until quite recently he has been too busy
to take the lead in politics.
( He was born in 1851 in Newark, his
present home, obtained his early educa-
ton in the public schools Of the city and
took full college course at Whining
ton, Del Meanwhile his father had
gained good position among the dry
goods merchants of New York, and the
son went into business with him, but
soon discovered that that was not his
proper line and located in Newark as
manufacture of patent and enameled
leather. Today he is sole owner of one
of the largest concerns Of that kind In
existence, and it's products are shipped
to every part Of the world.
In 1883 he ran for councilman in Re
publican ward and received more than
two-thirds of the vote cast. He has since
been rendered nominations for almost
every Office in the city, county and state,
but has declined them all except that OF
president of the Newark board of public
works. lie was selected by the Cleve-
land men of New York as their best
worker in New Jersey, and as such -went
to the Chicago convention to work in
unison with ex-Secretary Whitney Of
New York and Mr.. Harrity of Pennsyl-
vania. During his absence on i business
trip to the west the Democrats of Essex
county almost unanimously nominated
him for senator, and by the time he
reached home it was plain that the state
was for him, and that Ex-Governor Alb
bett was beaten.
The new senator is rather stout in
build, rudy and clean shaven, is very
wealthy and lives in fine mansion in
Newark with lis wife and nine children.
In the charities he is liberal and unos-
tentatious. His friends are enthusiastic
over his future, regarding him rs nat

and rats. he signed the treaty of Client
in February of the same year.
In this room Dolly Madison hung the
portrait of Washington which she had
rescued from the White House before
her hasty fight before the foe. On the
day the British arrived in Washington
Mrs. Madison had issued invitations for
a dinner party. as it was not believed
the enemy would reach the city that
evening. When it was reported that the
invaders had reached Capitol hill, she
collected few personal articles, cut
from its frame the famous Washington
portrait that hung in the east room and
fed, The British troops found fine
dinner awaiting them and proceeded to
do Justice to it. III
The second house in which presidents
have lived is the cottage at the soldiers
home "a miles from the White House. It
is pretty place. and there number Of
presidents have, with their families,
passed the summer season. Buchanan
was the first to use this cottage as sum-
mer resort. and Lincoln, Grant, Hayes
and Arthur have followed his example.
This cottage occupies the highest spot OF
ground in the District of Columbia and
affords an excellent view of the Capital
City.
The fourth house to be mentioned in
this connection is the now famous Red
Top, the pretty villa which Mr.. Cleye-
land occupied during his first term and
which is now the center of fourishing

fought the Romans under Varus in the
forest of Teutoburg in the ninth year OF
the Christian era down to the period OF
the renaissance; there will be German
cooking of the best kind, and in the en-
tire department German will be the Ian
guage spoken.
The plan of the village was devised by
DR.. Ulrich jain of Berlin, and the banks
of that city organized company, with
capital Of 81 zoo, 900, to carry it out. Of
that company G. B. Schmidt. formerly
immigration commissioner Of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe road, is man
ager. All the tinbers were prepared In
Germany and shipped to Chicago ready
to go into the various buildings, and 23
German workmen were sent to this
country to put the buildings mp. Other
workmen were employed, but the prin-
cipal labor at the fair grounds is being
done by the German laborers.
The greatest attraction is the castle,
now nearly completed, which is in the
style Of the fifteenth century and is
called the Wasserburg in allusion to the
moat around it. But the attraction to
most people will be the music, which
will probably surpass any German music
heretofore rendered in America. Two
concerts will be given daily, and for this
purpose two bands have been organized
in Germany. The members of these
bands are all men who have been in the
military service as musicians, and they
will wear the regulation military uni
form. One band of 48 pieces will be
uniformed as regiment of guards on
foot and will be led by Eduard Rusche-
weyh, who was royal Prussian musical
director, and until 1885 band leader Of
the Third Grenadier regiment of the
guard Queen Elizabeth), and since then
director Of the Tivoh concerts at Berlin.
This eminent musician began his ca
reer in 1868, and of the many decorations
he is entitled to wear several were con-
ferred for bravery in battle. He saw
hard service at the head of his regiment
band during the campaigns of 1866
against the Austrians and in 1870 and
1871 in France, where he participated in
the battles of st. Priyat, Sedan, LIE
Bourget and others. The Iron cross was
conferred upon him for heroic conduct
at the storning of LIE Bourget.

Mr. Cleveland is always doing some
thing that surprises the people, and this
is one of the least expected of his deci-
sions. It is decided novelty to have
president come to Washington and live
in any place but the executive mansion
or the presidents house., as they used
to call it, Never before in the history Of
the government has a president done
such thing and the good people Of the
capital are unable to understand it. The
truth is. they don't approve it. But Mr..
Cleveland has way of doing what he
likes without much regard to criticism.
OF course Mr.. Cleveland may change
mis- mind and conclude. after all. to in
stall his household gods in the mansion
provided for them by the government.
But he has been negotiating for lease

probable that this mansion. already

public that 1t was found necessary to
rope off the sidewalk in front OF the For
ter house and to station policemen there
to see that the crowd kept itself at re-
spectful distance.
Notwithstanding these precautions the
prince and his retinue made their way
with some difficulty from their carriage
to the house. The crowd cheered him,
and he lifted his hat in acknowledgment
of the compliment, none of which ii
very important save in the eyes of the
chappies, who still have apartments in
the vicinity of the house where Fl. R. Ell

Another house which Mr.. Cleveland
has taken look at is known as the Bar

north of the executive mansion. 1t is 8

by spacious grounds. Barring the dis

bay, and one pardonS certain crudeness
in drawing and a certain effectism noted
throughout Keith's work, when the general
tone and naturalness of the scene are
taken into account.
Keith's "Diabio" is a fine piece of Cali
fornia landscape. less in the line of i'm
pressionism than is the spring study or
the Oaks" but remarkably true in line
and color.
The antithesis of the Keith treatment is
seen IN the fine WORK of Arthur f. Mat
thews. Keith's work is hurried, sketchy,
and though strong it is unfinished, and
| leaves sense of crudeness and rawness in
the mind. Matthews exhibits several
works. and all Of them show the most care
ful study. His treatment is broad, but it
is not the breadth Of the impressionist who
contents himself with few scratches and
splashes and thinks he has done his sub
ject justice.
In The Picnic at El Campo" one sees
the work OF man in the subjective-one
who has been on the ground and staid there
long enough to know what he was paint
ing. The figures of the picnickers. and
particularly the faces, are seen at once to
be separate studies. Each face means
something and expresses something. They
are all local and individual 1t is this
localIsm of Matthews that shows as much
as anything his grasp of a subject. Though
trivial things are seen in the picture there
are no non-essentials. The common
place abounds, but there is nothing of
the absolutely vulgar. such rs is seen
In the work of many realists. One
does not understand the blue-gray tone of
the painting until one is told that the
