Exhibit to BE Made of Several of His
PAINTINGS.

1t will doubtless surprise many people to
learn that Joseph jefferson, whose genius
as an actor is recognized the land over, is
also an artist. Only his friends and init
mates have known that the great imper
sonatO of human character is, in his idle
moments, delneatOr Of nature.
1t will be the good fortune of some Wash
ingtonians to witness a display of Mr.. JEFF
fersOn'S talents as an artist next week.
Several of his canvasSes have been hung
in Fischers art store and will be placed on
exhibition, by card, beginning next Monday
morning at 10 o'clock. Sixteen oil paint
ings, dealing with landscapes, comprise the
collection. Mr.. jefferson came to Wash
ington yesterday and viewed them in ad
vance of the time when the public is to be
admitted, but he departed from the city
before his friends could be given opportuni-
ty to congratulate him. The paintings are
not for sale, and are shown merely to graf
fly Mr.. Jefferson's friends.
Many of the pieces We're painted within
the past five years, although he has worked
in vacation time for many years, giving
vent In this fashion to the poetry of his
nature and his love for outdoor life.
Mr.. Fischer, in introducing the souvenir
catalogue issued for this exhibition, says:
1T is with sincere pleasure that we send
this catalogue-opening the art season-to
all lovers of art; the more so for the rea-
son that to a majority it will be a surprise
to meet an old friend in an avocation of
which only the initiated few were aware
Joseph Jefferson, as a painter, has subtle
charm and poetry, which are inspired in
artists by qualities of heart and mind, and
1 am certain nobody will see this charming
exhibition without being delighted to have
been brought into contact with the fas-
cinating individuality of the painter him
self"
The titles of the paintings are as follows:
Early Fall" Forest and Stream" Soil
tude,' Rustic Bridge" IAN Early Frost -
Mountain Torrents" 'Stoney Brook,
THE Old Peach Tree" Wood Cart in
Winter" The Copse," THE Old MILL
The Canon Ine Mill DAM" Little
Falls" ION the Beach" and "A Cool Spot -
Those who saw the pictures while they
were being hung speak in high terms Of
praise of the artistic qualities of the work.
Mr.. Jeffersons poetic temperament seems
to have been fully revealed in these can
vases. and in a manner to stamp him an
artist of rare ability.

George Truesdell, president of the Ana
costa Railway Company. has requested the
