ARTISTS OF BARBIZON.
Illustrated Lectures by Charles
Sprague-Smith.

The ladies of the Monday Art class, by their
cooperation and patronage, have made it
possible for the people of this city to hear the
series Of four art lectures to be given by Prof.
Charles Sprague-Snith at the Peoples church.
The lectures will be four in number, and will
be given Tuesdays and Fridays, April IA, II, q
and a. The subjects will be "Millet," Co
rot" "Rosseau' and Barge" and will de-
scribe their haunts in the forest Of Fountain
bleau, and the peasant scenes which were their
inspiration.
Rev. Gunsaulus, Of Chicago, president of
the Armour institute, pronounced the lee
lures the most successful, as we'll as the most
interesting, ever given in the institute. The
Times Herald says: 1.-The first, on Mllet, it
was reasonably expected, would draw well, be-
cause the subject is intrinsically popular
one. But the Interpretation given by Prof.
Charles Sprague-Smith was so admirable, so
free from obscurity and induction so clear and
fitting, that when the second of his lectures,
that on Corot, was to be presented there was
no room in the audience hall for half those
who desired to hear him."

Mr.. French manages the No. 2 boat,
while Mrs. French not only manages
the No. beat, but pilots it also. At
present they are in southern waters,

nually for the last twenty years.
The first intimation the people of the
river towns have of the coming Of the
boat is the arrival of the craft itself.
The stiffness of some quiet morning is
suddenly broken by the notes of
steam calliope, and in five minutes
every boy in town is at the rivers bank,
and among the townspeople it is spoken
to one another; "The theater boat is
here" Thus in five minutes the boat
has made its presence gwell known.
There are no bill boards, no newspaper
no, Autographs, no advance
sale-nothing but steam calliope. At
noon brass band parades the streets,
and again in the evening, as a gentle
the calliope and band are
heard.

way, however, of remedying this de-

tract of land. Although the property

bounded by Connecticut avenue, N aad

the British government was e5O,00O.

was negotiated by Sevellon A. Brown,

Thirteenth street, at it's northern iunc-
ture with Iowa circle; it is modest gray

enough for the unpretentious enter

the time of the purchase of the prop
erty there was question raised at the
District of Columbia tax office in regard

fespondence ensued between the state
department and the tax office, which
resulted in the exemption of the Co.
rean property. There are no laws in
the District of Columbia bearing upon
the subject and the exemption from
taxation of the Corean building as we'll

an act of comfy on the part of this

good deal of ignorance as to the time
and circumstances Of the purchase of
the few legations and embassies owned
In Washington by foreign governments.
The general impression is that the
government Of Great Britain took the
initiatory step, but the fact is that the
government Of Prussia, whose prop
erty was subsequently transferred to
the German empire, was the first for
eign power to own property in the city
of Washington for the use of it's repre-
sentatives. AS early as 1864 Baron Ger
old, for the kingdom of Prussia, pur-
chased the property in Fifteenth street
adjoining the bank OF Corcoran &
Riggs between Pennsylvania avenue
and Fl street. The house was large,
double square building, built much
after the pattern of the fashionable
houses of that time, and was then
considered to be in the heart of the
portion Of the city most desirable for
such purpose. 1t was at this house
that the successive representatives of
the kingdom and the empire dispensed
the hospitality for which they have
earned so liberal name, and, as time
went on and the scale of diplomatic
entertainments became larger and
more elaborate, there was never ques-
ton as to the success of the dinners
and dances of the German legation.
The policy Of the government of
Great Britain is never to purchase land
except in what are known as the first
rate powers of the congress Of Vienna.
This policy, it appears, was departed
from in the case of the United States.
for the property now owned by the
British embassy was built by Sir Ed
ward Thornton nineteen years ago.
It is said that Sir Edward Thornton
could have bought all of the land in
the block, from one corner of N street |
and Connecticut avenue, where the en-

the tie-pass joke would drop into cb-

the assertion that the idea originated in
Russia, where st. Petersburg syndi-

1t is said that all the best show towns,
from theatrical standpoint, are those
which have water front, and there are
hundreds of them. The thing might be
overdone with too many floating pal
aces, but 1t hardly seems possible. Mr..
