fidelity to detail. In the robing room
of a cathedral is a group of neophytes,

Among the portraits, large one by
Kenneth Fraser of a chubby young Ia
dy with purple orchid in her hair
attracts attention by reason OF lts size
and manner. Mr.. Curran's picture OF
girl holding a bunch of roses IN Doth
hands should probably come under this
category. 1t is pleasing tnough artl-
fetal. 1.-THE boy with bowl" by Rob-
ert Henri, is about the only picture in
the collection that seems TO nave no
reason for being. THE young botan-
list" picture of a child among some
towering geranium plants, is pretty
enough, and is by David Walker.
Since the death of George Innes in
1894. the works of this painter have
been steadily rising in the estimation
of critics and the public, unui Hum
they are ranked very high. AS mas
been well said, Mr.. Innes was intensely
in earnest. His life showed an IN,
cessant advance and renewal. and all
his pictures were broadly painted ana
deeply felt. The Worcester Art Muse

That organization which has set for
itself the task of reversing the civil SER
vice policy of the republican party in
the next national platform, might as
we'll wind up and go out of business. No
men of wide reputation appear to be
connected with it, and the party is too
far committed to, and the people too
well satisfied with the merit system to
make a reversal of policy a safe party
measure, let alone the question of right
and public welfare.

The London Saturday Review mer-
cilessly pitches into Sir Edward Law

pitiful failures with the Sunday issues
of the Daily Telegraph and the Daily

no advertising for the Sunday editions,
while the circulation, which was badly
managed, was far below the most mod
est estimates of the proprietors. The
people would not buy the papers. Sell

Under new order issued from the

annual salary of $4,000, whether at
sea or on shore. The senior rear adj
mirals, the class which includes Schley,
will have $500 at sea and S6375 ashore,
but Schley is ashore. The Junior rear
admirals, including Sampson, will have
$500 at sea and S4675 ashore but
Sampson is on sea duty. 1t doesn't
look as if the Schley partisans had any
thing to complain of at present.

recently underwent an operation for ap-

The United States, which in this case
means the Standard Oil Company, sup
plies ten-twentieths of the five billion
gallons of crude petroleum used in the
world, the great Russian monopoly con-
tributes nine-twentieths and a dozen
other countries combine to furnish the
remaining twentieth, with Austria and
sumatra in the lead. When it comes
to refined oil, however, the United
States furnishes more than double the
quantity that comes from Russia, the
American crude oil being much the
richer and producing double the guam
tity of refined oil as compared with the
Russian. The American export amounts
to nearly billion gallons.

It costs the Boston and Maine rail-

used in sprinkling a mile of track. This
is outside of the cost of the sDrinklers

five miles of track were wet down the
first day. The expenditure Of time and
money required for laying the dust on
200 miles of main track can be readily
computed from these data.

A Washington dispatch makes the
conservative statement that while no
increase of taxation need be expected,
there can be no modification of the war
revenue law till 1901 or more probably
1902. If we get out of the Spanish war
and it's contingent responsibilities as
early and as cheaply as this prediction
implies, we shall be lucky. Assuming
that there are to be no far-reaching fin
ancial reverses or business depressionin
the next two years, the prospects now
seem to favor an ample revenue for all
probable needs Of government.
