Mr llnlr.1,. hL hla i.Ufail Unnnrfclsfc lowed Mitchell, there might havo been nee4 of an ambulance surgeon. It Is a matter of regret that Mr.

Welles should have seen fit to exorcise tho mercy ho did show in this case. No doubt the slugger wept a lot and went down on his kneos and all that sort ot thing. That should not have been taken Into consldaration. They are all sorry enough when thoy are found out. Mon of such vicious temper are out of place as policemen.

They are absolutely no good, and the sooner they are fired the better it will be for the good name of the force. A fine of ten days' pay will not stop this particular offender. He will be heard from again. At a fair recently held in aid of some worthy object In the Thirteenth regiment armory there was on exhibition a easeful of sacred soldier about to attack the witch in a clock. His eventless picture for a namby pamby story by a society woman is a typo of a too common sort of illustration in these days, even tho so called comic papers giving "conversations" that mean nothing.

The Hawthorne portrait, Germanized by Leutze, Is Interesting, but not quite reliable. Tho photograph is the basis of sketches for a paper on Carton. Albert Sterner is pleasant and E. W. Komble half humorous in heads and figures.

W. H. Drake is somewhat saddening In his pictures of young Tammany politicians, with their evil eyes, hang 'dog looks and small brain capacity. Joseph Pennell discloses the surpassing richness of architecture In the churches of Provence, and there is a full page engraving by Cole after Van Der Heist's portrait of Paul Potter, a splendid piece of work, that revives faith in the old masters. The Art Amateur offers with Its November number a copy In color of a wayside bit by D.

P. Iiasbiouck; an old house with apple trees in blossom near it, a woman in the yard and poultry hi the road In front an unaffected composition. There Is likewise a bootblack hy J. G. Brown, with box on shoulder and cap awry.

Brown is the subject of a paper which is illustrated with his own portrait and some of his boys, and which contains his own statement of some amusing experiences with the urchins.

The literary contents are readable and instructive. With tho new number of the Art Interchange appears three colored prints: A delicately painted bunch of roses by C. Goodyear, some rather heated Adirondack scenery by Warren C. Briggs, and a scheme for the decoration of china with dainty shells and sea weed. The opening Illustration is "Homewards," after Fritz von I'hde's picture a mother and child crossing a snowy field toward the lights of the town.

The "Peace and Plenty" by George Inr.ess, given by George A. Henrn to the Metropolitan museum, is copied effectively in photogravure. Some examples of church embroidery and other decorative matters are shown in black and white. The accomplishment of women in the designing of book covers is instanced In seven examples, and it is obvious that women are especially qualified Rev. Dr.

McGlnnis trnveled extensively In the East nnd his reminiscences, told In the entertaining raanuor that ban made him so populnr in the pulpit, will no doubt afford a most instructive and gratifying evening to all who at tond the loeturo.

There will bo demonstration losons and practical tests by tho pupils that aro expected to produco a enerr.tion ot cordon blueB of whom all Brooklyn will bs proud. The value, and advantages of tho Prospect I'lnco Association for Voting Women increase every week. Its elnsses are numerous and of wide educational seopo.

A visit to tho house will repay nil who make it. The doors aro always open and visitors at nil times welcome. Tho sewing school for tho Sunday school children of St. John's chapel opened yesterday with a larce attendance. A professional in tructor is iu charge of tho classes, which last year turned out excellent results.

Father Gnnnon's entertainment at the Acnd eruy of Music on Monday, Novumber 12. promises to be ol special interest and pleasure. Miss Elia Worn. soprano: Mrs. Helen O'L'ou nell, contrnito; Mr.

Henry Woratn, tenor; Mr. Jniiis J. Byrne, basso, are tho four arfcists who will furnish the vocal selections of tho concert. The 6eloctions comprUo a solo for each out, a duet for tenor and contralto and a quartet. As this part of the ontertnlnment will be under tho musical direction of Mr.

Bernard O'Donnell, the organist of St. Patrick's church, it is enough to say that it will be rendered in nrlistie manner. 'The entertainment will open with a selection by the orchostru, lol lowed by the concert and concluded by a dramatic performance given by the Gilbert Bishop McDonnell Will Lay a Corner Stone To day The Rev. Thomns F. JicGranen, Formerly of ft.

Anthony's, Was Vntle Puslorof St. frig id's February 11, 1893, and lias Jlnill the Church of the 1 oly Ghost. Bishop McDonnell will go to Westbury, L. to day and lay the corner stone of a new church which the Rev. Thomas F.

McGronen Is building and In which tho Catholic population of Westbury and the surrounding country will assist at divine service in the not far distant future. The parish of Westbury is one of tho oldest on Long Island. It was es i tabllshed In 1848 bv one of the pioneer priests of what was to be the island see and its first i church was an old colonial farm house, which was bought and fixed up for church purposes. It was hero that early Long Island settlers were wont to worship on Sundavs and though t. i the majority of them were obliged to travel i many miles to be present and assist, at serv they were content and grumbled only when the roads were banked with snow and the December winds blew sleet and rain into i their faces with such relentless fury that they were oftimes compelled to turn toward j.

home. At this time Long Island was a part of the diocese of New York and the Rev. Fathers Curran, Bradley and McGlnnlss were THE REV THOMAS F. MC OROXEK. among the pioneer priests whom Archbishop Hughes delegated to attend to the spiritual wants of the members of this flock, whose homes were in the then sparsely settled sec tions of Westbury, Quogue and other such i places many miles distant.

Five years later the Rev. Dr. Loughlin was consecrated bishop of Brooklyn, and with the advent of a bishop and the erection of Brooklyn as a diocese, distinct and separate from New York, the Catholic residents of Brooklyn and those out on the island were hopeful that a more progressive policy In church affairs would be adopted. In this they were not mistaken, for Bishop Loughlin was anxious to do all that was in his power to help the people and to relieve them of all unnecessary trouble in matters pertaining to their spiritual welfare. The old church at Westbury, however, continued to be the objective point on Sundays for the faithful to assemble.

It was to this parish that on February 11, 1893, Bishop McDonnell assigned the Rev. Thomas F. McGronen, and it was in the old but renovated farm house that Father McGronen met for the first time those who are now faithful members" of his flock. Soon a fund sufficiently large to commence the erection of a new church was subscribed and so it happens that the cornerstone of the new church of St. Bridget will be laid by Bishop McDonnell to day.

While xhe church is being erected services will be celeDrateu as of yore in the old farm house, the kitchen of which Is patronizingly called the vestry. The new church Is to be 40 by 79 feet and will have a seating capacity for 350 persons. The church, which is to be a frame structure, will have a ceiling of pine trusses exposed, planed and polished. The Rev. Thomas F.

McGronen Is a native of Brooklyn. He made his preparatory studies at the parish school attached to the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, on Debevoise place, and then entered St. Francis college st. BnioiD on Sixteenth street. New York.

He graduated with hiErh honors from St. Francis Xa vier's in 1SS2 and from this famous institution of learning he went direct to St. Mary's seminary, Baltimore, where he was orJaincd priest on December 19, 1S85. Immediately after his ordination Father McGronen came to Brooklyn and was assigned to St. Anthony's parish, where he provsd himself to be a most valued assistant to the Rev.

P. H. O'Hare. Father McGronen also erected the Church of the Holy Ghost, at Hyde Park, L. I.

This latter church was dedicated on August 15, 1894. A HALLOWEEN PARTY III Which All tho Ceremonies Were Strictly Observed. A Jolly company of young people gathered at the residence of Miss M. Patton, on Henry street, last Tuesday evening, to participate in a Halloween party. The ceremonies usual to All Saints' night were strictly observed by all present.

These features made an interesting preliminary to tho dancing that followed. During the evening Messrs. Hughes and Cross sang and recited, and Mr. Cahill played several selections on the, violin. All of the numbers were abundantly encored.

A supper made a fitting climax to tho Jollity. Among those present were Patton, the Misses M. and K. Patton, tho Misses A. and M.

Cusack, M. Leahy, the Misses L. H. and N. Peppard, M.

All Old IS vivi Sling by The notable gathering of prominent persons to do honor to the Poet Bryant at his birthplace in Roslyn reeontly was of special interost from the histories of the individuals who had come from fur and near and were all known to tha otitsidi world for thoir connection with what is houoredin religion, art and politics.

The singing of "Alter All," by John W. Hutchinson, a veteran member of tho famous family, who thirty years ago lind a most enviable reputation for their concerts, was a delightful reminder to ono of Mr. Bryant's Roslyn friends of an amusing experieu connected with this one of the Hutchiusons' most popular songs. Before Mr. Bryant's gilt to Roslyn of the Hue library bunding I' ctures and concerts were often given in tho little oid Methodist meeting house and here the Hutchiusons were to slug.

Learning of their coming a New Kngiand woman who had heard them ten years before in Connecticut, was among the Long Island audience. "After AH" was ono of their new songs nnd so delightfully sung, that the tender plaintive notes lingered iu the mind of the Roslyn womnn until the only escape from its haunting memory she believed was to buj the song, learn and sing it until she wns satisfied. After a fruitless search in all the New York music stores sho tried thoso in Brooklyn with no better success, and on summer journeys through the country she never forgot to continue tho quest in ali large cities, particularly in New England. Ono year passed and almost anothor, whou buying music in a Broadway store Rhe suddenly rememberud to ask again tho oft repeated question and was astonished to see the attendant smile and hear him say, "I think you askod me tne sums question nearly two years ago. and I havo made every effort since to get the music.

I learned not long ago that it wa ouo of tho Hutchiusons' special gongs, unpublished, and which thoy did not care to have generally." "But I must have it. I want it more than ever. Is there no way I can get it?" persisted tho woman. "Well, yes, said the young man evidently much amused, thoy might give it to you which is hardly likely since they do not sell it. Still you might ask them; they happen to be in the city now and have rooms on tho next block.

I will give you their address, aud, he politely added I wish you success." Stopping long enough to buy a sheet of music paper, the plucky little woman tiien started on what she considered the very last search, presenting her card nnd herself at the Hutchiusons' headquarters in Union square. Shu was interviewed by one of tho family who seemed much astonished at her timid stammering question: "Can I buy the music of After All I What do you want it for ho asked. Because I liked it so much when I heard it san in Roslyn two years ago that I can't forget it. and 1 want to own. something more satisfactory than tho memory.

How do wo know that our pet song would not be given away or, sold for publication. It is now exclusively our own and as such has peculiar value? I I can only promise you she eagerly answered that I will respect your wishes. Noticing tho musie paner which had been taken unconsciously from the wrapper he i reachod his hand for it, and taking it to the piano, with a pencil he wrote the notes as he cituncii. hummed the air, and played with ono hand nn accompaniment. With tins imperfect realization of her desire tho happy woman went away.

Since then mnuy times during the years, Trieuds have added finishing touehos to tile incomplete music aud it has boon sung by three girl Irieuds. two from Connecticut and one Loner Island womnn. When the illoslynito rend the different accounts ot tho Cum raington memorial services, nothing appealed more directly to her than the statement of the song being sung by the original singer, now an a ed man, but whoso voieo reported to be ''as good as when he sang nnti slnvory and woman's right songs, years, and yars ago." Tito authorship of tlie words is unkaoivn, it was snhi to have beeu a Monting fragment whoso tuneful sound suggested the music to ono of the Hutchinson family, and the favor it always found in every audience before whom it was sung, was proof of its merit. Its revival at Oum niington on such an occasion, is another testi uiouy to its sympathetic power. Following is ttio song: At'TRll A.I.L.

"Vhrre Veterans Hove the Coll Built a Fire on Post He Lost Ills Temper How They Spell Nowadays Only Two Left. Veterans of the force, ex pollcemen who have served their twenty years or more and retired with honor, may always count on something beyond their pension end their savings for a livlng, unless physical disability steps in. Granted that they are still able to work, and most of them are, It does not often happen that thoy have to seek long for occupation. The fact that a man has served the city wdth credit to himself for a long period of years invests him with a character which is just as good as so much hard capital. Ex policemen of all grades are always in demand.

The public can't get too many of them. For the very old, who are not numerous, thcro are soft snaps as messengers or so called detectives. The incumbents ot these positions present themselves at their places of employment for a few hours each day and aro larely expected to do more than stand around and look wisa. It is supposed that their very presence will scaro bad people away. Others, who get out of the business before they reach their 50th year, are supposed to make the best kind of regular watchmen, and a3 such are well remunerated.

Many janitors have worn the uniform, and the same may be said of dozens of collectors, who make life miserable for delinquent debtors. Speaking in a general way and as far as Brooklyn is concerned, ex policemon have a practical monopoly of all the good places, apart from clerical positions, in the'gift of the many large institutions, monetary and otherwise. Not all the exs, however, are content to work for others. There are plenty of them to be found who have got together capital enough to start in business on their own account. In the majority of cases there seems to be a preference for the liquor trade, and, in general, the ventures in this line are successful.

What an old policeman does not know about the intricacies of whisky selling is hardly worth bothering about. Then, too, they count on the large acquaintance they have made and on their ability, derived from observation, to pick out only such customers as are desirable. There have been preachers, also, who were not ashamed to own that they had done patrol duty before going to work in tho vineyard, but only here and there one. Actors, moreover, might be placed on the list, good, bad and indifferent, and at least one theatrical manager. The manager evolved from the plain, every day policeman is still In the flesh very much so and his name Is H.

C. Miner. It is a great many years ago soon after the close of the war that Mr. Miner, whose name is now In the mouths of everybody across the river, took it into his head to put on the uniform of a Brooklyn policeman. There are but half a dozen or so still on the local force who remember him, but these recall him as a happy go easy kind of an individual who had no idea of allowing such trifling affairs as rules and regulations to interfere with his comfort.

He was a young man when he put on the leather headpiece of the metropolitans and he was assigned for duty in the Second precinct. Captain Eason of the Fourth precinct, who was then a patrolman himself, but comparatively speaking an old hand, was told to keep an eye on Miner and train him up In the way a good policeman should go. The task was not a sinecure by any means. As for keeping an eye on the recruit no man could do it. That Officer Miner had peculiar ideas of police duty soon became apparent' and brought on criticism.

All reprimands he took in good nature and just kept on doing as he pleased. One extremely cold night around Christmas time Patrolman Eason missed his side partner, and after hunting for him for some time without avail concluded that he had sought shelter, as he quite frequently did. Later on, attracted by a bright light down one of the streets near the river, he went to see what was the matter. There he found Miner seated on the curbstone in front of a rousing Are which he had built for himself out of barrels and whatever else combustible he could pick up. He was smoking a clay pipe and apparently quite happy.

In course of time, and not very long after this occurrence, he sent in his resignation. At the stne time he save up his shield he shook the dust of Brooklyn from his feet for good. Ex Detective Charles Chambers, then also a patrolman, bought Miner's furniture and has some of it to this day. He thinks that there is a chance of its increasing in value. Miner was never in the least bit stuck on police life, and but very few persons have heard him refer to this part of his career.

It was lucky for him that he had sense enough to see that he would never make a success as a policeman. Some policemen are born cranks, others become such by hard study and constant practice, and others hare crankiness thrust upon them. Of tho first claES is Patrolman Monaghan of the Grand avenue station. He may be summed up as a crank "for fair." His comrades were onto his curves In this respect, and when every now and then the wheels in his head began to whirr they kept away from him and let him play dog to his heart's content. They were always on the lookout for something new from him, but no one thought he was quite as far gone as he really turned out to be.

Was It mixed ale or was it a rush of fat to the head which led him to drag to a dungeon cell the partner of his joys and sorrows? The sergeant who had the desk when Monaghan marched in with his prisoner was largely of the opinion that mixed ale was the motive power. The officer's subsequent conduct helped to bear out this idea, and also went a long way toward showing that he was scarcely fit to be at large. There was once upon a time a man in the Fourth precinct who arrested his old father aud actually lugged him to the station house, because the ancient one refused to give up a quarter for the purchase of beer. Until Monaghan came forward he held the belt. Patrolman Francis C.

Wemyss of the Twentieth is apparently a harmless sort of a fellow, but he is continually getting into trouble all the same. The truth Is that he loves to wander from his post and get around to the cubby holes where three raps of the stick produce a hooker of hot Scotch or a small measure of rum and molasses. Captain Kltzer, taking advantage of his un suspecting nature, has followed in his footsteps a few times lately, and has managed to drop on him under very painful circumstances. In. addition, he told the commissioner that Wemyss was a "still" and that he wished someone would steal him.

Not withstanding tho way it is spelled, Wemyss says that his name must be pronounced "Weems." That is where ho makes a mis take. These double barreled names are al ways hoodoos. A little story told by umcer cnanes a Rickert of tho Sixteenth struck tho com missioner as being so funny that it almost made him drop off the seat. Rickert and his partner, Officer Miller, disappeared, while supposed to be on post one morning not long since and could not be found for fifty five minutes. When the roundsman did finally drop on them they were emerging from a nlace which they were pleased to can a ciud house, and both were wiping their mouths with the beatific expression worn by men who feel that the shot has gone to the spot.

Rickert swore that he had been after Ice water and Miller helped him out. That a couple of policemen should spend an hour putting away flats of Ice water was what made the commissioner laugh. On recover ing himself he divided ten days' pay between the two iokers. Patrolman Mitchell of the Twelfth precinct has managed to keep his place, but as long as he wears a uniform no will he a marked man. The disgrace which attaches to cowardly act will always be his.

WThat passed between him and the mon whom he struck and beat when the poor fellow was defense less and at his mercy will probably never be known, but it is to be supposed that the policeman's apology was abject enough, for when the case was called there was no com plainant. He sent word that he did not wish to go any further. At this point the matter was taken up Dy tne commissioner, wno imposed a penalty of ten days' fine after letting it be understood that if the complaint had been pressed dismissal would have followed. Mitchell's excuse to Captain Dyer, who caught him in the act of punching hl3 prisoner, was that he had "lost his temper." People who lose their tempers generally act on ihe spur of the moment and at once. This bully in uniform took his victim back to the cells, carefully closed the outer door, so as to shut off any noise, and then proceeded to thump him to his heart's content.

Here showed the coward. Had not Captain Dyer baen suspicious, and had he not fol The Exhibition of Women's Portraits at tli Academy. Some of the Werlcs An Absence or Celebrities. Hubert Tos' nellzlitful Picture linlon Shows Hamilton Gibson's Lectures Tin ee or the November One hardly knows bow to take the exhibition that lias just opened at the Academy of Design. It Is a display of women's portraits.

It is full of examples of painting, some of it extremely good and a little of It moderately bad, and the exhibition is held for the purpose of promoting a worthy charity. It has also a social "end" that no other exhibition held in the city has ever had, and there havo been people unkind enough to call It a "dudine show," as if, iorsooth, it were r.he annual gathering about the horses at the Madison square garden, ft was Inaugurated by the 100 on Thursday night, and by such others as chose to pay J5 for the privilege of admission, and there was music and tea and a large display of wealth in clothes and jewelry. People who aro more ente tained by pictures than by clothes realize that in the three weeks of the exhibition that are to follow they can see the works of art in more comfort for a fraction of the price charged on the opening night, and that there eyes will not be distracted by silks and diamonds. The only fault to be found with the conduct of the display is that it has been too manifestly In the service of the set known as the 400, and that in consequence it is deficient in the subject Interest it would have acquired had people of eminence been admitted to the walls. The "smart set" may know who Miss Cutting and Mrs.

Lancey and Miss Jones and Mrs. Wilson are, but the plebeian public have never beard of them, and it looks and it looks about to see if there are not a few women who have written books or plays or acted or sung or painted or gone in tor woman's rights or spoken from political platforms or helped to kill a czar, or posed at fairs as professional beauties. This is a VMtrag view to take of the thing, fur the xanvases should be looked at for their artis tic merit alone, the people who are painted being, for exhibition purposes, without identity. None the less, Ihe general public thinks a good deal of the subject and it would like to see Charlotte Corday or Adelaide Neilson or Sibyl Sanderson or Mrs. Burdett Coutts.

Where is that capital portrait of Emma Eames that her husband painted of her last, year? Was it not at least as well worth looking at as some of the things by Healy and Ingham and Huntington? A good many of the pictures have been shown before, and familiar faces look out from every room upon the one who Is in the habit of going to the annual exhibitions. The old masters are not numerous, but most of them are good examples of their work. Of the modern masters the Americans hold their own with their brethren from beyond the sea. Sargent excels; as usual, in daring and color. Porter in dignity and Madrazo in vivacity and charm.

Madrazo has never been known In this country except, in some bits of genre and street scenes, but here he shows a portrait of one of the women in the Vanderbilt family that is stunning, as the artists like to say. The charac teristics' of his style are as clearly marked in this as in his exhibition work, but it has a size and force that declare its presence above all its neighbors. Miss Wilson and Miss King may also congratulate themselves that they are. to go down to posterity in the glow of an enchantment that this able painter has thrown about his subjects. He evidently admires women and if he does not spend the rest of his life in painting their portraits it will not be for the lack of application? to have him do so.

There is a Washington All.vo.n. a picture of his mother, half a dozen portraits by the late George A. Baker, who was greatly esteemed before we heard from Chase. Mr. Alexander and Mr.

Beck with, the admirable representation of a young woman in reverie by Cecilia Beaux, a fine though sickly piece of flesh painting by Benjam'. Constant, three Leon Bonnats. five picture: by George B. Butler that suggest the period when we wor shiped dull browns and sage greens, five canvases 'by Cabanei. the number 41 being especially pleasing in Its aspect of womanly simplicity, and five by Carolus Duran, one of them his own wife in a dashing costume of oriental stuffs.

His portrait of Mrs. Astor the catalogue does not. state which one is less successful. In enforcing the effect of dlgnity he has made the face appear cold and dull, but he has given a bold relief to the figure by painting It in black against a hanging of gold brown. Miss Cassatl is impressionistic in her treatment of two subjects.

There is a suite of pastels by J. Wells Champney after pictures by Nattier, Boucher ar.d Lebrun. and a large number of miniatures a sort of toy art that threatens to come into vogue again and which is proper enough for vest pockets ar.d mantels. Mr. Chase is dashing and broad, always direct in his output of fore and careless of the way other men would paint the same subjects.

His "Mrs. for example, is bleak and narrow and in the white shawl and black dress looks at first glance as if it were intended to represent respectable poverty. But there Is healthy blood in most, of the work that llr. Chase performs. Six examples of Copley have a certain modern ness and undeniable efficiency.

Dagnan Bouveret might take a lesson of Madrazo as to his treatment of his sitters. Had he done so he would not hav allowed his picture of Mrs. Baker to retain such an expression of severity. Wyatt snows his addiction to low tones and rich effects; he gets character, but he is apt to make his figures a little heavy. Kenneth Frazier's symphonies, or more properly harmonies, and the clear, ripe technic of Will lam W.

Hunt are actually entitled to liking for different results and aims. A picture of Thomas Hicks shows him at his best, for he could be more than indifferent when he cho3o. The sound Eastman Johnsons and Interesting Henry Inmans pale before the Oriental sumptuousness of Munkacsy in his large and almost scenic representation of Mrs. Blumenthal. which must have cost a great deal of money.

George C. Munzig's fresh and charming portrait of Mrs. Webb and her son are well known. The sweet face of Mrs. Hone exacts a glance at one of Rembrandt Pealc 's canvases, which are in conjunction with the old fashioned looking work of Charles Wilson Peaie.

Benjamin Curtis Porter of Boston is one of the geniuses. In most, of bis work he is sedate and conscientious. In his picture of Mrs. Crti ger. who writes erotic stories, he has posed his subject at an opening in a stone wall after the manner of some of the old mezzo tlnters, and although he lias secured a striking effect the heavy treatment of the lower face has vulgarized the expression.

His best success is with the portrait of Mrs. Williams, whom he shows in a dreamy attitude with a cupId beside her a rich picture. What could havo persuaded Henry Raeburn to paint Mrs. Kerr as he did? Her husband has good cause for legal action against him. The celebrated Melssonier that represented Mrs.

Mackay in her alleged original character of washerwoman for a mining camp was not a circumstance to this In this version Mrs. Kerr is a dowd. who is up at the bar of a police court to get a ten day sentence. Mr. Sargent is various, but never stupid or commonplace.

His picture of Mrs. Millet is perhaps the most engaging, for the face is piquant, earnest, bright and playful. His queer wriggly brush stroke is seen in the "Mrs. Pblpps," and there is a shimmer of salmon and green in the portrait of Mrs. Manson.

His most ambitious end least pleasing performance is the portrait of Mrs. Tw ombley where the setting his the cheap splendor of a provincial stage and the lighting of the face puts the nose Into undue and unpleasant prominence. Abbott Thav Is refined in his color and Mr. Zorn is strong. But there is nothing In the galleries more original and delightful than Hubert Vos' portrait of Mrs.

Birnoy. The little woman breaks in upon one like an audible laugh. It Is sweet and line and merry and its presence is cheering. The Century has begun a life of Napoleon that will contain a number of pictures that mail. It is a pity that the photograph had not been perfected in his day, fur should then have known how he looked.

Realizing how addicted to artistic sugar was reuze, one cannot trust his portrait of him; the early drawings by a schoolmate is without Interior evidence of correctness, and the pictures by Castaigue and others, though plctorially important, are e.vursions of imagination, Mr. Castaigne supplies two delicate Illustrations to the story by Mr. Crawford. Irving Wiles has not of late beer, drawing as carefully as ht might have done, hut he gets spirit Jnto his picture ot the policemen's clubs, billies, nippers, twister and various other articles and appliances which policemen are supposed to need in their business. The show was unique and attracted no end of attention.

Young policemen lined up alongside the counter and showed their awestruck friends just the proper way to hold a night stick and where to land a tap with a vieiw toi producing tho most good. How slight scalp wounds, as they are technically called, might be produced by the aid of the innocuous looking billy was demonstrated In a realistic way and all evening long was heard the snapping and unlocking of the bracelets and cuffs. This police display, wherever it came from, had the call and people went heme and dreamed that they were getting it in the neck. Patrolman Charles A. Cully of the Twenty third precinct the Flatbush light infantry will go down to posterity as the first of that body to incur charges.

Cully is well known in Flatbush and half the ablsd bodied men in town were present in the trial room last week to see him worked off. He came within an aco of losing his head and was glad to get away after being shorn of ten days' pay, which means a lot of money where he comes from. Plain drunk was the charge against him. He had wandered into one of the numerous rathskellers to be found in his native town In which they sell a sterilized milk punch man's size for 5 cents and after Juggling with three of them he took off his hat and coat and went to bed under the lunch counter. Village ways are hard to get rid of, but they have to go.

One of, the staff of headquarters deteo tives, name at present unknown, is deficient In tho matter of spelling, and if he is a man and unwilling that the blame due to one should rest on many, he will give three Knocks and announce his identity, not neces sarily for publication, but in order that all concerned may know who he is. It happened last week that an1 official document from a foreign country relating to some missing and crazy nobleman was passed from hand to hand among Inspector MacKel lar's men. The last one who had hold of it. and he is the one whoso name is wanted, inaorsea tne paper and his own report, In relation to matter from Jermany." Soon afterward some eagle eye discovered that a had been substituted for a and the paper was at once returned to the fountain head for correction. But indeed such a trivial error would be hardly worth men tion were it not that mistakes of this or any kind are so rare here.

In New York, Inspector McLaughlin had to own up on the stand that he supposed that the Normannia and La Normandie were one and the same ships. The names sounded pretty much alike and that was enough for him, although a man who was wanted sailed away on ona ship while he was presumably looking for him on the other. The suite of luxuriously furnished rooms at headquarters occupied by the four Inspectors has bean brightened up by tho hanging in Inspector McLaughlin's corner of a fine oil painting, which represents the charge of the Fourth Metropolitans at Port Hudson on June 14, 18153. The canvas is a very large one, and the figures stand out with remarkable distinctness. BomDS are bursting all around.

and rebs and Yanks are prodding one an other with a great deal of industry. The Metropolitans were policemen who went to the front, and Inspector McLaughlin, then a plain patrolman, shouldered his gun and trudged along. He was at Port Hudson, and several people who have seen tho picture say that they can recognize him among tha charging party. The particular soldier they have picked out has retired to one side, and with a good deal of judgment has taken up a strong position in the rear of three stumps, from behind which shelter he is taking a pot shot at a fat reb on top of a fence about twenty yards away. One cannot help pitying the reb.

Inspector McLaughlin claims that the resemblance between him and the man back of tie stump is purely fanciful. He points out a cloud of smoke, more to the front, and says that Just in front of the smoke Is where he was. The picture is by a local artist and is valued at $S00 without the frame. It is not often that a "tableman," as tho telephone artists in the station houses are called, has a chance to make himself heard. They are chained up to their desks and lead very commonplace lives indeed.

Still they can talk when the opportunity presents itself, and it is quite probable that If the truth were known they consider themselves to be just as worthy of attention as the real policemen who go out on post. One of these uniformed clerks from the Sixteenth was down town the other day as a witness. He was young, but his side was phenomenal. He cross questioned the defendant, and receiving some answer not entirely to his satisfaction pulled his chin for a while and then said: "Well, it may be so. Anyway I will give you the benefit, of the doubt." He was much surprised when the commissioner gracefully called him down and told him that he was trying the case.

At this point some rude people in the audience laughed. If there is any money left 1n the police box this year after regular expenses are paid It could not 'be devoted to a better purpose than providing more roomy quarters for the horses and wagons of the First precinct patrol system. As it is the outfit is hid away in a narrow alleys where the smells are more various than choice and the horses havo scarcely room to lie down. In consequence of their being so cramped the hair is all worn off their tails and they are ashamed to appear in public. The men on duty have to sit out in the alley in summer time and in winter they put the awning up and bunk in the mixed ale wagon.

Some one was rash enough to ask Sergeant Metcalfe of the Tenth to tell him, in confidence, of course, how he managed to preserve the blue black raven's wing hue of his mustache. He had it in mind that tlje owner of the said mustache had discovered some chemical which enabled him to bid defiance to nature, but he was backward about saying as much. As it was he received a very curt answer, the pith of which "was that he, the sergeant, had once known a man who amassed A large fortune by minding his own business. Thus corrected the searcher after the unknown went on his way and was seen no more. This particular mustache is one of the very few remaining samples of what was the proper thing some twenty five or thirty years ago.

In those days nothing but black went. Red headed men followed the fashion and no one thought it queer. On the force there ax just two of the old sort left. Sergeant Metcalfe has ono and Captain Leavey the other. Both are daisies.

MC AFEE KOGEH6. One of the prettiest weddings ot the season was that of Miss Anna Louise Rogers, daughter of Dr. C. H. Rogers of Pacific street, to Mr.

"Picturesque Wales" and pictures by Richards and Fisher were also made public, and within a few days the New English Art club, the Society of Water Color painters and the Scottish academy's English contingent will be heard from.

Hamilton Gibson has so many demands for his lectures on flowers that he will devote his time to them almost entirely this season. He is now in Buffalo, where the lectures will continue for a week. These engagements, together with a temporary injury to his sight, will cause him to postpone until the summer any considerable work in writing or painting. C. M.

S. AMONG THE CATHOLIC PARISHES. flic ratronal Feast of Bikliop McDonnell Other This is the twenty fifth Simony after Pentecost and the feast of St. Charles lkrromeo, the special patron of the presont bishop ot Brooklyn. It is also tho fete day of the parish over which Fatnor Ward so happily presides and in whic church it will bo celebrated with all the requisite ceremony.

The gospel of the mass is taken from St. Matthew 28. Bishop McDonnell's legion of admirers who have of Inte noted that he was showing the effects of tho hard work that has boea piling up on his willing shoulders, will be pleased to learn that he is looking much better and fast getting rid of the bad eold caught in a trip to one of the couutry parishes. The enforoed rest it made him take was tho remedy needed and tho flue weather will do the remainder. Tho bisnop is such a tromendous worker that his friends think he often forgets jut how much flesh and blood can stand.

Few realize what tho strain and worry of his vast charge mean when nil accumulates and has to be supervised and directed by one man's authority and judgment. A visitor to Brooklyn last week was Archbishop Jonssensof New Orleans who made a short stay at the residence of his old friend, City Treasurer John D. Keiloy, whiio en route to the South after his visit to Rom and his native Holland. Bishop McDonnell on Tuesday morning will participate at the solemn requiem mass that will be sung in St. Jamas' pro cathedral, Jay street, for the roposo of tho doeeased bishop and priets of this ilioeaso.

On Thursday he will make a visitation to Far Rockaway. The forty hours' uovotioa will begin to day In St. Boniface's church, this city. Tho first social meeting of the Fenelon Rending eircle will take plaee at tne Pouch mansion, Clinton avenue, on next Thursday evening.

Henry Ausren Adams, tho recent convert from tho Episcopal ehareh. A quartet will render Newman's famous hymn, "Lend, Kindly Light." After the literary exercises there will be tho usual social entertainment, which lias proved bo successful a feature during the past seasons. The outlook lor the Fenelon this year promlsos a very brilliant social success, as woli as a valuable educational factor lor its members. An invitation to one of tho evening gatherings is a coveted favor, now that tho demand for thorn is so largo that they have to be limited. Tho tlrst meeting of the St.

All the old members aro expected to be on bund and with them as many volunteers as possible.

The parish of St. Patrick, at Willoughby and Kent avenues, will aiso be in evidence on that evening. It was in St. Patrick's parish that Father Gannon lived and received his education.

There still reside his aged father and mother. All the old members and many young members of St. Patrick's parish remember Father Gannon and will lend a helping hand on this occasion. Tho young men of tho literary association in this parish will also take a lively interest in making this entertainment a success. The Rev.
