About the time that some of these cousins got us to believing that he was a Pennsylvania Dutchman, a Phosoix yille, Pa., Kruger bobs up and de clares thst he is a sure-enough Hol land Dutehman, that neither he nor his parents ever saw this opuntry, and that be went straight from Hol land to South Africa forty-five years ago, where he drove his stakes and stuck. But there are doubtless some other Krugers yet to be heard from. An expedition will shortly be fitted put to go in search of the South Pole, to be under: the command of Borchgrevink, the Norwegian" ex plorer, who went on a . cruise among the antartic ice fields last year: and succeeded in making a landing on what he believes to be the antarctic continent, which he estimates con tains about 4,000,000 square miles.' He feels confident that he can do it again, and mark the way for future and successful explorations of that unknown land. Mr. Harrison's letter declining to be a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Presidency pleases Mr. Allison s friends. And it doubt-i less pleases the friends of otherrgen t'emen who are looking in the direc tion of St. Louis. 1 But Mr. Harrison didn't figure conspicuously enough to make his announcement a cause for much exhilaration among those who. still occupy the bench of expec tation. - - , A New Yock Agricultural Society objects to increasing the salary of the county judge while potatoes are selling for 10 cents a bushel. The price of potatoes isn!t precisely a fair standard by . which . to judge the. value of a judge's services, but the potato growers probably think that while a judge can eat potatoes, at 10 cents a bushel he can afford to dis pense law and j ustice cheap. D. McFarlan Moore, of New York, claims to have solved -the problem of producing electric light without heat, a problem on which Nikola Tesla has been working, and with some success, for some time. The light issues from glass tubes, which make the room In which they are used as light as day.' J Max O'Rell boldly proclaims that he doesn't know where Venezula is and doesn't Care. When Gen.

Walters Art Gallery, in the home of Mr. Henry Walters, at 5 West Mt. Vernon Piace, will be opened to-day to the public for the first time for a year. The arrangement cf the late William T. Walters by which his great collection was to be opened on the Wednesdays of February, March and April for the ben efit of the Poor Association has been continued by his son,. Mr. Henry Wal ters. Tickets of admission have to be secured in advance at the headquarters of the' Poor Association, on Saratoga street, near Charles strett. The modern masterpieces of the Wal ters collection are described in a unique volume recently issued under the title of "Notes Critical and Biographical on the Collection of William T. Walters." Richard B.' Gruelle is the author of the volume which is edited by J, M.' Bowles. ta Both of them are art connoisseurs of national reputation. - " " '.;; -Ths pictures in the collection repre senting the different schools of modern painting are minutely described in a critical but appreciative spirit, and sepa rate chapters are devoted to the Biyre collection, the peachbloom vase, a re markable head in wax said to be by Raphael, the oriental bronzes, the chief water colors, ivories and miniatures. The text is superbly printed on a special grade of paper in oid Eaglish black faced type, with side notes and quota tions in red.; Through the volume are scores of medieval initial letters and headbands, which, with a title page of similar type, are .the work : of Bruce RogeiS. -:y r v ' v Two pages of the volume are taken up with a d. scription of the matchless beantv of the peachbloom vase. There has always been a ques:ioa as to who was really the purchaser of this famous vase when it was so'd at auction at an excessively high price some ten" years ago, so that Mr. Graelle's article must be accepted ss the first statement that it is in the Walters collection. Mr. Wil liam T. Walters never stated publicly that he owned it, and the vase was never included in that portion of his art treas ures shown to the public. Mr Gruelle says of the vase: "It is the perfect flow ering of hundreds of years of oriental art, the culmination of centuries of the most sacred devotion to the shrine of beauty. It Is a gem that needs no setting;' so frail, so ptrlect, that contrast with things less esthetic seems almost sacri-. ligious." In his introduction Mr. Gruelle pays a tribute to Mr. William T. Walters and his collection in these words: "To the artist'as well as the public the educa tional value of the collection cannot be overestimated. It is -an honor to our country and stands as a beautiful monu ment of the true use of wealth. . Of him whose life work is treasured in this resi dence wbrds of praise are unnecessary.; It is a grand realization of the dreams of his youth dreams whose fulfillment then was visible only in the boundless possibilities of the green world that lay before him. Like a gardener on the silvery side of Hie who is 1 found among the plants and flowers which he has nurtured and seen grow into the fullness of nature, so did he for years watch the development of this beautiful collection, and with loving care con stantly added and weeded out until one would linger Iong ere displacing a single object. Between him and many of the most illustrious of the artists repre sented bonds of friendship have existed which greatly endeared their works to him. His work exemplified in the for mation of this collection implies a genius as peculiar -and distinct in its way as any of these masters." THE ROSEBo"rO ROBBERY.
