The lecturer described the various phenomenon of nature having color, faying that the tornado is a murky gray and the gentle zephyr a soft pink. Bill Xyf was introduced, probably for the first time, as a mystic, Mme. Le Plongeon citing his description of a cyclone as of two kinds, "the dark maroon and the iron gray, with black mane and tail." She thought that he spoke not wholly In The few lone men in the audience, looked assent and the women nodded confirmation when the sneaker remarked that men always prefer blue to red or yellow. In that conr.ectlon she conveyed a delicate hint to women to wear blue gowns when they wanted anything, by relating the experience of a writer whose pretty blue gown was admired by an editor in accepting her story, while her second attempt was rejected when she chanced to wear brown. Too much blue is depressing, said the lecturer, and should always be relieved by touches of yell or orange.

It is the color of resignation, of melancholy, of aspiration and spirituality, and has a decided effect upon the mind and the nervous system. It is soothing in neuralgia and other diseases of the nerves, when not used to excess. A novel suggestion was that "color baths" are to be luxuries of the future. The plan is simple. consisting merely of allowing the water in the bath to absorb light through blue glass, or whatever color may be needed, for two hours.

Mme. Le Plongeon read a selection to show that melancholy literature is blue. Miss Mabel Monroe, sang a blue song "The Storm" and Miss Mary K. Sinclair played blue music from Beethoven. In support of her statement that ghosts are "blue.

she told of a ghost that on appeared to her enveloped in a blue light that Illuminated the room. Moonlight has a hint of blue in it, she paid. and inspires tender and sentimental which was illustrated by Mips Sinclair in a moonlit "lieder" of Mendelssohn. A practical suggestion was to the effect that email fiats are made to look larger by being decorated in blue, with golden yellow for relief. At this point the lecturer, who was dressed in dark blue, with orange at belt and throat, donned a gauty ecarf of orange "to relieve depression caused by the costume and the color theme" and went on to the second color, orange.

This, she. claimed, is animating and Inspiring. Fire is the compendium of all tints of orange, from red to yellow, paid the speaker, who then gave an interesting of fire myths. referring to the Teaching of Hermes Trismegistus. that the soul leaves the body at death as a flame emerging from the mouth.

Orange is the color of revelry and action, and Spanish music was played in illustration. Miss Maida Craipin lead a poem on "The Stealing of Fire." founded on an old myth, by John ance Cheney.

The work of the Industrial School of the Children's Aid Society, now on exhibition In the United Charities Building, recalls an incident of some years since in connection with one of the society's wards. On a stormy night in December a mite of humanity was huddled in the angle of one of the big Broadway office buildings, half burled beneath the. bundle of papers he had been trying to sell. Other boys were still crying their wares to the hurrying crowd. He watched them with jealous eyes.

A passerby noticed this disconsolate heap of boy and papers, and wondered what it could mean. Then lie went over and sat down on the stone steps and took the small, half frozen fingers in his own. "Tired?" he smiled down into the great, hungry "Hurt m' foot," was the somewhat unwilling admission. Investigation proved that weeks of cold and exposure had converted chilblains into deep wounds, and the skin was scratched and torn to the knees. "Where is your home, little man?" "Ain't got any." "But where you sleep?" "In 'c sis, she works upstairs." "Then you have a sister?" "I'ruwer.

too." "Well, can you tell me where the bin is?" "On Riv'tQn street." "What number?" "Don't know." Llttie enough, It seemed, was to be gathered In a conversation like this. "If I buy all your papers, my little man, will you take me back to the bin and let me see where it is?" "Don't want to go there any she beat me." And the joy that for a moment had lighted up the great hollow eyes changed to a scowl of fear and pain. A month or two previous both father and mother had been taken away, leaving this mite of a boy, a sister a year or two older, and a tiny baby brother. One of the "neighbors" a woman who occupied half of the "dark room" (little more than a closet) of a rear flat on the ground had volunteered, under the influence of excitement and beer attendant upon the double funeral, to care for the children. Her care, however, had speedily dwindled to hiring the girl out for two cents an hour to another "neighbor," making the boy sell papers all day and half of the night, and letting the baby lie on a heap of rags In her hall the "room." This was the state of attain to which "Boh" did not to return.

Under promise of protection, however, he consented at last to lead the way to "the a sort of hole in the cellar of the tenement building In which "she" lived. "She" by this time was weary enough of her bargain, and lor a "consideration," which was simpler than argument or coercion, was glad to relinquish ail claim on the three waifs, who were promptly turned over to the kindly care of the Children's Aid Society. Curiously enough, a few months later a friend of the society wrote that a friend of hem In the West wanted to adopt a brother and one to be a baby, If possible. Now, here wares brother and sister, and baby as well. After some little time the Western friends were persuaded thai this was Just the right number, and that these were just the little people to make their childless home what it ought to be.

So the three were dispatched with a caretaker, who saw them safely Installed In their new home. And such days and weeks of sunshine and fresh air as such months and years of work and play, of love and happiness! Toward the end of that first summer some photographs came back to the friends In the into whose hearts the three little homeless ones had crept of "Bob" and his pet goose, of "Sis" and the big collie, who had been fast friends with her from the first, and of the poor little half starved baby brother, who had at last found such a haven of strong arms and love and plenty. All this was years ago. The baby is a big boy now. "Sis" Is married and has a home her own, and "Bob" manages his foster-father's farm and cares for his footer-mother, who is a widow now and growing gray and weary.

And for the one who paused to question "Bob" (in that cold winter's nlKht, the letters from the happy Western home, the stories of farm life and little household happenings, come like rays of sunshine as the years roll by. ARTG EXHIBIT. MANY INTERESTING EXAMPLES OF WORK SHOWN BY WOMEN. A good illustration of the practical tendencies of modern art is found in the Guild of Arts and Crafts, a kind of "art students' league," in the mete distinctly utilitarian branches. guild Is made up principally of women, although a few men have been admitted, who form themselves into classes in any desired line and engage teachers as needed.

In this way they receive the benefits of best Instruction at a reasonable cost. The guild has opened an exhibition of work by the members at the rooms. No. 132 East which will continue throughout the week. The arrangement is most attractive, and the many visitors yesterday were loud in their approval.

A collection of pottery by the Brush Guild is interesting. Mrs. Charlotte A. Busok and Miss Amy M. Hicks exhibit carved and tinted leather and copper work adapted to .1 variety of Woven fabrics by Mrs.

Douglas Yolk and Miss Marie Little attracted a great deal of attention, although they are entirely different in character. Miss Volk' a production! are in creamy grounds, with scattered designs, bordered by stripes of dim, aesthetic shades, while Miss Little prefers arrangements Wholly of stripes in soft blues, browns and greens. Other members hhow "stencilled" curtains in different materials, revealing the possibilities of this mode of decoration as applied to burlap, denim or plush. One of the most novel exhibits is of vegetable dyed India mulls, the work of Miss Amy The mulls are of the finest gossamer texture and before dyeing them Miss Micks tied pebbles or shot in simple designs. When the strings and pebbles were removed after being dipped white designs were left.

In one case, when the shot was used, an unexpected and happy result was obtained through chemical action the lead, which caused the hide to fade in the part touching it. i an a dark blue ground was a crinkly polka dot of pale blue, in a circle of misty white. Miss Hicks took the idea from the custom of savage tribes in other parts of the world. Bookplates by Mary F. Hackley.

WARNS IT AGAINST DEMANDING $150,000 SEEKS POPULAR SUPPORT. COMMISSIONERS AT ONCE REPLY TO HTM THAT THEY WILL NOT WITHDRAW PENDING BROOKLYN APPLICATION Albert L. Johnson yesterday sent to President Orr of the Rapid Transit Commission a letter, or proposal, with reference to building a rapid transit tunnel to South Brooklyn and Staten Island that Mr. Orr characterizes as "very disappointing." He tells Mr. Johnson that the letter binds him to nothing.

Mr. Johnson's letter to President Orr caused considerable indignation among the commissioners, all of whom were on hand, with the exception of Mr. Smith. The letter says in part: I do not suppose that you really expect me to enter into an immediate binding obligation on the mere basis of what you, a single member of the board, are willing to recommend. If the board itself will make me a proposition on the lines which I stated to the Municipal Assembly, I will consider it: and unless I find it coupled with unfair or Illegal conditions I will accept it.

One of the condition? stated in your letter is that I deposit now with the Controller $150,000, to be forfeited to the city In certain contingencies. I do no? refuse this, hut I must first have a positive opinion from my counsel as to its legality. By advice of counsel I warn you now that In this you are treading on dangerous ground. Have you any lawful right to be influenced in your official action by such a consideration? Would a plan adopted by the commission under such an Inducement be valid? That these are questions of great gravity you will see if you study the decision of the Court of Appeals in the Kingsbridce extension case, reported In. Volume 133, New-York Reports.

Th? Klngsbrldgp franchise was nullified, among other reasons, because the applicant offered to pay Mt Into the city treasury, which the court held was an unlawful Inducement in effect a bribe. After outlining the route through Brooklyn, to Fort Hamilton and Staten Island, Mr. Johnson says: My engineers and surveyors who are now at work will' enable me. however, very speedily to lay rut quite as precise a general plan as that you have submitted to the Municipal Assembly. Continuing.

Mr. Johnson says: I cannot allow you without protest on my part to Intimate that I am In default in this ness. It would have been idle and foolish (and in your heart you know it) for me even to hope for the adoption of my plan unless I first stirred up the people to support it. I know of no better t'me and no better means for winning that support. Mr.

Orr, this is a serious business for you no less than for me. If the people fall to get these advantages, upon you and your colleagues will rest the responsibility. After the beard had considered Mr. Johnson's letter. Mr.

Orr wrote to him as follows: Your letter of March 27 has been received and was read to-day at a meeting of the Board of Rapid Transit Railway Commissioners. It Is very disappointing, not only varying in most essential particulars from your proposal to the Municipal Assembly, as we understand It. but It contains no definite proposal and binds you to nothing. The board instructs me to say that it will not withdraw Its pending Brooklyn application upon such vague statements as those contained in your letter. 1 might add that, as you do not object to our proposed route, except on the ground that it does not extend far enoueh.

there is nothing whatever to prevent your bidding on that route, when bidding Is invited, and subsequently applying for the extension to be built, either by the use of your own credit or by the use of the city's credit, as soon as available. Copies of the whole correspondence will be transmitted to the two houses of the Municipal Assembly. Calvin W. Hendrick, engineer of sewers, reported under date of March 20. the anniversary of the day when work was started on the tunnel a year ago, that there had been constructed twenty thousand feet of sewers, from the to twenty feet in width, along the line of the tunnel.

Eleven thousand lineal feet of old sewers had been removed during the year. Chief Engineer Parsons reported on the request made some weeks ago by the Bricklayers' Union, that more brick instead of concrete should be used in the construction of the tunnel. Mr. Parsons said that concrete was a preservative of steel, keeping the air arid moisture away from it, and therefore was desirable. However, he said there would be mXions of brick used in the building; of sewers, and, in addition, there would be a brick backing along the side walls the entire length of the tunnel.

O.V CITY HALL LOOP BEGINS. STAKING OUT SOUTHERNMOST END OF PARK TO ALLOW FOR THE REMOVAL TREES. The preliminary steps toward digging the southern end of the Manhattan tunnel, which is to loop under City Hall Park, were taken yesterday. Francis D. Fisher, chief engineer of the Company, which has the contract, with Chief Engineer Miller, of the Park Department, had men at work placing stakes In the southernmost end of City Hall Park to make allowance for the trees which will have to be removed.

After this part has been Staked and mapped out a consultation will be held between Mr. Fisher an.l officials of the Park Department relative to the removal of the trees. One of the trees to go is a big fellow near the asphalt walk west of the fountain, planted more than forty years ago. It is the largest tree between the City Hall and the Postofnce. Because of the deep shade it throws it has become an object of veneration almost by the "Weary Willies" who assiduously hold down the park benches in warm weather.

A "hobo" convention to protest against Its removal may be called at an early The work on the southernmost end. which Mr. Fisher would begin in earnest in two weeks, will consist of a loop through the park. The loop leaves the main line at the Hall of Records, and coes trough the park toward Broadway, ninning in from of the City Hell and rejoining the mam line at Mail-st. FOR STATE (AMI.

"The transition from a state cadaveric emaciation to a new life of robust health and strength in so short a time seems a little short of miraculous." Dr. F. J. Gregory, Knsville, reports the case of Mrs. F.J.

Gregory, js follows: ''For eighteen months my wite, aged forty-one years, was a sufferer from a Gastro-intestinal Catarrh, which resisted my best-directed efforts at relief. The taking of the smallest quantity of the most easily digested food on the stomach would produce an attack of nausea and vomiting, the severity of which is seldom witnessed, and when the stomach was free of food she would hays attacks of Gastralgia of the most excruciating nature. She also suffered from habitual constipation, at times with hemorrhages from the bowels. I pursued the usual line of treatment, such as simple bitters, dilute Hydrocyanic Acid, Bismuth, and called to my help two of the most skilled physicians in Virginia, who supplemented my treatment with some ot the newer such as Effervescing Bicarb. Lactopeptine, Carlsbad Mineral Salts, but with no benefit, and so her condition went on from bad to worse until death seemed almost imminent from inanition.

I then put her on a milk diet, with a I TTUkft SP INQ no every hour or so during the day. and glass of 1-1 1 nlA, yiAILK after the use of the first bottle improvement was marked, and before a case had been used I regarded her cure as complete.

The reduction ofits capital stock from to J10.0C0.000 takes much of the water out of the stock, but it was remarked yesterday that John F.

Carroll, the actin? leader of Tammany Hall, is still of controlling in the company. Perhaps Ml holdings are larger than those of any other man. He is credited with holding nearly six thousand shares, of the par value of JSOO.OOO. What he holds through dummies does not appear on he surface, I but Tammany men not holders of stock assert that he holds easily five thousand shares in names of his friends. The fierce criticism of the Ice Trust by the and public last year disconcerted the managers to some extent, and many of the things they had planned to In order to increase profits were temporarily abandoned.

With Carroll and at least one of the Van Wycks still interested Ice Trust, it is expected that many of the for increasing profits that were shelved last year will be brought forward again, and carried to completion. The big concern, it is thought, will con trive to get the best docks and pay the -mailed rental prices for them.
