Here you touch me deeply. have been very much afraid that one art. in which the American has done some thing new and original and unattempt- ed before simply because he has not been afraid of risking making a fool of himself-that the art of glass, as the French call it, as it been developed here, will not be adequately repre- sented. As am one of its representa- tives it is rather an effort for me to speak of it as justice demands.
 But, owing simply to what was saying "a certain innocence, a certain willing ness to take risks-there is no doubt that we have accomplished in that one art something which can stand with the best of the rest of the world. Note, of course, that 1t is an inferior Art, but so are some departments of ht- erature that are cultivated with the greatest pains inferior to others. The novel may not strike so high a note as certain older forms, and yet it may be excellent work of it's kind
 Now, in painting, we may do as well as any men living, yet we shall not have equaled Rembrandt, let us say, or Velasquez or Titan. We are not
 
 Phidias in sculpture.
 But in glass the few excellencies we have reached are those that the Flu ropean has long given up striving for. No one over there thinks of rivaling the work of the greatest past in the questions of richness, depth of color, and what might be called orchestra tion; so that their work compared to ours looks weak, timid, even if it be sometimes inoffensive from its lack of power.
 Owing to this practice of art being a new departure hereby new I mean since our last exposition-there has been no proviso for its exhibition. We have acted according to one of the | faults of the American imagination taking for granted that the European has covered all that can be done, and that his classification, when 1t leaves out something, implies that that thing has no possibility of existence. So owing to the fact that the classification of European expositions has not given adequate representation to art in glass because there was no such thing there -or rather, should say, nothing of ii that could not be adequately represent | ed by picture or a drawing, conse quently quite representable by that picture or that drawing-we, initiating their classification, have made no sucl l department.

PRESIDENT woop's IDEAS.

The character of the art exhibit at the Chicago fair is something in which every American artist is deeply in- terested, not because its brilliancy might impress Europe-though we are bound to be influenced by certain con alterations of this kind, and reasonably so-but because of the immediate, healthful and far-reaching influence of the display on American culture.
 It will not do, think, to assume that we will certainly have strong Ameri- can exhibit. The artists of Europe have every reason for making q special effort to make a fine display here. America is the best market for Euro pean painters, and it may be taken for granted that their knowledge of this fact will place the certainty of a great foreign exhibit beyond a doubt.
 To the foreign visi tors we should be able to show a collection of pictures that is distinctively American. And above and beyond all that we should be able to show our own people what the character and prophecies of our native art really are.

MRS. HARRISON NO WORSE.

The Possible Complications Which Keep
 Her Family Anxious.
 WASHINGTON, Sep. 26.-Reports from the White House say that Mrs. Harrison passed somewhat restless night, but is apparently no worse this morning.
 Practically there has been little change in her condition since she came here, and what there is would seem to imply rather favorable symptoms than otherwise So far as can be learned no serious change is anticipated just at present. So long as she take as much nourishment as at pres ent she can withstand the progress of the ordinary advance of the disease. It is the complications likely to arise at any moment that now keep her family anx- ious.
 Disquieting rumors as to Mrs. Harri- sons condition get about every day and at once manifest themselves by the mes sages of inquiry at the White House. Yesterday to all corners the family gave encouraging statements. Dr. Gardner makes an early morning and a late eyen- ing call now. He had reassuring answers to give those who asked about his patient this morning.
 Mrs. Harrison has shown decided craving for food the last two days and has been permitted to eat jul st about anything sho called for. She has had !, also, up to last night, great deal of sleeD.

FOR SLENDER WOMEN.
Why They should Not Have Their Clothes
 Made Too Loose.

Why They Should Not Have Their Clothes
 Made Too Loose.
 The slender woman's greatest mistake Is in having her clothes too loose, be- lieving that in this way she hides the angles. In reality her bodice should be fitted perfectly, padding used if neces- sary, and a reliance placed upon the trimming to give apparent size. The lace epaulettes, either on bodice or wrap, will add to the breadth, and make her look more rounded, while the lace cape has an equally good result. She can wear short coat, double breasted and with f1aring revers of fur or velvet; Indeed, it may be said of her that every thing Impossible to her stout sister is per missible for her. A snugly-fittlng bon net will be found most becoming, and about her throat she can have either a high, stiff collar of white linen, or the full, fluffy fur Nor feather boa. The tailor-made suit in its severity is proper, for good tailor knows how to fit even the plainest dress, so that the wearer, while'slender, has a rounded appear ance and does not suggest that un- pleasant adjective, angular" Remem- suited to you, but that you want rather the soft, clinging stuffs that are at once graceful and in good style. In cQlors choose the warm browns, the brighter blues-although still mean the dark ones. Soft delicate gray will be found particularly becoming, and is in beau iful harmony with gray hair.-- Ladies' Home Journal.

MERIT, NOT SCHOOLS.

In my opinion truly Representative American exhibition of painting might be made exceedingly interesting and in- structive, but such an exhibition should be treated in a true catholic spirit by both committees on selection and by the committee that has charge of ar ranging the exhibits.
 In the first place, the exhibit should commence by showing the advancement of art in this country from the begin ming, selecting the best works of those early portrait painters like Trumbull, Aston, etc., which would by them selves make an interesting collection. Then come the later artists-in figure as well as in landscape-who have dis tinguished themselves in their time, but they should be represented by only their best works. So also with the modern school. And here comes the work for the committee on selection, which should be unbiased and un- prejudiced, and do away entirely with their own feelings in regard to concep- tions of art-whatever that may be- and judge pictures according to their merits, from the standpoint and views of those artists upon whose work they have to decide.
 Here is not the place for preference to the new school or old school, but to judge of the merits which exist in the different ways of treatment and con ception of art. This same spirit should also guide the committee of arrange ments of the art gallery and do away for the time at least, with all sorts ot partisanship and prejudices.
 If not carried out in broad spirit the success of this exhibition will bt doubtful. If carried out in a proper spirit there is no reason why we should not hold our own among other nations who will be represented by theil best work and will do all in theil power to show that work to thu best advantage. Let every artis try to be American in his exhibit anC | we will be successful.

THE ART OF GLASS.

THE AHT OF GLASSs
 have been asked: "Will the art ex- hibits at the fair be given a prominent placer"
 From what I have seen of the ar rangement of the really beautiful build ing to be devoted specially to artistic exhibits should say that they will be most prominently set forth.
 Naturally the question has arisen: els there reason to expect a strong Ameri- can art exhibit?" I should like to say, and say it as distinctly as possible, that the very arrangement of the place and of the buildings, their character, the or der which has presided over them, the whole picture of them, will be the strongest American exhibit of art ever made. Of course we have to suppose that all will be carried out as all has been begun, but in my opin- ion most certainly all European ex- positions, as far as the buildings, as far as the artistic appearance, Is concerned, will have been comparatively barbar- ous. Of course, again, we must suppose that the completed work will be car ried out with the same care all the way through.
 We should certainly have whatever is or whatever has been American repre- sented And each person should take his choice.
 have been asked again: "Is there not danger that too much emphasis will be laid upon painting, to the exclusion of other arts?''

knit these and return with thread from the last six. Remember always to knit the first stitch as above and to draw the threads little tighter on the wrong side.
 When you have thirty-two rows, mar row every fifth stitch for two rows, then every fourth for two rows, then every third, then two, and iu this way taper off for the small end. Draw up the other end into round shape like the blunt end of an ear of corn. Sew the sides up for an inch, top and bottom, or more to fit the handle of your teapot. You may add to its realistic appearance by ringing a couple of inches of pale, yellowish-green ribbon, and attaching 1t to the top for silk. Narrow yellow ish-green ribbon doubled and sewn on at the bottom, as in the illustration, will initiate the tender, inner leaves of the husk. Finish with bow, top and bottom.-Country Gentleman.

TIE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Approaching Meeting of the
 U. s. Supreme Court.
MRS. HARRISON ABOUT THE SAME.

There Seems to Be Little Change in hoI
 From His Post at KieI-Judge Lamar
 Not Stricken With Paralysis.
 WASHINGTON, Sep. 26.-There will be a quorum of the Supreme Court present at its approaching meeting on the 10th of October, although there are now only four of the nine judges in the city-Justices Field, Lamar, Brewer and Brown. Chief Justice Fuller is expected back this week, Judge Gray also, and Justice Harlan will try to get here before the court settles down to serious business, unless he sees before him hopeless prospect of being quarantined.
 Judge Harland himself, according to letters received here, was to have arrived in Paris yesterday, and if he can see his way clear to getting across the ocean without running too much risk of deten- tion, will try and be in Washington so as to ensure 8 full meeting of the court when the important case of the Chicago Lake Front comes up under special as- signment for hearing Oct. IT. Two of the other judges will be disqualified from passing upon this case, which is one of immense importance, involving many millions of dollars.
 The parties in interest are the city of Chicago, the State of Illinois and the Illinois Central Railroad Company, and they are contending for the title to the lake front in Chicago.
 Chief Justice Fuller is excused, because of his having been of counsel in the case before his appointment to the Supreme Court. Justice Blatchford is also dis qualified because he owns stock either in the Illinois Central or some other interest affected by the litigation.
 This case will really be the first busi- ness of importance to come before the court.
 Justice Shiras, appointed to succeed Justice Bradley, deceased, and who has not yet taken the oath of office, has inti- mated that he will appear and do so at | the first meeting of the court.

AMERICAN ART.
A Strong National Exhibit for the
 Worlds Fair.
Results of the Exhibit - An Immediate and Far Reaching Influence Upon American Culture Certain to Fol-

[coPYRIGHT. lso2.l
 As the date for the opening of the worlds fair draws nearer interest in special departments of the exposition becomes keener and preparations take on a more definite and expressive form. Although, perhaps, few very important departments of the show have received less public attention than the art dis play, for the reason that the prepara- tions in this department are peculiarly remote from public observation, the art world is interested as it has seldom be- fore been interested.
 There is the iveliest expectation as to the character of the display in gen. eral. It is known that every country which has made any name in art is bending itself nightly to the task of making great name at Chicago.
 The chief interest of the American painters is, however, centered on the general American display which will test the metal of modern American art. Concerning this general display the fol lowing expressions of opinion have been gathered from prominent eastern artists:

ANTICIPATED RESULTS.

ANTICIPATED RESULTS.
 The direct and most important result of the international display of works of art at the Columbian exhibition will be a pronounced improvement in the future art work of this country, creat- ing healthier ideals of what constitutes real excellence, and so elevating 1t to a higher plane. These educational ad- vantages, presented through exactly similar exhibitions, are the principal value attached to them abroad and are considered well-nigh incalculably ben eficial.
 It may be inferred that the best pictures of the European artlsts will create many imitators for time, like Vollon's pumpkin at Paris, but they will also encourage many not to forsake their own individuality in their work, and much that is tentative and acade- mic now will disappear in consequence.
 A new and broader conception of the work of others besides the French, who are comparatively we'll known here notably those best of painters, the Dutch-will be gained. Several splen- did Germans (scarcely known at all in this country) and number of brilliant Spaniards, Italians, Norwegians and Scotch will doubtless awaken much in- terest and prompt close study. Judg- ing from the immediate past, the French will lead in sculpture rather than in painting.

OUGHT TO DO OUR BEST,

have no means of know ing what has yet been done, but I feel confident of entirely satisfactory results. The choice of Mir. Ives is an excellent one, and will result not only in good gen. eral exhibit properly managed, but in home representation that will be cred itable to the country.
 It will be great mistake if our painters do not do their very best. Sometimes think that European countries understand the necessity for special effort better than we do. France, I know, will make the best showing she possibly can. She is bound to do this, and she wishes to do it. England, understand, is prepar- ing to make her most brilliant effort. have not heard much from Germany, but know that country is not at all likely to let her exhibit fall below the best she can produce.
 And thus with Spain, from which it seems probable that we shall have some of the finest things at the fair. But, de- pend upon it, every nation that has any art will be represented in the art de- partnent in Chicago, and will be rep resented at it's best.
 It DehooVeS us, then, to make Cne American exhibit as strong as we can make it. If anybody can compete with France for the leadership of the world we can in this country. We cannot do this unless our artists will send their very best work.
 am told by those who should know that France is making preparations for the Chicago show on a basis broader than anything that has been done even at the Paris expositions. If what have learned of France and England be true, and if Germany, Spain and other Flu ropean countries operate on anything like the same plane, we are likely, with
 the aid of pure American exhibit, tc
 have at Chicago next year the greates
 art exhibition ever held in any country

REMOVAL. OF CONSUL JOHNSON.

He Was Guilty of Fraudulent Practices as
 Our Representative at Kiel.
 WASHINGTON, Sep. 26.-Edmund john son has been removed from the Consulate at Kiel, Germany, for false representa- tion as to his military services and for fraudulent practices as Consul. The case has been under investigation by Secretary of State Foster for the past month, and definite action has at last been taken.
 MT. Johnson was first appointed to the consular service in 1872, has at various times undergone investigation, and was once removed, but soon afterwards re- entered the service and has maintained his position upon the representation that he was repeatedly wounded, at various battles during the civil war and was there by greatly impaired in health.
 Recent charges as to his accounts and official conduct led to an investigation of his military service, which showed that his army record was bad, that he was not in the service at the time and did not par ticipate in the battles, as alleged, and that the claim made as to his wounds was unfounded.
 He was also found, to be guilty of pre- senting fraudulent accounts as Consul.
