Ars Tonga, Vita Brevis.

Washington thoroughly agrees with Hip
pocrates that art Is long. life is short"
1t has had many experiences to demon
strate this truth. Its present unfinished
state is evidence. Congress has been a
perennial proof of the fact that the SYM
bols of culture are the product of weary
processes of planning and execution.
Otherwise there would long. long ago have
been a full equipment of handsome pub
lie office buildings. a Supreme Court house.
an office for the President in keeping with
the executive dignity, and a park develop
ment commensurate with the original
plans. The capitals water front would
decades ago have been reclaimed from its
sad state of slovenliness and transformed
into a region of beauty as we'll as eco
nomic utility. The southern side of Penn
sylvania avenue would have been rescued
from Its disfguring conditions and given
an aspect in keeping with the most Ia
nous thoroughfare in the western hemis-
phere. Washington would indeed have be-
come years ago a city of splendor and
artistic finish.
Just now comes to attention an instance
of the longevity Of art and the brevity
Of life which inspires reflections upon the
difficulty with which the capital city is
struggling toward its goal of greatness
Nineteen years ago Gen. P. H. Sheridan
died. and the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland Immediately started a move
ment looking to the erection in this city
of a statue of him. The following year,
1889. Congress appropriated funds for this
purpose and provided for the appointment
of commission to take charge of the
work. After the usual delays sculptor
was named to execute a certain design
This was in 1892. The sculptor prepared
model which won the approval of the
commission, but later he conceived dis
like for his own work and destroyed it,,
starting in upon another. That was event
ually brought to a stage OF completion
sufficient to call for final inspection. but
it did not please the soldiers widow, and
out of Difference to her the commission
withheld it's Endorsement. There is no hur-
rying an artist. There Is furthermore little
use In taking exceptions to his likenesses.
Thus the Sheridan statue situation reached
deadlock stage, in which it rested for
some years. Now the commission has
broken the deadlock by canceling the Or
der and preparing for new artistic COM
petition. If the second enterprise is no
more speedily pressed than the first. Wash
ington may still be without a statue of
Sheridan in 1926. By that time probably
every one of the famous cavalryman's old
soldier followers will have passed away
living. 1t would be gratifying to have at
least one survivor of the Shenandoah val
ley campaign present at the unwilling.

Passing of the Parlor.

1t is alleged that the parlor is nearing
extinction. The Louisville Courier-Journal
says:
the passing, of the 'parlor In times past
no home was complete without this prIm
chill place. 1t consisted of stiff furniture
that rarely used pictures that were
seldom seen and an atmosphere that was
conducive to discomfort and discourag1ng
to hospitality
Commenting on this the New York Herald
says:
We are glad to learn from our esteemed
contemporary that the 'parlor' kept in cold
storage for company Is being crowded
out Of the old Kentucky home. There are
so few 'parlOrs' OF the old type left in
this part of the country that some museum
should hasten to secure one before the
last shall have disappeared"
These editors seem to glory in the de-
cline of the parlor because 1t will add a
comfortable room to the house. Here
speaks the spirit of the age-the desire to
please the senses.
The parlor was never designed for COM
fort, but for discipline and trial. Ii was
place In which to exercise manners,
where one should sit bolt upright In his
chair with both feet on the floor, knees
together and hands in repose loung-
ing attitude or fidgety ways were not per-
mitted in the parior. 1t was the place for
careful meditation Of the voice, discreet
observations and correct conversation. The
parlor was no fit place for unconstrained
laughter or mirthful jest. man who
would tell a joke in the parlor would be
considered most unsafe company.
The parior was a fine place which
to keep persons one did not know or like

PORTUGUESE BACK
FROM THE COAST

L. S. Alvers, known to all baseball
fans as Soares, who was behind the bat
for the H. a. C.'s last season, return
ed from San Francisco by the Sierra
yesterday. after an absence of nine
months.
II came back on the advice of a ply
stefan that needed a warmer climate %
said Alvers yesterday. Il caught a Sc
we're cold after playing bali in San
Jose three weeks ago, and it settled on
my lungs. The doctor told me I had
better get to a warmer climate.
Quite a number of Portuguese who
formerly lived in the islands also came
back on the Sierra, and 1 know that
several families are returning on the
Alameda. The reason most of them are
coming back is that they find condi-
tions so bad and the cost of living so
high on the Coast that they think they
are better off here. A great many
trades and callings are demoralized by
the strikes, and when I left there was
talk of strikes in still other trades. 1t
is true that wages are comparatively
high in nearly all employments, b1
the cost of living is also very high
Not only is rent high, but groceries are
high, fruit is high, everything that you
eat and wear is high. Fifteen dollars
week for a single man is nothing,
and a married man can not possibly
live on $40 a week. Rents are some
thing awful.
81 met a great many who had for
merly lived here while I was on the
Coast Some of them wished they were
back here or were preparing to come
back. Others were satisfied where they
were. Over on the east side of the Bay
at San Leandro, Haywards, Niles and
San Jose Mission, there are az great
many Portuguese who used to live
here. Some of them are engaged in
gardening, others in fruit growing; a
good many on street work and that sort
of thing in Oakland and other places
nearby. Still others are employed in
various trades in San Francisco and
Oakland.
Twelve Portuguese returned by the
Sierra today, 1 believe. L knew some
of them before I met them on the
steamer, and some of them I didn't.
I know certainly of four families who
are coming back on the Alameda. There
may be more, but / don't know or
more"

ter which a few remarks were made by
Superintendent Rabbit.
Like the rest of the singing, the boys
chorus showed remarkable amount of
training. The enunciation was perfect
and the attack, together with the ton
alitv, certainly did Mrs. Yarndley signal
credit.
