A Bill of Particulars of Art Asked For.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In reply to your article and my let ter of yesterday the Register says the proposed monument to Harry Lewis "has been designed in every essential particular" in reference to the site se- lected by the committee. If 1t Is so, give us a bill of particulars. We are burning with curlousty to know just how a statue of Harry Lewis can be designed "in every essential particular" with reference to the passageway to the County court house. The mystery is just as great as ever. If in every essential particular likeness of Harry Lewis has been made with reference to that court house 1t would seem as If some of those particulars could be given. The statement was that the art of that statue required that 1t should be erected on the site chosen in front of the county court house. The state ment seemed to be the sheerest non sense. We ask for an explanation. We get an aggravated repetition of the statement Now, "in every essen- tial particular" the statue is designed for the passageway. The last state of that man is worse than the first. We beg for those essential particulars. Shall we have them? B.

RdLIODN SCHEM ES.

Coincident with the balloon sleeves of Woman aeronautics appear to be booming. Some Frenchmen have an- nounced an interesting plan for bal loon tour all around France, their in- tention being to show that the time has arrived when balloons can be steer ed whithersoever the steerer will. And Professor Samuel A. King, the veteran
 aeronaut of this country, will start next May upon what he intends shall
 be a trip to Europe by balloon. For this purpose he will have constructed an enormous gas bag of capacity of 500,0O0 cubic feet, with a buoyant force exceeding sixteen tons Prof. King be- Heves that late in the spring there is,
 at an altitude he has determined by than a quarter of a century, an at- mospheric current that blows steadily eastward from this continent, and that by means of it 8 balloon can be waited to Europe, provided it can be kept in it. He will go equipped for every emer- gency his experience and imagination cam suggest. He will have food and water supply for three months, stove, fuel, cooking utensils, guns, ammuni- ton, fishing tackle, presents for bar barians should he happen to land among such, suits of clothing for arc- tic and antarctic regions life-preserv- ing suits, nautical and meteorological instruments and other useful articles. All these and 1900 pounds of ballast, three cars end an aluminium life boat.

4 GOOD MOVE.

We hear that the Republican mem bers of the board of aldermen are turn ing toward Alderman Macdonald as the man for president of the board. They could not do better He has fought a good fight during his membership in the board and has shown unusual skill and ability to lead and execute. He is quick to see point, has full knowledge of parliamentary or aldermanic law, and would preside over the proceedings of the board with fairness, firmness and precision. If he will take the place it should by all means be given to him. He has well earned whatever honor the Republicans of the board can give him, and his fitness for the place is conspicuous and unquestionable.

 This is we'll enough so far as 1t goes. but is not productive of pleasant rem iniscenee to the pupil. He Is taught little by his environment: there are no sermons in the stones of his school; there Is no subtle influence teaching him by the best of examples. that of the object lesson. to appreciate light and shade and color. and to grow fond of them, so that he looks back upon them with affection,a and demands that they enter Into his life In after years. It Is the stimulation of this desire for good things that is so important and so abiding quality in the education of a child. To have only the best about one means that nothing short of the ts,U lufx IAna ,,At imply extravagant tastes or perpetual disappointment. The best things are more a matter of choice than of cost. and they may be quite as frequent as the interior products. If we only know how to discriminate between the two. To be educated to know good archi- lecture foreshadows the elimination of bad architecture, and the education Is all the better for having been imbibed while young. There are attempts be- ing made to beautify the interiors of schoolrooms, by hanging photographs and prints of paintings, sculpture, and architecture upon the walls; the walls themselves to be tinted In harmonious and quiet colors. Casts upon pedestals and bas reliefs used as friezes are also suggested. These are all of value as object lessons; they instruct and in- fiuence the pupils taste, and awake an appreciation that would otherwise lie dormant
 It Is hardly probable, however, that the memory of these will cause strong affection for the places in which they are to be found; certainly not as strong affection as would be felt for the en- closed playground, the columned porch and the gabled walls of an English school. It is not sufficient to crown a wall with pleasing cornice, or to space windows in just intervals upon a plain facade, in order to have that facade remembered with pleasure Atlantic.

 the Illinois bar, who certify to the
 amount not being unreasonable-Grant Goodrich, N. B. Judd, Archibald Will
 Hams, N. H. Purple. O. H. Browning
 and R. s. Blackwell. The third was the check for s250 given him as a re-
 tainer. If successful. MT. Lincoln was
 to be paid fee of s1.000. After carry

 and gaining 1t. he presented bill for

 marking at the same time: That is as
 much as first-class lawyer would charge" The gentleman who spoke
 thus disparagingly of the services of
 future President of the United States
 was General George B. Mcclellan, who
 at that time was superintendent of the Illinois Central railroad. The original feebook of the law firm of Lincoln &

The balloon will be covered by a strong cotton netting. outside of which will be g waterproof cloth to shield the balloon from sun and rain. that will be so hung as to turn away any dripping from the lower part of the balloon. A five thousand pound drag rope and land and water anchors are parts of the equipment. All the weight will be suspended from the cotton net ting. The professor will have crew of several picked men to assist him in navigating his air ship.

The Architecture of schoolhouses.


 The boy may not feel that his sur roundings are anything more to him than a part of the great educational machine that is forming him for future action; if so, the greater pity for a lost opportunity. He may. on the other hand, develop an admiration for the mechanical perfection of his surround ings. in which case he Is. likely to un- derestimate and think poorly of beauty, which is unaccompanied by technical perfection.

HolbDrn.


 It is High Holborn beyond the Gray's Inn Gate, a thoroughfare of handsome
 width, that many people may remember
 as almost choked by row of houses.
 tumbledown but picturesque, with a
 nice shady passage at the back, verit- able bazaar, with plenty of old book stalls and odd--and-end shops for the happy lounger Middle row was pulled down in 1868. an important event in Holborn's life history only surpassed by the opening of the Holborn Viaduct ir great state by the queen in the fol- lowing year. A few more dates on the backward track of time may give us a just idea of the ancient fame of Hoi- borE. In 1841 indeed, there had been a great reparation of the road, which be- fore had often been but a quagmjre. Then it was widened in 1874, repaired in 1431-a few stones may have been put down between withstand as old Stow saith, it was first paved in 14l7, when people were lavish with the gold they had acquired in the French wars. But there are more ancient "Blllae pro re- para tione Vicorum de Alega-e ct Hol- borne" in 1888 and 1853.
 A little further on we come to Kings gate street, notable as the residence of the world-famous Sairey Camp. There is still barbers' shop in t!e street witk a striped pole, the whi'lom en- sign, perhaps, of Paul Sweedlepipes, and the general features Of the place have not changed much since MT. Peck sniff's visit-how many years ago? As an antiquity the street is also n3.ice- able, as here was actually rhe kings gate. by which he entered his private road. as to which we may quote a de- position of 1884. Andrew Lawrence. surveyor of his majestys highways, says that "His majesty and his prede- cessors time out of mind have had a private way on the back side of Hol- bourne and Gray's inn, and 50 through Finsbury fields to Kingsland." and as the Stuart kings used to drive that We y to Theobalds by Chestnut, 1t acquired the name of Theobalds road, which a bit Of the way has still retained as a London street. Doubtless it was the old Roman highway, deserted by the general line Of traffic, which was thus | utilized by their majesties.

4BSTR4CT ART.

The Register says that the Lewis me- moral committee does not ask that the memorial be erected upon the site selected because the requirements of Abstract Art demand it. We are not clear as to the meaning of this ap- parently generous concession. We can- not tell with certainty whether it means that the committee forbears to press its advantage and bring Abstract Art to it's aid, or whether it admits that Abstract Art does not really demand the erection of the memorial in the middle of the entrance way to the County court house. We hope that the latter meaning is the true one, and that the Register will so tell us this afternoon. For we have been deeply troubled by the thought that in our blindness we may have actually been in opposition to Abstract Art. Not for countless worlds would we do anything to injure that. We hope we know our duty better. And if the Register wants our help in sticking to the site selected it can have 1t if it will show us that Abstract Art is going to get the stuff1ng knocked out of it unless the memorial Is placed in front of the County build ing. If the, memorial committee has had any delicacy about lugging Ab- stract Art into the discussion it has been too delicate if it really belongs there. If it does not the Register, which speaks so ambiguously for the committee, should make its meaning clear. We cannot rest under the sus- picion that we have failed to recog- nize Abstract Art when the same has been perceived and properly treated by the Register, the memorial committee, the County commissioners and the Board of Public Works.

ness about the neck. Sleeves not quite big enough may be slashed and putting put in of another material, or sleeve puff may have a whole underside of color and material contrasting to the old sleeve. The puff that came to the elbow may now be pushed into larger dimensions by letting it reach only half as far down. and a fore sleeve of con- trasting color and material makes all right. If the old gown is spotted and soiled, patterns may be cut out of lace and set all over the gown wherever the spots come. The bodice that is too small may have contrasting vest set in and the vest may be pretty much any shape to suit the cloth. The upper part of the bodice may be slashed into strips. and a lining set under to show through in contrasting color and ma terial.
 With the very wide skirt in organ pipe folds in the back that is now the only just right shape, the efficacy of this sort of juggling ends. That being the case, the gown pictured here is clearly proven a brand new one, if in- deed, other evidence of the same end was not plentiful. It's material is laurel green velvet combined with sienna red cloth. Its yoke is entirely of the velvet and is garnished over the shoulders with jet straps having lace frills on either side The lower part Of the waist is of cloth pleated to the yoke, and large cloth .puffs and jetted velvet cuffs make up the sleeves. For trim ming the skirt has three rows of mar row velvet ribbon on either side of the front, and at the top there is a belt of velvet with bow on the left side.
