THEY LEFT NO PORTRAITS. Many of the Famous Figures and Ha roea of Colonial and Revolutionary Timet Are as Blanks to Us 80 Far as Their Personal Appearance Is .Concerned. In the search Tor a portrait or Thom as Wlllvtt. the first mayor of New York, the committee from the City club visited nearly every print dealer in the city In nddltlon to scores of pri vate collectors of Americana. Hut there was no portrait to be found. Any one who has ever attempted to niako a collectlou of the pictures of the big men of early New York soon realizes that there are tminy blanks. For Instance, of tho four Dutch gov ernors Peter Stuyvessnt Is tho only one of whom we have a correct por trait. Of Peter .Minuet. William Klcft and Woutcr van Twlller there Is abso lutely nothing accurate, although vari ous caricatures have appeared from time to time. The same Is true of n still more emi nent New Yorker. William Bradford the first printer, who founded In 172." the New York Ouzette, which was the flrHt newspaper printed in the prov ince. Bradford was so prominent a man and so active for years, both in Philadelphia as well as In New York, that It Is rather surprising not to have something worthy of being called a true portrait. If there was, perhaps his features might be on the tablet erected on the site of bis printing of live, now of the Cotton Exchange, at Hanover stpiare. The lack of an authentic portrait of Nathan little, tho martyr spy of the Revolution. Is somewhat better known. although the sculptors MncMonnIea. Partridge and others have not al lowed this to restrain them from de plrtlig the features of the young sol dier In stone or bronze. Of Colonel ICthan -Allen there Is no known ior- trait, and the same Is true of the doughty warrior, fSenernl Nicholas Herkimer. One of the heroes of Bunker hill, Colonel RIJiard (Jrldley. has left no portrait. He was the artillerist and engineer who bttjlt the fortlllcntlons the night before the battle. Other prominent Revolutionary fighters ot whom no pictures exist are Colonel William Ledyard. the defender of New London, who was killed by a British otllcer when I.edyard surrendered the fort General Thomas Con wiry, leader of the notorious cabal to depose Wash ington from the command of the army In 1777; Colonel Seth Warner, who was prominent In the attacks on TIconde roga and Crown point and In the bat tle of Bennington; General Seth Pom- eror or Massachusetts, and General Samuel lloldeu Parsons, one of the board which tried Major Andre and wns appointed by Washington as the tlrst Judge of the northwest territory. No accurate portraits exist of two of the flfty-slx signers of the Declaration of Independence. John Morton of Penn sylvania and John Hart of New Jer sey, although a portrait which Is said to be that of Hart hangs in Independ ence hall in Philadelphia and Is said to have been painted from a miniature. There Is nothing extant of the fa ther of George Washington. Augustine Washington, nor have any portraits been discovered of Colonel Ball, fa ther of Mary Washington, mother of the general, or of John Dandrldge. fa ther of Washington's wife. Martha Washington. A portrait which a great many col lectors of old New York material would give a good deal to obtain is that of Samuel Frounces, the West In dian tavern keeper, whose best known house was the old Fruunces' tavern. now owned by the Sons of the Revolu tion, restored since they purchased It a few years ago to Its original condi tio:!. It Is on lower Broad street, ou tho corner of Pearl street, and the famous long room lu which Washing ton took farewell of his otllcers has NO SLUMS IN HEW YORK. Verdict of an Expert After a 8earch Through the City, I have made an amazing discovery. It Is the result of three days and nights of going to and fro in New York sometimes alone and sometimes with a wise but not cynical detective. And the amazing and dlscoucerlng dis covery Is this: There nre no slums In New York. You cuu tlnd crlmo and criminals; you can tlnd vice, poverty, drunken ness, disease, but you cannot find a slum such slums ns blacken and fester In Antwerp, Genoa, Naples, Paris. London and many another old world city. The reason is that you cannot have a slum without tilth, and -New York to a clean city. Neither crime nor poverty nor crowds make a slum. You must have filth as well, and that is what New York hasn't got. I looked for It east and west and north, from river front to river front. Everywhere, anywhere, were crime, vice, mean poverty. Everywhere j thieves, rogues, outcasts, men and wo men isolated rrom tueir Kinu uy sin or mere suffering, but no slums. Dirt, of course. Is relative, but the tenements even the old nests of low houses lined with Ore escapes were habitable human dwelling places. And I the night going detective declared he could show me nothing worse. 1 waut id to see tho fetid caves whero wretch cdncs3 lay moaning 011 garbago heaps, the windy garrets whero It starved, and there were no fetid caves. , In the old streets and the dingy courts of Paris you' can still And hun dreds of them; you bnvo but to walk peerlngly through tho street of tho Three Gates or the street oftbo Iron Pot; you have but to go Into the suburbs that Ho outside tho fortifica tions for year by year tho centrifugal force that stirs In every great ag glomeration of human atoms has thrown Parisian beggardom Into that dreary circumference. But lu the washed and lighted un derworld of New York there are no slums. There Is not one slum that half deserves the name. Wretched ness all you please; hunger lu tho streets and ou the housetops. It may be, but none of those gangrened holes of tilth without which no real slum can exist I speak almost with tho decision of mi expert, for I spent many years prowllngly investigating the slums that rot and blacken the surface of Europe from Moscow to Lisbon. 1 Vance Thompson in New York Suu.

Monarchies That Practically 8prang Into Being Overnight. Prior to Jan. 18, 1871, the German empire, as we know It today, bad no 1 existence. Instead It was a Juniblo of kingdoms, states, duchies, grand duchies and principalities, all Joined together by n like language and com mon political aspirations, it Is true, but otherwise tpjlto Beparatoand distinct Then came tho historic ceremony in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Par is had Just been captured by King William of Prussia, and It was held to bo a fitting timo and place to proclaim him the tlrst German emperor. Never since the dawu of history was an em pire boru more dramatically. By a strange Irony of fate, too, Its j birth took place amid the ruins of tho French empire. Itself tho creation of a day, or, rather, to bo strictly accurate, j of a night. France went to bed on tho . evening of Dec. 1, 1851, a republic. When It awoke next morning It was ! an empire. During the hours of dark ness Paris had been occupied by troops, and tho prlnco-prcsldcnt had become Napoleon III. Equally sudden und almost as sensa tional lu its way was the birth of tho modern Greek empire. After tho yoko of the Turks had been thrown off In the war of Independence the country became a republic. But the people soon tired of that democratic form of government and promptly proceeded to assassinate their first and only pres ident. Then they met together, elect ed a king and settled themselves down to bo ruled by him In a quite orderly and contented fashion.
