That was brought about in some

that organs vast satisfaction
and credit; and the possibilities
of tragedy in none. This latter
| fact was greatly to the credit of a
maligned class Of men. 1t is COM
mon belief that mo cause is too
sacred or no consequence too grave
to give pause to the editorial rapacity
for news. The present instance dis
proved that superstition. No journal,
! yellow or otherwise, contained a line
of suggestion that anything beyond
annoyance was to be feared from
| these queer manifestations.
The consequences on mixed popu-

very peculiar. The people naturally
divided themselves into three classes.
| In the first were those who had re-
ceived their warning from logic,
friends or the outside world, and who
| either promptly left town or, being
unable to do so, lived in fear. In the
second were AL that numerous body
who, Enthusiastically unbalanced or
near the overbalance, shut instinct
ively the eyes of their reason and
glowed with a devastating and IA
natical religious zeal. Among these,
sd extraordinarily are we constituted
almost Immediately grew up various
sects, uniting only in the belief thai
the wrath of God was upon an in
! iquitous people.
BY far the largest class of all, COM
prising the everyday busy bulk OF
the people, were those who accepted
the thing at its face value, read its
own papers, went about its business
and spared time to laugh at the alb
surdities or growl at the inconyen'
fences of the phenomena. With true
American adaptability, it speedily

Approves Soldiers, Monument.

Approves Soldiers Monument.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-Your editorial in the issue
of the 9th instant, under the title of
"A Soldiers and Sailors Monument"
was a splendid tribute to the men
who fought for the preservation of
the Union in 81 to '65. 1t was also
a well deserved knock to this won
derful city of ours, the fourteenth in
population In the United States, and
the only city of importance in our
country which has not erected a
monument in honor of the heroes who
fought and died that our country
should be preserved.
1t is rumored that lack of support
from the newspapers was one of the
causes that made the attempt 70
erect this monument a failure How
ever, it is better late than never, and
if the Star is in earnest and desires
to see this city redeem itself in this
matter. let it start something. |
would deem it an honor to be per-
mitted to put my share toward pay
ing for monument to be erected in
this city to honor the dead and liv-
ing heroes of the Civil War.
Your knock on the Spanish
American War, | am sure, was UNI
called for. If the men who served
in that war want to erect monu-
ment to the men who died with dis
ease in the South, Cuba and the
Philippines, and to those who were
killed with the bolo and bullet, il
should receive the support of the
press, because these men were resi-
dents of our city and their bodies are
buried in far distant places.
When these men enlisted they did
not ask how big or how little the war
was going to be; the fact stands I'M
disputed that they enlisted to fight
the battles of their country against a
country which was one Of the world
powers on paper.

heroes, then more power to you, but
If it is written as an attempt to be-
little the men who served under the
flag in 9S / am going to ask you to
peruse your files for the months Of
April, May and June of the year
1898 and to remind you of what the
Star described as the thousands of
historical men and women who wit
messed the departure of the First
regiment in 1898 for the front, with

If it is not BETTING that monu-

NO. g. THE YOUNG BULL" BY PAUL POTTER
Copyright school, Inc

Potter had business sense as well
as his artistic endowments. When
Maurice, Prince of orange, magnani-
mously made himself the patron of
the young artist, Potter gladly ac-
cepted the royal favor at exactly its
face value and made the most Of it,
For the Prince to Orange he painted
the life size Young Bull" now one
of the most celebrated works in The
Hague Gallery.
Some idea of the feverish energy of
Potter may be gained from the fact
that in ten years he executed hum
bred existing paintings and twenty
etchings. to say nothing of many
drawings and studies. To these must
be added thirty or forty more works
which appear in various sale cata-
logues, but have been lost. And to
some of these paintings he devoted
five months.
His horses and cattle are so indi-
vidual that it is said of Potter that

interested in animals, but he became
a master of landscape because of it's
necessity as a background.
One of his neighbors in The Hague
was Claes Balchenmeyndem, who
called himself an architect, and was
convinced that he really was very
important person. Potter fell in love
with his daughter Adriana, and
formally asked the prideful father for
her hand
"Whatn exclaimed Balchenmeyn-
dem, throwing up his hands in horror,
my daughter marry a painter; and
what a painter? A painter of ami
malsi If you were only painter of
men, or portraits-but a painter of
animals!"
But it was the habit of the frail
Potter to get exactly what he want
ed. The opposition of the parent
made this marriage a little more diff
ficult; but he married Adriana with
out much delay.

The Sign had been sent promptly

Darrow's prediction by turning out to

an hour-long enough to throw the

the hidden antagonist delighted in

messages he sent over the wireless in
the Atlas building grew more and
more threatening and grandiose.
They demanded invariably that Me-
earthly should be sought out and de-
livered up to a rather vaguely de-
scribed vengeance; and threatened
with dire calamities all the inhab-
itants of Manhattan if the Unknown'S
desires were not fulfilled. These
threats grew more definite in char
acter as time went on.

patched at a cost of $395,2S6. or about
II cents a parcel,
Under the postage rates previously

senator, the postage would have been

should also be remembered that The
