An Art Commission.
From the Milwaukee Free Press.

From the Milwaukee Free Press.
The bill creating a national CON-
mission of fine arts has finally passed
both houses of Congress, 1t is to con-
sist Of seven "well qualified judges"
to be appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate. Consider
ing the dubious confidence with which
art critics and authorities are regard
ed at this time, this amenability of
Congress to expert supervision of the
governments art and architecture
must be a matter for congratulation.
It is true that the commission will
act merely in an advisory capacity.
and that Congress can take or leave
its recommendations as it sees fit--a
limitation which to some viii suggest
endless possibilities for delay and de-
feat. This. however. is looking at
the dark side of the prospect. 1t
would be strange. indeed. If body OF
recognized authorities could not make
sufficient impression upon Congress,
which assuredly Is not exclusively
made ur of "barbarians." to elevate
the standard Of the governments op.
erations in the field of art.

An extraordinary scene occurred the
other day at meeting of the Cork
corporation.
Recently the lord mayor applied for
permission to run a motor bus service
to suburb of the city which the street
cars do not reach. and where he has
extensive property. The proposal ex-
cited great INDICATION amongst the car
owners and cab drivers of the city, and
as it was known that they intended to
wait on the corporation to record their
protest yesterday, police and firemen
were placed in charge Of the entrances.
When the drivers, etc, assembled
to the number of 800 they were con-
fronted by the police and other de-
tenders of the council chamber but
in their overwhelming numbers they
easily bore down opposition and swoop-
ed down into the chamber shouting
and booing at the lord mayor.
The lord mayor left the chamber
taking the officials with him. and a
labor member being moved to the
chair an indignation meeting took
the place of an assembly of the coun'
ell.
The attempt of the lord mayor to
interfere with the livelihood of the
hackney car men" was denounced In
strong terms, and resolutions convey
| ing these views were carried with &C
| clamation.

The marquis tasted the wine. "How

entirely forgotten its existence until a
friend entered his studio In London
one morning and asserted that a CAPT

a small shop In Great Portland street.

observed the friend. but it may have
resembled you some years ago. Go
and look at it,.
Mr.. Firth went and found his own
image after an arrangement Of forty.
five years. He determined to buy It
though he had not the faintest recol.
lection Of having painted it. "Ah, q
