The ranks of naval reserve in Bos-
ton are recruited from the flower of
clubdom and it's members hold them
selves in readiness at du:y's call to
lay aside their dress suits or their
morning clothes for their white duck
suits or tarpaulins and they pride
themselves on their efficiency in hand

Ting the big guns.
During the practice drill On the ar
mored cruisers last summer one of
these amateur boston tars who is
noted for his 'culchaw' and refine
ment. was smoking a friendly pipe
with one Of the Dick Deadeyes of the
regular navy. The conversation
turned naturally to the subject OF the
naval reserve. and after a while the
clubman said:
Now. tell me candidly. which does
the best work, the reserve in Boston
or the one in New York?''

to the Royal Academy picture called
Missing" which attracted great
deal of attention. The Roll Call. -
her most famous work, was first ex-
hibited in 1874, and was purchased by
the queen. The picture gained a popu-
larity for itself and its author that
was almost without precedent in Eng
land. The following year she exhibited
the picture of The Twenty-eighth
Regiment at Quartre-Bras," and again
a year later came "Balaklava." An
other picture, THE Return from Ink
erman, was bought by the Fine Arts
society for eS, 600.
These facts are sufficient to indicate
the standing of the painter and the inn
portance of the picture which the queen
has consented to loan to our EXPOSE
ton. 1t is safe to say that 1t will be a
highly interesting attraction. Battle
scenes and soldier life are always at
tractive TO majority of people, and it
will be refreshing to see some work in
this line that is truthful without the
horror and ghastliness which some
modern artists have CARVED into SINH
lar work, coming dangerously near the
proper boundary lines of art.

JUDGE GRESHAM.

HIS Selection as "a Member Of Mr.. Clsve-
lands Cabinet Causes some Diversity OF
Opinion.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lit is posi-
lively settled that Judge Gresham is to
20 into the cabinet of Mr.. Cleveland.
The declaration that he is surely to be
secretary of state is overstating the
case a little inasmuch as that is not
positively settled, though there is little
doubt of that being the office he Will
fll-the things settled are that he is to
go into the cabinet and that he is to
be regarded as the representative of
the independent allies of the demo-
cratic party. Speaking. of the selection
of Judge Gresham and story current
in a Chicago paper that he had some
thing to do with it, Senator German
said:
Il have not seen Mr.. Cleveland for
six weeks nor has Mr.. Cleveland at any
time honOred me with his confidence in
regard to the selection of secretary of
state nor do 1 expect to be consulted.

me in the Chicago Herald is without
foundation"

Hollands Vast Undertaking.

If the estimates which have been
made of the cost of draining the
Zuyder Zee in Holland and the value
of the land which viii be reclaimed
are correct, 1t Will be a profitable IN
dertaking which has at last been be-
gun after 600 years consideration. 1t
was in the year 1882 that the sea
flooded 100000 acres and destroyed
seTenty-twO villages inhabited by the
Dutch. The dam which Is to be built
to shut out the North sea will extend
from Makum, in Friesland, to the
island of Wieringen. in north Holland.
When it is finished the water will be
pumped into the sea and the world
will be allowed TO look at the thir-
teenth century villages, or what is left
of them. 1t is said that three-fourths
of the reclaimed land will be worth
$500 an acre, which will add $780,
900, 600 to the value of the agricultural
territory of Holland. AS the cost of
building the dam and pumping out the
water will be only sos, 600, 600. there
will be handsome profit in the enter
prise. On this side of the ocean 500
an acre seems TO be a large price for
farming land, but it may be worth that
amount to the Hollanders.-Fire and

who rides past in front of the ranks.
The words quoted from the Art Jour
nal contain not only a criticism but
also description of the scene to which
but little can be added. The picture
tells the story of that murderous war.
The fight with all its suffering and its
glory seems condensed in this scene
where they count, not the dead. but
the living. One cannot help thinking
of the harbarous Russian warfare of
that period with its chain balls and, on
the other hand, of the charge of the
light brigade at Balalllava. which has
been immortalized in poetry and which
forms the subject of another painting
by the same artist, with all its high
courage and patriotism.
The artist, Miss Thompson, now
Lady Butler, was born in 1914, and as
a child evinced decided taste in draw
ing soldiers and horses. She began to
exhibit her work in 1875, when she sent

everything Possible Being Done to Hasten
Its Opening.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The bill to
open the Cherokee outlet as it came
back amended from the senate was by
the report of Peel from the Indian COM
nittee placed on the house calendar
yesterday. The object now is to get it
nto conference as soon as pos
sible. But therein lies the trouble,
it will have to run the gaunt-
let of the house rs it did origin
ally. Peel expects Holman to oppose
it. The rules committee will give the
dill a hearing probably next week. If
Holman's opposition stops short of fill
clustering, Peel says he can get through
with his bill all right Should Holman
filibuster the outcome cannot be fore
told.
AS stated before, it is still Peel's plan
as a last resort to get Platt and Dawes
in the senate to attach the opening bill
on as a part of the Indian appropria-
ton bill which they now have in their
possession A correspondent talked
with Senators PETER and Perkins
about this move and they each
asserted that it would not be done, but
on the other hand Senators Dawes and
Platt and Jones, of Arkansas, say that
it will be done; so does Peel. This last
quartette know their business and it is
reasonable to still hope and expect that
one way or other the outlet will be de-
clared open at this congress.

CHICAGO, Feb 10.-Potatoes will soon
be among the Injuries of life. Tubers
that sold here yesterday at wholesale
for 80 and So cents bushel could not
be touched to-day for less than 81, and
s1.25 is predicted by tomorrow. The
advance is attributed TO the intense
cold and blOckaded condition of the
railways. especially those running to
the northwest Stocks in Chicago have
been steadily decreasing and the dan
ger of shipping potatoes in ears that
are liable TO be blockaded for weeks,
with temperature below zero, have
kept the country dealers from sending
in their goods.

CLEVELANO'S PLANS.
Pledges Which the Democrats Havo to
Fulfill.

Fulfill.
In recently defining his intended
policy the president-elect is reported to
have said:
1.-THE next administration will be a business
mems administration BY that l mean that
business men are 10 have the preference in the
appointments. OF course, the business men
will be democrats. But in making appoint
ments l shall consider the business records of
the applicants. That will have greater weight
with me than the Endorsements of political or
CARNATIONS. l shall appoint successful business
men as heads Of departments, and l shall eX-
pect this policy TO be carried out in all depart
ments of the government"
Mr.. Cleveland cannot in any way
more effectively appeal to the popular
support than by conducting his admin
istration along the lines here marked
ou. Such course would, it is true,
disapp0int the more pronounced parti-
sans, but it would unquestionably com
mand the sympathy of the great bust
ness interests of the country. 1t would
insure integrity, capacity and the ap-
plication of intelligent business methods
to the management of the vast affairs
OF the government
This is essentially a business age.
The problems which veX our states
manship are problems as to CONNER
cal expansion, the utilization of indus
trial forces, the relations and uses of
money the development of unused
physical and material resources. In
the solution of these problems mere
doctrinaiI'es can be of only secondary
service. They can only be satisfac-
torily and effectually determined by
men of affairs who are familiar with
the principles which underlie and gov
ern them-men of experience and prac-
teal intelligence, who have mastered
theories and made actual test of doc
trine. The men in congress to-day
whose counsels are most valuable as to
all the questions now coming to the
front are admittedly those who have
been in touch with the real, living in
terests which these questions affect,
rather than those who have studied
them specifically and at a distance.
Mr.. Cleveland is on the right track.
But he must remember that his admin
istration will not be judged alone, nor
its success mainly determined, by its
business methods. Its policy as a
whole must be in consonance with
sound public opinion. 1t may be ever
so honest and capable in an admins
trstive sense and still be failure. If
it shall in its economic policy antagon-
ize principles and ideas whose mainte-
nance experience has shown to be es-
sential to the best interests of the coun-

misery that has already occurred any
further and is content with the re-
served expression proper to reality.
We can readily conceive of the many
inferior ways in which the same theme
might have been handled. Each wound
might have been turned into an oc.
casion for the display of sentiment,
and the canvas might nave been filled
with a number of pathetic incidents
that are pretty perhaps, but with
out the force OF truth. 1t is the mod
esty and seriousness of Miss Thomp-

To many even of the most enthusi-
astic promoters of the worlds fair 1t Is
a constant source of surprise to see how
the enterprise is growing far beyond
the original plans. The recognition
accorded to it by persons of weight
abroad is especially gratifying to them.
This applies more, perhaps, than any
where else, to the department of fine
arts.
It was admitted quite generally in
the early stages of the undertaking
that while in the industrial and COM
mercial lines the Worlds Columbian
exposition would probably surpass all
that had gone before, it would, of
necessity, lag behind others, and par
ticularly behind the great Paris ex-
position of 1889, in the fine arts ex-
hibit The argument was that the
United States is a young country which
is occupied with building up its ma
terial prosperity and has not yet had
time to devote much of its energies to
those things which go to embelliSh life
and make it enjoyable IN the higher
sense. That it would reach this stage
later on and was. in fact. entering on
it even in our day was, of course, I'M
derstood But. for the time being,
there was no dispute that the stage had
not been reached when it could com
pete with the old world in the matter
of an art exhibit, and that our EXPOSE
ton would suffer by comparison with
the one of 1883 which was held in the
capital of that country which stands
to-day, without question, at the head
of the world of art.
1t is all the more gratifying, in view
of these circumstances. to see that the
fine arts exhibit promises to be among
the best of the entire exposition. In
the first place. there has been built the
