FOR ART AND ETHNOLOGY Results of the Energetic Work of Prof. W. J. McGee. INSTRUCTION OF THE PEOPLE Halsey C. Ives Tells of the Flans to Increase the Usefulness of the Collection Assembled. BY WILLIAM E. CCKTI9. Written for The Star and the Chicago Record Herald. ST. LOUIS, December 27, 1905. St. Louis Is to have two new museums as usufruct of the fair. One will be for art; the other for natural history and ethnology, like the Field Museum at Chicago. Toward the close of the exposition the St. Louis Public Museum Corporation was organized, and employed Prof. W. J. McGee, chief of the department of ethnology, to secure ma terial for a permanent exhibition. Prof. McGee is one of tho ablest scientists in this country and one of the highest author ities upon ethnology. He has been con nected with the 8mlthsonlan Institution for many years and has won international fame in his profession. He is a man of great energy and determination, and is likely to succeed In whatever he under takes. He has behind him a board of lead ing citizens, enthusiastic in their desire to secure a flrst-class natural history museum for St. Louis similar to that of Chicago. They already liave about 2,000 names on the rolls, and a membership committee 18 canvassing for reinforcements and making it a popular movement. So popular has It become that an average of 2,000 visitors pass daily through the gate at the annex of the art gallery, where the nucleus of the museum is already Installed. This collection comprises several hundred carloads of exhibits, presented by foreign governments and private exhibitors. The ttnest and largest are from Japan. The col lection includes almost every classification, from the piaster cast of a monument to an car of corn, and it is installed in an at tractive manner. A low estimate places Its value at $500,000, and in time Prof. McGee Intends to till up the gaps, complete the various sections and make it a symmetrical museum. It will remain where it is for the pre?ent. hut it Is the Intention to erect a permanent and appropriate building near the corner of Lind?ll boulevard and ivlngs Highway, convenient to the street cars, so that it may be easily accessible to the peo ple. Perhaps some great man will come forward nnd do unto St. Louis as Marshall Field has done unto Chicago. The gift of a building would be greatly appreciated. And St. I.ou'.s has several tralnloads of million aires. . ? i popular Instruction in Art. In the permanent portion of the art build ing Is already gathered the nucleus of an art museum, the finest collection of Ameri can sculpture that was ever brought to gether. and it is proposed to add to it the already fine gallery of the St. Louis Mu seum of Art and develop around it a school of art, architecture and music which will be a great thing for the city. "We acquire manv rare and beautiful things," said Hal sey C. Ives, who is the soul of the move ment, "but there is seldom any effort to teach our people how to utilize them. 1 his institution is Intended for that purpose. It is to be a workingman's art museum. We propose first to take the permanent part of the art building and make it an everlasting monument of the exposition, io meet tho plans we have made for the future It will be enlarged by the addition of a magnificent hall of architecture and an auditorium. Long corridors -will be extended from either end of the present building with a garden between them, and connect with a great temple of monumental architecture surrounding a central court, .T-OxUo feet in size, which shall be an architectural mu- i scum. On either wall of this tempie six j historical alcoves will be arranged in \ chronological order. In which will be in stalled characteristic examples of the great | periods of architectural development begin ning with the Egyptian and including the Assyrian, Greek. Roman, Byzantine, point- I cd Gothic. Saracenic, Hindu, Japanese, pre historic American and Italian renaissance. Before each alcove, stretching across the fifty feet from wall to wall, will be the imposing front of some noble structure, il lustrative of the style and the period repre sented. . Within, the alcove will be decorated In ! appropriate designs and adorned with the best models of it3 particular school, with full details In color and dimensions of noted buildings, sculpture and other arclil- i teetural features, while in the center of the great hall will be a model of the ground j of the Louisiana purchase exposition, with ; all the buildings in place, carried out on a ? relative scale?a permanent memorial of the j exposition, which was the latest triumph J of renaissance architecture. "This plan for the illustration and com parison of the great architectural epochs of the world," continued Prof. Ives, "has been submitted to leading authorities in the l.'nited States and Europe, and they have been unanimous In commending it. Beyond, and connected with the hall of architecture, are to be a library, reading room, reception hall, lecture rooms and of fices for the officials of the institution, whi'.e at the extreme end will be a circular auditorium, capable of seating several thousand people, where it is proposed to give popular lectures on art and interpret great musical compositions, which shall be free to the teachers and pupils of the pub lic schools. "The cost of the building In the first in stance will be a million dollars, and It Is proposed to raise the money by subscrip tion in St. l^ouis. Much of the decorative detail has been rescued from the various buildings of the exposition and is now be ing put Into permanent form bronze, stone and cement. The great equestrian statue of King St. Louis in bronze will stand In front of the building, supported on"either side by two groups representing tho At lantic and Pacific oceans, which will be well remembered by visitors to the exposi tion. Special courses of lectures and musi cal recitals will- be given In the smaller halls, suitable for the students of the schools of painting, sculpture and archi tecture, which it is proposed to establish." Munificence of the Wealthy. In a city of the wealth and culture of St. lxiuls there ought to be no difficulty in se curing sufficient funds to carry out this magnificent project. During the year just closed nearly seven million dollars was be stowed as gifts upon art institutions in the I'nltv;! States. One million was contributed to found an American Academy at Rome, James Siiilman, president of the National City Bank of New York, gave ?1(ki,uhu to the School of Fine Arts in Paris as a token of appreciation for what that institution lias done for American students and Charles K. Freer of Detroit proposes to bequeath his collection of pictures and ceramics to tc.e government of tlu- I'nited States and put them in a building that will cost half a million dollars, the entire gift amounting to about $1,800,000. Charles Parsons of St. Louis has recently l?ft a collection valued at 1230,000 to ih-j institution of which tills school of archl ttcture is to be a part. Benjamin Fergu son lias given the Chicago Art Institution r. million dollars: Stephen Saullsbury his ftiven the Worcester (Mass.) Art Instltuia The Metropolitan Museum ">t Now York last year received gifts amount ing to more Uian half a million dollars. New York contributes $300,000 a year from its tax collections to the support of Its art Cilleries, and Iras erected for them build ings costing more than three million, ine tiroiklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences er joys an appropriation or |100,000 a year t!tu' has a magnificent building erected Dy the city. The Metropolitan Museum o;' New York has an endowment fund ot ?? bout Jio.ouo.ooo and an income of J&o.ooo .. year from membership fees. Chicago grants $tl7,<*io a year from the public treasury for her two gTeat museums, ana the Field 'Museum of that city has an en dowment fund of JIO.OOOJJOO. Washington, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Cin cinnati, Philadelphia, Boston, San Fran cisco, New Orleans and other cities have all been enriched by the munificence or their citizens and by the liberality of their municipal legislatures. But St. Louis has until now only her Museum of Art, whlcn has been a most useful and satisfactory institution, although Its facilities have seen limited. Art School of Instruction. j It Is a department of Washington Un: | verslty, although under a distinct and sep j arate management. Its graduates receive diplomas and degrees from the university, and its students have the benefit of in struction in modern languages, literature and history. It Is thus possible for any young man or woman to keep up the nec essary technical training that the art school of Instruction can give and obtain a liberal education In the other departments of the university at the same time. The Museum of Art and School of in struction were established by Halsey C. Ives, who is still the director, and has been from the beginning. He came Trom .New York as an artist In 1873 and started a school the following year. It was made a department of the university shortly after. Besides Its day classes, covering the tleias of artistic design and workmanship In the direct and applied arts. It maintains even ing classes In various branches for me chanics and other workmen who are em ployed during the day and desire to im prove their skill and taste. It has given instruction to not less than thirty thousand people. It has fifty-six graduates now working as professional ar tists In the city of New York alone who have formed an association to glorify their alma mater. Its classes have been filled by the sons and daughters of all grades of society?laborers, bankers, shopkeepers and professional men. Its widest influence has not been In the education of professional artists; its policy has been not to deflect young men and women from ordinary occu pations and practical careers, but to ele vate and develop the public taste. Hence the public sympathy with the present movement. The art collections of the museum cover a wide range and Include many notable ex amples of painting, statuary, porcelain, crystal, ivory, textiles, metal work and other objects of art, which have been se lected for their educational value and for practical use by students. The museum has been opened dally to the public and spe cial exhibitions of private collections have frequently been made. Popular lecture courses have been given each season, and It has been observed that the "the plain people" rather than families of wealth and leisure have availed themselves of the op portunities offered by the museum in Its exhibitions, lectures and entertainments, as well as by Its school of instruction. To Elevate Popular Taste. It is proposed to Increase the usefulness of this institution by adding architecture to drawing, painting and sculpture, with an allied school of music. The motive of the movement Is to familiarize the public with the best forms of art, and to elevate the taste and Increase the enjoyment of the people. Both the business and residential sections of St. Louis are well supplied with excellent examples of architecture. No city in the country has a larger number of beau tiful homes. The newly built sections are especially admirable because the people have avoided ugly blocks of houses and the t? enty-five-foot lot and have provided themselves with detached houses, surround ed by lawns, partaking of a homelike spirit and of the individuality of the owner. The residence sections of other cities are too often solid rows of blank and meaningless fronts like the pigeon holes in a case, with nothing to distinguish one from another any more than prison cells. The departure from that plan in St. Louis indicates a high regard for the possibilities of living and a greater degree of culture than is found in la,rge Sltles; Therefore a school of architecture founded upon the broad lines Proposed by Mr. Ives ought to be welcomed and well supported. This school does not frr,?PX? l? ?'0UnK men from carpen f, ?"? blacksmith shops, but to cul tivate their taste and their skill so as to blacksmiths. carPe"^? and better To the present well-selected collections in the museum will be added the belt of the sculpture exhibited in the ITn1ted States section of the exposition, and models of all ^ art and decorations upon the grounds.

Body of Thomas Wickham Almost En tirely Consumed?Other Items. Slieolal Correspondence of The Star. i PPER Marlboro, January 4, 1900. Information was received here yesterday afternoon of the death of Thomas Wlck ham, a mechanic, fifty years of age, from burns received during a fire, which de stroyed a small tenant house on the farm of Mr. Thomas Magruder, njsr GlennUale, this county. Saturday evening. Wickham, it Is stated, had just completed a job of carpentry at the hom-; of the late Gov. Oden Bowie, near Colllngtoti, and was on Ids way to do some work near Glenndole. He was an unmarried -nan, and had rented ft small tenant house on Mr. Magruder'a place, intending1 to keep bachelor's hall temporarily. Saturday evening about 7:;? o'clock Mr. Duckett and hts brother-in-law. Mr. I.cula Dent of Washington, who were In the yard or the former's home, discovered r.an.ea leaping from the Magrudor house, about three-quarters of a mile away. As soon as possible they reached tha burning building, and were horrified to see the body of Wickham, literally burning to a crisp. The heat was so intense that it was im possible to get near enough to the body to take It out of the ruins, and the spectators had to witness the growsime spectacle of a human being burning to a crisp When the fire had subsided Sufficiently, what remained of the body?t)ij trunk arid a portion of the head?was dragged out and taken in a wheelbarrow to a nearby house. Justice of the Peace Uenlamln H. Cites of Seabrooke, acting In the rapacity of cor summoned a Jury of Inquest, with M T. Howard Duckett foreman. After viewing the remains -.he Jury repaired to the site of the burned building, where some witnesses were examined. A small col ored boy testified that lie iiad driven W.ck ham to the building a few hours before the fire broke out, and that the latter was under the influence of liquor. A lamp wes found, and the theory is that this lamp must have been upset and the clothing of the unfortunate man Ignited therefrom Otherwise he could, no doubt, have escaped from the burning building In safety. The jury returned a ve.-d'ct of accidental death, and the remains wero Interred at ' White Marsh, near Woodmore, this county. Deceased has a brother?Arthur Wickham? 1 residing in Baltimore, and two brothers? William and OUa?living In Prince Ueorge county.

A man says: j "some yearx ago, while employed as an Inspector by n large woven wire fence company, I was com | pelled to give up iny position because of 111 health brought on by coffee poisoning. "From childhood I had used coffee freely, and for many years had no thought that there was possible harm In it. "But as time went on I gradually became the victim of Indigestion, then of heart trouble, then of habitual headaches, and finally was completely knocked out by nervous prostration, which lost me a gnd and profitable Job tliat I had held for years. "At (list 1 scarcely knew what to do. as medi cines teemed to have no lasting effect, but It was tip to me to do something, and I turned my at tention to my diet. Having read more or leas 'ilout the injurious effects of coffee I concluded that I would experiment to see whether that wus the .cause of my troubles. "At first I cut down my cjffee allowance half using Postum for the other half of my table beversge. This helped me some, but did not do what I wanted?It did not relieve me entirely. I still suffered more or less with headache and nervousness. So 1 just 'took the bull by the horns' and cut the coffec off short. From the day that I began to drink Postum exclusively my health bo gan to Improve, and I have continued its use, as I expect to do for the rest of my life. "The result Is that I have not had a headache In years, no man has bolter digestion, my nerves are like iron and my mental powers are clearer, more vigorous and p.ceurste than ever before. "Shall be glad to testify at any time that Poa tum l'ood Coffee did all this for mc. and keeps me hale and hearty. I em do no less." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.
