Art in New York.

From the New York Evening Post. 1o-
If an intelligent foreigner returning from
an American trip We're asked which city is
the true art center OF the United States,
the chances are that he would answer Pill
adeiphia or Pittsburg. AS against series
or small exhibitions. none of great interest,
IN new YORK. he would recall the WELL
filled galleries of the Pennsylvania Acad-
envy and of the Carnegie Institute. in which
We're shown not only the best of American
but also or European art. 1t was probably
these facts which that vivacious baronet
and painter, Sir Philip Burne-Jones had i'm
mind when he left to his New York col
leagues a parting counsel to establish an
academy, or. failing that. a fedora ton for
exhibition purposes of the various art So
cieties.

C. E. LANNING's DEATH.
Washington Man Expired at Columbus,
Ca, on His Birthday.

The Columbus (Ga) Ledger Of April s
contains the following account Of the death
In that city Of C. E. Lanning of Washing
ton:
Mr. c. E. Lanning, who had been a guest
of the Rankin House for nearly week,
died there at o'clock this morning from
gastrits and Inflammation of the stomach.
Mr.. Lanning, who registered at the hotel
from Washington, D. c.. last week, was
apparently very delicate man. and on Fri
day morning the bell boy at the hotel re-
ported to the Office that he was sick in his
room. Mr.. Reid at once went in to see him.
and finding him quite sick. at once called
in DR.. Gill, who gave him some medicine
and took charge of the case, attending as
siduously to the sick man all during his i'll
ness. Yesterday he appeared to be some
better. but last night the man who en-
ployed by the MeSsrs. Reid to look after
him noticed a change, and this morning at
O'Clock the end came, despite all that
could be done for him
Mr.. tanning was an agent or employe of
the law firm of Harvey. Spalding & Sons of
= aShington, D. c., and his business here,
AS far as could be learned. was to look up
titles to land and other real estate. He was
taken sick so soon after his arrival that
little could be learned of his private affairs
or his business, but papers found in his
pocket indicated that he stood high with
the firm he represented. When it was seen
yesterday by Mr. Reld that Mr.. Lannfng
was evidently worse, DR.. Gill was requested
to call another physician in consultation,
and Dr. Wylie was called in Both ply
sicians did all they could for the sick man.
and as stated above they thought his condi-
ton had improved very much. He was
given every possible attention. both by the
physicians and the hotel people, and a spe-
cal nurse was with him day and night
sad coincidence about his death was
mat II occurred on his birthday. he being

Dried Vegetables.
From American Medicine

TOM american Medicine.
II IS curious that the desiccation of Gull
nary vegetables is so neglected in view OF
the universal use of dried fruits from pre-
historic times. Experiments made in Ger
many and California have demonstrated
that desiccated vegetables suffer no loss of
nutriment and remain savory and whole
some Here is a splendid opportunity for
the utilization and conservati ton of notatoes
beets, parsnips. cabbage and the like at the
season of their greatest abundance and in
years of overproduction. While 1t NAV not
pay TO can such vegetables 1t would be a
boon to many If they were put on the mar
ket dried The South Carolina experiment
station has proved that sweet potatoes can
be preserved for years, with unimpaired
quality, by boiling, slicing and drying them,
ana that the process is as simple and mex
pensive as cooking them for immediate use.

something amiss with the educational sys-

aesthetic side of child nature. the inculcat-

saddest aspect of this depressing incident

Deprived OF . Scat in the Convention.
Although He Held Proxy Of Delegate
Buchanan and His Friends Leave
the Hall and He May Not Preside Again.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Sept 25.--In the midst
OF babel Of curses and threats the morning
session OF the annual convention OF the
International Association Of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers broke up at noon.
To prevent bloodshed and free fight, the
president. Frank Buchanan, raped strongly
with his gavel and shouted above the din:
"The meeting stands adjourned" and then
he and his friends left the hall without a
vote upon adjournment and without a
time being set for reassembling.
The convention met again at 2 o'clock with
Warden. the second vice-president, Parks
man, In the chair. President Buchanan
went to his room at the Coates Hotel and
remained there. He said this afternoon
that he would not return to preside over
the convention unless the delegates would
promise to behave.
The fight this morning was over the seat
ing Of Daniel Brophy, an enemy OF Parks.
This afternoon the Parks crowd defeated
him by an overwhelming vote.
1t Is a wonder there was not bloodshed,
because when the convention adjourned
this morning Sam Parks, the fighting walk
ing delegate, had his coat of and his fol-
lowers were around him ready for anything
he might begin.
Brophy is Canadian bridge builder who
vent 70 New York year ago and Joined
victed and sent to Sing Sing prison, Brophy
declared against him, and when Parks was
released and returned to New York to as
sumo the reins OF government In the union
Brophy fought him.
The Parks crowd made II so warm for
Brophy that he had to 60 to Scranton
to get work. Brophy came to this conven-
delegate elected by the Scranton union.
Parks and his crowd declared that Brophy
must not be seated In the convention.
Brophy declared that he had legal right
to be seated and that he would be seated.
The row between Brophy and the Parks
crowd began as soon as they came to town
and has continued at intervals. Twice
Brophy has been surrounded by the Parks
crowd and has drawn his pistol to protect
himself. The first occasion was in the
Coates Hotel The second time was this
afternoon outside the door Of the hall
where the convntion is meeting.
A crowd backed Brophy into a corner
and was about to attack him when he
drew his revolver and said:
Boys, III fight you one or two at time
with my fists, but when you try to gang me
III use the gun"
Sam Parks was asked this morning about
the report from New York that because OF
his Endorsement by the convention $40 00O,-
900 worth of projected building operations
In New York would cease. He grinned and
said: IF Sam Parks don't die soon, the
entire building operations OF the country
will cease"

American Bridge Company Makes Trouble
for Employers Association.


The action of the international conven-
ton Of structural iron workers at Kansas
City in reinstating Sam Parks's House,
smiths and Bridgemen's Union is making
trouble in this city.
Otto M. Eidlitz. chairman Of the board
of governors Of the Employers Associa-
ton, has the contract for the Hotel Bel
mont at Forty fourth street and Park
Avenue and for the big building at Broad
way and Duane street. The iron work
he has subet to the American Bridge Com
pany
The latter concern has an agreement
with the Housesmiths and Bridgemen's
Union expiring April 80. 1904, by which
only members Of that union shall be en-
ployed. On the other hand, the Employers
Association decided not to recognize, d.
rectly or indirectly. the Housesmiths and
Bridgemen's Union and has officially recog-
nized the Housesmiths' Union of New York.
In the meantime work has been idle on
these buildings for several months and there
is no immediate prospect Of it's starting up.
representative Of the American Bridge
Company said to a Sun reporter yesterday:
AS the Housesmiths and Bridgemen's
international body, and it has not violated
the agreement with U.S. we cannot employ
any members Of the new union. The En-
poyers' Association cannot dictate to us
az to the men we may. employ. We shall
keep our contract. We have thousands
of tons of iron stored up for this work. and
1t is possible that the Ial contract or
may elect to buy II and carry out the con-
tract himself. In that case there would
be other matters to consider with which
the public is not concerned"
The contract with the Housesmths and
Bridgemen's Union was signed about Nav
