COOPER UNION MUSEUM.
Founded by the Misses Hezcitt,
Granddaughter of Peter Cooper.

Visitors who have gone more than once to the
Cooper Union Museum for the Arts of Decora-
ton may have noticed two quietly dressed
women who always seemed busy some case
of art objects among the piles of encycIO-
paedic scrapbooks in which the museum pr
serves so much valuable material Sone Of the
visitors were artisans hunting for something
they unable to find, though the museum is
plain open book. so well is it
ranged and labelled. They were surprised at
the willingness with which one or the other OF
these came to their assistance. The
missing object was located at once, and likely
not to the visitor was told something in
teresting about that particular exhibit given
reference which would help him in studying it.
The man who founded this museum knew
what he was about didn't he?" declared deco
rator the other day when in a book of engrav-
ngs he upon the idea for which he had
long been searching. They really seem glad to
have you come here and are always ready 70

Cooper knew what workers needed -

The other nodded and the decorator whistIed
softly. And she took an interest in me-" he
exclaimed.
Yet it Peter Cooper's idea, after all. As
Miss EIinor Hewitt said the other day: "Our
grandfather realized the possibilities of a mu-
scum like this, and he had planned to add it to
the equipment of the Union. He would have
founded it had he lived a little longer 1t has
given my sister and myself great pleasure to
carry out his ideas in this regard and in his
memory"
We were in Paris with my father in 1897
when the idea came to US said Miss Sarah
Cooper Hewitt, who has been made officer OF

lies in the power of influential and widely
circulated newspaper to contribute more toward
the poisoning OF the minds OF one peop. against
another than be undone by years of state
craft and diplomacy. As It demonstration of the
truth of their assertion they point to the fact
that several recent wars have been brought
about by popular sentiment aroused and engen-
dered by foreign newspaper correspondents.

HISTORIC PECK SLIP.
Where a New Pier is Being Built for the
New Haven Line.

Where a New Pier is Being Built for the
New Haven Line.
The historic Peck Slip in New York
is to be forsaken as landing place to-
day to make way for a new pier. To-
day the New Haven line, whose steam
ers have docked there since the line was
organized in 1918, will begin to dock at
pier 40 North river. The Connecticut
River line, the steamers of which have
locked there for more than two score
years, will also dock elsewhere until the
new pier is completed. The name Peck
Slip has become closely allied with the
history of these two old lines. 1t re-
ceiyed its name from a man early con-
nected with the New Haven line, the
father of Richard Peck, after whom the
Well known sound steamer as named.
Richard Peck, who died in April, 1900,
was the superintendent of the line.

the patriotic enthusiasm of all who see

beautiful, the chorus is large, well
drilled, well voiced and the feminine
portion very pretty, and whenever it

success. At the end of the second act,

stands of colors, all go to make up
picture that is positively thrilling.

when they began their career of crime
to the time when Jesse was shot down
by Bob Ford, former member of his
