II would be refreshing to see the Rosa

even more II the exhibition were to
contain the great Venetian "Nocturne"
and that extraordinary study in grays
which Whistler called The ocean,"
The latter picture, by the way, has
been cleansed of the varnish which for
years gave it a rather yellowish tone,
and by this wise process it has been
made trebly beautiful Whistler
painted "The ocean" in a happy hour,
when all that was creative in his
genius was most ebullient and most
sure OF itself The pier on the left, the
ships beyond and the floral spray In
the foreground are like so many ex-
auistely embroidered details in per-
feet decorative scheme. Moreover,
though the decorative motive is given
such weight, the very spirit of the sea
is i'm the picture. II is one Of the out
standing triumphs Of the Whistlerian
idea. II an exhibition Is made and
some things have 10 be omitted IL is
earnestly to be hoped that these two
beautiful paintings will not be with

spared.
A small but exceptionally fine group
Of Whistlers has just been acquired by
the Kennedy gallery. 1t consists of
eight pastels. originally part Of that
series of ffty-three which the artist
brought back with him from Venice
and put forth in memorable exhibit
ton in London in the spring Of 1881.
The lightest, most exquisite Of all
mediums was exactly suited to his
genius. Whistler, who would have
danced up and down with rage at the
mere suggestion Of there being a
literary" motive in one Of his pictures
nevertheless was moved TO put into
many Of the latter something which
was, in it's way, poetic. 1t was, with
him, matter Of vision. He saw things
charmingly. almost II not quite, as
poet. His Venice is, after all. world
all his own. just as Turner's was an
absolutely Turneresque pageant just as
Bunce's Venice, in our own day. pos
sesses a character 10 be found in no
other. The familiar, quaint anecdotes
about Whistler's proprietary mood are
easy enough to understand. When he
tackled a subject on the lagoons he saw
il in such wise that one can hardly
blame him for thinking that he had
invented 1t and for warning off all
other artists as clumsy interlopers. He
justified himself in both his etchlngs
and his paintings, and, rather more
magicany, if anything, in the pastels.

Berlin Prohibits Horse Cab.

While In most Of the large cities OF
civilized countries the taxicab reigns
practically supreme, Berlin is the first
metropolis to pass law prohibiting
horse-drawn cabs from carrying fares
within its jurisdiction. Such an ordi.
nance was put in force recently and
the few remaining cabbies were given
notice of the death of their trade. Pro-
vision was made for the instructing of
the cabmen as chaufteurs, and $3.50
was given as compensation for their
loss Of trade. This gives the taxicab
drivers a monopoly, but, as the city
authorities have stringent regulations
covering the tolls and other matters,
no trouble Is expected from that
source. Co-incident with this news
comes the information from London
that the cab situation is SO bad there
that a society has been formed for
the relief Of INDECENT G b drivers who
are now unable to reap a living owing
to the inroads taxicabs have made on
their fares.

BRADSTREET'S REPORT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week from eight cities in the state
report that two of them labor is en-
ployed about as usual; another two
fairly well employed and four that
labor is well employed. These same
places indicate trade at. the retail
stores runs all the way from good to
dull; four report good business and
one indicates dull trade. In each
instance collections are reported as
fairly good. Three fires, affecting
mercantile interests were reported,
showing a total damage of only ST.
900. Two domestic corporations
were chartered. The weather dur
ing the Lweek has kbeen intensely
cold on two of the days, so cold that
little business was done on those
days but with moderating weather
there was a brighter tone to general
business at the stores during the lat
ter part of the week. Clearance
sales occupied the front frank lin &C.
tivities in most lines of general bust
ness. Lumbermen fare active with
their operations in the woods and
the general demand at lumber
camps has been good. Good sleigh
ing has been beneficial all around.
Burlington reports labor fairly
well employed. The clothing trade
reports stocks in good condition and
at the. dry goods stores the sales
have been well attended; collections
are only fair. Rutland reports that
the scale shop is to enlarge its plant.
Normal conditions are reported
from the st. Adams manufacturing
interests and among the retail mer-
chants as well. St. Johnsbury re-
ports general trade at the stores
good aside from two days on which
the severe cold made Indifferent
trading. Barre reports granite
plants are employed fully as we'll as

EFFEMINATE STYLE FOR MEN
London Society Men Wear Almost az
Much JeweIry as Women
of Fashion.

The society men of London are rap
idly reaching an astonishing degree of
effeminate foppishness, says the New
York American.
They now wear almost as much
jewelry as any fashionably dressed
woman. Their money is carried in
small chain purses of fine gold mesh.
Their necks are encircled with the
softest silk collars, held together by
brooches ornamented with a single
pearl or twisted into love knot. One
arm is fettered with a wrist watch,
the other with a. delicately engraved
gold bangle. Gold locket pendants,
worn round the neck, are also becom-
ing popular.
Gold knobbed sticks, chased and en-
bossed, are considered a necessity;
and, carried with a certain mincing
air, always attract attention. The
first finger of one hand carries a gold
ring, in which is set single brilliant,
and the third finger of the other hand
also displays a diamond set ring.
1t is the essence of style to vary
ones combination of jewelry with
ones dress. For instance, the topaz
collar pin should only be worn with
special kind of silk open work sock
A pearl and diamond tiepin must be
balanced by a short leather watch
chain, hanging from the left hand
waistcOat pocket, and set Off with a
gold fob.
The male evening dress will per
haps soon include the tiara, while the
diamond shoe buckle is already being
asked for at the stylish boot shops.
Eventually the real dude, if he is to
continue in his present course, will
not consider himself fully dressed un.
less one of his ears is fitted with the
single earring, the style which is at
present the fashion with the women.

RATHER A PECULIAR HOBBY
Chief Executive OF New York Said to
Have a Marked Fondness
for Pigs.

"Pigs Is pigs" with Mayor Gaynor
Of New York. They are his favorite
animals, on foot. Besides raising
quite a number hiRself at his farm
Deep Wells, at st. James, l.. l., he A.
ways displays an interest in pigs
owned by his neighbors.
He insists on them raising pigs
The pigless folk of st. James hear
from him land he uses just as sharp
language in his neighborly converse
ton as he does in writing letters 10
rat catchers, etc), and hear from him
often until they annex a few pork
ers" as a side line. Several denize "a
of that locale admit they keep a few
pigs just to keep peace in the village.
Once a boy did him a really good
turn and he desired to show his 49,
probation Of the act. OF course tie
boy got pig for his reward. When
the mayor goes for his jaunt through
the countryside he calls on all the
farmers who raise pigs. The others
do not receive visit from him.
Whenever he hears that a pig is i'll,
no matter II it is six miles away, he
goes to see that pig. And he usually
prescribes some home remedy for the
animal. He has been known to walk
ten miles on the hottest day to visit
an indisposed pig.
When the mayor visits his country
place at the end of each week during
the summer there is always a group
OF villagers on hand to greet him. AS
he goes among them shaking their
hands, instead Of acquiring about their
health, he says: "How are your
