DEMOCRATS HAVE
REAL CONTROL Of
COMMON COUNCIL
Dominant Party in Orange AS
sured of Enough Support
to Run Things.

While apparently getting the lesser
portion of the honors at the election
yesterday, the Democrats of Orange
were jubilant in capturing two council
men of the six nominees, as the five
members of the party who have stood
together in the past ten months have
two aides in John j. Condron, Fourth
ward, and Christopher Freeman, Fifth
ward. With the support of Counci-
man Patrick A. Quinn, Third ward. and
probably Councilman Henry T. Stetson,
second ward, the DemoG(its will have
their first real control of city affairs
since the Republican regime was oustsd
III November, 1879.
There were many close contests IN
all five wards, and the Democrats los,
some inen by narrow margins but the
election, from statements made by M
terested folk today, has resulted in Civ
ing the management of the council
into the hands Of Ii majority that VIII

fhicf interest in Democratic circles
ceatered in the FouSth ward, where
Councilnlan-clect Coudron VAS CON
fronted By the opposition OF Council
man Richard j. Kelley, whom he de
feated at the primaries. as well as tho
usual Republican and Socialist oppon-
ents. a split in the Democracy fol-
lowed the primary with John l.. Davis,
former councilman and one-time leader
of the ward, Charles Merrigan, Be-
nard Fineran, Councilman keeiey'5
partner and others supporting the can
didacy OF Mr.. Kelley.
Tax Assessor William ]. Kearney,
with the aid of Councilman Owen p.
Casey and Owen Dolan, led the party
fight for Condron and gave the older
leaders a real contest. The result was
in doubt all day, and when all districts
save Freeman street We're at police
headquarters. the result was in doubt
up until the last two score ballots were
counted. Condron, who was slightly
behind in the total of the other four
districts, came up well and won out
by "a votes.
AN impromptu parade was arranged,
led by Councilman John c.. Fineran,
Councilman Casey, Leader K~earney
and others. They paraded the city
with a fife and drum corps to celebrate
the victory. William b. Youmans, the
Republican, got but 232 votes, and
Percy Sule, Socialist, had just three
score tallias.
The Fifth ward was the next in point
OF excitement. There two men were
chosen, one for a one-year term for
the balance of the period for which the
late w. Stanley Grinsted had been
chosen. The Democrats came off ahead
in the double contest, electing Christie
pher Freeman for the three-year term,
while Henry Mathesius, Republican,
got the support necessary to serve in
1912. That fight, was also closely con
tested, and everything was in doubt
until early today, as the Second dis
trlct was late In coming in. When Mr..
Freeman and his followers found he
had won they. too, had a parade.
The ward vote retiring Councilman
Harry w. Bergman, Republican, who
has been in office several years, was as
follows: Freeman, 301; Bergman, 264.'
The Mathesius vot was 300, and
Thomas H. Dillow, Democrat, got 262.

fin and city Planning in Ancient Times, ;"
by DR.. Mitchell Carroll
The effect of these lectures was most
marked. The attendance was large and
much interest was manifested. many
prominent citizens remaining after the
lectures to make individual inquiries con-
cerning the work of the society and how
they could be of assistance. . ...
Though no special exhibitions have been
held during the past year by the local
society. assistance has been given by 1t

the Society of Washington Artists in

hibitions.

The president of the Fine Arts Society
is Thomas Nelson Page, the noted au-
thor and lecturer. Some of his views
on the needs of Washington, as incorpo-
rated in his article in this months Art
'and Progress should be of interest.
Mr.. Page describes the physical charm
of WaShingtons location, with the hills
and the river. and then praises the clas-
sical spirit which characterized the early
architecture of the city. He says:
Il might cite the Capitol, which clowns
the Capitol Hill in this city, and which
is the most impressive building on the
continent, and one of the most impressive
in all the world-certainly, 1 can recall
nothing more beautiful than the wings of
The Capitol which in harmonious beauty
are equal to anything that 1 have ever
seen. I might cite also the Treasury
Building and the White House: the old
Patent Office, and the courthouse. Or

select other than government buildings,

wonderful expression of the genius of

hills, the University of Virginia appears
like a dream of classic beauty, distin-
guished after a hundred years by its
harmonious proportions and its cloistral
and academic charm. There grew up.
indeed, throughout the country a spirit
which manifested itself in national, mu-
nicipal, and even in private buildings in

struggling back to regain once more in
our efforts to reproduce what we term
the colonial style.
Following this came a period when

OLDEST REMBRANDT PAINTING
TURNS UP IN LONDON.

Great interest has been aroused among
art counoisseurs in Europe by the dis
covery of what is said to be the earliest
picture by Rembrandt, perhaps the great

The newly discovered picture is in the
collection of Sir ]. C. Robinson. famous
English art collector. who is especially
an authority on Rembrandt
This picture is a study of still life,
representing books grouped around armoT
and a skull crowned with laurels. It Is
dated 1621, or six years earlier than the
earliest OF his hitherto known works.

The newly discovered painting is OF
large dimensions and painted on an oak
panel, made up of four longitudinal
planks of unequal width. clamped to-
gether. Evidence that Rembrandt painted
such picture is to be found in the in
ventory of his effects, drawn up at the
urging Of his creditors, on July g and
IS. 1856, in which appears the following
entries:
