THE NEW DIRECTOR. ymething About Sir Caspar Pur don Clarke. Liondon. January 23. «-*e ensafrement of Blr Caspar Purdon Clarke the Metropolitan Museum is something more j,' n » ir.atter of money. A large salary alone i^ja scarcely have drawn to America the dl- Ljor of th * art museum of South Kensington. ! veteran in his sixtieth year, whose life has * pent In the service of «>n art institution of 1( j v .:de reputation, must have had some Aer ground of complaint than his Income to «ye jecont -:I<hl lilmself to foreign residence and --^ration from a circle of old companions and friends. His connection with the Brompton art tns dates back to ISG2. when he entered the «jrir.g school as a Jem of architecture. The llsscum had then been open about five years, the foundations of what is now a compre- school of design with illustrative col j-dions in every branch of art had barely been ,£ He was an industrious and clever student. jjfat the end of three years carried off a medal proficiency Di architectural design. He ob jSied employment in the Office of Public Works f , Bhort period, and returned to South Ken jSyton as an assistant architect. He took an ac tlrtpart in the preparation of plans for the new rsseurss In Brompton and in Bethnal Green, and csseijufntly designed several consular and era assj buildings, and the Indian Pavilion in the £st Taris Exhibition. He was appointed as «;star.t director of the museum at South Ken- and after a protracted period of service te was proructed nine years ago to the post of tfreetor, and eubpequently honored with knight hood. As a collector he made many Journeys to •he Continent, and a long tour in India. His or r«i!zlnp talent was displayed In the Fisheries, Health and other exhibitions, and especially In Ac Indian section of the last World's Fair in Paris. His experience and knowledge as a col lator In tlie broad field of illustrative study in-3 plfed art ' ' ere exceptional; and by a life time of arduous service he had qualified himself for the rearrangement of the vast collections of gpatl! Kensington In the new buildings to be roir.pieted In the course of a few years. Sudden ly the nation is deprived of his skill and authori •y by the Metropolitan Museum In Now- York. Dismayed by so serious a loss to art Interests, •Jie critics Id the London newspaper offices are denouncing with more irritability than acumen the penurious scale of payments to experts in BU&PUI2S and galleries. The salaries, it is true, tre a; princely, but neither are they niggardly. At the British Museum Sir Edward Maunde, tie principal librarian, receives a salary of $4jjOlI; eight heads of departments are paid •rea $3.5<X) to HfiMi, and a large staff of assist- earn from $750 to $3,000. There are retir- Jj^ pensions and opportunities' for authorship (afl expert study. Among th« heads of depart pjena are men like Mr. Sidney Colvin, keeper tf prints and drawings; Mr. Ernest A. Wallis B-jic-. curator of Egyptian and Assyrian an tiqritles; BIT Robert Kennaway Douglas, keeper ef Oriental printed books and manuscripts; Mr. Cecil H. Smith, curator of Roman and Greek ts!«uities; Mr. C. H. Reed, keeper of British aid mediaeval antiquities, and Mr. B. V. Head, ssjsjtor of coins and medals. Salaries ranging from S3..VK) to $4,000 are not munificent for ex j«ts like these, but the men are where they can prosecute favorite studies and turn their to practical account. Professor Ray "jtnkpjter, director of the Museum of Natural Hirtory, receives about (6,000; Sir Edward J. jaroter, director of the National Gallery and <*a of the Tate Gallery, $5,000; Mr. Lionel Henry Cust, director of the National Portrait Gaikry, 13.000; Mr. Claude Phillips, keeper of :h» Wallace collection, from $2,500 to $3,000, md Sir Charles Holroyd, keeper of the Tate <".;iiler)-, from 750 to $2,500. As director of the Victoria and Albert Art Museum, In South Kensinpton, Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke has •smed between $3,500 and $4,500; his colleague, J2r. \V. I. Last, director of the Science Museum, ia recfived r.bout the same sum; the keepers and assistants under them are paid all the way from $'JO<J to $:J.O(K). Some of these officials vithoat question are underpaid, when the re (juireKeiUs of expert knowledge are taken into iccour.t, but the majority of them work In a leifurely way, taking advantage of opportunities for extra employment, and the veterans have the assurance of a pension in their declining years. Wbile it is natural for English critics to re sat the loss of the director of the South Ken- Kspor. Art Museum, It is hardly just for them :c iu*,gcst that he has been Induced by a prom ised a salary twice as large as his own to de ■d a post where his services were pre-emi notJj useful and satisfactory. It Is only fair to ieff- that, tempting as the New- York offers CJ7 have been frcm a financial point of view. It would have rejected them if he had been thoroughly contented where he was, and at lib •ny to carry out his ideas and to work In his own tray. There are many intimations that he interfered with by officials In the Civil Ser vice, and that he welcomed a release from the •■Mlesome activities of domineering clerks. The Victoria and Albert Museum was originally wider the direction of the Board of Trade, but as to character as a school of design was developed it came to be regarded as a department of prac tical art, and a few years ago it was placed toder the control of the education office. Tech tlcaliy it is a Fubdivision of the department of Wence and art of the committee of council on education, arid practically it is not self-regu latins, but is under the supervision of officials tfliO have crotchets and hobbies of their own, «£4 are accustomed to amuse themselves by ■»mdli,j and unwinding spools of red tape. Ji«*itrfc grounds for the belief that Sir Caspar fssjsj Clarke was hampered in the control of toe raff and In the completion and arrangement tf tit collections by the fussiness and arbitrary 4 f "*M«»»+~»++*4»»4MMM ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦< tTTT-r-r-r^ t : Weil!

There had been nn investigation with un satisfactory results, and thero was more or less friction in the conduct of the Museum on tha educational side. He had his own Ideas about adapting art collections to the practical purpose of systematic training of teachers and students In schools of science and art and th» "elevation of standards of public taste. He might not have /found It easy to carry out those ideas after the I completion of the new building*, when It would be necessary to rearrange the collections. Whatever may have been the motives which influenced Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke In accept ing the American appointment, it is certain that the Metropolitan Museum will pass next Septem ber under the control of an accomplished man. He is a systematic w-orker, and has a genius for organizing art collections, and arranging them so as to be attractive to the public and useful to students. His services have been Invaluable here whenever a special exhibition has been planned at South Kensington or an Important section has had to be enriched and decorated at a world's fair. As a collector he has shown shrewd, practical judgment, and has not been duped by mendacious dealers or credulous owners of overvalued treasures. A close ob server with a trained eye, he is also a profound student of art and science. He is a man of energy and force, laborious by habit, tenacious in opinions and good tempered in expressing them. He has travelled in every European country, and has seen every museum and art collection; but he enjoys "specially his remi niscences of India, where he spent much time and succeeded in completing, with painstaking care and accurate knowledge, one of the best departments of the South Kensington Museum. He is without doubt the most capable and the best informed conductor of a museum of applied art in Europe, and Mr. Morgan and the trustees of the Metropolitan Museum have earned the gratitude of American art lovers by their enter prise in securing him for director. Having found a master of the art pf collecting what is valuable and Intrinsically useful, they will act with discretion if they allow him to work in peace, free from annoyances which have irri tated him here. I. N. F. THEATRE MANAGERS GO FREE. Sunday Theatricals Case — Magistrate Bar low Lenient with Them. f ummonses for the appearance of Louis Werba and Martin Leuseher, manager and press agent, re spectively, of the New-York Theatre, which were obtained by Captain Flood, of the- West 47th-st station, after his detectives had discovered evidence of alleged violations of tho law regarding Sunday theatrical performances in that theatre, were dis missed by Magistrate Barlow, in the West Side police court, yesterday. The magistrate said that, whilo the testimony indicated several specific vio lations of the law, he was inclined to be lenient on the theatrical men, because he believed a theatre a better place for a mail to spend Sunday evening than the back room of a saloon. He told Captain Flood to note if further violations of the law oo curred. and, if they did occur, to bring those re sponsible to court. The Rev. Dr. Francis J. Clay Mornn. secretary of the national law committee of the Actors' Church Alliance, at whoße instance Captain Flood 6ent the detectives to the theatre, paid that lie had started the proceeding against the theatre In behalf of the overworked actors, who wished to have a day oft on Sunday.

Jn alliance with the Lawyers' Title Insurance Company and the Lawyers' Mortgage Company, a corporation to be called the Lawyers' Mortgage- Bond Company is to be formed, whose field is to be the issuance of long time bonds secured by deposit with a trust company as trustee of an equal amount of New- York City mortgages. In all us essentials this mortgage business would be the same as that transacted by the Lawyers' Mortgage Company, except in the form in which the security reaches the public. By this variation in form three new markets will be reached— first, long term Investors who r.ow buy railroad bonds to avoid the annoyance of constantly renewing mortgages: second, small investors who are now unable io purchase mortgages running from $500 to $1 'w aid third. European investors, among whom guaranteed mortgages are unknown, only mortgage bonds being salable. The company Is to be incor porated with a capital of $2,<KK>.OOO, and a surplus of fiOO 000; the issue of stock to be 20,000 shares, of a pur' value of |100. sold at Jli'o. Preference is to be Kiven in the allotment of the stock, to the stock holders of the Lawyers' Mortgage Company and the Lawyers' Title Insurance Company, a certain ;.m6unt 'however, being retained for allotment at the issue price to outside interests, especially bank »>s with foreign connections who might aid in placing the company's bonds in Europe. • NEW PUBLISHING HOUSE FORMED. ■\V\ D.

TO ABOLISH BOARD OF ALDERMEN. Mr. Grout Has Plan to Give the Board of Estimate Its Powers. Controller Grout said yesterday that ho believed the powers of the Board of Estimate should be en larged, and that several 1 " of the smaller boards now In the city government should be abolished. lie de clared: T would ahcJW] the Board nt Aldermen, the Rapid Transit Commission, the Armory Board, the Hoard, of i'ity Record, in fact, all boards, except the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, and to thut board i would K'vt> an th« powers that art now scattered among those other board?. Then the city would have a responsible head, and we would get some thing done. Then: should be more borough autonomy. The more local government we have the better for us. "What would you do with the Mayor?" was asked. Mr. Grout replied: He would not be a. figurehead. There ;s a Gov ernor for every State in the Union, and yet tho Piesldent of the United States is not a lipurehead. I think it would be a pood plan to vest all ttye Dowera now enjoyed by tho various boards in a board of directors for the city. This would practi cally b« thf- lioard of Estimate as at present con stituted, with the addition of {our or five others to bf elected by the city nt large.
