A CHRISTOPHER vANE.
On Faneuil Hall, Boston-Made by On
of Americas Earliest WoodcarverS.

On Faneuil Hall, Boston-Made by One
of Americas Earliest WoodcarverS.
Perched on the cupola of Faneuil hall
is a grasshopper weathervane which is
not only one of the Oldest vanes in the
country, but is famous as the product
of one of Americas earliest wood cary
ers and artisans, Shem browne of Bos-
ton.
Brownies shop was on Ann street. in
the North End.
OF the many vanes he made only three
are now known to be in eXistence-the
one on the Shepard Memorial church i'll
Cambridge, which formerly was on the
steeple of the New Brick church on Han
over street in this city, and known as
the revenge vane; the one in the collec-
ton of the Massachusetts Historical So
ciety, relic of the old Boston Province
house, and the one on Faneuil hall.
The grasshOpper of copper, hammered
out by hand, has large CLASSY eyes, which
in the sunlight shine like fire. 1t was
made in 1742 at the order of Peter Fan
euil when the hall, his gift to the town.
was nearing completion. and for the last
167 years it has been a landmark.
1t has not, however, lived a life of I'M
broken peace, for several times it has
been near destruction. In 1865, when
BOSTON WAS sHaken Dy an earthquake,
the vane fell to the ground, but after be-
ing supplied with a new leg by the son
of the man who made it was replaced.
Five years later Faneuil hall was Sc
riously damaged by fire, but the vane re-
manned intact and when the hall was re-
built the grasshopper was once more
given the place of honor.
Another disaster befell it when, in
1889, a flag was being raised to celebrate
ylo
city by the British, the hopper hoped to
the street below. But in a few days he
hoped right back again and there it has
remained ever since, with the exception
of an occasional removal for repairs

Absurdly High Prices for Pictures.

The Yerkes sale continues to break
the highest records of prices for paint
ings Last night Franz HAS Portrait
of Woman" was sold for $137, 900.
Consider that until the holding of the
IerkeS sale S65,OO0, paid for n Troy0n
landscape and figure piece, was the high
est authenticated price ever laid down
for picture IN the United States. Con
slider that in the three evenings of the
1erkes sale this price has been exceeded
in three instances 1t must be admitted
that the Yerkes sale is likely to have
historic place in the estimation of
connoisseurs and art dealers throughout
the world The following recapituation
of Yerkes records is impressive.
Franz Halls Portrait of q Woman" sold
for S137, 900.
j. NJ. w. Turner's Rockets and Blue
Lights, for S139,OO0.

$50. 800.
Record for one nights session at ,au
auction sale, $1,000
Record total for any collection offered al
public auction, S1,526G75.
Another feature of the sale is worthy
of mention. 1t is that European buyers
are in attendance The fashion in Eu-
rope for a long time was to laugh at
American collectors, and to intimate that
pictures painted by the yard could be
disposed of to rich Americans as old
masters. OF late years. however. many
of the. choicest and most highly authen-
ticated works of great painters of diff
ferent periods have found their way to
this country. And so now, it appears
European dealers are following these
treasures across the Atlantic and trying
to purchase them back. OF course there
may be some management" in the mat
ter The presence of the European
dealers may have been cleverly arranged
for the purpose of giving prestige to the
sale and enhancing the delirium of bid
ders. There is humbug in the picture
auction business as in many other lines
of human activity.
Whether there is humbug or not there
is enthusiasm. The prices paid for the
artistic treasures Of the dead traction
magnate speak well for the precautions
which, he took in the selection of his col
lection. 1t was something that an
American business man. purchasing
pictures, should use judgment as I'M
erring as if he had been investing in
street railway shares or in something
else that was the special study Of
his life. However, the prices rich

PIONEER STAGE DRIVER.

There be many staid matrons in Den
yer who had they known of the visit of
Gurley Wall might have sought him out
to shake his hand and recall the days
when they sat beside him on the box
of the big Concord coach and watched
him guide six horses over the narrow
mountain roads.
They knew that there were times when
stumble. a break in the harness or
careless twist of rein might plunge
them to death on the rocks hundreds of
feet below, but they put their trust in
Providence and Curley and escaped all
perils.
1t was the pioneer stage drivers first
visit to Denver for twenty years, and
he saw sights strange and new. Since
he was last here many of the old pas
sengers have gone to the grave but Cur
ley is hale and hearty, with promise of
several decades more of life.
When he was driving stages in the
Cos and '7Os he carried many men who
afterward became famous. Gen. Grant
was one. Horace Greeley, James G..
Blaine, Schuyler Colfax, the builders of
the Union and Kansas Pacific railways;
poets, painters and authors of renown
were among them.
For all of his passengers, except the
most timed, the highest honor of the
mountain trip was the privilege of sit
ting beside Curley. He scorned bride
and often turned away the snob who ten
dered a gold or silver coin for the priv
ilege to ask some old friend or pleasant
acquaintance to take the seat of honor.
1t was a pleasure to watch Curley
manipulate the reins, whip and brake.
He could tell a story well, and in the
summer had Il habit of emphasizing the
point of narrative by killing a fly
on the ear of the leader without Earring
the nerves of the horse.
Curley Wall is now the pioneer eX-
pressman of Idaho Springs and has had
stand at the depot there ever since
the railway reached the city. Wall ar
rived a Black Hawk in June, 1860, and
| followed placer mining for time. Later
he was a stage driver between Central
| City, Idaho Springs and Denver. When
the iron horse invaded the mountains
staging and freighting were abandoned
| and he has ever since operated an ex-
| press wagon there. He is "A years old
and has wife and five chlldren.-Den-
yer Republican.

Americans are now paying for paintings
are likely to be suspected by that por-
ton of the world which is ruled by judg-
ment rather than by enthusiasm They
will be considered as indicating not so
much love for art as a love for osten-
tation-not so much the possession of
culture as the possession of money and
of the nerve" to spend it. Reason
teaches that simply as works of art no
canvases can be actually worth such
prices as have been paid at the Yerkes
sale. Combinations of accidents tend to
build up the conditions under which one
picture sells for $137, 600 while another
equally precious as a work of art may
knock about disregarded for years before
some one competent to judge discovers
and extols its qualities. Even then it
may command only a moderate price
within the reach of modest purses. The
picture craze in America is approaching
phase of recklessness recalling the
tulip craze in Holland. That frenzy did
not last. Hollanders of the present age
no doubt derive as much pleasure from
tulips as did their ancestors; but it does
not cost them as much to crafty their
taste. When the world settles down to
common sense on the subject of art. it
will not think of paying $137,OOO for d
single picture.

The Paris ApacheS.

The Paris Apaches are the most ut
terly vicious and dangerous inhabitants
of the gay capital-creatures whose lives
are one long crime. and who would COM
nit murder before breakfast and half
a dozen after supper every day If they
could add to their revenue by the
slaughter. Their presence makes GER
tain quarters of Paris unsafe after night
fall and dangerous even by day. the
following news item from Paris is
worthy of note;
The project of police. NJ Lepine, talked
very plainly ON the subject to the Municipal
Council the other day, saying that he must
have more men, or he could not keep the
rogues in order He ascribeS present condt-
tious partly to the humanitarian movement
which for some year, has been prevalent in
France. The First Offenders Act OF Nj.
Berenger, the method Of conditional liberia
ton, the too frequent passage of amnesty
bills-all these causes, he declared, tend To
increase the number of Apaches. The rem
edy for the present evil. he thinks. would
be vigorous movement on the part of pun
lie opinion to encourage Sterner action ny
the police.
What is conditional liberation" but
the parole system. which has become so
fashionable in this country of lateF
There are few men better qualified TO
give expert testimony on the subject OF
dealing with criminals than the Partisan
chief of police. OF course conditions
differ in different countries, and of
course the French system of trying
criminal cases would not be tolerated
here. What NJ. Lepine says may not
be conclusive as q generality 10 be APP
nied without modltica tons TO American
conditions. but it is interesting and
worthy Of attention.

Smoking on Street Cars.

ChicagO's health commissioner has be
gun crusade TO Danish smokers from
the platforms of street cars. Undoubt-
eddy the use of tobacco increases the
splitting evil, and no one would now
have the hardihood to make a formal
defense of the disgusting habit of pro
mlscuouS splitting. Smoking is offensive
to some men as well as to many woman.
But 1t is much more general than it used
to be, and great many women in all
walks of life profess themselves partial
or at least Indifferent to the odor of the
burning weed. One of the Chicago ele-
waited lines stopped running smoking
cars last November, and its president
atfirms that traffic has increased since
that time. Officials Of the Chicago City
Railway Company say they are in com
petition with the elevated roads and can
not prohibit smoking unless their n
walls do the same. Ultimately the mat
ter will depend upon the course of the
health and police departments.
If the abolition of smoking on street
cars should prevail in Chicago it would
extend to other cities. 1t is not a po-
lite habit, but when acquired 1t makes
strong demands upon its devOteeS. auo
there are those by whom smoke is
looked upon as scarcely less necessary
than the meal itself, and may be en-
Joyed much more. Not all smokers are

The man who would spit upon the floor
or platform of a street car, it is now gen
orally conceded. is a mere hog. Iunu'
opinion has crystallized on this subject
since the initial agitation against pro
miscuous splitting, a few years ~
Many who were active in the antl-sll'
ting crusade would be strongly dl>ln-
clined to join in a war against smoking.
But the cloud in Chicago, no bigger JhaA
mans hand, evidently is a war e.'ul.
and it may spread.

New York City has taken precautions
long ahead of the national holiday to en-
sure a sane and safe observance of the
Fourth of July. In pursuance of an
order from Mayor Gnynor, Fire Commits
sioner Waldo has sent notice to deal
ers throughout the city that hereafter
he will issue no permits for the retailing
of fireworks. Chinese crackers, rockets,
blue lights, Roman candles, colored pots,
lance wheels and other works of brilliant
cOlored fire" are one and all specifically
tabooed. The way to prevent the promis.
cuOus and dangerous use of pyrotechnics
is to stop their sale. If New York en-
forces an regulation as sweeping as this,
the practice may become fashiona bic i'll
other cities. There are better ways of
celebrating the Fourth of July than by
making a hideous din and running the
risk of being burned or blown up or set
ting fire to the town.
