Waibinote!, May 2. In this anni
vemry week, when the eyes of the
patriotle million of the republic ere
turning toward the great men of the
past, let us take a leek In the Valhalla,
the national Pantheon, the republic's
gallery of statuary. This old hall of the
beuse of representatives, wherein the
lower branch of congress sat for thirty
two years, though as marble cold, is
warm with inspiration. It is perfumed
with sentiment. Here Webster spoke,
Clay presided. Adams fell at his pest.
Here, tee, during the late war, volun
teers were quartered, and, later, wound
d veterans were nursed. A happy
thought that of Senater Merrill, new
the Nester of the Capitel, who,
In 1804, moved te set apart this
old hall for a gallery of statuary.
Each state was invited te send two stat
ue, nnd what n gallery of greatuess it
will be when all of the forty-two Btates
new existing or in immediate prospect
ahall have compiled, te say nothing of
the status of the future. The smallest
etatowasthe first te accept the invita
tion, quickly followed by the largest.As
yet only ten states have sent here the
marble or bronze figures of their well
loved sons, being embarrassed, probably,
by richness of material te select from;
but the government has added several
statues, se that as we enter from the 10
tunda of the Capitel's majestic deme
we are confronted by two dozen full
length figures of men who were great in
their life, and who will never die in the
hearts of their countrymen. Instinct
ively heads are uncovered as we enter.
The present is forgotten and only the
past seems real In this sacred presence.
Who is this at our left, standing erect
and majestie at the gateway? Fitting
that he should
first nttract our
attention, for it
was he Samuel
Adams "Sam
uel the Publican"
who first pjo pje
tcsted against
England's op
pressive stnmp
act, the sauie
Adams who n b
early as 17C9 de
clared: "Inde
pendent we ere
nnd independent
we will be," As
he stands befere

dence, determin
ation expressed in face and posture, we
think we hear him saying te his majes
ty's officer, who has consented te with
draw one of two regiments of soldiery
'occupying Bosten: "Sir, night is op ep ep
preaching; an bnmediate answer is ex
pected. Beth regiments or none." Who
that leeks at this well poised, forceful
figure will doubt the truth of history
which records that both regiments were
promptly withdrawn? Could Massachu
setts have choseu a better representative
than this peer but incorruptible forerun
ner of Independence, who, with Jehn
Hancock, had the honor of being ex
cepted from Gen. Qage'a offer of pardon
te all who would submit te the crown?
"Next te Adams stands a fine figure in
'Spanish cloak, holding in his hand tha
constitution of hi state of Maine, Wil
liam King, who was an early advocate
of partition of Maine from Massachu
setts and Mnine's first governor. As yet
Maine has but ene representative In this
Pantheon. Is bhe awaiting an opportu
nity te send here the figure of ene new
living?
And this figure next te King, jellew
with age and its skin peeling oil in
blisters, stair in hand and cloak and sword
rchting en a bundle of licter's reds.
This is Heuden's Washington, a plaster
copy of the original new in Kiclunend.
The face is thin nnd rather old, devoid of
life nnd expression by no means an
ideal Washington and yet It was made
aftercareful life study by the artist at
Mt, Vernou.
, By Washington's side, appropriately,
Stands Tltemas JelTersen in hrouze. The
long, thin face is almost tharp. The hair
covers the ears and is tied behind. The
shoes have no heels. Between the feet
are two books, surmounted by n wreath.
In the hand is a quill, and near by is a
brenze 6crell en which the whele of the
Declaration of Independent i3 legibly
inscribed.
Jeffersen's neighbor is a poetie but
modern figure. It i3 Edward Baker, the
Oregon senator,
who left his seat
in cengicss te
lead a regiment
te his death nt
Hall's niuir. He
is here repi front
ed in a k i n g a
speech in the wn wn
ate, and his brief
but glorious mili
tary career is bug
gested only by
thu militaiy hat
resting nt hisfect
upon n book, in
dicative, of his
purpose te say
farewell te the
fcenate, threw oil
the toga nnd
mount his horse.
One almost wish
es the un-Ameri
can toga had been EUWAKD l. UAK-K.
disjienscd with by the artist. Many
ether statues in this room clearly show
the classic dracry is net a necessary ad
junct of modern sculpture.
Between Baker and his neighlier runs
ai.'hild, for there are here echoes ether
than these or time. At the feet of a
marble column the child meirily rpeaks
te another en Hip ether nido-ef the hall,
her fcmnll, bwivt teicu U-iiig echoed by
pillar nnd reef mere than a hundred feet
away. This next is a beautiful figure of

chancellor, who In hit time played many
parts who helped draft the Declaration
of Independence, administered the oath
of office te Washington, bought Louisiana
of the French and aided Fulton in devel
oping the steamboat.
Next we come te a pair of marble fig
ures which represent the Nutmeg state.
They bear the stalwart American names
of Sherman and Trumbull. In Sher
man's face, with its earnest eyes and
wrinkled forehead, is seen application,
tenacity. He who new stands In this
Valhalla was a shoemaker till 22, and
afterward a store keeper, surveyor, as
tronomer, mathematician, lawyer, judge,
member of congress, United States sena
tor. He helped draft the articles of con
federation, the constitution and signed
trie Declaration of Independence. Trum

scroll addressed te "The Honorable the
euncil and Heuso of Representatives

minder of his election twentr-twe
successive times te the speakership of

held effice for
fifty years and
then resigned. In
this bold old face
we 6ee the man
who refused te
take oath in sup
port of thu stamp
act in 1703, nnd
whose ceunsel
was se highly
valued in the
dark days of '76
that Washington
used te say, "Let
me hear what
Brether Jona
than has te say."
Heroic, huge,
bold, striking and
altogether admir
able is the next
figure, Ethan Al

tary uniform, the
sword firmlv

hand held in front with fist doubled bel
ligerently, head up, eyes sheeting defi
ance, the whele pese ene of vigor
and victory, nnd demanding the sur
render of Ticonderoga in the name of
Jehovah and the Continental congress.
Ethan Allen is the here of the young,
known nbove most of his greater con
temporaries, and the nrtlst has properly
preserved all the spirit of the here and
Ids deeds, though of the man himself no
portrait Is known te posterity. A truly
martial figure this, with its epaulets,
ceckade with rosette, bread sash with
heavy geld tassels, rising three feet taller
than its life size neighbor, Trumbull, and
with a great marble beet fourteen inches
long and six bread. His U the only
covered head In theaugust assemblage.
In his neighbor, Lewis Cass, the latest
coiner In the gallery, we find our first
swallow tail. Ills Is a peitly figure,
with u strong, fine face, n drawn, obsti
nate mouth. This sculptor shows us
that neither toga nor uniform is neces
sary in the making of an hcioie figure.
At the feet is a strong box full of papers
nnd books. Could the artist have meant

denoting Cass a3 the only rich man in
the Pantheon, made a millionaire by his
lucky purclmse for 2,000 of COO acres of

and still be In a condition of Infantile Ig
norance concerning the pains and pleas
ures of a voyage from New Yerk te

outset that there are pains ns well as
pleasures te be encountered en this trip,
for the Ycmassoe or Chcrokce are net

you are opt te wish that a few hundred
feet were added te their length or n few
hundred thousand tens te their ballast.
Some misgivings en this account find
expression at 4:30 p. m. ns the Ycmasscc,
outbound, steams past the Goddess of
Liberty. The cabin passengerB sniff the
freshening sea brceze from the upper
deck. There Is a ship shape young wo
man with a fore-and-aft cap en her
head, and a beautiful bunch of Jacque Jacque
mieots pinned te the breast of her tight
fitting ulster, who clings confidingly te
the arm of the fortttnate father of such a
girl. Already there is a slight oscilla
tion from bow te stern. The girl presses
her father's arm.
"Papa, doesn't It seem te you thnt this
vessel is just a trifle short for nn ocean
voyage?"
"Why.se, my dear?"
"Don't you sec, ehe has begun te pitch
already and we nre net out of the lower
bay."
Papa Is a well seasoned traveler who
has het rounded Cape Hattcras. He
smiles indulgently mid says there isn't a
particle of danger. Tills is only a coast
veyage anyhow. Whereat the anxious
mother of two small children leeks much
relieved, and n motherly nppenring old
lady, who remarks that she lias crossed
the ocean nlne times, smiles pretcctingly
upon everybody. Even the nutitlcally
equipped youth, slim of leg nnd narrow
chested, but rigged out with all the ar
aphcrnnlia of the Old Man of the Sea,
suffers n gleam of secret sat tsf action te
cress his sallow Tace. Tills youth has
excited the envy of superficial observers
who nre willing te admit that they nre
entering upon their first ocean voyage.
Hew comforting it would be te be nhle
te contemplate the watery horizon with
such .complacency ns his! Presently
Sandy Heek is passed and the "land
swell" has grown Insinuating. The nau
tical young man turns en his heel nnd de-'
scends haughtily te the loncAerao lower
deck. Fer lack of anything better te de
you fellow him shortly nnd nre surprised
te nete the ashy pallor of his face ns he
stands with head drooped ever the taffrall.
Tlicre are adequate reasons why, for a
moment or two, he is net conscious of
your presence. If you were n whlte ele
phant, or n Zulu costumed In the natlve
war paint, this nautical young man
would have no Idea of your approach.
The fact Is, he Is othcrwise engaged. But
before you have time te retire there is a
rift in the cloud of his misery, nnd with
the last vcstlge of assumed superiority
dislodged from his nybtcra he explains:
"I was ah you sce I was suffering
from an attack of cr of Indigestion
when I came en beard."
There has been a conbldcrable thinning
outef pasaengoreon the upper deck. The
anxious mother of two small chlldtcn,
together with ene of the latter, has dis
appeared, and the remaining elive branch
is being carried below, limp and white,
in the arms of the pitying stewardess.
It Is the "land swell."
Transatlantic 6teamcrs nre tee big and
heavy te be nffected by the land swell,
but the Ycmassee nnd her human cargo
get the full benefit of it. It Is net tin un
pleasant motion If your stomach happens
te be firmly anchored in Its natural posi
tion. But if that useful organ Is accus
tomed te exhibit migratory tendencies
upon blight provocation the land swell
will set It In motion right speedily. It is
an Insidious heaving of the mighty deep
that is most potent in Its effects en the
system when least perceptible te the vis
ion. Te the mind that Is yoked te nn
ambitious stomach It is the ensencoef in
stability. But, bless you, the father of
the ship shape young woman Is net lath
ering his mind with the logic, of the situ
ation us he makes suspicious haste te gain
the deer of his etnte room I And the
charming wearer of the Jacqueminets
and the fore-and-aft cap where, eh!
where, i3 she?
This melting away of the Invlnclble
befere an enemy that can hardly be felt
and is net been nt all, fills you with an
extraordinary estimation of yourself, bee
Ing that it Is the first veyuge of your life
time. Yeu pace the deck with firm, en
ergetic strides, fill your lungs with the
salt eea brceze, smlte your chest and
cenclude tliat you are ene of the elect
whom It is useless te attempt te maLe
seasick.
As you pass the kitchen deer the smell
of the cooking supper reminds you that
you are ravenously hungry, and having
discovered that you are ene of the elect
you think no mere of your previous reso
lution te go te bed stipperlcbs. The gong
bounds. Besides yourself there nre only
the officers of the bhip nnd the motherly
old lady te respond. The latter you en
counter en reute te the dining saloon.
Yeu remark pleasantly though slgnifl
cantly en the sudden disappearance of
the ether passengers, te which she re
sponds that it is all nonsense
"It is the most utter nonsense, tlr, this
giving away te bcnsatiens that are purely
Imaginary."
"Yeu Iwllovethcn that seasickness Is
nothing mere nor less than u dlwnse of
the tnlnd?"
"That's exactly what it U, clr a dis
ease of the mind, nnd that Is all It is."
"Then It U blmply n question of will
power whether a h.tseii U bcasick or
net?"
"Precleely, sir, precisely. Here Is nn
Illustration. When I bet out en my flrht
veyage I worn en my head n Ixmnct fitir fitir fitir
mounted by a xplendid e.-ttrich feather,
worth at least 0. We were only two
heure out when I licgau te feel hick I
had heard se much nlieiit MMslukness,
jeu see. Finally, when 1 was hardly
nble te held up my head, I went en deck,
thinking the brecze might revive me. I
hadn'tgone thrce kteps from the cabin
deer w'hen a sudden gust of wind whirled
my bonnet, feather and all, Inte the tea.
If you were a woman jeu would under
stand hew It feels te have buch a bonnet
and such a feather tern off your head
mid given up le the mercy of the waves.
But what was thu lesult? In my excite
ment ever the less of my feather I for

longer eeaslck, and I haven't been tea
tics: from that day te thk, though I've
crossed the ocean nlne times. It all do de
pends en the nllnd, sir."
The supper Is bountiful, well cooked
nnd clegnntly served. Yeu de It ample
justice. Then you go en deck. It It
Nark nnd the last light is left far behind.
Then has been no perccptlble freshening
of the breeze, nnd yet there Is a disagree
able motion of the vessel for which you
are utterly at a less te account. It
makes you dizzy te walk, se you sit
down. It makes you dizzy te sit down,
therefore you stand up. This makes
you dizzier yet, and all at ence the truth
Sashes upon you. Yeu are no longer
no of the clcctl
It is the land swell.
The morning of the second day Is picas
nt nnd the land swell having npur
mtly disappeared with the land Itself,
there is a fair showing of passengers at
the breakfast tabic. Nobody has been
sick; everybody retired early, that Is nil.
The captain sits In state at the head of
his table, nnd the first officer beams with
a rese In his buttonhole nt the head of
tils. But in front of the captain's plate
Is a splendid hunch of Jacqueminets,
and the conclusion seizes upon you that
they were originally of the eatne bunch
whose ether half Is still worn nt the
breast of the ship shape young woman.
Moreover does net the young woman
herself sit en the captain's right and her
father en his left? And after breakfast
are net the girl nnd her father allowed
te btand a full hour en either slde of
the captain In the pilot house?
At dusk the wind rises, nnd se does
the cca. The cape Is two hours ahead.
Promptly at 0 p. in. there Is a Hash en
the western horizon. There fannother
flash, and presently another. Then the
flashes ceme regularly every flve sco sce sco
enila, and evcrylwdy Is assured that they
ceme from the cape (lash light, and net
from seme schooner laboring in the
heavy sea. Being se assured, everybody
turns In gladly, for the wind Is con
stantly Increasing In velocity, heavy boas
are shipped at the pert bow, and half the
tlme the screw1 (s out of water, revolving
inipetcnllr In Its own foam.
This la a Cupe Hattcras bce. The City
of Rome would plow through It with
hardly a shiver, while the Ycmassee,
with equal safety te her crew, rides ever
It ns gayly as a ceckle shell. In the
morning even the seamen admit that
the weather Is "choppy." Having passed
the cape, the vessel's cottrse Is changed
from due south te "seu'west by west,"
nnd the wind Is square In her teeth. At
the breakfast table the law of gravita
tion Is temporarily susjiendciL Crockery
dances about recklessly and the milk
pitcher gees promenading with the sugar
bowl. Nothing can shake the determi
nation of the young lady from Nassau,
who sits opposite you. She would oc
cupy her usual scat if the table steed en
Its head and clicked its heels together.
She despises mutton chops, but she ab
stractedly eats yeuis, which the caprices
of a Cape Hattcras uea enable te change
places with her steak nnd onions.
Still the wind rises, nnd se does the
sea. At neon the motherly old lady,
who has appeared thoughtful for soma
hours, grows very pale und says bhe feels
miserable
"But, madame, it's nil in your mind.
Yeu should oxcrclse your will power,"
"Yeu forget, sir" her reply is per
fectly serious "you forget that we ure
off Cape Hattcras."

Liquids make fat. There is no doubt
of this in my mind, though I am fully
cognizant of the fact that a geed many
ircople will deny It. Thocharacteref the
liquids has a geed deal te de with it, but
the practice of drinking invariably leads
te unwieldy bulk. In Spain, where men
drink little, a fat man is unknown. In
Paris, where men content themselves
with sipping thimblcbful of nlminthe or
biuall cups of black coffee, the French are
thin te n icmarkable degree. The wom
en, en the ether hand, drink great quan
tities of champagne, Buigttndy and lat
terly l)ccr, mid they nie as a result prene
te steutncbH. In England men drink ule
and beer, and they nre n thick necked,
pudgy and heavy rnce ns n rule. I had
observed all this many times, and when
I went te Germany, where I knew thu
coiihumptien of beer was very great, I
had prepared te find fat nun in abund
ance, I was net disappointed. There
would bcem te be nlso!utely no end of
big, corpulent mid unwieldy men In Ger

BLAZERS AND THEIR LIK& .

New Yeiik, May 2. "Wlutt .kind of s
blazer are you going te haver U the
questleD which fellows first after the
usual Inquiry after the health, among
young ladles, and of course it Is en Im
portant thing te knew, attl yet I de net
doubt tlutt there ere numbers of benight
cd persons who de net knew what a
blazer Is. Pm net qulte sure that I can
dcflne It ether than te say that it . a
tennis costume, In stripes that would put
a zebra te the blush and make a tiger
crawl off In a jungle and die en a wet
le.tittst out of envy. A blazer Is a fear
fuland wonderful thing. t
JERSEY BAILOR BLOUSE3.,
It Is a loose, 111 fitting bleuse nnd a
scanty short Bklrtef flannel, silk or ticking
in the most conspicuous colored stripes
possible te weave Yellow and black, red
and white, bltte and roil are a few of the
colors most often scen, and these are of
nil widths and combinations. The rule
Is for vh Id colors nnd striking pattern?
for tennis gowns, and the exception is
for them te be In quiet taste, The nearer
the average tennis player can get his or
her clothes te leek like theso of a herse
jockey, the belter he or she Is pleased.
The tennis hat of the season la a queer
shaped thing, soniewhat resembling nn
English tourist's helmet, with two flaps
nbove the earn which are turned upward
nud tied en the top. The shoes are of
yellow canvas or buckskin, nnd have
rubber ridges en the bottom, or spikes.
Croquet has been Uttla cared for for
severnl years, but it Is new considered te
be "in" again, nud many young Indies
have had croquet costumes mode which
might be called coquette costumes, se
dainty nnd pretty they nre. Like the
tenuis gowns, they nre made of almost
any kind of material, but the favorite
ene is the wash silk, which Is se light
that it affords the freest mevement and
Is always graceful. These silks are
striped nnd can be had in startling styles
or in tlcllcate und pretty combinations of
colors.
In making the Bklrts te both tennis
nnd croquet gowns of this cllk, the pro
per fashion Is te have the outer skirt
made plain around the bottom, or at
most have only a flat bias bund stitched
en. An underskirt or petticoat of the
saiue silk Is made with thrce or four nar
row overlapping bias ruffics attholot atthelot attholet
tom. This holds the skirt out In cesy
shupe and does net Impode the move
ments. Some young ladles wear this
skirt divided, us they claim that It gives
them greater ease, and that ence tried
all tennis players would like the styls
better than the undivided skirt. Each
lady might try the experiment. It need
net lie a costly ene nud may be all that
Is claimed for It.
Blouses and jerseys are se varied that
they nre adapted te every kind of out
deer sport, net excepting the new fads,
klte flying nud baseball. Yes, it Is true!

en the ball field ns well as their brothers,
nnd even the fear of getting hit with 8
hard weed bat will net prevent them.
The variety of the waists peculiarly
adapted te the out deer sports of young
ladles Is se great that It becomes neces
sary te present a few of them, for thcre
are few such supplies without u demand,
and the mission of fashion writers Is te
tell all they knew, if net mere. ,
The jersey waists are made se beauti
fully and trimmed se elegantly new that
they nre bound te Ira In fashion for an
iiidcflnite tlme. 1 was In a whelesale
liouse recently, nnd thcre counted seventy-two
dilTcrcnt und distinct styles of
making nnd trimming jcrseys. '
Thcre nre many smocked jcrseys of

Ing forming the yeke nnd belt, also the
pulF.1 In the slcevcs. Others have the
mlddle of the sleoves laid In narrow
lengthwise plulu.und held with herring
bone stitching In saddler silk. These
bleiihcs and jcrseys nre all suitable te
wear for any out deer sports where case
ami grace of motion Is doslred, and they
can be made drtsy enough te wear with
silk or ether 6kirts for afternoon with
the addition of a few of theso dainty trl
Ilc9 all women knew hew te add, and
which transforms them nt ence te things
of beauty and of ceurse joys forever.

The llaytUe.
In I Iuy 1 1 the pcople nre divided Inte
three classes the blacks, the colored and
the whites. The blacks nre, of ceurse,
the mast numerous, and they are also
the most Ignorant. The colored nre theso
who have mixed bleed In them and form
the intelligent iiortienof the inhabitants.
They nie largely in the minority, but
they nre the only class competent te con
duct the government. The whites nre
tho&e whlte men who go down thcre as
merchants. Slany of theso marry the
colored girls, and then, of course, bo be bo
eomo mere thoroughly identified with
the liostlntcrcstsef the government. The
pcoplegencrnlly, particularly the colored
portion, have a curious mixture of traits.
The negree.)as a race are imprc3slonable
nnd oxcitable. They have these quali
ties, and ill-addition the mercurial tern
twraincnt of the French, for nearly all
ure tent te Paris te complcte their educa
tion. This combination makes them dif
ficult te govern, for thcre is a natural
jealousy between the blacks and the col
ored, und 6e affaire are generally mero
