est observation and sincerity with which
they paint the flesh tints.
Two other miniatures by this artist are
evidently done from ambrotypes, they are
so charmingly old-fashioned- Another
miniature by her is child-her nephew,
the grandson of Mr.. Miller, president of
the Society of Washington Artists. This
is particularly dainty work. In it are
preserved the tender complexion and an
gelic expression of healthful child just
emerging from babyhocd.
Mrs Davis exhibits "The Twins" two
female heads. quite Grecian in character
and charmingly painted. They suggest
the great Malbone in quality and motive.
Mrs. Kirkham. in No. 81, shows two
portraits that might be eighteen and
''ninety-eight." a sweet maid and hand
some matron; however, ninety-eight
might be twenty years too many. These
miniatures. in their way. though lacking
somewhat in color. have a forceful model
ing and craftsmanship that is rare in
portraits, large or small. and which make
them conspicuous. The artists have all
commented on this One feels that if they
were enlarged to life-size they would still
be strong portraits. How rarely this can
be said of miniatures. The miniatures
are indeed a distinguished feature of the
Water Color Exhibition.
The black and White portion OF the eX-
hibition is small. Mr.. Milier's etchings
some monotypes by Chandlee a Dickens
study by Glenn-Brown and some deco
rative things by Mr.. Curtiss and Miss
Burdette make up its more interesting
features. The novelty of the black and
white show are the Chandlee monotypes,
of which there are three.
In these monotypes Mr.. Chandee
sounds a note that is full of promise;
monotoypes are so new. These are among
the first made in Washington and reveal
the artistic possibilities of the method.
The method is simply a picture painted
on polished zinc plate, precisely like
an etching. But one impression can be
made, therefore, it is not reproductive
process. Each print is much an origi-
nal painting as any picture. 1t is
painting, the press print being merely an
incident in the process which imparts to
the painting some of the fine qualities
that belong to an etching.
No. 142 by Mr.. Chandlee, is a rich,
somber Innis-like monotype, full Of
poetry and painter-like throughout. This
picture was purchased by Mr.. Curtis at
the opening of the exhibition, and the
artists all envy Mr.. Curtis his new pos
session. Mr.. Chandlee. went to New
York yesterday. He carried with him
letters to Frank Russell Green, the lead
ing monotypist there. and will doubtless
return full of new ideas which will bear
his hand. JAMES HENRY MOSER.

The Meet in New York De6ex m.
L.. W


New York, Dec. 3-More than s. 90 peo-
peared at Madison Square Gardens to-
night TO witness the races that marked
the opening of the indoor racing season.
The races were not held by the sanction
of the L. A. w, but in express defiance
OF it.
On the track were the familiar faces Of
men who have been officiating for years
at races run under league rules. On the
program was the statement: Races in
dorsed By the American Racing Cyclists
Union" The substitution of the word in
dorsed' for that OF Sanctioned is in ac-
cordance with an amendment repeatedly
expressed in racing circles and by league
officials during the past two years
The events furnished rattling good
sport. The chief interest was in the
hour race between Elkes, the American.
of Glens Falls. and Taylore. the French
man. Eikes defeated Taylore, making q
miles and 6 1-2 laps in 5s:O4. a new indoor
record.
Nat Butler won the one-mile scratch pro-
fessional in 2:22 4-5 Robert walthour
was second. and F. F. Goodman third.

FOOTBALL PROHIBITED.
Noisy Enthusinsts Must Not Plny in
Vacant Lots.

Acting upon formal complaint re-
Gently lodged by Louis H. Perley, of No.
63l North Carolina Avenue, against the
playing of football on vacant lots, the
chief of police yesterday issued an order
directing the police to prohibit the play
ing of the game on certain lot in South
east Washington. The action OF the
chief of police is based upon recon-
mendation made by the Board Of Dis
triet Commissioners. and will be of inter-
est to followers OF the game in this city
inasmuch as it establishes a precedent
whereby the game will be prohibited on
all the small lots of Washington.
The lot in question adjoins the engine
house in North Carolina Avenue, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh Streets south
east, and was used by tennis players dur
ing the Summer. During the football
season, however, the devotees of that
game have been so enthusiastic that resi-
dents of North Carolina Avenue consid-
cred them a great annoyance and pro-
ductive of too much disturbance In the
vicinity of their homes hence the pro-
test.

National Expansion.
Commissioner Hermann closes his book
with a broad gauge. patriotic and most
timely review of the subject of national
expansion. He commences as follows:
Annexation and affiliation within the
confines of the great American Republic
nave become the popular thought of the
or near our shores. There is a magnetism
about the old flag which attracts these
people to us. 1t means to them freedom
and humanity. 1t means greater oppor-
tunities. This was the feeling in Florida,
In Texas. in California and in Oregon.
Eighteen great States and four prosperous
Territories and districts, with Hawaii,
comprise the domain acquired by annsxa-
ton from foreign powers-vastly exceed
ing In area that wrested from our Brit
ish ancestors by the Revolutionary War
and all within the lifetime of many still
living.
After reviewing the subjects. The Con-
stitutionality of Annexation. 'Annexa-
ton as an Element of Strength" Annex
alton by Other Nations" and IAN Object
Lesson in England's Assimilation of
Races" he eloquently says of the destiny
of the great American Republic:
What shall be the further destiny of this
nation? Grand and unprecedented as has
been our past. we are now emerging upon
an era still more resplendent and far SUI
perior to anything that has gone before
in our history. Our horizon has br0adened
and increased. That which before in many
things was mere interest has now be-
come necessity: None can predict the
mighty sweep of the present evolution.
1t is destiny.
Tribute to Jefferson.
1t would be wrong TO close any review
of this most timely and valuable work
without directing attention to Commits
sioner Hermann's magnificent tribute to
Thomas jefferson. the first and foremost
of American expansionists. 1t was as fol-
lows:
OF all distinguishing events in the glo-
rious career of this country. aside from
its tfiumphs for liberty and for union,
none shine forth with such imperishable
luster as the acquisition of that splendid
empire west of the Mississippi River; and
when the impartial historian shall write
up the great men and the great measures
of our nation he will place al the top of
the rolls Thomas jefferson and the Lou
isiana purchase.

There may be several seasons with

a farmer is unprepared for it, goes a

The Training Of Servants.

Although great stress is laid upon
the Importance of care in engaging
help, the treatment and the training of
a servant, after a good selection has
been made, are equally important, says
the Chicago Times Herald
To convince a girl that her happi-
ness and welfare are Of interest to her
mistress is long step in the right di-
rection. To the new girl the house
and its appointments are strange, and
the fear that "she will not suit fire.
quently adds timidity to her other dis
advantages. If her predecessor has
been a competent servant the mistress
is unconsciously unjust by comparison,
and the outlook is very disheartening /;
but how often the newcomer is an i'm

if given in time and a fair trial

I've had" said a good-natured, ig-
norant Irish girl recently, and yet half
a year is not such a very long time in
which to change ones whole manner Of
life, and without the aid of education
and trained powers Of reasoning
The mistress should remember dur
ing the training period that it is not
sensible to expect from these girls
neatness and quick adaptation to ways
of refinement, nice cooking, and intel
ligent service. 1t should also be re-
membered that there is another and a
brighter side to this. Under firm and
gentle teaching, trying as it is to the
nerves and patience of the mistress,
these girls, with their uncouth ways,
become excellent servants in many in
stances, and repay by their faithful
ness all the efforts made in their be-
half.
