THE SCENE PAINTER.
He Plays an Important Part In stag
ing q Hodera Play.

He Plays an Imporsant Part In star.
ing . Hodern Play.
When play has been accepted for
production it is sent to the scene paint
er, who goes over 1t carefully, taking
note OF all details to be reproduced.
Then, II the subject is difficult, he
makes a sketch Of it I'm the nat. II
this proves satisfactory to manager,
actor and author, he builds it up in a
miniature model on the scale Of half
an inch to the foot as perfect in pro-
portion and exquisite I'm detail as the
finished scene. An old gentleman hate
ly, looking over collection OF models
in one of the New York studios, re-
marked that hfs granddaughter would
be delighted to have them for doll
houses. The proprietor of the studio
smiled to himself. The models for q
single play cost well up toward thou
sand dollars. For an ordinary four act
comedy the models, scenes, properties
and costumes cost, let us say, five or
six thousand dollars. The cost of the
great scenic productions is never rs
much as the press agents say, but has
been known to exceed 100000.
When the model Is approved, the
stage carpenter takes measurements
for such framework as may be neces-
sary. The clumsy construction of the
old days has given way to the solidest
sort Of building. Windows slide in
their sashes; doors slam, shut and lock.
Staircases are solid to the tread. Trees
arc built up In the round, and columns
are turned out of solid wood. But as
every show is intended to travel among
all the great cities Of the continent the
heaviest scene must be made up Of
pieces short enough to be packed in a
freight car.
The scene painter marks out the
pieces of his model in tiny squares and
then hangs huge canvas beside
the paint bridge with corresponding
squares in scale. The craftsman stands
on the bridge with piece Of charcoal
on stick like billiard cue and
square by square copies the lines Of the
model. while an assistant raises and
lowers the cloth with tackle. Then
the body paint is put on, and the de-
tails are added until the cloth is COM

HERMIS WAS CENTER OF
ATTRACTION IN PADDOCK.

Hermis was the center OF attraction in
the paddock before the race. As soon as
the third race was run, a crowd surged
from the betting ring to the paddock to
get glimpse of the candidates for the
big stake. Hermis occupied stall No. Z
and It was impossible to get within fifty
feet of the entrance, so great was the
crowd about the Eastern horse.
He was not led out OF the paddock like
the other horses, but remained In charge
Of Trainer Shields and the attendants un-
til the mounting bell was rung Standing
in front OF the paddock all the time was
Hermis's stable companion. Green Morris,
pony who accompanied him on his trip
from NeY York.
E. R. Thomas owner OF Hermis reached
the paddock almost tas soon as the at
tendants led the great horse in. He
stepped into one corner of the stall and
remained there until the horse left. He
then hurried to the clubhouse to witness
tho race.
Colonial Girl occupied stall No and
received the next number of visitors be-
fore the race. Trainer Rowe stood by her
while the attendants were rubbing her
down. When asked by bystander If he
thought she had a chance to win, he
meekly replied: II cannot say, but
know she will try awful hard"
Sam Hldreth's marc, witfuIl, who re-
ceived good play, was the next one Of
the candidates to receive attention. A
crowd gathered about her stall while she
was being saddled. and as she was leaving
the stall for the race, negro remarked:
Il got hunch she'll win"
Many OF Tom Hayes's friends gathered
about Gold Heels to look at the horse.

There will be several changes in tho

Gossip has. been busy with the possible
retirement of Horace Porter, American
Ambassador at Paris; Jose5h Choate
American Ambassador at London anu
Mr.. Mccormick, American Ambassador at

be changes In these posts. 1t is not con-
stdered likely that Mr.. White or Mr. Low
would either Gaze to be Ambassador to
Mexico. Mr.. Meyer has been expected to
retire for some time, II having been sug-
gested that President Mckinley expected
him to remain at Rome only a year, but
that there was any such arrangement has

MANY FAIR PASSES
MAY BE RESCINDED
National Commission Would
Have Sweeping Revision of
Rules on Issuance of Free
Admission to the Fair.

II the views of the National Commis-
sion of the Worlds Fair upon the ques-
tion OF the issuance of passes prevail,
many persons who have hitherto had the
courtesy of free admission to the Louisis'
ana Purchase Exposition will be forced 20
hand over half a dollar at the turnstile
of the big show. All the pass books will
be good for will be as a souvenir.
At meeting of the National Commits
sion yesterday afternoon. it was decided,
after a three hours discussion of the mat
ter. that there should be sweeping mod
lfcation in the rules and regulations gov
erning the issuance of passes.
7. H Carter. President of the National
Commission. stated yesterday that it is
quite probable that havoc will be created
with many of the passes which have so
far been issued.
The modified rules" said Senator Car
ter, will call for the cancellation Of all
passes issued to persons not fairly en-
titled to the courtesy or privilege under
the rules and regulations. The commits
sion takes the grounds that the Govern
ment's interests as a contributor to the
Fair and as a money lender to the enter
prise is such as to warrant its interfer-
ence In the matter Of unrestricted issue
OF free admissions to the ground.
Persons entitled to passes under the
modified rules will be the chief officers Of
the Government of the United States, rep
resentatives of foreign countries and OF
the States and Territories and Districts
making exhibits and the employees of the
exhibitors and concessionaires. Duly ac-
credited press representatives will be ac-
corded free admission. but unrestricted
Issuance of passes to applicants will not
be permitted"
The commission will have another meet
ing tomorrow TO discuss the subject. The
matter will be passed up to the ENpcsi-
ton company, which will more than Likely
follow out the idea of the commission.

MAN TELEPHONES WINNER;
is NABBED BY POLICE.
Authorities Believe That Scheme to
Lay "Dead Sure" Bets on Worlds
Fair Handicap Was Attempted.

While telephonlng the winner Of the
Worlds Fair Handicap to friends in New
York. it is said, Edward Smith, a stranger
In st. Louis. was arrested yesterday after
noon at No. 4159 Warne avenue by Special
officers Lohbeck and Biggio. Smith is
charged with idling. He will be sent TO the
Police Court. No other charge can be
placed against him.
According to the officers who made the
arrest, Smith had been telephoning the re-
suits of races to New York by long-dis-
tance- telephone. They say that he had di-
rect connection with that city after the
handicap had been run. His friends. they
claim, could receive the result of the race
about ten minutes before II arrived IN that
city by telegraph.
When arrested, Smith was equipped with
a powerful pair of field glasses. The ad-
adress on Warne avenue is near the Fair
Grounds. and with the glasses he could
get the results of the races from the bull
letin board. The police say that dead
sure" bets could be placed on the st. Louis
races in New York through this method.
