COAL BARGE
FIRE AT SEA.
Columns of Smoke Five Miles
Off Shore Startled People at
Atlantic City.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga tall col
m of smoke five miles off shore
impelled observers at Atlantic City
yesterday afternoon to guess that a
steamship was afire. The conjecture
got t o this city as a fact and it was
in print when the report came up the
coast thai the burning vessel was the
coal barge Baker, owned by the
Powelton Barge Company of 20
Broadway.
The Baker passed out at Sandy
Hook on Wednesday with another
barge in tow of the ocean tug Sea
King, bound south for coal. The
skipper of the Sea King took off the
Bakers crew after they had made a
vain effort to put out the blaze and
then sent word of the accident to the
barge company. The Absecon life
saving crew, after a long and tire
some row, got to the Baker and found
her burned to the waters edge and
the Sea King not in sight.
The Baker was named for the sec
rotary OF the barge company. She
was built in Norway thirty years ago
and was originally the bark Ariel.

THE HOTEL DE CRiLLON.
Palatial Structure in Paris with an
Exterior of Surprising
Magnificence.

No seignorial residence in Paris can
rival the Hotel de Crillon, belonging to
the ducal family of Crillon-Polignac, in
the magniicence of its exterior, says
Camille Gronkowski's Historical Pal
aces of Paris in Century.
One may say that its location is unique
in the world. From its wide balcony,
arranged as a terrace, and between the
tall Corinthian columns of the facade,
one sees the whole of the Place de la
Concorde. formerly the Place Louis
XIV, the largest square of Paris. with It's
solemn lines of arrangement, its vistas
broken by the noble river which curve
between two lines of poplars, whence
emerge the roofs of the last palaces
along the Quai d'Orsay; then. farther
off, the slender and lace-like spire of the
Sainte Chapelle and the violet towers of
Notre Dame.
To the left there is a sea of verdure
enRmeled with white statues-the old
royal park of the Tuileries. In front is
the heavy mass of the Palais Legislatif,
with it's Greek front; then the old Hotel
de Bourbon-Lassay, where the presi-
lent of the chamber of deputies resides,
and beyond the ministry OF foreign af-
fairs, where the government of the re-
public lodges the sovereigns who come
to visit Paris. Finally, to the right are
the Champs Elysees, that magnificent
avenue which rises like an apotheosls
to the Arch Of Triumph-which is an
nounced. moreover, directly in front Of
our building by the colossal groups from
the hand of Coustou, which were
brought from the Chateau de Marty at
the time of the revolution.

LIBBIE ~CARRABRANT
IN STRICT SECLUSION.
Liberated Life Convict Amazed by
the Sights of the WOrId--Sees
First Trolley.

TRENTON, Dec. 22:-Safe from
prying eyes and the onslaught of re-
porters eager to get her story, Libbie
Garrabrant is enjoying her liberty,
after thirty-four years in state pris-
on, in strict seclusion. The secret of
her whereabouts is sedulously guard
ed and from the moment she left the
gates of the penitentiary in a cab last
night her movements have been kept
a secret.
1t is learned that the woman is
slowly improving in health, a bene-
fetal effort being noticed soon after
she left the prison. 1t is also said
that she is usually cheerful and is
eagerly looking forward to the time
when she: will be able to revisit the
scenes of her girlhood in Paterson.
She wants to drop out completely
from the gaze of the public. She in
sists on being allowed to live in alb
solute quiet for the remainder of her
life.
Miss ~Garrabrant's first glance of
freedom, taken through the small
window of a moving carriage, was
most interesting. For the first time
in her life she saw trolley cars, auto
mobiles and other evidences of pro-
gress unheardof when she entered
prison. She kept repeating to her
friend in the carriage: ooh, it seems
too good to be true; it seems too good
to be true. How good God has been
to me and how kind all my friends
and the nuhlic press have been!"

TRAVELLING ART GALLERIES.
General "Fed' Cultivates Taste by
Sending Pictures to Isolated
Places.

1t has been repeatedly asserted that
this country a class must be created
that knows what art is. The General
Federation of Women's Clubs is trying
to do this, says the New York Tribune,
by means of its travelling art @alleries,
which. in addition to reproductions OF
pictures, contain samples OF artistic
wall papers, charts for landscape gar
Idening and specimens of artistic furni-
ture.
ps9F their gallery by compiling a book
of quotations suitable for responses al
club luncheons. This gallery they sent
out to clubs in small towns and cities
where good reproductions of the mas
terpieces of art are seldom seen, and
where even nature, thanks to the de
facing hand of man, has no beauty to
satisfy the longings of the soul. The
library has pictures for sale, and its
visits to a town usually means that
many glaring chromos have to give
place to works of art. The work has
now grown to such proportions that
the state has appropriated large sums
OF money for its support, and the gal
leries are now virtually under state
control.
Texas has a most successful travel
ing art gallery, and the federation pays
"a lecturer to accompany it.
Chicago and other large cities have
not only reproductions of paintings

japan, in driving Russia back from
the Pacific Ocean and leaving her
with only Vladivostock, has defeated
tue ambition of the great White Cars.
which has burned in their breasts for
centuries 1t was the aim of Peter
the Great to give Russia seaports on
the high seas, where navigation could
be maintained all the year round.
Vladivostock is frozen up half the year.
IL can never be commercial port.
Russia has ports upon the frozen seas,
hut except for her hold upon the BlaoL |,
Sea, she has never fulfilled Peter S
wish. She was getting near to it in
the Liao- tuDg Peninsula. Port Arthur
would in time have been of untold
value. Her control over Korea would
have also been in this general direc.
tion. But now all of these places are
wrested from her, aud she is driven
back TO almost the identical position
in which Peter left her. The Japs
