Van nenrs. "r.n sirens. /.

Jan Van Beers first great hit, La
Sirene,'' representing naval officer
helping a pretty girl into yacht gig,
underwent some strange vicissitudes.
The picture, as we are told, was exhib-
tied at the Brussels salon, and having
been distinguished by royal notice the
critics and brother artists were soon in
full cry. They declared that Jan Van
Beers could not have produced such
elaborateness Of finish and minuteness
of detail had it net been that he had
painted over photograph.
The pusnacious young Belgian did not
sit quietly down under what he termed
this Infamous assertion. The head OF
the Young yachtswoman had been spe-
cialiy assailed, and he offered to allow
his critics to scratch the head out and
chemically destroy the colors down to
| the white canvas, and should there be
found any trace of photograph ne
pledged himself to pay over 81, 600. On
the other hand, should it be shown that
the picture owed its art to the sole agen-
cy of brush and pencil, then his critics
were to pay like sum to his pet home
for incurable idiots or SOME such insti-
| tuition.
Needless to say, the challenge was not
taken up, but short time after, while
the picture was etill in the gallery, the
head OF tho lady was surreptitiously cut
out and the picture otherwise dcfaced.
Fortunately the painter was able to set
it all right again with few days hard
labor, and it now belongs to wealthy
South American lady and is understood
to be in London. The right Of reproduc-
tion was sold by the artist for 1000
francs, and he believes the publishez
who bought it made something like 1O0,-
900 francs profit out OF it.-Pall Mall

place ON the retired list OF the American
navy, for she had claims on national

Her fight with the Alabama was q
duel conducted very much on the model
of the personal contests in the age Of
chivalry. After hot pursuit she had
at last cornered the Confederate cruiser
which had wrought so much ruin to
American commerce, and 1t was we'll
understood that pursuer or pursued
must perish. She watched the mouth Of
Cherbourg harbor, which her enemy
was under short notice to leave, and tho
fight was inevitable. The steamers in

them carried excursion parties from
Paris. The Kearsarge won by superior
artillery. snnerior disrinlira srnarior
to fight for than the medley of meree-
naries that crowded the privateer. These
were a desperate gang, and they had
given their officers endless trouble before
the Kearsarge took the reformation OF
their manners in hand.
AS the Alabama steamed out of har-
Dor at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning,
June 10, she found her antagonist wait
ing for her, and the two approached
each other in ever narrowing circles,
firing all the time. The Kearsarge was
better prepared for defense as well as
for attack. Her commander had rough
" armored her in the most vulnerable
parts by laying all his spare chain ca
bles In folds over the sides. The Ala
bama opened fire at distance OF about
a mile, and when the ships had made
seven complete circles she suddenly
turned and headed for the land. She
was sinking, for both shot and shell had
reached her with fearful effect on ship
and crew. A British yacht, the Deer
hound, Which had como out to see the
fight, came up In time to save about 40
of the crew as they jumped for their
lives. The last shot was fred as she
went down. 1t was glorious victory.

now, as The Daily News was among the
few metropolitan journals that said so

The first railroad west of tho Allc-

Frankfort, Ky, in 1881. The road was
laid out with as many curves as possi-

was an advantage. The cars were in

children, the upper for men, four per-
sons being seated in each compartment.
