II she got Just hired girls wages of

DEWEY AND ROOSEVELT.
Two Popular Men Cheered at a Con-
cert I'm New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The concert in Car
negie Hall tonight for the benefit of the
Dewey arch fund was great success IL
every way. Many society people attended.
There was an orchestra of sixty-five pieces.
Walter Damrosch conducted. Madame De
Vere-Sapio sang in place of Madame Nor
dica, who was i'll. The concert was a sort
OF welcome to Admiral Dewey and Cover
nor Roosevelt, both of whom were present.
When Admiral Dewey pushed aside the
curtain of his box he was Immediately rec
ognized and someone cried, Three cheers
for Dewey" They were given with a will.
Just then Governor Roosevelt pushed aside
the curtains of the box on the other side
of the house Someone cried, Three cheers
for Governor Roosevelt" Three cheers
were given, but with less vigor than for
Admiral Dewey. All through the perform
ance there were many callers at the box
of the Deweys and the Roosevelts. Admiral
Dewey often left his box to walk i'm the
lobby.
After the rendition of the Manila TIE
Deum,' composed by Walter Damrosch
in honor of the victory at Manila and
which was led by Nine. Gadski, Governor
Roosevelt spoke of the wisdom of being
well equipped for war and dwelt especially
on the Importance of a strong navy.

MADRID. Feb. 6.-Count Almenas. who
insists that the responsibility shall be
brought home to those whom SPANS de-
feats in the Spanish-American war were
due, created a scene in the Senate to-day
by asking II it were true that conspiracy
existed among the generals to prevent light
being thrown on all the circumstances of
the war.
Lieutenant General AZcarraga, minister
of war, replied that the attitude alleged
to have been adopted by the generals did
not exist. He protested against 1.-The cam
raign against the prestige of the army
Count Almenas retorted: 81 am not sat
isfied with these declarations"
The president of the. Senate, Captain
General Martinez de Campos, called him
to order saying he could not allow it to
be said In Parliament that the Spanish gen.
erals were unworthy of confidence.
Count Almenas replied: There were un-
worthy generals. as there was an infamous
government, who led Spain to dishonor.'
A great uproar ensued amid which the
president called upon Count Almenas to
withdraw his statement. The count refused
and the excitement increased.

cession was made up of people who as

line of marcn so that Ii was necessary for
the police to take charge when the remains
reached Odd Fellows Hall. Ii was impOs-
sible to estimate the number of people
along the line of march and at Odd Eel
lows Hall during the first hour after the
arrival of the funeral train, but only n
small portion could gain entrance during
the early hours, under the guidance of the
officers. Great crowds of people continued
all day and all night around the hall. Dur
ing the afternoon several women tainted.
Many came from long distances on both
sides of the river. A dozen street-car lines
were overtaxea in conveying people across
tue river. he schools in Campbell and
Kenton counties were closed and process
sion after procession of pupils passed
through the hall. Most of them carried
flowers to strew around the catafalque.
The hall was full of floral tributes before
the casket arrived and tonight Ii is a
vast bed of flowers. The floral designs
came from both sides of the river and
from a score or more of Kentucky coun-
ties.
1t was not intended to have any religious
services here, ~ut two prayers were Of
fered, and Miss Carrie Belmer and Mrs.

Mrs. Caldwell sang at the funeral OF Hor-

obsequies again in Frankfort on Thursday.
The prayer in German was by Rev. Gil
bert Schmidt pastor of st. Pauls German
Protestant Church, of which Governor
Goebel's parents were members. The pray
er in English was by Rev. III. W. Ewing,
of the Union Methodist Church.
There was no music in the procession to-
day and there will be no band when the
neighbors tomorrow morning follow the
casket again from the hall to the depot.
1t was intended to close the hall at 10 ID.
m, but at that hour the crowds extended
for squares in the vicinity of the hall, and
Il was decided to keep the hall open all
night, or until the crowds were exhausted.
Governor Beckman, member of the Leg
islature Woodson, Messrs. Shackelford,
Lillard, Mckay and other Democratic
leaders visited the hall this afternoon.
The way was cleared by the police and the

pie read descriptions, but they need to SEQ
the thing. Therefore, plaster casts OF I'M
portant works of sculpture. illustrative OF
different countries and times, parts OF
friezes and buildings, reproductions OF
paintings by engravings. etchings and pho

most extensive purchases. Indeed, to have

portant functions of our art museum.
Moreover, purchases In these lines are on
absolutely safe ground We know what we
are buying, and that we are getting value
Tor the amount expended. There Is no dam
ger from our mistaken taste: no danger OF
no danger OF paying 5000 for a bogus "old
master worth as many cents.
When We come TO the allowance to be
spent upon paintings we enter into greater
difficulties. We cannot forget that this is
a trust fund, to be spent to give the great
est good to the greatest number, and as
there is greater liability to err IL must
be spent more cautiously. My own feeling
is that we should buy excellent specimens
of paintings, of unquestioned intrinsic mer-
Ii and of nearly contemporary art, paying
the modest sums asked by artists whose
fame is yet to come. We should leave to
rich donors all $4,000 pictures, 'old mas
ters." and. indeed. for the most part. all
those of famous artists. In this way, fifty
years from now, we should be rich in can
vases whose value had increased many
times after their original cost. That sort
of buying would prove our taste and
knowledge. and IL would be spending Mr..
Herron's money so that IL would show in

But this sort of art museum requires a
large space at the very start. Casts and
reproductions and prints are not expensive.
but they are bulky. Talbot Place Is not
large enough for more than the beginning.
IL 1T is retained. only a temporary struc-
ture should be put upon IL, because the
first purchase will demonstrate TO every
one its unfitness. A site in the heart OF
the city would, of course. be best IL the
money can be got to buy the amount OF
ground needed. Why not delay buying q
