and whiskey, which until tha.t time
were, forbidden urtlcles of consump?

If rxni.-et, the 'Paristain couturier, was
able to amass so valuable a collection
of art treasures of the eighteenth cen?
tury that in; realized no less than
j I, 100,000 by its recent sale at the Hotel
DrUOt, which. Ilko Christie's. In Lon?
don. i? the auction place for .ill stich

cepted from his feminine customers'
paintings, miniatures. bric-a-brac, stat?
uary and antique; furnitune in part or
lull settlement of their accounts. He
halt! plenty of opportunity of "spotting"
articles of vertu when making profes
fional visits to his clients' houses,
either to devise, freMi "creations" or
Id some finishing and toiling touches
;.? a costume.
Having expressed his willingness, to
accept some art object in payment of a
bUl, ho would never offer any price,
but would Insist on referring that ques?
tion to a couple, of experts, one of them
?being his own nominee, and they would
settle the value between them. This
won for him a repuwion for fair deal?
ing, and .is. moreover, his customers
iic-IteA'cd him to 'be extremely discreet,
they often recommended him ro old
families of provincial nobility In finan?
cial difficulties.
In this manner nis art collections be?
came year by year more famous, and
helped to advertise his dressmaking
business. Why he. should have wished
I to gei r;.| of his treasures is some?
thing of a mystery. According to some
the sale was merely prompted by a de
j sire to unload at a propitious moment.
I slnco just now there is a craze forr
eighteenth century art. Others insist
that the lo.-s of a fair friend to whom
he, wad devoted le.fi him with an intol?
erable sense, of loneliness amid his once
so cherished a-rt collections. Whatever
the cause may foe. however, he has re?
tained some of his ChOJCe&t places?
enough to fill d. good sized salon, and
he proposes to dovote a portion of the

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
BY PROGRESSIVES
Organization Effected and Sup?
port Pledged to Colonel
Roosevelt.
New York, July 1.?A State organ?
ization of the Progressive parly wat*
started with much enthu?tns:u Saturday
night In Terrace Garden. It was named
the New York State. Roosevelt League.
Linden Bates, Jr., former Assemblyman,
who a few days ago resigned 11 chair?
man of the campaign committee of the.
New York Republican Club, presided
at the meeting, und Amos l'tnchot was
the chief spokesman. Resolutions de
'' nounclng President Taft Were passed by
acclamation.
About ilOO wer?, present, all avowed
Roosevelt men. and they got up one ot
.1 tlmo and expressed their supreme Joi?
nt being able to walk out ot the Repub?
lican party under the present conditions
! of Its existence. Most of them repre?
sented their respective Assembly dis?
tricts, and the general sentiment ex?
pressed was that a personal canvass
of these districts left no doubt that
"the people of New York City" wcro
heart and soul for Colonel Roosevelt.
At Last twenty assembly districts
reported that Roosevelt headquarters
had been established, and all the other
districts promised to ftnd headquarters
i M Ithin ?. nhort time.
I The meeting was hel.l In the recep?
tion room of the Garden, which was
appropriately decorated with national
j flags. r.ed bandanas flourished, and
I were draped around wilting collars.
. There were not enough of the bandanas
i to go around, and a scramble for them
!ensued.
Mr. Bates started the convention
with a speech.
"I can tell you In plain figures Just
j why we are meeting nere. to-night."
!. said. "The figures are these: Theo?
dore Roosevelt. 1,179,000; William llo
; ward Taft. T."?.f>nn. That represents
I the respective votes which these men
got at the primary elections through'
I out the United States. But Mr. Taft.
, because of certain Southern delegates,
i because of his discredited bosses and
? because of his sever.ty-slx fraudulent
I votes In the Chicago convention, has
been nominated. That is why wc are
