Names of Many Offi- l cers of the Army on Boxes. | { A USTOMS INSPECTOR JAMES CAMPBELL and the smuggled | goods seized on the army trans- | port Solace came down from Mare Island on the Monticello vesterday. The stuff was piled up on Mission-street wharf to a height of four feet, and never before in the history of the structure has such a valuable cargo been dlscharged there. There were silks that would “‘stand alone,” rare vases that millionaires might covet, furs that a Rus- sign would pay a small fortune for, tea | sets that cannot be purchased in this | country and laces that would drive a con- | notsseur crazy. All these were piled up on the wharf and half a dozen officers stood guard over them. Later all the boxes, and there were more than 100 of them, were sent to the appralger's store. Among the boxes that came down on the Monticello were some addressed to “Lieutenant H. W. Carpenter, U. 8. M. C Adams Express office, Washington, D. C. Three packages were addressed to ‘“Miss Helen Bryan, 1226 Parallax street, Mount Adams, Cincinnati, Ohio.”” One from Lieutenant Hobson of “kissing’’ fame was directed to *‘Miss Annie Hobson, Greens- bro, Ala.” Another bore the address ‘‘Mr. W.'J. MclIntyre, Evans Block, Riverside, Cal.’** | The most valuable case of all, however, was one intended to reach “Mrs. George Richardg, care of Hon. R. Q. Mills, Cor- sicana, Texas.” This box contains “loot” from the city of Tients The man in charge of the box frankly states that the stuff was secured from some of the shops in the Chinese city after the allies had taken possession. Then_there were cases addressed “Dr. A. C. Russell, U. S. N., 20 Park avenue, New Rochelle, New York”; “N. E. Seventh street, Kansas utenant A. B.

Resolved, That teachers on the sub- | stitute list be assigned to classes and teachers on the unassigned list be placed on the substitute list in the chronological order of their appoint- ment to the department; provided, that the date of appointment to day service of teachers who have been transferred from evening to day schools be determined by regarding their experience as evening school teachers as equivalent to one-half of similar experience acquired in day schools.—Resolution presented by Super- intendent Webster and taken under ad- visement by the Bnar}! an Education. Superintendent Webster made an at- tempt yesterday to have the Board of Edvcation make an official declaration of its intention to adhere to the priority of service plan’in the promotion of teachers. He introduced the foregoing resolution at the board's meeting, but no action was taken and the usual “taken under ad- visement” was uttered by Chairman Mark. This course usually means months of inaction, but Director Kincald, who was the only one to express any interest in a proposition which affords the only just way of assigning teachers, moved that it be taken under advisement for one week, which was ordered. When a resolution was adopted assign- ing Miss M. A. Rollins and Miss A. A, Duffy, respectively, to the new classes in the Bernai Heights and Pecbody schcois, Webster said: “I do not know the status of these two teachers and would like to be informed on the subject,” ‘“They are high up on the list,” replied Mark, “‘practically third and fourth.” Inqiliry showed that four teachers pre- cede the two named in the order of original appointment. They are Miss M. A. Harrigan and Mrs. J. D. Cooper, Mrs. C. C. Newhall and Miss A. E. Little.” This evidént violation of the priority of service System is explained by Mark by the state. ment that the assignments were made on the request of principals. D. Lambert of the Lincoln Evenin, School was granted a year's leave o absence and R. L. Mann of the even- ing eligible list was assigned to the class during his absence. Superingendent Webster informed the board that Principal Simmons of the Hor- ace Mann School had requested permis- sion to receive voluntary contributions from his_puplls for the Iveston relief funds. r. Webster said that the ur- ncy of the case needed no comment and fie Toved that the board's rule be sus- ended and the request of Mr. Simmons ge granted. Director Kincaid moved an amendment that tke . principals of all schools be authorized to receive such contributions. The amendment was car- ried, Denman alone voting against it. Superintendent Webster stated that he had received a number of requests from principals for indigent books and his own resclution empowering him to distribute not to exceed $200 worth of the books, in addition to the $3000 already appropriated, was adopted. Casserly thought that the TAPESTRIES AND - BY MARGARET IX. (Concluded.) 1 After the monopolization by the court | | of the producticns of the Gobelins, the looms at Aubusson were obliged to meet the more general requirements of the peo- ple; {hey were, therefore, protected against foreign rivals, and have produced work, good of its kind, but not as ambi- tious as the panels of the royal tapestry AINSLEE. h England has been content to | import rather than to manufacture tapes- | try, the revocation of the edict of Nantes and the sacking of Antwerp brought to her shores many foreign weavers. whose influence upon English textile fabrics is plainly to be seen in the specimens in va- | rious royal palaces and museums. Within recent years William Morris has made from designs by Sir Edward Burne-Jones tapestries which many consider quite equal in artistic excellence to the best. Flemish weavings. Some critics, how- ever, claim that this modern patterning is too decided, the anecdote too importunate the result too overpowering to the gen eral furnishing. and is, therefore, lackin | in the restfulness of the taded storied tay estry. Certai Morris did not aim at | the exaltation of the misty in his worsted | frescoes, for he distinctly states that “‘the | first thing to be considered in the design- | ing*of tapestry is the force. purity and elegance of the silhouette of the objects | represented and nothing vague or inde- | terminate is admissible. * * * Depth of | tone. richness of color and exquisite | gradation of tints are easily to be ob- tained in tapestry, and it also demands that crispness and abundance of beauti- ful detail which was the especial charac. teristic of fully developed medieval art. Upon general principles, realistic flowers and modeled figures are unsatisfactory and frequently discomfiting, because fig- ure tapestry hangings, like other designs, must lose their freshness and harmony by exposure, and when, oftentimes happens, the change in flesh tints and draperies is not uniform, they present a poor appearance; the flutter of a draught may unsettle the perspective and an inad- | vertent fold rhay sever a courtier's hea from his trunk. The so-called erdure pleces, however, were but improved by he mellowing blend of time. In an old French work we even find this work rec- | ommended as a cheering thing for melan- | cholia: “If 1 were in your place I would | buy a fine hanging of tapestry ‘de ver- | dure, and I would suspend it in your | | daughter's room to enliven her mind and raise her spirits.” When Louis XIV gave tapestries worth a small fortune to the Kings of Spain and Prussia and to the Czar of Russia there vas no lack of occupation for the royal | tapestry looms. Since such commissions are no longer given, and since the wall hangings of feudal castles and cathedrals | —the “softer echo of stalned glas which taught its simple lessons of chivalry or morality—have been long since reglacnd“ first by carved wooden pageling, then by stamped leather and recently by color- printed papers, tapestry weaving is grad- | ually becoming one of the lost arts, and | unless the old tapestry factories can de- vise a means of bringing about the ex- cellence of medieval work in competi- tion with modern, machine-made products the doom of this romantic fabric is in- evitable. The manufacture of carpets much re- sembles that of tapestry except that (in a high warp velvet pile) the worsted threads of the web which form the surface of the carpet are joined by a double knot on two threads,of the warp, thus forming on the | face a ring proportionate to the height of the pile. Next comes the shearing of the carpet, whose beauty is largely dependent upon the precision and nicety with which this last operation is performed. Carpets were originally used as table and couch coverings and draperies, but have been lowered in use as the cheapened cost of adays the fine old Oriental carpets but relics the fabulous splendor Eastern rajahs. who not only adc | their tents with prie nes ! pile_carpets of | Cashmere goat and of camel | ers, is first set out; and the other i, OTHER TEXTILES Copyright, 190Q, by Seymour Eaton.
