ENCOURAGING AMERICAN ART,



When the Corcoran Gallery of Art reopens
to the public, on the 18th of September next,
it will be found that its collection of paintings
has been enriched by the addition OF large
and very fine landscape, from the easel of Mr..
George Inness. Mr.. Inness stands easily first
among the landscape painters of America,
while not few of the best critics hold that in
that particular field he has no superior now
living in any country; and the canvas in ques-
ton will assuredly take rank with the best
work he has ever done, il indeed. it be not
finally accepted by common consent as the
masterpiece and crown Of long and brilliant
career.
Inness' powers is the interior Of a grand old
forest. The hour is sunset and the theme is
treated in the artists well-known broad and
free style, with all the seriousness and dignity
which the subject demands The last rich rays
Of the setting sun touch with CLINT OF warm
color the boles and branches of several trees on
the left, giving an Illuminating glow to a broad
sweep Of foreground, and fall with full force on
the massive trunk of a noble old beech, which
is thus made the keynote of light and color for
the whole canvas. Other fine specimens of the
forest primeval' are harmoniouslv subordi-
| mated to this central object; an mposng mass
of rock rises iii the middle distance; away be-
yond another shaft of sunshine warns and
lights up long vista of open space in the back
ground. That is all. No representation of
man or of any living thing or the creation of
| man challenges attention with the solemnity Of
| the hour, and no bit Of garish sky or feeey
cloud shines through the thick canopy Of foliage
| to detract from the impressive grandeur of the
! scene. And nothing can well be finer in its
way than this simple transcript of nature.
Bryants noble line

must rise to the mind of those familiar with it.,
when standing before this canvas, and they
whose sensibilitiss are not lifted up and quick
ened by it's majestic charm can know but little
OF either Nature or Art
1t may be added that the motive for the pic
ture was found in piece of forest near Hast
ings, sWestchester county, New York. The
first sketch was made some twenty years ago.
and the subject has dwelt in the artists mind
and imagination with overpowering force ever
since. The present painting was commenced
seven years ago but not until last spring was
Mr.. Inness able to transfer to canvas the mas
terfnl impression received on the spot The
last touches were given to tho canvas only few
weeks since, and it has never been exhibited to
the public, having been bought directly out of
the artists studio. Visitors to the Gallery when
it reopens in the fall will therefore have liter-
ally the first view

MOUCK Is COMMITTED.
Re u Held for Court for Trying to Shoot

he u Held for Court for Trying to Shoot
Hh Wife.
Henry Fletcher Houck. the washin gton
painter who shst at his wife ever in Baltimore
Yesterday morning, as narrsRd in dispatch to
IRE STAR. was committed for court yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Rouok recovered sufficiently
from the shock so that she returned to Wash
ington. 1t Is CLAIMED that Hosek when intoxi-
Gated has invariably vented his spleen upon his
wife. Houek became 60 qssrrelsome about a
week ago that Mira Houck lsit home and went
to Baltimore to visit her cousin, Mrs. VIM.
Ellis, who lives at l235 Helms street. Shortly
after s o'clock In the morning Mrs Elhs. who
Was In bed, heard carriage drive up to her
house and a man rang the bell She dressed
herself. and after finding that il was Houck at
the door admitted him. By this time the rest
OF the family, including Mrs. Houck, were
awakened, and after dressing came down stairs
to see the visitor. Houck looked as il he had
been drinking little. but was not into icat.d.
He made himself very pleasant. and when has
vile entered the room ROSE krom his chair and
gave her a warm embrace and a kiss. Mrs
Houck saw q pistol in her husbands pocket.
and fearing trouble moved some feet away. 1t
was IN these positions that they conyersed for
some minutes. Mrs. Houck then had occasion
to go TO the dining room, and as she turned
anu Ssol " WIN toWifu tue cOrfluOf hOQCk
sprang from his chair and reached for his gun.
Mrs. Ellis screamed 70 Mrs Houek 10 run,
and In an instant the Inter sprang into the
room and closed glass-paned door behind
her. Then came the report OF the weapon.
The heavy bullet went through the glass. sped
over Mrs. Houck's head and penetrated the
wall beyond, striking it about two inches from
picture OF the Virgin Mary. Some of the
splinters of glass struck Mrs. Houck's daughter
IN the face, but ttft not inrfict any serious in
jury. HoucR. finding that he had failed to hit
MIS- wife, started to pull the weapon again.
His hand had just begun to press bass the
trigger when Mrs. Ellis grabbed him by tie
collar and threw him to the floor. Her son,
james Gill, was attracted TO the scene and i'm
mediately went to his mothers aid. The pair
held HOuck on the fioor until sergt William
son came along and put Houck under arrest.
At the station Houck pretended TO be very
drunk and succeeded in falling 20 the floor
three or four times. He also denied the shoot
| ing. AT the house, however, he told the people
| of Mrs. Ellis household that he had come to
Baltimore expressly 10 kill his wife, and was
| sorry that he failed 10 do so.

The Garbage Questioa Agnin.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star:

notice by this evenings STAR that the Dis
trict Commissioners are seeking a means OF
compelling the garbage collector to comply
with the terms Of his contract or to at least
secure an improvement over the miserable
service now rendered. Permit me 10 suggest
that some District oficer be designated to re-
ceive and record weekly reports of failures to
make the required collections in the various
neighborhoods throughout the city, and that
tines be levied against the contractor for all
duly authenticated delinquencies, and thai the
amounts thus assessed be deducted from his
pay. Should such system be adopted l. for
one, have large-sized budget Of deLnquencies
to report.
Question the legality of payment in full to
the contractor for service he notoriously fails
to perform. Would payment in full be made
to Q contractor for paving q street who had
done but a portion Of the work contracted for?
think not. Yet are not these cases parallel?

Yesterday afternoon the commissioners

Park land continued hearing evidence as to
values. &C., after The STARS report closed.
The Shoemaker parcels on the west side of
the park $50 and 5194 acres) were considered.
Mr.. Starkweather described them as nearer
the Tenleytown line of improvements. and he
considered the land worth 81 500 per acre
Mr.. b. F. Gilbert gave about the same value
81 500 per acre.
Mr.. J. p. Klingle said that the woods con-
tanned about everything indigenous to this lati-
tude and the place was indescribably grand
because Of wildness. There were two elements
Of value in the 240-acre tract-building sites
and water power-and he placed the same
value on all, 81, 500 per acre.
Mr.. Perry asked what was the best use of the
land outside Of villa lots, and what was the
value for agricultural or gardening purposes

Strength of Men and Women.

A French scientist who experimental
with fifty persons OF both sexes, using
a machine, for compression as a test
Of strength. found that the strongest
man was able to produce with his right
hand pressure equivalent to So kilo-
grams Ga kilogram is rather more than
two pounds) and the weakest to 40 kill
ograms, the average being Sc kilo-
grams. One curious result was ar
rived at; the short men were all very
nearly as strong as the tall men, the
average difference between equal
groups Of two sizes being only three
Kilograms. The force of the strongest
women of the fifty who were selected
amounted to only Al Kilograms, and
that OF the weakest to 16 Kilograms,
while the average was 50 Kilograms.
