A twenty-year franchise would enable I
bondi to bring a higher price , and they i
disposed to grant the favor to the extent

On the other hand , It Is urged that the
dlnance contains no provision for the clt
receiving a pecuniary benefit from the co

dency to offset the disadvantage of havl
a ton year lease of life. In many clt

Meeting * for Another M'c lt Confine-
Ing < < crninn on ramllj Itclttlons
nnil the Christian Hellclou.
Last evening the last meeting to be heli !
In the Presbyterian church by Evangelist
Plerson was attended by the largest throiif
that has been drawn together to hear tin
evangelist. The Interest has been such tha
It has btcn determined to lengthen the serle ;
by one week. Every night this week meet
Ings will be held In the Broadway Methodls
church , In order that the residents of thi
eastern part of the city may have the sanv
chance that has been accorded those In th <
wcitern.
The discourse last evening was an uucom
monly Interesting nnd powerful one , deallni
with the relations of parents and children I
one another and to the cause of Christianity
He said he would far rather see a boy be
come a Christian In the morning of life , am
save both body ami soul , than see an ol
man , whose sun of life was about to set , tun
over a now leaf and give to the Lord a bed ;
that had been devoted all his life to th
service of Satan. He believed In cncourag
Ing children In their searchlngs after truth
He could not see how a woman who was no
a Christian could take the responsibility c
bringing up a family of children. He coul
think of nothing better than for a woman t
grow old with a Christian family about hei
"If jour boy comes to you and wants t
know about the bible or Christianity , glv
him a mother's kiss and help him all ) o
can. "
"There Is a society higher than what yo
call the highest society , and that Is th
society of Christian character. If the youn
women of the nation would determine m
to associate with young men of bad habll
we vvoulfl see a wonderful uplifting of si
clcty. And In the young men there Is enou.g
energy to carry the nation for Christ. The
excel In business. In athletics , and all oth <
walks of life , and why should not their li
fluence be felt In the Christian church ? Ar
yet only 10 per cent of the people of tl
cct'iitry are found In the churches , and eve
less than that proportion of young peopl
Wo leave the towns and are soon swallow (
up In the cities. There Satan sets all h
traps for the young men , knowing thi
when he gets them he will get the father
the husbands , and the homes of the nation.
"In response to God's Invitation the Jiu
says he will come soon. The average me
knows what Is right and wants to do It , b
lacks courage. He tries to fix himself t
with a few good habits , when God wan
to cover him up with the cloak of his ov
rlgliteousness , which alone Is acceptable
his sight. "
Mr. Plerson closed his sermon with i
appeal to fathers and mothers to train the
children In the principles of Christianity , f
It Is Impossible to expect that the chlldn
will choose them when the see their parent
whose lives they take as their models ,
backward about accepting them. He thi

COPENHAGEN , April 20. ( Special Corre
spondence. ) I have hoard It raid that Den
mark possesses but three Immortal names ,
Trjcho Uralic , Uertcl Thorvaldscn and Hans
Christian Andersen. I will not venture to
say how far this Is true , but I do know that
there are many other names that slilno In
art , letters , science , statesmanship , names
revered by Europe , If not by the young west.
What shall wo do with Madrlg , the prince of
Latin scholars ; with Orated , the original In
ventor of the telegraph ; \\lth llloch , the
painter ? In proportion to Its size ( Denmark
Is no larger than the state of Mar } land ) , this
little country has even a remarkably long
list of gtlt-edgcd names.
Uut of them all , ThorvaUscn Is , I believe ,
the most widely known and admired , for ho
stands almost alone on his pinnacle. Well Is
ho named "tho Phidias of the north "
Horn about 1770 , In the home of a poor Ice
lander wooJ carver In Copenhagen , he seemed
to begin life under the least favorable con
ditions Imaginable. Hut the child watched
the growth of the wooden figure heads under
his father's rude , patient hands. Ho grew
up among the statues , though of mean , per
ishable wood What wonder , then , that the
ambition of his genius selected the strong
white marble for Its Interpreter ? He was
only a little boy when he took to correcting
his father's work , and when he was a lad of
17 he won the first of the four prize medals
awarded to him by the Danish Academy of
Arts. In 1796 the young sculptor went to
Italy , nnJ In March , 1797 , reached Home ;
here , with the exception of a visit to Copen
hagen In 1819 , and one In 1838-41 , he spent
his life until his final return to Denmark , two
ycjrs before his death.
The first few jcars In Italy Thorvaldsen's
works consisted mostly In copies from the
antique , but In 1800 ho modelled a Jason ,
which , however , he destroyed next year llut
from the ruins of the broken one arose a nuw
Jason , on ? of the masterpieces of art. It Is
Interesting to know that In po\orty and de
spair , Thorvaldsen was about to lea\e Home
forever and return home , when the English
man , Sir Walter Hope , came Into hla studlc
Just In time to purchase the Jason and savi
the young man from going on board the ship
Thorvaldsen died suddenly In 1844 , whlli
attending a performance at the Hoyal thcatoi
at Copenhagen , having previously bequeathed
to his natl\e town all his models and arl
treasures.
THE MUSEUM.
One of the chief points of Interest at thi
capital Is situated on the bank of the canal
adjacent to the now ruined castle of Chris
tlansborg. In front stretches a ralled-li
piece of ground , planted with trees am
shrubs. The building , erected by the cum
munlty of Copenhagen through subscription
was begun In 1839 and completed In 1848
under the direction of the architect Dlndes
boll. In Its appearance Is. expressed Its dea
tlnatlon , as the mausoleum of the grea
sculptor , the architectural style being bor
rowed In part from old Egyptian and Gro.l
ccpulchral buildings. The outward appear

with a large court In the center. Across on

a wrldo stone staircase. Framing these door

THORWALDSEN MODELS.
In the great vestibulenro placed t
models for the series of monuments Tlu
waldscn executed at various times. T
colossal statues of NIcholaus Copernicus a
Prince Joseph Ponlatowskl at Warsa
Schiller at Stuttgart. Gutenberg at Mali
Pope Plus VIII. In St. Peter's church
Rome , Maximilian I. , elector of Bavaria , a
Eugene , duke of Lechtenberg , at Munli
keep the name of the grea' Dane fresh
the memory of Europe.
These- works are all fine , but I do t
iy like them half co well as the smaller etatu
probably because , modelled for large op
spaces , they laso their effect In the crowd
hall However , ono cannot but admire the
espec'ally Maximilian and Ponlatowskl
horseback. I have never seen any lion
BO superbly modelled as these huge , prancl
creatures. Veins and muscles eeem to sli
through the marble skin.
Here are also como busts and a numl
of reliefs. Among these latter are I
models for the four reliefs that adorned 1
re portal of Chrlstlansborg , representing H
cules receiving the drink Of Immortal
from Hebe , Hygela. feeding the serpent
Aesculapius , Minerva endowing with a *
the man formed by Prometheus , and Neme
reading to Jupiter the deeds of men. Um
the celling Is the ] model for a beautl
frieze. The Triumphal'Entry of Alexam
the Great Into Babylon , which Is In I

In tha corridors. Hut , there are still ins
remaining , as the .atoye mentioned inoi

great pity , for I confess I cannot whc
enjoy a statue whtse' high llghta are

A MASTERPIECE.
But In spite of this objection I have
Joyed few pieces of ( statuary so greatly

lentlng John the Baptist preaching. T
labors under the disadvantage of being pla
In a narrow corridor not effectively light
but It can bear even tills. I have sti
gazing at the group as It appears In mar
over the entrance to Our Lidy's church ,
there It Is at too great a height to be ft
appreciated. I consider the John the B
list a far greater work than the fara
Chrlit It Is more living , more expressl
He la not represented as a calm , peace
saint , but as a mortal , a dreamer , a n
who suffers under the flre of the pinion t
fllla his life. He Hands there , strain
emaclaud yet muscular , his niggard f
with the big hollow eyes turned tow aril
heavacs , whither his meager right hi
points. He leans on a staff In the form of
a crosi. Ills long hair la tagled and un
kempt , hla ragged beard Is matted , he has
no garment save the hide of some wild beast
Ho preaches to the llitenlng people and hid
face glows with a prophetic light. It Is an
enthusiast , almost a fanatic , who sUnda
there , but above all It Is a human being.
It Is hard to withdraw one's eyes from the
figure. On both aides are figures and groups
In llitenlng attitudes , One old man sitting
on a rock la particularly fine , there la a
critical , thoughtful frown on his wrinkled
face. There Is a young boy with a sweet ,
attentive look on his child face , leaning
forward to catch the Inspiring words ; a
strong , bearded man , who eagerly drinks In
the sermon ; two Pharisees that scowl angrily
In a badled sort of way at the bold speaker ;
a beautiful young woman with a babe at her
knee , who listens with lifted head and parted
lips. It Is a group never to be forgotten.
Near-by Is the model for the Lion of
Lucerne , he\wi In colossal relief In the
side of a rock near Lucerne , In memory of
the Swiss fallen In the revolt at Paris ,
August 10 , 1792. The huge animal Is repre
sented stretched on the ground , bleeding ,
protecting with his dying body the shield
of France. It Is a noble Idea and grandly
carried out.
Par inferior to the Baptist group seems to
me the Christ and apostles that , hewn In
marble , adorn Our Lady's church. The
models , with those for the baptismal font and
several reliefs , lire placed by themselves In
a largo room at the museum. The Christ
stands with his arms outstretched , looking
down at the congregation. I do not like the
statue very well It seems to me there Is
too little soul In the face. It Is dignified
and regular , tnd very calm and gentle , but
It lacks Inspiration , It Is not the real Christ
What Is beautiful Is the Angel of Baptism.
Kneeling , It holds out the font In the shape
of a shell. The serenity that seems too un
broken In the face of the Christ fits per
fectly the sweet angel figure. H Is so pure
and spiritual.
In the first of the suites of small rooms
are two statues , Ganymede filling the cup ,
and presenting It filled They are very
beautiful , but It seems to me that most of
Thorvaldsen's youths are a little too
effeminate , too correctly classical , too per
fect. I enjoy so much looking at them ,
but retain no distinct characteristic I prefer
faces a little less lovely and more Individual
On the walls of all the rooms are different
reliefs and busts are placed In the corners
under the windows.
CUPID AND PSYCHE.
In the next room , seen ngalnst the dull
red background , Is a group , Cupid anil
Psyche reunited In heaven Affectionately
they stand , with arms interlaced , a picture
of complete happiness. But again 1 have
this objection that , excepting for the coiffure ,
It Is difficult to tell which Is the youth's
and which Is the maiden's head , so alike
are they In their Ideal beauty. One cannel
but marvel at the wonderful drapery Thor-
valdsen cut frqm the hard stone. From
the waist of the Psyche It falls In cllnglnj
folds one sees the rounding curves of hei
limbs through the soft stuff. It Is dlfllcul !
to comprehend that a chisel produced it.
Around on the wals ) are reliefs telling th (
story of the lovers , da'nty bits of pictures.
The three Graces In the third room wltt
two or three exceptions , each room contain !
only one statue or group I find somowha !
weak. They are very beautifully sculptured
but they sem a trifle watery compared will
the Hope , or Dancing Girl. It Is not tha
they are sensuous , nothing can be farthe ;
removed from all sensuality than Thorvald
sen's works , It Is hard to say Ju t what It Is
maybe it Is only a fancy. But neither thi
Graces nor the Venus reach my expectations
The Venus with the apple Is probably tin
most famous of all , but this too Impressei
mo as lacking fomehow the human element
But If any piece of sculpture Is perfect
absolutely perfect , It Is this Venus.
Thorvalden Is a master at picturing Cupldt
All around ono sees the love god In dlfferen
attitudes. In the same room as the Venu
are a series of reliefs and scattered througl
the building arc statues of the child Cupid
The Cupid with the lyre Is especially vcr ;
beautiful. It seems marvellous that th
strong hand that carved the great Jaso
could so daintily represent the sweetness c
childhood. But Thorvaldsen's genius wa
very versatile and very prolific.
Among the statues I most admire Is th
one of "Georglana Russell. " The ctiubb ;
naked baby figure seems to live , save fc
Its whiteness. The little face Is so swec
ami Innocent , looks out so trustfully at tb
world. I think It Is one of the loveliest c
Thorvaldsen's works. Likewise , I am fen
of a little dancing girl , a slim , frail crcatur
with dreamy , thoughtful eyes. She lach
the ripe beauty of the other women In th
galaxy ; she Is only a bud , a child beglnnln
to think the thoughts of a woman , but thei
Is something so simple and guileless , so p :
thetlc almost In the small , tbln face an
figure.It Is full so full of soul. I love
dearly , much more than the beautiful Graci
or the perfect Venus.
Two other statues that contain this san
element of simplicity are a dainty little Hel
with a cup poised In her hand and the Goi
doss of Hope. The Hebe Is very pretty ar
maidenly , only are her features a little col
Here one wonders again at the marvelou
clinging drapery that outline ! the body
softly. The Goddess of Hope ( from the n
clont Greek model ) Is also represented as
young maiden. In her right hand she holi
out a flower , while with the left she lifts h
draptry as she dances lightly out. There
a far away , happy smtlo on her lips , a pine
content In her vliage. It la very lovely !
WORLIM-AMED RELIEFS.
Here are the world-famous reliefs , Nig
with her children , Sleep and Death ; and D ;
Aurora with the Genius of Light. Bo
nro winged angels speeding through the a

babes , her own queenly head bowed lo
Her hair Is twined with popples , an owl fll
by her side. There Is rest and peace In t
drooping head. In the wonderful float ]
drapery. Aurora Is glorious In her tplrlt
vigor. Her outspread wings beat the air
she sweeps forward , strewing flowers , fi
lowed by the Genius of Light , a brig
cherub with his torch held aloft. Indescri
ably heavenly are the two angel figures.
Without a doubt , one of the very great (
Is the statue of Jason. Naked , with
helmet on his head and a lance on his shoi
der. he proudly carries on his arm t
golden fleece. His upper lip curls n trl
haughtily , there Is a consciousness of you
and vigor In the splendid , sinewy body ,
looks springy and elastic even In marble ,
the Jason Ii combined perfect vigor with pi
feet strength.
On the walls of this room are two supc
reliefs , Ilrlfcls led away by the heralds
Agamemnon , and Priam supplicating Achll
for the body of Hector. The despair
Achilles Is finely depicted. He almi
writhes In grief and rage , his hands clencl ;

small piece shows Achilles with the s\i \
amazon , Penthesllea. Her slender , dc
body Is slung across his knee as ho feels
the beating of her heart. His power
might contrasts sharply with her frag
weakness.
The Mars I do not like. He seems
coarse and brutish In his animal strong
. , and I can not rid myself of the Idea that

very low.
The Vulcan la majestic , and there Is
handsome young Mercury resting careles

at flrnt alght Itko It Thorvuldten kept It him
self , though afterward he made a copy of It
for her husband at hla request. In classical
drapery stands the tall woman , bit In
thought , one hind raited to her chin. It la
this hand especially that to cxcltea the gen
eral admiration. The more one gates at It ,
the more living does It become , until one
wondcra If It can bo stone ; muscles , velni ,

wondrous.
In a large room are two magnificent works ,
a lion couching , pruud , dlgnlfled , nnd Byron ,
the latter In marble nl Cambridge' . He Is
seated In a large chair , with Ms pen at
his lips and "Chllde Harold" In his hand.
It Is a n obi o portrait of the } flung poet ,
The Adonis U beautiful and graceful , with
an Indolent , careless expression. Hut for
neither this nor the Ganjmede feeding the
eagle do I care much. 1 prefer by far the
portrait itatuo of Prince Waldlmlr Potockl
There Is a vigorous energy In the figure that
both the classical joiiths lack.
WAH AND PEACE.
In the same room Is a relief Alexander
prompted by Thala to set on flro the palace
at Pert > epolls. When the sun shone through
the narrow window and touched the veined
marble It made the stirring martial picture
seem like life. There Is a warlike breath In
this relief that ivt one back to the ancient ,
cruel times.
The "Shepherd Boy" Is ono of my special
favorites. He is seated on a rock with his
dog at his side , looking dreamily far away
Ho IA so young and Innocent , and ho Is
building his castles In the clouds , thinking
the thoughts ami dreaming the dreams that
are halt the llfo of childhood Ono must
think of a blue summer day , with feathery
white clouds fleeing from the wind , with
green meadows and scattered flowers There
Is a sercno peace In the statue , an uncon
sciousness of self , a vogue dawn of thought
that makes ono hold one's breath nnJ gaze
In rapt silence.
The master , Thorvaldsen himself , stands
not far away. Ho Is clad In a working
blouse and leans ngalnst the unfinished statue
of the Goddeso of Hope. It Is a tall , pow
erful figure with a masslvo head overhung
with long locks of soft hair. When I first
looked on the face I thought It stern , but
soon I read the gentleness behind the firm
uoutli and the genial expression about the
eyes. What a pity the light of the eye Is
lost In sculpture , that It must ever be cold
and ilc.idl As It Is , ono can sec that the
JM wcro kind and serious , the eyes of a
an who , great himself , could Judge mildly
of others.
Among the multitude of busts Thorvaldsen
executed are those of the Danish minister ,
A. P. Bernstorff , Count von Moltke , Sir
Thomas Maltland , Louis I. of Uavarla ,
Napoleon I. , Sir Walter Scott , Lord Byron ,
Czar Alexander I. , the Danish kings , Fred
erick VI. Christian VIU. and Frederick VII. ,
the Danish poets , Adam Oehlenschbiger and
Ludwlg Holberg and Prince Clemens Met-
Urnlch , whoso handsome , energetic } oung
face strikes one forcibly.
In one treasured room are collccteJ In glass
cases all the first-class models of the statues ,
U seems very atrange to see the crude em
bodiment of the thought as the master first
conceived It. It brings one nearer to his
meaning , and ono conceives bis greatness
even more clearly through the rough sketches
than the most finished statues.
On the second are , besides some of his
worKa Thorvaldsen's collections of paintings
by contemporary artists , antiquities , coins
medals , gems , vases and a few of his casts
for the antique. Including the Apollo , Venus
dl Mcdlcl and Apolllno Hero arc likewise
his books , mostly on art and mythology , the
furniture of hla parlor , an old clock am
several busts and portraits of himself by
various artists. Among the pictures that fll
the rooms on one side of this story arc no
a few portraits of the sculptor , several from
his youth and early manhood being hardly
recognizable now , PO used Is one to think o
him as the whlto haired , old man. In one
picture we find htm In a Koman ostcrla
among merry brother artists. But tha
which Is considered the best Is the ono by
Horace Vernet representing him at work on
the bust of the latter. The blue eyes and
white hair of this picture are familiar to
all Danes through the medium of numberless
copies and photographs.
