| GOV. Odell made this Statement To-
day to Prof. George +. Canfield nreet-
dent of the State Charities Aid associa-
tlon. The governor said a great many
more thlngs, too, in defense of his action
regarding the lunacy bill that made the
ears OF his opponents tingle. Never had
a governor of the state been seer. more
excited. He stalked up and down the
chamber and made no attempt to con-
ceal his contempt and Indignation over
the arguments advanced against him.
Civil Service InfractfOns-
Mayor Low regards the disclosures in
relation to the civil service as nm
fortunate, to say the least, and has asked
the civil service commission to investi-
gate all the appointments and promotions
made since Jan. 1. The mayor has had
q fol ole xxyi+I
tary OF the civil service commission in
regard to the allegations made, and has
told him that the Leipzger incident, in
Wnlch tavor1tism was shown, could be
looked upon only as regTettable circum-
stance.
While the mayor does not think Mr. Nc
Aneny had any improper purpose in view
IN anyNof the cases that have come up
for consideration he is sorry that either
the suppression of information or the ill
advised n-competitive appointments
should have brought criticism upon the
administration. 1t is asserted that con-
trary to the law, men are performing
duties for which they were not engaged.
Hart's Art Collection
Pictures and studies by James Mt
Hart form in the Fifth avenue art gall
leries a captivating collection In it one
may review all the phases of his career.
Landscapes and cows, from the time
when he was a faithful pupil Of Munich
and OF Dusseldorf until his old age, ap-
pear here classical, tender, reflected In
charm through an amiable individuality.
He had chosen them to be on the walls
OF his house the truest expressions Of his
attitude toward nature. He had expressed
the wish that they should be shown and
sold together after his death.
They give in their collective aspect the
nj fa1n ftof L, y,
himself. 1t was honest and painstaking.
1t was poetic and serious With his own
works are paintings of others that he
valued highly.
Among them are a Windmill" by
Lambinet; Lowland Pasture" by
Troyon; a sketchy Woodland Pool by
Corot, and a Mare and Foal,'' by Her
ring, of which he spoke always f1atter-
ingly to his friends.
His Brother Prayed for Him
Piled high in the seizure room Of the
office in Nassau street of the Society for
the Suppression Of Vice are several thou
sand volumes of a paper-backed book
entitled Madame de Barry with a f11r-
ther alluring line indicating the stains
of the wicked and clever beauty at the
court of Louis XIV. There are also three
boxes containing the publishers plates
of the work. The books and plates are
J. -.
Ogilvie Publishing company, at the head
of which is j. S. Ogilvie. His brother,
G. w. Ogilvie, recently arose at prayer
meeting in the Tompkins Avenue Con-
gregahonal church in Brooklyn, and ask
ed the congregation to pray for his
brother, as he was greatly in need of
the saving grace of supplication.
The books and plates were sent vol
unfairly to the Office of Anthony Com
stock, but as the head of the Society for
the Suppression of Vice was about to
descend upon Mr.. Ogilvie's establishment
and confiscate the Objectionable volumes.
there is some wonder among the unin-
itated as to how the publisher came to
make the surrender
Just what part G. w. Ogilvie played
in the matter is not apparent, but it is
certain that he knew of the surrender Of
the books and plates before anyone ex-
cept the principals in the affair. Mr..
Comstock said that as Mr.. Ogilvie had
offered to deliver IN books and plates.
