Rybic HUNTINGTON 1S AFTER ANOTHER GUATEMALA ROAD Wants Central Ameri- can Monopoly. WILL GREATLY SHORTEN TIME T O MARTIN ROBERTS TELLS OF HIS MISSION TO NEW YORK. e The Atlantic Seaboard to Be Con- nected by Rail With the Capital of the Central American Republic. Siciealle it Martin Roberts, one of “the largest finan- clers of Guatemala and a man who stands high in the confidence of the Government, is a guest at the Palace Hotel, where he registered two days ago from his Central American home. The mission that brings Mr. Roberts 8o far afield is nothing less than the sale of & railroad owned by the Government of Guatemala, and of which he is the lessee, with the privilege of selling out. He has been In correspondence with some Bast- ern capitalists for some time past, and is now on his way to New York to consum- mate the deal. Mr. Roberts, when seen last night, de- clined to state who the intending pur- chasers were, but from other sources it was learned that the man who is inter- ested on the buying end of the deal is none other than C. P. Huntington, who now controls the Guatemala Central Rall- road, and who has jong had an eye on the road controlled by Mr. Roberts, with a view of purchasing and thus getling into his hands practically all the paying lines in the Central American State. The road which Mr. Roberts is now on his way to New York to negotiate for the sale of is known as the Northern Rail- road of Guatemala, and runs from tha at- lantic seaboard to the city of Guatemala, a distance of 137 miles. In this distance there is a sixty-mile uncompleted gap which Mr. Roberts, bas- ing his opinion on reports submitted by different parties of engineers who have been over the ground, says can put through at a cost of §1,500,000, a compara- tively low estimate when the difficulties to be overcome are considered. The road, when completed in one con- tinuous line through from Porto Barrios, {on the Atlantic side, to the city of Guate- | mala, s expected to pay not less than 15 | per cent at the very start, and it |s thought that this revenue will be very materially increased as the country which it will open up develops. Mr. Roberts sees in the completion of this rcad, under the capital which Mr. Huntington will be able to bring to it, a very great advantage to Ban Francisco and the cific coast, as well as to the Atlantic cities, which will be brought into much more direct communication with | the interior through being able to load | thelr goods on rails that have an Atlantic seaboard terminal. He says that while the East will be benefited by this. it will | have the same effect on the trade of this j¢ by bringing fhe time from San Fran- | cisco to the city of Guatemala down to | eighit days, whereas now It takes twenty- three to reach the capital of the little | republie.

Houses and their furnishings do not ex- | ist for themselves, but as a background for the people who Itve in them. -Just as | the trees, rocks, fields, animals have for thelr setting the green earth and the blue sky; just as pictures have a back- ground, a middle distance and a forc- ground, so human beings have their set- tings. If the setting be more striking or more elegant than the people for whom it exists, they are made insignificant and uncomfortable by it.. How many houses there are whose furnishings are much more attractive than their inhabitants! A woman of superficlal education and trivial character prides herself on having the most beautiful library in her State— rows on rows of the best books in beau- tiful bindings, in a room of the most artistic design, and nobody to read them! John Burroughs says that “every man'’s house is in some sort an effigy of him- self.”” When you build and furnish a house you make public proclamation of your taste, your manners, your sincerity. If you wish others to think you richer, more fashionable, more cultivated than you really are you may fill your house with exquisite things. Yet the contrast between the environment and the owner will be only the more evident and the more pitiful. The house and its contents should be the outgrowth of the tastes, habits and occupations of its owners. Farm life in its best aspects Is suggestive of breadth, generosity, simplicity; of cleanliness, abundance of sunlight, fresh air and good food; of the beauty of nature and free- dom from stiff formality. These are the things which the city dweller envies the country man. The furnishing and decora- tion of the farmer’s home should express the breadth, beauty and freedom of his life. It follows that some pieces of fur- niture and some kinds of decoration which are offered in the shops are quite out of place in a farmer’s home, On the other hand, city life is charac- terized by extreme limitations so far as nature is concerned; and yet it is rich in opportunities for culture and complicated with every kind of mechanical con- venience and device. Space, air, sunlight, pure water are precious commodities. The whole interior of the house must be adapted to the different aspect of numan life. However varied the tastes and hab- its of city and country dwellers, however limited or abundant the income, however rough or dainty the occupation, one fact pervades every kind of life and must therefore be the basis of all principles of decoration—‘'the domestic spirit is quiet, informal, unceremonious; loves ease, pri- vecy, low tones, loves the chimney cor- ner, the old armehair, the undress g: homely cares, children, simple pleasures. Whenever the home becomes a show place, a museum of bric-a-brac and cu- rios, it violates the first and most im- portant requirements of the family. Ex- pensive and elaborate houses may provide for both the domestic life and the public, ceremonious life, but the average house of Americans, which costs from $1000 to $10,000, can devote never more than & few rooms, and some- times only one, to formal entertainments. The first principle of house furnishing is therefore to have nothing which does not contribute to the use, the comfort and the refinement of family life. After these have been taken into account those whno have the means may add elegance, Jux- ury and stateliness to their establish- ments. The demands of formal hospital- ity must always be subordinate to those of family comfort. In earlier times, when class distinctions and occupations were definitely marked, people inherited not only houses but fur- niture as well. There was consequently no temptation for them to imitate those who were r:cher than themselves. Much of the hideous taste displayed in America is the natural outcome of democracy. Everybody in this country is trying to rise, vet those who have risen are not necessarily the cultivated in taste. Since money can buy both real and sham ele- gance those who wish to appear elegant imitate their superiors in clothes and fur- niture, often with disastrous effect. Imi- tation becomes, therefore, a dangerous motive, for it is likely to lead to the choice of articles which, however suit- able for some other family and nowever pretty in themselves, are quite inappro- priate in the situation of the purchaser. Taste is a matter of cultivation as much as is efficiency or honesty; skilled work- men are those who have learned thkeir trade well and practiced it faithfully; honorable people are those who have formed the habit of truth-telling. Taste can be cultivated by seeing beautiful things and by analyzing the principles by which they have been developed; still further by the habitual those principles in one's own household. application .of | | are there displayed in order to have good | taste. Nature provides an immense and comparatively neutral background; ra- ture makes curves, rarely angles; nature blends the most sharply contrasting col- ors together in the butterfly’s wing, in the yellow poppies in a green meadow, in the feathers of the robin’s breast. The greater part of the world is in soft colors; browns and grays. greens and dull blues. The brilliant reds, yellows, pinks and purples are found in very small quanti- ties against a large neutral background. The most beautiful Orfental rugs are spe- cimens both of rare handicraft and of an exquisitely unconscious taste; for in them vivid colors are mingled in such small quantities on a rich background that the eye is satisfied rather thaan startled by the contrast. Nature, except in the very lowest or- ders, never makes a hundred or a thou- sand things exactly alike. There is a type, but the individuals always show slight variations. There are symmetry and regularity in design, but not identity. If this principle be applied to art in the household we see at once that it is ab- surd to make household furniture in pieces identical with one another. No two individuals are alike in size and habit, therefore the furniture and utensils pro- vided for each shouuld be adapted to his use; but since individuals vary ~within comparatively narrow limits articles of general use may be made after a type, with only the slight modification neces- sary to adapt them to the individual. The artistic value of hand-made things con- sists not merely in the fact that they are evidences of human skill, but in that they have the individual touch—mo twoe of them can be ctly alike. The three main considerations in house furnishing are health, suitability and beauty. The order of their application is often reversed, to the permanent injury of the housewife. The principle of ap- propriateness, when strictly interpreted, throws one back on hygiene. Nothing can be suitable which is not wholesome for those who are to use it. At the same time the first principle of decorative art is that nothing is beautiful that not wholly suitable. Whether the housewife must do her own work, with inadequate help, or whether she have an abundance of ser- vice, the greater part of the housework falls on some woman; everything there- fore should be planned to nomize her strength. Hea furniture §nd rugs are wholly unsuitable, unless the' to handle them. Heavy drajeries can never, be sanifary uniess quently cleanell; if proper provision cannot be made for doing this they should be dis- pensed with. kExquisite cleanliness is the primary essential of gocd housekeeping, therefore domestic architecture and in- terior decoration should be conditioned first of all upon this requirement. Every additional elaboration in living involves more labor or less hygienic conditions. This lmitation should never be over- looked In furnishing the house. finally, when wholesomeness and suit- Final ability have been fully sense of beauty may be gra Simple and inexpensive things need not be ugly, but often are so because they are poor imitations or have been designed by taste- less persons, or produced mechanically in large quantities. Much is said of the ar- tistic things which can be made of very cheap materials. Let no one be deceived. All beauty, except the beauty of nature, is costly, either in money or thought. Only an artist can produce beautiful ef- fects without money. Here and there are people born with thé sense of fitness and beauty; to them such magic may be pos- sible, but {n the majority of mankind the sensé of beauty is an instinct of slow growth, developed only by careful culti- vation. To_summarize, then: The interior of the house is a background for the peo= ple who live in it; it is a reflection of them; it should be the outgrowth of their tastes and habits. However varied fam- ilies may be, the family is not public and formal, but homely and unceremonious. The beauty of nature, when properly in. terpreted, Is the best guide to the art of man. Subordination, symmetry _with variation, perspectlve, are some of the guggestions which nature lends to art. | Health, appropriateness and beauty are the motives which should determine the kind and character of furnishings and decorations in a particular case. In the following paper the practical application of these principles will be discussed. Leland Stanford University. —— COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. Autumn-Winter Term, 1899-1900.
