THE ROOKWOOD POTTERY.
Mr. Howard Kingsbury Writes an
Interesting Account of This
Home of Art.
PRODUCING POTTERY THAT IS A CREDIT TO THE COUNTRY.
Bow the Idea Grew With Mrs. Maiia Longwortti Stover, of Cincinnati—The "Tiger Eye."
Special Corraipomlence of the Express. CINCINNATI, August .51.—To such of your renders who have not had tho good fortune to visit the famous Rookwood pottery of this city, and yet who have an ardent love for the superb and beautiful in art, the following short account I of a three hours, visit to said industry I may, 1 trust, prove interesting. It is to liMrs. Maria Longworth Stover, of OincinInati, an earnest devotee of art in every I form, that honor is due for establishing and bringing to a state of assured buccess the Rookwood pottery.
It was founded by this lady in 1S80, and is therefore now in the ninth year of its growth. It was the grand display of •pottery, furnished by Japan and China, \lit the centennial, that lirst imbued Mrs t'-Stoner with tho idea of seeing if it were not possible for America to produce something at least akin, if not equal in :eramic art. Hacked by plenty of means, ahe undbrtook the task. At lirst an art school for painting potthe chief part of the
Ii gradually the main view was promulgated, and
iven within the short period of its existence, liockwood pottery has become fanous far and near, and specimens of its .vare can be found all over the couutry. •Yom the beginning, prolit and the comnercial side of the venture have been a iecond consideration to that of producing a pottery which should be a credit 0 the country. Notwithstanding the leavy lossos incurred in the beginning, he instinct of beauty Bnd perfection has een paramount to every other motive, duny years and much money was spent experiments with clays and glazing in egard to form and color, and in decoraion purely for effect, which have resultin the production of pieces unexcelled nywhere else for interest and beauty, 'hey have attracted the attention of onnoisseurs abroad, and the peculiar laze known as "tiger eye," and a golden heen effect, can be reckoned as chef i'Uvres of the ceramic art. In Nodiuber, 1888, at the art museum in hiladelphia, it
won
the first premiums
ir both classes for which it entered. For time at Rookwood Limoges ware was Aempted, the art of which was known ut to few. Hut finally set styles were tunned and endeavors were made to .llow the beautiful as nature teaches and of which it gives so many exarues. The aim, therefore, of the artisans *. their pottery is not to copy the style other makers but to adhere closely to •iginality and produce a ware excluvely l-iookwooii.
The only other manufactory or a comirable line is the lielluk of Trenton, ow to see a beautifully arranged disay of pottery is one thing, but to atch the process of manufacture, the «olution, as it were, of a perfect piece Igom a mass of unsightly and shapeless iy, through the different Btages of creion, is another. ou can reach the littery either by taking the steam cars the Little Miami railroad, or by
»rse car from fountain square to the gjry door. It is but eight or ten minxes ride by the former and about enty-live by the iatter.
The buildings are unpretentious, in quite shabby in appearance from exterior but within, it is full of marlous interest and beauty. The first )in is devoted to a display of finished re ready to be shipped to agents or to

ipose of to purchasers on the spot. 38 bhanan, a most attentive and obliglady, is there to take you in charge will conduct you through the differworking rooms. The second room is the basement. Here the moulder sits his revolving platform and "throws" ^es, urns and ^ovens, or whatever

desire?, at will. It is fascinating in extreme to watch how gently and ftly he will in a few moments produce •h wonderfully shaped things. At the le the writer was watching this prois he formed from the same mass of a variety of vases, and finally finished completing an Egyptian water bottle, ware after being shaped in js room is taken to the adding one, where it is dried. From jre it is again placed upon a lathe and rough edges removed. Thence it ds its way to the coloring-room. The nner of coloring is one of the peculities
kof
the Kookwood ware It is
ilied to the moist clay thus joining incorporate with it, forming niform whole, and yet with the result such a variety of tints and shades as give the ware an exquisite delicately of color found in uo other ware. V» color of the background or body of piece depends upon the character of clay compound used. Sage, white, er, terra-cotta and parian are the aes applied to five of the clays used. different glnzss produce a great iety of effects with these colorings I backgrouuds. 'rom the drying-room the different
JSS are taken to the decorating dio. As the decoration is all free -ul work, by trained artiste, there is Simit to the variety and freedom of treatment. The result is that there no two pieces alike, except as to pe. No printed patterns are ever il, and every color on the ware is ungla/.e. Six ladies and four gentleare employed in this room, and l\ but one or two exceptions have re-
ved
thier training at tne Kden Park school. young and skilled Japanese is ened in this department, and his work erhaps the finest. After the decorais have been put upon the ware they taken to the glazing-room and dipped he different glazes, according to the ct desired. After a second drying asuflicient number of pieces hare .imutated they are taken to the tiringn. Each piece is placed in an earthbov, or "sugar," and sealed. These piled within the kiiurD. one upon other, until tl enclosure will 1 no more aud the opening is bricked uid also sealed. An internal heat of 1.800 deg. Fahr. to 2,500 deg. I' ahr. ipplied for thirty hours or more, ir being taken from the tiring they allowed to cool, which takes from H? to four days. Of course great risk aids the baking process, and the very which lias received the highest in forming and the greatest care art in decorating may come from 'j furnace ruined aud worthless.

A good man/ are surprised at the ia'-her high price a asked for some of the finer specimens of finished ware. But when it is remembered that each article passed through twenty-one hands and the percentage of loss in breaking, the price does not seem exorbitant. One of the most interesting places in the pottery is the moulding room. Here instead of by the "throwing" forces, each piece is moulded and it is claimed a greater exactness is attained as to shape, especially in such articles as are made in jars. The operator not only moulds each piece but designs the pattern and constructs the mould. At the time the writer was a spectator of this process the workmen were turning out a number of ewers, and a quantity of Moorish jugs or lyge. The manager of the institution, an Englishman, Mr. Taylor, took great in teres ty in explaining the moulding process, and made it extremely clear to his listener. For many months previous to the opening of the Paris exposition a great deal of time and work w(&s devoted to producing articles worthy of display there. Hundred of specimens were sent and are now on exhibition there and will no doubt win some of the highest premiums. I was shown some duplicate BDecimens such aa they sent there. One was a vase which was of an entirely original and new shape. Another specimen was most beautifully decorated with twining vines and flowers.
A specimen vase decorated by Mrs. Stoner herself, 2* feet high, was among the specimens sent abroad, Most of the clay used in this institution is from Chattanooga, Tenn though some other colors are procured elsewhere. The more
But there was a great talk made about it, nevertheless. Diligent inquiry soon proved it to be anything but a new idea, as it was familiar in Calcutta and all the oriental capitals among English officials, who claimed it had been in use for fully a quarter of a century. Once adopted, one would suppose that this comfortable and attractive garment would be likely to stay. But fashion unfortunately, or fortunately, as the case may be, is never thoroughly itself unless it appear as a tyrant. Hence, the "Tuxedo" is no exception to the general rule, and must submit to the inevitable law of change in fashions. The jnan of sense, who keeps -within the prevailing fashion sufficiently to avoid being conspicuous by ignoring it, will therefore adopt the new swell coat for next season that will supersede the "Tuxedo." It will be a black double-breaBted sack in Saxony wool, with stitched edges, plain or double, and have hard, four-holed buffalo horn sunk buttons and lapels faced with silk to the edges. For stag parties and club purposes the hard buttons will be most favored, but when the coat is worn with the dress suit, dress buttons will obtain.
Fine Saxony cloth being now greatly in demand for dress suits, this new form of home dress coat will for that reason make its appearance quite appropriately in that material. Undoubtedly there will arise the same opposition at first, in connection with it, as was evinced in the case of the "Tuxedo." The advantage, though, which the new coat will have is the featureof permitting its wearer to change in a twinkling, as occasion may require, its entire character. Being made with a soft roll, it will be, when rolled back, as dressy as the handsome silk facing and its contrast with the shirt front and embroideried vest can very well make it. When it is buttoned up it will be snug and comfortable to smoke in, and for other purposes demanding a warm, protecting garment BS elegant and dressy as it is useful, it will be equally as acceptable. In the summer it can be very readily adjusted for an evening stroll, and thus do away with the necessity of a change upon going out, and in winter it will be an additional safeguard against the blasts of old Boreas, with its double thickness of cloth buttoned down so cosily over the chest.
How admirably adapted it is for the theater can be easily understood when one recalls the careless habit that so many have of adjourning to a cafe or wine room between acts without the precaution of an overcoat over the evening dress.
Miirriel up Among the Cloud*. In the presence of 20,000 people Miss Addie Brooks and Mr. James F. Boyd were united in marriage this afternoon, says a Manchester, N. H., special. The uuptial kuot was tied with the couple standing within a white draped car attached to a mammoth balloon, christened "Glory of the Skies." Immediately on the completion of the marriage ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Boyd began their married life, "far from the madding crowd," by a voyage among the clouds.
Tbe Manchester driving park was the scene of this most unique wedding, and the affair formed the great event of the New Hampshire state fair for 1S89.

ware is that called
the cameo aud parian. The latter, to my eye, is the most beautiful, being almost transparent and exceedingly delicate. Mrs. Stoner is at present abroad devoting her time and attention to the study of pottery, as produced in the old countries, with a view of applying the best principles, acquired in her research there, to the production of ware produced in the pottery which she has done so much to establish, and already made famous. In conclusion, let me say that when in Cincinnati, it will pay one to take a trip to the Rookwood pottery and investigate for themselves.

THE COMING COAT.
Siicoensor of tlie "Tuxedo," or Dress Sack— Whut. Jt Will Look Like. The "Tuxedo," or dress sack coat, which has been known under so many names—the "Cowes coat," the "tailless coat," the "home dress coat," etc.—is,according to latest advices, doomed. It is to have a successor. When Berry Wall first appeared in the "Tuxedo" he was ridiculed on all hands, and after fighting the matter for a little while he abandoned the idea of compelling others to imitate him.
It was not BO very long afterward, says a New York correspondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, that the general run of men in fashionable life adopted it for the club, stag parties, the dinner at home, card parties, and private billiard bouts. It was made of soft, line, round rib diagonal cloth, to match the dress suit, and had a round rolling shawl collar with silk facing to the edge of lapel. Orders were given by men over GO yearB of age for this coat to be made to be worn as a dress coat in their own diningrooms. It was not therefore a boyish "fad." It was found lo be very convenient. Sitting at his own table, a gentleman looked exactly as if he had on a stylish claw-hammer, the vest," shirt front, necktie, and other requisites of full evening dress being all correctly maintained. It was not designed as a substitute for the claw-hammer, and was not displayed on formal occasions. It was worn more as an elegant neglige coat.
TRUTHFUL HISTORIAN OF WAR.
How Slanion Whipped the Johnnies With Clubs—Veterans' Vanguard. "One battle that I participated in," said a member of a Michigan regiment to an Indianapolis News reporter, "seemed to prove that tbe science of war, as verified by such cumbersome weapons as sabers, muskets, cannons and all such paraphernalia of civilized warfare, iB a bewildering farce. "It came about that General M. D. ManBon, of Indiana, was ordered to take a thousand men, the pick of his brigade, and croBS the Tennessee river. His instructions were to ascertain the whereabouts of a rebel force, said to be detached from the main confederate army under General Bragg. Many a weary day and night did General Manson go marching, without success, over the scrubby knobs, and through the dark canebrekes of Northern Alabama. At last, late one afternoon, a scout reported that a mile in front, on Kinney branch, the "Johnnies," five thousand strong, were drawn up in order of battle. Their center was supported by artillery, and their Hanks protected by cavalry, as if expecting an attack. "Boys," spoke out the general, encouragingly, "don't get scared they are five to our one, but we can lick 'em. March all of you to that cadar thicket yonder and cut, each of you, a good club end fill your pockets with rocks." Every soldier picked out a stout cudgel and strapped it to his back. Both pockets bulged out to bursting, with stones of good throwing weight. "Now, boys," explained our general, "we'll slip up to 'ein as close ns possible without being seen when I give the word, all fire at once, then drop your musketB and grasp your clubs wait till tbe enemy fires, then, while they are fooling their time away reloading rush on 'em .each man fight on hisown hook use your rocks on the artillery and cavalry and club the infantry. "Advancing cautiously through the dense underwood we got, unobserved, within a hundred yards of the enemy's lines. The order cam1?: 'Aim at the cavalry fire!' Hundreds of the Johnnies were seen to fall from their saddles, as the stampeded horses galloped away. A moment of awful silence was followed by tbe crash and the thunder of the enemy's musketry and caunon. "'Forward!' shouted our commander, bravely leading the way. We gave a lusty cheer and followed. "'Give 'em roared out the glorious Manson, as, with a club in each hand, he, himself, mowed down great heaps of rebels.
The Johnnies at first were too much thunderstruck at the strange sight to think of resistance. The remainder of their cavalry and all of their artillery were slain, and half their infantry clubbed to death before they bethought themselves to charge with the bayonet. But what show had their clumsy muskete against quick, active clubs in the hands of determined Yankees? "I covered myself with glory and gore. With well aimed stones I hurled nine Rebel brigadiers dead from their prancing horses and beat one private to death with a club. "Only one Johnnie was allowed to escape to carry the news to General Bragg and strike terror to the heart of the Southern confederacy. "A feather bed soldier ting astride a captured notes. "Who are you, Bir?" demanded the heroic Manson, in tones of thunder. "Who am 1?" answered the featherbed, smiling serenely. "I am the truthful historian of the war I am the pea green grocer!"

AMUSKMENTS.
Hoyt's latest study "A Brass Monkey'' will be presented at Naylor's Tuesday evening by a splendid company headed by Mr. Chas. Drew and Miss Flora Walsh.
The piece had a continued run of over three months at the Bijou theatre, New York, playing^ to the largest business that was ever done at that theatre. The piece is described as being a "razzle dazzle" from the start and as good as anything Mr. Hoyt has ever written. His ingenuity in the conception of comical scenes has certainly not yet exhausted itself for there is fun enough in the new play to keep the audience laughing from start to finish. The story hangs upon the superstition attached to the figure of a bras9 monkey and as Mr. Hoyt says "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" to allay an irritation caused by the play there is no end of catchy music introduced, graceful dancing by handsome girls and many amusing specialties by just as many amusing characters. The principal characters are assumed by Charles Drew as Jonah, a victim of this and about everything else, and Baggage, Jonah's daughter, a good child, but meddlesome, by Miss Flora Walsh. The other responsible people are Doolittle Work, a graduate of a business college Dodge Work, a revengeful man August Frost, just a little too previous The Royal Bengal Tiger of the Southern Minee, avenger of his sister's wrongs Savage Hogg, a man who wants his rights Badger, his particular friend Frisco Fogg appears late in the day, but appears, just the same Mr. Barnes, of New York Mr. Potter, of Texas Maddern Sinn, administrator of the Work estate The Mascot, a terror to hard luck Birdie, Jonah's wife, special correspondent Faith Grace, Hope Grace and Charity Grace, cousins of the Works Mrs. Hogg, an old man's darling Mrs. Badger, her particular friend Virginia Bright, Ruby Royal, and citizens, auction buyers, and the rag-tag-and-bob-tail of society. The cast is a better one than is usually seen in such productions. There is nothing to equal Hoyt's "Brass Monkey" for the provocatiou of wild hilarity. The piece was written for fun and to make money, and it seems to have accomplished both. Our theater goers will no doubt turn out en masse to the Opera house on Tuesday evening. Seats go on sale Monday morning. Regular prices.
The Haverly-Cleveland minstrels, with tho6e kings of merry minstrels, Billy Emerson and Hughey Dougherty, will hold the boards at Naylor's on Saturday evening, September 7th.

Among the special features may be mentioned the Venetian Nighta first part, The Patrol March, The Egyptian Phalanx, Takaragwa's Japs and the Two Virtoes. The advance sale opens Thursday morning.
The Lilly Clay gaiety and burlesque company are to appear at Naylor's on Thursday evening, September 5. To prevent the ushers from being killed in the crush the patrons are notified that
