OF THIS CITY.
FROM THE SUN.

''Rarely can one see a private collee-
ton so intriusicaily worth seeing.
There are only twenty-six pictures,
but the Quality throughout Is high and
In many cases pre-eminent. To cathol-
lefty of tastes has been Joined q very
choice discernmeut, and the selection
in almost every instance suggests not
only a carefully cultivated In stinct for
what Is esthetiealiy fine and worthy,
but also a desire TO possess II for the
pleasure and profit Of Its companion
ship. So with a vigorous and heartfelt
ecIecticism the collector has ranged
from Titan to our own painters, dip
ping, by the way, into the treasures Of
the Barbizon men, and cleaning from
the later harvest of lmpressionism, al
ways with no mere pride of acquisition,
but with the serious desire OF intelIl-
gent and appreciative possession. II Is
In It's way a model of what a small col
lection should be-"
"Without a doubt this Is the most
enjoyable exhibition presented so far
this season, and no n interested In
pictures of varied and first-rate kind
can afford to miss it."

of the most improved design. either by pur-
chase or by construction, under contract or
in navy yards, at a cost not exceeding $780,
900 for all of such boats; provided that not
more than one thereof shall be procured
from, nor built upon the designs of the
same individual or company; and provided
further, that the Secretary of the Navy
shall, before purchasing contra citing for
any boat in accordance here with be satisfied
that such boat is or will be bstantially
more effective as weapon of war than
any of the submarine boats heretofore pro-
cured or now under construction for the
navy.
In the recent hearings of the House COM
mlttee on naval affairs Admiral Bowles
stated that, in his opinion, no further sub
marine boats were necessary at this time
but should any be authorized he suggested
as above, that more than one design of boat
be tried.
Rear Admiral Charles O'NeiI has also
transmitted a statement to the naval COM
mittee on the subject of submarine boats
in which he says:
81 would suggest that, in order to give a
stimulus to the art the sum of 500 COO be
appropriated for the express purpose Of en-
abling the Secretary of the Navy in his
discretion, to contract for or purchase such
submarine or subsurface torpedo boats as
in his judgment are best calculated to meet
the requireme nts of the navy: the object of
such appropriation being to encourage
builders and designers to compete with ca oh
other in the further development of such
craft"
