the week a very attractive display of wa
ter colors. the work of Mr.. Charles M.
Young, whose studio is for the present at
Gaithersburg. The collection includes land
scapes only and they bear testimony that
Mr.. Young Is close and responsive stu
dent of nature. His touch may be styled
dainty, rather than strong, but it Is thor
oughly pleasing in the results it secures,
and faithfully interprets It's undertakings,
especially ,p in Portraying autumnai and
winter effects. In these he seems to be ex-
ceptionally happy.
Measures are being taken in South Bend,
Ind, for many years his home, to erect a
statue of Schuyler Colfax in that place. 1t
is estimated that it will cost $4,000, and an
effort will be made to have a large portion
of this sum contributed by the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, of which organiza-
ton Mr.. Colfax was for great part of his
life an active and prominent member AT
present his grave is unmarked, save by a
humble slab bearing his initials.
The portrait by Rembrandt, belonging to
Jefferson the actor. which he has recently
placed On view In the Corcoran Gallery,
while not one of the great Dutchman's best
efforts, is nevertheless an interesting work
of art. The value put upon it by it's owner
will be understood by tho fact that he
keeps it insured for twenty thousand dol
lars, even in the secure place where it is
now housed
Next week will be shown at the Fischer
gallery collection Of paintings and water
color drawings by Mr.. Hobart Nichols that
well merits the attention Of art patrons. as
well as that CT art lovers. The catalog en-
braces some forty examples. which range

scape effect from dawn to nightrall and from
spring to winter, each admirably illustrat-
ing the artists poetic temperament and his
capacity for interpreting the subtleties of
nature. A number of the pictures deserve
extended mention. but it can only be said
here that the collection whole repre-
seuts the efforts of an earnest and ambi-
touS young man, whose talent has been
recognized not only by wide circle of adj
mirers here, but in New York, where he
has frequently exhibited, and whose merit
as an artist is entitled to more substantial
engagement than it has yet received.

ART NOTES..

In Mr. Carl Gutherz's large oil painting
lately placed on exhibition in the Corcoran
Gallery a work of more than ordinary in
terest is presented to the public, whether

which sat in Geneva several years ago. and
admirably brings to view both the place of
meeting and the distinguished participants
In the momentous proceedings. The occa-
sion was a most important one for both

vitality affected by the conclusion arrived
at 1t is WELL therefore. that 1T should be
thus perpetuated and Mr.. Gutherz fas
very creditably performed the difficult task
he imposed upon himself when he under
took to portray the scene On canvas. The
members of the court and the eminent
counsel present are easily recognizable, and
the general effects of color, light and
shade, atmosphere and perspective are
extremely pleasing. 1t is understood That
Mr. Gutherz has concluded to make his
home. for a while at least in Washington.
So whose artistic circle he will make
Valued addition
The stagnatol in the picture market Is
no less marked on the other side of the
Atlantic than in this country. Prices re-
Gently obtained in London are no more

taste during such periods, and even they

Notwithstanding the Indictment weather
OF last evening, which was perhaps the
most disagreeable Of the season, there were
over seven hundred and fifty visitors at
the free night exhibition at the Corcoran

The Enrich collection of ninety-three eX-
amples by early Dutch and Flemish mas
tiers, which was sold in New York on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings OF this
week. produced only S36,O25, or an average
of little less than $500 a piece. While
this aggregate probably represents pretty
nearly, if not entirely, their original cost
to Mr.. Enrich, the result was doubtless
disappointment to him. as it must have
been a surprise to the public, considering
what has been claimed for the artistic
merit AID commercial value of some OF the
canvases included in the collection. The
highest price brought by any painting in
the lot was $1,000. This was paid Tor
Rubens, entitled 1.-The Village Dance"
Only five others sold for $1,000 or mora.
They were: Head of a Young Man," first
attributed tn the catalog to Frans Halls,
and afterward to Rembrandt; Group Be-
fore Village Inn," by TeDiers the Young
er; Portrait Head of an Old Man, by
Denner; Portrait Of a Sculptor, by Helst;
and Landscape With Cattle" by Paul
Potter These brought $500, S1,96O, $1,000,
81 200 and $1,000. respectively 1t is likely
would have sold for a higher price but for
the uncertainty thrown around it by the
fact that 1t was first cataloged and guar
anteed as q Halls and afterward as
Rembrandt. This circumstance could hard
Nv fail to weaken confidence as to the gen.
uineness of that particular picture and 1t
probably had a more or less damaging in
fuence on the mind Of bidders as to the
whole collection.

France was perhaps never better expressed
than by NJ. Joseph Roux, a distinguished
writer of the last named country. Says NJ.
Roux: Ancient art clothed the human
body with chastity and majesty. Modern
art unclothes even the nude; it is an I'M
chaste, sometimes an impudent art. Athens
poured a soul over the body. Paris spreads
a body over the soul. The Greek statue
blushed; the French statue calls forth
bushes"
