It is not to be supposed that the hun
dreds OF specimens OF the work OF
American artists which will be shown
are to comprise only studies in the
nude. But the artists have arranged
what they consider the most fitting re-
buke to that narrowness OF spirit, which.
according TO themselves, would exclude
the beautiful because 1t comes I'M
clothed. The Hanging Committee is
composed OF Alfred Q. Collins. Fred
erick w. Kost and Francis G. Jones,
and these men have little sympathy for
the anti-nakeds, as the Senatorial Com
mittee has come TO be styled. The very
catalogue of the society
RUNS TO THE NUDE

show, and there Is marked tendency
on the part of all exhibitors, whether
they submit specimens OF statuary or
of painting, 10 work In the nude.

about the time McKane married,
and that was soon after his coming OF
age, be made his first entrance into
politics by running for constable Of the
town OF Gravesend He was elected,
and from that time on, be seems TO have
led a double life. In the little church,
which his father helped TO found, he
continued 20 be W0rshipper AID an
officer; and 10 member Of the congrega-
ton was so liberal as be when the plate
was passed, or subscription had to be
headed. Why, at the very time when
I knew his political associates 20 be or
the lowest kind, and that be vas plan

a sham and a dslusion, have seen him
leading ia prayer meeting, and exhort-
ing sinners TO righteousness with an
energy OF manner that there was no
need 70 assume, and which II assumed,
simply made him the most perfect actor
I ever saw on or of the stage. But, as
I said, this was one phase OF the man s
dual life. FROM early childhood the
ferver of Methodist worship, il not the
tenets OF the church, attracted his strong
demonstrativs nature. And then there
is. I think something In the fact that at
the prayer meeting, as In the political
caucus, be liked TO lead, he wanted TO
be boss, and be was boss. The Sunday

have increased. While running the
church, be has fostered the Coney Isl:

toughs and sharpers, who have MADE
much money by exhibiting in the prize

''Whie he does not drink himself and

holdin gs Of real estate are yearly increas-
ing in value. From the one item OF
rentals he receives S32, 600 a year. This
shows the shady side OF the mans char
acter, and it certainly is black enough,
though he stoutly maintains that he
got honestly every cent he owns. or
course, the word honest is very elastic
with such men, and il must be con-
fessed Johns ethical standard is far be-
low his religious pretensiOns. Even in
JAIL I am told he asks blessing before
meals, aud believe it,
There is, however, something to be
said on the other side. The beer and
whlskey sellers, and the fakirs and
keepers Of dance houses, are all made
TO paw license that would be simply pro-
hibitOry in a less profitable held than
Ceney Island. These licenses are as
sessed In the most artistic way, depend
ing on the licensees capacity to pay
and the aggregate goes to swell the
town treasury, kept by McKane him
self but be points with pride TO the
great improvements he has made
and the fact that the taxes have
been steadily reduced. Some years
ago, chartered company, with
out consulting with Mckane, put
down a water plant in the town, but he
refused to recognize it. In defiance Of
law, but certainly in the interests of
the people, he built water works On his
own account with town money, and the
people own them. Gas and electric
light companies have been trying to en-
ter this promising territory, but the
boss has frightened them away, and
he was planning TO Sulld gas works and
an electric plant, as he had the water
works, when he ran against the law
with too much force and so lost his
head.
'While his success has made him over
bearing aud dlctatorial, he has never
yet got out Of touch with the people
among whom he grew up. He is the
custodian OF their petty secrets and the
adviser In all their undertakings. No
man OF his acquaintance ever appealed
10 his generosity IN vain. While opposed
10 LIQUOR, LIQUOR sellers and drinkers
are bis strongest friends, and the tough

ready to vote his ticket.
with a better education and higher
moral standard, John Y. Mcksne might
be famous instead OF Infamous. Not
the least remarkable thing about this
remarkable mans character Is the fact
that he still stoutly believes himself to
be a pure, innocent man, the victim Of
cruel laws and q vindictive press"
