Of Mr. Duttou-Street and Sidewalk
Robert W Dutton Chief Engineer of
the Fire Department. has brought the
matter Of the absence Of the police and
fire surgeons from fires to the attention
Of the Commissioners. Mr.. Dutton IS of
the opinion that at least one member of
the Board of Surgeons should attend fires,
especially thiTd-alaTm fires, in order to
render medical aid to fTemen in case of
accident. a few days ago Mr.. Dutton ad-
dressed q letter Of enquiry 10 Dr.. F P
Vale, Secretary Of the Board of Sur
EeUns, asking him whether any member Of
the beard was present at the two third
alarm fires that occurred recently. The
reply was in the negative.
The fires referred to We're those on the
evening Of June 3. at North Capitol and
Z Streets and on the evening of June s.
at Eleventh and B Streets. In his letter
to the Commissioners Mr.. DUtton says
that each Of these fires vas what is
known as third-aIarln FIRE, nine com
panies responding to the first and twelve
to the second alarms He states that at
the first fire two members Of the depart
n2ent were injured, and were hurried of
20 the hospital He quotes from the let
ter OF Dr. Vale to show that no member
OF the Board Of Surgeons was on the
ground, and that the men were assisted
by Dr. J r hewitt, the District Coro-
neT- and private physician, before be-
ing removed to the hospital Continuing
Mr. DuttOG says:
1t is Believed to be very desirable that
at least one OF the police and fire surgeons.
should be present at every large fire. for
the more extensive the fire the greater
the number Of firemen present. and the
more probable it is that some of them
VIII suffer injury 1t IS true that an in
Jured man can be quickly placed in a hos
pital, but nevertheless it seems to me that
1t should be 50 arranged that the injured
could receive immediate medical assist
-ance on the ground of the fire Therefore
L nave the honor to recommend the pres
ence Of at least one of the police and fire
surgeons at every fire of more than ordf-
nary extent, at every fire, for instance,
Tor which third, fourth. fifth or sixth
alarm is sent in. The surgeons could be
promptly notified by fire alarm headdIiar-
tiers
i understand the Beard of Police and
Fire Surgeons have suggested that he
members Of the Fire Department be in
structed in the first aid to the injured
and the suggestion is one which ] trust
the Honorable Commissioners will ap-
prove IT they should do so this depart |
ment would afford the surgeons every Ia |
cility in their work of Instruction

EDWIN AUSTIN ABBEY
THE ARTIST WHO is TO PAINT
THE CORONATION.
He Is a Graduate OF the Pennsylvania
Gallery Of Fine Arts-He Went to
England and There Became a Subject
of the Crown.

That Edwin Austin Abbey has been
selected as the official painter of the
coming coronation is a tribute to great
artistic achievement. Mr.. Abbey is
one of that considerable colony of
Americans who have taken up a per-
manent residence in England. Whist
Ter, Sargent and Henry James are
among his fellow exiles. All have won
honor abroad.
Born in Philadelphia In 1852. Mr..
Abbey studied at the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts. In 1871 he be-
gan drawing for Harper's Magazine
and other publications Of the Harper
Brothers in New York. He soon rose
to be the favorite illustrator in black
and white for both books ans peri
odicals. His methods were especially
adapted to the Interpretation Of the
quiet idylls of the old time country life
and to portrayals of the beruffled, gay
ly dressed cavaliers and danes in
quilted petticoats, who wnirled through
the Mayfair of eighteenth century Eng
land. His first successes were won, in
fact, by illustrations to Herrick's
poems and Goldsmith's comedies. But
it was not until after he had taken up
his residence in London, in 1878, that
he discovered the true bent of his
genius. His greatest achievements Of
this latter more ambitious period are
permanently placed in the country of
his birth. These are the five mural
paintings illustrating The Quest of the
Holy Grail" now in the delivery room
of the Boston Public Library. Mr..
Abbey drew his inspiration less from
Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1901-05-16

English literature than from the
medieval French and German rom
ances. Since then he has devoted him
self mainly to historical or semi-his-
torical subjects, with an occasional ex-
cursus into portrait painting. His
most famous recent pictures in the
former line are Richard, Duke of
Gloucester, and the Lady Anne"
Q896); "Hemlet" QS97), and King
Lear's Daughters" (1S9S). Among the
best known portraits are water colors
of Andrew Carnegie, J.. W. Harper and
R. G. Dun.
Mr.. Abbey was elected a member of
the Royal Institute of Painters in
Water Colors in 1888, and a member Of
the Royal Academy of England in 1896.
He won a ~second-class medal at the
Paris Exposition Of 1883 and a first
class medal at the Paris Exposition of
1889.
When the present king was married.
in 1868, the commission to commemor-
ate officially the ceremony was given
to the most popular painter Of the
period, w P. Firth, r. A., who is still
living. In his Autobiography and
"reminiscences" Mr.. Firth has given an
amusing account of the difficulties that
confronted him. Similar difficulties
will, doubtless, have to be met and
conquered by Mr.. Abbey.
Mr.. Firth had great trouble with the
bride. Princess Alexandra. herself. She
did not seem to realize that she must
keep her face in one position IL the
painter was to catch a resemblance Of
It. He appealed to the Prince of
Wales. You should scold her" said
he. Firth wal not hero enough for so
heroic a measure. At that time Glib
son was making a bust Of the same
lady. Firth hoped he might get a
hint from the unfinished bust. He
found, however, that it was not a good
likeness, and said so. well" said
Gibson, "the princess is a delightful
lady, but she can't sit a bit" At this
moment the prince and princess en-
tered Gibson's studio, The prince
said:
How do you find the princess sits
Mr.. Gibson?"
Gibson looked in dead silence at the
prince, then at the princess. smiled,
and shook his head.
There, you see" said the prince,
you neither sit properly to Mr.. Glib
son nor to Mr.. Firth"

Interesting details of Sven Hedin's
researches in Central Asia are con-
tanned in a letter from the explorer
to a friend in Copenhagen. The writer
declares that the last summer has
proved the most fruitful period of his
journey. We broke up from Til
men," he says, ION July 20, in order to
explore the unknown regions of the
north Of Thibet. The journey there
and back to our headquarters occupied
ninety-three days. We covered 1853
kilometers (about as far as from
Stockholm to Paris). The way led
through completely unknown districts.
We preserved our surveys Of it in 173
maps. The caravan consisted at the
start Of six servants, seven camels,
twelve horses, sixteen sheep and one
mule. During the journey we lost one
man, an Afghan explorer, who died
after an Illness of thirteen days, and
whose body we were Obliged to carry
cross the desert; three camels, nine
horses and the mule. The animals died
from o~verexertion. Almost all the
time we were on a plateau some Ave
thousand meters lover three miles)
above the sea. The caravan passed
Arkatag, the mightiest group Of noun
tains on earth, consisting Of three
parallel chains Of mountains. We f.
nally reached the neighborhood of the
Yank-tse-Kiang Here, however, we
were obliged to turn back" The scien-
tifc results Of the expedition are very
valuable, and embrace the provinces
OF topography, c~urtography, %astrono-
my, meteorology observations taken
twice daily, hypsometry, geology and
photography. Hedin states that the
caravan met with none of the dangers
that are usual in a hostile land, but it
had many enemies. The worst of these
were the storms from the west, these
being always accompanied by snow and
hail. The cold at our level-that Of
seventeen Eiffel towers piled n on
another-was," he said, "20 degrees
c%entigrade, and we could at times
scarcely get our breath. We felt as
though we were about to tumble to
the ground" The district is rich in
wild animals, and especially in ante
lopes, bears, wild sheep and goats. Dur
ing e%ighty-four days, the explorer
continues, I'VE met not a single human
being. An old Inscription on a rock
told us, however, hat Mongols had
formerly lived here."-Berlin corre-

MILLIONAIRE IN SENATE.
Twelve Years Ago He was Down to His
Last Cent.

Thomas Kearns, sworn in lately as
senator from Utah, has had a remarka-
BILE career. Twelve years ago he was a
poor farmer in Nebraska, neal the
town of Fremont. His neighbor was
a man named Keith. They sold their
farms, and with the money started for
Utah to become miners. For several
years they prospected without any re-
turn whatever. They knew what it
was to be down to the last cent in their
pockets and the last cracker in the
grub-box. One day Kearns found a
rich streak. There was gold, silver,
lead and copper. He secured enough
money to run a shaft and then COM
menced operations. To-day the mine
is known as the Silver King, the larg-
est silver mine in the world. Mr..
Kearns has been offered and refused
$12, 600, 900 for it. 1t has paid $780,
900 in dividends. Keith has shared
equally in the profits. Senator Kearns
is, therefore, another millionaire in
the senate. 1t is said. to his credit,
however, that with all his good fortune
he is the same Tom Kearns who used
to farm in Nebraska. Deprived of the
advantages of an early education, he
has done his best to make up the def
cit, and what he learned he remem-
bered. He is said to be a man of many
interesting and admirable traits, his
generosity being illustrated by tho
fact that he donated twenty acres of
land and a building costing 500, 900
for an asylum for the orphans of min
ers. Although Senator Kearns is a
Catholic, the institution is ~non-sectari-
an, and every form Of religion is pre-
scented among the little ones who find
a home within its walls.-Washington
Post.
