The most important picture in the
French collection that is ready to be hung
il THE Miners Parade" by La Touche.
Nearly half the pictures 10 the French COL
lection are old works, but this one is quite
modern and shows what modern painters
strive to Go.
1.-The Miners Parade" is strong piece
of work that hasa powerful vein of human
interest about it, 1t represents body OF
men and women leaving the mine building
apparently on strike The faces are
those of people who have worked for lv-
ing and suffered much to keep their bodies
and souls together. On nearly every coante-
nance story is written, telling of hard
ship, but there is also an air of determine
ton visible that is intensely dramatic. Ii
is picture that will appeal To everybody

From an artistic standpoint the picture
possesses a great deal of merit, being well
drawn and composed. The effect of move.
ment is we'll produced and without any OF
the tricks usually employed in such cases.
In color there may be something lack
ing. The picture Is very low in KEY, and
peculiar gray tone peryades both lighIs
and shadows. However, when the picture
is looked at carefully it will be noticed
that each portion is in good value and
texture. ana that the individual color is the
same as in nature. The artist evidently
tried TO get the somber grav tone for the
purpose of helping out the effect of cheer.

students are to be admitted 70 the nn j.
versity without regard to religion. This,
of course, does not apply TO the divinity
department; its students are all priests,
but in all the faculties for ths laity there
will be no religious test, nor will ron
Catholics be excluded from professorships
unless of course those whose subject mat
ter comes into natural relationship with
religion, in which the university intends to
run no risk OF having the truth disturbed
by coming to the students through pro-
fessors who are skeptics or agnostics.
The educational prerequisite for ad-
mission will be similar to those of Har-
ward and Johns Hopkins. 1t will always
be borne in mind that the school is for
children, the college for youth and the
university for men. No one will be ad-
mitted who has not attained the age of is
or 10 years, and for them the entrance ex-
aminatons will be as rigid as in either of
the before mentioned institutions, w ich in
requirements for admission are worthy
models for the educational institutions of
the country.
1--WE recognize also from experience OF
universities both at home and abroad that
the main object of university is to train
men for research and scholarship, which
cannot be ACCOMPLISHED in the classroom,
but is to be attained in what is called the
seminary or academy. In these pro fessOTs
and students inert as fellow la borers and
carry on the individual researches which
alone can make practical scholar. In thu
various departments OF divinity studies
already organized. this system of seminary
has been established and is fully at work.
The same idea will be carried out in all
the future developments of the university.
In one word, it is not by class work but
by laboratory work in It's various modifi-
cations that the results of the university
are TO be attained"

Colonel j. ID. Stevenson was reported
much better when inquiry was made at
his home at a late hour last night. The
nurse who was in attendance said that not
for some days had there been such marked
improvement noticeable as was observed
yesterday morning. The colonel rested
and slept much more comfortably than at
any time since his illness took a serious
turn. DIR. T. l.. Mahoney called early in

The largest landscape in the collection
is entitled "a November Evening"" by E.
Twill, and it is masterful piece
of work in many ways. The compo-
sition is simplicity itself. being nothing
with few half bare trees in the middle
distance. In the foreground tall weeds
and grasses rise from the shallow puddles
of water. A few birds are flying laZily
over the ground.
The painting in this picture leaves little
to be desired. The sky is flooded with a

Two of the most pleasing pictures in the

SENATOR MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY, the

months speech on the tariff. This was
the fifteenth instsllment of the longest
Grafton on record. and his great To-
quscity will give Mr.. Quay an unexsm.
pied record in the history of congress
sionsl debates. 1t is not claimed by the
senator's most partial friends that his
long drawn out discourse was signslized
by either eloquence or ststesmsnship.
All the same, like q wounded snake, it
drew its Glow length along, to the agony
OF those who frequented the senate GAL
leries and to the. unutterable discom.
fort of his fellow senators. Mr.. Quay
belongs to the newspaper guild, and we
ought, through newspaper community.
to be indulgent to his vagaries. He ad-
mitted that he specialized in sugar. and
said that he would do SO again. But
even he said that he sold out his sugar
holdings before the debate came on in
the senate on the sugar schedule. This
was an unwonted instance of moders-
ton, and it shows that the Pennsylva-
mia senator can counterfeit a conscience.

TIE nomination of Congressman W.
W. Bowers for third term in the
Seventh district shows how dear
mediocrity ia to the American heart.
That Bowers has certain merits cannot
be disputed. He is indefatigable,
smart, clipper aud perfect illustration
OF the early bird which catches the
worm. He probably never would have
served in congress a second term il he
had not happened to catch the eye Of
the Los Angeles Times being made the
special object of the abuse of that solid
hoodoo organ. 1t is true that we were
wont to lambast bow Wow" ourselves,
but that was expected from a Democratic
journal, and did not i'm prove his political
fortunes much. The steady Billingegate
of the Times, however, seems to have
converted "Bow-W Wow" into statesman
of an enduring sort. He is good deal
OF fantoccini; but then, Lord bless
your soul, he will fit into ranks which
could accept Tom Reed as q ststesman,
and which is ready to adore Mckinley.
Considering the snimoeity of the Times

to assert positively that he will be
