Sunday Opening of Picture Galleries.


The wisdom of the liberal action of the
trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art
in opening that institution to the public on
Sundays is shown by the extent of the at
tendance on that day. and especially by a
compa rison of the number who avail them
selves of the opportunity thus afforded with
the attendance during the six secular days
of the week. Taking no account of the
$3.50 or 10000 visitors on the occasions of
evening openings. for which special invita-
tions We're issued. the attendance during
1879 was. in round numbers. 116,oO, of
which -, 40, or a fraction more than one
third of the whole number, We're Sunday
visitors. The actual proportion is even
greater than these figures show, for the
reason that the secular day exhibitions, Of
six or seven hours each, continue during
the whole year, with the exception of few
weeks during midsummer. whereas the
Sunday openings are limited to a portion
of the year alone. or probably during about
four months. and from half-past one to
half-past four O'Clock. only.
In originally taking this step the trustees
sought to avoid any opposition or criticism
on the part of those interested in church
attendance by fixing the hours for Sunday
exhibitions in the afternoon, when they
would interfere in the least possible degree
with religious services; and it is under
stood that in this action the movement
had the expressed or tacit approval of most
if not AL those in charge of the city
churches, of whatever denomination or
faith. 1t is furthermore accented in a
most gratifying manner by the good be-
havior and evident appreciation Of the ia
cilities thus extended them on the part of
the Sunday attendance. made up as it is in
a large degree of school children, heads of
families, strangers temporarily in the city,
department employees. and others, whose
occupations do not allow them leisure to
visit the gallery during working hours.
Another circumstance which illustrates
either a greater intelligence and fondness
for art the part of the people of this
country over those of England, or a more
liberal view as to the proper uses or obser-
vance of Sunday-or possibly both-is found
in the fact that the average number of
Sunday visitors to the Corcoran Gallery
more than double those to the great
National Gallery in London, during the
time that institution was open to the pub
lie on Sundays though the English capital
is reputed to have a population of more
than 6UD,BD people

An interesting disclosure going to show
Mr. Payn's intimate relations with promi-
nent men opposed to him politically comes
to light III the story of the recent examina-
tion of the affairs of a leading banking
concern in New York. 1t was found that
Mr.. Payn was a debtor to the institution to
the amount of nearly half a million dol
lars. and the loan, it was also discovered,
was negotiated through the friendly offices
of William c. Whitney at Mr. Payns ur-
gent and pathetic request. The medium of
communication between the two men was
the chief deputy in NJ. Payns Office. 1t is
often the case that men opposed to each

Dry Of soldier from this state who
died in the Spanish American war has
been decided on by the quartermaster-

these stones, which are to be put up at

soldiers, was made by Mr.. stephen
Maslen, of Hartford, who has put up
the stones in memory of the civil war
veterans of the state for years. 1t diff
ferS in some features from the civil
war design, but is of the same material.
Five of these stones have been or
dered. The first on the list is in memo
ry of Joseph F. Bunnell, who served in
Company X. Third Connecticut regi-
ment. He died October 6, 1888, at the age
of nineteen years. He is buried in
Woodbury. The second on the list is

the Third Connecticut and died at the
age of twenty. He is buried in Wind

The city people are called burger.
The word is derived from Burg, eta
del, preserving the memory of times
when towns required the protection of
walls and a fortress. Like city people
in all western civilization they are ever
ready to follow the fashions. Neverthe-
less they maintain a number Of old so
cial forms. In some cities practically
all homes are in apartment houses, as
for instance in Berlin. In the ancient
free towns, as Hamburg and Bremen,
people do not take kindly to the apart
ment system. Within these homes
there is much uniformity of arrange
ment. In the drawing-room a sofa oc-

so that there is nothing approaching the
slum conditions in America. Even
these populous homes, tucked behind,
beneath and above great houses, are al
ways neat; they have pictures on the
walls, snowy drapery and growing
plants at the windows, and in lieu of
musical instruments, the people have
their heads full of songs, if they have

Shortly after his resignation had been

made n few remarks relative 10 cor

marks were unfavorable to the prac-

the incident at the Henry school, where
Principal Smith chastised young Ar
thur Saalfeld with a piece of garden
hose. The Schools and Discipline com.
mittee presented report, In which
Principal Smith was upheld in his ac-
tion. The report was accepted, and
when the superintendent said: 81 do
not believe that there is a member Of
this Board, who would be willing to
have his child punished with a piece
of garden hose" President Otis said:

Tuesday evening at the regular meet

great farcial comedy, whose plot has
been formed within and about the
conflict over the school superintend-
ency question, and which for the past
year, has been played to Akron's cit
liens, terminated in an almost dramat-
ic style. Voluntarily, Superintendent
r. S. Thomas presented his resigna,

the exception of Mr.. Hartzell, being
