church on the woman suffrage ques-
ton, land in advocating it so strenuously,
he has been vigorous in his defense Of
the public schools. But he has found
fault with them because sufficient at
tention Is not paid to the constitution
of the United States and of the states
themselves as branches of study. His
idea is that the children should be
given a stipulated amount Of instruo-
ton in the provisions of the constitu-
ton as part of their studies. The
idea has been taken up with some vim,
and agitation in its favor has already
begun.
1t is likely that the monsignor will
enter with more energy than ever up
on the work of municipal reform in So
cial questions-work to which he owes
his present prominence in no small de-
gree. The monsignor is not as sensa-
tional as Parkh Irst, but he is far more
radical, and has predicted that we are
on the eve of a revolution in compare
son with which the revolutions of the
past will seem milk and water.
Certainly no one can speak with
more authority on behalf of the Cath

granite color 1t was, with wonderful

feature of the matter is the great ex-
pense entailed by this seeming uncostly
way of dressing. The boys are very

are limitations of the attire, but they
are readily distinguished because they
look shabby in almost no time. The
Idea has been imported from Europe,
and, in theopinion of authorities, Is des-
tined to be short lived. Nevertheless,
1t requires great deal of money to
dress so many boys in this fashion.

for weeks past they have been plenti-
full on the streets Of the metropolis.
During the summer most of these

to the costly and luxurious cushions
most opera vehicles have dainty pictures

and influential than in the period
when he ruled the city from the sher-
IFS Office, or was the most conspicuous
member of the board of aldermen.
Even when rs a member of congress he
attracted national attention, he did
not receive quite the notice nor arouse
the interest it has been his lot to do in
these latter days. Mr.. O'Brien antici-
pates sensational developments even
before the canvass is On. AS to his
choice for mayor he has said nothing
beyond the intimation that the candi-
date mast be an unusually strong man
in the sense Of personal character and
integrity. he even went so far as to
say that municipal welfare may re-
quire that the democrats will find it to-
their interest to support a republican,
provided they be certain beforehand
that he will give the city the good
government and general reform of
which it stands SO sorely in need. As,
to the outlook, the ex-sheriff is con-,
WINGED that the day Of Tammany is
done for. He does not think it will
cut any figure in the election at all,
provided the reformers act together
and show due discretion in the selec-
ton of their ticket.

mer a superb mosaic decoration placed
on the walls of that famed new palace,
and the house of Mrs. Paran Stevens is
to be decorated in similar style. The
churches, too, have gone into this ele-
CANT form of adornment. A very am
bilious move in this line is the inten-
ton of a rich New York Episcopalian
to donate large sum to the new ca
thedral of ST. John the Divine, for the
purpose of having the Lords Supper
ella borated in mosaic on one of the
altar walls. The enterprise will GER
tainly be costly, but it is likely to give
considerable impetus to an art which
has languished all over the country for
years. Mosaic is an art which means,
when followed Systematically, employ
ment for large numbers of working
men, as well as for the designers and
artists, SO that the establishment OF
this industry here would revive bust
ness IN many ways.
The difficulty is believed to be that
the cult would die out as soon as it had
attained anything like development,
but it achieves so permanent result
and is so beautiful in itself that it may
make a permanent market for itself.
At present the industry is certainly
1anguishing. The foreign artists here
declare that New York boasts not more
than one good mosaic.
