ABOUT ART EXHIBITIONS.

Three thousand people assembled at the
Art Museum in Detroit the other evening to
listen to a lecture on art Three hundred
could with difficulty be gathered together in
this city to hear an address on that subject.
and yet the Detroit public is not naturally
gifted with more esthetic tastes than are
the Indianapolis people. 1t is merely a diff
ference in education. Detroit's training in
this line began earlier, and it has progressed
further. Its artists and art lovers began
their education of the popular taste years
ago by doing precisely what our Art Asso-
citation is doing now-namely. showing the
people good pictures. Perhaps in the begin
ming they had more funds at command and
could therefore move faster, but at all
events it came about in time that their ex-
hibitions Were frequent, that they gradually
secured permanent collection of art works
and, finally, a museum in which to place
them and to serve as center of artistic
influences But the pictures were the first.
as well as the last and most important ele-
ment in the undertaking. People must see
pictures often in order to love and aptre-
ciate them. Indianapolis is seeing some good
ones now, and is coming to understand how
good they are, how worthy of admiration
is the work of the home artists This ex-
hibit, as such, will last but few DAYS
though many of the pictures will no doubt
remain in indianapolis homes In the spring
another exhibition will be made, this time
collection which is sent around circuit
of cities and selected to suit all tastes and
represent all schools" This, unless the
usual custom is varied, will be the last dis
play of the year. But why not other ex-
hibits? Just now. for instance Mr.. f. Hop
kinson Smith, the man of varied talents
of whom a great many Indianapolis citizens
have pleasant memories. has a collection of

ing his usual custom of showing the results
of his summer voyaging abroad. They are
not great pictures. but are said TO have a
brilliancy and fidelity to natures pictur-
esque side as he sees it that give them dis
tinction and make the exhibit one of the
art events of the season, even in New York

1t seems odd to read that a son of General
Mcclellan, now member of Congress, is
attacking the regular army on the ground
that it is top heavy with the gold lace
of staff officers. many of whom had not
seen more active service than falls to the
lot of member of the police force" The
father of the. gentleman who makes this
criticism was made major general in the
regular army in the first month of the war
on the strength of very. slight service. and
no commander of the Army of the Potomac
ever had a staff that sported as much gold
lace as his did. This, however. is some
what aside from the main point, and there
NAV be a good deal of foundation for Con-
gresham McClellan's assertion that the
present organization of the army is obso-
lete and inefficient. There is fine material
in the army, and in the event of war it
would doubtless prove, as it always has.
an excellent foundation on which to build
a large army, but it is a matter of common
remark among competent. judges that it's
organization is in some respects far behind
the times.

1t seems quite like renaissance Of French
history to read that the students of the Uni
versity of Paris took an active part in the
recent turbulent proceedings in that city.
For some hundreds of years past there has
not been a revolution in France or riot
in Paris that the students have not been
active factors AMI often leaders. 1t is not
known how many of them there are in at
tendance at the university at present, but
they sometimes numbered several thousands
and when once excited and modified their
esprit du corps makes them formidable
force. The prese' government, municipal
as we'll as general, is probably abundantly
able to cope with the mob, but the action
of the students contributes materially to its
serious character.

their town to be up to date in all things
should furnish it. The association deserves

A police regulation in Washington, D. c.,
forbids the use fnl.theecity of low handle
bars on bicycles, the order being given that
the rider shall at all times keep his head in
such a position as to command view
ahead of not less than three hundred feet.
This rule, of course, enrages the scorchers
who are accustomed to go about with heads
down and backs up terrifying all who cross
their path. AS it happens. however, the
majority of the Washington riders sit erect
and do not object to the order 1t is even
suspected that they encouraged the legisla-
ton, suggesting it by way of exchange for
a rule compelling all vehicles to carry
lights. If they did they acted wisely.
Wheels with low handlebars have no place
upon crowded streets, and it is only justice
where lamps are required on bicycles that
all other vehicles should carry them, also.
Both regulations should be in force in every
CITY.

scandalous blunder in a London fever
hospital is causing that institution no end
of trouble. A family named Mulquin had a
little boy in the hospital i'll with scarlet
fever. Another family named Green also had
a boy there at the same time with the
same disease. The Mulquins were informed
by the hospital authorities that their child
was dead. The father took the body away,
remarking at the time upon its alteration
in looks. The mother was too i'll to attend
the funeral and did not see the remains.
Some time later the Greens were notified
that their boy was well enough to go home.
They came for him and found a stranger.
On investigation it was found that the
Green boy had died and been buried by the
Mulquins, or at least that was what the
hospital people said, but the Greens, finding
that one dreadful bfunder had been made,
wonder if their child was really the one
buried or whether he is alive somewhere
and third mothers son is the dead one.
Meanwhile the hospital folks are trying to
make explanations, but with poor success
