"Tho Evenincr Hour." a large aquarelle of much beauty, was bought uy odd. Mrs. I'TanK Jennmga took a "Mussachutse tt Sunset." Miss Schleren purchased "Beaver Dam," a gem In mellow color. Miss Meyer, Miss Deshon and others secured "The Old Lane," "Southampton Road," "Near Glen Cove," "On Maspeth Marshes," "A New England Twilight," and a pair of marine views. Local artists are preparing for the Salmagundi black and white exhibition, oneniner April 26 acd continuing until May 6.

George n. uuaries uaner. Professor Wnii taker, Harry uoselancl, Wed worth Wads wortn are among the local members. Mary Wood WhLttaker is at work upon a study of rcses for the coming Brooklyn Art Club exhibition. The canvas shows rich, full blown flower's lying near a little nool of water.

Creamy cns and pink blossoms are grouped togetner, making a beautiful ool scheme. The painting is very sympathetic ana oeautnui. The subjects for composition at the Adel phi sketch class this month are "Silence' and "The Afterglow." On the first Tuesday In each month the compositions are handed In. The Adelphl Art cltfb will probably give im exnuDii ana tea, similar to tne one given at the college about two weeks since. Miss Ida JohDSon, the newly elected DresL dent of the local Keramic club, has painted some exquisite examples or porcelain, nre senting spring subjects.

Pussy willows and catkins of different varieties, give a kind of landscape effect, wniie between and below them are growing blood root, hepatlcas, arbutus and other April blossoms. John H. Hillyard of Hancock street has two interesting water colors of Prospect park scenery One shows a section of the most picturesque part of the lake. The artist has presented It faithfully and attractively. The reflections are excellent in quality, and tho character of the trees Is well defined.

Pleasant color is a feature of the picture. Mr. Hillyard exhibits at the academy and does good rush work. Miss Riedel, who formerly lived In this city and studied art, Is now well established in Germany, where she is an artist of some standing. An aquarelle of hers sent to a Hill patron, is a most Interesting one, and shows tho advancement made by her in art.

It shows a young woman In outdoor costume with a large hat and vail. The head is in profile, and against the pleasant green background the pretty model shows especially well. The drapery, the drawing and the color are all sincere and harmonious. Miss Davidson of Macon street is now studying art in Berlin and has made much progress in the right direction. She studied at the league and under Robert Held during several seasons.

Miss Davidson has done some excellent work In this country. A study by Mr. Arter Is at Mr. Hooper's, and the effect of a sunny day, with abundance of color In tho landscape, where a girl is raking weeds. Is well in it.

Several canvases by the same artist are owned by Dr. William Jarvie of Joralemon street. One. Riving a peasant scene, with a cottage and figures full of Interest, Is large and impressive. An old painting which was recently purchased in Mexico by Mr.

Haasls of this city, and brought here, has claims to being a genuine old master. It Is a Madonna and child, and suggests Rubens la Its drawing and handling. The type of the woman is a strong and Interesting one. The canvas bears evidence of having been transported v. AT FINELY RIDGE 37th Street and Third Avenue.

Next Sunday the same devotion will be held in St. Anne's church, at Gold and Front streets. IN LOCAL STUDIOS. "Miss Harriet Feck In her studio, at 100 Willow street, has several portraits which have been painted this winter. The latest is a study of her sister.

The sitter is posed easily and effectively against a low toned background. Her expression is gentle and thoughtful. The paint is handled freely and without a trace of Indecision or weakness. Miss M. E.

Hurst, since her removal from her Clinton avenue studio to 8G0 Flatbush avenue, adjoining the Midwood club, has been exceedingly busy. She Is painting the portrait of a child and also doing a fruit piece. A flower study, where several kinds of bloB soms are grouped, making up a color scheme of originality, is also a late canvas by Miss Hurst. She will be represented at the exhibition of the Brooklyn Art club by several interesting works. A number of local artists are preparing work for the coming exhibition of allied arts, the first annual showing of which will occur at the American art galleries from April 26 to May 4.

A Brooklyn artist is chairman of the executive committee, Mrs. Lois Andresen, 340 Bedford avenue. Miss Bannister has recently finished tho portrait of a young woman in evening dress. The sitter is a blonde with handsome features and a quantity of light hair, which is classically arranged. She Is posed against a greenish gray background and a knot of green at her corsage brings out the artistic feeling in the picture very strongly.

Miss Bannister Is also working on the portrait of a New York woman, which will be a notable piece of work, not only from the social standing of tho Bitter, but from her Interesting personality and face. Miss Sawyer has been painting two fine landscapes In water color. The subjects were obtained in New England. Ono shows a brook In a sunny field and from the quality of light and brightness abounding in the surroundings differs from the generality of brook scenes. Miss M.

E. Robinson has been painting a rich, dark Holland Interior, showing a group of The tone of the wood colled room, tho ancient furniture and bits of Delft, added to the quiet colors of the women's gown, Pudd'nhead Wilson should not feel dUappolntet when their Questions are not answered im vicdiatelu, as the information solicited fr fluently requires considerable research, for trhicft ample time should be allowed, name and address of the writer should cto company entry question.

R. A man Is correct In wearing a black necktie In evening dress. P. T. The national debt of the United States In, what writers on the subject call th first period (extending from September 6, 1774.

to March 4, 1789), was incurred by several issues of paxter money oy the Continental congress, amounting' to S241.552.7S0; a subsidy of $1,815,000 granted to the colonics by the King of France, ttnd $6,352,600 In French loans; a subsidy of $181,500 from the Kuitf of Spain and loans made in Holland to the amount of $3,600,000. To these are usually added the certi ficates of Indebtedness griven by the American government to French officers who served in the Continental army. The payment of the foreign debt was effected by securing further loans from Holland and the domestic debt was funded at a lower rate of interest.

B. We are not aware that Daniel E. Sickles ever was the author of a panegyric on whisky. What our correspondent refers to Is probably what General Sickles once said about congress and whisky before the war. He la reported to have said: I was in the congress preceding the war.

It was whisky in the morning the morning cocktail congress of whisky drinkers. Then whisky all day; whisky and gambling all night. Drinks before conKress opened Its morning session, drinks before it adjourned. Scarcely a committee room without it i demijohn of whisky, and the clink of the glasses could be heard in the capitol corridors. The fights, the angry speeches, were Whisky.

The atmosphere was redolent with whisky; nervous excitement seeking relief In whisky and whisky adding to nervous excitement. Yea. the rebellion was launched on whisky. If the French assembly wore to drink, some morning, one half the whisky consumed In any one day by that congress, France would declare war against Germany in twenty minutes. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: "Was there any special direction in John Wesley's will regarding the manner of his burial, providing that poor men should carry his coffin to the grave? PARVO.

Answer John Wesley directed in his will that six poor men should have twenty shillings each for carrying his body to the grave, "for," raid he, "I particularly desire that there shall be no hearse, no coach, no escutcheon, no pomp, except the tears of those that loved me and are following me to Abraham's bosom. I solemnly adjure my executors. In the name of God, punctually to observe this." To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: It was announced the other day that the bishop of London, who has possession of the log book of the May Flower, was going to have It sent to the United Ptafs. you inform us how long the passage of the May Flower was between England and Cape Cod 7 PURITAN. Answer The Mayflower, with the Pilgrims on board, first set sail from Southampton, England, on August 5.

1620, and anchored in Cape Cod harbor November 10. Time, ninety eight days. Hav Ing. however, "to put back to Plymouth, September at which day the Journal of the Pilgrims commences, the voj'nge occupies sixty six days, from port to port." In all, the time from Leyden, Holhind. after parting with John Robinson, till they arrived at Cnpc Cod.

was 10S days. In the book compiled by the late Rev. Dr. George B. Cheever US iS).

the following passage occurs: "They were In great peril, obliged to beat about for days, unable, through the violence of the gale, to carry a single sail. We should hftT tK en glad of some record of those days and nights of anxlely and prayer. In which they wer In serious question of the possibility of the ship enduring, as to ask whether they ought not again to put back to England." When the log Is published, the curiosity expressed In the foregoing will doubtless be gratified, at least to those of urn who remain. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: What Is the tradition of certain persons of antiquity who were compelled to stand on pillars for long periods? ERASTUS. Answer We presume our correspondent has reference to the Stylltes.

sometimes called the "Pillar Saints," whose hlFtory Is common enough in literature. The Stylltes were a class of ascetics, chiefly of Syria, who took up their abode on the top of a pillar, where they were fed by their admirers and from which they never descended. Among the most celebrated are Simeon, the Styllte of Syria and Daniel tho Stylite of Constitntlnople. Simeon spent thirty seven years on different pillars, each one loftier and narrower than the preceding, the last one being feet high. He died in 400.

aged 73 years. Daniel lived thirty three years on one pillar and many times narrowly escaped being blown from It by the storms from Thrace. He died in 404. Tenny Bon'B poem on "St. Simeon Stylltes" should be read by our correspondent.

The condition of the Styllte is thus described: In hunger and in thirsts, fevers and cold, In couKhs, aches, stitches, ulcerous throes and cramps. A sign betwixt the meadow and the cloud. Patient on this tall pillar I have borne Rain, wind, frost, heat, hail, damp and eleet and snow. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Can you tell me where I can get a poem OH "Sometime." which says: Sometime we shall know why Our dearest hopes are swept away. Who is the author? MINNIE, Answer "Sometime" is the title of a poem by Lillian Gray, which has been published In some of the weekly papers.

The lines given are misquoted. Hero is the poem: Sometime, we shall know why Our Runniest mornlnqw change to noons of rain; And why otir stps are shadowed eo by pain. Ami why we often lie On conches, sown with thorns of care and doubt And why our lives aro thickly hedged about With bars that put our loftiest plans to rout. Sometime, we shall know why Our dwm st i are swt'pt so swift away And why our brightest flowers first decay; Why son is lost in slch. Why clasping fliiKers slip so soon apart HstranKeniunt.

Howard House sta. And Trolley Cars. relieved by their white caps, makes this canvas a fine one. Miss Robinson studied the home life of the Dutch peasantry very carefully when in Holland last season. Miss Norton, who has a studio at 391 Clermont avenue, has' Just finished a fine aquarelle, presenting a view on the Olentangy river, near Columbus, O.

Tho time Is autumn, and the landscape effect, in broad sense, suggests a piece of low toned and beautiful tapesitry. Miss Anna Lauer, in her studio at 241 Emerson place, has somo unusual designs for mural decoration. A fine one for a hospital shows Christ healing the sick. It is harmonious in color, and tho figures are grouped In a masterly way. A contrast to that is a "Bacchante Dance," where graceful figures, full of action, are shown in spirited motion and fervor.

A design for the foyer of an opera house Is classically graceful, yet full of originality. Miss Fisher is a young artist In aquarelle, who has done some of the strongest work at the Pratt institute this season. A study of white roses presents some of the difficult points In technique which Miss Fisher disposes of with the greatest ease. The flowers are grouped against a greenish shadowy background, and exhibit the cleverest possible handling of half tones. Miss Kastner has a still life of much interest, which will be exhibited later on.

It consists of some rich red ears of corn, and some amber colored ones grouped with tbem, from which the bleached husks have fallen. A finely shaped copper utensil Is beside them. The artistic effect of the compositicn Is considerable. Miss Kastner's color Is clear and beautiful and her sense of harmony strong. W.

D. Paddock, who has been studying in Paris for somo time, has returned to this city. He was formerly a Pratt Institute student. Mr. Paddock has since his departure from Paris, been sketching In France and England.

Mr. Stout, another Pratt student, Is still abroad. A fine drawing by Mr. Paddock of his friend, Mr. Stout, hangs on the wall of the studios at the Institute, and shows a delightful quality of work.

A design for a suitable head for the "Brooklyn Teacher," a Journal recently Issued here, Is desired by the publishers, who advertlso that any teacher or pupil In school In this city, or on Long Island, may compete for the aame. The design should be sent in by July 3, at tho latest. Somo excellent flower studies In aquarelle which aro the work of Miss Jones of the Pratt, are unusually poetic In effect. One, showing a bunch of violets and a letter In the background. Is broad and sincere, affording a most interesting study in half tones.

Tho shadowy effect of tho white paper In the background, and tie rich mass of color, In which the semblance of the flowers appears, but not their detail, is striking. Mr. Loudon, a young Southern art worker, has, among his recent wator colors, a study of azaleas Which has much force and breadth. On Friday and Saturday, April 9 and 10, an Easter ale will bo given at tho home of Mrs. Worth Osgood, 402 Madison street.

To establish a Helping Hand fund for the Brooklyn Socioty of Mlnoral Painters is tho object in view. Tho hours of reception are from 10 A. M. to 10 P. M.

On Wednesday and Thursday of this wook, April 7 and Miss Josephine Culbortson and Miss Johnson will give their annual spring tide exhibition and reception at their studios and 1 residence, 193 St. James place.

April 5, li'Ji. Rev dear sir The movement for the erection or placing a suitable memorial of the late Dr. Orestes A.

James H.

Mitchell chancellor of the Brooklyn diocese. The time seems ripe for the pushing of this good work to a trlumpliunt end. In these days of frivolous attack on things sacred and of complacent self exploiting of the so called "higher criticism the Ttrnwnsnn Is one to COnlUre with. His life was that of an earnest, forceful seeker after truth he sounded the depths and shoals cf error he was American of the American; ho was a leader of thought, and therefore of men. Now Is the time for the National union to strike a blow for the common good by honoring Brownson, the champion of faith and of right reason, lou are asked to solicit subscriptions for this fund Entertainments and lectures could well bo had for the same great purpose.

Forward the results of your efforts to the treasurer of the National union, and the next convention, to be held in the metropolis of New England, will be prepared fittingly to honor the great Brownson, ripest product of the same New England. The completion of thlB work Is a duty. We owe it to the cause of God and our Neighbor." Further delay would be shameful. Put your society on record practically on record. Respectfully, TV.
