Under the doctor's treatment the young NATIONAL HALL OF FAME AN ARTIST THINKS ONE SHOULD BE CREATED IN WASHINGTON. A Noble Building Ought to Be Erected at the National Capital. Prom the Boston Herald. We are permitted to quote from a private j letter of an artist who has lately visited for the first time the "Hall of Fame." so called, that has been erected as an ori: . ment to the University of the City of N ,w York, and given national importance by the labors of the Jury of distinguished scholars and statesmen who selected a number of historic Americans for such honor as a tablet there may confer or assure: "I visited the "Hall of Fame* a day or two since, and oonfess to great disappoint ment in It as a structure. It is a colonnade circling around the back of the library building of the university, not of propor tions to be impressive. I call it a colon nade, but the columns are square and not of the proportions of graceful columns, be ing shorter. The whole work Is severely plain, which is not objectionable if asso ciated with noble proportions, so as to give an idea of greatness. It seems to me to lack this adaptation for such a work with such a title. Then, the tablets are within a foot of the pavement, and one has to stoop to read them easily. Worst of all. one looks down upon them, which is con trary to our mental attitude toward the great men whose immortal names and sen timents we have learned to revere and look up to. Should Be National. "It seems to me this 'Hall of Pamo' Is not enough of a structure to command the respect which should be due to the purpose for which It Is designed. A hall of fame. Instead of being accessory to a university, should be a national affair, as It Is to per petuate the names, memories and senti ments of national men. There is no objec tion to ?having a hall of fame in every town, upon which the names of our greet men shall be inscribed for the youth of the coun try to see dally. But a hall of fame that is to stand as a national memorial should have the stamp of national authority. I do not feel that this one will command the unqualified respect of the nation. "My idea for a hall of fame would be to found It on soma such national basis as the Valhalla or the French Academy and the Legion of Honor. Such an Institution should be at the national capital. The hall of statues In the Capitol suggests a scheme for a hall of fame. The same hall of stat ues could be converted into a memorial of broader scope for our greatest men in every department of thought and action. In this sort of national recognition full hon or could be done to the subjects selected for the place. It would exalt national pride in their achievements. Washington would mean more to us then. Let us have a na tional hall of fame worthy of the great re public." Washington the Place. This Is all highly suggestive. Whether or not his ideal of a national hall of fame, a pantheon of heroes and benefactors, will ever be realized is doubtful. The old hall of representatives in the Capitol, now known as the hall of statues, is unlikely to be changed from its present purpose. If it should be a considerable part of Its con tents would be out of place. The difficulty In respect of a national hall of fame would come, as it has In the New York Institu tion, in the selection of the famous ones worthy of such distinction. The number should be limited. But there would always be a fear that Congress would increase the number in order to take in the waiting list. We question whether there is any better way of selection than the one which was adopted. Almost any Jury similarly consti tuted would select substantially the same list, so far as selections have been made. The real question raised Is whether the list should be repeated substantially in a more noble hall erected In the city of Washington. OHIO RIVER BOAT SINKS. City of Goleonda Goes Down With About Twenty Passengers. The steamer City of Goleonda, plying be tween Paducah, Ky., and Ellzabethtown, 111., was struck by a squall during a storm about 7 o'clock last night as she was en route to Paducah. She turned over In ten feet of water six miles above the city as she was going Into Crowell's Landing. Six teen persona are reported drowned. The disaster occurred as supper was served and many of the seventy-five pas sengers were in the cabin. The wind struck the boat without warning and there was no time for those on the Inside to es cape. Capt. Jesse Bauer and Pilot E. E. Peck were the last to leave the boat and swim to shore. They saved several persons struggling in the water and left the sur vivors In a house near the bank and went to Paducah. Captain Bauer, who arrived there two hours after the catastrophe, said: "The boat was getting ready to land when the squall struck her and she listed. Sev eral passengers who were inside Jumpc-d overboard and were caught by the boat. The ladies, all of whom were In the cabin, could not be reached. The boat settled down in ten feet of water over a reef and two of the men who were In the cabin?H. E. Worten and N. S. Quartermouse of Hampton?broke through the glass and were saved. Three colored deck hands saved a woman and child, and I think she was the only woman saved. A yawl that had broken loose was caught by some of those struggling in the water and taken to the bank. We returned to the boat on this, but could find no signs of life and re turned to shore." The boat was valued at about $2,500 and had been In the trade for several years, be ing owned by Capt. Otto Bauer of Gol eonda, 111. There Is no way to determine the number of dead and their names until the boat's books shall be found. Captain Peck places the number at sixteen. The steamer Mary N. left soon after the sur vivors reached the city for the scene of the accident and returned at 11:30 o'clock last night with those saved. They reported that ten women were drowned, and the total number of those who perished would reach seventeen or twenty. None of the bodies was recovered, as the rescuers could not get into the cabin. The only woman saved was Mrs. Hayden, wife of the engineer. A partial list of the persons drowned follows: Miss Lizzie Graham, Grahams vllle, Ky.; Miss Trixie Grimes, Grahams vile, Ky.; Colonel Turner. Smithland, Ky.: Chaylon Gordon. Smithland, Ky.; William Webb, Smithland. Ky.; Watts Davis, Livingston county, Ky.; Mrs. David Adams. Smithland. Ky.; Miss Lucy Bar nett, Smithland, Ky.; Clarence Slayden, Lola. Ky.; Mrs. W. A.

President Advised to Withhold Ap proval of a Council Concession. The Secretary of State has received from the Attorney General an opinion in which he advises the President to withhold his approval from the' franchise granted by th? Porto Rican executive council to a railroad company for an extension of Its lines, on the ground that In granting this franchise the executive council exceeded Its powers in allowing at the same time an exemption from taxation of the work for a period of twenty-five years. The Attor ney General holds that such an exemption can be granted only by the legislature of the island, and that the franchise embody ing such exemption as a condition Is for that reason void and illegal. The State De partment will forward the opinion to Can ton. Framing * Uniterm. Divorce Law.
