General sir O*Moore i reach's appointment to suc- \u25a0aal Lord Kitchener as comraaiKicr in chief of Great Britain'B military forces in India i? meeting with a considerable amount of disapproval In mili- tary, a<j:nmb;trative and political circles, and is hardly likely to be rr-liFhed by Lord Kitchener hirn- saaT.li fact. It is an appointment that is ascribed \u25a0•\u25a0\u25a0.•-\u25a0 but to the Influence »nd pr«s<ure of Lord Morley. whose principal mili- tary adviser Pir O'Moore has been. .is military **eeretary at the India Office at Whitehall, ever eir;ce Lord Morley assumed charge of that depart- ment. True.

Hut he is •boui sixty-two years old. and, aside from a very .'.. at the \u25a0\u25a0 of one of the first •la** military districts in India, has never held lag important command in India or anywhere else; \u25a0at*:- . does he possess the administrative . ex- perience necessary to complete the wonderful and far-reaching work of organization which Lord Kitchener has inaugurated and brought well under *»:\u25a0'\u25a0 Tlttie is reason, indeed, to fear that General <"reagh. who has most of the qualities of Indian veterans, possesses likewise some of their most notable defects, that is to say. a disapproval of every reform and innovation of a military charac- ter.

Sir: There Is much condemnation for granting privileges to the saloons to keep open on Sunday and closing the Raines law hotels. Let me give you one side of th- open door. My husband was i bartender, and while he worked in a saloon he was fair enough. As soon as he went to work In a Raines law hotel his every effort was to get from under all responsibility. To provide for wife, home and children he Dccame a finished graduate in the vices of the place. The saloonkeeper tried to run his business on respectable lines, and so the op- portunity was not given which "the hotel" af- forded. He said that in order to meet expenses they had to cater to the immorality of the masses, ana he has never been the same. Life in "the hotel" appealed to him. I raised some slight objec- tions nine years ago which did not meet with his approval, and it has been a battle ever since with the Prime of Darkness, and I have known people to support the "graduate of the Raines law hotel" in his vlciousness against his home and children, who protest against the very existence of all drink- ing places in this city and every other city. Is that consistent? I trust the clergymen who are work- ing for the closing of the Raines law hotel may find support to help the good work along. EX-BARTENDER'S WIFE. New York, April 11. 1909. East Side Resident Believes Police and Magis- trates Could Stop Sunday Selling. To tbe Kdltor of The Tribune. Pir Your editorial entitled "Sui Ing" in to-dsy'a Tribune raises a serii is question In th» minds af your readers which is well worth i l.'ig by those who favor the MM of the Commit' t^e \u0084f Fourteen. Are the saloonkeepers of New York City law-abiding < itiz'-ns 0 Commissioner nitipham fays if I-* Impossible with his army of rw.di<-emen to enforce the excise law. »md In your editorial you stat*- that probably M pei \u25a0 \u25a0 ' <>t the satoons are open on Sundays, which, In other words, means that M pei cent of the aaloonkeep- r.,<; ,; f New fork disregard the i;t«, and and persistently violate the laws, thus putting «# elves in the f-»;m.- category with all otl \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0ittz'-i:^ who have no regard for i;n>. or order. The Raines liquor las law has its defei ts, ;<* all other preceding lawn h»\e i ;>d. but In the history of our i-v y has there ni-r been an excise law on the i -t.i r ute hooks that the saloonkeepers have not tno,i to evade ;m<i violate, nnd with police assistance oi Indifference have evaded or violated? is it th.i a fact that they are opposed to any and al framed for the regulation of th.' liquor traffic? Hv their own unlawful action- they have made their business a disreputable one la it right to concede more privileges to such a class of citizens who liav.- taken an unfair and a dishonest advantagi of those which they have already had? Have we any guarantee thai tbe Committee of Pourteena bill shall receive any bettei observance on the part of :he saloonkeepers or any better enforcement on the part of the police should IIever become a law? Aa a resident on the lower East Side for nearly thirty years, my observation has been that when the j>o- ii.-.. honestly try to enforce a law and the magia trates punish the offenders there is a quick step- ping Into line on the pan of those who violate tin !;<w. but when police are indifferent and magis- trates sympathetic the law is sur< to be a failure, a dead lettet. We might give many other reasons why the law Is not enforced us it should 1--. but enough has been written. The revoking of the li- censes of persistent offenders would certainly he a step In ihe right direction. In justice to the em- ployes of the saloonkeeper lei them have a daj off Sunday. MALCOLM R. BIRNIE. N. w. Fork, April 14 1909. SALOONKEEPERS LAWBREAKERS EHlJah R. Kennedy, an intimate friend of Mr. MacMonnles— their two families also being very in- timate—was unwilling to talk yesterday nbout th<» separation betweer Mr. MacMonnies and hia wife further than t > say that the reason assigned for the separation. Mr. MacMoanies's alleged Jealousy of his wife.= popularity is an artist, was pre- posterous and entiiely unfounded. Mr Kennedy also sßiri tiiat the statement in th« first dispatch reporting thia separation, that Mr. IfaclConniea "haf: recent'y ueen in America for th.- first time since his name became a great word In the realm of European sculpture," Is entirely in- correct. Since Mr. MacMonnles received the K^ld medal of the Salon for his statue of j. g. T Strana- han, standltig In Prospect Park, which award ram,> to him nearly twei.ty years ago, Mr. MacM< nnles must have been In the United States nt least ten times, and on pome of his visits he baa spent as l -nc a tim^ as tive months ii»' ww here only thla last winter, and be visits his native country a^ often as hi* finny engagements on his artistic work will permit him to. The statement in th<? dispatch that Mi. MacMonnlea 'pot his first chance" in Brooklyn and then "deserted to Fi is also entirely inaccurate. The Nathan Hale statue, which stands In the City Hall Park i" Man- hattan, was ordered and made before t!.- s stiana- lian statue, which wad Mr MacMonnies? first chance in Brooklyn, but :<* he bad never worked at hia art in this country the statement that he first worked here and then deserted to France la Incorrect Mr. MacMonnles showed talent for sculpture from his very earliest years. His first teacher was Au- gustus Baint-Gaudens. Finally Mr. Saint-Gaudens said: "Now I have aught you all I .-an. you must go to Paris," and II was this, and In no sense a desertion, that too), him to the French capital. His orders for work have been so many and so pressing that he has never had time to study his own com- fort and convenience, but he has always been in- tending to return to America to work, ami will doubtless ii \u25a0 so hefor.= many years. Th.-> suggestion that -'sine- the death of these two masters"— Saint-Gaudena and Whistler- "he has not done such brilliant work as before" is entirely erroneous, Mr. Kennedy said: "I am well aware of the very affectionate relations that *>xi.sterl be- tween Satnt-Gaudens and BtacMonniea until deal i separated them, and [ an also perfectly aware of the relations which existed between Whistler an i MacMonnles. Ihave visited Whistler and spent hours at his study with MacMonnles, but th» •\u25a0 ... Eestk>n that either one of the two named had any Influence upon his art, except as Mr. Salnt-Gaudens was his first teacher, and that theil death has had the least eff< whatever, is absolutely founded One effect of the death of Mr. Salnt-Gaudens la that some extremely desirable turtle commissions which would naturally have gone to Batoi Gaudens have, since his death, been given to Mr. MacMon- to. who la now at work upon them, one of them being for the Players. The statue of Gen< M^- Clellan In Washington wns t!i«> last Important work of Mr. MacMonnlea unveiled in this country, and it shows very much ;he r»ver«e of any de- terioration In his art. "Mr. MacMonnlea ha« «i this time commissions which would keep him at work several years If during that time he did not Ret another order. Among the chiff these commissions are \u25a0 foun- tain for the City Hal) Park In Sew York, a Kreat fountain for the city \u25a0\u25a0' Denver, which willbe one of th* most splendid works be has ever made: several mausoleums to be ri'*l •\u25a0 decorated with sculpture and at least two bronze statues of American states- men. Besides these ho Is carrying \u25a0*'.\u25a0•:;* for his re freshment purely artistic works of gre.-it interest." French Courts Separated Sculptor and Wife in November. Paris. April 15.-H v.as learned here to-day that the French courts, in November of last year. R.-anted a divorce between Frederick MacMonnies. the American sculptor, anji his wife, who was a MSI Mary FalTChUd. of New Haven. The two were married In this city September SB, 1888 It Is understood that the divorce was arra-.ne.i amicably and t-iat It was kept quiet in order to avoid gossip. Not even the two children of the couple are aware tl at their parents have legally separated. Mrs. MacMonnies was questioned on the matter this afternoon and said. "There was do scandal and there ha* been no recrimination on either side The partnership simply ceased Under tbe terms of the decree the children will spend half their time with me and half with their father. " Mrs. sfacMoanies, who is living with her mother, has taken a studio In Paris and is working in the Ix>uvre. making copies of paintings for the Boston Museum of Arts M. MacMonnies retains hi? Jiome and his studio at Glverny-Vernon, near Paris, where he engaged on a monumental fountain, or- dered by the City of Denver. Hi« mother is resid- ing with him. FREDERIC P. OLCOTT. Frederic P. Olcott died yesterday at Bernards- vtiie, N. J. He was sixty-nine years old. His father was Thomas W. Olcott. who was the presi- dent of the Mechanics and Farmers' Bank, of Albany, for many years. In 1865 Mr. Olcott came to this dty. where he went into the hanking busi- ness at No. 40 Broad street, with a cousin, forming tbe firm of F. P. & H. L. Olcott. In ISTS he founded the banking bouse of F. P. Olcott & Co.. at No. 45 Wail street, and remained there as a partner until ear i>~ He then withdrew from his busi- aess duties to assume the office of Controller, to which he had been appointed by Governor Lucius Robinson. Mr. Olcott retired permanently from business in 1905. owing to failing health. At the time of his retirement he was president of the Central Trust Company and a director In many railroads. What signifleth the praise spoken by royal lips or written by royal hands, and that stirred by grateful remembrance of royal stomachs well con- tent, If one is able md willingto work, but cant get a Job? That is the question which Eduard Werner, chef, inventor and painter of landscapes, is asking himself after being out of work for al- most a year, and not through failure to hunt for a means of making a living. Back in the early 90's Werner, who is a native of Copenhagen, came very close to royalty when he v.as employed as a chef for Prince Valdemar. the youngest son of the late King Christian IX, and in that capacity accompanied the prince when the lat- ter, as commander of a Danish cruiser, made a trip from the Baltic to the Black Sea. His cooking pleased the prince bo much that on the return to Copenhagen Werner was recommended for a place fn the royal household, and for two years and a half was one of the chosen eleven whom the King was fond of visiting and watching at their work. Very naturally, owing to his place in the palace at Copenhagen. Werner cooked soups, entrees and desserts for members of almost every royal family In Europe, and on one occasion his recipe for flap- jacks was responsible for making the Czar Alexan- der of Russia throw discretion to the winds and forget that the monarch had In his suite a cook who was specially engaged to see that no Nihilistic substances, sucn as bombs and prussic acid, were used to give hi^h seasoning to ragouts or caviar. That was one day in the Grlpskow. one of the larg- est forests in Denmark, -about thirty miles from Copenhagen, where members of the royal families of Denmark, Russia. England and Germany were out hunting. The Ciar, who had paired off with the King of England, then Prince of Wales, In the pursuit, drew away from the others in the chase, and was half famished when he and his companion came upon the Inspector's lodge, which had been set aside as a kitchen for the day. Werner was deftly turning the batter into the steaming cakes when the pair of hunters entered, and without fur- ther ado set to sampling them. When the Czar had finished a plateful he suddenly forgot that it was not bis own cook's concoctions he was devouring. and then with a laugn asked for another helping. The Prince of Wales made a good pacemaker, and when the rest of the party came up Werner couldn't produce the flapjacks fast enough. "Werner, on the death of his first wife sixteen years ago. came to this country and has a portfolio full of recmmendatlons from hotels, apartment houses and private families for which he has acted as chef. He holds a patent on an ice cream freezer, which Is so constructed as to make Ice cream by its own motion, but he is without means to manu- facture his Invention. His little apartment, at No. 14-' East 52<i street, is hung with landscapes In oils by himself. He Is a dapper and cheerful little man and has a clean record, as Is attested by the letter of recommendation from the chief marshal of the royal household at Copenhagen, as well as testimonials to his fathful service from his Ameri- can emp'oyers. What does the approval of either aristocratic or democratic stomachs matter, he is asking, if he cannot cook for others at a time when the dearth of good cooks is said to be a trying problem in domestic economy? Despite his vain search for work. Werner has been quietly helping others whose plight is wors- than his own. Only recently he heard of a case of an elderly couple, who were without food. One of them was blind and both were sick and In actual need of food, when Werner discovered them, because they were tfo ill to leave the house. He obtained a doctor's services and has sine* been supplying the couple with food and looking: out for all their wants, and It was through the grati- tude of these recipients of his kindness that hi* own unfortunate situation came to be known.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUXE, FRIDAY. APRIL 16, 1909. A MACMONNIES DIVORCE.} ME3IORIES, BUT NO JOB _ *•* WHY BERESFORD WENT Sir WlHiaii is regarded, not only at the Admir- alty at Whitehall, but also among naval experts s.t>rnadL as the ablest commander and as the clev- t rr*- and m" c t resourceful strategist of the British nsvy; Infinitely superior in this respect to the more triddy known Sir Charles. It was just because of this pre-eminence that it was considered in govern- rrient circles in London of the moht vital importance trat he rather than IVrvsford should have the pu- »sreme direction of the impending manoeuvres, upon which, as I have mentioned above, all the future rava i jvilicy of Great Britain will depend. That is th" -- . reason of the supersession of I^ord Charles. of which so much capital has been made by his frimes. r."f? which has betn ascribed by the enemies r4r 4 the administration to professional jealousy and io8K enmity of the First Sea Lord of the Admir- alty.

Grand Manceuvrcs to Decide Eng- land's Future Naval Policy. iCopyriKht. 13X-. by the F.rT.t-tvood Company.) Tpfn the verdict of Admiral Sir William May will Ctyend the decision of the English government as to whether It is necessary to increase the number cf those terribly costly warship* known as Dread- nouchts. There are a large number of naval ex- perts on both sides of the Atlantic who are by no xnear.s enthusiastic an the subject of this particu- lar type of vessel, and who condemn the policy of virtually embarking all the money available for rr.srltime defences in the construction of these aWsc. '- r ' '\u25a0\u25a0" -"xdusion of others lew powerful. They lafis: that Dreadnoughts are overrated, and are ver y vulnerable to attack from torpedo boat de- stroyers, especially at night. Sir William May, who has fast succeeded Lord Chtrles Beresftwd In command of the main fleet cf the rav>. a fleet which, In point of numbers. Is the largest and most powerful ever assembled under one command, will shortly engage In elaborate ma- noeuvres, in which the home squadrons, with Their Dreadnoughts, will represent the attacking force, while the defenders will be the various Channel and Atlantic squadrons, which have no Dreadnought? a s yet. but re particularly strong In fast and heav- Uy armored cruisers and in torpedo destroyers. it is upon :he result of these manoeuvres, which will t-o conducted \u25a0 \u25a0' the utmost secrecy, that the future policy of England in the matter of naval construction will depend, and it Is because of the vast importance of the Issue at stake that Lord Charles has been directed to haul down his flag and to turn over bis command to Admiral Sir Will- iam May. whose forces will be almost twice as large as those under Beresford. PREMIER STOLYPI.VS DOWNFALL. Mn reipn as Premier may be' said to have reached Its end. and his departure from St. Peters-^ trarg on lons leave of absence Is regarded as pre- lbnJnax: to his dismissal nr r^sijrnatlon. This Tim!s bmiWi mad by the bestowal upon him of the OnJfr of the White Eagle prior to his departure. Ir.desd. the Kiyf that the White Eaple should tave been conferred upon him. ratlier than either of Un ttro hlpher orders of St. Alexander Xev6kl. «T of =• Andrew, »lileli~ would have been more in km "R-Ith his rank as Prime Minister <>f th« vast Russian Empire. Is construed as an indication that he- no lonjrer enjoyß either the confidence or the favor of hi? sovereign. Further confirmation cf this is to be found in th» fact that although he Is fuppofed to h" the President r>f the Council of Wrist--- and the presiding officer of the Cabinet, j*tthe apj>ointrneiits of the three-new ministers, EESieiy, those of Genera! Suchoinllnoff, of .kjan- ciff^and of Ruchloff. were made by the Emperor \u25a0B-ithout eobsolUns with Stolvpln, who knew noth- icg about their nominations until \u25a0' lal an- nounc^m«-nt th«r«»of. He was fo an^rj' at this treatment that when the n^w Procurator General of the Holy Synod, whose position In the Cabinet is equivalent to that of Minister of Public Worship In other countries, prest-nted himself to pay the regulation visit on accession to office, he re- ceived his visitor in the tnost lilting manner; in fuch a way, lnd«--ed. as to render ministerial co- operation between th-i two a? colleagues In the came Cabinet a matter of extreme difficulty. People at court and In St. Petersburg society rejoic* over the downfall of Stolypin. For while they a'l pivo credit to his unquestioned honesty snd his 00-jraee. they bitterly resent the intolerable arrogance of his wife, who. especially during iii* latter portion of her husband's Premiership, ha* assume airs and praces that have excited the milled rMlcule and Indifrnation of all those with •»\u25a0>-• she was brought Into contact. It is doubt- ful, however, whether this has weighed very much In the Emperor's decision to pet rid of him, th*i \u25a0 \u25a0<-. <\u25a0•'-.\u25a0 must be sought in the administra- tive corruption and dishonef^y which have recently Veen unearthed, both in »•.

KITCHENER'S SUCCESSOR IN INDIA.

General sir O*Moore i reach's appointment to suc-\u25a0aal Lord Kitchener as comraaiKicr in chief ofGreat Britain'B military forces in India i? meeting

with a considerable amount of disapproval In mili-tary, a<j:nmb;trative and political circles, and ishardly likely to be rr-liFhed by Lord Kitchener hirn-saaT.li fact. It is an appointment that is ascribed\u25a0•\u25a0\u25a0.•-\u25a0 but to the Influence»nd pr«s<ure of Lord Morley. whose principal mili-tary adviser Pir O'Moore has been. .is military

**eeretary at the India Office at Whitehall, evereir;ce Lord Morley assumed charge of that depart-

ment.True. Sir O'Moore. like I>ord Kitchener, is an

Irishman, hailing from County Clare, and is a gal-

laat \u25a0.\u25a0«\u25a0•»-»:; »ho won his Victoria Cross under liOTdiio>^- during the last Afghan war.

\u25a0at*:- . does he possess the administrative .ex-perience necessary to complete the wonderful andfar-reaching work of organization which LordKitchener has inaugurated and brought well under*»:\u25a0'\u25a0

Tlttie is reason, indeed, to fear that General<"reagh. who has most of the qualities of Indianveterans, possesses likewise some of their mostnotable defects, that is to say. a disapproval ofevery reform and innovation of a military charac-ter. And while some cf the elderly and retiredprowlers at the various Srrvice clubs in London•*\u25a0» satisfied with l;is appointment, hoping that it

means a reversal «o old-fashioned ways, it Is sig-

nificant that most otlic»-rs on th«» active list, espe-

cially thobe of the up-to-date Kitchener school, de-I'lore the nomination, which they ascribe to Lordllorlcy and to his refusal to listen to any adviceor to consider any argument excepting his own.

MUSICAL NOTES.

FROM AN EX-BARTENDER'S WIFE

To the Ivlitorof The Tribune.Sir: There Is much condemnation for granting

privileges to the saloons to keep open on Sunday

and closing the Raines law hotels. Let me giveyou one side of th- open door. My husband was ibartender, and while he worked in a saloon he wasfair enough. As soon as he went to work In aRaines law hotel his every effort was to get from

under all responsibility. To provide for wife, homeand children he Dccame a finished graduate in the

vices of the place. The saloonkeeper tried to runhis business on respectable lines, and so the op-portunity was not given which "the hotel" af-

forded. He said that in order to meet expenses

they had to cater to the immorality of the masses,

ana he has never been the same. Life in "the

hotel" appealed to him. I raised some slight objec-tions nine years ago which did not meet with his

approval, and it has been a battle ever since withthe Prime of Darkness, and I have known people

to support the "graduate of the Raines law hotel"in his vlciousness against his home and children,

who protest against the very existence of all drink-ing places in this city and every other city. Is thatconsistent? I trust the clergymen who are work-ing for the closing of the Raines law hotel may

find support to help the good work along.EX-BARTENDER'S WIFE.

East Side Resident Believes Police and Magis-

trates Could Stop Sunday Selling.To tbe Kdltor of The Tribune.

Pir Your editorial entitled "Sui Ing" into-dsy'a Tribune raises a serii is question In th»

minds af your readers which is well worth il.'ig by those who favor the MM of the Commit't^e \u0084f Fourteen. Are the saloonkeepers of NewYork City law-abiding < itiz'-ns 0 Commissionernitipham fays if I-* Impossible with his army ofrw.di<-emen to enforce the excise law. »md In your

editorial you stat*- that probably M pei \u25a0\u25a0

'<>t the

satoons are open on Sundays, which, In otherwords, means that M pei cent of the aaloonkeep-r.,<; ,;f New fork disregard the i;t«, and •and persistently violate the laws, thus putting

«# elves in the f-»;m.- category with all otl \u25a0

\u25a0 \u25a0ittz'-i:^ who have no regard for i;n>. or order. TheRaines liquor las law has its defei ts, ;<* all otherpreceding lawn h»\e i;>d. but In the history of our

i-v y has there ni-r been an excise law on the i-t.i r

ute hooks that the saloonkeepers have not tno,i toevade ;m<i violate, nnd with police assistance oi

Indifference have evaded or violated? is it th.i a

fact that they are opposed to any and alframed for the regulation of th.' liquor traffic? Hv

their own unlawful action- they have made theirbusiness a disreputable one la it right to concedemore privileges to such a class of citizens who

liav.- taken an unfair and a dishonest advantagi ofthose which they have already had? Have we anyguarantee thai tbe Committee of Pourteena bill

shall receive any bettei observance on the part of

:he saloonkeepers or any better enforcement on thepart of the police should IIever become a law? Aaa resident on the lower East Side for nearly thirty

years, my observation has been that when the j>o-

ii.-.. honestly try to enforce a law and the magia

trates punish the offenders there is a quick step-

ping Into line on the pan of those who violate

tin !;<w. but when police are indifferent and magis-

trates sympathetic the law is sur< to be a failure,

a dead lettet. We might give many other reasonswhy the law Is not enforced us it should 1--. butenough has been written. The revoking of the li-censes of persistent offenders would certainly he astep In ihe right direction. In justice to the em-ployes of the saloonkeeper lei them have a daj off„Sunday. MALCOLM R.

SALOONKEEPERS LAWBREAKERS

EHlJah R. Kennedy, an intimate friend of Mr.MacMonnles— their two families also being very in-timate—was unwilling to talk yesterday nbout th<»separation betweer Mr. MacMonnies and hia wifefurther than t > say that the reason assigned for

the separation. Mr. MacMoanies's alleged Jealousy

of his wife.= popularity is an artist, was pre-posterous and entiiely unfounded.

Mr Kennedy also sßiri tiiat the statement in th«first dispatch reporting thia separation, that Mr.IfaclConniea "haf: recent'y ueen in America for th.-

first time since his name became a great word Inthe realm of European sculpture," Is entirely in-

correct. Since Mr. MacMonnles received the K^ldmedal of the Salon for his statue of j. g. T Strana-han, standltig In Prospect Park, which award ram,>

to him nearly twei.ty years ago, Mr. MacM< nnlesmust have been In the United States nt least tentimes, and on pome of his visits he baa spent asl-nc a tim^ as tive months ii»' ww here only thlalast winter, and be visits his native country a^

often as hi* finny engagements on his artisticwork will permit him to. The statement in th<?

dispatch that Mi. MacMonnlea 'pot his first

chance" in Brooklyn and then "deserted to Fiis also entirely inaccurate. The Nathan Halestatue, which stands In the City Hall Park i"Man-hattan, was ordered and made before t!.-s stiana-

lian statue, which wad Mr MacMonnies? first

chance in Brooklyn, but :<* he bad never workedat hia art in this country the statement that he

first worked here and then deserted to France laIncorrect

Mr. MacMonnles showed talent for sculpture fromhis very earliest years. His first teacher was Au-

gustus Baint-Gaudens. Finally Mr. Saint-Gaudenssaid: "Now Ihave aught you all I.-an. you mustgo to Paris," and IIwas this, and In no sense a

desertion, that too), him to the French capital. Hisorders for work have been so many and so pressingthat he has never had time to study his own com-fort and convenience, but he has always been in-

tending to return to America to work, ami willdoubtless ii \u25a0 so hefor.= many years.

Th.-> suggestion that -'sine- the death of these twomasters"— Saint-Gaudena and Whistler- "he has not

done such brilliant work as before" is entirelyerroneous, Mr. Kennedy said: "Iam well awareof the very affectionate relations that *>xi.sterl be-tween Satnt-Gaudens and BtacMonniea until deal iseparated them, and [ an also perfectly aware ofthe relations which existed between Whistler an iMacMonnles. Ihave visited Whistler and spenthours at his study with MacMonnles, but th» •\u25a0 ...Eestk>n that either one of the two named had any

Influence upon his art, except as Mr. Salnt-Gaudenswas his first teacher, and that theil death has hadthe least eff< whatever, is absolutely foundedOne effect of the death of Mr. Salnt-Gaudens lathat some extremely desirable turtle commissionswhich would naturally have gone to Batoi Gaudenshave, since his death, been given to Mr. MacMon-

to. who la now at work upon them, one of thembeing for the Players. The statue of Gen< M^-Clellan In Washington wns t!i«> last Importantwork of Mr. MacMonnlea unveiled in this country,

and it shows very much ;he r»ver«e of any de-terioration In his art.

"Mr. MacMonnlea ha« «i this time commissionswhich would keep him at work several years Ifduring that time he did not Ret another order.Among the chiff these commissions are \u25a0 foun-tain for the City Hal) Park In Sew York, a Kreatfountain for the city \u25a0\u25a0' Denver, which willbe one ofth* most splendid works be has ever made: severalmausoleums to be ri'*l •\u25a0 decorated with sculpture

and at least two bronze statues of American states-

men. Besides these ho Is carrying \u25a0*'.\u25a0•:;* for his refreshment purely artistic works of gre.-it interest."

French Courts Separated Sculptor

and Wife in November.Paris. April 15.-H v.as learned here to-day that

the French courts, in November of last year.

R.-anted a divorce between Frederick MacMonnies.the American sculptor, anji his wife, who was aMSI Mary FalTChUd. of New Haven. The two were

married In this city September SB, 1888It Is understood that the divorce was arra-.ne.i

amicably and t-iat It was kept quiet in order toavoid gossip. Not even the two children of the

couple are aware tlat their parents have legallyseparated.

Mrs. MacMonnies was questioned on the matterthis afternoon and said. "There was do scandal

and there ha* been no recrimination on either sideThe partnership simply ceased Under tbe terms

of the decree the children will spend half theirtime with me and half with their father.

"

Mrs. sfacMoanies, who is living with her mother,

has taken a studio In Paris and is working in the

Ix>uvre. making copies of paintings for the BostonMuseum of Arts M. MacMonnies retains hi? Jiomeand his studio at Glverny-Vernon, near Paris,

where he l« engaged on a monumental fountain, or-dered by the City of Denver. Hi« mother is resid-ing with him.

FREDERIC P. OLCOTT.Frederic P. Olcott died yesterday at Bernards-

vtiie, N. J. He was sixty-nine years old. His

father was Thomas W. Olcott. who was the presi-

dent of the Mechanics and Farmers' Bank, ofAlbany, for many years. In 1865 Mr. Olcott cameto this dty. where he went into the hanking busi-

ness at No. 40 Broad street, with a cousin, forming

tbe firm of F. P. &H. L. Olcott. In ISTS he foundedthe banking bouse of F. P. Olcott & Co.. at No. 45

Wail street, and remained there as a partner until

ear i>~ He then withdrew from his busi-

aess duties to assume the office of Controller, to

which he had been appointed by Governor Lucius

Robinson. Mr. Olcott retired permanently from

business in 1905. owing to failing health. At the

time of his retirement he was president of theCentral Trust Company and a director In many

railroads.

What signifleth the praise spoken by royal lips

or written by royal hands, and that stirred by

grateful remembrance of royal stomachs well con-tent, If one is able md willingto work, but cant

get a Job? That is the question which EduardWerner, chef, inventor and painter of landscapes,

is asking himself after being out of work for al-

most a year, and not through failure to hunt for ameans of making a living.

Back in the early 90's Werner, who is a native ofCopenhagen, came very close to royalty when hev.as employed as a chef for Prince Valdemar. theyoungest son of the late King Christian IX,and inthat capacity accompanied the prince when the lat-ter, as commander of a Danish cruiser, made a trip

from the Baltic to the Black Sea. His cooking

pleased the prince bo much that on the return to

Copenhagen Werner was recommended for a place

fn the royal household, and for two years and ahalf was one of the chosen eleven whom the King

was fond of visiting and watching at their work.Very naturally, owing to his place in the palace

at Copenhagen. Werner cooked soups, entrees and

desserts for members of almost every royal family

In Europe, and on one occasion his recipe for flap-

jacks was responsible for making the Czar Alexan-der of Russia throw discretion to the winds andforget that the monarch had In his suite a cook

who was specially engaged to see that no Nihilisticsubstances, sucn as bombs and prussic acid, wereused to give hi^h seasoning to ragouts or caviar.That was one day in the Grlpskow. one of the larg-

est forests in Denmark, -about thirty miles from

Copenhagen, where members of the royal familiesof Denmark, Russia. England and Germany wereout hunting. The Ciar, who had paired off with

the King of England, then Prince of Wales, In thepursuit, drew away from the others in the chase,

and was half famished when he and his companion

came upon the Inspector's lodge, which had been

set aside as a kitchen for the day. Werner wasdeftly turning the batter into the steaming cakeswhen the pair of hunters entered, and without fur-ther ado set to sampling them. When the Czar hadfinished a plateful he suddenly forgot that it wasnot bis own cook's concoctions he was devouring.

and then with a laugn asked for another helping.

The Prince of Wales made a good pacemaker, andwhen the rest of the party came up Werner couldn'tproduce the flapjacks fast enough.

"Werner, on the death of his first wife sixteenyears ago. came to this country and has a portfoliofull of recmmendatlons from hotels, apartmenthouses and private families for which he has actedas chef. He holds a patent on an ice cream freezer,

which Is so constructed as to make Ice cream by

its own motion, but he is without means to manu-facture his Invention. His little apartment, at No.

14-' East 52<i street, is hung with landscapes In oilsby himself. He Is a dapper and cheerful little manand has a clean record, as Is attested by the letter

of recommendation from the chief marshal of

the royal household at Copenhagen, as well astestimonials to his fathful service from his Ameri-

can emp'oyers. What does the approval of eitheraristocratic or democratic stomachs matter, he isasking, if he cannot cook for others at a timewhen the dearth of good cooks is said to be atrying problem in domestic economy?

Despite his vain search for work. Werner has

been quietly helping others whose plight is wors-

than his own. Only recently he heard of a case of

an elderly couple, who were without food. One

of them was blind and both were sick and In

WHY BERESFORD WENT

Sir WlHiaii is regarded, not only at the Admir-alty at Whitehall, but also among naval experts

s.t>rnadL as the ablest commander and as the clev-t rr*-and m"c t resourceful strategist of the Britishnsvy; Infinitely superior in this respect to the moretriddy known Sir Charles. Itwas just because ofthis pre-eminence that it was considered in govern-

rrient circles in London of the moht vital importance

trat he rather than IVrvsford should have the pu-

»sreme direction of the impending manoeuvres, upon

which, as Ihave mentioned above, all the futureravaijvilicyof Great Britain will depend. That isth"

Grand Manceuvrcs to Decide Eng-

land's Future Naval Policy.iCopyriKht. 13X-. by the F.rT.t-tvood Company.)

Tpfn the verdict of Admiral Sir William May willCtyend the decision of the English government as

to whether It is necessary to increase the numbercf those terribly costly warship* known as Dread-

nouchts. There are a large number of naval ex-perts on both sides of the Atlantic who are by noxnear.s enthusiastic an the subject of this particu-

lar type of vessel, and who condemn the policy ofvirtually embarking all the money available forrr.srltime defences in the construction of these

aWsc. '-r' '\u25a0\u25a0" -"xdusion of others lew powerful. They

lafis: that Dreadnoughts are overrated, and arevery vulnerable to attack from torpedo boat de-stroyers, especially at night.

Sir William May, who has fast succeeded LordChtrles Beresftwd In command of the main fleetcf the rav>. a fleet which, In point of numbers. Is

the largest and most powerful ever assembled under

one command, will shortly engage In elaborate ma-noeuvres, in which the home squadrons, with TheirDreadnoughts, will represent the attacking force,

while the defenders willbe the various Channel andAtlantic squadrons, which have no Dreadnought?

as yet. but re particularly strong In fast and heav-Uy armored cruisers and in torpedo destroyers. it

is upon :he result of these manoeuvres, which will

t-o conducted \u25a0\u25a0' the utmost secrecy, that the

future policy of England in the matter of naval

construction will depend, and it Is because of thevast importance of the Issue at stake that LordCharles has been directed to haul down his flag

and to turn over bis command to Admiral Sir Will-iam May. whose forces will be almost twice aslarge as those under Beresford.

PREMIER STOLYPI.VS DOWNFALL.Mn reipn as Premier may be' said to have
