WITH TIE INDEPENDENTS.
Tho HoAe Boys Busy Rehearsing for Their
Minstrel show.

Wonderful strides in minstrelsy
have been made by the Hose boys
during the past week. A marked inn
provement in the ensemble work is
noticeable, and the opening and clos
ing choruses, as now sung, are
beginning to show evidences of being
set to music. One of the soloists
mentioned in the last issue Of the
Chronicle has taken fresh grip, and
at the last rehearsal came within an
ace Of hitting the tune in one spot.
A feature of the coming entertain
ment will be the dog show in the
first part Of the entertainment. Just
what it is to be is at present a mystery
but the manager Of this feature as
sures the Chronicle that some of the
s'purps'' will be remarkably hfelike.
Musical Director Buisyon has ar
ranged for a full orchestra, consisting
of piano and trombone, with slight
prospect of another instrument. There
is some talk of making an innovation
in the show this year by having the
end men appear with their faces
decorated by the application of burnt
cork. Arrangements have also been
made by General Manager Ayers SC
that the public will be enabled to pur-
chase tickets for this combination Of
wit, humor and wisdom for the sum
of one dollar for the best seats in the
house.
Stage Manager f. e. Pierson has
been too busy during the past week
with rehearsals TO call on his family,
but yesterday sent note to his wife
saying he would endeayor to call on
them Sunday for few minutes.
Generalissimo Bragadocio Bombasto
Smith, who looks intelligent and will
occupy the middle chair in the arena
ON the evening OF October IL next, is
now full Of business, and hasn't been
caught mapping for the last week.
A great number of surprises are
promised by the Hose boys this year,
and the city editor of the Chronicle has
detailed a reporter to Investigate
several interesting rumors, with Or
ders to let the public know next week
just whats doin'. .

Democrats at Newton Hold . Con-
vertIon- Nominate BY byAccIamatIon.
The Fourth District Democratic
convention was held on Wednesday at
the court house at Newton. All mem
bers Of the Morris County delegation,
of which Charles B. Gee Of Madison
was chairman, and W. P. Savage of
Morristown secretary, were present.
Prosecutor W. A. Stryker of WASH
ington was made temporary chairman
at the morning session, and discussed
the issues of the campaign, which was
followed By the appointment of the
usual committees.
The afternoon session convened at
1.sO, and Mr.. Stryker was elected
permanent chairman. The reports Of
the several committees were made,
and nominations for Congressman
were in order. Hunterdon proposed
Joshua S. Salmon for nomination,
and the nomination was seconded by
the chairman of each delegation in
rotation. Mr.. Salmon was then
nominated by acelamation.
A committee was appointed to break
the news to the Congressman and es-
cort him to the platform. Mr. salmon
was received with applause and for
twenty minutes endeavored to put a
prop under the bugaboo of imperial
ism. He said nothing of what he has
done or what he had not done while
in Congress, and avoided the silver
question absolutely. The Congress
uan was followed by Judge Morrow,
who tried to poke fun at the full
dinner pail and Mckinley prosperity
in general.

THE new ANo the OLD.

The Campaign Committee of the
Republican Club of New York has
issued new version of the Star
Spangled Banner as follows:
oh say, can you see, by the far Eas-
tern light,
What so proudly is hailed at the
twilight's last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
after many fight,
& In lands far and near, is SO gallantly
streaming?
And the thanks i'll our prayer, rising
high in the air,
Give proof to the World that our flag
( is still there N
oh, say, let that star-spangled banner
be waved
Ger the lands we have freed and the
peoples we We savedl
Oh, thus be it always whenever we
stand
Between the oppressed and King S
des0lationl
Blest with victory and peace, may the
Heaven rescued land
Praise, the Power that had made us
powerful nationl
And onward we must for our cause
it is just;
And this be our motto, i'll God is our
trust;
Let the star-spangled banner in tri-
unph be waved,
O'er the lands we have freed aud the
peoples we've saved
( This is in marked contrast with the
Bryan version of my Country. ",as
published in the Chicago Times
Herald:
Poor country, tbs Of thee,
So full OF misery.
OF thee / sing
Land where the best is bad,
Land where we're all so sad,
Let me reign and be glad,
Thou poor old thing

Meath hateful plenty's sway,

How can men care for what
They're promised or they've got
AS long as things are not

the artistic instinct M Ernest Bieler is one of
them. Perhaps ha decorative panels are paint
ed with little hardness perhaps he does not
yet understand the art of filing given space

his figures have a new and amusing flavor; with
all his faults he is still to be taken seriously.
Then the fantasticaI designs of NJ Ferdinand

himself never attained. "L'Atelier' is master

light and shade, its beauty of color and its gen.

mony to the existence of artistic strain in
Belgian blood that, while Stevens some
thing to Paris, he is in the last resort Belgian,

his composition.
NJ. Fernand KhnOpff is less obviously a

Maeterlinck is the best known type He paints

calls it lie Silence" He intends it to be a
symbol, and such it must be regarded; the
figure is frail and mysterious; the blood of life
is missing, yet in some strange way the life of
art futters family in the picture. "L'Encens' is
more transparent in significance. The woman in
this, wrapped in brocaded vestments, and hold
ing in one of her gloved hands a slender chalice,
is simply an interesting model masquerading in
ecclesiastical garb. But the quiet green tints of
the portrait, fading into tender mauve, make
the surface exquisite, and the style is firm

himself from the general movement without los
ing anything. Probably the mystical bent of his
mind would always prevent his lending a very
fresh realism to his compositions In any case
he has precious fact to fall back upon
whatever he may lack he is still man of taste
and refinement, who has the sense of beauty and
can make pictures worth looking at.
Jean Devile may be mentioned with him, in
asmuch as his big decorative panel "LAmour
des Ames," shows a kindred spirit, but there is
much less charm of color in this curious picture
of two nude figures rising in linear swirls
through a limbo of stars and flames Leon
Frederic is another Belgian symbolst, but his
mysticism is of the earth earthly. In large
triptych called lie Ruisseau" he has painted
multitude of naked babies waking, tumblinG
over one another in the joy of living and falling
asleep. They deftly drawn and not badly
put together into odd composition, but the
flesh tints suggest that the poor children have
all been boiled for the OCCASION they look very
like shrimps. The late Henri Evenepoel was
neither mystic realistic, but of ad-
Vanced ideas, who sought to recover something
of the original design and simplicity which
characterized Velasquez. His portrait of Fran
cisco Iturrino called 'L'Espagnol a Paris' is
one Of those canvases in which great promise is
at once recognized; it is new, it suggests power
and is undoubtedly effective, without, however,
command unqualified praise The figure is well
done, but the picture wants atmosphere. To
a certain extent this is representative of the
Belgian school. There is atmosphere in many
of the paintings here, a devotion to nature is
everywhere visible but the last subtleties of the
open air not often caught as they are
caught in Holland. 1t is significant that all the
pictures selected for special comment are figure
pieces There are some Belgian landscape paint
of onft
shows in his big Autumn" that he can paint
1t is a glorious work packed with sunlight and
with the truth found only out of doors. But the
landscape men, accomplished as they are yield
the pre-eminence to the figure painters
The Swiss section comes dangerously near to
being an annex to the French. That is because
the average is rather low and when something
rises above it the painter turns out TO be one
with Partisan affiliations. Mile. Louise Breslau
for example, has six seven acceptable things
in the show. She is a pupil of Tony Robert
Fleury's with impressiOnistic leanings The
merits of her art, such they are, have little
10 do with Switzerland. She impresses one as a
painter who drives at putting things on canvas
in a matter of fact way, and has learned in
Paris how to do it with little air that is her
own M. GirOns portrait of a lady and his
"Jeune file d'Unterwald" are typical Salon pro-
ductions. But Mile. Breslau with her modicum
of individuality is perhaps a better specimen
of Swiss art than NJ. Giron After noticing the
latter and his unnterestng companions one is
free to observe that here and there among the
Swiss there painters who whether trained
In Paris or not, are at all events possessed of
