Congress will not be asked to make

TONS A New York member of congress
will introduce the bill, and will be pre-
pared to back It up with an offer of
100000 as part of the endowment for
the gallery. :N
"A relative of this same congressman
will give valuable art collection and
q large sum of money for the purchase
of examples of Filipino, Mexican, Gu
ban and Porto Rican landscapes
:" But the great glory of the gallery will
be the collection of Mr.. Morgan. The
multimillionaire, now grown old, will
give all his pictures and other works
OF art, with no other stipulation than
that the gallery shall be situated in
Washington. The collection has been
appraised at 100000 and it is declared
to be worth much more even than that
Besides he will furnish enough money

Should congress sanction the gift the
result will be in short time the
greatest gallery of art in the world,
and Washington will become one of the
great art centers of the world. Archi-
tecturally, too, the gallery will be a
classic worthy to rank with the famous
specimens Of architecture to be found

There is one big garden on the West

once inside, -
The garden where vaudeville features
are the attraction is more popular with
the masses than those which offer a

not only a refuge but wife.
Cochran will be a fine example for
the old world of the maxim that "the
republic is opportunity" He came to
New York a broth Of boy, and de-
veloped his muscles and lung power. by
juggling great boxes and bales of dry
goods as a store porter for H. B. Claf-
lin. He went into politics in Tammany
Hail, and betimes made himself known
for certain Mirabeau-like, slowly pas
sfonate oratory that strangely thrilled
the "boys." There was genuineness in
it.
Cochran studied law. He had power
with juries and judges. Power" is the
word; he never gained the repute of a
close student or shrewd juggler of
facts and figures. In a memorable in
stance he was as a capitalist badly
done in financial transaction by
Mr.. William C.. Whitney, who had in
his day been a lawyer and a politician,
too, a corporation counsel of the city
of New York
Tammany was great, dumb, mar
ticulate body, whose mighty limbs
yearned for a voice. Croker saw that
voice in Cochran. But there was more
than voice. He was not one of those
lightweight talking machines who WOO
audiences with melodious phrases and
are easily managed by men behind the
scenes. He was-he is-a numbering

money does not 60 to provide such lux
uries (?). Charitably inclined people
pay the bills, or at least the greater part
of them, though the board of education
furnishes the school buildings free of
cost, and this year contributed 81 900
toward maintaining them. The Civic
Federation originated the idea in 1896:
Since then the women's clubs of the
city have taken charge of them, and
raise the funds for their support. The
teachers either give their services gra-
tuitously or for small price, and so
make it possible to, conduct the six
schools now running through the sum-
me rout Of the $500 that is available.
At the opening of the schools Super
:ntendent w. J. Began was confronted
with more than 5000 applications for
enrolment, while he had accommoda-
ions for but little over 5000 pupils.
He gave the preference to the children
of the Ghetto, believing they needed the
opportunities more than the children
from the better sections of the city, and
in fact it was for'them the schools were
started, the first intention being to con-
fine them to this section entirely.
