ILLUSTRATED ART
Mrs. Caswell's Talk on the Renais-
sance-Italian Artists

The Friday Morning club auditorium
was packed yesterday afternoon for the
illustrated art talk given by Mrs. George
\. Caswell. Light was excluded ana q
large number of handsome slides We're
thrown on a screen, to illustrate the
points made.
Mrs. Caswell is at all times an inter-
esting as well as an instructive speaker.
She knows her subject thoroughly ana
has used most intelligent and cultivated
discrimination in the sci action of her
Photographic slides.
The speaker dealt first with Perugino
Fra Bartolomeo, Andrea del Sarto, AL
bertinelli and the painters OF the first
or early Italian 3hooi. She explained
why certain saints are introduced into
the paintings of that period. and de-
scribed the gradual evolution oc the
ethereal cherubm and seraphim into fat
babies heads with wings.
Next taking up the renaissance. Mrs.
Caswcll spoke Of Michael Angelo, his
Three Fates," and the great Sistine
chapel panels. his Last Judgment -
etc; then on to Da Ninci, Correggio and
Raphael-his first large oils, his por-
traits. twelve of his l-adonnas, his fres-
Goes in the Vatican stanze; two slides
were shown from the so-called RG-
plael's Bible, and his four great car
toons.
Mrs Caswell in her talk touched on the
two art periods mentioned just enough
to show the conditions which made art
and artists what they were and why and
the leading characteristics of each as eS-
emplified in his work.

CooPER'S EXAMINATION
Some Significant Questions That We're
Not Asked

Director Poor conducted the examina-
tion. Coop er madevaboutias poor wit
ness as could be imagined. His an
swers. although deliberate, indicated a
fear that he would commit himself. He
showed surprising ignorance of the
rules of the board, saying that he had
read the book through. but did not re-
member rule 104, which made it, his duty
to report to the board any misconduct
on the part of any employee or teacher
In the course of his examination rather
peculiar omission wasfmade-in in the ques-
tions put to him. Mr.. Poor was asking
about AXtell's having demanded money
of the witness. and put the question
do you know what Axtell's purpose or
motive was in demanding that you pay
for your place." The answer was:
Eyes, do; or think do OF course
1t was expected that the next question
would be as to what that motive was,
but no such question was asked. The
subject was at once changed. and Az
tells purpose or motive, so far as
Cooper knew. was not brought out. Most
of the examination was as to the facts
alleged in Cooper's affidavit, and the wit
ness answered the questions fairly well.
When the examination of the affidavit
was concluded Cooper was shown the
instrument. and identified it. Then he
made the startling admission that he
had not read the affidavit through a the

was the best point scored by the ac-

THE PITFALLS ~ OUR STREETS.

Many ingenious articles have been written at
various times showing the unequaed attrac
tons and advantages of New-York City as a
summer resort. 1t is not necessary now 10
dwell upon the reasons why NEWCOMERS may.
as a rule consider themselves the most favored
beings in America or anywhere else in the world
at all seasons OF the year. 1t may not be out
of place, however just now to hint that among
the many things in which New-YOrk excels all
other American cities is Its comparative free
dom from mosquito pests. Immense areas in
New-Jersey, Staten Island and Long Island have
been devastated by mosquitoes this year. and
the unfortunate people who live in the suburbs
have experienced sufferngs excruciatng
that even the heart Of Weyler might be moved
to pity if he We're in position to observe the
torures endured by the hapless victims. Never
theless, II must be confessed with sorrow that
the outlook for Newly Workers who are obliged 10
remain in town during the remainder of this
month and during the month of September is
by no means encouraging. From the lowest
point Of Manhattan Island to the Yonkers boun
dary long stretches Of avenues and streets, Of
boulevards, Of parkways. and, in truth, Of real
estate Of every kind and class, are now torn up
or are soon to be torn up. Both the dwellers
and the dealers in IIfthave. have had ample
reason for loud complaints and protests because
of the heart breaking delays which have Oc
Cured in the carrying out Of the improvements
in that noble thoroughfare.
While Tammany was in power in New-York
the convenience and comfort OF the citizens
seemed never to be considered in comparison
with the benefits TO be conferred upon CON
tractors who had pull in Tammany Hail.
While New-York groaned under the burdens OF
a Tammary Mayor and Tammany Ofce-hOd-
ers in all the departments, 1t was the common
custom to permit contractors to take their own
time in repaving the streets In laying water
mains and in digging sewers. The gas com
panies and other corporations were allowed To
be as slow. as negligent and as annoying nu-
sances rs possible whenever they had any ex-
cavations to make in our public places. Not
only were contractors and corporations encOur-
aged by the apathy and Indifference Of the
Tammany city government to alct the people
of New-York az long as possible when there
was any work in progress in the streets and
avenues, but the relaying Of pavements and all
the other undertakings which the contractors
and corporations had on hand were supervised
so carelessly by Tammany inspectors that the
avenues and the streets were never In salts
factory condition. All respectable citizens had
hoped sthat with the present Mayor in power
the present Commissioner OF Public Works in
his seat. and with the displacement Of almost
all the Tammany heads of departments, there
would be a better state Of affairs In all these
things. They expected that when it was neces-
sary to disturb the streets the work would be
pushed through with inspiring energy and thor

JUDGMENTS on CANOVAS.

The murder of Canovas del Castillo has been
followed by some curious comments Many
who are not 10 be suspected OF sympathizng
with this specific crime or with anarchy III gem
cral are dealing consciously with the memory
and record of the dead statesman. They de-
rounce him for the part he played In restoring
the monarchy and supporting the dynasty
They call him reactonary, tyrant, an enemy
of human progress; and declare that his assas-
sination while it n deplorable crime
should be a warning TO others rot to do as he
did in ways Of government. All Of which must
he reckoned inapt and unjust.
Let il be granted that Canovas restored the
monarchy. What then? Was that an unpar-
donabe offence? On the contrary, it was some
thing for which every believer in good govern
ment. and especially, one might say. every be-
lever in republican institutions, should regard
him with profound gratitude For the simple
truth of history is that the Spanish Republic
was a failure. II was an injury to Spain and
discrcdlt to republicanism. No man realized
that fact more keenly than that Chief Of State
who laborcd most earnestly at the hopeless
task Of trying to redeem that ll-sarred regime
from ruin. No patriotic Spanish Republican
likes TO recall memories Of those times. 1t was
IL
and Justice when Canovas and his coadjutors
swept away the travesty and re-established a
government that. whatever its faults, did gov
ern. 1t was not only that 1t was distinct
gain for repubcanism. Not only was the re-
proach of the pseudo Republic removed, but the
cause Of true republicanism was immensely adj
vanced. There can he no question that the
Spain of Canovas was nearer true republican
| "A
not merely restore the monarchy He trans
formed it. He put 1t upon n liberal, constitu-
tonal basis. He gave Spain universal suf-
frage The change he wrought was that from
the rule Of Isabella III to that Of Maria Chris
tina. Not many statesmen Of this age have
done more benefcent work than that
As for his methods Of administration, II Is not
easy TO regard with patience the attacks that
are being made upon them We are told he
was corrupt, cruel, tyrannical; that he put men
to torture and killed them without just cause
Yes We have been told the same about Crispl
in Italy, and about the men who have ruled
France for the last score OF years. We have
been told that the British Government, espe-
clally in Ireland and India, is hideous despot-
ISM and that in its prisons innocent men are
systematically tortured to madness and to
death. Nor may we stop there. The Govern
ment of the United States has been denounced
in recent years more despoic than that OF
Russia, and comparable only with that Of
Neros Rome. That, one will say, Is n mad
mans rawlings. True. But the rawlings are ut
tered openly. and that by men OF influential
standing, and are published to the whole world.
There Is no evidence that the dcnuncations OF
Canovass government are one whit more
worthy of regard.
The fact Is. ratings against governments are
easy TO make and entirely too common. They
are often made by those who merely disap-
