feet in length and in width. This flag I had brought to Porto Rico from Brooklyn, after leaving school, and you may be sure I was very proud of It. It had been used as a decoration in one of the rooms of our home at Ponce, and quite a number of persons, including several Spanish officers, had seen and admired it. When the time came to flee from Ponce we had to decide quickly what articles to take with us, and my first thought was of the flag.

To carry it openly was out of the question, would surely have precipitated a riot, and to attempt to conceal it seemed equally hazardous. But a happy thought came to me. I'll sew the flag to the lining of my petticoat! And that Is precisely what I did. We reached my uncle's in safety, and remained there until news came of the arrival in Ponce of the American troops and of the withdrawal of the Spaniards from the port and city. Without a moment's delay I cut loose my flag, tacked it to an Improvised staff and, with others, set out for Police.

We had gone but a little way when we were met by a flying column of American soldiers who had been scut out to reconnoiter and to assure the country people of the good Intentions of the American invaders. At first sight of the boys in blue I unfurled the Hug and waved it frantically. The scene that followed was so indescribably thrilling that I can never forget it. Officers flocked about mo, asking mo all sorts of questions the rank and file sang and cheered; the Hag was snatched from my hands and passed from soldier to soldier: the Porto Kican peasants, who come out to see what all the noise was about, cried 'Viva It was certainly an exciting moment. "The commanding officer confirmed all of the good news which had reached us, and urged me.

in particular, to hurry into the city, offering me escort, telling me that General Miles' flag lieutenant was about to raise the colors over the public buildings and might be glad to have my Hag. This proved to be the case. The lieutenant had come ashore bringing a number of flags, but all had been put to use before he reached the City Hall. He greeted me most curdially and the moment he espied my flag, exclaimed 'Where did you get that flag? Do yon know, it's just what we have been searching for in vain. Pleaae of the city, and the cheering which greeted the hoisting of my little Hag was tumultuous.

The soldiers formally saluted it, the regi mental band played 'The Star Spangled and, perhaps you remember the incident, the Alcalde surprised everybody by the patriotic fervor of the speech ho made In welcoming the Americans. It was a regular old Miss Carmen de Antonsanti, heroine of the Flap Incident at Ponce. Rico. (From a Photo by Davis Sandford). fashioned Fourth of July speech and created the greatest enthusiasm Imaginable, while at the same time laying the foundation for the good feeling for America and Americans which has prevailed in Ponce from that day to this." "And what has become of the flag?" I asked.

"That reminds me," replied Miss de Antonsanti. "that although my flag answered the temporary purpose for which it was intended, it really was ludicrous to see it snapping in the breeze at so great a height; il looked so tiny and Insignificant, seeming but a trifle larger than a bandana handkerchief. But the flag remained there for several days, or until a larger one was brought ashore and put In its place. 1 received many offers for the Hag, but money would not tempt me to part with it. I have had it framed and appropriately Inscribed and hope to keep it as long as I live." A FRAUD.

Because of the encroachment of the sea it has become necessary for the third time to move the Lowescraft Low lighthouse on the English coast between Harwich and Yarmouth. The light was frequently quite surrounded by water, imprisoning the keopera within. So great had the inconvenience and, sometimes, positive danger grown that it was finally decided to remove the structure en bloc to a point 250 feet Inland. Two engines are engaged in the work and as the lighthouse weights 120 tons the undertaking is one of considerable difficulty. The Low Light was originally a frame ot woodwork, and was shifted from the Denes to the beach In 1S32, being superseded by the present more substantial structure in 1866.

It stood parallel with the High Light, which is situated on the cliff above. By keeping the two lights in a direct line ships ara enabled to pass in saTety through the Stanford Channel, which is about a quarter of a mile broad and lies between the Home and Barnard Sands.
