The annual engagement of Felix Morris at tho Grand, beginning this evening, will witness thi3 rarely gifted artist In at least two new roles and his coining to Indianapolis Is always an occasion of special Interest to the general theater-goer and lovers of true art. Mr. Morris 13 not only a great artist, but a scholar, a student and linguist as well. In any character he may be seen the hand of the master is strongly apparent, his interpretations are lifelike even to the smallest details. In his new play, "Behind the Scenes." as Achille Talma Duford, Mr. Morris is said to have one of the strongest roles ia which he has been seen. Ills work is arranged and adapted; from the French "La, Debutante," by Mr. Morris himself. It is In three acts and Introduces several well-known characters, bright dialogue, humorous situations and novel stage settings. In befitting contrast "A Game of Carus," is a dainty oneavt sketch, pathetic in nature, showing Mr. Morris as the Chevalier De Rockel'errler. This will be given as a prelude to "Behind the Scenes," for the opening and on Saturday night. "The Old Musician," another most striking and delicious oneaet play. In which Mr. Morris will be seen as Monsieur Jacques, will be given on Friday night with "The Best Man," Mr. Ralph Lumley's farce-comedy, in three acts, which proved one of the big successes of the present season in England. Mr. Morris la here seen in another new characterization and unlike anything In which he has been seen before, that of Prince Pattlow, a director of the Great Southern Railway. Mr. Liumley's play gives excellent opportunity for the caste In support; the lines are bright and out of the complications arising from the loss of some Jewels there is much genuine humor. At the matinee on Saturday, as a prelude to "The Best Man," will be seen. Minnie Maddern Flake's delightful one-act play, "The Rose," in which Mr. Morris takes the part of Count de Rohan Hsenbevk.' Great Show Next Week. The coming of Carl Hagenbeck's wonderful trained animals and xoologlcal circus to Indianapolis next week will be one of the best entertainments of the season. This, the greatest trained animal exhibit .in the world, and a veritable winter circus, will arrive Sunday afternoon on a special train of twelve cars from Cincinnati. Everything will be taken to English's Opera House, where special arrangements are being made to receive these magnificent specimens of the animal kingdom. They include live Nubian liona, elepiiants, tigers, bears, leopards, monkeys, seals, storks, peccaries, horses, dogs and other animals. The exhibitions last two hours and a half and take place in a fifty-foot steel cage, which will occupy the big stage at English's, extending out over the orchestra. It will be a strange sight to see a lion and tiger ride horseback, a man armed only with a light whip lying on top of a group of live monster beasts, elephants waltzing, seals smoking pipes and playing on the banjo and great groups of animals from all parts of the globe in a cag together, forming zoological pyramids. The opening performance is next Monday night, and beginning with Tuesday there will be a matinee each day. The prices will be popular and children under twelve will be charged oniy half price at all performances. The Holmes Lecture. Next Monday evening at Plymouth Church will be given the first of a series of lectures 01 a country of which little has ever been told. Mr. E. Burton Holmes made last year extended Journeys into the interior of northern Africa for the sole purpose of gathering materials for lectures on new subjects. With his cameras he recorded incidents of that trip that have made it possible to give to the public, pictures and narratives never given from any platform. Mr. Holmes comes to Indianapolis from a successful course In Chicago. V. J. Scunlnn Dying;. NEW YORK. Jan. 2. William J. Scanlan, who was a universal favorite on the vaudeville stage,, is reported to be at the point of death at White Plains Insane Asylum.

Hopkins, who achieved such distinguished success in managing the Howard Athenaeum and the Transoceanic companies. There are very few theater-goers in this country who have not heard of J. W. Kelly, better known as the "rolling mill man," who will make hi3 first appearance In this city at the Empire next week with H. W. Williams's company of vaudeville stats. The theatrical and news columns of all the big city papers have often profited by stories of Kelly and his ability as an entertainer is one of the most unique endowments of any genius before the public. Another star with the company is Miss Imogene Comer, the great contralto, who is rivaling Miss Mora in popularity. The school children's matinee Saturday at English's Is expected to draw hundreds of little ones to that theater. "The Witch of Endor" will prove a gorgeous spectacle for their wondering eyes. This production is attracting much attention, and the performances each evening run smoothly and furnish a pleasing entertainment. The children's dances and the marches are especially attractive. The noble cause of the German Ladies' Aid Society should be amply aided by these performances, which are for its benefit. The only matinee is that of Saturday, with popular prices at aU performances.

PUZZLES THE SOLONS

SIXTY-FIVE PERSOXS WAXT TO BE STATE LIBRAlUAJf. " Candidates for Minor Offices Beginning: to Arrive In the City Xotes of Legislators. The large number of candidates for State Librarian has led a number of the members of the Legislature to discus3 a plan for filling the office without balloting In caucus. There are, up to date, sixty-one candidates, a majority of whom are women, with new candidates bobbing up at the rate of one a day. If the caucus should begin to ballot on so many candidates, the result might be uncertain for several days. It has been suggested by 6everal legislators that a commission, outside the Legislature, be appointed to consider the claims of the various applicants, the selection of the commission to be final, or to be afterward ratified by the caucus. It Is hardly probable that the caucus will take up this office the night the officers and clerks are chosen. The Republican caucus of the lower house will meet on Wednesday night, Jan. 9, in the Agricultural room of the Statehouse. The Senate caucus will meet in Room 93. The Democrats will occupy Rooms 91 and 120. Custodian Griffin, has supplied the desks with the full equipment of pens, pencil?, paper, ink, etc., and 'will not permit these to be disturbed until the day of the opening of the session, when members will be hteunded keys to Ahelr desks. There will be a young woman stenographer in each chamber who will be available to members of the house, and will receive the fees as her own. There is no responsibility assumed by the State in the matter, and their position! will be similar to that of the stenggraphers . in hotel corridors. The. places have already been spoken for by two young women of this city. . . CANDIDATES ARE ARRIVING. Some Come in, Look Over the Field anil Then Go Home Again. Q. K. Groves, of Tobinsport, and James E. Southard, of Frankfort, arrived yesterday to press their - candidacy for the position of Doorkeeper of the House. They are anxious for the members to begin to arrive, but only a few have done so as yet, and most that have are members of the upper house. The Marlon county members, of course, have local candidates for Speaker whose interests they must first serve, so that they are prevented from taking sides with, the candidates for minor positions from other parts of the State. R. A. Brown, candidate for Clerk of the House, was in town last night. He will be in town again Friday. The serious illness of his mother keep3 him from taking as active a part In his canvass as he desires. Thomas P. Moore, candidate for Speaker, w"as also in 'town yesterday, but when he saw that there was no game to hunt in his own interest he returned, with a promise to be on hand sure next Monday. R. E. Mansfield's friends have sprung his name for assistant clerk of the House. The only candidate thus far Is Dr. Wright, of Russiaville, who has a pretty strong backing. Mr. Mansfield, who was secretary of the Indiana Lincoln League, has not yet made known his decision in the matter. Colonel Olive, who Is a candidate for assistant secretary of the Senate, says the report that he has been appointed, insurance clerk under Auditor of State Dally is not correct, so far as he Jcnows. He says that he Is a candidate for the position in the Senate for the reason that he does not know what Mr. Daily intends to do. The contest for the speakership is daily growing more and more interesting, and affords more and more the opportunity for charges, if not the fact, of combinations. The list of candidates is large, with a half-dozen of them acknowledged as likely to win. Much interest attends every arrival of a candidate or inember. The arrivals are not expected in large numbers until next Monday. . .. . MRS. BUCHANAN'S BILL. Wants Police Matrons In All Cities of Store Than Ten Thousand. Police Matron Buchanan made an earnest effort two years ago to have a bill passed by the Legislature providing for the appointment of police matrons in all cities having ten thousand or more inhabitants. The effort failed, but she will renew it this year. In this movement she has the indorsement of the leading women of the State ?ho are interested In the condition of fallen womanhood. She has prepared a petition to each house, which has been signed by Mayor Denny, Prosecuting Attorney Wiltsie, Police Judge Stubbs, Superintendent of Police Powell, Edgar A. Brown, Judge of the Circuit Court; John L. McMaster, Lawson M. Harvey, Judges of the Superior Court; John W. Kealing, P. C. Trualer, S. N. Gold, township trustee; Sterling R. Holt, county treasurer; Ernest BIcknell, secretary of the State Board of Charities; H. H. Hanna, president of the Charity Organization Society; Thomas L. Sullivan, ex-Mayor; Frank H. Blackledge, attorney for the Bureau of Justice; John M. Butler, Wm. H. Dye, Rev. M. L. Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church ;i A. M. Fletcher, John H. Holliday, Kliza A. Blaker and many others. She is still seeking signatures, desiring to have the petition go to the Legislature as strongly indorsed as possible. She has given wide study to the problems involved Nine States, ertie says, have adopted such a law and in nine more the law allows the municipal corporations to appoint police matrons if it is thought advisable. The text of the bill which Mrs. Buchanan hopes to fee adopted is as follows: "An act to authorize cities containing a population of ten thousand or more to create the office of police matron, and to provide for compensation of same. "Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana that in cities containing a population of ten thousand or more, the board of police commissioners, or. if there be no police commissioners, then the Mayor or such other authority as may have the appointment of polite officers sfaall appoint a police matron with such assistants as may be necessary, whose duty it shall be to receive, take charge of, search and properly care for at the Jail or station house all female prisoners and all children under the age of fourteen years who shall be arrested and detained in custody in such city. "Sec. 2. Such police matron, when so appointed, shall be a member of the police force of sucih city, and shall have all the authority now delegated to a police officer, and shall be subject to such rules and regulations as shall be prescribed for the government of the por.ee force of such city, and may be removed by the appointing power for good cause shown. See. 3. Such police matron shall have proper accommodations for herself and for all prisoners tinder her control. She shall be Jailer in charge of the female department of the station house or Jail (when such prisoners are confined in a Jail), with all the powers and duties of a member of the police force, and shall have authorl.y to summon any policeman or other person to her aid when aid is required. Such police matron shall be paid a salary equal to the salary of a regular patrolman, and Uier assistant or assistants shall be paid such salary or salaries as the appointing power may deem sufficient. "Sec. 4. The police matron or her a?slstant shall be in attendance in all courts when women are to be tried, and shall have charge of all such women, whether criminal or insane, and of all girls while such persons are awaiting trial or transfer to or from any place of detention. "Sec. 5. Such police matron shall not be under thirty-five years of age,' fully qualified, of good moral character, and, before appointment, must be recommended in writing by not less than twenty women and five men, all of whom must be person of pood standing and character in such city, and all of whom shall have been residents of such city for at least five years next previous to such appointment. "Sec. 6. An emergency Is hereby declared to exist for the Immediate taking effect of this act, and the same shall be in force from and after Its passage." Hon. .1. I'?. AVninon to Speak. Hon. James K. Watson will address the Republican Commercial Travelers' Club next Saturday night at the rooms in the When Block. It was expected that Hon. J. Frank Hanley. of tfie Ninth district, would make che first address, but he will be taiued, and Mr. Watson, has consented

-rrr

to sneak instead. The rjublic Is invited to attend. The Republican cluba are especial ly invited. ' v Notes of Legislators. Senator Haggard has", taken rooms at the Deniaon and will be here permanently. tSenator Thaver. who is taking medical treatment, will be here for several months. State Chairman John K. Gowdy was In town yesterday to participate in some committee work. , - Representative John McGregor went to St. Louis yesterday to attend the International Stonecutters' Union, of which he is president. THE QUESTION AT ISSUE. Shall "We Have a State University or Shall We Not? To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The discussion which began & few months ago concerning a proposition to remove the State University from Bloomington to Indianaplis has been narrowed to the one question, shall we have a State University or shall we not? There never was anything in the removal question, anyway. It never had a corporal's guard in ravor of it; least of all did anybody in Indianapolis ever advance it unless it was upon the sole supposition , that such a location would be best for all concerned, iust as it is better to have the Statehouse and its belongings here than at Bloomington or any other out-of-the-way town. The local advantage of either the Statehouse or the university's being here is so infinitesimal as to be unappreciable among the elements of our prosw perity. We don't care for either except as a matter of accommodation to the State at large. ' This much must , be taken for granted in all intelligent discussion of the university question: We have no university now, except in name, and that the $105,000 annually collected for the university, together with, the frequent and very liberal appropriations for specific purposes, have not lifted it above the grade ; of ' a college of the liberal arts, and that as such it is not superior to several of the colleges of the State which are supported simply as private enterprises, whether we Judge by the quantity or quality of its output, and further, that we are brought to the forks of the road.' Evidently the taxpayers of the State are not in the mood to continue the present methods without more marked results; hence they are debating whether to abandon State aid entirely beyond the proceeds of the liberal endowment or to add millions to it and make a university we will be proud of. But this suggests a very pertinent preliminary question: Is there a demand for such a university? The question of money is secondary. We have it in abundance and are willing and even anxious to bestow it if there is a necessity. The older citizens of Indiana will remember that about fifty years ago there was a college epidemic in the State. Every town wanted one and some wanted two or more. During its prevalence the Methodist Church alone rounded twenty-three and other churches about as many, but after the sinking of hundreds of thousands of dollars to accomplish the Impossible, one by one they went out, leaving nothing to perpetuate their memory but here and there huge and expensive piles of briok and mortar, much of which has passed Into the public school system or into private hands. We are Just now wrestling with a university epidemic. Every State wants one, regardless of the law of supply and demand, to which all must succumb sooner or later. It was not the want of money which proved fatal to the colleges so Jealously begun during the college epidemic, but a want of demand for them. James A. Garfield said: "With Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a bright youth, on the other end, you have a university." That is a forceful panegyric, but it Is as untrue as an epitaph. It takes more than, one Hopkins and one youth and one log to make a university, . and in spite cf money or the lack of money the law of demand is the omnipltent factor. Does Indiana need a local university under the shadow of Chicago University, which, has millions of of money and every other essential condition of success, not to mention Michigan and Wisconsin Universities, which have not only absorbed millions, but each of which is to-day demanding ntore and more? When the State of Ohio, In 1H62, received her agricultural land grant she practically let the Ohio University, at Athens, depend wholly upon her endowment funds while she founded, a real university at Columbus, supplementing the grant with Money from the treasury. It has several schools in the university, "but more than a half million of dollars have been gathered by taxation as an additional fund, with annual appropriations for specific purposes and yet the university is unable to live without more money. In- ft" late appeal to the Ohio Legislature the president says: "More buildings must be erected; more apparatus must be provided; more laboratories must be opened; a great library must be built up; there is no retreat; the State has begun a great work and she cannot abandon it." This is so Tike the stereotyped demand of our own university , that it seems to be inspired by a similar condition. ' The object of this paper is not to take either side of the burning question,! but to state frankly the condition of affairs. We have no university except in name, though we are lavishing hundreds of thousands of dollars lipon what we claim to have. We can have no university without a liberality hitherto unknown, with an assurance that our appropriations will never cease, but grow larger as time passes. Both Wisconsin and Michigan Universities are before their respective Legislatures for larger appropriations. ' This is inevitable. The question for us to solve at this fork of the road is, shall we undertake a rival work? Shall we build a State university? The question of the location of a State university is auite secondary to the ques tion, shall we have one? Ohio combined her State funas witn ner agricultural iunas. If we must have a university It is an open question whether to build to the nucleus at Bloomington, if what -we have there may be called a nucleus, or build to the fresher nucleus at Purdue. That there is much more university appliance at Purdue than at Bloomington is quite certain. Whether Lafayette affords better facilities and is a better location, I do not attempt to say. It i3 worthy of investigation before we go too far in our appropriations for buildings, apparatus, libraries and the like. It may be worth while to consider Indianapolis even as a possible location, but not for the sake of Indianapolis, but for the sake of the university. It is not imnrobable that the arsenal grounds might be obtained on favorable terms if the out counties did not make it a part of their religion, as well as their politics, to fight every thing and every body tnat belongs to IndianaDolis. But the question Is not where we shall locate our university, but whether we shall have a state university at all or not. Is there a demand for It? Have we not too many already? Can we afford to fight the law of demand merely be cause we have plenty or money.' Indianapolis, Jan. 2. . U. L. SEE. It In Still With Is. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: As the Democratic party is in its senectus (the last period of life; It Is characterized by progressive diminution of the physical and mental faculties), one is reminded of what Bob Ingersoll said of it years ago. In speaking of its imbecility and how it dis appointed when in power, every hope, even of its friends, and how prolific It was in promises before election of what it would do, etc., he said it reminded him of an old mill that he had lately seen. The dam was gone and there was not a drop of water that could be used to turn a wheel; the millstones lay out on the bank; the roof had fallen in, and the weather boarding was gone, so the pigs could wander around among the ruins at their wili, and still above the portal was the sign. "Cash naid for wheat; $1.25 for wheat." Since last November even the old sign is torn downnothing left but the senectus. I desire to commend the college presidents or inaianapons ror tneir wise action in putting a. stop to inter-collegiate football games. I know parents who are keeping their sons away from and others who send them to college with fear and trembling for fear they would be drawn Into football. More than one has asked me to notify them if I hear of their son playing football. Such men as Doctor Johns will do to trust a man with the courage of his convictions. My hope of reform diminished when I heard the president of one of our great Christian colleges say to a congregation of young men, "I believe If Jesus Christ was In the wtrld to-day He, Would DUy football." I thought him a sacrlleelst and being so far removed from the en thusiasm or youtn 1 expected better things of him. still. 1 could see the great ad vantage in a football team having such a player. It could not be said then, as It Is now, that "He wasn't in it." He could cast out all the devils." "No man laid hands on him because His time had not come." "He passed through their midst" what a grand center rush! lie would keep the goal in signt, etc i;ip: an: unsi: iiurran! Hurrah! for Just-Twist!" Craw ford sville, Ind., Jan. 2. - , T. F. LEECH.

THE MONKS OF ATH0S

STRANGE MEX WHO INHABIT THE FAMOUS GRECIAN MOUNTAINS. Great : Antiquity of the Buildings Shrines Richly Decorated with the Work of Goldsmiths. London Letter. The region of Mount Athos Is as Strang as are the persons and habitations of its occupants, for natives they are not. The monasteries properly so called are twenty in number' and dispersed over every part of the peninsula. These have their several estates, both within the territory of Athos and elsewhere; they have each the right of self-government, as well as a share in the government of the community. In addition to these there is a class of religious house subordinate to the others and without any independent . corporate existence. These are called asceterla, and are subject to ore or other of the principal monasteries, being governed by an officer appointed by them. To the monasteries and their dependent asceterla must be added an innumerable quantity of cells and hermitages grouped around the asceterla, clustered together, or standing solitary in almost every part of the holy mountain. The holy mountain is second only to Jerusalem in the estimation of all pilgrims of the Greek faith. Mount Athos affords a combination of natural beauties rare In the East, the 6cenery and vegetation being of unusual variety. Its shape is long and narrow, having an average breadth of four miles, while its length Is forty miles. There Is but little level land on the peninsula, the ridge of hills running down the center as a rule running down to the shore. The peak rises like a pyramid with a steep summit of white marble to a height ' of nealy 7,000 feet, and is the terminal peak of the most eastern of the three peninsula promontories which stretch south from the coast of Turkey into the archipelago. Its position in the waters keeps the forests of Mount Athos fresh and green, and the climate is for the most part healthy and pleasant. ORIGIN LOST IN OBSCURITY. The origin of the ecclesiastical state residing In Mount Athos appears lost In obscurity, but from evidences extant It 13 found to be very ancient, and that comparatively few vicissitudes have befallen the strange community since its foundation. It is believed that except the dwellings of Pompeii some buildings in Athos are the oldest specimens of domestic architecture in Europe. The shrines are In many instances richly decorated with goldsmith's -work of great antiquity. The wealth, too, of the monastic libraries in illuminated manuscripts is immense, but, unfortunately, in spite of much leisure and rich material, little historical research goes on. The monasteries appear to have no ohronicles or archives, but some have In recent years been found to possess charters and title deeds, grants made by Byzantine emperors with the ancient grold seals still attached. The monks are divided into three progressive classes. On entering the monas tery tney undergo a novitiate of three years, from which they advance to the degree of the lesser habit, and in rare instances, except at the hour of death, to that of the greater habit. On admission to the monastery the candidate pledges himself to abide perpetually in the monastic life, in celibacy, temperance and piety, in obedience to the superior and to all the brotherhood. The lesser habit, although practically the condition In which their lives are passed, is properly regarded as prospective, and the monk or caloyen who Is invested with It Is expressly stated to receive it as an earnest of the greater habit. When he is admitted to the highest order he repeats his former pledges, and adds a solemn renunciation of "the world and the things that are therein, according to the commandment of the Lord." The discipline is severe and the services long and laborious. All are bound, besides vigils, Ember days, and special or local fasts, to keep four "Lents." comprising Lent proper. Advent, and two periods, one, variable, according to other feasts, preceding Sts. Peter and Paul, and the other of a fortnight preceding the Assumption. Several specified days are fasts In the absolute . sense of. the word, though the feebler members are by custom allowed the use of & little bread and water, which Is placed ready on the refectory table. The offices sometimes occupy sixteen or seventeen hours and about eight to ten common days, while in the mortuary chapel prayers never cease, the monks relieving each other every two hours. The monks never sleep more than five or six hours. They go to their, cells at 8 or 9 in the evening, and they are aroused at 2 in the morning for early prayers. They never taste flesh meat at all; on 159 days in the year they have only one meal, and at this eggs, cheese, wine, fish, milk and oil are forbidden them (though allowed on the other days) and their diet consists merely of vegetables and bread boiled in water. On no day have they more than two meals. By far the "greater part of the monks are engaged in manual labor. They mostly wear the Albanian costume a shirt and kilt of white cloth closely pleated, with a vest of dark cloth all over gold braid, gilt-buttoned' gaiters, and a profusion of small weapons stuck In a gray-colored sash. The hospital, the pharmacy, the kitchen, and storehouses occupy many of the monks, the libraries many more, the sacristy and treasury some, while a few are scholars or artists. One stringent and universal rule applying to the peninsula is the exclusion, not only of women, but as far as Is possible of every female animal, so that neither milk, butter, nor eggs can be had, although the latter are occasionally imported. Oil is the universal kitchen condiment; dried vegetables, salt fish, pickled olives and blaok bread are staples. WINES AND TWO SORTS OF LIQUORS. The drink is more varied and excellent, for in addition to the pure water of the many mountain springs there is wine and two sorts of liquors, one called rakl, or aniseed brandy, the other mastic, or raki with an infusion of a vegetable gum called mastic, Raki forms one of the conversational signs of greetings and hospitality. A young monk brings in on a salver a vase full of sweet preserve or dried fruits and several large glasses of water, and a corresponding number of small ones of rakl. The monks call themselves "an everlasting nation, in which no man Is ever born," but in spite of their exaggerated misogyny it is as well to note that the mountain is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. One of the monasteries is also under the patronage of another woman, St. Anne, and some of the most precious relics are said to have been brought to the holy mountain by an unknown woman whom tradition calls "the beautiful Mary." The case of a shipwrecked woman being thrown on the coast is foreseen and provided for. The oldest monks in the community would take charge of her for the shortest possible time consistent with humanity; she would be housed apart from any other habitation in a lonely part of the mountain and at the earliest possible moment taken by boat to the nearest port, Russians, Servians, Bulgarians, Roumanians, etc, have foundations among the monasteries, and contribute in many ways to support their national communities. The monastic republic Is protected and respected by the Ottoman government in consideration of a heavy yearly tribute. The Byzantine school of painting has Its headquarters here, and continues its old traditions with hardly a ray of Western Influence to modify, its spirit. To the learned the Byzantine pictures form one of the chief attractions of his singular oommunity. Beautiful metal work is an old tradition of the Greek Church, and the crosses, censers, lamps, chalices, etc., of the mountain monasteries, not to speak of their chased and Jeweled reliquaries, are treasures in themselves. The shrines in the churches there is only one altar are often furnished with reading desks of precious woods iniaid with mother of pearl. No fewer than &" churches, chapels, and oratories are said to exist, and there are about 3,000 monks. Very few of the Athos monks have been brought up to the monastic life, the majority of them embrace it after a longer or shorter experience of those delights which the world can offer. It Is almost like a fairy tale to hear and learn of the doings of this sequestered community, undisturbed by the bustle and turmoil of the nineteenth century. The contemplative life has little or no room In modem Europe, so fast da we live, so that we scarce can realize the truth that here on this hallowed ground there Is absolute tranquillity and peace.

Fragrant, Exhilarating The FufcIic Favorite. manufactured toy THE SKETCHING CLUB WINDOW. A Dissertation on Colored. Ciliis as Illustrated by Tiffany's Work. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: As there is nothing elsen the world like a fine colored glass window, the presence of such a one in this city is exciting the admiration of all lovers of true art. A colored glass window is not only a picture but a means of transmitting light. It illustrates a new departure in the use of glass as a promoter of true art. The American artist in glass is too much of an artist to imitate the . works' of the past, however beautiful they may be. He sees that to Imitate the art of bygone ages Is an open confession of Inferiority, and the making a copy do duty for an original is a plagiarism, which is contradictory to the generally accepted principle that the true aim of art 13 to create and not to imitate. He has endeavored to work on original lines, although he never hesitates to use and develop medieval motives when they will serve hia purpose, yet he Is careful to work them out in conformity with the demands of the day, under the guidance of modern cutlure and the ever increasing volume of knowledge. He knows that It is Impossible to recall the spirit of the dead workman, the spirit of the middle ages, the aggregation of influences and forces that brought their work Into being; he Is essentially a man of to-day, using all the past can teach him iir union with all that modern training can give him in skill of hand and in modern science in instruments and materials, keeping himself in touch with his age. Therefore we find that his work is original, a creation and not an imitation, the embodiment of an artistic thought and not a feeble portrayal of an effete idea of another period. The principle of the American school) of glass has been to develop the mosaic system of the middle ages, and as a result, the work has been carried out with great and constantly Increasing success. The German, English and French have not attained perfection in glass, artistically, because they have not followed the mosaic system. They Insist upon, looking at a window as they would a canvas, not as a transparent mosaic. The American seeks for perfect color effects, giving little heed to form as he considers it a secondary matter. For this reason he has been found fault with by foreign critics who' have been accustomed to the crude color of Bavarian, Belgian and French modern glass or to the unsatisfactory work of England, and who are not capable of understanding our advance. Even in nature perfect color and perfect form are seldom found united. Jiuskin. says: "Color, to be perfect, must have a soft outline or a simple one, it cannot have a refined one; and you will never produce a good painted window with good ligure drawing in it. You will lose perfection of color as you give perfection of line. Even in figure painting the greatest colorIsts have either melted their outlines away as often Coreggio and Rubens, or purposely made their masses of ungainly shape as Titian. American artists in glass are essentially eolorists and masters of their materials. They have alredy won reeognl- ' tion from foreign artistic nations. Only a few days ago Louis Tiffany was distinguished by a foreign honor in appreciation of the great results that he has obtained after ten years' practical study of colored glass. Jvlr. Tiffany has aimed particularly to develop the inherent properties of glass to their fullest extent," In color and texture, In order to obtain In the giass Itself light and shade through depth and irregularity of color united with inequality of surface, in that way hoping to avoid the dullness and "opacity" which always accompany the use of paint. Colored glaps is obtained by mixing metallic oxides while they are in a state of fusion. Tna color penetrates the entire substance of the glass and the coloring materials are part of the original composition of the glasy itself. Such glass is full of varieties of a given color, uneven in thickness and full of little air bubbles and other accidents which cause the ray of light to play in and out with endless varieties of effect. One magnificent effect of the work is obtained by contrasting the rich colors of metals with the pearl-like tones of the clear glass. The mosaic method Is artistically excellent, being the putting together of various pieces of glass of different colors and shades so as to form a translucent picture where depth ot color, light and shade, correctness of drawing ana distinctness are carefully preserved. Ir this art nothing can be left to the mechanic, as the final result deuends upon the proper adjustment of the color values andthe artiauc arrangement or the grooved
