ART MATTERS.
MIR. POwclrs Painting OF Perry ut the
Battle OF Lake Erie.

| MIR. POwclPs Painting OF Perry nt the
! Battle OF Lake Erie.
II is known that Congress appropriated s25, ,Oot
for a painting OF that great historical event-the
naval battle on Lake Erie-during the war of 1912,
and that Mr.. w. II. Powell was the artist engaged
to do the work. Mr.. Powell has been over three
years earnestly and steadily employed the paint
ing and had spent great deal Of time previously
in collecting facts portraits and materials to make
this faithful historical work. The picture
covers the large area OF thirty feet by
twenty, on canvas woven in Holland ex-
pressy for the artist. Though not finished
1t is so far advanced to be ready for removal to
Washington and to be placed in the panel assigned
to 1t over the broad stairs OF the Senate Chamber
at the Capitol When placed there Mr.. Powell
will give 1t the finishing touches. Before removing
1t to washington the artist invited gentlemen Of
the press and some others to view the picture at
the Twentysec0nd Regiment Armory, Fourteenth
street, which Is the place Mr.. Powell made his
studio for this particular work.
that Of grandeur Both the colossal proportions and
the event portrayed combine to give this impress
sion. Then one Is impressed with the suitabeness
OF the picture to the place for which 1t is in
tended-the Capitol of the republic. The first object
the eye rests upon is the heroic American comman-
der, Perry standing in the boat which has just left
the disabled flagship, Lawrence, and pointing to
the Niagara. to which he had resolved to transfer
his flag, and which he Is determined to reach,
though the shot and shell OF the enemy falling
round him like hail. 1t is the critical moment, and
has been happily seized by the artist as the most
prominent feature OF his picture. Inc likeness OF
Perry is said to be good, and the whole attitude
and expression OF the hero are striking. The boat
and all the persons in it stand out well In the fore
ground. The individuality of the sailors, and par
tlculary OF Perrys young brother, who Is mploring
the commander to sit down and not expose him
self so much to the shot of the British, is
strongly marked. This group ofitself is very fine
picture. The unity OF 1t rests there The other
parts-such as the disabled ship just left, the
Niagara and the other ships on both sides in the
distance, the shot and shells falling into and throw
ing up the water all round the smoke OF the guns
and other objects-are but details, though each Is
striking enough and faithful to history. The water
and sky, not easy to deneate, are SO far treated
naturally, though the artist has yet to finish this
part OF his painting when placed in the Capitol. On
the whole POwells "Batte OF Lake Erie" is no
doubt, one of the very best productions OF Ameri.
can art. IL is creditable to Congress who ordered
It, as well to the country, and viii confer endur
ing honor upon the artist. sHr'fesr

The phraseology OF this minute was severely crit
csed, some maintaining that the Missionary Society
had been organized and In active operation thirty
years before DR.. Durbin took hold of it, and that
this minute would cast an invidious reflection upon
the memory Of Drs Bangs and Pittmap, who were
the founders Of the society. Drs. Slicer Foss, Hi
Pershing, Prettyman, Lanahan and others took part
in the debate, after which the minute was adopted
unanimously by rising vote.
BY a subsequent vote, on a motion OF DR.. Curry
the Board OF Managers OF the Missionary Society
were authorized to allow DR.. Durbin three months
salary. He was also made an honorary secretary,
that the 'green hands, as DR.. Slicer called the
new secretaries who do not "know the ropcsm
