Will BE Held.
speeisl to the Sentinel.


WAsHINGToS, Feb. Ito day | paid
visit to the new Pension B1ilding which is
being put In order for the inaugural ball.
Things are in very crude condition there
now, and it would seem like an impossi-
biiity to make it habitable within
two weeks There are pools OF
water inside the building, no floor down,
on the outside and inside, but few windows
in, and only two barriers for the roof.
"Do you think this room can be msde
comfortsble2' l inquired of workman.
"Well, yes, if the weather Is not too Sc
vere," he answered. "You know it doesn't
require much warmth in a ball room, but
the ladies dresses are so decolette now that
it would be great exposure il they come here
on a blustry night" OF course much will
be done here during the next two weeks to
make this huge roam look cozy, but it can not
be made comfortable am told by the old
physicians here, however, that at least
twenty-five deaths occur from every inaugu-
ratiln ball, and that 10 per cent OF the
ladies are always i'll from the exposdre
True, but few come to the balls for any other
purpose than to see the decorations and have
it TO say they were here, bat enough OF them
engage IN the dances to breed Illness and
death.
am told that the sales OF tickets are very
rapid, and thlt it is not probable that any
of them can bs bought, ex cept at premi-
um. The fixed price is s., but the premium

President Arthur Ready to Move.

Special TO the Sentinel.
WAsHlNGToE, Feb. 17.-President Arthur
has packed up about all OF his personal ef.
fects at the White House. Some of these
have been shipped to New York. There is
nothing abeut the Executive Mansion be-
longing 10 the President except his clothing
and papers. The furniture, tableware,
paintings books, supplies in the kitchen
and dining room, all bslong to the house,
aud were furnished by the Government.
Every four or eight years the White
House is srejuvenated, returnished, and made
as nearly new as possible. II is repAinted,
repapeIed and redecOrsted, however, about
every two years. There has been none of
this work done especially for Mr.. Cleveland.
Last spring and summer Tiffany came down
from New York and the house was put in
order at cost of something near S25. 900,
and the old place could not be very much
improved now.
There is no residence a the country pos
sessing so much silent grandeur ss that Of
the President. There is little OF fash about
il, but everything is of the finest and every.
thing is in order. The house will be given
up by Mr.. Arthur in much better condition
than when he took it. His society events
have served to keep the Executive Mansion
in prime condition. The decorators have
visited it oftener, and have been more lavish
in their work than ever before. The place
will be practically vacant during the las
week Of the administration. Indeed, it l.
little more than an off &c now.

An American Mute Artist.

have been looking at two pictures,
writes a Paris correspondent, by an
artist who has been a deaf-mute ever,
since his infancy. Mr.. Humphrey;
Moore. however, talks as nimblv with
their tongues, and that, too, in some
four or five languages. He is one of
our best American painters, and these
two canvases are attracting q greati
deal of attention. One is character
istic Spanish scene, view of the.
ALEXANDRIA; twelve dancers and musi-.
clans on and around table; two CO.
quettish ladies seated in chairs enjoy.
ing themselves with the gossip of these.
cabotins, and in the background the
old Moorish palace. In truth, the
scene is living one. The physiogno-
mics each had their proper character,
their individuality, and vet all are
participating in the common action,
that bids fair to bring them in plenti-
full supply of coin. These players,
this beautiful dance, these ravishing
senoritas, are alive, their pc .es are |!
easy and natural, their local costumes;
accuracy itself. Mr.. Moore has re-;
produced with marvellous fidelity the
black eyes, the luscious lips, the grace
full forms, the exact colors which he
saw in Seville and elsewhere out-of-i
doors in that picturesque land. The:
figures are small, almost minute, and
yet with what a vigorous touch, with
what great fnesse, has he laid on all
the artistic details that were necessary.
to give to them a moving actually.
This remark is equally true as applied
to the other picture, scene in Japan,
and which is brim-full of the local
color of that far-off empire. For these:
two pictures Mr.. Croker paid for the
Spanish $1,000, and for the Japanese
one $4,000. Bonnat pronounces both
of them raUissant. Mr.. Moore is a
pupil of the geat Gerome, and disci-
Pile, so to speak, of the Iamented
Fortuny, whose widow IS one of Mrs.
Moore's most intimate friends. Both
these ladies are Spanish. and both are
as good as they are beautiful.
