With the Empire fashions in dress have
come new fashions in furniture. The dark
hangings and dlsky tints of the aesthetic
period have vanished. Early English has
given place to late French. The gloom has
given place to a food of white and gold and
the tintS of spring, the crocus, the violet and
the datfodil White and gold are the favor
ito colors for furnishing bedroom and bou-
DOR, or white and silver, with faint and deli

of dull green and whites The bed and all

with delicate little white ratings as n finish
to each piece, and fine lines and touches OF
gold rs n relief. The floor is of polished white
wood, with rug as thick and palely green
as wood moss
All the white furniture is upholstered with
pale gray green velours. The walls are in

A Dismal Room Pleasantly Transformed

There are many dismal rooms, defective in

was a conventoualized rose, closely inter

with warm touches of cream color. This,
neither yellow nor green, provided for the re-
Election OF light,
The ceiling was tinted creamy yellow, a
few lines of deeper color i'll the cornice, this
ceiling giving golden glow contrasted with
adiutant tones The middle wall course or
picture space was changed from brown TO a
plain citron olive distemper color; the mold

painted gray blue The skirting and doors
also were OF gray blue, giving contrast to the

of effect was secured by painting the gray
mantels deep crimson toned venetian red,
the over mantel the same relieved by brass
adolnments and colored bric-a-brac. Cur
tains were supplied of deep coral red wool
The windows introduced to hide exterior
views were of rolled cathedral glass The
change was that of enchantment, securing a
quiet, rcposeful, rich effect, the upper por-

say, men out of his office, those who cling TO
his skirts III the social circle, have sometimes
more influence with him than those within

II is a popular error that Mr. Bennett is a
driaxilg man and inclined to dissipation and
many uonsenscal stories have been written
concerning his escapades, Ii he were less
prominent, they never would have been
known or fabricated While the Scotch ele-

are generally men OF the world, rich and
without uvocation it is oftener they than
himself who show an ncapacity to stand

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
THE PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF JAMES GORDON BENNETT.

A Modern Journalist Viewed from Many
Sides-somc Popular Errors Concerning
Him-The London and Paris Editions
of the New York Herald.

among Siberian ice, at the North Pole starry
ing and freezing to death and leaving behind
only trail of honor-in fact, on every field
of action and exploit, The New York Herald
has had its representatives; and all because
this young Napoleon, absolute, arbitrary and
frequently despotc, has imperiousy given
his command to the men around him who
knew he must be obeyed or they must lose
their hold.
Not content with his marvellous successes
on this side of the Atlantic Mr., Bennett has
recently endeavored to repeat them in Europe
by publishing a London and Paris edition of
The Herald. Several of his best editors and
reporters, men familiar with his methods,
were drawn from the New York office, and
in addition, he has had the valuable aid of
tho Commercial cable, another Of his mag
nificent projects; yet thus far it does not APP
pear that he has achieved the full measure
of victory contemplated.
If the life of this remarkable man were
written in detail, an analysis of his character
would present many contradictory qualities.
The foregoing incidents in themselves illus
trate the flint and steel in his nature, but
there are certain other phases that will bear
a cursory view.
Physically, Mr.. Bennett is put together like
an athlete, and would attract attention in
crowd His figure is TALL spare and appar-
emily without superfluOus flesh One would
guess his average weight to be l4j pounds,
and these are carried with a grace and alert
ness that betolen both a nervous disposition
and perfect health. He always looks fresh, no
matter how late were his hours the night be-
fore. His features are strong, but neither
regular nor handsome, save when kindly
smile brings the flexible mouth and gray
eyes into twin brotherhood, and shows the
brighter side Of the mans nature. In repose,
the features are severe and wear a look Of
incredulity--a sort of I-don't-bciieye-you ex-
preston. but this is the Scotch side Of bis
nature that no turns outwards TO his re-
porters and subordinates. the men who are
serving him best; while with strange
inconsistency he yields implicit confidence
to men who, in the guise Of friendship,
are after only his wealth or influence and, IL
they dared, would swindls him without COM

THE rumor is afoat once more that the
Pope is about to leave Rome. That story
was born at the time of the establishment
of Italian unity, and has been toddling
about most of the time since, every now
and then slumbering and then struggling
to its feet again. There is nothing in it.
The Pope will not leave Rome, because
there is no spot in civilized countries now
where he could establish temporal power
such as will give him more political i'm
portance among potentates and nations
Italy is under pledge to the Powers to do
no harm to the Pope, and except an at
tempt to restrain him of liberty were
made, he would have no excuse for exil-
ing himself from the Vatican. Italy is
entirely contented with present conditions,
and is not likely to break faith with
Europe by any proceeding that will give
Leo an excuse for leaving. The Italian
Government has so secured its pledge for
the safety of the Pope that violation would
involve it beyond any possible benefit it
could derive from securing the Papal
possessions.

THAT Mr.. White goes to the polls in
Windsor, Canada, next Monday as a can
didate for Mayor on the annexation issue,
is not fact justifying the statement in
the dispatches that the election will be a
test Of Canadian sentiment as to the an
nexation scheme, for Windsor is not fairly
representative of Canada. 1t is very near
the line and is greatly influenced by
Detroit, Buffalo and other border places.
No vote of a single locality can be taken
as a test of the sentiment of the people Of
the Dominion. When a true feeler is
thrown out, it will touch public judgment

SOME of the people who are endeavor-
ing to keep General Harrison away from
the inaugural supplemental ceremony
called ball, hold that they ere justified
in their effort because General Harrison is
a Christian man. But do they not per-
ceive that they are simply crippling this

him tasks he cannot accomplish? Is it
wise to demand of him that which he can
not do without inaugurating his admins

aid to the effort to uplift his profession. 1t
has fallen into disrepute because of the ir-
regular lives of SO many of its members,
and because of the greed of managers who
for coin cater to the vulgar taste. The
attempt of Mr.. Booth bankrupted him.
But he set bravely to work at time when
he was entitled to rest, and has in his old
age redeemed his fortune. The first use
he makes of his means is to dedicate to his
art a handsome building and to consign
the trust to club of actors who are doing
all they can to dignity the profession and
cut it loose from the low element that has
fastened upon it. There are evidences all
about us that this reform is making pro-
gress. The melodeon that has usurped
the stage for the last twelve years is find
ing its original level, and the public taste
is demanding the restoration of the legit-
innate" There is reason to believe that
the next decade will witness its return
and the Punishment of the vulgar variety
show, the mere "leg" exhibition, the
silly burlesques and, what are worse, the
so-called satires from the stage of decent
theaters. In this reform the actors who
are moving in it have the sympathy and
countenance of the intelligence and re-
finement of the day, but not nearly SC
much of cooperation as they should
have. We are constantly told that
there are great social problems be-
fore us that demand our attention
the solutions of which are vitality essential
to the people, if society is to keep abreast
in its moral tone with its intellectual ad
vance and its scientific progress. We sub
NIT that there is no educating agency more
a menace to social reform than the stage o
to-day, so far as it is usurped by the vulgar
and vicious, and is prostituted to uses tina
benumb the sensibilities, give to you'll
false ideas of life and pander to the mos
abhorrent of tastes. The better class O
actors represented by Edwin Booth ant
Mary Anderson, and Lawrence Barrett ane
the few score of men and women of tn,
stage whose clean lives are devoted t.
dramatic art in its purity, deserve the en-

but for their courageous effort to uplift tn
