A R T AND ARTISTS

The local studies have presented scenes
OF unusual activity during the past week,
as the artists are straining every nerve to
give their exhibition pictures those finish
ing touches which often add 80 much to
the harmony or effectiveness of a paint
ing. The works to be entered for the
spring exhibition of the Society of Wash
ipgton Artists must be sent to the gallery,
1920 Connecticut aveEue, on Monday be-
tween am and pm. The number of
contributions one artist may exhibit is
limited to six, and, as was the case last
year, works in oil, pastel, sculpture and
miniature will be admitted. To accommo-
date some of the members who do little
or no work in color. the society has this
year added burnt wood decoration and
black and white to the list Of eligible me-
diCms. private view Of the exhibition
Will be given on Saturday, April 2, and the
gallery will be open to the public from the
Attn to the Both Of April. Washington has
OF exhibitions. and the two large April ex-
hib1tfons, aided by a goodly number of
smaller displays. promise to bring the un-
usually interesting season to a brilliant
cICse.
On Saturday last Mr. Dunbar visited
Philadelphia in order to personally SUPER
intend the finishing work on a bronze cast
Of the bust which he made of Commodore
sherwood during his recent stay in New
York. The portrait was so successfully
modelled and gave such general satisfac-
tion that a second cast has already been
made, and third is now under way at
the foundry. Mr.. Dunbar has recently
started figure of Seminole Indian girl,
the figure being part of group which ia
to be exhibited in the government building
at the Omaha exposition. In the group,
which represents typical scene in the
Seminole domestic life, women are shown
in the act of pounding corn. The bust Of
MIR. Alexander Graham Bell which Mr.
Dunbar has almost completed, will rank
among his best thirgs. The portrait has
been modelled in vigorous decisive man
ner. tina, Is well suited to the strong sculp-
turesque character Of the head, and the re-
srlt has been most satisfactory.
A collection Of water colors by Paul de
Longpre is now the attraction at Veer-
hoff's. and his eminence as a painter of
flowers has drawn many visitors to the gal
lery. To the study Of flowers, to them
alone, Mr.. de Longpre has given his whole
life, and he does not scorn the meanest
flower that blows, but lavishes upon the
humble field flowers the same skill that he
spends upon the most superb orchids In
his coloring he rivals nature, and his draw
ing shows an equal fidelity. the product of
a very wide botanical knowledge His ac-
curate and precise method is not, however,
equally well suited to all subjects. In his
carnations, for example, he falls to ade-
Quately represent the delightful rugged
ness OF the flowers. 1t Is In arrangement
that the artists pictures are least agreea-
bic. as he often masses his flowers In a

The profound impression produced
when two hundred and sixty sailors
persisted with the warship Maine is
contrasted by Chicago paper with
the apathy of the people over the an
nual loss of four thousand lives be-
cause of the contaminated water sup
ply of that city. This gives the Union
Signal occasion to call the attention Of
the American public to the annual sac
rifice of hundred thousand lives by
the use of more dangerous kinds OF
drink. We may take wider view still.
In the whole United States, the num-
Der OF deaths per annum is about eight
cen hundred thousand. According to
the estimate of physicians, more than
half, or nearly a million, die from
"preventable causes" Civilization has
on its hands tolerably big contract,

thing very much like wholesale muir
