The Work of MI. Limoges"

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
In an article, entitled "Art Interests in this
city" in the Sentinel, of last Sunday, was the
following, names omitted:
much of the exquisite painting on china to be
found at IS is from Mrs IS brush and
some of her work is pronounced by Mr.. - as
equal to Limoges in Paris"
You can't imagine what a shock that sentence
gave me- To be in the fashion, have made a
point to be perfectly devoted to antiques For
years 1 have been picking up fine specimens of
genuine Limoges" ware, decorating my rooms
Herewith, and proudly exhibiting them to visit
ers, under the impression that they were as
described by one of the highest art people IN the
city, 'relics of early italian days, resuscitated
by the renaissance and now to be informed that
Mr.. Limoges lives, actually lives and gets up his
work in Paris; it's too bad for anything.
The work is pretty enough. almost as pretty as
we do here, and I don't find fault with that but
the idea Of being so deceived of having all the

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
1t is nearly eight years since we were told that
we were going to have new catalogue to the
Public Library. We once had good, suitable,
complete catalogue; it was made by Librarian
No. l, and he made it in three weeks Nobody
supposed he doing anything smart Of
course Librarian No. 2 had to begin new cata-
logue. No. is catalogue was not good enough
No must have a catalogue of the big, burly,
sprawling, classical sort BY classical is meant
a catalogue in which subjects are classified; for
instance, under the mead Biography" all the
biographies are expected to be TO- nd. An ut
terly impractical kind of catalogue for on look
ing under its appropriate head only very few
biographies can be found. An actual classified
ton of the books would make the catalogue too
expensive. As it is, there is just enough classi-
fcation to make the catalogue Inconvenience
Librarians No. ?, No. 3 and No. 4
have been houndering about in the A B Cs
of this uncomfortably big catalogue ever since it
was started. The good, sensible catalogue Of
No. l Is about worn out. No supplements have
been added since he left though he kept the
library catalogued up in supplements while he
staid. The frequenters of the library are or
dered to look at the lists stuck on the wall for
books. Even the card catalogue is not now
kept up. Things are coming to such pass that
the library will have to be closed in order to
catalogue it, and when that is once done none
can tell when the thing will be opened again.
librarian seems 10 be in the nature of things
dilatory and negleetful. Anybody but librai.-
ian could catalogue the library in three weeks
easily. Our public library is very
meager, paltry little collection of books
and strangely lacking in good books
Look on the wall lists, strain your eyes, crack
your neck. and what do you hndl Plenty of
books like this: "A Sea Queen" 'Dialect

party, want to call back for consideration the
naval appropriation bill" [Groans from the Re
publican side
