AMERICAN RELICS IN THE MUSEUM
PICTURE BY WORDSWORTH THOMPSON. ILLUS
TRATrYG OLD VIRGINIA TIMES.
To The Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: While viewing the treasures at the Met.
ropolitan Museum Of Art the thought came to me
that without doubt there will be In time depart
ment in this wonderful museum for the special
exhibition OF historic relics OF the Colonial and
Revolutionary period and of paintings OF Incidents
ard buildings illustrating American history Al
ready the Museum has the nucleus OF such a COL
lection and all the members OF the twenty-thres
patriotic societies in New-york are interested In
its increase and growth.
The city needs greatly just such purely Amer
lean historic museum, that can be consulted by
students and artists. and especially those who come
from abroad desiring to study American history
and customs.
Among the late additions OF this character is tho
painting No 1874 Gallery No. p. "od Bruton
Church, Virginia. In the time OF Lord Dunmore." BY
Wordsworth Thompson. n. A. The picture was
presented by the widow Of the artist and truth
fury represents this beautiful specimen OF the
Colonial church of the time when Williamsburg
was the capital and the centre Of social life In
Virginia Near the church. which was erected In
1878 was the palace OF Lord Dunmore. the last
ROYAL Governor and William and Mary College,
the first institution Of its kind in America, and
here was established the first American theatre
that day was this old building. Herein is the
fount "a relic from jamestown Val In which
Pocahontas was baptized. and It's communion SER

time was located the seat Of Government. The
church was named after the parish OF Bruton. In
England the home Of Governor Sir William Berke-
lev and Thomas Ludwel. secretary Of the vir-
ginia colony.
The picture Is real and carries one back In Z
thoroughly natural way to those days
In the good old colony times,
When lived under the King;
the days Of jackboots wigs. buff waistcoats. horse
plstols and embroidered coats. brocades and vel
vets-days full OF romance. heroism and grace
Of manners All these things, and something

faith and the laws "mart,l. moral ana divine,
which were then in force-are suggested In this
picture. replete az II is with all that purity or
color and delicacy OF finish, so characteristic OK

privilege to be permitted TO pay this slight tribute
Of admiration for one who deserved so much OK

NOW is THE TINE TO PLANT TREEa

NOW is THE TINE ~ fbANA iNHH~
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: There are but few people to whom the bud-
ding OF trees at this season Of the year Is not
distinct pleasure. and that pleasure Increases as
the trees develop their full beauty and give US the
green foliage that is restful to the eyes and so
suggestive Of GOODNESS and health.

ton Square is beginning to blossom Its trees max

avenue which is sngulary bare. stir and angular.
Notwithstanding its costly buildings and palatai
houses.
Trees can be successfully planted during the next
ten days, and tho enjoyment OF seeing even a
single tree grow in front OF ones house would
andy repay for the trfing cost a., T.,
our residents Justly pride themselves on tne IN
terror decorations of their houses but so far they
have strangely neglected the planting OF street t
trees: not because they disapproye OF them put
because they have not yet realized how mucn tnex
