fLo PEAKING of the elaborate prep
arations which are being made
~ for the entertainment of Prince
Henry when he lands on Ameri-
can SOIL" said the wife Of a prominent
Treasury Department official at a social
gathering in the northwest part Of town
recently, Il am sure the Prince will
feel anything but CRATE full if he should be
unfortunate enough to learn that our
much advertised opera show in New
York is to be the medium of exhibiting
him to the public at most exorbitant
prices. The -Four Hundred and several
other hundreds, will be there as mat
ter OF course, although we pride ourselves
on our democracy. The opportunity to be
under the same roof with royalty is one
that is cheap at any price, and Joy and
pride to be handed down to posterity. But
will all this impress our royal visitor as
we anticipate? | wot not. for the Prince
is quite a modest and transformations per-
son, and when he travels in his own coun-
try the utmost simplicity is observed.
Why, the public men, the actors and &C
tresses-yes, even the farmers in Amer
ica-travel with more luxurious surround
ings than does Prince Henry on his jaunts
from place to place in Europe!
Il happened to be in Germany three
years ago and sojourned at the Hotel Hill
man In Bremen for several days. One
morning on leaving the hotel for a little
shopping tour l was surprised to find two
sentries stationed at each side Of the
porte cochere. Upon inquiry of the por-
ter as to the occasion for these men of
arms there, / was informed that Prince
Henry had arrived at the hotel the pre-
ylous night. These sentries were the
only evidence Of the royal presence at the

A RTISTS in this city are eagerly
~ awaiting the action which Con-
l \ gress will take on Senator Pen:
roses bill for the establishment
in Washington of a national gallery of art
Though they recognize that the sum asked
for-namely. $500, 000-is very small for
such a purpose, most of them agree that
this would be but the beginning OF
movement which must, eventually, make
this city the art centre of the country,
and one of the great art centres of the
world.
such a result is bound to come in
time" said Mr.. Max Weyl, when seen in
his studio, but l do not expect l shall
live 10 see it. AS it is, there is steadily
growing feeling for. and appreciation OF,
art among the wealthy people OF the
United States.
Moreover, these private collectors are
generous. Ii a national gallery were es-
tablished l feel sure that magnificent be-
quests of works of art from wealthy per-
sons would follow. These people do not
want to give to private institutions, such
+ as the Corcoran Gallery in this city, for
they do not feel that they are giving to
the nation.
The finest works in the Metropolitan
Museum OF Art in New York city were
donated by private parties; as. for in
stance, Rosa Bonheur's masterpiece. The
Horse Fair given by Mr.. Vanderbilt. and
Meissonier's Battle of Wagram, the
donor of which 1 do not now recall
Washington as an Art Centre.
1T is time that the American people
should take pride in the artistic develop
ment of their Capital City. What makes
the great European capitals attractive to
visitors are the galleries of art they con-
tain. Take these from Paris, for in
stance and what is left to attract the
visitor? Washington is not a business
centre. and there is nothing left, in order
to make it the fitting capital of a great
and wealthy nation but TO make it an art
centre. This it is emphatically not, at
present. The first step in this direction
is to establish national gallery of art

sort OF Emperor William himself. Among
things of interest to visitors in this
rathskeller are the great casks, the Rose
dated 1868, and the Twelve Apostles.
The Kaiser keeps a private collection
of rare stems and glasses in this rath-
skeIler, locked in a closet, for his par
ticular use when he visits it. And the
Emperor is quite as democratic as his
brother on the occasions of his visits
He quaffs his wine and loves dearly to
be among those rare old casks and to
enjoy himself in the same way as the
humblest of his subjects.
Wherefore, let us hope that the poor
Prince, when he gets here, will be given
chance for comfort and not be over

These were sent b. another steamer than

Get the Building First.
1T is time that we were falling into
line with other countries in this respect"
said Mr. ]. H Moser. when questioned
as to his views on the proposition of
national gallery.
Never mind appropriating for the
paintings; get the building first and the
rest will follow. Many wealthy persons
in this country have acquired and are &C
quiring magnificent collections, using ex-
cellent judgment and discrimination in
their selections and sparing no expense
to obtain the best that they can get.

Of q splendid national gallery. We have
