A Mala Model.

1t is quite common thing to read about
Eomen acting as models for sculptors and
,ainters In fact novelists harp upon the
idea and invariably make the heroine the
victim of some long haired genius who
wears a velvet coat and sketches with light
ninglike rapidity. But who ever heard of
a man posing for such purpose' There is
no doubt that they do pose, and that some
of them are as vain as peacocks, but fiction
writers don't take to the idea much. Never,
theless there is man in this town. and
what is more, a very modest man. who has
had his picture in an art studio and had
the lines of lis stalwart figure carefully
studied by sculptor's prcticed eye.
That man is Captain Edward J. Bosher,
former commandant of the Richmond
howitzer. and, what is more, the sculptor
who used the photographs of his physique
WAS Sir Moses Ezekiel, Virginian, who
has achieved much celebrity in Rome

She was only servant,
And for weary years,
Had known trouble, toll and care.
1t had bent the straight form,
And wrinkled the cheeks,
And sprinkled with gray the brown hair.
She had seen better days
But that time had passed,
And now In declining years,
There was only toll, the livelong day.
And the thought often brought to her tears.
AS she talked of a little vine covered cot,
Which she entered first as bride
Where him, who of all she held dear on cart
O1e day sickened and died.
And then came the thought
The bitter thought,
She must face the cold world all alone.
And find as others before have done.
Some hearts are colder than stone.
Though she's only a Servant,
Old and Gray,
We know her heart Is young.
AS she patiently waits, from day TO day,
From dawn I'll! setting sum-
For the summons.
Which soon viii call her home,
To that beautiful haven of rest.
Where only the pure of heart, such as she,

JOHN M'GOVERN.
New Works Growth Estimated by Andrew
II. Green.

tFrom Our New York Correspondent
1.-THE greatest city in America and the
greatest city in the world in the Twentieth
century will he that comprised in the metz
|ropolitan district of New York" That is the
prophecy of Andrew H. Green who has for
thirty years given exhaustive study to this
subject. Mr.. Green is one of the executors
of the will of Samuel j. Tilden, and his re-
markable business capacity and sound
Judgment as well as other qualities made
him one of the most intimate of the few in
innate friends of that great man.
Mr.. Green believes that Chicago is to be
the most gigantic Of the internal cities of
the United States, numbering in it's popu-
lation in the next century perhaps almost
as many as Paris now has. But the New
York of 1893 will have, he estimates, more
than 100000 people.
Early in the next century the consolida-
ton of all that section which is now COM
prised in the metropolitan district under
one municipality will, / think, have been
accomplished This will then bring more
than 10000 people under one municipal
government. and when we remember that
in this district 100 years ago less than $4,000
people lived it is fair to infer from the nat
ural law growth that more than 100000
will be in this district 100 years hence, all
under one local government.
at is to be the finest municipal develop
ment the world has ever seen. / expect
that some of the problems that now face
municipalities will have been solved by
this grand congregation Of citizens. The
finest churches, the most beautiful archi-
lecture, the most exquisite parks, the most
beautiful drives, will give comfort and de-
light to the people who live in this COM
munity in the next century. There are to
be reforms of municipal administration
and do not say that the New York of the
next century is going to be ideally perfect,
but do say that it passes the comprehen-
sion of men now living to conceive the maj
esty of this great city as it will be in the
next century"

Her hats are broad, are high, are fat,
straight or wrinkled, at her own sweet will,
or she will wear a bonnet so pert, so deli
cate or brilliant that hats Immediately
seem tame and common beside hers. Her
parasol today is a flmy mass of spider
webbing. Tomorrow it is as English as Pic
cadilly. Her feet? All, there are none like
hers! They are arched, they are tiny, they
are elastic, and they are shod in such q
manner as to keep up her reputation for
lightning changes. In the morning they are
incased in mites of red slippers with tassels
on the toes. An hour later they are buttoned
snugly in boots that look as if they grew
there. Another hour will find them in san.
dals for the sea, and these give place to ten
mis- shoes, and they in turn are succeeded by
the daintiest Oxford or Newport ties over
silken hose. These are so pretty that a
Newport girl, a hammock or an easy chair
and a pair of them car conquer even a stolid
Englishman in five minutes.
Then come those fairy creations, the sat
in, silk or golden slippers that twinkle in
the dance.
With all her luxury the Newport girl
realizes that print zephyrs and muslin
frocks are the incest and most satisfactory
for summer. They are so crisply clean and
smell SO fresh as they come from the clothes
press and they give a girl an appearance of
such exquisite neatness that it is no won
der they are so liked.
These muslins are printed in new pat
terms perfect In their design and coloring
and with q finish heretofore accorded but
to silk. The daintiest of them have floral
patterns over cream, pale lemon, rose, pink,
lilac, baby blue and sage green, also bis.
cult, mode and TAM. The ann of max
ing these is not arbitrary. Each one can
put something OF her own taste and fancy
into her "caliker gowns" but the trimmer
and palmer the make at first the better
they will look at the last. Lace of the more
durable sort makes suitable garniture,
the ever ready ribbons add their color
and grace at will.

big guns on the model of his revolver. In
fact, it was q regular Colt revolver on .
2-ton scale. 1t held six shots and there
was machinery to turn the barrel around.
But Colonel Colt forgot one very import
ant feature of the art of gunnery. He
overlooked the fact that his cartridges
were discharged by the explosion Of fulmi-
nate of mercury, which could not we'll

thing else. This is of magenta surah, and
so are the balloon sleeves, which have All
odd fancy In deep white linen cuffs. And
with this essentially feminine gown there
is a mannish collar and tie.
Or perhaps she wears a white gown all
lace and ribbon and silver braid. You can
never tell what a Newport girl is going to
wear, and that is why she is so very fasci-
mating. You are always on the qui vive to
know what's to be next. She may come in
with a frock of biscuit crepon and sage
green silk. The silk would form the under
skirt and waist and sleeves, too, while the
biscuit crepon would be employed only for
the overskirt, bordered with deep cluny
lace, headed with a row Of pearl beads. The
corsage would be made with a braiding of
green silk soutache, the top edged with
pearl beads. and at the neck a frill Of lace
and a collar edged with the same pearl
beads, a veritable undine.
Now, you would know that a Newport
girl would never think Of putting on one of
these gowns for coaching, for the carriage
or the promenade, and that they are essen
TALLY house gowns; but, on the other hand,
you need not be at all surprised to find that
one or the other has put on a big hat, taken
aparasol, all n smother Of lace and dainty
delicacy, and thrown bit Of a a shawl
Of Grape or a lace scarf around her shoulders
and driven off to subjugate new victims.
That is the way of a Newport girl. One
night she will appear at a hop in a simple
null gown without ornamentation of any
kind, scarcely as much as a frill of lace at
the throat. Her sweet simplicity is the
rage, and the other girls declare to them
selves that they will follow her lead. They
do and find her habited in the richest and
stateliest gown that her age will permit,
and she queens it over them all. Verify
the plague OF the fly resteth not upon the
daughter Of Newport.
One day she will have her daintily gloved
hands occupied holding her purse and para
sol and has o to give her friends. The
next day all her belongings hang over her
arm in an old fashioned reticule. and the
next they will hang in a medieval bag by
her side.
One day she is a billow Of lace and float
ing ribbons. The next, or maybe il an hour.
she is the trimmest and most precise of
tailor maidens. Take her all in all, she is
like Cleopatra-a woman of infinite variety.

ridges exploded, too; and the result was
four dead men and dozen n the hospital.
That gun was wrecked, but its mate is on
exhibition here.
In the Government building you may
see as fine a gun as any one should want
to shoot. 1t is a Pinch rife. and weighs
80 tons. It is not quite as large as the
krupp gun, and has not that monsters
effectiveness at long range, but it is a
more practical gun. Uncle Sam had his
plans prepared for the manufacture of a
large number of these Pinch guns, and a
smaller number of 15-inch guns, to weigh
40 tons each. I understand the latter
have been abandoned, and that the 12-inch
rifle is the largest ordnance our govern.
ment will make. This gun fires a projec-
tile weighing 1,100 pounds, and has an ef-
fective range of about eight miles.
AS l have already indicated, the rapid
fire, high-power gun is thought by ex-
perts to be the most useful type of modern
ordnance. We see here an English Arm
strong weighing 6H tons, with a 6-inch
bore, throwing a hundred pound projectile
and firing by electricity. The best trials
of this gun show a speed of five aimed
shots in ffty-fve seconds, four of them
striking the target at a distance of q little
more than half a mile. The powder used
is called cordite, and it is a high-power ex-
plosive. This, therefore, may be regarded
as the very highest type of modern rapid
fire ordnance. Our own government is
rapidly improving the Hotchkiss gun, and
Is besides perfecting other types, so that in
2 few years at most Uncle Sam will be
abreast of the English in this form of ord
nance, as he is already in the forging of
heavier pieces.
In rapidity of fire the French are ahead
of both the English and Americans. They
show q gun here known as the Canet
rapid-ire gun, of So inches caliber and
11,OW pounds weight. It throws a 20
pound shell with "a pounds of smokeless
powder, and at q recent trial seven shots
were fired in ffty-four seconds, while q
smaller gun of the same model fired five
shots in twenty-four seconds. The Rus.
sian naval authorities have adopted this
gun for service on their cruisers and bat
tleships.
One of the most marvellous guns to be
found in the exposition is the Maxim
Nordenfeldt. Weighing two and a half
tons, with caliber of ~ inches, it will
throw forty-ave pound projectile through
4inch steel plates at a distance of 100
yards. It can be fired at the rate of thirty
times a minute, while smaller guns of the
same model have been fired sixty times in
9 minute. More wonderful still is the
Maxim automatic gun, which has thrown
0 cartridges in a minute. The best
thought of all that came to me as l walked
about amid all these big guns and death
dealing, lightning-like machines was that
the high state of the art of making war
seems to be bringing us perpetual peace.
