GRATEFUL EDITOR,
Some weeks ago the wife Of Colonel
Cockerill of the World, had the misfortune
to break her leg while out shopping and
unattended. A young physician who hap
pened to be near when the accident oc-
cured offered assistance, attended the
lady, procured carriage, took her home,
and resigned her 10 the careof the family
physician. Colonel COckerlll was very CRATE
full. of course and begged to be informed
if any time he could be OF use to the
young physician.
Ii was little later that the physician
applied for q city position, and was be-
wailIng to a friend his lack OF pull
with those controlling the appointment.
"Why don't you write to Colonel Cooke
rill?" asked the friend, who had heard
about the accident.
The doctor did 80, and found at once that
he had the biggest pull of any of the
candidates. Colonel Cockerill was only
too glad 20 say more than one word in his
behalf and
Well, suppose that without doubt the
young doctor got what he was looking for,
but haven't heard yet.
THE ARTISTS AND TIE COMMITTEE.
The revolt of the artists against the
Hanging Committee of the Academy, to
which was the first to call attention, has
come to something more than talk. Alarge
number Of the disconnected. including sew
eral N. AS and two members Of the coun-
Gil, have petitioned for a rehanging OF all
the pictures, something that has never
been done, or even asked for, in New
York.
There is no reason why the pictures
shouldn't be rehung. II is the usual pTac-
tice at the Paris Salon TO rehang about the
middle of the season, giving fresh lot Of
pictures tho benefit of the line. Why Lot
in New York?
