THE "FAKIRS'" CARNIVAL.
The annual Shoe of Syracuse Art
Students.

A glimpse into the modelling rooms of the art
department in the John Grouse College of Fine
Arts, Of Syracuse University, at any time n
month or two just past would have shown them
turned into immense sculptural workshop
in preparation for the annual "Fakirs' =" Carnl-
val of the students hundred students at
various times were working there, devOting all
their spare time in preparation for the show
which is the playtime and good time of the
year in their technical work.
The ''Fakirs'" Carnival is affair where
art and it's accessories used solely for the
entertainment OF participants without being
planned with regard to the educational value
of each particular feature. 1t is held in Syra-
cuse the last week of March
For some years the art students OF Paris and
later the Art Students League of New-York
have been holding their fake" shows, where
the various features of art are caricatured by
the students themselves in all sorts of humOr-
Gus ways. It was from these exhibitions that
the Syracuse carnival took it's first hints when
It started its annual shows five years ago under
the direction OF Carl Tracy Hawley. Every year
the show has grown materially in magnitude
and scope. and Is now SO popular that the large

contain an those who seek to gain admiSsi0n.
For week previous to the carnival there was
an air OF mystery about the building. for nOns
but those having business there were allowed
to witness the last preparations. When finally
the show was opened admission was gained by
the payment OF Is cents to a big. burly
Indian who stOlidIy took the money. refusing
to give back change for sums less than quar-
ter, as advertised It was funny sight to watch
standing in line outside the doors and count
ing out the thirteen pennies they had brought
with them for admission.
Once inside the show there was no lack Of en-
teTtainment 1t was only a question of where to
go and what to do first for there was some
thing doing and something TO see everywhere
College boys and pretty college girls in fancy or
occasion
AS the visitor walked down the corridors and
halls he was struck with surprise at the decOra-
tiOns- Along his way We're large numbers Of
huge pieces of statuary representing original
works Of art and copies of the sculpture OF the
old masters. These had been the work Of the
students for the weeks Just past The figures
were to all appearances of massive bronze. and
only their number and the character OF the GhOg
would have led the observer to suspect them
anything else. They were in reality made en-

The new reporter a woman, and the nrd
who had appeared in the city room OF that pa
per within the memory Of the oldest reporter.
She was a smart looking person OF about thirty
who wore neat. severe, well fitting clothes man
nish boots and gloves, and walked with a swing
that made one invariably look up when sha
passed.
She sat at the next desk to Rice, Q bright
cheeky young fellow from up State who had
been on the paper for year, and SO felt q
right to consider a woman's entrance into the
Office an intrusion Nobody paid much atten-
ton to her for some days. until she was sent
to Rice by the city editor to get Some inturu,a-
ton
The other reporters sat round and watched
Rice explaining things to her. She took II In
rapidly with airy nonchalance which nettled
that young man. When she had assmIated an
the information she thanked him with a pro-
found bow and flashed diamond solitaire IN his
face In a most tmpudent way.
Rice accepted her challenge at once and
touching the ring with his finger. he straightway
raised It to his lips with show OF tasting IL
and made the terse remark:

sternly. but with a twinkle In her ego: MOT

various branches. also fencing, dancing and

tensively and for six seven years it was q

The earnings of the school Louis Lombard in
vested In stocks He was fortunate at most
times in striking the right side of the market
and before long it became known that he was
approaching the class of miIlionaires. His
wealth accumulated SO rapidly that he decided
to retire from the supervision of his school and
II was sold to a stock company comprised OF
the teachers in the faculty Lombard continued
his specuIations in Wall Street for several years
during which time he took number OF trips
abroad. Upon of these trips he made the
acquaintance of a wealthy young widow OF
Boston and before many weeks passed his
friends here received the announcement OF their
marriage
Immediately thereafter he closed out the in
terests which he and his wife held In this coun-
try and they purchased the Castle of Trevano

least one comic opera he wrote and published

THE CASTLE OF TREVANO.
Home Of Utica Teacher Which Cost
Millions Of Francs to Build.
By Deshler WEIGH.

The celebrated Castle of Trevano, on Lake Luz
Eano, on the boundary line Of Switzerland and
ra'y. cost millions of francs to build forty
years ago Botta, architect for Car Alexander,
designed ii, and Vela the sculptor, decorated It.
II was first called the Villa de Russo and
especially constructed for the Baron Won der
Weiss. Of Russia. musical composer who wished
10 eclipse Bayreuth with the glory of a new
temple that should be devoted to both music
and the drama. but his career was tragic; one
Of his partners disappeared: his daughter, who
vas much beloved died from tetanus. and the
baron now bereft Of all that he most cared for,
Sought death on her grave. and they were buried
OF the same day.
Then came General Heinz, also Russian,
WHO sought further to glorify the house of Ire
Vano with a golden wand and artistic device
but he did not live even 70 go through its gates
Then passed twenty silent years; the grasses of
the park grew in confused masses and the vines
ran wild; the castle shone out, with its white
marble walls under the silvery light of night,
Ike huge mausoleum that might be covering
the grave Of great ambition!
Suddenly a bold conqueror of American gold
opened the door Of this fateful castle of music
1t was Louis Lombard, now master Of one hun
cred servants and fortune of as many million
francs! Twenty years ago he was poor music
teacher in the American city of Utica.
As I rode into Lugano 4 few months ago a
companion pointed out the castle Of Trevano to
ne and said: There is where your Louis Lom-
