is an alias. When he came to this coun-
try in 1854, q penniless enigrant from
Germany, he was called Heinrich He'll

and graduated from the gymnasium of
his native town the year before he emf

Having some literary ability, he COM

journalism for some years, up to 1874, in
fact, when he branched out as a finan-
cier. In that year he was sent out from
Germany, where he had been reporting
the Franco-German war, by a committee
of German bondholders of the Kansas
Pacific railroad, which had defaulted on
its interest. He was finally appointed re-
ceiver of the road, and this appointment
may be said to have given him his start
as financial skyrocket.
AS early as 1869 he had conceived a
scheme for the consolidation of various
steamship and railroad interests on the
Pacific coast, but it was not till 1879
that he found himself strong enough to
carry it out. Then he gained control of
the Oregon Steam Navigation company
and the Oregon Steamship company and
combined their interests under one man.

Northern Pacific, and the story of his
quick achievement of colossal fortune
was like one of the stories of the Ara

the world knows, for his downfall was a
repetition of the tale of the rocket and
the stick.
But his acute discernment and indom
table energy were not to be thus dis
posed of forever, and after brief period
he once more blazed across the financial
sky in full ascendancy-a successful fin

The number of French pictures among
these private collections no doubt accounts
In great measure for the influence of the
French schools upon American art for

lean art, despite rabid assertions to the con-
trary), an influence sufficiently shown forth
upon the IS, 900 feet of wall space reserved
for works of American artists, even if it
were not more loudly proclaimed in the
statuary and sculptured mural decorations
upon the various departmental buildings
of the fair ard about the grounds.
Considerable criticism of these same dec
orations by persons unaccustomed to view
ing representations in marble and oil OF
the undraped human form has been evoked,
and they have been designated 'Frenchy"
with sneer that Classics them at once
with immoral pictures. How unjust this
Is only a refined artistic taste can estimate,
and to such taste the suggestions CON
veyed are enUirely those of nobility,
strength, grace and beauty and have moth

These prudish critics need education sad
ly and will never have a better opportunity
for it than right here at the Worlds fair.
They need to learn first of all that what
Is called 1.-THE nude in art" is a means to an
end and not, as they seem to suppose, an
end in itself. Perhaps this truth will be
borne in upon them when they contemplate
some of the masterpieces upon Scriptural
and devotional subjects in the French col
lection and perceive the fidelity to inspira-
ton which is the ruling spirit of French
art work, as it should be Of all art.
But, liberal as is the space assigned to
France in the Art building, 1t does not con-
tain a 1.-THE of the forms in which French
art manifests itself Every part of the ex-
position In which Frenchmen have secured
room bears witness to this, but none per
haps so eloquently as the section Of the
Manufactures building devoted to French
ceramics and tapestries. Treasures In
Sevres porcelains and Beauvais and Gobe-
lin tapestries are to be seen there that have
never before been sent from the factories
and have only been exhibited there to a
favored few.
Strange, isn't it, that China should still
be the only country to seriously dispute
the supremacy of France in the manufac-
ture of porcelain The Mongols have sent
some of their finest specimens, but the
chances are that nine out of ten OF the Wis

chiefly because of the peculiar architecture
and decorations of their combined teahouse,

concerning the military organization Of
that country, but there were not wanting
those who construed the order as practi-
cally a measure of censure.
1t may have been the spreading of this
sentiment among the people that caused
the ovations which the general received
on his arrival at Marseilles and Paris re-
Gently, or it may have been that the

new center around which to rally. Ger
tain it is that the League of Patriots,
who are the organized representatives Of
that party, had a prominent part in tho

far as to placard the walls of Marseilles

cluded with these words, General, do
your duty, and if parliamentarians re-

was born in st. Louis, Senegambia, in
1912 and was educated at the French
military school Of st. Cyr, where he
graduated in 1864 with the rank Of sec
ond lieutenant of naval infantry. He
was promoted to first lieutenancy in
1867 and to captaincy in 1869. AT Sc

escaped and rejoined the army. He
fought through the Franco-German war,
the conflict with the commune and the
campaign in Tonquin, coming out of all
| of them unscathed.
He has been in the service in Africa
since 1871, except during the Tonquin
campaign, and was made major there
in 1879, lieutenant colonel in 1888 and
a colonel in 1887. He was commandant
at st. Louis in 1890 when Colonel Terri

King Behanzin and was made com
mander in chief of the expedition in 1892,
on the successful conclusion of which he
was promoted TO be general and made
an officer in the Legion of Honor.

The new building will be erected on
the site of the present structures, which
cover 40 city lots, and will be in three
sections One of these sections will have
frontage of 80 feet on Third avenue
and wings extending to Sixty-third and
Sixty-fourth streets This will be called
Administration building and will con-
tain the library and offices of the in
stitute, besides three large assembly
halls and a large number of lodgerooms
for renting. The first floor will give
entrance from Third avenue to the ex-
hibition hall, and in the basement will
be a model kitchen. The front will be
of notified Flemish brick, with antique
iron and terra Gotta ornaments.
The Administration building is to be
100 feet deep, and TO the rear of it will
be the great exhibition hall, 304 by 200
feet in size, and back of that will be Ma
chinery hall, l57 by 200 feet, making the
mean depth Of the structure 6l0 feet.
There will be an extensive gallery at each
end of the exhibition hall, and the roof,
mainly of glass, will be supported by
steel trusses.
The main entrance on Third avenue
will have five Roman arches, supported
on Doric columns, and there will be an
other grand entrance at the Second ave

exits at the sides. The far next fall will
have to be carried on elsewhere, as the

It is a comparatively easy matter for a
visitor to find his way into the galleries of
the great art palace at Jackson park and
to succeed in locating the exhibits of the
different nations afterward, but if he has
anything more than passing interest in
pretty things he will find it very difficult to
leave, for opportunities are there presented
for art study such as have never before been
afforded.
Not all the best pictures in the world are

Of merit that we're offered accepted. Space
would not permit of the acceptance of even
half Of those that were up to the standards
set by the judges who had the matter in
charge, but enough of the greatest and best
are shown to make up such collection as
the world never saw before and to afford
opportunities for comparative study that
will be of inestimable value to those who
are able to take advantage Of them and to
the progress of art in general.
The plan Of arrangement is admirably
simple and convenient The galleries as
hgned to each nation are grouped together
no far as possible, and the works of none
but representative national artists are adj
mitted to the walls. The French exhibit Is
far and away the best and has the best as
hgnment of space after the United States,
the entire east annex of the Art palace
having been allotted to France with the
exception of three rooms in the western
end reserved for the display of foreign mas
terpieces from private American collections.

doubtful if it ever did better thing for

than when it decided to supplant the

That is to say that the Democrat
ic party of Ohio must declare that
they are in favor of perpetuating
the fraud of 1873, which by its eff
fects almost ruined our business
and agricultural interests for the
benefit of the ShylOcks of London
and New York.
"Free Silver" only signifies a re-
stOration of the measure of value
used in this country from the
formation of the Constitution un-
til the act of 1873.
President Cleveland is no auto
crat and the demands of the peO-
pie for the restoration OF the white
metal to its ancient place under
the constitution cannot be degrad-
ed by calling it ''Pefferism.n

Of local Indebtedness, has taken a
position still farther advanced in
this matter. Immense burdens
have been fastened upon the peO-
pie Of Cincinnati and Of fother cities
burdens not only of higher tax
alton but of street railway privi-
leges that relieve monopoly of the

The rights of taxpayers and of the
people in general have been Who'll
ly ignored in Columbus, in state as
well as in local affairs. The ap-
preparations are largely in excess
of estimated revenues. In short,
the present session has been simply
a wild scramble for selfish objects.
The legislative motto is: ave are
running this thing by ourselves
and for ourselves, and let the devil
take the hindmost." To all this
we can only say, "ToO true, alas,
too true"
On ono point only can exception
be taken to the statements of our
Republican contemporary. 1t says:
"The SEVENTEEN general assembly
seems to have exhausted its entire
stock of selfrespect when it elected
Mr.. Sherman to the senate" The
implication that it had any self
respect left when that election
took place is entirely unwarranted.
If the majority started in with any
stock of decency and selfrespect it
was entirely dissipated during the
disgraceful fight for the senatorial
nomination. Having got down in
to the mud at the beginning of the
the legislative term they no longer
had any pride in keeping clean.
