A Word Relative to Fine Art.

Editor Of The Times:
Sir,-The gallery of pictures now on ex-
fibition at No. u East Franklin Street
is not the result of an ephermera1 fad
born of a passing whn. but conscien-
tious attempt to show us what the artist,
deserving this name, has conceived from
suggestions of his senses; what his more
delicately constituted and better trained
faculties have taught him. In short, all
fine art is an attempt to lend each other
our individual aptitudes and experiences,
to the end that we may have more unity
of purpose. understand each other and
the world we live in better, become more
sensitive to obvious beauty, and more
sensible of latent harmony in the nature
of things.
The philistine habit that renders man
Indifferent to everything that cannot fill
his stomach or his pocket robs him of
all real delight, all lasting happiness.
There may have been such people in
Athens in her palmiest days, but they
must have been in a very small minority.
or we should have no distinctive Greek
art; because Greek life, with such per-
sons in the majority, would have been
sordid and hideous.
The Art Clubs exhibition of works OF
fine art is an attempt to bridge the gulf
that separates the esthetic mind from
the practical or commercial mind, an at
tempt to make them appreciate the waste
of power. even pecuniary loss to both in
the vague distrust and contempt they re-
ciprocate.
The Wednesday Club and the Art Club
are both working along these lines one
for music, the other for pictures. If the
people respond to the conscientious efforts
thus made in their behalf new era OF
fine art will have dawned, one more step
added to the ladder of success that is
to make ours one of the important cities
of America, both as a resident and busl-
ness district The sale Of some dozen or.
more pictures now on exhibition would
do more towards effecting this result than
anything else. It is to be hoped our peo-
pie of wealth will take advantage of
this oppirSunity to buy good pictures for
the private home, as we'll s the clubs
of our city In no better way can money
be invested than by the judicious pur-
chasing of works of fine art. The pic
lures at this exhibition that will be worth
thousands a few years hence where hum
dreds can purchase them to-day Will be
pointed out to the prospective purchaser
should he so desire.
When the artist works with the con-
viction that nothing but the widest Gull
tivation and sympathies can warrant his
assuming the role of prophet of a higher
civilization, and when the merchant APP
preciateS that man cannot live by head
alone, and can only live to some p!lr-
pose by being in sympathy with his
neiehbor by recognizing his relative SUI
periority and inferlority. the general cut
throat, cut-purse scramble" we call life
NAV become communion of senses and
sentiments that appeal to us all in every
form of beauty.

Invitation, spoke OF other guests who in
manner he expressed appreciation OF the
tended to be there, and promised to try
to arrange his affairs so that he might
be with us. Death has claimed him. I
saw nothing in the figure upon the cata-
falque that recalled to me the gracious
gentleman, the thoughtful friend, with,
whom I had so recently talked. In.
gorgeous robes a body lay, but the man.
the friend. the archbishop. was no longer
visible. Where is he; what is he? At
one Of the last operate performances in
the Metropolitan Opera House the novel;
list, Ford, and his attractive bride sat
Immediately behind me. I felt pity for
him. but he seemed so radiantly happy,
so entirely content, that thought to my
self, How fortunate it is that nature
SO directs our feelings, sensat tons and
recognitons that every ore of US would
rather be himself than any one else on
EARTH Well, this same death" has
taken him also. If. in future ages, we
are to meet, shall I find him the same
deformed, curious little physique he was
in this life? hope not. Is it possible,
does it seem credible, that through the
ages of eternity that bright mind. that
quick wit, must be confined in a deformed
body? If yes. is it fair? If no. how can
we recognize him? Too deep, too deep.
Why bother? Why not trust?-Joe How
ards New York letter in Boston Globe.

unusual abundance and delicious flavor.
Il declares that the market was never
better supplied with this fruit in the
month Of May than now, and that. too.
at very reasonable prices. The Press fur
thcr says that a good share of the her-
rics now in the Philadelphia market come
from North Carolina, the shipments from
one central point in that State averaging
about one hundred refrigerated cars per
day. The great difficulty seems TO be in
supplying enough berries to I'LL the de-
mand.
This is comparatively new industry
I'M the South. at any rate, it has grown
wonderfully within the past several
years, and Southern farmers have made
large sums Of money by raising berries
and watermclons. peaches, apples and
grapes for the Northern markets.
The soil Of Virginia is peculiarly well
adapted to the production Of fruit. and
while virginians are doing great deai
in this direction, they are net living 1ully
up to their opportunities.

A VIRGINIA REBEL.

The New York papers arc agreed that
Mr.. Nixon resigned the leadership OF the
Tammany Society because he was unwill-
ing to be Ii fSurehead and a tool for Gre
ker Tho Times says that he has never
been the Tanmany leader: that Croker
>nadc himself boss by forcing his way
40 the top; that he imposed himself upon
&he organization. Furnishing enemies until
they subsidized. rewarding friends until
they were made loyal; that no held ,he
post by virtue of his own power, where
as Nixon assumed to- hold 1t by virtue
OF Cookers designation. There is no
such thing" continues the Times, las a
bosship by appointment. Natural selec-
ton does the thing-no other process con-
fers valid title. In a gang of street
ragamuff:ns the strongest and savagest
fighter becomes the leader; and SO it
Is with the Tammany organization
The Times. the Sun and the World all
commend Mr.. Nixon for the course which
he has pursued They agree that he is
too much Of gentleman, too much of an
Independent American to be dominated
by Boss Croker and to be made the in
strumcnt in Croker's hands to do his
political work.
Our contemporaries might have said
that it was the Virginia blood in Mr.
Nixon that caused him to rebel Nixon
would have made the Tammany Society
n good leader and would have done his
hes. to make it respectable political
organization If he had been allowed to
nave his way, but no self-respectirg Vir-
gilman could do the bidding of Richard

Mr.. George T. Seward, president OF the
Fidelity and Casualty Company OF New
York, Is en- intimate friend OF MI. An
drew Carnegie, and tells a most remark
aole story concerning the millionaire
Scotchman. It is in effect that Whcn 1ne
Spanish treaty was pending Mr.. Carne-
gle went to President Mckinley and said
to him that he wished to be sent 10 the
Philippines as a special commissioner or
Of one of tho several commissioners. Win
authority to assure the Filipinos that
tie Americans were seeking only their
eood and had only the lSindest feelings
for them; that we desired to help them
establish their own government securely
and then their independence would be
recognized He further told MIR. Nc
Einley that If he could have such author
ity he himself would undertake to pay the
10000. 600 which the treaty OF Paris stip
ulated the United States should pay to
Spain for the REIMBURSEMENT of her title
to the Philippines.
It is hard to believe that mr.. Carnegie
made such proposal as this to the Pres
ident of the United States. yet the story
comes from a reliable source. 1t was
scarcely less than the offer of bride.
1t was certainly reflection upon our
government for Mr.. Carnegie to intimate
that monetary consideration stood be-
tween us and our duty to the fllfpinos
II Mr.. Mckinley had not been one OIL the
most amiable men in the world ne "oulo
have shown Mr.. Carnegie the door.

Practicing Medicine by Telephone.

We heard a doctor complain recently
that one of his patients, III order pre-
sumably to save his time, sometimes
called him lln on the telephone when she
wanted him to give advice about the
baby The good dame would sit at the
other end of the wire, pencil in hand, ana
ask the unfortunate doctor to dictate his
instructions while she took them down.
This continued until one day she asked
him to dictate his prescription. At TINS
he rebelied. He was willing to take the
Eaby's temperature and pulse by tele-
phone, and even TO inspect the character
OF the dejectionS; he was even wiling
to tell all he knew about babies III gem
eral and about that baby in particular;
he did not even object for Il while to give
the lady the full benefit of a professional
call and charge it as an office visit: but
his conscience smote him when it came
to debating Latin prescription by teie-
phone and having a thrifty-minded
housewife sign his name TO it before her
own initials.
Some physicians should write chapter
on the medical ethics Of the telephone.
We would do it ourselves il we felt capa-

1t is obvious that in either case the pa

arises, what should he pay? Is it an Of
flee visit or I house visit? The advice is
given in the Office, but it is received in
the house. This is somewhat Of meta
physical Quandary. Should doctor
charge an office fee for giving advice
that goes straight to the patients bed
side? On the other hand, should a pa
tient be obliged to pay house fee for
advice which doctor gives sitting COM
fortably in his office? The problem Is
full of difficulties. Perhaps it would be
best to call it half and half, and charge
