They are very evidently "only for the moment;" they do not com port in character with the exhibits with which they are crowded. There are a few exceptions to this general characteri zation: The two Art Palaces, which ere permanent structures, are fine in most of their details, and the buildings reproduc ing feature of “Old Paris” are exceed ingly picturesque and well-placed—though these last are not exposition structures in the specific sense any more than are the buildings of the various foreign Powers —some of which are admirable, while others are needlessly hideous—or those of th* numerous concessionaires from vari ous parts of the world. The Grand Palace of Fine Arts, in w hich the contemporary art exhibits of the va rious nations are shown, is far better .adapted for its purpose than was the Art Palace at Chicago, but In Its exterior tt Is not nearly so dignified or impressive as the Chicago building. Both the Grand Palace a.id the Palace of Relrospectlve Art arc most admirable in their general features, but both are disfigured by por tals that arc at variance with the other portions of the structures and that depre ciate the fine effect their beautiful colon nades would have had If unDroken by such disproportionate and inharmonious projections The exhibit of contemporary art is not quite so large as that made at Chicago, and while Rome nations show to better advantage here, others were more credi bly represented there. The contemporary art exhibit of Prance is enormously larger here titan was that at Chicago, but 41 averages about the same in quality. Many of the pictures exposed In Chicago ate in evidence here, prominent amonr% which are some of the strong j>ortralts by Bonnat, including the Ernest the beautiful portrait of Madame Gauthereau and other works by Cortols; the Horses of Besnard, the nude dancing figures of Codill, and so on. Many of the lending French painters ate represented here much more fully than at Chicago, notably among them be ng ltoybert. who exhibits, nmong other strong works, Ills colossal "Charlew the Bod, at Neele," which wa* ahown at the St. lx>uls Exposition three years ago; and Jean Beraud, with bis somewhat Irreverent In terpretations of Biblical nubjecta with types of character, costume and scenic It Dawns On the ladies at last, that it is possible to get REAL UNDER WEAR in tli is city M H s / r ' ces ’ m y X Elk Brand AAuslin Underwear, At material, well made and handsomely finished.

ConMft>it'ii ••Victoria*’ I* Ghost-Id key Then there is Benjamin-Constant’s por trait of Queen Victoria, in royal robes and crown, seated on the throne. This, while one of the most pretentious, Is one cf tho most inefficient of Benjamin-Constant’s works. The figure of the Queen presents tho appearance of an overfed ghost. It emphasizes the least attractive features of the monarch’s personality in its out lines. It lacks substance and give# no suggestion whatever of the Queen’s womanly character and dignity. The fig ure is entirely subordinate to the archi tectural details and gorgeous adornments of the throne. In color the composition is monotonous. One painter alone, in the French sec tion, elands head and shoulders above his fellows—Dagnan-Bouveret—who was very inadequately represented at Chicago, but who is seen here at his best. His "Last Supper” is the most impressive picture in the French section. In conception, in composition, in color nnd in all artistic qualities it is one of the great pictures of our time. “The Conscripts’’—bought by the French government a few yeats ago— is another of Dagnan’s particularly line works shown, and this picture rank# among the matserpiece* of art. In the French retrospective section representing the past hundred years of painting in France—whtdh is in another part of’ the Art Palace; one finds excel lent representation of nearly all the men have contributed toward making France famous in art—including, of course, “the men of 1880.” It is a pleasure to record the fact that the United States section of fine arts is one of the most attractive of all the sec tions—not excluding that of France. This may seem a broad statement, but it is the truth. The first impression of the visitor upon entering the American galleries is of rest fulness. The walls are covered with a soft, gray-green material, having the effect of brocade, and the pictures are hung with liberal spacing—only two rows above “the line”--and in no way crowded. The dra pe rie#, fauteuils. end so forth, conform in coloring to the- scheme of the walls, and the result give* a decided feeling of relief after the heavy, conventional red-draped galleries crowded with pictures from line to cornice in most of the galleries of the other section#. Six American Galleries. There are six galleries in the United section, admirably located at the head of the great staircase at the south west corner of the rotunda of the Art Palace, and it is safe to say that these galleries contain such a representation of contemporary American pictures as never before has been assembled together. While a number of our painters of the first rank are not represented—as Tryon, Dewing, Mowbray. Colman, Wyetl, Eaton, Ryder and a few others, the works shown dis play practically the highest achievement of the exhibitors, and have a general char acter of seriousness and dignity, and a de gree of Individuality not characteristc of the general exhibit of any other section. The most noticeable work shown in this section is John S. Sargent's portrait group of Mrs. Carl Meyer and her children, rep resenting a handsome young woman In a pink dress, half reclining on a light colored tapestry covered soft, over the back of which her two children—a boy and a girl—are leaning. Artlsticaily, there is no liner work shan this in the exposi tion. 1 do not believe there Is another work in the Art Palace containing so many of the qualities which belong to the work of a great painter. Such a pic ture, like the same artist's portrait of Mr. Wertheimer—which hangs In another gallery—may be mentioned along with the great works of Velasquez and Frans Hals. The portolt of Mrs. Meyer and her children Is carried further than most of the work of Mr. Sargent, with which tho puhllc Is familiar, and shows the mar velous ability of the painter in “finishing" so as to satisfy the most exacting demand for realistic detail, while yet preserving the breadth of handling that goes with enthusiasm. Mr. Sargent's portrait of the president of Bryn Mawr Collego Is another fine work. James Mac Nell Whistler shows three Important pictures: A portrait of the art ist, portrait of a lady in black and gray, and an exquisite portrait of a lady stand ing hv a manted-plecc, with her head re , ted In a mirror. It would require nearly a column to mention and comment briefly on the noteworthy work of other American artist* shown. Nearly all the American pictures shown here have been exhibited at the academy of society exhibitions at Philadelphia, Chi cago, I’Mtaburg, Cincinnati and Bt. Louie, so that any detailed description of them is unnecessary. Exhibits of Other Countries. The British art representation is little more than o third as large as that at Chicago in 1593, and does not compare with it in excellence, and many of the strongest artists in Great Britain—espe cially the Scotchmen—are entirely unrep resented. The German exhibit, though less then a third as large as that made at Chicago is most creditable. The galle ries are handsomely decorated and the arrangement is generally excellent. The Austrian exhibit, also, is pratieularly fine —far better than that made at Chicago. The galleries containing the works of the painters of the Austrian “Secession,” and those of the artists of the Genossenschaft are simply superb in their exquisite decor ation and general arrangement. They are the most beautiful galleries in the art pal ace. The Spanish exhibit Is about half the size of that made at Chicago, and is less interesting. The Italian section is redeem ed by a most interesting collection of the remarkable work of the late Giovanni Se gantlni. Sega mini was one j>f the most individual painters of our time. His- meth od w r as absolutely his own. He wa#serious, Painstaking in the extreme, and combined impressionism, realism and poetic senti ment in hds work. Perhaps no other pic tures In the exposition will be the subject of more discussion or more diverse expres sions of opinion than his. But he was a great painter and his death was a deplor able loss to art. The Holland exhibit is much smaller than that country’s exhibit at Chicago, and is not equal to the latter in quality. Tne Belgian exhibit is also smaller than that made at Chicago, but Is rather bet ter. The Scandinavian sections, as usual, are extremely interesting. Here painters of originality and individuality predomi nate. Among these men of the North ore finds a sturdy, honest, frankness and oftentimes n most captivating n&lvebte. They paint the truth as they see It, and they see it through human eyes and feel it with very human hearts. The arti fi ial plays little part with them. Of the Swedish painters, Zorn unquestionably stands at the head, and in the art sec tion of his country he is represented by his portrait of King Oscar 11. by “The Mother” —an attractive young Swedish wo man, witii a child in her arms, and by “Midnight at Mora, June 21"—a festive scene under bright sunlight. While these are pictures of great vigor and consum mate art, Zorn is not so well represented as he was at Chicago, nor is Swedish art as a whole. As Zorn Is the leader in Sweden, so is Kroyer in Denmark. The Danish exhibit, though smaller here, is better, on an av erage, than that at Chicago. Kroyer is splendidly represented by a number of Im portant works. His “Meeting of the Roy al Academy of Science at Copenhagen” is an enormous composition filled with life-size figures. The Norwegian section Is especially strong in landscape. Ex hibits of the art of Hungary and Croa tia-Slavdnia are in galleries adjacent to those of Austria. By the lamented Mun kaesy there are two eharacteristic land scapes. The art exhibit of Russia is about double the size of the exhibit made at Chicago, but is not remarkable for ex cellence. Some of the works In the sec tion of Finland are among the best. The Swiss section contains a consider able number of pictures, hut few' whi h call for special attention. There Is little to attract one In the art exhibits of Bos rda-Herzegovina. Bulgaria. Kquador, Greece. Luxembourg. Mexico, Monaco* Nicaragua. Peru. Portugal. Roununia, Sn Marino, San Salvador. Servia, Tur key or in the small International section. The exhibit of Japan consists mainly of paintings on silk by modern artists. Is handsomely Installed in galleries adjoin ing the United States section, and is ex tremely attractive nnd Interesting. Sculpt nre. The sculpture exhibits are placed In the great court of the Grand Palace and in appropriate positions in the ground# out side. The French exhibit naturally is tho largest and contains 840 works. Next in or der are Russia with 137; Italy, with 87; Germany, 72; Ihe United States, 70; Great Britain, #2; Spain, 57; Hungary, 52; Aus tria, 46; Belgium and Switzerland, each 37; Greece. 36; Denmark. 24. and so on. The United States exhibit of sculpture ! especialy well placed. Many of the prin cipal works arc arranged in a large half circle immediately under the great dome of ihe Art Pal ice, and others at e disposed In excellent positions in the grounds. Un der the dome are the large equestrian ntatue of Gen. Sherman, by Augnatus St. Gaudens; the enormous groups of spirited horses, the Shakespeare, the Sir Henrv Mothers Don’t Seem to grasp the GIRLS’ t opportunity Dresses and Slips, Plain and Mothers nor seamstresses can ever match their utility arid beauty at twice our regular price, and this week wc Are Cutting Prices. Great Reductions in R S o iFp s Vane, the Venus and Adonis nnd the Bac chantc, by MacMounles, and the bronze fountain by Karl Bitter. Daniel t’. French’s equestrian statue of George Washington decorates the United States government building, and there also is A. Phimister Proctor’s “Quadriga." The Pil grim of Augustus St. Gaudens stands in a commanding position near the entrance to the Palace of Retrospective Art. There is enough real art at the Paris Exposition am>i>]yao repay one for ad the time and trouble necessarily involved in searching it out, but if all the really noteworthy productions only could be sep arated from the vast sea of mediocrity in which they ore mostly submerged, a most superb collection might be formed. Charles M. Kurtz. INTERESTING WORD HISTORIES. Queer Antecedents of Fain 11 in r Terms Like Hin inn rale, Tnly.lln, Bankrupt. Etc. Some words hive. histories. Other words embody hb’tory, as for example, the word rigmarole. Everybody under stands it as signifying a confused and meaningless jumble, but precious few re coil the fact ibat It comes from ragman's roll. Now the ragman's roll is a crown document of no small importance. It is a r* al roll of ancient parchment, and re cords categoiica’ly, the instrument and deeds by which Scotland’s nobility and gentry gave in their adhesion, and swore allegiance to Edward I. of England to ward th * close of the Thirteenth century. Naturally it is a somewhat confused doc ument. bui. possibly not so much con fused as confusing to the good people of its own era. It must have been unset ting in those days, to dis over that the lords and gentlemen thought to bo staunchest for the old order/ had gone over to the invading king. Yet there is something to be said for the lords and gentlemen—they loved not Scotland’s in depetuk nee less, but their h* ads and their estates rather more. Venison, which nowadays mean# al ways anl strictly the flesh of a deer, is any fish hunted—that is meat of venery. Venery is the old name for hunting—thus foxts and wolves and badg ers furnish “venison” no less than the lordly stag. Cur, the synonym for a worthless dog, has somewhat the same derivation. In feudal England the dogs of the villienage. nj doubt mostly si rav ing mongtels. were by law required to be cur-tailed—that is. have their tails cut short, so they might be readily dis tinguished from the stag and l*oar hounds of the lords and gentlemen. The stag-hounds ran true upon the scent, the mongrels would confuse and a raw them off from it. Sometimes the villien-dogs had to suffer also “hombling,” that is. cutting away the two mi ‘dl tO:S front each fore fcot. so they could not run with the hounds. A curtail-dog, or cur tie-dog. in time became simply a cur. His owners, the vlllkns who lived in clus tered hovels outside the cattle walls, in like ,manner gave rise to the word vil lage. Another wonderfully expressive phrase also come# from the hunting field, where it is to this day in comon use. It is “<o run riot.” Foxhounds run riot when they leave the drag of the fox, and go racing and chasing off upon the scent of hares and rabbits, whose company the fox seeks when he fir.ls himself pursued. Indeed, in fox-hunting parlance, ha re-scent is known as “riot.” The familiar phrase, “on the pad,” as (signifying going hither and yon, also throws hack to Reynard the tox. His feet are known techni cally as pad#—when he gets up nnd be gins to move about sportsmen say he is “on the pad.” It seems a far cry from the hunting field to the name of u fashionable coach, but It is from the hunting field the tal ly-ho gets Its title Tallis hors, pro nounced tally ho. Norman French for “ou of the thicket,” was the proper cry when the fox broke cover. The hunts men nnd the master of foxhounds an swered the cry with long blasts of the horn. Then when public coaches be gan to run, their horns blew' the tally ho blasts; further as luxury progressed finer coaches often took to the meet, and the throwing off. fine people who did not in tend to follow the bounds, but to #*c them spectacularly. Between use and luxury, the coach with seats on top. crys tallized us the tally-ho. The tally-ho ft is llkelv to remain, unless all the world should go automobile-mad.

Perhaps one of the most curious es tablishments maintained by any govern ment, is that of the New* South Wales Ayslum for Aged Women ai Newington, Tnrramatta. .Eight hundred old ladles there literally smoice their pipes in peace amid ngrcable surroundings. The grounds, shaded by gum trees, occupy a wide sur face overlooking the Tarramatta river. An old colonial mansion for tho superin tendent, and several barraek-4ike struc tures for the female pensioners are pro vided. The uniform of white poke bonnets, white or blue notion shirts, ami black and red checker-board pattern shawls, if tic void of variation, at least, when dotted all over the landscape, adds cheerful spots of color to the universally sombre hue of the gum tree foliage. Some unique peculiarities of the Insti tution impress the mind of the visitor. First, the word “pauper" Is by regula tion strictly tabooed in deference to labor sensibilities; as it is quite possible a rel ative of a member of Parliament might be found among the inmates. Th* age column, too, is a proof of longevity on the Australian continent, few of the 800 being under 70 and several over the century mark. Among the litter the old ladies are very particular that they have not been deprived of a year or two on the register. An asylum is probable the last place on earth where one would expe<4 any encour agement given to the expenditure of money even upon the most limited scale; yet such is tho case at Tarramatta, and for a sufficient reason. In order to enable the old ladles to procure a few simple requirements, wool for knitting, tobacco and so forth, the government allows each Inmate 1 cents a day. In principle tho idea is excellent, but In practice it does not always work out as intended. Noth ing alarms the superintendent more than to hear that Sarah Smith is saving her pennies, for he knows from experience Hint trouble Is sure to follow. Alcoholic liquors are strictly prohibited nt Tarramatta, hence b’arah Smith pro jects a .visit to some place where such form of- liquid refreshments can be pur chased. f Sarah fchnith having succeeded in evading the persuasive arguments of the superintendent to part with her money, Is one morning found missing with per haps 65 In her pocket. Then telephone message# commence to pour in giving dis quieting information concerning the pro gress of So rah Smith. In a black covered van. much resembling on undertaker’s wagon upon two wheels, with a pauper groom in attendance, a pauper dog slinking along underneath, and drawn by a pauper horse who we*ms pain fully conscious of his degraded position, the superintendent starts in pursuit. At the outset it might be supposed that the hunting of a poor old woman could nst offer much excitment. tha*. In fart, she would soon be captured; but generally such is far from the case. The pauper horse is compelled to draw' the, curious ve hicle over many miles of church-hole road before a trail is struck. It is astonishing how far these old ladies can travel. From roadside inn to roadside inn the guest of the checker board shawl leads on, until at last even the spirits of the. subdued quadruped revive, when one of those fa miliar garments flutter Into sight. Usual ly the old ladles are Indignant over the curtailment of their liberty, passing many uncomplimentary remarks nnent the < h.jr atcer #nd appoarnace of the superintend ent. as they ate assisted into the wagon, and slowly conveyed back to Tarra inatta.

Lawton Says There Wilt Ben Heady Response When the tall Jm Made if tlio Necessity for More Troop# In Chinn, Arisen—-Gov. Candler Sniil Georgia Can Furnish 10,090 Men—Mn van n nil Will Do Its Part. Indications point to the fact that <*re a great while has elapsed the United States may find it necessary to raise a number of regiments of volunteers, either for aervire in China, or to take the place of regiments of regulars, moved from ggr-* risen posTs to th# DSi A Washington bulletin to the Morning News yesterday, announced that it was there expected, that a special session of Congress would be called to authorize the President and the war department to raise new volunteer regiments, for thy purpose named. Though this bulletin was not afterwards confirmed by any more ex tended report, it is taken, to mean that the convening of Congress in special ses sion is certainly within the probabilities. In this state of affairs there is consid erable speculation as to the response that would probably be made by Georgia and Savannah to the President’s call for vol unteers. In a recent published statement. Gov. Candler said he believed that th# state could and would put 10,000 men 111 the field easily. Col. A. R. Lawton, who commanded the First Georgia Volunteer Infantry durln* the war with Spain, was asked yesterday for hi# opinion on the subject. * I think," he said, “that there will be a ready response to the call for volunteers from this state that in exactly propor tioned to the exigencies of the occasion. The question of Whether or not It is a man’s duty to volunteer or to stay at home is one that each of us must settl# for himself; sometimea the duty to go is imperative, sometimes the duty to remain is paramount. The result, though, is gen erally satisfactory, and generally in ac cord with the need of the nation. When, during V the Spanish war 200.000 troop# were needed, 200.000 responded, while when the volunteer regiments were recently raised, and only 35,000 wer£ need ed. only about that number volunteerod." “So I think the country will never have any difficulty in raising by volunteer en listment all the troops needed, and I am sure Georgia will not b- lacking in read iness to bear her full share of the bur den. One thing is certain—there will be plenty of volunteers willing to take upon themselves the duties nnd responsibilities of command, who will flock to the stands ard if they can get there with commis sion#.” HA* A HEW MAMAGE.fI.
