sold at 10 o'clock Wednesday.
About the most successful and profit
able undertaking that has been carried

the fair held by the ladies of the M E.

fifteen cents apeice or two fora quarter.
The ladies are to be congratulated for
their Npleudid and successful effort.

STUDENTS’ FRIEND.
* DEALER IN COLORS IN THE LATIN
QUARTER OF PARIS.
Many ArtlnU Who Ilavt* “Arih(*d * Owe
Much to M. Koinet'll Lm« of Art uud
BenrvolemcThe Fopulur *• upper* til vrn
In 111* Little Shop.
If an art student of the Latin Quarter
knows not M. Foinet, that student is
but a humble creature, pitifully new to
the republic of painters. And who is
Foinet? Ho lias a little shop in an an
cient winding street of the old quarter,
the line Notre Dame de Champs, and
there keeps colors for the accommoda
tion of impecunious painters. It is a lit
tle shop truly, with a bandbox of a sallo
a manger just behind, tho miimto salon
and living rooms above, hut many a
oelcbrity laid tho foundation for his
fame in tho pigments cheerily furnished
by Foinet. Now 08, good nature and
the wholesome reflection of his benovo
lenoe from the fancies of a thousand
friends have kept this marchand do
oonleurs to the appearanco of 40. His
yonthfulness remarked, "Ah,” he says,
with a twinkle of his kindly blue eyes,
“it keeps one in good color to deal in
good colors!” As bo deals only in the
best of colors, "those fit for the making
of masterpieces," it is quite in keeping
that he should have the rosy freshness
that reddish hair and mustache comple
ment, and which seem to belong only to
the glow of vigor still in flower.
“Having had twoscore years of ex
perience in the trade that is so closely
akin to urt, Foinet lias more the charac
terof an artist than of a tradesman, and
a glance around the walls of his costly
establishment betrays who are his
friends among those who have "ar
rived.” Here are pieces by Dataille, by
Bonnat, by Jean Paul Laurens, by Ca
roius-uurun, by uazin,Dyueri Members,
by Chretien, by Puul ,Stuck, by Yongind
(whoso littlo pieces have sold for as
much us 8,000 and 4,000 fruncs each
since his death), tlin original of Frago
nard’s “La Balaneoire, ” evidences
enough of Foinet’s intimate relations
with artists who, famous afterward,
have been indebted to the man (if colors
for many a sustaining kindness.
A veritable patron, Mieccnus of points,
it is necessary that Foinet bo well to do,
and well to do bo is, and with tho moans
to gratify his benevolence ho has also
the tasto to minister comfort to tbo ro
flnod appetite. Foinet’s littlo suppers in
the shop uro as celebrated as Foinet him
self, and to be bidden to one of them is
a mark of distinction—an honor tbo
ambitious youth covets, a conrtesy tho
most successful esteems. The suppers
are served in tho shop, and wines of
choice vintage, served in bottles crusted
with cellar mold, aro so liberally dis
pensed thut sobriety at tbo end of tho
evening is accounted an insult to the
host. Bacchus is the presiding deity
ever, and when his votaries rovolvo into
tho salon where coffee is poured it is not
permitted that one of them bo able per
fectly to doclaro how many candies aro
burning. Yet woo to the culprit who
has so weak a head that be riots in bis
cups. Foinet values him and his pros
pects not a jot. Men who have it in them
to “arrive’’ will not slander good wino
by playing tho fool under it, is Foinet’s
opinion.
If a carefully watched young painter
snddonly gets well hang or captures
somewhere a medal, the color merchant,
radiant over the achievement, gives one
of these notable sappers in honor of bis
protege, and the result is much tho same
as when Beau Brummel made a man
by taking his arm for a walk in the
Mall. Tho supper is tbo confession of
faith—Foinot’s intimation that he be
lieves tbo painter has, to ail intents and
purposes, “arrived,” thonghhe says one
requires 15 years in which really “to
arrive. ” What a phraso that is! How
significant! And what avast force it
has in tho French world of art and let
irioi mi jiuuivi). xtuui^nercumpn
merit may bo spoken by master of pupil.
“Ho has arrived.” The crown is on bis
head. And so Foinet, who has seen so
maDymen "arrive” and knows by a sort
of masterly intuition who is likely to
“arrive,” has that superb patience uud
that unwavering confidence which are
necessary to make either u great genius
or a noble creditor.
Let any student with talent only as a
grain of mustard seed and with it hon
est perseverance go to Foinet, and the
ruby faced patron will trust him till the
light goes out of the moon or Hoods into
the painter’s atelier. Indeed, Foinet is
as little in love with a sensitive debtor
as lie is with a too temperate banqueter.
He it understood that more than one
art student in the tfuartier Latin would
find it impossible to pursue his or her
atude s were it hot for the philanthropic

»ARON BURR’S FARMHOUSE.
| ftif HnlldinR, Which I* Over • Outnry
01.1, Still Standing.
On the curuer of Hudson and C.i .rl
ton street* is a frame building which,
tc a critical eye, wonbl seem to lie
tumbling down, or rather would ap
parently be if it were not h I'l up by
the adjoining building. The window
frames, which once were square, are
quite out of plumb, dropping downward
on the south side. The ceilings are low
on every floor, and on the Hudson street
front the first floor, which is a little
above the sidewalk and reached by a
few steps, bus been transformed into a
couple of small stores, while the en
trance to the upper floors is gained
through a door on Charlton street. An
extension has been erected on this side
to the main building so us to cover the
lot.
The building was formerly the farm
house of Aaron Burr and was located
on the top of Richmond hill, through
which Varick street was cut. When
these streets were laid out, the old
farmhouse was brought down to the
mad, which is now Hudson street, and
placed on a vacant lot, then and uow at
the corner of Charlton street. Opposite
to it was placed another frame house,
which had been removed ufter the great
fires of 1833 and 1845, from Chambers
street, where it was known as the “Old
Brown Jug.” This removal had been
caused by the extension of the fire lim
its in the lower portion of the city. A
few years ago the “Old Brown Jug”
building was condemned and torn down.
In its place a brink structure has' been
erected. But so far the old Burr house
has been spared, for, although it is out
of plumb, the building was so strongly
constructed that there is little danger of
its fulling.
.r or many years ino oia nouse was oc
cupied by au old time “leather head
watchman,” who, after his retirement
from thut service, employed his time in
making leather traveling trunks, which
ho sold on this corner, occupying the
upper floors with his family. At his
death, a few years ago, the fumily, like
many of those who formerly resided in
Greenwich village, removed to the up
per part of the city, and the building
has since ceased to he inhabited by one
fumily.—New York Mail and Express.
GOOD COPS AS EASY MARKS.
A Retired flunko Man’* Idea of the Valoa
of Regularity to the Crook.
An old time crook stood on a Broad
way corner, in the Tenderloin district,
lute one night recently, watching a
young policeman trying the store doors.
The policeman did tho work with great
onro and regularity.
“That's u careful copper,” the crook
volunteered, addressing a man who was
standing a few feet away.
“Yes,” repliod the other. “Evidently
ho wants to gain tho good opinion of his
superiors. ”
Tho old time crook langbed.
“It would surprise you,” ho contin
ued, “wouldn’t it, to bear that that sort
of a careful oop is a dead easy mark for
thieves?”
“I don’t see how,” returned the citi
zen.
“Easy enough,” retorted the crook.
"It’s your careful copper that can bo
easily spotted. Tho man who is going
to do a job knows just where he will be
on his post at a certain time and can
figure ont just how long the coast will
be clear and the job can bo carried on.
The careful oop goes at his work just
like clockwork. Now, with what some
persons would call a bad cop it’s differ
ent. The crooks are afraid of these
bad cops, the fly fellows that take big
chances and stay off post when the
roundsman isn’t around. They can
never tell just where a bad cop is or
when he will jump out and catch them
at their job. See? There is no known
system of keeping track of ’em, becauso
they don’t do business themselves by
any system, those bad cops don’t.”
Then the old time crook walked into
a saloon and got a drink, leaving the
citizen on the corner wondering. Tho
citizen learned the identity of the crook
when ho narruted the incident later to
the proprietor of the same saloon. Tho
fellow was a retired bunko man.—New
York Sun.
Emigration From Sweden.
Swedish emigration is slowly increas
ing. The total number of emigrants for
tho three-quarters of the year is 11,618.
In 1895 the emigration was 10,781, and
in 1891, 7,047, against 80,000 during the
years 1893, end 1893 respectively. In
oonnmion with tlie Swedish emigration
to the I'uited State* the report of the
Swedish postmaster g -m-ral, just pub
li.dn-d, is interesting. For the year 1896
$1,31 l,U3o was received in money orders
from the I'uited Mates, while $377,810
Wits s. ot from Sweden, leaving a bal
ance in favor of Sweden of $1,034,610.
Probably an equal amount was sent to
Sweden through the banks and emigrant
agencies.
