A MODEL UNMASKED.
what a Correspondent Has To Say About
Wnshingfon Artists.

There is full-hedged "life class" in
this city where studies are made from living mod
els. The Corcoran Gallery of Art has done much
to develop artistic taste in Washington. dozens
of students who daily avail themselves OF the
privileges of its halls can study from the works OF
the best painters of the Old and New World. The
life class has nothing TO do with the Gallery luis
composed of ladies and gentlemen who, having
reached some proficiency in sketching and paint
ing, wish to study the perfect human anatomy.
All members of the class have the privilege OF
attending its regular session, and Whether the
model is a male or female depends only upon the
subject previously assigned for study. Anold gen.
tleman here secures most of the models for the
class 1t is seldom that he rs compelled TO adVer-
dse, as thereare quito number of well-formed
women of his acquaintance who are willing TO
dedicate themselves to art. The model Is PROVIDED
with mask for the upper part OF the lace, ana no
one but the producer knows her name. Many OF
the models said to be persons of shady charac-
ter, but i'll one instance at least the reverse was
true. Several weeks ago, as singularly beauu-
ful model was standing as Psyche, she sud
denly closed her eyes and fell for
ward in a faint. Other models bad fallen
fainting before and this circumstance would
have attracted little comment had not the
mask dropped from the fair creatures face. The
CONSERVATION of some of the students can be i'm
agined when they recognized in her features those
of widow of an ex-general in the Union army,
who is possessed of wealth as well as figure, OF
which she is vain. A lady in the class quickly
threw handkerchief over her tace, and the faint
ing model was carried from the hall. The lady
was i'll for several days and removed afterward to
Laurel, a suburb of Washington, where She re-
mained until the past few days. She now emerges
from the solitude of the country to be married

The Question of citizenship.

AT the meeting of the Spanish-Amerl-
can Commission at the State Department Saturday
Mr.. Thomas L. Durant, the counsel for the United
States before the commission, stated that he had
been instructed by the Secretary of State to re
quest the umpire Baron Lewenhaupt, to recon-
slider his recent decision in the Buzzi case mas
much as 1t comedies to the Spanish government the
right in determining the question of American
citizenship to go behind the naturalization papers
and require evidence to establish the fact
that the conditions required by our laws
to enitle alien to receive naturalization papers
as on American citizen had been fully
complied with previous to the granting of the GER
tfcate. He then read to the commission a letter
which he had received from the Secretary of State
yesterday morning, giving him instructions to that
effect aid stated that he should at once make
formal request of Count Lewenhaupt 20 reconsider
his decision. Pending the determination of this
question the work of the commission will not
be interrupted, as there are now six cases before
them in which the question of citizenship or nat
uralization does not enter. The State Department
holds that in determining the question of citizen
ship naturalization papers regular in form and
duly issued by competent tribunals shall be taken
not only prind fdcie, but conclusive proof of
the citizenship of a claimant. This position was
conceded by Baron Blanc a former umpire for the
commission

A Wise Congregation.

One congregation in Buffalo is as wise
as serpens if it does not practice all the Christian
virtues, and large portion of the pOpulace cannot
be made to believe that it knows anything about
charity after a recent performance. A popular
lecturer was announced to lecture in the church
on selnireligious subject, and at an early hour
large crowd assembled outside the doors intent to
secure the best seats just as soon as the edifice
should be thrown open to them. After cooling lis
heels for long time on the pavement, the assem-
blage of some four hundred people, was permitted
to enter when, to the great surprise of ALL it was
found that all the front pews were occupied by the
regular church members, having slipped in at side
door, of the existence of which the crowd in front
was not aware

They Will Take the Risks.

Upon the publication of the recent case

common sense for my action in refusing to appear at
the Chestnut Street Opera-HOuse, Philadelphia, on
the evening of the 18th April per contract. That
he knew these reasons in part through my kilograms
of the I'd of April ten days previous, and in part
through his own guilty consciousness of some very
shabby proceedings he at the time cOuntenanc
ing, with intent to spring them on me- when would
be pOwerless to escape consequences. So soon he
is ready to bring his threatened suit against will
be ready with the proof of what here declare and

whose weapons the naked fists of bullying and

At the last session of Congress an act
was passed appropriating $4,000 to erect monu-
ment to the memory of George Washington. at his
birthplace in Virginia Just before Secretary
Evarts retired from the State Department a design
for the proposed monument was submitted to the
Department by Messrs. Howe and Dodd, the Bos-
ton architects, but no action was taken until Sat
urday, when Secretary Blaine authorized the ar
chitects to prepare working drawings and esti
mates of the cost CT erection If it is found that
the estimates will admit of the erection of the
monument for the sum appropriated, the design
as submitted will probably be accepted by the
State Department, under whose supervision the

An Infants IHaIcMiIIion Gone.

Eight yeas ago William H. Taylor, of
Albany, died, leaving son four years old, and an
estate to which the infant sole heir estimated
to be worth at least halfa million of dollars. In
an argument before Judge Westbrook, at Albany,
on motion involving the transfer Of the proceeds
of real estae sales it charged that the income
of this once pIincely fortune is not now sufficient
to support the heir and pay taxes and interest
charges. Bad management, depreciation ofvalues,
and various other causes have, ii is said, con-
tributed to this result. Judge WestbTook made an
order for the payment ofcei tain taxes and judg-
ments, and will, at a future day, take proof Ella
tive to charges p eferTed by the Hon. Hamilton

or opinions detrimental to General Brady, late
Second Assistant Postmaster General As to the in
famous story that Brady's name had been con-
sidered in connection with contemplated criminal
proceedings Postmaster General James character
ICES it false and cruel. The torrent of obloquy
set in motion against the exoffieial although evi-
dently procured, is not acknowledged by its
authors. They will doubtless be unearthed in due

NEWSPAPERS are frequently perverted from their
proper uses, and made 10 giind the axes of Office
seekers but it is a novel thing for man to buy
daily journal for the purpose of helping him to
hold on to place which he suppOses the admin
straton would want to put him out of This appears
to be what ex-Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Brady did when he bought the Washington
REPUBLICAN. His plan failed. lthad two weak spots
in if. One was that the constituency of he paper
is composed exclusively of people who hold Office
in Washington, and who are always on the side of
the Administration ii any controversy forced u5on
il. The other that t overlooked the fact hat
the President is not the sort of man to be in im-
dated by newspaper denunciatiOn. Mr.. Brady has
not been success as an office holder. Perhaps he
will do better as publisher. We recommend him
to try. He cannot sign any more star route con-
tracts, but he will find plenty of occupation in
making his paper pay expenses.-Nelg York Tribune
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is Stalwart
Republican newspaper. Its independent
course has steadily increased its subscrip-
ton list, and its financial success is as
sured. 1t grinds the axes of no Office
holder, ofice-seeker, or railroad king. 1t
has no stockholder who would make it
his personal organ if he could. 1t will
advocate what it believes to be for the
true interests of the Republican party,
but will do so on the Independent judg-
ment of its conductors. 1t has not cringed
to power to continue in office a stock
holder, and would not do so even to
secure for its editor the mission to Berlin.
The Ifjbm,e's impudent suggestion that
we have attempted to intimidate the
President falls harmless, coming as it
does from source which a few years
since bespattered General Garfield with
calumnies as gross and disgusting as are
its sycophantic praises Of to-day. The
REPUBLICAN cannot praise the Presidents
selection ofa collector for the portof New
York, but it never charged him with

A little more Republicanism of the Jor-

THE Washington Post, New York World,

think that Senator Frye's speech is evil
dence of some perfdy on the part of the
administration toward the Democratic
side of the Senate. One statement is that
Democratic Senators who intended to
vote for the confirmation of Robertson as
collector at New York are now opposed
to him. What can the matter be? Why
