ART-AND ART.

Mr.. Moody, whom we like to refer to,
says that he is tired of the thing called
art, which does not mean, of course, that
he has seen so much OF il that he is tired
OF it, but that he has O constitutional
WEAKNESS that way He also says that
we are going the way OF Nineveh Baby
Ion and Rome, and. presumably, that is a
very bad way indeed though we never
heard before that Rome was ruined by
her picture galleries, and the Bible does
not say much about the feeling for color
and form and chiaroscuro, and so forth,
in the other two cities.
What Mr.. Moody really means, in all
probability, is that he is tired of the thing
called Little Egypt; and some of the rest
or us share the feeling after we have read
certain Sunday papers. Mr. Moody how
ever, does not read the Sunday papers a ,
though he knows all about them. 1t only
takes mere whiff of this atmosphere,
whatever it is, OF art and nature un-
adorned and Seeley dinners, to make Mr..
Moody tired. He can tell whittier ma
tion is tending from one single occurrence,
just as Cuvier could construct whole
fish from one little bone of the tail. 1t
is intuition, that is what it is, as Mark
Twain would say; andit is terrible to think
what will become of It's if we go Oh read
ing about Seeley dinners and going to
picture galleries.
There is no question, seriously speaking,
that the occurrence of such an affair as the
Seeley dinner among the upper classes
is significant; but the significance amounts
to just this much, that the liking for music
hall vaudeville is not confined to any one
class Of people 1t would be rather danger
Gus, when you come to think it over, if
what we call the upper classes were ahso-
lutely pure and respectable and free from
guile. Where would the democratic insti-
tutions of America come in then? Would
not the upper class become possessed of
great and immoderate powers and develop
strange vices, among them oyerweening
self -conceit? As it is, there is some small
hance for the people underneath TO retain
their independence.
But there is another phase of Mr.. Moody's
accusation, which is Characteristic Of Mr.
Moody He includes all art in one sweep
ing sentence of condemnation. That prob
ably, is to save time But isn't it more or
less inaccurate? Suppose the Boston peo-
pie say they are sick OF this thing called
religion, lumping together Mr. Moody and
sam Jones, and anybody else they happen
to know and not TO like. How would Mr.
Moody like that?
There is art, and there is art, Mr.. Moody,
and it isn't all Egyptian.

FIREBUG RAVAGES.

One can hardly appreciate the terrible
extent to which incendiarism has grown in
New York without reviewing list OF the
principal convictions for this crime in that
city since 1892 Between that year and
the end Of 1895, eighteen persons were con-
yicted OF arson. Two OF the number are
now ia Sing Sing prison under sentences of
thirty-six years each, and another is serv-
ing a sentence Of forty-eight years. Others
received thirty, twenty-five and fifteen
years, and so on down to comparatively
severity of the punishment meted out to
these miscreants by the New York courts,
does not seem to have exercised a very
deterrent effect upon Others, for recently
there have been extremely flagrant in
stances, and in one of them a widespread
and powerful conspiracy to burn buildings
and stocks for the insurance, was unearth-
ed. In that case the principal ffrebug has
been caught and sent up for. we believe,
forty-eight years.
How to protect society against this pecu-
Harly atnocious offense. is question which
is botlIering legal and judicial minds in
various parts of tile country 1t would not
be surprising if the Legislature of New York
were to make it punishable with death, at
least in, aggravated eases. Long terms of

WASHINGTON. D. C. JANUARY q. lSs
WHAT Is THIS?

There is some practical banking sense,
and a good deal Of grim humor in the will
ingness. ascrlbed to Senator Sherman, to
promote the idea OF allowing banks 10
take out certificates based on deposits Of
silver bullion at ninety per cent of its
gold value and to use these certificates
as a basis for circulation. The sense Of
the proposition lies in the fact that it
would provide a circulating medium upon
the basis Of which the people would not
have to pay interest The humor comes
in with tue idea Of fixing permanently in
the public mind the strictly merchandise
character with which monometallisnl has
attempted to endow silver.
But the question arises: If the commodity
silver properly may be used is security
for paper money circulation, on a basis
Of value measured in geld coin, why should
Lot the commodity copper be equally ac-
ceptable for the same purpose, in the same
way And if copper, why not pig iron,
short ribs, or wheat?

pentant, or is he only jocular?

Miss Jones, Piano Recital

The friends and admirers OF Miss Grace
Hamilton Jones, Washington's wonderful
young pianiste, crowded the Lutheran
Memorial Church last evening to testify
their appreciation of her worth and to en-
JOY the local musical event of the winter
The work of Miss Jones was reyela-
tion t. those who had not recently lis
tened to her playing, 1t was remarkable a
year ago fer its character and technique
Now as was admitted by all critics, i t is
phenomenal.
Miss Jones has gained greatly in com
posure and in grace, as was particularly
Illustrated in her Chopin numbers In the
Beethoven sonata and the MoSZkow ski
tarantelle, however, the little lady ap-
peared to the best advantage, perhaps.
The last number of the program, List S
E-flat concerto, gave the young performer
full scope for all her varied powers, and
at the conclusion of this (as was the case
indeed, at the close OF all of the other
num5erS) the appreciation OF the auditors,
critical though they were easily able TO
be. and critical though they were, was
impetuous and long-continued.
1t is said that Miss Jones has been stu
dent but three years, two Of these, it is
true, with Prof. Lawrence. The inference
must be that her gifts have been the rarest
which the music lovers of Washington have
met with in decade. Her industry is u
frequent topic Of comment among her in-
Inmates, and her memory is known to be
marvellous. She has, in short, deternlina
ton. taste, and passion, and for such a
person, who has manifested all of these
gifts and attainments at such an early
age, no success is too great to predict.

A man OF thirty-One unfolded a most
pathetic tale to the professor. When he
was about fifteen years OF age he was
sitting IN a church one Sunday listening
to a sermon, when suddenly the two words,

ness and remained indeHDly imprinted
Frcm that time till he came for treatment
he said he had not been free a moment
from the mental repetition of this oath or
some other profane word. The man be
longed TO religious family and was him
self Of a quiet, devout turn of mind
He had never voiced an oath in his life
but said he felt morally responsible for
each oath he had mentally registered
He had Kept his secret to himself for fear
of causing his family pain. He had tried
every specialist he could hear OF. ANY sug-
gestion. thought or sound or printed word
that his imagination could twist into an
oath would keep tossing in his mind until
sleep or variation OF the hateful word
or phrase broke the nonotony. Preceding

Sweetheart, if there should come time
When in my careworn face
The beauty of vanished prime
You strive in vainsto trace;
When faded uesses, gray and thin,
Defy the binders skill;
Sweetheart, betray no sign
BY word nor look repine.
Think OF the grace that once was mine;
Kiss me and be still.
Sweetheart, if there should come year
When from my withered lips
The loving W ord that now rings clear,
In tuneless weakness slips;
II should sing with quayering voice
Some old song worse than ill,
Sweetheart, with kind deceit,
No mocking words repeat.
Think of the voice that once was sweet;
Kiss me and. be still.
Sweetheart if there should come a day
/ know not when or how
When your love beams with lessening ray,
That burns so brightly now;
When you can meet my faithful eyes,
And feel 10 answering thrill.

Kiss me and be still.

ID, O. MILLS IDEA.
Ii Provides for Novel Lodging
Houses in New York.

Houses in New York.
ID. @. Mills has decided, says New York
correspondent. to give this city the best
system of lodging houses for men in the
world Two are now being built. MIR.
Mills believes that If lodging houses were
clean and supplied with comfortable read
ing rooms, writing tables, games and
music, together with ample bathing and
laundry facilities, dodgers would have a
better chance of securing work. Self
respect would be created and the moral
standard elevated,
In pursuance OF this idea he is now
building on BECKER street a hotel which
will accommodate 800 men Another,
half as large, is being put up on Rivington
street These buildings are to be ten
stories high and architecturally beautiful.
The Becker street house will be like
two buildings. each 100 feet square, with
an interior court DO feet square, the
buildings being joined at the center by a
tower containing the staircascs and ele-
vators The two places will cost upward
OF 1000, 900 In these hotels, each
lodger will have private room, instead
or sleeping in the great dorniuories of the
ordinary lodging house, 1t is expected that
20 cents a night VIII be charged for the
rooms, with baths, laundrieS, etc, free of
charge TO guests.
These hotels will not cater to the
tramp element. but will be for Sober
Industrious men who need such home
1t is said TO be Mr. Mills intention to
develop his system until the metropolis
is fully supplied with model lodging homes.

CURED BY HYPNOTIsM

Hypnotic treatment is given for many
things beside physical disease. In the Jan
uary number of the Hypnotic Magazine sew
eral instances are related which occurred
at hypnotic clinic in this city. A Swedish
woman who was addicted TO sudden fits OF
anger came to be treated. For several
years she had suffered from melancholia,
induced by her husbands failure in busi-
ness. A year before she came for treat
ment this melancholia had been broken by
fits of the most violent temper. The least
noise or question addressed to her would
provoke an outburst, and although she
knew she had no reason for so acting she
could not control herself, and her temper
was not confined TO the family circle Dur
ing her good" moods she was anxious to
be cured of this trouble. She came of her
weeks was dismissed cured and has never
had a return of the trouble
Professors of hypnotism say they prefer
the cases where the hypnotic state of
sleep is light, rather than heavy. for the
heavy sleepers belong to the guIIible class
and prefer to be told their complaint is
gone and will never return, without having
to reason over the matter. If the patient
OF his cure he is more apt to stay cured.
A curious case was that of man of
twenty-eigit years who had suffered from
meianchoiia, the periods lasting from one
to three days, with intervals OF the same
Duration He told the professor that three
years before he had been hypnotized and
Treated Tor his melancholia but in a few
months IL had returned. He was of the
type that was unable to depend upon itself
for mental stimulation. He could be. hyp-
Noticed and sent away cured, but would
Soon relapse. Finally the professor, after
arguing with him to no purpose at last
sent for the mans wife He taught Ler
how to hypnotic her husband, nd she now
does it as frequently as necessary Melan-
cholia has deserted him, but he is in the
position of a person depe nding upon a
drug. As long as his wife is about for him
to depend on he is all right, but If she
should die he would fall into his pre- ;ious
state.

German diplomatic service, says the New

with Miss Ledyard of Detroit. Stern old
Bismarck made a rule that any one in the

Miss Ledyard would not consent to tile
wedding so long as it was to cost the baron
