PARDON AND A RETRIEVE.

While Governor Shaw of Iowa is very much given to quoting statistics and to dry logic in his speeches, he occasional ly introduces good story, and is also quick at repartee when interrupted. Several times this latter ability has served him in good stead. It was out in Nebraska last year that the governor addressed a meeting that was especial ly troublesome. A number of the long whiskered popuists were rather in- clined to doubt the statements made by him on the gold and tariff questions. To make the situation the more enl- barrassing, a half-drunken fellow in the back part of the room broke out several times. and had to be quieted.
 The governor waited patiently his opportunity to get in a telling blow that would turn the laughter and ridi- cule against the offenders Several times questions were asked and were answered by the speaker without any signs of irritation being shown. A man well down in front insisted on asking question every five minutes on an av- craze. He usually prefaced them by such remarks as Just minute, please or Let me interrupt for minute' In an unhappy moment he broke in with Pardon me, but Before he could finish the governor, a rather self-satisfed look spreading over his face, replied Well, I've pardoned lots worse fellows than you in my time, and I suppose it would be unjust to draw the line here"
 The fellow sat down, and during the remaining two hours of the address there were no more interruptions.-De- trot Free Press.

THE NEW ART" IN ITALY
Reform Movement That Takes Initi
 alive From Ruskin.

A Reform Movement That Takes Initi-
 ative From Ruslin.
 The control of art education in Italy has been for long time exclusively ex- ercised by men deeply convinced of the supremacy of classical formulae Taine has said that the imagination of the Italians is analogous to that of the ancient Greeks and Romans. that is tc say, is Latin or classic. This is one reason-we are told by Italian writer's for the stagnation and want of origi- nality in contemporary Italian art work You will find in Italy" states Alfredo Melani, in an interesting arti- cle on this topic in the last issue of the American Architect, "a number of ar- lists who know the styles from the Egyptian to the Rococo and the Elm pire; but you would be embarrassed to find ten of them who know how to ex- press their aesthetic visions in personal forms'
 l But, in spite of the hostility of the academies, the art critics, the scholars, 1 there has arisen in Italy, according to MT. Melani, very promising movement 1 in the useful arts, corresponding in | some respects to the "art nouveau'' of MT. Bing and his coterie of artists in | France, and we are promised verita- ble revelation of the vitality of this movement at the Turin exhibition of the decorative arts next year. In fur niture the original designs of Mr. Bu- gatti and MT Quarti are described as charming in the matter of color, the ornamentation being based on floral ntS s,,+ |, zrl 4 i. French furniture of the new type. Mr.. Bugatti's furniture is upholstered in sheepslkfn; the floral decorations are in light green, with accents of red aid the ornamental effect is enhanced by hammered metallic disks.
 Tn form the architecture of his furni- ture suggests an Oriental origin, anoth- CT point of resemblance to some of the French work shown at Bing's pavilion last year. MT. Quarti's designs are likewise of Oriental form, and he uses for decoration inlays of metal and mother-of-p pearl in a wood of deep sepia tone MT. Melan also refers to certain ceramic productions by Flor entine artists as elegant in form and happy in the drawing and color of their decoration. In artistic iron work he cites the work of MT. Mazzucotelli whose floral designs for wrought-iron raillngs vase standards, lamps, chan deliers and grilles illustrate in an in teresting manner the naturalistic ten dencies of the movement In all this industrial art work, based on the pie turesue and irregular lines of growing vines, shrubs. leaves and flowers MT. Melani finds note of great value and promise
 It is plainly a return to nature study, turning away from conventionalism a rejuvenation of artistic life; and it is curious to find this Italian critic quo ting Ruskin where he tells the young man who wishes to design: "Go into the garden, and that which attracts you, let 1t be your model" Boston | Transcript.

GREAT INSURANCE BUSINESS.
New York Life's Great Success Over q
 Million DajIars Day.

New York Dec. 31.-The closing day of the year indicates great prosperity in every business direction. The large mercantile houses, the various banking institutions and the trades generally are quite enthusiastic with the records made. The fire insurance business has not resulted in great profits for stock holders, owing to the poor rates obtain ed, but the regular or old line life insur ance companies, on the other hand, will make a. splendid showing for their pol icy holders. The leader in business ob- tained and in force will undoubtedly be the New York Life, as President Mccall has issued a statement that the new ap- plications to his company in l9Ol Will exceed three hundred and eighty mil lions of dollars, or more than million for every day in the year. This is an unprecedented record. The company S new paid-for business in 1901, excluding risks rejected, etc, is $260 900, 900. The total paid for insurance i'll force is Sl,- 360 900 ,00O-a gain of $160, ,000,000 over the previous year.
 It is estimated in banking circles that the dividend and interest payments on government, state, municipal, railroad and other corporation securities paya-' ble on January first will be s4Oo, 0OOoo, The new business offered to the New York Life during 1901 is nearly equal to these combined payments

The work of the blackfaced artists and the h. dian interlocutor in the person of MT.

OBIIUARY NOTES.
Death of John E Freysinger.

John B. Freysinger, who died Monday evening at his home on Court street, opposite Turn hall was one of our best known and much respected German American citizens He was in the t1t- ty-fifth year of his age. MT Frey singer was taken i'll about ten months
 ago, when, through an unfortunate misstep he dislocated his knee cap, and after that his health which had pre- viously been uninterruptedly good, be-
 gan to fail and devoted care and nurs- ing and the best medical attendance were unavailing. He was born in Bin gen on the Rhine and came to this country in 1864, going to Winsted, where he was employed for over a year as brass polisher. In 1867 he came to this city and secured a position in
 Sargent's, where he entered the de-
 partment under MT. Ruff. His services
 and fine personal qualities soon made him the favorite with employers and
 employed and he soon was promoted to
 the position of foreman, which he held
 up to the time of his sickness
 Soon after his settling here he joined
 a number of societies and lodges and
 became one of the most popular and
 respected men here. He associated
 himself with the New Haven Turn Yer
 ein and was one of the foremost leaders
 of physical and mental education and
 with the late Wiegand Schlein did
 much to build up the New Haven or garization. For years he filled the po- sition as physical instructor of the Turn
 Verein. He was also a member of Humboldt lodge No. 91, I. o. o. F.; Court Hermann No. s, Foresters; Au
 rora encampment, I. 0. o. F. He was also director of the Odd Fellows home, and the Odd Fellows Mutual Aid association. He was also well known in the higher Odd Fellow circles, hav ing held the position of grand herald in the grand lodge for number of years. Members from those lodges will offici- ate at the funeral.
 All these societies lose with the death of John B. Freysinger a valuable and trusted member who can perhaps not be replaced
 The ladies lodges of the Rebecca de gree will also miss him, as he had been the drill master of Columbia and De- borah lodges for long time He leaves beside the widow Catherine, one son, John B. Freysinger, who is a foreman in Sargent's factory. There are also brother and sister of the deceased in Newark, N. J.. and 1t is expected that they will arrive here in time to attend the funeral. which will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Church of the Re- deemer on Orange street, where the pastor. Rev. Dr. w. l.. Phillips, will a service. Interment will fol low in Evergreen cemetery. Theodore Keller & Son are in charge of the fu- neral.
