The precinct he commands is the one containing most of the theaters, most of the dance-houses and “sporting houses” of all kinds in the city. When Captain Williams, who formerly commanded this precinct, was promoted to be an inspector, it was generally conceded that not a captain on the force could take his place and exercise the same control that he had over the crooked element in the precinct. It wasa post that none of the cap- tains craved, for its difficulties were known. The police commissioners gave the selection of a captain for the precinct much thought, and while they were thinking they put Captain Reilly at the head of the district pro tem.

One of the conspicuous objects in the land- scape east of the Soldiers’ home grounds is the new Catholic University building. The corner- stone of this structure, which is intended event- ually to be one of a group of buildings, was laid less than a year ago, but the work of construc- tion has been pushed forward so rapidly that the great stone walls are up and the pointed slate roof finished. The building is entirely enclosed and the interior walls having been lined with terra cotta the work of plastering has been begun. The open winter has greatly facilitated the work of building.

THE COMMITTEES HAVING IT IN CHARGE WISH THEY HADN’I—THE LIEDERKRANZ VERY ANGRY— THE NOTORIOUS ETEENTH PRECINCI—NOTES | OF INTEREST, Correspondence of Taz EVESING STAR, New York, March 29, The various committees having in charge the celebration of the centeunial of Washington’s inauguration have cause to wish they had | never been born, or, atany rate, that they had | never been appointed. It was a great social triumph to be a member of a committee to ar- range this great national celebration, and every man appointed thanked his lucky stars for the good fortune of being chosen, It looks now as ifevery man appointed grew several inches immediately thereafter in his own esti- mate of his social stature, too, and acquired a corresponding disdain for ordinary mortals who didn’t get an appointment. From the start the committees managed things in such a way as to keep out everybody except their “set? from having any enjoyment at all in the celebration, and, of course, this way of doing things at once antagonized the outsiders, who weren't at all backward in speaking their minds about the course pursue ‘Then there were internal struggles in the committees themselves; fac- tions and cliques were formed, and Greek fre- quently met Greek in a set-to that wasn't at all consonant with harmonious work. But the greatest row of all arose over the committee's blank refusal to allow the legislature of the state of New York to sit on a reviewing stand and see the parade go by. The legislature hud freely and generously appropriated $200,000 tor expenses of the celebration and had given ite permission for all the state militia to attend, and hence thought it had some rights; but Ward McAllister and his assistants let the senate aud the ney, understand plainly that the “Four Hundred,” and not the stato legislators, were running this show, and if the legislature of the state of New York wished to look on when the parade went by it could run its chances with the rest of the democratic qwwultitude and roost on the curbstones. Then the Albany lawmakers got mad. They got up a bill withdrawing the jurisdiction of fhe best part of 5th avenue from the New York park de- partment, and putting it in the hands of the senate and assembly, and said if there was any further insolence apparent in the centennial committee they would rescind their big appro- riation and order all the state troops to stay at ome, And then the outsiders who had been snubbed by the committee just howled their approval, and the members of the committees begen wondering if Lol after all there might not be some higher and mightier power than theirs in the land. So the legislators will now build their own reviewing stand, with nice soft pine boards to sit on, on the best site for viewing the parade that 5th avenue affords, which by their own law they are im absolute control of. o* * But this, although one of the worst calamities that has befallen the centennial Managers, isn’t more than a small fraction of the troubles experienced. It will be remembered that at all the great balls of the winter here the police stopped the wine selling und wine drinking after 1 o'clock in the morning. Somebody re- minded the swells of the ceutennial ball com- mittee of this fact, and suggested that per- haps they'd better see about this early closing business before they ordered the wine. The swells of the comiittee swelled up still more with a fine imitation of princely joer and said, with an arrogant curl of several ‘lips, “Please to remember, sir, that dis ig not the Arion ball, nor the Liederkranz ball, This is our ball, and the police will not dare inter- fere.” Then they appropriated $13,000 for wine, and the suggester of the cautionary measures looked sick. Yesterday an organiza- tion known as the Personal Liberty league, which has @ notion of making the early-closing | public instruction rather than public entertain- | ball of all the tatooed ladies and | pion.” law so obnoxious that it will be repealed, ap~ kointed ten of its members as special etectives to attend the centennial ball, aud if they cam catch anybody look- ing for the bottom of a wine glass after the prescribed hour they will immediately swear out and serve warrants of arrest on Ward Mc- Allister, Stuyvesant Fish and the cther swells who said “this is our ball.”. It isn't an eas) job for even a McAllister to get bail at 2 o'clock in the morning, especially if a justice is too sound asleep in bed at home to want to court for that express purpose, and there isn't duite so much princely Lautem as there was in the actions of the committee, and the gester of cautior measures is sarcastically proposing that the ball begin at 8 o'clock in the afternon as a sort of matinee attraction, so that the guests won't have to get away with all that $15,000 worth of wine in oue short hour, * The great German society, the Liederkranz, is working in harmony with the Personal Liberty league in this matter. Ever since Capt. Reilly's policemen stopped the wine sell- ing at the Liederkranz ball at 1 o'clock, that society has been making its influence felt in all circles where any measure can be brought to cies eam ee of tie ob- noxious puritanical law, The society has worked on a system.

Of this there are soine magnificent examples in New York city.

That Mr. Vanderbilt should have are, however, some examples of housea and of decoration of which Italy is the direct inspira- tion, and these are surpassed in magnificence by nothing else in this country. One of these is the Villard house, now the property of Mr. Whitelaw Reid. Another is the water-color room of Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, to which may be added the details of the dining-room, consisting of work of a kind not done before in three centuries. THE VILLARD HOUSE is almost the only example of a consistent ad- herence to one style, for in most of our fine houses we are given samples, as it were, of the different decorative schools and periods, and with an impartiality which ought to prove their owners truly cosmopolitan. ‘The Villard house is one wing of a group of seven houses that have been distributed within the proportions ofan Italian palace. The house was built at 4 time when Queen Anne was rampant, and its calm exterior and straight lines were at first disappointing to people who had been edu- cated toward gables and flying forms. trance is through the court. The vestibule is large and lofty, and gives the note of the house. | It is lined with Sienmarble with a deep frieze of marble mosaic in upright slender floral forms, A crystal lamp hangs from the vault, and broad mark teps lead up to glittering glass doors that open into the main hail. The hall runs at right angles, and into the central roow of the drawing-room suite at one end, and into the music room at the other. | cdi Here it broadens and receives the wide sweep of the marble stairway, As will be seen this length allows for that rare thing in an American house, a vista, in this case one that does not do violence to the adjective palatial, The hall bas superb proportions, and it is floored, lined, and ceiled with marble. But in justice to the archi- tects and decorators one must add that the first impression is not of magniticence of material, but of color, light, gay. cheerful color, This is acquired very subtly, for there are no. positive tints used. FEATURES OF THE HALL, The marble is Sina, the soft, warm, creamy tint of which is soagreeable, The side wails are paneled and the panels are separated by narrow strips of lighter-tinted marble, The ceiling consists of a series shallow vaults, carried down to the side s, and these are orna- mented with shells, garlands, and ribbons in marbles of lighter tint. The principal feature of the hall is the fireplace, above which is a hemieycle containing the gracious figure of Hospitality, with two smaller attendant figures. ‘Lhese were modeled by Mr. Augustus Saint Gaudens and are carved in low relief, Bal- ancing this panel is another oppo- site, containing an heraldic embiem, with its legend in marble mosaics Where the grand staircase enters the walls are carried up two flights to a ceiling composed of anels filled with flowing ornaments in relief. The walle are lined half way up with Siena marble. The stairs are marble, aud each mem- ber of the balustrade is of marble cut in some different design. But the beautiful and salient feauture of the stairway is the clock placed in the wall above the wide spaces of the lower landing. Thisis carved inthe marble paneling in the form of a square made of the signs of the zodiac in low relief, These indicate the hours. In the center of the panel, amid waving silv rays, are the clock hands, and above these the silver-rayed pendulum flashes across the creamy marble, A table of white holly anda hall seat reproduce as nearly as possible the tints of the marble, IN THE DRAWING-ROOM, Some one has said that to go from this hall into the drawing-room wasto emerge from a bath of peaches and cream to one of strawber- ries and cream. ‘This is a crude but effective way of suggesting the two color effects, and the peculiarity in each case is that the color does not seem to belong to the flat surfaces, but to stain the air. In the hall it results from the two-hued niarbles so inextricably mingled. In the drawing-room it isa resultant tint from mahogany, white wood and the embroidered silken hangings. The drawing-room consists of three rooms, or rather it is one room separated by panels and pillars into three divisions, The pillars, pilasters and wainscoting are mahogany, but the wood is everywhere cay the basis for or- nament, This consists of light vraceful designs, in inlays of white wood and mother of ot and amid ite interlacings the monogram V. ‘The wall panels are hung with light yellow covered with an all over design embroidered in red, or with these tints reversed, The furniture ia upholstered in the same manner. The mantels make panels of great beauty. The inlays are fit for museum prices; the fire facings are of Mexican onyx. Such a room, as may be imagined, is sufficient for itself, and is imhos- pitable for bric-a-brao, pictures, and the usual adornments of a drawing-room, THE DINING-ROOM is opposite the grand staircase and is entered through double oak doors. One end of the room is recessed by « perforated screen of oak into a small breakfast-room. The mantel is of Verona marble, copied from an old Italian piece, and basa procession of buffaloes coy- ered in low rel asa frieze, The walls are wainacoted to the ceiling in le plain except where they merge into the trieze, as German legends written in inlays. The ceiling is spanned by cross-beams, and within these are color decorations of garlands and women’s faces, executed by Mr. Francis H. Lathrop, The end of the room is paneled to the ceiling in Siena marble, Above the mantel are three ts itality,” and ‘modera- culiarity of these figures is that th, but seated, the arms clas) manner they form bold medallions that are connected by broad rib- bons.

Within this enclosure, which is lined with small squares of white ma- hogany, is a winding stairway with a light, gay balustrade, Above isa gilded dome and lan- tern, These complete the state apartments, but the the house throughout, with the exception of a small boudoir, which is French, is carried out with the same careful attention ‘to consistency an the detail. MRS, CORNELIUS VANDERBILT'S DINING ROOM, aled which except in extent parallels {ifteentheentury work, As decoration in kind had not been done consented to experiment carried on so luxuri- to his credit, but reflects his contidence in the decorator, Mr. Jno. La Farge. The dining-room was intended to serve in part for a picture gallery, as the lighting indicates. The only side light is received from a small conservatory which fronts on the street The main light comes from an oblong panel in the ceiling, filled with opalescent glass, glass jewels introducing the only positive color. It is the frame-work of this panel which is in fact the rest of the ceiling that receives the decoration. It is made up of fourteen oblong panels enclosed between heavy oak beams that are inlaid with a double Greék fret in mother of pearl, EFFECTIVE PANEL DESIGNS, Four of these panels are alike. In the center The en- | © |is the head of Apollo, as the sau god. ham- | mered from golden bronze. This is surrounded | by a wreath, of which the leaves are green se ne. At the ends are Loves, modeled and Lin Siena marble and holding ribbons of of pearl, The panel, which is of white y. is then framed in a wreath of bronze sed in an egg and tongue moulding of Opposite the fireplace, which’ is old oak, paneled tothe ceiling in old oak, and orna- mented with an interlacing design ialaid in mother of pearl, is a panel containing the date | of erection in raised Roman numerals of ivory. j At ewch end are wreaths of serpentine, with berries of coral and ivory. In line with thi and on each side, are two curious panels en. larged from some carved ivories preserved at Sens, France. These are archaic desigas of th sea and land, The sea is symbolized by curv- ing lines of mother of pearl, with Neptune and his trident and mermaids modeled in ivory and metals, Busy little figures digging and carry- ing flower-pots represent land, THREE PANELS balance these on the opposite side, The mid- die panel has a Roman design, with a central ornament and large flowers, inlaid with mother of pearl; on each side are clasped hands hold- ing olive branches of greenserpentine. Of the flanking panels one bears the word, pitali- tas,” the other “Amicitia,” in large raised let- ters of ivory between wreaths of serpentine and berries of coral and ivory. These are but tribu- tary to the four principal panels in which both beauty of design and magnificence of materials These enclose length figures of Bacchus, Ceres, Pomona land Actwon, modeled by Mr. Augustus St. Gaudens, i d in the metals with the mahogany lof the panels, Bacchus is la nude figure except for the slight drapery that crosses and falls bebind. The flesh is reproduced in the warm tinted Siena marble and the drapery is the white wood of the solid panel. Surrounding the figure and covering luis head are vine leaves earl, Some of the modeling is inevi- ably lost in the marble, but it remains @ figure of great beauty. Ceres BACCHUS, is fully draped, This drapery, falling in mul- titudinous folds, is carved in’ the solid white mahogany. The flesh, as all the flesh of these figures, is reproduced in Siena marble, She holds a bee of fruit simulated in ivory, ; coral, and various-tinted bronzes, Actwon, the hunter, is heavily bearded in short tunic with flying drapery. In one hand be holds a quiver and in the other a brace of game, in which the details are beautifully reproduced in marble aud metals, POMONA IN SIENA MARBLE, The fourth panel, Pomona, probably illustrates more fully than the others the beauty of the color to which all these luxurious materials merely contribute, Pomona isa nude figure carved in | Siena marble with some slight drapery carved from the white mahogany and girded up be- hind. She bends down a branch of an orange tree, and in the right hand holds a knite of gleaming mother of pearl. The foliage and the Yellow fruitare in metals, hammered in relief, To get the requisite tints, which range from aut’ — to brilliant copperish yellow, re- quired numerous experiments io alloys, and in tested formule that ought to be of permanent value, After description work of this sort needs no comment. Dining in a room deco- rated by a Mr. La Farge, with the collaboration of Mr. Saint Gaudens, seems to give a new sense of Mr. Vanderbilt's prosperity, A GALLERY FOR WATER COLORS. Through a portiere of cloth of gold, bordered by Aenais’ adventures in je after Raphael's cartoons and executed in embroidery, acorridor is reached leading to the smoking- room. This corridor is purely Italian. It con- sists of a central vault and two arcades. The floor is laid in small marble mosaics, and the walls are covered with a light brown velours, over which a Venetian de: is traced in gold thread, and under the amber-tinted ing light gives a beautiful eae f surface.

The hill upon which it is built slopes down gradually from the front of the building to the road and there are but few trees to obstruct the sight. Along the brow of the hill the building extends for a dis- tance of 266 feet. The central portion, which is finished plainly with a gable, is five stories high, while the rest of the building is four stories high, The material usedis Georgetown blue gneiss rock, which is laid in broken range rock face work. he great extent of the build- ing, the material used and the severely plain style of architecture combine to produce a striking effect of massiveness and solidity. The style of architecture is what iw known as modernized Romanesque and there is but __ little _ ornamentation, The blue stone work is relieved by trimmings of Ohio stone about the doors and windows. There is a little carving introduced here and there, but the design is essentially plain and the carved work relieves rather then enriches. At the main entrance, which is in the center of the front, there is a stone porch, and above is a recess made in the wall forastatue. At the north endof the building there is return wing. and from the rear of the central portion of the building is another wing, which is being fitted as a chapel. ‘THE INTERIOR. The arrangement of the interior is simple. There isa large central entrance hall with» Srand double return staircase. A grand arcaded hall extends through the wings on the rear from end to end. and the front is divided into large apartments for parlors, class and lecture rooms, prayer-hall, &c. In the return wings will be the divinity-hall and the rpcreation- | rooms. In the basement under the e' hapel, and | @ few steps below the level of the main floor, | Will be located the divinity library. reading- room, and recreation-rooms. The chapel floor | will be a half story above the main floor, and j entered from the landing of the grand stair- case. The kitchen, laundry, bakery, and servants’ apartments will be isolated in the back building. Two large staircases, partly of fire-proof construction, one at each end of wings, carried up arc back shafts inclosing the elevators and ventilating flues, lead to the upper floors, These floors are divided into suites of rooms, consisting of a sitting-room and bed-room for each professor and student. These rooms are arranged on both sides of a central corridor 10 feet wide. When completed they will furnish accommoda- tions for ten professors and sixty students. A private dining-room for the professors is pro- vided on the second floor, and on the fourth floor there is an infirmary, Bath-rooms and | other conveniences are provided on each floor. | The architect of this building, which is known as the Divinity building, is E. Francis Baldwin, of Baltimore. He is the nephew of Bish Elder, and was the architect of St. Mary's Theological seminary in Baltimore, the Johns Hopkins university, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad’s central offices, and several churches in Baltimore, ‘THE UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS will be grouped around a central park. Though the divinity building is the only one which will be erected at present, the sites for the other seven have been chosen. In the center, facimg the main avenue, will be the grand hall of science, with its laboratories. To the right, and rear of the hall of science, the observatory will be erected upon a high knoll, aud at the front, on the opposite side of the park, the li- brary building will stand. A large church, or university chapel, will be erected on the north, between the park and the divinity building’ with which it will be connected by an arcade, ‘The high grounds adjacent to the divinity building will be reserved as sites for colleges that may be etected by religious orders in con- nection with the university, and it is expected that residences for professors will be airanged ‘round the front of the park. The rector of the university, Bishop Kean, is now in Rome consulting with the wuthorities ‘ive to the organization of the new univer- . He proposes also to secure a competent corps of professors before his return to this city. During his absence the vice-rector, Rev. Mr. Corrigan, is the representative of the university. a ieeee Psyche’s Retrospect. ©, heart be still.
