(From the New York Commercial Adversely
The impressionlst painted a very impressiony
picture of what he thought was beautiful girl.
The curves OF her form fed around at right angles
and the flow Of her garments if developed into
an ultimate conclusion, would have left the can
vas, gone down the studio wall and the stair
way and out of the front door. BY great strength
of mind he had stopped the garments at the pic
ture frame. Her complexion was an inch deep and
like unto pink mud, he thought he had seen or
could see if he hunted for it, he didn't know
which exactly. Then he fell in love with the
image and turned Pygmalion, praying that she
might come to life. His prayer was answered,
and the picture. vivihed, stepped from its setting.
Then he regretted his prayer. Why" he said,
you are not at all like a real thing. I'd have
TO get new house to keep your skirts in. And
your face is disgustngly fouged. not fit even
for vaudeville" and he made supplcation for her
to go back into the picture, that he might sell her
for poster in hurry. All of which shows that
while impressionism is very nice in a gilt
molding, IL is fortunate that life is not true to
art.

POLICE CAPTAINS ROBBED.
Thief i'm the WaIdorf-Astorin Ban.
quct Hall.

NEW YORK. Feb 7.-Undaunted by the
presence of the flower of the police depart
| ment. yenturesome thief invaded the
| banquet hall in the WaldorfAsto Ho-
tel Monday night, at the Captains dinner
and made off with half a dozen or more of
the pretty souvenir clocks that were pre-
scented to each guest. So skillfuliy did he
get in his work that it was not until the
hour of departure from the banquet hall
that the losses were discovered.
Who the thief is and how he gained ac-
cess to the room remains for the detectives
OF the Tenderloin police station 10 discov-
err That he got in and also made off with
the souvenirs is undisputed. to the sorrow
of several captains Suspicion was at first
directed to the walters, but Mr.. Thomas
the assistant manager of the hotel. emphat-
ically denies that such thing could hap
pen at the Waldorf Astoria.
Another belief is that some of the guests
who are not members OF the police depart
ment took the clocks. but the police are
reluctant to believe that their hospitality
would be repaid with such ingratitude by
their friends. However this may be the
clocks are gone.
Police Inspector Walter L. Thompson lost
his clock, and he is in no pleasant mood
over the matter. He was sitting at table
b when it was taken. He called upon
Captain Thomas in the West Thirtieth
Street station last night and told of his
loss.
Il think it is up to you, Captain, TO APP
prehend the thief he said. The theft
occurred in your precinct" he added
laughingly. The idea of thief getting
in his fine work in the presence OF sixty
odd police captains is a piece of effrontery
we cannot overlook
Inspector Thompson said that Captain
Steinkamp Police Surgeon Donovan and
four or five others had lost their clocks.

inflicted in any case upon a prisoner for
any offence committed while he is confined
IN a penitentiary until written complaint
