HurIer nnd ConI,linc.

Once, at a London dinner table, the late
Professor Huxley met Roscoe COnkling,
OF whom he ventured TO inquire his views
on the subject OF civil service reform. The
brilliant American started OFF immediate
ly in full career upon a denunciatory
speech, long, elaborate, rhetorical and
effective, but approaching the proportions
of an Grafton rather than those suitable for
table talk. Mr.. Huxley, a no less forcible
talker himself, rcfraincd from making any
reply When he was asked what ne Thought
of Mr. Conkling's speech, however, he
paid it the characteristic compliment of
calling it "the most brilliant defense L
ever heard Of a perfectly indeiensiblo
thing. At another dinner, at which
John Bright was present, the conversation
happened TO turn upon India, and Mr.
Huxley expressed with considerable vigor
his imporialist opinions concluding with
the statement that India had been won by
the sword and must be held by tine sword.
That aroused Bright. His soul hlazed out.
He spoke as one having authority and in
spiration. When he ended, MIR. Huxley,
impressed with Bright's sincerity and not
caring for an argument sat silent As
the company went mp stairs some one said
10 Mr.. Huxley that he thought Mr.. Bright
had gone rather far "Mell, F." he replied

Composite Names.

Everybody knows that Delmar takes its
name from the fact that it is just on the
state line between Delaware and Maryland
and that Penmar is named in the same
way from Pennsylvania and Maryland,
but few Philadelphians are aware that
their city has contributed in this fashion
TO the little station of Philmont, which
lies about five miles beyond Jenkintown,
on the New York division of the Reading
railroad. The station is very close to the
line which divides the Thirty fifth ward of
this city from Montgomery county and is
named from these two counties. The final
syllable, ''mont gives the impression that
the name, which is a very pretty one, is of
French origin, but it is not, and probably
had its origin in the brain of some rail
road engineer or interested landowner. -

TURKISH CAVALRY.
Magnificent Spectacle Presented In 8
orco 2 Wc~it Driil.

Once Week Drin.
We passed across "a terrace on which stood
those who lad not secured tickets Of ad-
mission, and where crowds of p4shas and
aids-de-camp were waiting till the time
came TO take their appointed places. After
giving our visiting cards at the door of the
building we entered and found we were
in good time to secure front places in one
Of the windows. The scene was already
I'll Of life and interest. Exactly opposite,
across the road, rose the small white
mosque, standing In the midst Of a large
gravclcd space. To the right, just beyond
the road by which we had climbed the hin,
were massed two large bodies OF cavalry,
one mounted on gray, the other on brown
horses. They were what wo should call
lancers, and thcir red pcnnons shone in the
bright sunlight. In front OF them were
many hundreds Of Turkish women, their
heads covered with the large white linen
covering which marks the poorer classes
as distinguished from the yashmak, or fine
muslin head dress worn by ladies. A cor
nor of this linen is drawn over the mouth
The male spectators, in their varied gar
mcnts, stood where they could
Now the first band was heard, and the
lire regiments one after another marched
swiftly up tho hill and took up thoir posi-
tlons all down the various roads that Sur
round the mosque. Immediately under
our windows woro two regiments of
z0uaves with green turbans and loose
trousers and white gaiters. They came
down tho hill from the direction OF the
palace, with a fine, swinging, elastic step,
preceded by their bard. Opposite, across
tho road, was the regiment Of marines,
with their large sailor collars. In all, about
| 5000 troops are masscd each week round
the mosque, a splendid sight in itself, foI
the Turkish soldiers are well drilled and
well clothed, while tho officers uniforms

One Critic Thinks 1t Is HIS Portrait of n
Little Girl.
I do not think that there is anything in
Mr. Sargont's work since he painted the
Beatrice" to lead us TO imagine that he
may not again paint q portrait as perfect
as this, OF even u finer one; but all things
being considered, and the factor Of per
sonal preference being admitted in the
Judgment, it is tho ono that / choose as
the best, and, If limited TO a single canvas,
the one upon which 1 should rest his claim
TO rank with the worlds great painters.
This little girl with pale golden hair
tied with pink ribbon, in gown of silk
with stripes of Ii.... t-~ cray, her small
hands joined before her, with the finger
tips touching, and the cockatoo in his high
gilt cage behind her, presents an adorable
picture. That the portrait Is delicate and
harmonious in color; that the figure and
accessories are painted with facile grace
and sure precision; that 1t is captivating
in aspect, and that It is complete in the
sense that nothing may be taken away,
changed or added TO, it is easy to say all
this, and it is easy to support the asser-
tions before the picture.
To explain its great charm is more diili-
cult than TO analyze its merits. The charm
seems - lie in the marvellous excellence OF
the painters handiwork, expressing, as it
does, so perfectly the sweet attractions OF
beautiful childhood. There are other ways
OF painting than the manner in which this
picture is painted. There are certain more
naive ways of interpreting nature, some
that appeal more tonchingly, perhaps by a
sort Of timidity porccptible in the paint
or's heart and made seductive by tho just
ness of tho final rendering but nothing
better i'm this particular way could we'll hi

OLD PENN'S FOOTBALLISTS.

WHARTON EXPECTED TO BE A
GREAT SUCCESS AS CAPTAIN
THIS YEAR.
All Of the Philadelphia newspapers
apparently consider the election of
Charles Wharton as captain of the
University Of Pennsylvania football
team the best result that could be at
tanned. Wharton with Woodruff, Is
considered to be the best guard in the
country.
Charles NJ. Wharton was born in
Smyrna in 1872, and received his early
schooling in the Conference Academy,
n Methodist institution of Dover. His
first football experience was received
rs a member of the Delaware Field
Club. of Wilmington, where he was
tried at guard and began to develop
that style of play which has culmi-
mated in the Woodruff formation. Up
to his time the guards were supposed
to be necessarily big strong men and
the element of activity was never be-
fore considered or thoroughly put into
nlav. He entered Pennsylvania in 1893
and has played on the team ever since,
this making his fourth consecutive
year
Wharton has finished the courses in
pharmacy and dentistry and will grad
nate i'm medicine in 80. His weight is
now 2tO pounds, but he is, neverthe-
less. one of the most active m en- on the
team. OF his conscientious play moth
ing need be said; it is written high up
I'm the history of football He has
helped to make the now famous
guards back interference a success
and will infuse a great deal OF enthu-
siasm into the play of Pennsylvania
team this Fall.
The practice yesterday consisted OF
n game between two picked teams cap
tained by Wharton and Minds. They
lined up as follows:
Wharton's team-Overfield, centrei
Wharton and Woodruff, guards; Car.
nett and Farrar, tackles; Hedges and
Goodman, ends; Byron Dickson ant
jackson. half-backs; Morice, full-backi
Rice. quarterback.
Minds team-Stannard, centre
Stearns and Hancock, guards; Uffen
hoimer and McCracken, tackles; Boyle
and Joscelyn, ends; Outland and Or
bison. half-backs; Minds, full-back
"King Dickson, quarterback.
