Central freight railroad car and bumper
block on one Of the floats on Saturday
week last. The testimony showed that
certain number of cars had been shifted
on the centre of the three tracks, on the
float. Testimony was adduced to show
that the tracks would accommodate such
a number of cars. but it was also proven
that the cars had bounded from the
bumper block and the end of the last car
shifted projected beyond the switch which
allowed cars TO be shifted on the side
tracks Of the float. AS consequence.
the cars intended to be switched on to
the side tracks bumped against the pro-
jecting car on the centre tracks and sent
the train back against the bumper block,
from which few minutes before it had
bounded. Servess was standing between
the rear car and the bumper block and
was thus caught and crushed to death.
The jury rendered a verdict to the effect
that the death of Servess was caused by
the carelessness of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey.

THE CHRIST FARM.
The Old Picnic Ground Rapidly Build
fpU IT.,

The Old Picnic Ground Rapidly Build
ing Up.
That section .of the elevator district
on the brow of the Hill, originally known
as the old Christ" Farm, is receiving a
splendid boom, and ere long a row of
hous es will string along Palisade avenue
to fill up the picturesque gap between
the elevated road and the residence of
DIR. Converse. The Booraems have al
ready sold number of lots and will sell
more at auction next Thursday.
For some weeks past gangs
of workmen have been busy
constructing continuation of Og-
den avenue, along the centre of the brow
as far as the old farm house. now pic
turesque but antiquated pile OF faded
lumber. A continuation of Booraem
avenue has also been constructed as far
sdown as the Ogden avenue construction,
and q street, with but one sidewalk, to be
known as Woods place, has been opened
from the northern end of the Ogden ave-
nue. construction, along the elevated road,
TO give egress to Palisade avenue. Thus
one entire block, when built up will be
added to the district on the north side of
the old Ravine road. The work of blast
ing the rock for excavations for two new
buildings, facing on Palisade avenue, op-
posite Henkel's Casino, was commenced
TWO months ago, ana tne foundations are
already being laid.
Mr.. Luke Boyle, the father of AS
semblyman Boyle, is erecting big brick
four-story double fiat that will accom- o.
date eight families, and John P. Rhine
hardt, is erecting splendid three-story
frame fiat to accommodate three families
immediately alongside of Mr.. Boyles
building. Others will no doubt soon fol-
low, as wherever Mr.. Rhinehardt has
built in the section, spectators have in
variably followed.
"Christ" farm twenty-five years ago
was picnic resort and patronized ex-
tensively by New York, Hoboken and
Jersey City parties. 1t overlooked three
cities and one of the most magnificent
harbors in the world. The ravine which
cut the section in half, lined with
flowers and shrubbery, was also one Of
its chief attractions. The once favorite
grounds finally acquired bad reputation
and gave way TO other more popular new
resorts. The proprietor died and the
grounds fell into the hands of one Wood,
dock builder. The name was changed
to Ruck Ridge. But it never regained
its former prominence. It has since re-
mained a picturesque but idle waste up
to few months ago.

Discoveries at Pompeii.

At Pompeii some mural paintings Of
more than ordinary interest have recently
been disclosed. In the eighth region, be-
tween Nos 16 and q of the Second In
sula, Via III. and ", the remarkable dis
covery has been made of house FIVE
stories high. The upper floor, which is
entered from the higher level formed by
mound of prehistoric lava, is profusely
decorated, and the principal hall displays
on one wall the myth of Bellerophon, a
nude figure who, holding with one hand
the bride of his horse, is in the act of re-
ceiving the letter and orders of King Proc
tus, who is seated on throne before him.
The lower part of the house, looking to-
ward Stable and the sea. was used as a
bathing establishment. Three steps lead
into the frigiddrlum, which is perfect, the
lower part of the surrounding walls being
painted blue, and the upper red. The mid
die of the right wall is occupied By a
picture representing a nymph, semi-nude,
borne over the waves on sea-horse. The
horizontal band dividing the blue from the
red surface is a kind of frieze of comic or
caricature scenes, representing dwarfs and
pigmies, in scenery evidently Of the Nile
country, fighting with various animals.
One dwarf is in the act OF throwing a large
stone at an ibis while another is trying
to save by drawing to the land a figure
probably a woman) fallen into the river,
when, seized himself by crocodile, he has
tied himself with rope to another dwarf,
standing behind, who is striving with
might and main to prevent his comrade

A London manager recently produced a
new play, and gave matinee performance
of it that was entirely unique. He sent
invitations to somewhat more than 1000
clergymen of all denominations, aud these,
with their families, packed the house on
the occasion named, there being no others
in the audience. The play was frequently,
and sometimes efusively applauded, as the
presentation was proportionately spirited
Between the acts the manager made an
address, and stated that OF all the persons
of the clerical profession whom he had in
vited to be present, but eight had declined
outright, so it is fair to presume that of
the hundred score and more hidden to the
dramatic feast, but this very small number
considered play-going improper in such a
sense as to call for an affirmative and ag-
gressive declination on their part.

ART NOTES.

The Sacramento School of Design
opened for its winter term in the E. B.
Crocker Art Gallery October 1st. There
is fair attendance. The school is one OF
the best. In its FIVE years of life it has
had success of the first order, and has
turned out some of the brightest art stu
dents in the State. 1t possesses superior
advantages as to location, study room and
contiguity to the Art Gallery The school
deserves liberal support, and if it is to full
fill its mission, must have it.
The only way in which Mr.. Balfour
would consent to let Alma Tadema paint
his picture was "to catch him as he could"
Alma Tadema has, therefore, had to work
by remaining with the Chief Secretary in
his room while he was engaged in the or
dinary business of the day, and taking
notes and studies for the purpose of his
pictures as chance served.
The excitement that is filling the air in
regard to Sybil Johnstone's impersonation
of LA in ''The Clemenceau Case" is most
certainly demoralizi 1g. II is not qpes-
tion of whether the artists model, sup
posed to be nude, should be draped or
undraped. The actress is right in her idea
that slight drapery is indecently sugges-
tive. The wrong, however, and the great
est indecency and the part that admits of
no argument, is the mistake Of opening the
studio door, even on the stage, to pro-
miscuous public, public that is without
sympathy or general knowledge of the art
soul that places the model beyond any in
dividual or personal thought. The actress
may be sacrificing herself to her art, bu.
she does not stop to consider that she is
sacrificing also a sacredness of studio life,
and possibly is exposing her ignorance OF
the innate refinement of even the most
hardened professional model. No artist
would open his door to any one outside of
the art world, and no model would pose
for an instant if she discovered the glances
of curious eyes.
Says the Chicago Herald: Possibly
you have heard this story. A professional
model, who had supported herself for
years in this way. was posing one morning
before very large class. She had been
standing there for nearly an hour, when
suddenly she gave terrible scream and
jumped behind screen She could not be
induced to pose again until some men who
were liking the skyllght were sent away.
She had looked up and discovered man
peering at her through broken glass. 1t
is possible there are exceptions, and a
touch of life is given to the painting
through the artist having more than pro-
fessional interest in the model. Generally
speaking, however, the model is no more
TO the artist than is the patient to shy-
sician. A prominent artist said. during
New York's previous excitement over the
nude in art, that models were no more to
the artist than SO much clay, and that he
had known of an artist painting all day
from the nude model without addressing a
word to her other than to suggest change
of pose, and then going to his hotel and
watching, with the most vivid interest,
just shadow on curtain, across the way,
of woman dIsrobing. A mans art, from
a mans life, like his love is thing apart"

part of the gray-coated park police
men. 1t was Commissioner Board
mans idea. and when he brought the
matter up in the meeting Of the board
about a month ago, he metwith no oppo-
sition. The boys would battle in the lake
anyhow, and when it would have taken
just about three times as many park
policemen as are now employed to havc
kept them out. Now. with the public
bath house, there will be no occasion
for the SensibilitieS of any of the people
who drive along the boulevardS to be
shocked at the sight of a crowd OF
urchins sporting about in the water
clothed only in natures garb. There
will be no charge at the public bath
house for anything. An attendant will
see that the clothing of the bathers is
properly cared for, and each lad will be
furnished with bathing suit, which Is
the property of the park board. Then
the arrangements are somewhat better
than can be found anywhere else along
the lake. and this will, in a great meas
ure keep the boys out of the water at
other points along the lake.
The bath house which now stands
under the high bank at the foot Of
Thirty-second street is one-story frame
structure, built of planned lumber, the
outer end of the building resting on
piles. 1t is fifty feet long, by sixteen
feet wide and now contains eight dress
ing rooms and one large room in which
the boys may hang their clothes. A
platforms six feet wide extends the en-
tire length of the lake side of the build
ing from which steps lead down to the
