MRS. ALICE B. BARNARD. must be included
Mrs. Alice BARLEY Barnard, who has
lately produced some dining room pieces,
SO called, of extraordinary merit.
Mrs. Barnard is the daughter of ex-
Governor Bartley Of Ohio and niece Of
General Sherman. During the Grant
administration she was social favorite
in Washington, and she has since studied
one year in Brussels under the celebrated
Capionic and four years i'll Paris under
the best still life masters of the day. All
her productions yet put on exhibition
are in still life, and she has made no at
tempt to follow the lead Of Rosa Bon
heur. Her mother was not only possess
ed Of great artistic talent, but was witty
and intellectual, quite up to the stand
ard of her family, the Shermans. She
was the sister of the general and senator.
Mrs. Barnard has been visiting in Col
orado, but will soon open studio in
New York, where her best productions
are now on view. One Of these repre-
sents a basket of pomegranates spilled
upon straw. the other a cut of rare beef
fanked by vegetables and bottles of
wine. The subjects are SO simple and
commonplace that they scarcely seem
fit material for art, but the rich delicacy
of the coloring, the boldness of touch
and solidity Of the painting make them
remarkable. Simple subject as piece
of beef may seem, very few painters can
present it with a combination of beauty
and faithfulness.
It is in still life, too, that the feminine
quality of any artistic work is most read
lily detected, as the action of living things
tends to obscure the peculiarities of sex.
Mrs. Barnard is not only vigorous as
painter, but in social life as we'll, and is
charming woman, and her personality
seems to shine i'll some of her productions.

"PLAlN BILLY" M'ADOO.
The Ex-Congressman From New Jersey t,
Assist the Naval Secretary

The Ex-Congresslnan From New Jersey to
Assist the Naval Secretary.
William McAdoo, who has been ap-
pointed assistant secretary Of the navy
by President Cleveland, has very inter
esting history. He is a native of Ireland
and was educated in Jersey City, where
his parents located on their arrival in
this country while he was very young.
He studied law with ex-Congressman
Scudder and was admitted to the New
Jersey bar in 1874. He was counsel to
the Hudson county board Of health for
many years and served one term in the
New Jersey legislature. He was elected
to the Forty-eighth congress in 1882,
when he was only 30 years old, and re-
elected to the Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and
Fifty-frst congresses, but was defeated
for another denomination by Congress
man Mcdonald.
In congress Mr.. McAdoo achieved an
enviable reputation as all orator and
ready debater, and the knowledge and
experience he gained as member of the
house committee on naval affairs should
be of especial value to himself and the
navy department in his new position.
He is a man Of somewhat peculiar ideas
and once introduced in the house a bill
for the abolition OF diplomatic ministries
to foreign countries, claiming that our
consuls abroad could conduct the bust
ness of our foreign intercourse quite as
efectually as ministers. and that the
latter were unnecessary and even injuri-
GUS to the republic. He has also ex-
pressed, through the mediumship of a
magazine article, some ideas on the sub
ject of reform in the methods of proce-
dure in the house of representatives, ad-
vising, among other things, the removal
of members desks from the floor and the
compulsory recognition Of members by
the speaker in the order of their rising
in debate.
Mr.. McAdoo is a handsome, black eyed
man, with dark hair and mustache, slen-
der in build and not above the average
height. He was very popular among
the voters l., hia old district, and it was
said that his nickname of ''Plain Billy"
became the watchword of his first cam
paign and carried him into Office by a
big majority. When he first took his
seat, it was said that he was the young
est man who ever sat in the house of
representatives up to that time. After
his defeat by Congressman Mcdonald
Mr.. McAdoo was admitted to the bar in
New York city, where he has since prac-
ticed his profession and resided. There
was considerable talk at the time of his
removal to the metropolis about his hav-
ing d desire to represent New York
district in the house, but nothing ever
came Of it,

CARTER H. HARRISON,

He was born in Fayette county, KY,
Feb. %, 1895; was graduated from Y ale
college in 1876 and from the Lexington
tky.) law SCllou1 ill 1850, having u1estu-
while traveled extensively in Europe; To-
Gated in Chicago in 1855, was elected to
congress in 1874 and became mayor the
first time i'll 1879. Reelected in 1881 and
1888 by greatly increased majorities, he
was thought the man to beat Rich
ard j. Oglesby for governor i'll 1884, but
failed on it. His popularity suffered
greatly thereafter, for though again elect
ed mayor in 1885 his majority was but
200, and i'll 1881 he was beaten for the
nomination.
He was not used to defeat and lost his
temper. Ec reorganized his supporters
and ran as an independent candidate
against Major De Witt G. Cregier, whom
the Democrats had nominated for re-
election. The result was that Hemp
stead WashLurne. Republican, was elect
ed. The further result was bitterness
and faction in the party. Now Mr.. Har-
rison is the regular Democratic candidate
again, and hlr Crcgier, Washington Hes
ing and all their followers have bolted.
This Of itself would trouble Mr.. Harri-
son very little, but organized labor seems
to have bolted too and SO the fight will
be desperate. The prize is well worth
contest-the nayoralty of Chicago in this
Columbian exposition year.
Samuel Waters Allerton, on whom the
anti-Harrisonians have united, is e1l-
phatically a Chicagoan. He has done
much to make the city, and the city in
turn has made hin-a millionaire. He
was born May 26, 1929, at Armenia,
Dutchess county, N Y, being of noted
Revolutionary family and descendant
of that Isaac Allerton who was one of
the pilgrims in the Mayhower He
gained but a scanty education, worked
on the farm till maturity, then engaged
i'll farming and stock raising with such
success that in four years he had laid by
a surplus of So, 800 in cash.
In 1856 he went to Chicago in the cat
tie trade. In 1860 he married, and in
1866, in conjunction with John B. Sher-
man, he established the Union stock
yards. These now rank among the WON
ders Of the world, and MI. Allerton is
pre-eminently a stockyard king. His sim
terests in the yards Of Pittsburg, Jersey
City and elsewhere are great, but Chicago
is the scene Of his greatest operations.
His success in dealing with organized
labor, especially his conciliatory action
during the strikes, made him the favor
ite among the laborers in the convention.
Politically he is a Republican.

IF We Only Could.

If we all had our lives to live over again-
Hal ha! if we had, but we haven't, you know
We'd all be such wonderful women and men
That life would be robbed of its worry and
woe.
AS a matter of course the dull things we have
done,
Could we try once more, we would carefully
shun;
The skies would be bright to each sorrowing
one
If we all had our lives to live over again.
If we all had our lives to live over again
Ha!ha if we had, but we haven't, you know
We'd make it a vision of happiness then,
And fate would her kindliest favors bestow
If we could only run this fair, strange, myth
ical race
At some other time and in some other placel
Oh, couldn't we make earth a lovable place
If we all had our lives to live over again?
If we all had our lives to live over again
Ha!ha! il we had, but we haven't, you know
We'd carefully study the why and the when,
And make a friend where we now have
foe.
But the edcts of nature we cannot reverse;
"Tis folly vain wishes to sadly rehearse,
And-we might make existence a thousand
times worse
If we all had our lives to live over again.

fesSOr Samuel PROFESSOR LANGLEY.
Pierpont Langley, who has devoted many
years Of study to the subject. So there
really is some ground for hope of its sue
cess.
The general plan is that Indicated by
Roger Bacon, who in the thirteenth CEN
tury wrote this: "There may be some
flying instrument SO made that man
sitting in the middle Of it and turning
crank to put i'll motion some artificial
fly" In truth, however, the man in
Professor Langley's plan is only to di-
rect the motor force, which is very vol
atile hydrocarbon, and the method of
preparing it is as yet a secret. The
whole machine, says the professor,
weighs but 40 pounds as the strong ribs
and beams are made of a fine alloy of
aluminium and steel, and thefour boilers
are of very finely hammered copper and
weigh but seven pounds each.
The name of the inventor, however.
carries more weight than any possible
description Of the machine or demonstra-
tion Of its practicability. Professor
Langley was born Aug. 90, 1884, in Rox-
1866 as assistant in the Harvard observa-
tory. He was soon called to the chair of
mathematics in the United States Naval
academy at Annapolis, and in 1877 was
appointed assistant secretary of the
Smithsonian institution. On the death
of Professor Baird he became full score
tary.
Professor Langley's work as assistant
and recorder during total eclipses is we'll
known to the reading public, and his sci
entific papers are numerous and highly
regarded. He has made many expert
nlents looking toward practical flying
machine, and has succeeded in making
few models which would rise in the air
and continue to float as long as the mo-
tive power lasted The great difficulty
OF course, has been to secure materials
continuing strength and lightness, and
this he thinks he has accomplished in the
alloy of steel and aluminium. AS model
for his machine he has taken the body
of the mackerel, and for the wings the
revolving fans Of china silk. All we now
wait for is the practical test.

JINANJ1 j. MODI.
BISHOP PARTERIA.
Fl. DHARMAPALA,

At first view the assembling Of such
body, and still more its peaceful and Or
derly session, would seem attended with
insurmountable difficulties. The labor
Of even convening all Christians called
by one denominational name-as all
Methodists, all Baptists, or the like-is
immense. That Of convening all Protes-
tants in one representative body has
seemed beyond attainment, and that Of
uniting all Christians, whether Greek,
Catholic or other, in one de1iberative body
has been so great that it has never
been attempted and has been but doubt
fully suggested But in the great Chi
cago conference will sit intelligent and
authorized representatives of all who be-
lieve in a God and have formulated a
faith-Jew, Parsee and Mohammedan,
Brahmin, Buddhist and Christian.
Following the classification of Rev.
i Esesman s q 4 a'larlxea most writers
10 great religions, but as the Coptic,
Armenian and many more are mere eth
mic sects-that is. sects composed of dis
tinct races rather than distinct faiths
the really great and distinct religions
may best be classed as six, and, accord
ing to late and very careful estimates by
the French academy and American Sta
tistical association, the estimates brought
down to 1899, they rank in numbers as
follows: Christians, 477,0sS, ,000 Con-
fucianis1n and worship of ancestors, $780,
100000; Hindooism, 100 ,000, 900; Moham-
mechanism, 176, 1874, 900; Buddhism, l48.-
000,000; Judaism, 100000.
OF course the SO called polytheists, or
gross idolaters Gf there really is such
being as AN idol worshiper), the Fetch
lists. Voodooists, or snake worshipers
and other degraded classes are omitted,
though they number at least 100000, ,000
The Parsees are also omitted, but as l
think, wrongfully, as they have most
distinct and clearly outlined and very
philosophical faith and are people of
very high character and intelligence.
They number, however, less than 100000
and are considered but a remnant of the
ancient Persians-therefore ethnic in re-
igion. 1t is question also if the Shin
toists, numbering at least ID, ,000,0 900, and
the Taouists, numbering 100000, as
we'll as all the Confucianists, should not
be added to the class labeled Buddhism,
giving it about 460, 100000 and making
itperhaps the leading division. However,
any classification is open to criticism.
AS the world now is the Christians,
nominal and real, though less than
third of the human race, comprise an
immense moiety of the material power
and intelligence, but if any man has an
idea that the other faiths will not be de-
Tended by men of extraordinary ability

Candidates-Nainor Factions
Chicago politics is always picturesque
This year it is simply lurid. Fifty stal>
wart policemen on the floor of one con-
vention, 800 delegates bowling like luna
tics and swearing in 13 different Ian
guages, Washington Hesing addressing
the roaring mass in pantonlime, as it
were, and Carter Harrison smiling grimly
on his discounted rival-suc14 was one,
only one, Of the lurid scenes. The So
cialists and some other factions have can
didates, but few pay any attention to
them. The fight is between Carter Harri-
son and Samuel Waters Allerton, the
latter nominated by the independent and
labor men and Endorsed by the Repub-
Hcans.
In all the world there is not such an
other field for political chicanery, Chica-
go being now the most variegated in
race Of any city i'll the world, unless
Bombay may be its equal. Only 80 per
cent of lis vast population is strictly ma
tive; 900, 600 of its people are either for
eign born or the children Of foreign
born. Twenty-four distinct nationalities
are represented and about 40 languages
and dialects are spoken. It is said that
there is not a secretary in the city who
can read the list OF a full convention and
pronounce every name correctly. And
of this tumultuous mass Carter Harrison
was long a leader aud was four times

At first view it seemed to some timid
souls that in such a conference there was
an unwise concession, as though Chris
tianity thus consented to have it's claims
weighed on an equality with those Of
the heathen. The best refutation of this
view is found in the fact that mission
aries in all heathen lands are most eager
for the conference and full of confidence
that their work will be advanced by
comparison and discussion. President
George Washburne. D. D., of Roberts
college, Constantinople, Bishop Parteria
of Sophia, Servia, and in fact all II .
leading Christian Protestant workers in
the eastern countries urge this view
with great force. 1t must be admitted,
too, that all the other sects or denomina-
tions or great religions are represented
by men equally confident, and the prob
abilities are that all will be somewhat
astonished, finding, too, that they agree
in many more things than they differ.
OF all the great political movements
Of modern times the British conquest Of
India had the most iberalizing effect on
the western mind. The two great
branches Of the Aryan race, separated
nearly 1000 years ago, were suddenly
brought into the most intimate relations,
and each learned with astonishlnent of
the long and devious road the other had
toiled over in it's search for the unknown
God. AS the Aryans of the west had
abandoned the classic and the Teutonic
mythologies for the pure monotheism of
the Jews, so the Aryans of the east, or
the more intellectual part Of them, had
adopted sort Of modified monotheism
from other races. The great literature
of the Sanslxrit tongue was opened to the
west, and now, SO far as merely human
wisdom can judge, there seems an even
chance that India will modify the belief
