Feu. 4.— Because their mother divorced their father, the children of George Otis Draper are cut off without any Inheritance under the will of their grandfather. General Will iam F. Draper, former Ambassador to Italy, which was filed in the "Worcester County Probate Court here to-day. In the will. General Draper directed that after certain specific bequests had been made his household jroods and ef fects and half of the residue of the es tate should go to his widow. Mr*. Susan Prescott Draper. The other half of the residue is riven to his children and their issue, with th«* exception of the children of George Otis Draper. The will ex plains that the fact that George Otis Draper was divorced by his wife bars th*» children of the couple from sharing In the estate of their grandfather. The provision is also made that if George Otis Draper should marry a second time and have children by the union, such children would share in the estate equal ly with all other grandchildren. Th* specific bequests are $50,000 to his daughter Elizabeth, $10,000 to each of his grandchildren who bear the name "William Franklin." ?5,000 to Massa chusetts Commandery, Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. 000 each to Andrea Bennetti and Mary Fitzgerald, servants: (300 to each servant who has been in the employ of his family for five years, and $100 each lo all other family servants. The value of the estate was not given. The will was made at Hopedale, on No vember 19, 1900. Clare H. Draper and Oliver H. Lane, of Hopedale. were named as executors. MAURETAXI t HERE. Brings Man?/ Distinguished Persons and Xexv Skipper. The Cunard* liner Mauritania arrived yesterday from Liverpool in command of Captain W. T. Turner, the first skipper to command the fast flyer since. Captain Pritchard's retirement more than two months ago. She had an unusually large passenger complement, the number in her cabin alone being 633. The big liner brought over the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, who are here to visit Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincinnati, the father of the duchess. It was an nounced by Mr. Zimmerman several months ago that his daughter and her hup band would visit the United States on their proposed tour of the world, but the duke said yesterday- that on account of the recent death of his mother the -world trip had been abandoned. Lady Paget and her son. Captain A. E. P;?F<->t. were among the Mauritania's pas- Fengers. When told of a rumor which hinted that he was encaged to marry Mrs. William B. Leeds, widow of the tinplate magnate. Captain Pagrt walked away from the reporter who spoke to him. Percy Burton, business manager for .T. Forbes-Robertson, returned after a busi ness trip to London He said that there was no truth in th# report that Forbep- Robertson'6 place in the cast of "The.

English Actor Will Quit New Theatre for Australian Tour. ■•_- eson Lane, who baa been playing; leading parts in Don and "Twelfth Nieht" at The New Theatre, is soon to <?nd his engagement, according to information received from London. Prom here he will go to Australia, here he will appear with his wife, whose stage name Is Miss Hutln Britton. Mr. I^ang's press representative. Captain Norms n Fraser. No. ■'"*"' Hopton Road, Streatham, London, writes as follows: New Theatre patrons will be sorry to hear that Sfatheson Lang, the popular Knglisli star, will soon be leaving them. In view of differences between The New Theatre management and one or two pre vious stars it may h<» as well to say right h«=re that Lang leaves because be must. and that he parts from Th*> New Theatre and New York with great regret. The fact it that when ho ■"•a* invited to The. Now Theatre Mr. I^ang had already contracted for a six months* tour In Australia, and that contract has to be fulfilled. This was news not only to New Theatre patrons, but to The New Theatre Itself.

AKT EXHIBITIONS Mr. G.A. earns Collection at the Lotos Club. l Th« spacious gallery of the Lotos Club is the scene of an exhibition puch as is very rarely arranged for the public in New York. A private collector, Mr. George A. Hearn. has filled it with paintings and various objects of art. making a very JJ n ~ formal ensemble. The paintings are mostly old masters, and the few of modern origin that are Included have been selected with solicitude for their fitness as regards tone. Distributed among them on the walls, or displayed in cabinets', there are a great number of old and modern Ivories, and. in addition. Mr. Hearn has lent several fine Barye bronzes and a couple of examples of that 'powerful sculptor, Constantln Meu nier. The result is an uncommonly hand- Fome and interesting room. Gainsborough and Reynolds lead the old masters, the former with that version of his famous "Blue Boy" which affords a peculiarly beguiling illustration of his courtly style and feathery brushwork. the latter with two charming portraits of fem inine sitters, "Mrs. Barnard" and "Lady Stanhope." There is a Romney. too, the lovely "Miss Hollingsworth," in which his poetized elegance Is rendered the more ap pealing by a beautiful sobriety and fulness of tone. The example of Lawrence, "Miss Baring,' is a light and graceful portrait, refreshingly free from that sleekness which so often afflicted him. Besides these por traits Mr. Hearn shows us a glorious "Landscape" by John Crome. a rich and massive performance, and. in Turner's "Fltzalan Chapel. Arundel." an example of the great Victorian master at Once ex ceptionally solid and restrained and excep tionally luminous. This is, in fact, one of the most charming of Turners, exhibiting nowhere any forcing of the note. From the seventeenth century Dutch school we have an interesting "Landscape" by Hob b«ma and an admirable "Portrait of a Gentleman" by Jan Victbors, and. by the way the fwo specimens of the modern Hol land school, a "Coast Scene" by Jacob Maria, and a "Landscape and Sheep by Mauve, delightfully show how these North ern painters of the nineteenth century pre served the sincerity .and strength of tnei. country's old traditions. But among ; early pictures here by Continental artists the two that are most arresting come from the South. * It is a privilege to Fee so good an exam ple of Guard! as Mr. Hearn s "7 cnl« i That eighteenth century master has hid ! fathered upon him an astonishing number of paintings, remarkable chiefly for a thin glitter which he rarely allowed himself. The light in his most characteristic worK, as in the present instance, is very sotuv diffused. It sparkles here and there, but with no pyrotechnicai effect. In this pict ure, too, you may observe at once the light ness of his touch, the exquisite quality In his brush work, and the subdued resonance which he knew how to give to his tones. It is altogether a bewitching canvas, on* which by itself would make a satisfying ! little exhibition. The other Southern pict ure to which we have alluded is the VFllgnt Into Egypt" of Francisco Collantts, a seventeenth century Spaniard, whose rank is minor enough, compared with that of Velasquez, but v.ho had abilities a little more than respectable. No doubt the great tree in the centre of this composition sil houetted against a fairly light background. in a shade too hard and too dark, but time has presumably had something to do with the. opacity of the color in this part of tne work, and. in any case, one is bound to ad ir.ir* the large and bold manner in which the artist handles bis natural forms. In the luminous distance, toe, with its savor of Italian Influences, there Is a genuinely artistic if not very strongly individualized feeling. Decidedly, it Is good to see so ex cellent a souvenir of that group ' of Spanish painters, far less gifted than Velasquez, but not unworthy of him. whose repute the : ounger Beruete has lately soughi to re ■ establish. Tt would be. pleasant to. hear that Mr Hearn. who Is always making gifts to the Metropolitan Museum, had de ci-ied to add this historically suggestive painting to the long list which we owe to liis generosity. Hi? judgment a» » collector, it may be fi ,i ;,- ; jg excellently well disclosed In the remaining pictures comprised in this ex hibition. They include two oeautiful Amer ican landscapes, the "Wood Gatherers" of <;<-org«~ Inness and tn^ "Adlrondacks" pf Alexander Wyand. two masterly pieces of imaginative naturalism, and along wit'i t • • he shows George Fuller's "Quad roon," one of the high achievements of a man whose originality in respect to f .'rm and color was only equalled by the trrav.r rlisut,"tion of sty!^ enveloping his work. Lastly, but with the cordialest apprecia tion, we would make mention of the figure pirc^ "Wild Rests." by the Scotch painter I>. V. Cameron. This is a performance of great tenderness and beauty, winning in sentiment, and with a touch In the work manship significant of a forceful person ality. The ivories, which till a good li^al of ppaoe, leave a rather mixed impression. In asmuch as they ran^e from early periods of sometimes naive but always very honest execution to modern schools content with a merely facile manner. The effect would, perhaps, have been better If some of the later pieces had been withheld. As it is. there is much to admire in this collection, much to Interest in the really sculptural exploitation of a medium enforcing upon the craftsman very serious limitation?. To begin with, ivory sharply defines the scale on which the sculptor must work. He must work, if not precisely in miniature, at all events within narrow boundaries. Furthermore, he can hardly hope for that freedom and subtlety in modelling so in dispensable to plasti<- art. On the other hand, it is amazing to see what breadth can stiii be his, how far he may ko, whether working in the round or in relief, in the effective manipulation of form. ».»f course, too. he has rich opportunities for the exercise of decorative taste and in genuity. It is hard to say which are the more interesting of the pieces in this col lection, tiie statuettes or the daintily carved reliefs. That the scope of a worker in ivory is wide a.s regards subject is made vividly manifest by Mr. Hearn'a object."-. The presence of a number of beautiful combe reminds us that the artist has .-:, pedaUy employed ivory to utilitarian pur poses, but he has made it also of value to the church, carving crucifixes or repre sentations of religious types and scenes, and. moreover, he has repeatedly designed historical illustrations. Closely to examine ti.e great mays of work brought together upon this occasion is to be struck by the readiness with which ivory sculpture has kept pace with the general interests of liiankiiitl. Possessing something of that character which l.elongs to sliver, jewelry and oti:*-r productions carefully preserved iii glass cases, it lias nevertheless con stantly reflected the religious, martial and to ■;•! developments of. the historic periods;. This novel exhibition remains open until :. ( xi Thursday. R. C. INVITE BAILEY AFTER ALL. South Carolina Assembly Will Hear His Income Tax Views. ] P-; Tfle*ra; !> to Th* Tribune.] Columbia. S.

ODELL MUCH ALIVE Says lie Ought To Be Dead and a Reformer, but He's Not. Ex-Governor Ode.ll was the chief speaker at the annual dinner of the Delaware. Val ley Society, held last night at the Hotel Manhattan. Mr. Odell said, among oth r things: '•Many of the best men. I find, come her.; from the country, and they teach the city men how to conduct the affairs of the city and state, because the farmer Is a natural born politician. When asked to produce re cults he does it. It's a wise politician who knows wh^n he's dead. Now. I'm supposed to be dead. I ought to b- a reformer, but I won't be. Some of us who used to run polities on the organization plan are not in It to-day. The decrease in tho state tax has brought about increase in looal tax. If the state is profligate the individual will be so. We must begin to improve conditions with the state. T beUeve there's enough honesty left in the world to go around." Charles L. Andrnss. who had been asked to talk on "Roads," said the reason the roads were so bad in the state was that the farmer? had such a bitter feeling against the automobilists that they were spiting themselves to prevent the auiomo bil© men from having good roads. He de clared that while the proper inspection of farms was a pood thing, the present sys tern was simply a farce. He cited several amusing cases, showing how utterly unfit some men were who were sent to inspect the farms upstate. District Attorney Whitman said: "I don't sympathize with the 'back-to-the-farnV idea. We are all alike. We want the pure hearted, clean young men, who come from the farms to stay in the cities and help us to make the city great and the nation great." George A. Powell in a lone address at tacked the wasteful methods in farming. "Unless our present methods arc changed," said he. "we shall be an importing, in stead of an exporting, country. Organiza tion and co-operation are the needs of the hour. This boycott of the meat is all wrong. The danger of it is that it goes back to the producer, and later ihe very people who are now engaged in this boy cott will find that the tanner and others will cease producing." Congressman William S. Bennet was th<» next speaker. Ho said: "I want to bear a tribute to one of the guests here this evening ir the person of Governor Odell. I was an humble part of his administra tion. I was one-one hundred and fiftieth part of the Assembly and he was the whole chow. It is a fact that people have failed to recognize the great merits of his ad ministration. Governor Odell was the orig inator of a progressive system of economy second to none which has ever existed under any state administration." P. S. C REMEDIES TOO LATE? Commissioner Bassett Talks on Fran chises at Tufts Dinner. The Tufts College Club of New York had Its annual dinner last night at the Hotel Astor. Milton G. Starrett. president of the club, was toastmaster. The speakers were Edward M. Bassett, public Service Com missioner; the Rev- Dr. Ezra S. Tipple, of Drew Seminary, and Professor Leo R. Lewis, of Tufts. In his speech Commis sioner Bass e tt said in part: petuaL The view of the State of Now York, with a lavish hand franchises tor the use of city streets. The. courts have shown a decided tendency to hold that these fran chises are perpetual where no exact limit of time was imposed. If the courts adhere to that. view, then practically all of the franchises in the city of New York are per petual. The view of the State of New York as thus far expres?<?a in legislation, Is that franchises are not the proper subject of capitalization and that the holders must supply saf€ equipment, good and adequate service and charge no more than a reason able rate. "Thr history of the last twenty-five jrears haa been that of capitalization of so-called perpetual franchises.

Washington. Feb. 4. — Congressman 'VN Br ian C. Lovering. of Taunton, Mass ■ died at his home here this morning, after an illness of several we«ks. He had been con fined to his bed about three weeks with pleurisy. During convalescence from this attack pneumonia developed, and the com plication proved too much for him. He had been In feeble health for some months. having suffered a breakdown during the tariff discussions of last summer, when the heat in Washington was intense. He bad been able to attend only a few of the ses sions of Congress this year. Arrangements for the funeral hn^ c not yet been perfected. When th<» Hou« f ' as sembled to-day Mr. Covering's desk was draped in black. On motion of Mr. Gillett. of Massachusetts, the House ordered the appointment by the Speakf r of a committee of fifteen members to attend the funeral and adjourned until Monday. Mr. Lovcrlns; was serving his seventh consecutive term in Congress. He was born in Rhode Island in lsSo. but early re moved to Massachusetts, where he was educated at :he Cambridge High School and the Hopkins Classical School.

In the Civil War he served for a short time as an engineer at Fortress Monroe. His health failed, however, ?nd he was obliged to retire from tlie service. Before entering Congress, in 1&97, Mr. Lovering had been a State Senator in Massachu setts for two years and was a delegate to the Republican National Convention which nominated Garfield, in ISSO. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Lovering that the compensation of the men in the lifesaving service was in creased last year. As a testimonial of their regard for the Congressman the men of the service presented to him a loving cup. which he considered one of his most valued possession?. He left his bed t^o weeks ago to go to the White House with Congressman fcjeott. of Kansas, fmd others* to urge on the President the necessity of legislation to prevent gambling in futures, a subject in which hr: was greatly interested. Mr. Lovering's business interests were in Taunton. He owned a house in High street, that place, and was registered as a voter there, but spent most of his time in Boston and Washington. He was presi dent of the Whittenton Manufacturing Company there and a director in a number of other corporations. Ho leaves two daughters and a brother. Henry M. Lovering, of Taunton.

Feb. 4 —Premier Asrjuith will meet David Lloyd-George, Chancellor of the E-xchequer, at Nic to-morrow, and it is expected that he will return to London on Monday. The Premier is keeping hi. own counsel, and though there are many conjectures regarding the government's policy in the new Parliament, nothing defi nite as yet is known of the ministerial plans. The new Cabinet changes, which are rx pected to b*> announced early next we^k. probably will include the resignation of Viscount Wolverhampton. Lord President ot the Council, and the transfer of Earl Car rlngton. president of the Board of Agricult ure, to the Governor Generalship of Can da. Reginald McKenna succeeding Vi=<-ount "Wolverhampton and R. B. Haldan* becom ing First Lord of the Admiralty tn place of Mr. McKenna. An interesting rumor is published to -he effect that the Cabinet will consider th» amalgamation of the Admiralty and the War Office under a. single minister, to b~ styled the Minister of Defence, with a view to Insuring greater co-ordination between the two services. But looking at the seri ous nature of the political problems which Mr. Asquith has to face. It may be doubted whether he will undertake such a far reaching change at the present moment.
