Americans of Royal Descent.

Lady Somerset's remarks in reference to
the American fad for the nobility, reminds
me that Charles III. Browning has pub
lished second edition of his work on
Gam orleans of Royal Descent" in which the
90 pc digrees of the first issue have increased
to 224. Every shade Of royalty from Eg-
bert the Briton to Brian Boru is repre-
sented. James Gordon Bennett finds an
ancestor in Alfred the Great of England
and Bishop Morris, of Philadelphia, counts
from Hugh Capet and Charlemngne. Ac-
cording to this authority, Edward Ill Of
England was Parnell or the Parnells are
descendants of that King, whichever you
choose. The Montgomerys, of Philadel-
phia, are related to Romanus of Constanti-
nople, who reigned in the middle of the
tenth century, and through the Grand
Dukes of Russia to Henry I. of France and
David of Scotland. Somehow or other poor
old Adam has been neglected in this shuttle
How the error took place is unknown, but
1t is certain the Montgomerys, who are, by
the way, very influential people, will have
the matter rectifed in the next edition, if
the author be not conscience stricken in the
meantime.
Singular as 1t may seem, there is in all
the throng mentioned, not one who claims
direct kinship with Queen Elizabeth.

The criticisms of John s. Sargent's por-
trait of ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed BY
statesmen, politicians and common every
day citizens, as published recently in THE
DISPATCH, showed very s.rikingly what
the public does not know about art. The
following is from an article by M. G. Van
Rensselaer, in Fraak Leslie's, and is very in
teresting in the light of the previous pub
ication:
'T think no one who has seen the work
can longer doubt whether Mr.. Sargent is a
great portrait painter. Feeling that this is
the most important fact for the public now
to learn about him, can hardly bring my
self to regret a defect which must be &C.
knowlcdged in the work when it is consid-
cred from the purely pictorial point of view.
1 am not sorry that people should see that
Mr.. Sargent can produce magnificent por-
trait even when he places q ngure very
awkwardly on the canvas. The way in
which he has allowed the frame to cut off
the whole of one of Mr.. Reeds arms and
part of the other would have been fatal had
his power really been that of picture
maker only, anG not Of true portrait
painter. But as it is, we forget the blemish
after the first moment; we hardly think of
pictorial effect, so keen is our interest in the
artists presentation of human individual
ity.
s'No one needs to be told what sort Of 'an
individuality Mr.. Reed possesses, and no
one needs to have seen Mr.. Reed to feel
sure that it is expressed in his countenance,
Just as Mr.. Sargent SAYS Of course do
not suppose that Mr.. Reed always looks so
thoroughly, completely and satisfactorily
himself as he does on this canvas. A man
cents the artists triumph. Because he was
q great portrait painter he saw which was
the most characteristic mood, and was able
to render it. although the task canhot have
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-12-20

been easy. Sometimes we see face which
is all strength or all humor. and such face
is not difficult to paint. But here is one
where force and humor join, and 1t was a
triumph indeed to paint it so that neither
characteristic is emphasized at the expense
of the other.
''It is delightful to study this picture, and
see how vigorous, direct and vivid is the ex-
preston of character, yet how reposeful Is
the general impression, how every feature
thrills with life, mobility and meaning, yet
how digniied and simple is the total effect
of the head Moreover, the work has great
pictorial distinctions quality that is hard
to define, but easy enough to recognize. It
does not lie in the characteristics of the
model, but wholly in the art Of the painter.
Many gentle and beautiful women, many
exquisite children, have been painted so
that they would look out of place in room
where other objects revealed refinement and
good taste. Mr. Reed, with all his impress
iveness and dignity, can hardly be called
distinguished-looking in the sense I now
intend-in the sense of the French term
distingue; but this portrait of him, simple
and faithful though it be, might hang side
by side with the finest gallant Vandyck
ever portrayed, and not look like an in
truder.
Il have heard some of Mr.. Sargent's
brother artists say that, as a pure piece of
painting, this portrait is not so fine as some
of his other works Possibly this is so; but
the brush of a great master may not be
quite at its best and still do mastery work;
and there is mastery work indeed in this
head of Mr.. Reed. However, what 1 most
wish to insist upon is its value as portrait
distinctively so called. This seems to me
so great that excess of praise is impossible
A more living, breathing, .well-character-
lied individual and interesting figure do
not think any modern artist has ever put on
canvas. And 1 think it might be tested by
days and not lose its high claim upon our
admiration."

WRITTEN FOR THE D1sPA1CH.1
1t is Characteristic of this age that evil is
NO longer considered a necessity. The
white search light of the press of this nine
teenth century has made it impossible that
even amid the black shadows that have so
long hidden our city's darker side the world
should continue to ignore the existence of
that misery which hitherto has made the
sum of large proportion of human life.
That such misery had always existed is
beyond dispute, but that civilization-more
widely recognized responsibility-ha only
in small measure as yet grappled with the
difficulties of the situation does not prove
the problem insoluble. There is probably
no subject which requires more patient
study than the relative degrees of poverty
and suffering in our great cities, for
obviously different causes produce different
conditions.
What Fire Did for London.
The broad aspects, however, which pre-
sent themselves to ones mind in consider
ing the corresponding evils of London and
New York are undoubtedly the fact that
the great and crushing misery against which
we are battling in the worlds largest me-
trcpolis, is the slow, hereditary growth of
wears. Since the day when the great fire
did for our city what no other or lesser
means could have accomplished and par
TALLY purified the plague stricken districts
OF London by demolishing dwellings which
were saturated with foul disease, London
has gradually, though spasmodIcally, at
tempted to raise the people from the slough
of squalor which has been the inheritance
of years. Apathy in the past and ignorance
OF sanitary laws have made the process
marvelously slow, but the London of to-
day is in many ways almost miraculously
better (with all the appalling ills that still
exist) than the London of 30 years ago.
As, however, with the human body, so
with that agglomerated mass of life which
we call a city, all chronic slow disease is
more easily subdued than those fercer forms

brought to bear through political channels,
and right there is the turning point with
the farmer. Here he comes upon dangerous
ground. Once he was Supreme in this
country: he constituted 80 per cent of the
population. He was President, law
maker and jurist. Put his ancient preroga-
tives have been wrested from him, his
Legislative halls are filled by men in the
professions, and half the people live in
towns.
''He has dropped out of politics, except
only as machine voter. He merely
registers the edict of the party boss-and
the bosses live in towns with dramshops
among their most potent agencies for
manipulating conventions and carrying
elections Whenever the dramshop is at
tackled, people in town rush to its rescue.
Saloon Power in LesisIatures.
'Tt is doubtful whether ono man
in thousand, living more than
two miles outside city, town or vii
village limits, would institute a lawsuit to
from the town. In Kansas there submission
lists are townspeople. Not B per cent Of
them live on farms. Saloons help the
towns, they say. And now, that the Re-
publican party there finds its power threat
ened by the farmers, its cowardice is getting
the better of its principles, and it is letting
the drink traffic again get hold in some Of
the larger towns-testing the patience and
forbearance of the people. The evil effect
of this cowardly policy is already plainly
visible.
"No one agency, except only money, pure
and simple, is equal to the saloon in its
power to concentrate political energy in
towns. The farmer can expect relief only
= .rl, ha dc
in this direction is just what the powers
are least willing to grant, and they always
find a willing tool in the liquor monopoly.
With the drinking shops out of the way the
farmers road to relief would be shortened
one-half"
OF course, this is not intended to touch
any but the political phase of the subject

Learning by Bitter Experience.

This reminds me of poll parrot who got
in the habit of calling out the name Of his
mistress favorite dog by whistling and say
ing at the same time, "Here, Tige; here,
Tige." The dog was considerably annoyed
by this One day the mistress left the
parrots cage on the floor and the bird
walked out. Seeing the dog it forgot itself
for q moment and began to whistle and call,
"Here, Tige."
In less than q minute there were moro
parrot feathers in the sir than ever had
been seen before in that room. After
while the parrot escaped and began con-
soling itself thus: Il know what's tho
matter with you, Poll, you:talk too much"
