MILLIONS IN PICTURES
Art Treasures in the Galleries Of
Rich New Workers : The Art
Centre of the World.

!. New York is becoming one OF the
greatest art centers in the world" said
a dealer in fine pictures to New York
Mail aud Express reporter recently.
Surely SIC, 900 600. and probably more,
are invested in the pictures which hang
on the walls of private galleries In this
city. The majority of these pictures
are, however, the production of foreign
artists, although there is quite a large
number from the studios of American
artists. During the past few years,
there has been 8 marked and rapid ad-
vance in the knowledge and apprecia-
ton Of art in this country. This is in
the main due to the frequency with
which Americans make European tours
and visit the foreign studios ard gal
leries. Americans have thus been en-
abled to study the works of the old
masters as yell as the modern school.
The result has been that they purchase
more intelligently and Discriminatory.
The pictures in eighteen private gal
leries in this city are actually worth
5000. O00-"
What artists have furnished most Of
the pictures to these galleries p
These collections are composed of
the best examples of celebrated modern
painters, both foreign and American.
Many of the best works. especially OF
French art, have forced their way into
this country. Very many Of the mas
terpieces Of Troyon, Millet, Corot, Du-
pre-, Diaz. Danblgny, MISSIONER. Ge-
rome, Bouguereau, and Cabanel among
Frenchmen: Knaus among Germans;
and Alma Tadema among the Dutch
have been drawn from private coliec-
tons in France and elsewhere to the
palatial homes ofour merchant princes.
In addition TO pictures. large and valu-
able collections have been made OF OBJ
jects of art. bric-a-brac, and interior
decoration"
Can YOU tell me about some Of the
finest collections in the city ?" asked the
scribe.
Il can tell you Of some of those on
which over 500 900 has been expended.
The gallery Of the late William II.
Vanderbilt heads the list. The pictures
which hang on the walls OF the Fifth
Avenue mansion are estimated at

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. May 1s.-0ficers
of twenty national trades unions met
here with closed doors this afternoon to
take united action, it was sta 20. to
resist the Entertainments being made
upon open unions by the KNIGHTS of
Labor. Thirty-two associations we're
represented by delegates or letters and
claim to have a total membership
of 36T,763. The representative of
each organization presented his
grievance. At the close of the even
ing session, which continued until
after midnight, the secretary stated
that resolutions had been adj
opted, declaring that in view of the
success that had attended the efforts of
the national and international unions
in the past, they should strictly preserve
their distinct ard individual autonomy;
that il is not deeme,l advisable for any
trade union to be controlled by or to
join the Knights of Labor i'll body,
believing that the trade unions are best
qualified to regulate their o~n internal
trade affairs. The resolutions further
declare that tits the purpose of certain
element of the knights of Labor to de-
stroy the trades unions and that this
element makes il a point to encroach
on the mission and prerogatives of the
trades unions, aTousing antagonism
and provoking disseDsions in the labor
movement, TO the delight and satisfac-
ton of the capitalists. fU fH
The conference, however, concluded
that some concerted plan of action was
absolutely necessary to prevent a con
tinuance OF this destructive policy, and
to establish harmonious and fraternal
relations between all the various
branches Of organized labor, and set
of terms was drafted with this object in
view, TO be presented as treaty for the
consideration OF the Knights of Labor,
which will meet next Tuesday at Cleye-
land. The nature of the terms was not
disclosed. They will be submitted TO
general executive board of the Knights
of Labor on Monday next by the COM
mittee.

Blount.of Georg from the committee

back the postothce appropriation bill
with the Senate amendm sutS. and II
having been referred 70 the committee
of the whole. the House wentin com
mittee for the purpose OF considering
the amendments. Blount addressed
his remarks TO that clause known as
the subsidy amendment" and
made an argument in opposition to it.
The appropriation of $50, 900, he con-
tended, would not secure any advsnt-
age in the way OF obtaining additional
mail trips, but would have the contrary
effect. Under the clause the Post.
master-General would be required 10
contract, if he contracted at all, for not
less nor more than five years. and this
would act as an absolute inhibition
upon any other company than the one
holding the contract, attempting TO
traverse the same line. The increase in
the number of days would be stopped,
and while the contract was in
force any increase of the foreign
postal service would be prevented.
He quoted statistics to show the differ
ence in the pay which the steamship
companies received under the present
law for carrying the mails from that
which they would receive if the pro-
posed legislation were enacted and as an
instance OF the evils which ne main
tanned would follow such enactment.
stated that the mails carried by the
Oriental and Occidental lines at cost
OF So 800 would have to be carried by the
Pacific Mail at a cost of sos, $50. He
denied the correctness OF the declaration
that the decline of American commerce
was due to the fact that the United
States refused to pay subsidies to its
steamships companies and asserted that
the decline was attributable to the
narrow minded policy which forbid
American citizens from purchasing
ships abroad.
Mr.. ;euenther, of Wisconsin, said
that the appropriation did not rise to
the dignity of a subsidy. 1t was
neither fish. flesh nor fowl, It was a
gift, pure and simple. 1t was charits'

a corporation which Congress SHOULD

An Unsuccessful Failure.

The habit of failing with full pockets
got something in the nature of back
set not long since in small Texas
town.
The unfortunate man kept small
grocery store. He sold out the stock
for cash, put the money in his pocket,
and settled down to have nice quiet
time of it. His principal creditor. Il
Houston merchant, having arrived in
the town, called on the bankrupt. Ho

there was a gritty sort of look about
him.

marked.

There are no assets and all my Gre

months to wind it up. You can have it,

II want no humbug about this.
Where is the money you got from the
sale of the groceries,
Its right here in my pocket" said
the bankrupt.
"Well, you are n cool one
I've got the money right here, and
I'm going to keep it, replied the bank

Yes, in greenbacks.

bankrupt, said:

you don't give me the contents of your

rupt could reply he was looking down
the muzzle of pistol that seemed to
be as big as flour barrel.
The Houston man got his money.
