WAS TwEED's BANQUET HALL
The once famous Tweed banquet
hall in the basement OF the New York
room for the city record office. When
Tweed owned the city government he
would sometimes give secret banquets
to the aldermen and other city officers.
These mysterious features took place
in a big room in the basement, into
which no prying eye could pierce and
from which no sound could reach list

Among them were the Duke OF Newcas-

GAVE UP HIS ART TO
JOIN THE JESUITS
Decoration of st. Johns Reveals
Strange Story.

NEW YORK. March 16.-Visitors and
students attending services yesterday in
the chapel OF the Jesuit Fathers az St
Johns College. Fordham. expressed their
delight with the beauty and artistic ex-
cellence OF several new paintings on the
ceiling shown for the first time.
To the majority of those present the
identity OF the artist was unknown. With
bowed head and humble demeanor a
man modestly cled in black. with a
clean shavep. spiritual face. knelt during
all OF the service and never once raised
his head to admire that which excited
praise from those about him. He was

which ne ia registered at the college. In
private life he is Francis c. Schroem.
Across his life a shadow OF sadness was
cast in early manhood. which changed
the course which he had set out for him
self as AZ artist.
Just what this was he declines % say.
At the age OF forty he turned to religion
for consolation and became a lay broth
er in the Order OF Jesuits. His aptitude
for painting has made him valuable
servant in the order. Three months ago
it was noted by the president OF the
college that the pretty chapel was in
need OF being redscorated.
Brother Schroem volunteered 10 do the
work lie had never done anything so
ambitious at Fordham. although II was
said that at Georgetown University.
Washington. d. C.. he had executed
much beautiful work.
4 little more than a month ago he
started to beautify the ceiling. He
worked alone in the solitude OF the chapel
while the college was in session, and
had free rein for his fancy. His drawing
was all free hand.
In the center OF the ceiling he painted

and secured a farm OF twenty-three
acres in Colorado short distance from

The visions of riches faded away. and
as Jansen met with Indifferent success.

not forthcoming TO make the trip West

the distant ranch for the wife and three
children.
a few weeks ago Janssel learned of
