MORNING AT AMALFI
Just faint simmer through the pearly
mist
That wells the hills and valley and the
bay
See! through the twilight hush. far in the
east,
Comes the first herald of approaching
day:
And. fiuttering drowsy wings.
A bird awakes and sings.
Slowly along the gray horizon steals
A tender, roseate flush, and more and
It's luster spreads. touching the giant
crags,
And giinting on the waves that lap the
shore;
And where Amalf lies.
The morning chimes arise.
White and serene, above the little town,
Nestled among the cave-seamed cliffs
that tower
To meet the clouds, the monastery stands,
Smiling welcome to the daybreak hour;
And fresh and sweet, the breeze
Stirs in the orange trees.
A dazzling fiash-a sudden. golden glow
Illumines all the sapphire bay and sky
High In my balcony, look far down
And see the tiny boats skim swiftly by;
And on her shining way
Hastens the radiant day!

PICTURES AND THEIR PRICES
The Barbizon School Leads in the Fa-
vor Of Collectors

A connoisseur of fine art, an acknowl-
edged authority abroad. as we'll as in
America. who has been engaged in the
purchase and placing of choice paint
ings for over an average lifetime and to
the extent Of more than one million dol
lars worth, said:
II consider Pittsburg, Pa, the third
best town in the United States for the
sale and selectior Of fine paintings, and
there are private collections there Of the
value Of millions in money. Cincinnati
has not a single collection, Of fine paint
ngs. The Matthew Addy collection I
consider the finest the city has ever had,
and next to that comes that of General
A. T. Goshorn. Mr.. Alexander Nc
Donald appreciates a good work, and
buys one now and then. The late Henry
Probasco had some excellent paintings,
and when he arranged to have his col
lection sold in New York, the agent Of
the art firm came here. Mr.. Pro-
basco asked what he thought they would
bring. He could not give a definite
answer, of course. Mr.. Probasco asked
If he thought his firm would give 800, ,000
The agent replied that he could not say,
but would wire the firm and asked for
-forty-eight hours of time. Mr.. Pro-
basco told him to take forty-eight hours.
The firm wired back at once to close the
bargain Immediately. The collection
was then shipped to New York, and
brought $1S60G0 at public auction.
"The Walters gallery in Baltimore Is
about the most valuable private one in
this country, worth all of four million
dollars. The collection left by the late
Sir Richard Wallace of England is valued
at seven and one-haif million dollars,
but perhaps the most valuable private
collection in the world today is that own
ed by the bachelor dry goods merchant,
M. Chanchord of Paris, which could be
safely estimated at ten million dollars.
1t includes thirty-eight Meissoniers
"The most popular and high-priced
paintings now are those of the Barbizon,
or 1880 school, as it is called, which en-
braced that glorious group of geniuses,
Millais, Diaz, Corot, Daubigny, Troyon,
Dupre, Decamps, Delacroix, Gercault
and Rousseau, the greatest Of all land
ocape painters. Meissoniers have not
appreciated in value, while Corots have
increased in price continually for the
last sixteen years or more. Portraits
by Gainsborough, Reynolds or Remney
bring fabulous prices at the present DAY.
Cornelius Vanderbilt paid $4,000 for q
Gainsborough (the Lady Mulgrove) por-
trait. Mr.. Wertheimer paid $b7,75O for
the picture called Lady Betty Define, by
Sir Joshua Reynolds. The Dutch school
commands high prices next to the Bar

its educational scope, that is, its uses in

Literary Notes

Messrs. T. Y. Crowell & Co. will add to
their series, of booklets THE Souls Quest
After God" by DR.. Lyman Abbott.
1t is now pretty generally understood
that the writer selected to complete Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson's unfinished story,
"St. Ives" is Mr.. Quiller Couch. When
one first hears this, he is inclined to re-
gret, perhaps, his early protestations.
For if there be any writer fitted by ma
ture and by sympathy to undertake the
task, it IS the author of 1.-The Splendid
Spur"
The biography of Tennyson is all in
print, and Lord Tennyson is engaged in
correcting the proofs. 1t makes two
large volumes, each of which will have a
number of illustrations. AS might be
thought, good deal of the story of Ten
nyson's life has been told by means of
his own letters. The precise terms of the
title do not appear to have been decided
upon yet.
From the we'll informed MAN of Kent"
we learn that "Mr. Herbert Spencer Is
now staying in a furnished house at
Brighton. He is anxious to bring the
biological part of his work up to date,
and has five secretaries at work helping
him. OF course he accepts none of their
work without rigid scrutiny. Unfortu-
nately his health is SO feeble that he is
only able to manage at intervals an
hours work in a day. Mr.. Spencer di-
vides his year thus-three months in
London, then three months in Brigh-
ton, then three monthe in a country
farmhouse, and then three months in
London again."
The August number Of The Outlook
will be its annual educational number.
1t will contain several features of sps-
cial interest to teachers and students.
One Of these will be an illustrated pa
per by Professor Todd, of Amherst Col
lege, on modern methods of astronom-
ical work, with special reference to the
trip made by Professor Todd and his
party to Japan for the purpose of OBJ
serving the last eclipse of the sun. Ro-
Holf Lanciani. the famous archaeol-
ogist, hae written for The Outlook pc
culiarly interesting article on Modern
Rome" which will be profusely and
beautifully illustrated from photographs
furnished by the author. Miss Susan e.
Blow. perhaps the highest American
authority on the kindergarten. will
write on that subject. Professor A. G.

Mr.. Elbridge S. Brooks is writing
book describing the adventures of a
party of boys and girls on series of
trips to the famous battlefields of the
Revolution. The author recently Wis
tied the scenes himself, accompanied
by Mr.. Ellsworth of the Century COM
pany, who photographed the historic
fields and monuments for the book an3
for an illustrated lecture which he is
to deliver next winter under Major
Ponds auspices. ''The Century Book
of the American Revolution" will
be the third in the series OF
patriotic volumes which began
with 1.-THE Century Book for Young
Americans"-a work that has sold to
the extent of $4,000 copies. 1t will have
a preface by Mr.. Depew and bear the
Endorsement of the Empire State society
of the Sons of the American Revolu-
ton. In view of the great interest in
matters pertaining to the Revolution,
it is singular that there has been no book
of just this sort since Lossing's, which
appeared in 1855.
The Comparison of Races.-Scientific
thought stretches more and more into
all fields of human activity. Topics
which have seemed to elude the grasp
of the investigator, to be Independent
of all law, are found to follow rules
which a more patient analysis has
ira "ed with greater or less exactness.
A lew years ago we should have re-
garded with suspicion, if not contempt,
an attempt to treat genius from sci
entific point of view. But since the
labors of Galton and the bold specula-
tions of Lombroso, such efforts receive
at least respectful consideration. Pro-
fessor Charles H. Cooley, of the Uni
versity of Michigan has recently printed
a pamphlet, entitled, Genius, Fame and
the Comparison of Races" (publica tions
of the American Academy of Political
and Social Science, No. 1877, Philadel-
phia, S5 cents), which forms an inter-
esting contribution to this subject He
fixes what is meant by the term
genius" the intellectual and social
conditions under which it arises, and
endeavors to ascertain whether the pro-
duction of great men is proper critic
ron of the excellence of various races.
1t is not so much the results of the in
quiry as the attitude of the writer which
will attract attention. There is always
something vague and uncertain about
such speculations which prevent their
carrying conviction. yet the subject

That the Indians would like to f1ght

That the Indians would like to fight,
everybody knows.
The story Of the trouble which has
brought about the commotion in the
vicinity Of the Tongue River agency in
this state dates back to the 9Th of last
month, when the body of a shepherd
named Hoover was found on his ranch,
riddied with bullets. 1t lay about three
fourths of a mile from the herder's camp
and about three miles north Of the
Tongue River reservation. Mutterings
of discomfort had been heard from the
Indians for quite little time, but no one
really believed that bloodshed would re-
suit. The murder of Hoover was the
first open evidence Of the seriousness of
the situation.
The Cheyenne Indians are quarrel
some lot 1t only makes a settler in
the Tongue river country laugh for any
one to suggest to him that an Indian
has a decent characteristic about him.
The settlers believe that if the society

dians would give all their proteges

that could happen to the country Cat
tie stealing is the least of the vices of the
Cheyenne. He would break all the COM
mandments every day if he could, and
twice a day if possible. He covets
everything that is not his, and does his
best to gain possession thereof. For this
reason the settlers rose to aman when
they learned of Hoover's murder. They
sent their women and children to the
nearest towns and villages and pre-
pared to go cunning for the Cheyenne
with greater pleasure than they ever
started out to hunt jack rabbits.
The murder was reported to Captain
Stouch, the agent Of the interior depart
ment at the Tongue River agency, and
when he demanded that the murderer of
Hoover be surrendered the Indian chiefs
merely laughed at him and took to the
hills. It was learned that the Indian
who shot Hoover was Little Whirlwind.
who bears the name of Stanley, and is
a graduate of Carlisle university, at Car
Isle, Pa.
He boasted Of his crime, and dared the
soldiers to come and get him. All of
which, the settlers say, is additional evil
dence of the usefulness Of the institu-
!, tions for the education Of Indian braves.
The graduates are noted for being the
most bloodthirsty of their tribes.
Then the sheriff took the matter of the
murder up, and with a posse of officers
went upon the reservation to arrest Little
Whirlwind. What happened? 1t was
the same old story of the conflict be-
tween the government and the men who
are entitled to protection. It was the
same situation that in 1884 inspired Ed
