Alany of the older residents of Scran

death of Miss Carrie Barlow, which
occurred at Beverly, X. J., December
0. She was the daughter of the Hev.
John Barlow, a well-known pastor of

loved by a large circle in this city. One
of these was the wife of Hev. Dr. J.
A. Llppincott, of Philadelphia, the hon
ored 111 st pilncipal of the Scranton
High school, and It is from a letter of
his to a ft lend in this city that the fol
lowing tribute to tho lady recently de
ceased is quoted: "Her death has
brought to mo a real and solemn grief.
She was for many years a sufferer.
She was brave, heroic. From her lips
never fell a word of complaint or of
Impatience. She had gathered about
her in the quiet life In Beverly troops
oC friends. In their midst, in the pretty
Beverly cemetery, she sleeps a sleep of
sweet relief from pain. Thank God for
her beautiful character and her useful
life."

j HER POINT OF VIEW S
PKOl'IiK who have cvcrytlilntr for1
OlirlstninH Hint could Hceinlnsiy
bo (lenlrett nro n loiiff way ro
niovotl In their Bentlmont of the day
from tho person who can senrccly re
member that ChrlstmnB was ever any
different to ihem from nny other sor
did, monotonous dny. For Instance,
this fair young &lrl who had a hora.3
Klvcti her, together with Jewels anil
lovingly wrought handiwork fiom a
multitude of friends, nnd all tho rich
gifts which wealth and tnsto could de
vise, with the prospect of holiday gai
ety In which admiration and devotion
encircle her llku a hippy tnlst, must
naturally regard c'liitflir.iiH In a. vast
ly different light from thut seen by
Hie little boy who d raids the day
which marks only a deeper debauch
of his drunken parents.
Iletween these two extreme types Is
room for a great range of feeling for
the most blessed feust-dny of the year.
There are those to whom Christmas
has grown monotonous because of tho
annual exchange of goods reckoned on
the cost mark schedule. There nra
1 others who lind the season dull be-
calico it brings to them no unexpected
gift, since no gift r.t all gladdens their
hearts. There are those whose dis
contented temperament, can nevit'
make even this happy time beautiful
and others whose poor little remem
brances of but a few cents' worth Il
lumine oven tho night of toll.
I think today of a lovely girl who
eaniu with her eyes alight, and said:
"Oh, I hud everything for Christmas
I really wanted and about twice ns
much that was a surprise!" T think
of another, scarcely more than a child.
1 who at the humble noonday meal In
the' poor home, unblessed by any gift,
! could only look forebodingly to tha
morrow when for the first time aha
must leave that safe refuge to work
ninld uncongcnlallty of surroundtlnga
for which refinement of training to
tally unprepared her. It was not the
work she dreaded: work was nothing.
It was the horror of the new scene.
The loud voices, the course jests, the
unfamiliar faces, so different from tho
mother's just dead who would surely
havy devised some other menns than
sending forth tho frail timid girl Into
this ort of a life.
I think, too, of the little man, aged
eight, who wept to leave the house
of charity which Inyl been the only
home he had over known, for a new
place among strangers, lie looked af
ter the fiiendlyface which turned away
and left hi in with his new friends, lie
had scarcely known her a day, yet he
clung to her and cried: "Oh, take me
with you, ma'am: I'm so lonesome!"
the pom- little chap who had nevar
had a mother's love or a father's car?!
She could not see the snowy path
kading away from the door ibecaus-j
her eyes were so dim, but the mem
ory .if Christmas is sweeter for hr-r
because she lias heaul of the lltt'
boy's day with his new parents, tlu
.splendid tree, the bulging stockings at
tin- licnrlhMdo, llie wonderful iiiew sled
and the tender fondness of the k'nd
hearts where lie had lounct a resting
plaee. Then the thoughts must go to tho
ilium' stately or small where no
f'luisimiis can ever be the same again
b"eause of the absent dear ones who
ciiji never any mure join in the meiry
cheer since they have passed through
the "portal ve call Death."
n
Ho there aie Phristmases and Chrlst-inuses-.
One lady prominent in Peran
um sot iety had her Ghrisliniis spoiled
in a most uncomfortable way a way
which casts a long tiresome shadow
over the pleasant features ot the sea
011. Of courte it was primarily her
husband's fault. Alost tilings arc tho
fault of husbands. It was in the Ho-I'okr-n
station the day after Christ-mii;-,
whch they had beer, spending In
New York. Tho lady had a small
traveling bag which contained among
other valuables several Christinas
gifts receivnl the previous day and
siitue costly Jewelu, besides handsome j
tnllut articles.
The lady left her Etnt for a few 1
moments while they were waiting for
the train and cautioned her husband 1
to keep an eye on the bag-. When '
she returned, the bag was gone, ut- I
tei ly and unmistakably. It had boon
taken right from the side of its cus
todian and of com so will never be re
covered, as there are too many
means of escape from the Hoboken
station for the authorities to loctte
such 11 daring thief. Naturally my
lady's memoiies of a merry Christ
mas aro decidedly mixed.
v
The ethics of this street car affair
afford considerable food for reflection
now-a-days. Everybody feels so ry
lor the employes. Who could help it?
Poor fellows, their lot Is not a happy
one nt best. Some of our cars have
been very poorly equipped for thu
comfort of anybody , particularly a
niotormau, who has been obliged to
stay outsldo, exposed to the bitter
weather and unprotected by u, vesti
bule, The long hours of standing
must be horribly wearying, and to b-j
poked In the back by gentle woman's
umbrella when the cur readies her
corner and bo roundly sworn at by
tho. man who gets off before It stops,
and stands on his head In conse
quence, are somewhat depressing. The
houis nro killing and the pay is
small, and it is surprising what a
number of men have an ambition to
manipulate, a street car, cnns'dor'ng
till the disadvantages of this mode of
earning a livelihood,
Therefore, the long-suffering motor
man and conductor have the sym
pathy of thu public. The strike
Is unique In that respect; oveiy
body feels sorry for the street
car employes with two exceptions.
Those are two young women who wore
on a front plntfortn Inst Saturday
night for tho reason that It was tho
only foothold they could gain. Thy
wero tired out by belated shopping,
and felt that they couldn't walk tho
long dlstunco home, The conductor
came along and remonstrated wl h
them for being whore they iivr.'.
"Oo inside, ' lie commanded peremp
torily. They remembered the doubt
which logicians of all times have ,
thrown upon the proposition oT two
bodies to occupy the snmo space at
tho same time, nnd looked at the
conductor in despair. Ho know very
well that they simply could not
crowd themselves into the car, but
monotonously ordered them to go In
or get olf, Then lie struck or rather
tho cur struck, for he would not allow
It to proceed until the superllous wo.
men clambered down, which feat
they accomplished after some time,
laden as they wero with parcels,
When they reached homo there was
an irato husband, who scolded bo
cause they illu't stay on that front
platform all night rather than be thus
treated, a most Inconsistent nttltuda
ns anybody knows that nny husband
would ralso a particular disturbance
if. his wife neglected to come homo
all night, even If she rmnpennd to ha
engaged In tho operation of beatini?
out a street car conductor. 1
As a consequence, these two ladles
nro not In sympathy with the strik
ing street car men, although they
wero up to the hour of 9.30 Inst Satur
day night.
A strike Is disastrous for a street
car company In more ways than one.
Naturally most of us would shrink
from the prospect of losing J2,DO0 a
day, but aside from that It has a bad
''moral" effpet on the people In Illus
trating forcibly the fact that they can
very well walk If they must. The
Scranton Traction compnny had quite
succeeded In educating people to ride.
More and more they wore taking a
car, whether they could really afford
it or not. This strike has proved to
them thnt It Isn't such a terrible
thing to walk. They have been doing
It for nearly a week. Homo of them
are discovering that they feel bettor
for it. They comment fieely on the
surprising belief that walking Is do
ing them good. They will keep right
on, even If the curs run. Severnl
Indies on the Hill, who llovtr walked
home, have decided that thev will not
take the cars when they do run, as
their exercise Is reducing flesh and

RUSSIA'S SCHOOL
OF APPLIED ARTS
Five Million Dollars Its Endowment.
Every Stanch of Art Is Embraced
in Its Instruction.
St. I'eteruburir Letter in New- York Trlbuno.
Although Itussla Is In some respects
going to school In America, she Is able,
through the generosity of private citiz
ens, to give lessons In some mutters.
An Instance Is afforded by the Baron
Stleglltz School of Applied Arts In this
city. It could easily be taken as a mod
el by the patrons of the industrial arts
in the United States who aro trying
lo remarry the beautiful nnd the use
ful. Competent judges who have seen
the Kensington schools and the Ecole
des Arts Dccoratlfs at Paris award the
palm of merit, completeness of equip
ment und excellence of design alone
considered, to the Baron Steiglit!:
school. This school was established In
1S79 with an endowment of 10,000,000
rallies, or more than $5,000,000, which
was given by tho will of Baron Alex
ander Stieglltz. Tho ministry of Fi
nance assumed the administration of
this fund, or, more exactly, the super
vision, the active management hav'ng
been entrusted to friends of art and to
artists. The State gave a site for the
school and museum.
The school was opened with a small
attendance and few classes In 1881. It
lias been steadily growing and en
larging its Held ever since. The
museum was opened in ISOli. The
buildings, which cost over a million
rubles, are udmirubly adapted to the
purpose for which they were designed.
The school and the museum ure urac
tically under the same roof. Students
have only to step out of the class room
to llnd themselves In the excellently
arranged special collections Illustrating
the artistic taste of every age and
country. The buildings are in them
selves a delight to artists, every ball
illustrating a different style of decora
tion. PLAN OP INSTKUCTION.
The school has apparently reached
almost its maximum development with
the present endowment. It has thirty
three teachers and 300 students. An an
nual exhibition of the work of the
school Is given every January. The
plan of instruction is liberal. There
is a four years' course In science and
languages, Including religious instruc
tion, literature, elementary geometry,
tho theory of shades and perspectives,
Russian history, general history and
the history of the fine arts and applied
arts, elementary anatomy, chemistry
and technology, the methodlcs of draw
ing, practical aesthetics and the French
und German lungunges.
Among the special art classes are
majolica and porcelain painting, glass
painting, wood carving, ong aving u on
wood and metals, etching, composi
tion of patterns for wall paper, textiles,
etc., and decorative painting for thea
tres. The general art classes Include
pencil and pen drawing, oil painting,
water color painting, tho preparation
of architectural plans and of drawings
for furniture, modelling, etc. The
technical branches aro under the su
pervision of the Ministry of Finance,
which, in the Russian system, dlrecs
nil technical Instruction, while tho
Ministry of Public Instruction over
sees tho general education of the pub
lic. The school Is under tho general
direction of M. Kotofi', und the mueum
Is under the charge of M. Carbonlor.
CO-EDUCATION THE RULE.
Pupils aie of both sexes. They must
stand an entranco examination and
must be over fourteen years old. There
are regulur pupils, who receive a di
ploma ns "skilled draughtsmen" upon
the completion of their course, und
pupils n elective branches. The fees
are moderate, and they aro applied ex
clusively to tho uses of the school
properIn addition to the museum, tho
school is also equipped with an excell
ent library. Everything Is arrangjd
with reference to tlie demands of tho
classes, An Instance of the thorough
ness with which the planners of the
school have gone to wont is afforded by
tho cabinet of natural objects. It in
cludes a collection of moths and but
torflles from every country in tho
world. This collection bus reeen iy
been purchused in Purls at un expense
of 5,000 francs. Another recent acquisi
tion are four Immense Gobelins which
cost 250,000 francs. There ure perhaps
altogether twenty excellent specimens
though tho school does pot design In
troducing Gobelin weaving Into Russlu.
They wero desired merely us illustra
tions of tho artlstiu taste of different
periods.
Everything Is at the disposal of the
pupils, and Is arranged most admirably
for their accommodation. The result
of this Investment Is that, Instead of
procuring ull their furniture and brio- I
u-bruo front France und Eni'lund, as I
wus formerly the' case, tho wealthy
Russians are now patronizing homo
talent to a large extent. Side by shirt
in the shops with imported goods may
bo found largo ateliers for every sort
of decoration. J

PROFITS OF NOVELISTS.

Source of Income,
I'rom thu UcvitiW 0! Hi-Wcvw.
Twenty years ai;o Mr. Howells jmb
Ilcly said that It would ho possible to
neat at a small tabje every man In this
country who was clearing $5,000 a year
net from exclusive literary work.
Since then I have heard the ruturns
from a single successful novel placed
at ?50,000. Knowing the circulation
which It had had, and the usuul royal
ties, this statement seems not Impru
dent. To the sales which make a re
turn of from 0,000 to $25,000 off a sin
gle noyel, there is not unusuully added
tho still large wage paid to tho novel
ist whoso llction becomes tho basis of
a successful plav.
Not long since Mr. Charles Frohman
said, In substance, that It wns nonsense
to turn anywhere except to a novel for
a play, since it cost from $15,000 to $20,
000 to make a play known, und tho
novel hud ulready accomplished this
wlttiout effort und without expense.
No wage in literary life is comparable
