ON THE PARIS 'CHANGE.
A Place Among the seventy Costs
About Three Million Francs.

From the Century.
1t may be said that a seat among
the seventy Chey call it a CHARGE costs
about 100000 francs (S600.000 or
sometimes $500, 900, and a charge earns
from to Is per cent. (neO a year, so
that the annual profits are from 100000
to 100000 or more in exceptional years.
But these are usually divided among
several associates, for it rarely hap
pens that an agent is the sole owner
of his seat. More often he has paid
for one-half of it, or a third of it, and
has three or four silent partners who
own the rest and who may again have
subpartners, so that you will hear of a
person owning an eighth of a six
teeenth of a seat, or even thirty-sec-
ond, these being simple investments
that carry no rights or privileges on
the Bourse.
AS to procuring a charge, the thing
has none of the stock exchange SIM
plicity, where the main requirement
for getting a seat is to be able to pay
for it. Here a candidate must be
FTenchman and at least rs years old.
He must have served four years in
certain forms of business. He must be
personally acceptable to the agent
from whom he would purchase the
seat, and often to his family, including
the ladies. He must be passed upon
by the seventy with formal voting, as
if he were joining some select club,
which he is. There must be no stain
on his business record, and no slur on
his personal character. A candidate
was rejected recently for bad habits,
and another for no fault of his own,
but because his brother had been con-
cerned in questionable transactions.
With all this favorably settled there
is still needed the approval of the Min
lister of Finances and the sanction of
the President. This makes it clear
enough why many of the ablest deal
ers on the Bourse have not been MEM
! bers of the parquet but of the coul-
isse. They could not get into the par
quet.

WHAT STAGE CHAIRS TELL.
Alan Dale Says. They Reveal story
of the Play.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
IF you are a seasoned theatergoer'
writes Alan Dale, the widely-known
New York critic, you may possibly
have acquired the art of discovering
the story of play from the style and
disposition of the furniture used on the
stage. 1 can generally get good idea
of what am going to see as l watch
the chairs and tables and sofas and
wisatnots. These mute but convincing
adjuncts of humanity determine many
points, suggest situations and smatter
you unconsciously with an linking Of
the drama to come.
"Manv men and women have ac-
uuired this art without knowing it,
They are not in the least aware of the
certain fact that their minds have been
prepared for certain scenes, by-chairs;
that they have been made ready TO
grope with inevitable complications, by
sofas; that they have been led subcon-
sciously to expect this, or that. by
tables.
For instance, even if I were deaf
mute 1 think l could tell exactly what
would come to pass in handsome
drawing room set of this description;
the stage filled with tiny gold chairs
and gold footstoolS; low backed, gold
trimmed settees standing we'll away
from the wall; a handsome cabinet,
with glass doors, filled with choice bits
of china; no real comfortable piece"
could really sit on and enjoy himself;
a general litter of objects of virtue"
and bigotry; gilt everywhere.
''In a set of this sort, of course, you
know what is going to happen. This is
the train that is laid for the firing off of
epigrams. Smart people, in smart
gowns, will come on and say bright
things. 1t is either in Mayfair, Lon
don, or Fifth avenue, New York. The
host and hostess are rich and am
bilious. Either their son or daughter
is mixed up in some commercial love
affair, or Qf from the French) the hos
tess herself has fallen out of love with
her husband and into love with some
body else's. The people wander among
the gilt chairs and stand by the what
nots. They won't make themselves
comfortable. They hate it. They pre-
fer to prance around and never sit
down.

tie feet from side to side. She will
defy the hero and threaten to make
things lively for him, with French
accent. The playwright wouldn't deem
an adventures worthy of her craft I'M
less she sat on a table.
Chairs simply give the gist of the
play away. There is absolutely no
mistalSing them. When you see one of
those little 'tete-a-tete' arrangements
you know that the comedy juveniles
are on duty. They will sit together
and either f1irt or quarrel. They will
delay the action of the drama itself
in an ecstacy of comic relief. They
never sit on comfortable, substantial
seats because they are under 40. These
little bits of bric-a-brac furniture SYM
bolize youth, which doesn't banker for
material comfort. Substantial, uphol-
stored chairs are the emblems of the
serious, respectable people.
1.-TWO deep leather chairs quilted and
buttoned and placed amid gloomy sur
roundings, represent, respectively, the
hero and his best friend. 1t is in this
kind of chair that they sit while the
hero tells his, trusty ally of his past

and how he now wishes he could for
get it all. A velvet chair wouldn't an
swer the purpose at all. In velvet the
hero would be absolutely non-penitent
and unashamed. Leather brings him
out and leads to confession.
The Ibsen drama is known by a
large stove, painted to resemble porce-
lain lat the side of the stage, and lots
of common little chairs dotted all over
the scene. The chairs are the only
things by means of which you can dis
tinguish an Ibsen play from a morgue.
There are generally two characters
a he and a she-who talk through an
entire act. and the chairs signify their
different moods and furnish the only
action possible. All the furnishings
of the Ibsen plays are identical. AS all
the action is explained in endless con-
versation, the chairs liven things up
a bit. and the stove means something
for the third act that will compel them
to live out their lives alone.

furniture may seem unimportant, but
there is not a theater-goer whose mind
is not unconsciously prepared for the
happenings of the drama by the chairs

most exclusive clubs, and he is held
in high esteem by the financial and
business magnates of this city.
Though now holding a place of
much honor and responsibility and like
ly long to be very prominent before the
public, Gov. Murphy did not devote
much time to politics until he was
approaching middle life. He was po-
litically ambitious when only a young

New York, April 3O.-Should the Hon.
Franklin Murphy, Governor of New
Jersey, become campaign chairman for
the Republicans this year, he will un-
doubtedly follow the example of all
his predecessors and establish head
quarters in New York.
There Will undoubtedly, as in 1900,
be a branch headquarters in Chicago,
where quite as much of the cam
paigns business will be carried on as
here, but, as heretofore, most of the
initiative work, the preparation of the
documents" and the financial work
of the campaign, will be carried on
here.

in America. He took as great delight,
sometimes, in those days in explaining
the points of the various gums, and
waXed as eloquent over the explana-
tons as James j. Hill, the railroad
emperor of the Pacific Northwest, ever
did in talking about diamonds and 9TH
er precious stones.
Another Jerseyman now high in the
public service, who did not do much
in politics until he was near middle
life, is United States Senator John f.
DRYDEN.
Like Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Dryden is
we'll known in New York. Both are
very comfortably off so far as this
worlds goods are concerned, the SEN
ator undoubtedly being richer than the
Governor. Senator Dryden is, indeed,
one of the wealthiest men in all New
Jersey, his wealth being quite big
enough to put him in the multimil-
lionaires class. His road to wealth
lay along insurance lines, as the Gov
errors lay along manufacturing, ana
Mr.. Dryden is as great an expert as
to insurance as Mr.. Murphy is with
regard to gums.
The public has half forgotten it, no
doubt, but ten or a dozen years ago
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Dryden were
stockholders together in a journalistic
venture, each then holding quarter
interest in the Newark Daily Advertis-
er, the oldest newspaper in the United
States west of the Hudson river. From
the date of the Advertisers establish
nent, early in the nineteenth century,
TO the day Messrs. Murphy and Dry
den bought it, the paper had been
owned by the Kinney family. Thomas
f. Kinney, who sold the major part of
his holdings to Murphy, Dryden & Dry
den, and Dryden's business associate,
DR.. Leslie d. Ward. being the son of
its founder.
There is little personal similarity be-
tween Gov. Murphy and Senator Dry
den. The Senator is the older of the
two by several years. He is tall, spare,
and of a severe cast of countenance.
The Governor is shorter, much more
| rotund and inclined to be jolly. That
he will throw every ounce of his ener-
gies into his task in case be becomes
National Chairman there is not the
slightest doubt.

THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE
OF THE ART ASSOCIATION HAD
A MEETING LAST
NIGHT.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS
Were Made by the Different Chair

Display Good.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS

The executive committee of the
Richmond Art association met last
night at the Garfield building.
Mrs. NJ. F. Johnston presided. Sew
eraE committees reported progress.
Prof w. S. Hiser suggested that the
pictures this year should be accom-
panied by some information that
would give the observer assistance IN
getting at their beauty and the prime
object of the artist. This suggestion
was approved, but for fear of max
ING the catalogue too bulky, no effort
will be made to include this infor1na-
ton in that publication. If gath
cred it will be given the public
through the newspapers.
Mr.. Girardin announced that his
committee on local artists would be
composed of the local artists. A COM
munication, in reference to the new
buildings to be erected by the govern
ment at Washington City, in which it
was stated the plan about to be pur-
sued is not in harmony with the
plans Of President Washington and
not IN keeping with the best ideas
Of civic beauty, was read. This com
munication was from the American
Institute of architects. Protests
against this were enclosed and they
will be signed by the officers of the
association and forwarded to mem
bers of congress.
The most important matter to come
up was in reference to the picture
called "The Child of Mary which
is a madonna by Daingerfeld, one of
the greatest things of this kind ever
done in America. The picture is
valued at $4,000 and is very large. 1t
is owned in New York and it will cost
about $40 to secure it for exhibit here
This is a rather large sum to invest in
securing one picture, but, as it would
be the distinctive feature and would
take the place of several others. it
was decided a good thing to do and
the officers of the association will
close up the negotiations. The pic
ture will be given room to itself
and every possible advantage of set
ting and light. It will no doubt prove
strong attraction.
DIR. Stevenson. chairman of the
municipal art committee, reported
that he has an opportunity to secure
