MAD AT KENNA.
A Washington CLERK VINO wants the Sec.
retery's Gore

A Washington CLERK " no Wants the Sec
retsry's Gore.
WASHINGTON, September "A pub
lished interview with Senator Kenna,
during his visit hare last week, in the
course of which he referred sneeringly TO
the civil employees Of the Government, has
created great excitement among the de-
uartmeut clerks. The Senator's remarks
were aimed, across the backs of the clerks,
fall at the civil service law, q favOrite tar
get with public men who drop into Wash
iuglon about these days All employees
lslow the grade OF chiefs Of bureaus we're
hkened TO teamsters Ia the rear Of an
army; aud in another figure Of speech the
Senator explained his reluctance TO
making "cleln sweep every time a
new administration comes, by comparing
the old servants 10 old clothes
which TT too comfortably to be cast
aside. TIE injured dignity OF the clerks
has found expression in a variety of ways
and one Of tho weekly papers quotes a
well known worker il the Interior De
partment as saying that he advocates such
measures on the part OF the clerks Of the
Government as would pu. an end to the
glowing tendency among small politicians
M Congress TO insult officials Of other
branches Of the Government, their supe-
riors 10 all thirgs bat the possession Of
money and position. Most of the speeches
aud interviews wherein the civil service
law is denounced and Government clerks
il suited without provocatiOn are given fer
political eff,c, at home, and by men who,
no MATER what their politics may be, are
too cowardly TO rise in their places in Con
gress and move the repeal Of TIE law. Il
is inferred from ether remarks made by the
same person that il his intention 10 notify
senator Kanna that a repetition Of such a
sweeping attack upon the employees OF the
Government will be res eated il a manner
more forcibls than pleasant.

the statesmen who had never before denied
that the Tariff is tex p1id by the con-

damage has been done by tbs electric
Storm, which, beginning Sunday morning,
did not cease until late last night. The
wind blew at times as high as seventy miles
an hour, accompanied by rain and sleet
Immense damage was done between Corn
wall and Napanee, including Kingston. In
the latter city the hurricane picked up
three trees two feet in diameter and blew
them through the street like straws.
Earthlake, Wellington and King streets
are impossible with uprooted trees and
demolished fences. The city park ia mass
of ice. Hundreds of trees were torn down
by ice and wind, their crashing and the
bursting of the Ice sounding like rolls of
musketry throughout the night. There is
hardly telephone or telegraph wire up
in the city. Several tall chimneys fell
during the storm.
In the country the damage has been
fully as great. Railroad tracks are i'm
psssable, in some places having a foot of
solid ice upon them, and telegraph pole
bestrew them at short distances apart

ART NOTES.

1t is said that one person in seven in France
follows art either as q professional or ollie
tante.
The exhibition of old masters at Durling-
ton house, London, will this year be partcu-
larly devoted to the works of Rembrandt.
Montreal revels in loan collection of
pictures at its art gallery. 1t consists of
paintings by modern Dutch, Flemish and
German artists.
There is movement in England for a
monument to be erected to Christopher Mar
lowe. Canterbury and Cambridge have been
spoken Of Us sites.
London has an exhibition of mezzotints
1t includes nearly all the fine plates made in
the half century which commenced with ITO
the time when mezzotint was at its best.
The total sales Of pictures at the Glasgow
exhibition, Scotland, amounted to S30, 900, or
about the same amount as are sold annually
in New York at an Academy exhibition.
The invention Of oil painting is generally
attributed to John Van Eyck, a Flemish
painter, who lived at the beginning Of the
Fifteenth century. Previous to that time
colors were mixed with water, gum or wax.
Van Eyck confded his secret to Antony, of
Messina, who went from Flanders to Venice.
where he practiced the new method, which
was speedily adopted by other painters.
The result of the excavations made BY
arch@ologists at and near Mycene Greece,
the past season, have been highly satisfactory.
Fifteen prehistoric tombs were opened, and a
large number Of valuable relics of a pre.
Homeric ago discovered. Among them are
stones with Inscriptions, the SO called 'sisland
gems" copper vases and q variety of other
objects in ivory, gold and glass. The whole
collection is to be deposited in the museum at
Athens
