A GROUP CF WORLD FAMOUS ARTiSTS. perhaps to the high lights or shadows, the students quickly giasplng his criti cism. The two strong points that he made, and he asked the students to re member them particularly, were: Study nature faithfully, constantly: draw your inspiration from It. Cultivate simplicity Giovanni floldlnl. who always writes his name Jean Botdtnl. by the way, does nut In appearance suggest the art ist at all. One of the foremost figures In the world of art. he Is by birth an Italian—he was born in Ferrara in ISO —by choice a Parisian. He is rather short In atnture, thick set. light roni plexloned and has the bearing of an energetic business man. He Is not fond of giving or receiving flattery nnd has a habit of expressing himself tersely and to the point. He likes America and says so. He does not like some of our Institutions nnd also says so IDs ex hibition of portraits. Including the fa mous Whistler, was an event of the first Importance during the past art season In New York. M. Boldinl’s studio was a small room, eoxlly bul not elaborately furnished, in the Roussod-Valadon building. There he worked the greater part of the day. when he was in the mood. He Is a great admirer of Whlstter nnd Pargent Re yond that he «ay» he knows nothing of American art. His favorite subject—and this he shares in common with his con f,oros- is a beautiful woman: after that children and horses. The one disagreea ble feature of his stay here was the dif ficulty that he had with the customs authorities over the pictures that he brought for exhibition purposes. A pas tel of Verdi was secured by subterfuge bv.an emissary of the custom house and retained. Roldini felt very bad about this. He said before he left that any one who w ould get dj.back from the government could keep it Few of the foreign artists have won a higher place m the esteem of Americans than funmundo d* Madraro Tle,ls rath er short and slender. Of Bpaplsh birth, he, like Roldini, has chosen Rails as his home.

Just ofT of Fifth avenue, near the park. A man who bv his appearance would attract attention anywhere, who seems to he a true type of the man of the world, is Theobald Chartran He is lust as much a Frenchman todav as w hen he first visited these shores live years ago He speaks Fnsltsh rather more fluently—that is all. His studio is on the top floor of the new Astor court, ad joining the Waldorf Astoria on the West. He and Mine. Chartran live at the Waldorf-Astoria, ns also do Boldlnl and Duran. Madraxo lives at the Hol land. M Chartran works rapidly An lllustrntlon of this Is the time that it took him to pnlnt President McKinley's portrait, just after the latter had been elected to his high office He left New York for Canton 0.. on a Friday after noon He had his first sitting the fol lowing Tuesday, two more sittings on Thursday and a short one on Friday That evening ho started for New York. The portrait was scarcely dry. but he brought it with him On Saturday, just after his arrival, he added the finishing touches and on Monday it was placed on view at the Ktinedler gallery in Fifth avenue. It was a strikingly good portrait, too. and now hangs in ihe CM’negi* Art gallery in Pittsburg M. Chartran is an inveterate theater goer. He is particularly fond of the opera. Two seasons ago he attended the performance of ■’ytegfrled" -the memorable occasion when his friend. Jean d« Resgko sung with such great success the title role for the first lime M. Chartran led ihe chorus of those who shouted Bravo'" at the close of the forging of the sword scene In ihe first act. During the entr'acte he jot ted down on the margin of his pro gramme a rough sketch of De Reszke beside the forge, with) -uplifted sword The next day he placed this finprsssion on canvas in black and.white. Introduc ing a llttla color for ithe high lights. This hasty sketch, admired by all who saw it served ns the Minis for his salon picture of this year, which has received high praise from the French critics.

"When were universities first estab lished’” Is a question that ha* occurred to many people It Is perfectly natural that this question should arise, for thoughtful people must often have won dered when mental culture first became I of such importance as to necessitate the j foundation of a university. The earliest university was the medi cal school of Sa'ernn. which was closed n ISP! after a life of about 1 000 years. The two modela of all the other old uni versities were those of Hologna and Part* the former a law school the lat ter making theology Its ohier concern, both founded In the second half of the twelfth century an eporh when the ad vantages that were to accrue to the world from certain studies were strong- i ty felt The Univer**tv of Haris had j from the ouls-t four faculties or branches of study—theology, canon law medicine and arts Rut the study of aits. Including logic and rhetoric from the trivium and the qundrlvfum (arith metic geometry, music and astronomy), was regarded as merely preliminary to the other#, which alone as attacking vt- | ml problems, entitled the university to . its high privileges TTenrr. upon inception •« a mailer of ! atis. a man did not roast to be . all* -I a | -scholar" n word which has const-- I ; quently corse to Imply sound learning i 1 outside th« three professions, it wa* i I the elucidation of theology which was | above all desired and expected from the i ■ university, and the faculty of theology i w as organised more like a learned ni ad - : i emv than a# a seminary.

Th*- art of paper making also benefited by the influx of French workmen. It is strange that the French minis ters should not have foreseen the dam age to the country which would ensue from ihe Violent measures they adopt ed. and when an ordinance banished all the protpstant clergy, the government se- med perplexed Ihai Ihe people vol untarily shored in their exile At last It was ordered that all who attempted to leave the country should be confined lo the galleys, but even that did not prevent enormous nuniliers escaping to England.

This Frederick William mania of the kaiser's is an old device of his for impressing ihe for eigner.

Once indeed when this Prussian guardsman looked over a seven foot garden wall and asked a gill picking gooseberries therein what was the way to so and so t'ti'c simple maiden told him to ride first to the light and then to the left, and he would find the place he wanted The nymph had honestly fan cied that an officer overpeering her garden wall like that must necessarily be un horseback It Is computed that at the present time the diamonds bought for Ameri can bounties living in the United S?h|J,es are worth no less than $5,000,000.
