corner of Cortlandt Street.
The crowd that gathered around
this helpless and suffering animal
remained at it's station for hours ard
hours. 1t was scene that one might
observe in any city in the South or
West, with this difference:
The New York crowd stood about
the horse and stared aimlessly, with
a silence that was irksome. 1t was
the true metropolitan attitude. The
members Of the crowd looked at the
horse. and did no more.
If the same scene were enacted
out, say, in Emporia, Kan, or Kan
kakee, ILL.,, or GAINESVILLE, Ohio, in
all probability one would observe
some essentially provincial zap, at
terly without the metropolitan pol
ish or knowledge, but with a meas
ured degree of horse sense withal,
bestir himself and get bucket Of
water, which he would dash over
the head and neck Of the Frustrated
horse, thus curtailing the anguish
that comes from heat prostration
and incidentally reviving circulation,
with view to putting the horse
back on its feet.

Six Of the Famous GObelin Tapestries Are Now in Al
These Supreme Examples Of the
Weaver's Art Depict the
Glories of Louis XIV

by their late owner is accounted for
In standard works Of reference. The
cartoons were originally prepared by
the court painter, Charles Lebrun,
who was for fifteen years retained
by Louis XIV, during which time he
was largely engaged in the decora-
ton Of the palace of Versailles. The
Interpretation Of the composition
into terms Of slender threads was
made by that master craftsman,
Franz van der Meulen, or, as the
French called him, FRANCOIS de la
Meulen, for they more or less adopt
ed the stou: Fleming.
A History of the King
The original set was called 1.-THE
History Of the King" and comprised
forty pieces. The subjects of some
were the pomps and ceremonies of
court life; while others celebrated
the military conquests Of the mon
arch. Those which are dedicated to
war were considered to be the most
important. The first set Of them,
woven at the Gobelins, was exclu-
sively for the royal use, and it still
remains intact as the property of
the Republic Of France.
Further pieces were put on the
looms, after the commission from
the King had been executed, but only
few examples were reproduced, as
the scale on which they were
planned was much too splendid even
for an extravagant age. Van der

Meulen therefore elaborated with
Lebrun in producing pieces of the

It was at this stage that, owing to
certain financial disturbances, for
such were frequent in the reigns of
French kings, the Gobelin works
were temporarily closed. At about
this time the master weaver, Phi

This Country Belonged to the
Amherst Collection

Germany the Grand Monarch di-
vided an army of one hundred thou
sand men into four divisions, one
under his personal command and
the others under the control Of his
generals. The Dutch town Of Duis-
bourg surrendered after resisting
the King only few days, and natu-
rally this triumph was a fitting SUBJ
ject for artist and weaver, as
shown in the Amherst set. One of
the smaller works, which is II by

the King and his marshals, and a

it was the custom at both the Gobe-

of the King are heavy with spun

Made War Grandly

Lebrun, as an artistic adviser,
was close to the court and to the
ideals of the King and, therefore, his
cartoons are perfect transcripts of
the life Of the Grand Monarch, who,
to rumble the Johnsonian line, "thun-
dered on the coasts of Africa and
sent embassies to Siam" Whether
planning the conquest of Algiers or
turning his gaze to the Far East, or
campaigning in the Low Countries,
Louis XIV made war magnificent,
and it was war, the French epigram
to the contrary Notwithstanding. His
battles were as if waged on the
Field of the Cloth of Gold. When he
went forth to meet the foe the Grand
Monarch, as he was almost officially
called, went with an army with shin
ing panoply. Over it bright banners
burgeoned in the sun and gay music
and ringing fanfare were borne upon
the breeze. He went in purple and
fine linen and dwelt at the front in
silken pavilions.
Cali that you have read about the
magnifcence of Solomon and the
grandeur of the King of Persia"
wrote the Count of Coligny at the
time when Louis XIV went forth to
war, "is not to be compared with the
pomp which attends the King in his
expedition. You see passing along
the streets nothing but plumes,
gold-laced uniforms, chariots, mules
superbly caparisoned, parade horses,
housings with embroidery Of gold. "
There was good artistic reason,
therefore, for the liberal use of gold
threads and filaments in the weaving
of such tapestry as the Surrender

Eligibility Of T. l. Hall
For Governor Questioned

Lincoln, Neb,, Feb. 1l.-(Special,) }
The filing of Railway Commits
sioner Thomas L. Hall has again
raised the question of the eligibility
Of any state officer to become a
candidate for governor.
The constitution reads that any
other officer of the executive de-
partment cannot become a candi-
date for governor during the term
for which they were elected,
The constitution enumerates the
executive officers as governor, lieu
tenant governor, treasurer, secre-
tary OF state, auditor, land commits
sloner, state superintendent and at
torney general. But since the adop-
ton of the constitution under which
the state is now working a consti-
tutlonal amendment has been adopt
ed electing three members of the
state railway commission and de-
fining their duties. Their duties are
defined in the article of the consti-
tuition pertaining to executive Off
GERS, and this has raised the point
in the minds of many as to whether
they were not executive officers as
we'll as the other state officers which
the present constitution designates
as officers of the executive depart
ment.

Urgent representations have been

the government of the United States
looking to peaceful settlement of it's
dispute with Peru. regarding Bolivia's
demand for right of way through
africa -Tacna to the sea.
The exact situation in Bolivia is
somewhat obscure, owing to the rigid
censorship reported to have been i'm
posed at La Paz. Reports reaching
Peru that Gen. Monies was mobilizing
Bolivian reserves caused deep con-
Germ. At the Peruvian embassy it was
said that if this were true Peru would
be obliged to call out it's reserves. as
it's standing army consisted of only a
few thousand men.
Peru and Bolivia are members OF
the league of nations and if they
sever diplomatic relations the crisis
thus provoked would, under the ar
ticles of the league covenant, be such
as to bring the dispute to the official
coenizance of the council of the
league.
Some diplomats considered such an
eventuality not at all unlikely. They
said such a case would have a pc
culiar interest as it would afford the
first test of the strength and power
