CHASE TO WITHDRAW
IN HENRPS FAVOR

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Wnlam n.
Chase, academician and founder Of the
Chase Art School, has decided to with
draw his name and interest from tbs
school and make way for Robert Henri.
Mr.. Chase has been long associated
with the school, He teaches now in the
Philadelphia Academy and the Art
Students League. to which be has but
recently returned. He has completely
severed his connection with the school
which bore his name. but which is now
known as the New York School Of Art,
at Eighteenth street and Broadway.
Robert He - is also an academician,
and, though, he is almost twenty years
Mr.. Chase's Junior, has won distinction
on two continents. through the new
movement" in art, for which his phil
OsOphy is responsible.
Four years ago, while Mr. Chase's
school was at the zenith of its success.
he established Mr.. Henri as successor
to Frank Vincent DumOnd in the life
portrait composition classes. It was not
long before the potency OF Henris in
fluence was felt among the students.
Those who had looked to Mr.. Chase for
stimulation and advice soon began 10
absorb Henris independence. The lat
ter's classes increased until a majority
for the younger man took the whole
school by storm, and Mr. Chase sudden
Iy decided that the Art Students League,
which had hitherto been a rival school,
was waiting with open arms TO welcome
its pioneer instructor back again.
Left to himself with the pupils who
loved and believed in his ideals, It was
not long before Henri swept the hoaSe-
hold goods OF the Chase school from
their pedestaIs and firmly established
the new regime.
When seen yesterday at HIS studio on
Fifth avenue, Mr.. Chase spoke Of the
change without bitterness.
In my last talk at the school, before
returned to the league" he said, 1
warned the students who still leaned
TO my way of thinking that there was
danger in misJaking violence for
strength, vulgarity for caricatUre. and
that such mistakes could not lead to
triumph IN art The old masters we're
strong yet delicate. humorous without
oifeDse TO the eye. That is the secret

Stopping the Panic.

It may be that~by this time Presi-
dent Roosevelt has seen the force Of
Mr.. Dooley's remark that the truth
can be rubbed too hard into the
people.
Anyhow, the President has put on
his hat and coat, so to speak, and
jumped into the street to head of
the financial runaway. That, in eff
feet. is what he has done by approx
ing the issue of S5O,OOO,OOO in Pan
anna bonds and 100000, 900 in United
States Treasury notes of indebted
ness. The Panama bonds viii be
available forthwith as a basis for
additional currency, and as much of
the 500, 900 IN $50 per cent in
terest-bearing Government bonds
will be raised as Mr.. Cortelyou finds
necessary, the proceeds TO be de
posted, as the President directs,
where the greatest need exists,
and more especially in the West and
South, where the crops have TO be
moved"
The Presidents letter to Mr.. Cor
telyou, which was indirectly a letter
to the whole American people,
should have an immediate and last
ing effecy on those who have been
responsive to all of the utterauces
of the Chief Executive, Those who,
after the smash-uP on Wall Street a
few weeks ago, and the report of
DR.. Roosevelt that the victims sUf-
fered as the result of their own
reckIessness. withdrew their money
from the banks and went down into
their cyclone cellars TO await the
coming Of pandemonium or the mil
lennium-they were not sure which
may now reappear. They have
been ordered to, in fact. "The Gov
ernment," says the President, will
see that the people do not suffer if
only the people themselves will act
in a normal way" In this case, the
normal way" for them is manifestly
TO put back into active circulation
the money they are boarding"
The advice has sterling worth IN
view of the fact that legitimate and
hitherto prosperous industries are
badly in need of money. This is
particularly the case in the West
and South.
As for the statement that the
banks and trust companies are sol
vent" while it viii not repair the
damaged reputation of some institu-
lions in New York. for instance, it
win call attention again to the note
worthy circumstance that the bank
ing houses in other cities are as
stable as can be.

Japan'S Olive Branch.

1t was The Washington Times
which first announced to the world
that President Roosevelt had deter
mined to send the American battle
ship fleet to the Pacific ocean. The
announcement was questioned and
doubted in many quarters for a
time, but in due course it was con-
firmed by official announcement.
There was persistent effort among
critics of everything done or pro-
posed to be done by this Admins
.tration. Great newspapers which
are now sOlemnly assuring the pub
lie that Roosevelt started the
panic" diligently asseverated and re-
peated that Roosevelt was bringing
on war with Japan. It was de-
manded that Congress ind means to
intervene and prevent this near
declaration of war. Almost pa
thetic were their appeals to the
President to let his better iudg-
ment prevail, and to withdraw the
fatal order.
And now what? Instead Of war,

most impossible to dig it out in
later years, there was in the day of
James Monroe a vast forest, broken
only by log cabins and clearings for
little patches OF wheat or corn.
How certain the pompous old Vir-
ginian was to come back to the Capt.
tol in calm faith that the bounty of
God to the American people could
never be exhausted!
Theodore Roosevelt has likewise
made a tour. He has skipped New
England, but gone farther into the
middle West. When he comes back
to Washington he does not talk of
the inexhaustibility of Gods boun-
ty. No; he calls a conference and
says in a statement TO the governors
of the States:
we are prosperous now; we should
llDL forget Lual IL Will De JUST as I'M
porJant 10 our descendants to De pros
porous in their time as it is TO as TO be
prosperous in our time. There
is no other question now before the ma
ion OF equal gravity with the ques-
lion Of the conservation of our natural
resources. II is the plain
duty of those OF US Who for the moment
are responsible TO make inventory OF
the natural resources which have been
handed down TO us, to forecast as well
as We MAJ the needs OF the future, and
so 10 handle the great resources of our
prosperity as not to destroy in advance
all nope OF tho prosperity of our de-
scendants.
That is an ominous phrase with
which the paragraph ends. How in
conceivable it would have seemed to

handle the great resources of our
prosperity as not to destroy IL ad-
vance all hope of the prosperity of
our descendants!"

LOUIV XIVS BUTTONS.

Twenty thousand dollars for a drop
shaped pearl scarf pin, $4,000 for a
pearl stud, 1880 for a coat fastener
formed Of a white bOuton pearl with
gold bar, $3.50 for seven buttons en- suite,
and $3.50 for a pair Of brilliant sleeve
links-these are few of the prices real
lied at the recent London sale of a no
bic marquis jewelry.
But, after all. everything is compare
tive. and the marquis gems, rare and
costly though they are. would have been
quite eclipsed by Louis XIV's personal
jeweiry. The Grand Monarque" had
many crazes, but for buttons ne had a
positive mania In a single year, 1885,
he squandered 5000, 900 on them. and
some of his purchases are well worth
glancing at. on August /, 1855, he
bought two diamond buttons Tor SIS, go
and seventy-five diamond buttons for
$4,000. The buttons for a single vest
cost Louis $1,000. OF the 354 boutonnieres
used, 162 contained five diamonds each,
while the remainder were single dia-
monds.
In all the great monarch is said TO
have spent 5000. 600 on buttons alone

the going of the fleet affords oppor-
tunity for conclusive proof to all
the world OF the friendly relations
of Japan and America. 1t turns out
that Japan. instead of lining Magel-
Ian with mines and strewing the
bosom of the South sea with torpe-
does, wants TO extend an invitation
to the whole fleet, while it is in
these neighborly waters, to visit
Japan and be entertained by the
navy and nation of the Mikado.
Somehow it seems as if the anna
teurs in diplomacy, the faint-heart-
ed patriots who were sure Japan
wanted TO destroy us and would
seize the first opportunity, made a
mistake in their analysis of the
Presidents diplomacy 1t would
even appear that the President
knew what he was doing, and was
doing quite the right thing. Japan
is taking advantage of the oppOr-
tunity, not TO start war, but to ce-
ment amity and perpetuate peace.
The critics might in fairness Rc-
knowledge their error.
But they viii not do it. They are
too busy denouncing the President
for starting the panic.
