Hoover and wife Escape in Night
Clothing.

A one story frame building at VIII
sonhurg owned by Francis Brothers
and occupied by Irwin c. Hoover,
burned Tuesday afternoon at o'clock.
Hoover lost all his household goods
and wearing apparel. He escaped in
his night clothes as did also his wife.
1t appears that Mrs. Ann Gain, a do
nestle. had put chicken on the cook
stove and that during her absence the
stove became very hot. and set the
fowl atire. The blaze spread and was
under Roadway before it was discov-
cred. Nothing could be done to save
the building or the contents. The
house was valued at $3.50, with $3.50 in
surance. 1t was located near the
school house but not close enough to
any other house to spread.

ACHIEVEMENT
BY Miss Harrison In Art attracts
Attention.
Washington Papers Make Very
Complimentary Compliments.

The Washington, D. G. Evening
Star of Saturday says:
About thirty years ago great i'm.
petus was given local art by the trus.
tees of the Corcoran Gallery granting
students permission to copy in the
gallery three days u week. At that
time there were really no other facili.
ties for studying in this city. There
we're no established schools: no casts
and no models to be had; indeed, il
was even difficult to obtain artists
materials quickly. This privilege was
therefore great boon, and in those
earlier days some excellent. faithful
copies were made OF the various paint
ings; but with the formation OF the
school the majority of the copyists
who possessed talent and had worked
with The purpose of gaining knowledge
and skill were absorbed, and since
then most of the copies have been but
feeble limitations, though sufficiently
correct to be allowed to pass by the
examining committee. Within the
last week, however, notably fine
copy has been completed. 1t is OF Du-
pres Pond by the Great Oak" and is
the work of Miss Harrison of West
Virginia, student in the school.
The original is one OF the strongest
and most important pictures in the
gallery, and To reproduce 1t was an
ambitious undertaking, but Miss Har-
rison has more than succeeded. She has
caught the spirit OF the painting, as
well as the painters vigorous tech.

worthy Of the master himself. The
practice of copying is a rule discour.
aged by the director of the gallery and
the Instructors OF the school, but in
this instance all unite in commenda-
tion."
The Washington Post of the same
date says:
Miss E. NJ. Harrison, one of the
most skillful copyists, has recently
very remarkable copy or
Dupre's famous landscape at the Cor
coran Gallery. The broad heavy load.
ed canvas is very difficult thing to
render. because 1t must he done with
courage and dash. The usual copyist
stroke, precise, clean and careful, would
never reproduce this forceful picture.
and TO see copyist and woman
launch out IN this bold way and sue
reed naturally makes Miss Harrison's
achievement notable"
