A Picture OF Martin Luther,s Statue.

A picture in oil of the Martin Luther statue
was hung in the Memorial church yesterday
twas lent by .Wedemeyer, chairman of the
statue finance committee, of New York city.
The painting may be seen to-day in the art
window of George Ryneal, on Seventh street.
This evening there will be meeting of the
statue committee, to which all friends are in
vited, in Mr.. RyneaPs parlors, AIS Seventh
street. II has been definitely fixed that this
fine bronze is to be erected in front of the
Memorial church. II will be the most beauti-
ful statue of the capital, and full
of inspiration. The pastor of the Memorial
church stated yesterday that friend had
generously proposed at his own cost to finish
the three spires of the Memorial church, on
condition that the congregation and its friends
raise $4,000 toward the debt of the church
within two years. The finished church, with
its main tower 100 feet high, will furnish
good background to the Luther bronze. The
plans for the spires are being prepared by
Messrs. Cluss and Schultze of this city, who
have also submitted to the national executive
statue committee design for pedestal much
more massive than the one in the painting
now on exhibition. The completion of this
free sected church and the location of the
Luther statue in front of il will add to the
art and architectural beauties of the capital.
The Memorial pastor expressed the hope yes
terday that it might be possible to accept the
generous proposition announced. A meeting
of the friends of the Memorial church will
soon be called TO consider il. Books for sub
scriptiOns to the statue fund are open at Ry-
MEALS, on Seventh street, and Davis's Sons, on
the avenue.
