GROVER CLEvELAND's COUSIN
Did Not Know War Tax Stamp Was
Required

Asheville, N. c., December 20.-Jobe
Cleveland a cousin of ex-President Grover
Cleveland, was initiated into the mysteries
of the war tax in the office of Internal Rev.
enue Collector Harkins today. The old man
is manufacturer of wine, and leads a
secluded life in Buncombe county.
For some time reports have come to Col
dector Harkins' office that Mr.. Cleveland
was violating the revenue law by failing
to affix a stamp to each bottle he put up.
The collector wrote the old gentleman a
letter asking him to come in and make an
explanation. Today Cleveland arrived in
person. The collector put the case to his
visitor, informing him that the new law
required stamp for every bottle of wine.
The old man was astounded. In his seclu-
sion he had learned nothing of the new
law to raise money for prosecuting the
war; and he had gone on innocently violat-
ing the law. AS soon as the case was made
clear to him he made out a statement of
back tax due by him, swore to it, paid the
amount and bought supply of stamps for
future use.
Mr.. Cleveland Is "a years old and came

Mrs. Berry Receives in
Honor of Miss EicheIberger

Mrs Robert Afford Berry gave recep-
tion yesterday afternoon from until
O'Clock, at which she entertained in honor
of her sousin, Miss Kate Eichelberger of
Virginia. The house was beautifully decor
ated in wild simlax and palms, and red
roses were used effectively throughout the
apartments. This brilliant red seemed most
appropriate in this season of holiday, and
gave an added warmth and luxury to the
beauty of the rooms. In the dining
rooms, delicious menu was enjoyed, and
here the candles, the bonbons and also the
luncheon carried out the color note of red
and green. The music was furnished by
Italian harps.
Mrs. Berry wore a charming toilette of
blue silk, with lace. Miss Eichelberger was
conspicuously lovely in gown of white
point de spirit over yellow silk. She was

later to bring his play to an abrupt close
because the steam-pipes disturbed his COM
posture. 1t is to be noted that in neither
case did this excessive artistic sensitiveness
suggest a return of their money to the vul-
gar, unaesthetic public.
"A more striking instance of the develop
ment of this extreme sensitiveness is fur
nished in a recent divorce case in stage life,
in which the sensitive husband was so deep
ly affected by the greater prominence given
to his wife by the critics that he was COM
PEELED to knock her down and choke her,
as the only adequate expression of his feel
ings. Other actors, more lenient but with
a milder disposition. satisfy their artistic
temperament by always keeping in the GEN.
ter of the stage and in the focus of the
lime-lght."
If it is in such manifestations as these
that the artistic temperament reveals itself
there can be no doubt that there is great
deal of it in this country, and one may con-
fidently expect to develop an art atmos-
phere as a suitable environment. But 1t may
occur to the average person devoid of the
higher aesthetic perceptions, that If this is
the habitual way in which the artistic tenn
permanent manifests itself, one may possibly
be able to get along as well without 1t.

Some Tendencies of the
Aesthetic Temneramen.

Some recent incidents That have been
chronicled in the press dispatches nave
brought foa,h a discussion of the tenden-
eies of the aesthetic enthusiast. With
Julia Arthur ordering the curtain rung
down on her play because she was amazed
at the ill-bred conduct of certain persons
who sat in one of the boxes of a Boston
theater, and Richard Mansfield abruptly
leaving his New York theater because the
steam pipes disturbed him, there mas been
a great deal said in reference to what
seems to be regarded as liberties on the
part of both Miss Arthur and Mr. Mans
field These little incidents are dis
cussed along with the divorce proceedings
of Julia Marlowe-Tabor and Robert Tabor
tine grounds for which the former brings
aesthetic temperament OF the husband.
OF this acute development the New York
Herald pertinently says:
THE aesthetic enthusiast who ventures
to express a hope for the future of art in
this workaday country is apt to be met
with the objection that in this country we
have no cart atmosphere" The objection
is probably valid, but If we have not yet
acquired the art atmosphere there is no
doubt that we have the artistic tempera-
ment in its most acute development.
ut was the artistic temperament of one
of our great actresses which led her recent
ly to ring down the curtain on the play be-
cause the appearance of certain persons in
one of the boxes grated on her sensitive
disposition. II was the artistic tempera-
ment which led a leading actor few days
