rWo PORTRAITS BY HALs.

LONDON, Nov. s.-Ths annual exhibition
of works of art which IN held In the Agnew
Galleries in Bond street for the benefit OF
the Artists General Benevolent Institution
10 this year OF particular interest to Amer
leans, since, az Mr.. Agnew Informs me, the
two most important pictures that II con-
tains will be seen during the present winter
in your Metropolitan Museum OF Art. They
are the portraits Of a Dutch burgher and
his wife by the great Franz Hals, and l
must say, out OF the depths OF a tolerably
comprehensive acquaintance with the works
OF this great master, that 1 know nothing
equal TO them. A examples OF the viriIe
and the magisterial in portraiture there il
nothing that can be compared to then ex-
cept some of the work OF Velasquez as one
sees him at the Prado in Madrid, hut no.
where else.
Will you permit me to quote Mr.. Hum
phrey Ward, whose article in b Ttnes this
morning Is Of exceptional brilliancy. Com
planning Of the misfortune which restricts
the National Gallery to but examples
OF Halls Of minor importance. and depre-
eating tho fact that he directors OF that
institution have missed the chance OF buy
ing at moderate prices worthy specimens
OF the work Of this great man., who may be
called one OF the two founders OF the mod
ern school Of portrait painting, Mr.. Ward
deplores the improbability OF their now
acquiring an important Halls. since thu
prices nave advanced to such Q point that
the trustees would never feel justified in
acquiring one.

Joy such pictures while and when We can.

as they are, are such as any lover OF art,
any student Of painting, can enjoy without
reservation. How full Of life they arel
How the personality Of theo old burglar and
his strong Drained wife stand revealed
How finely graduated are the blacks OF the
costumes! And-a point which people are
apt to forget in looking at q Hals-with
what delicacy Of touch his strong old
painter was endowed The eyes Of the old
lady, for instance, are studied and rendered
with the accuracy Of a Holbein. and there
is not a touch upon them which is out Of it's
place by a millimeter. Il would be well II
our advanced young men and women,
imitators Of Mr.. Sargent or members Of the
New English Club, were TO make q pilgrim
age to the picture OF this venerable dame
and learn row subtle and how laborious
was the woAl by which Franz Halls reached
his great results
These pictures were purchased last sum
mer by Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan from the
Mnisech collection in Paris, and at thec close
OF the Agnew exhibition they will be for
warded to the Metropolitan Museum. where
l doubt very much if they viii not prove
the artistic sensation of the winter. and the
most notable exhibition OF their kind that

where Il Is Always Afternoon.

While the rest Of the country is Tuning
over this or that-the late elections, the
new Cabinet, local affairs, anything
our national capital is setting the exam
pie of a sedate and languid elaboration
which less serene communities would
be wise TO initiate. We others live too
fast. We compress into our days ar
undue violence and energy; we rob our
nights too fiercely Of their restful ST.
lences. In Washington there in the
composure, the imperturbable inertia
Of tropic afternoons. There the lightest
zephyrs Of activity faint by 10 o'clock
A. NJ. With midday luncheon comes
the long, luxurious lethargy Of a stu
pendous, an unreasonable calm. No
noise, no haste, no dishevelling and vul-
gar hustle. The official machinery sleeps
like a dead and crumbling monarch on
his shelf. Living persons pass along
on tiptoe and with suspended breath,

Many weeks ago, through some mys-
FERROUS accident, a locomotive turned
over on its side in the Washington yards
Of the Pennsylvania Railway COMPANY.
As it happened the engineer fell
beneath the vast bulk and lay there
helpless while the escaping steam
slowly but surely boiled him TO a cruel
death. As might have been expected Of
Washington steam, it did its work with
selfrespecting leisure and elaboration.
Naturally, the railway employees rushed

The Conference Of the Twenty-Five.

Inc NOuIcFCuCO VI INV A"Vhey-uNVs
Ever since GEORGE NJ. STEARNs of
Chicopee agreed to address the Democ-
racy Of Vermont if he would assemble in
STEARNs's back yard, the absence of YER
mont Democrats from a party conference
in New England has not compromised it.
Not ever BRADLEY BARLOW SMALLEY of
Jericho, who has been a member of the
Democratic national committee since its
organization, was present at the New
England Democratic conference at a
Boston hotel last Wednesday. And the
list of participants has been scanned in
vain for an old fashioned or old line
Democrat.
Nevertheless, some Of the names are
familiar, including those of Colonel
ALEXANDER TRoUP of New Haven, Mr..
BRYAN's personal representative in Con-
necticut; GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS, Mr..
BRYAN's bosom friend in Massachusetts,
and Colonel ALBION C. DRINKwATER,
the late General Buffers ancient and
the most regular Democrat in Massa-
chusetts. Besides these illustrious Dem
ocrats there was present no other mar Of
notoriety in the party except JOHN B.
MORAN, who is of importance enough TO
have a separate classification, being iso-
lated alike from the old line Democrats
and the new and a candidate who nomi-
mates himself and elects his opponent.
The conference sat behind closed doors
and constituted Colonel TRoUP its ora-
Gle. What is the real idea of the on
ference?- the Colonel was asked after
il was all over. "To form an organiza-
ton said the Colonel solemnly. To
boom BRYAN for President? Perish
the thought! A story put out for the
purpose of dividing the forces that
we're trying to get together" As there
were only twenty-five of them, it was a
malefic plot to seek to set them by the
ears. The proposal to formulate a plat
form had been voted down, and it was
resolved to postpone for a year consider
alton of a candidate for President. The
twenty-five did, however, discuss with
great spirit direct legislation, initiative
and referendum and Government owner
ship OF public utilities. 1t was further
and finally resolved that the public be
educated. Colonel TRoUP withheld par
~ticulars, but he confessed that in twentys
four hours he would start for Lincoln to
spend three days with its first citizen.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-11-21

the wrecking apparatus others gathered
about the overturned engine and inaug-
urated an attempt to lift it by the aid Of
Jacks" There needed only a few inches
to enable them TO drag the engineer
from beneath the crushing weight and
away from the murderous steam. They
might have failed, though most OF them
think otherwise; but no one will v e
know to a certainty, for about this time
the unseemly disturbance aroused the
indignation Of the municipal police, who
at once suppressed the abominable
uproar. They drove the yardmen away
from the engine and once more proved
Washington's proud boast OF the peace
that pssseth all understanding.
Naturally the railroad men COM
planned of this alleged interference, for,
OF course, the engineer died under the
locomotive in due course Of time, and
80 the Washington newspapers have
during the last even or eight weeks
annoyed their readers with accounts of
the progress of the investigation set on
foot by the Washington authorities.
Nothing seems to come Of It, however,
nor does anybody seem to expect a
practical result. The police who drove
the railway yardmen away from the
engine have offered the perfectly digni-
fed explanation that the jacks could
not have lifted the engine, and that
therefore the yardmen were making
a scandalous and unnecessary noise.
The Washington authorities, as any n
must see, have no reply to this virtually
impregnable postulate, and are very
wisely saying nothing. 1t cannot be
proved that the jacks could have enabled
the yardmen to save the engineers life.
Why, then, rufie the serenity OF the
Washington mind by pursuing an I'M
profitable discussion? The man is dead.
and has been very neatly and cordially
buried. Is it necessary, is it wen decent,
to perpetuate an agitation which can
serve only to distract and irritate the
public conscience?
This is merely an isolated instance, but
It sufficiently illustrates the relations Of
the Government to the governed in our
proud and stately national capital. Later
on, when the SHOWS begin to fall, then
melt, and later on to freeze-as happens
often every winter in the town Of Wash
ington-we shall have other and still
more convincing evidences of the i'm
perturbable tranquility Of the authori-
ties and the serene philosophy Of the
tax paying public under any and all
imaginable vicissitudes. Nobody med
dies with the ice. Why should mere
man array himself against the majestic
processes of nature? Providence covers
the roadways and the sidewalks with a
hard and slippery carpet. Providence
in it's good time will remove the vista
ton. The sun will shine, the tempera-
ture will rise, and in due time the skating
places will change into expanses OF dirty
slush. Eminent citizens will slip with
g~rotesque violence, break their mor or
less important homes, and so on. But
who are they, that they should presume
TO challenge the evolutiOus of an inscrut-
able arrangement?
Washingtonians are blest. They say so
themselves. Why not let it go at that?
