Help for Cripples.

From the New York Times.
As the results of the work of Dr. Lorenz
in the performance of his special operation
are being tested In the steady and in some
instances rapid progress Of his little pa

attention may properly be called to the
large and attractive field for practical be-
nevolence offered in the foundation of
orthopedic hospitals. There is something
especially satisfactory In a work which

children treated for congeniaI hip dsloca-

period of convalescence while nature Is
healing the wounds of torn muscles and
occupies several months, and during this

The administrator of the Fair estate saws
that at Paris a $50 imitation sable cloak
was substituted for the real thing-one of
the most valuable cloaks in the world
among Mrs. Fairs effects; also, that Mr..
Fair was in his lifetime, to use a slang
phrase, 'just puddin' - for Partisan jewell
ers, who sold him what was supposed to be
valuable, strings Of pearls. but which turn
out to be limitations 1t seems that it takes

and then gave this piece of sound advice:
"Just put stone there and think that it
is your gold and 1t will do you just as
much good" So. in the present case, what
is the difference between sham sables and
real ones? The one will keep the wearer
just as warm as the other, and be, so to
say, Just as slightly. And the same thing
is to be said for the imitation pearls.
Neither of them comes under the head of

ton of covering as clothes, which does

The Marquand Collection.

The feature Of the last days sale Of the
Maryland collection of art objects. curios.
etc., which closed in New York last Satur-
day, was the famous piano of ebony, richly
1nlaid, designed by Alma Tadema. and
adorned by panel piece. symbolizing
music. painted by Sir Edward ]. Poynter,
president Of the Royal Academy. 1t was
generally expected that this piece would
sell for an enormous sum, but, greatly to
the surprise of every one, it brought only
$1,000. 1t Is understood that 1t cost Mr.
Marquand $4,000, or thereabouts. Another
surprise was the price paid for a Persian
rug about by IL feet In size. 1t brought
$4,000. or something over $44 a square
inch, and it Is said that the purchaser has
since been offered and refused $4,000 for
his bargain. This was the largest sum
paid for any article in the collection, not
excepting the fine paintings. The whole
collection, including the ninety-three paint
ings, which sold for $197 900, the week
previous, produced the handsome aggregate
of s7O6.O10.75. This is the largest sum ever
realized at a sale of this character in this
country, except that Of the Mary Jane Nor
gan collection in 1886, which passed the
million dollar mark. Many persons doubt
however. whether it would realize as much
il sold today.

ARCHITECTURAL EXHIBITION.
Admirable Drawings and Photographs
of Buildings.

The exhibition Of the Washington Archi-
tectural Club shows another and not less
important side of art. It's purpose Is to
awaken the interest of the general public
In architecture and the applied arts and to
set forth the real value Of ideal surround
ings The plan of the exhibition is excel
lent, and no pains have apparently been
spared to make 1t both comprehensive and
practical. In this, as in the Society of
washington Artists exhibition, much of
the work comes from out Of town. A large
section Of it, in fact was included in the
display Of the Philadelphia T Square Club
and was sent directly from there to Wash
ingten. 1t is not by any means a purely
architectural exhibition, made up of plans
and elevations, which would be Ineligible
to none save the initiated but rather
combination of the fine and applied arts,
demonstrating the dependence Of the one
upon the other and the close alliance of the
two. There are series Of perspective draw
ings and photographs of buildings which
stand for the best that the present century
has evolved; there are public buildings and
private dwellings; there are sketches Of
historic foreign buildings showing the
quaint, curious architecture OF the old
world; there are cleverly painted water
colors, pastels and pen drawings, schemes
for interior decorations; designs for stained
glass windows, mural panels and woven
textures. Some are odd and crude enough,
but the majority are clever in the extreme.
The Municipal Building.
OF special local interest is a series Of
drawings entered in competition for the
Washington municipal building. which was
recently awarded to the firm of Cope &
Stewardson. These are grouped on the
north wall Of the atrium, and include three
of the five designs selected by the jury as
most meritorious, namely, those by Messrs.
Marsh and Peter. Wood and Dom and Poin-
dexter and Ash In another section photo
graphs of notable work done by the sue
cessful firm for the Princeton, Pennsylvania
and ST. Louis universities are shown, and
not one of the least important features Of
. the exhibition is a collection of student
drawings, made in the architectural de-
partments Of the last named schools. There
are some imposing prize designs from the
Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris, among which
are a number by Frank Miles Day, the ar
chitect for the new municipal hospital. The
supervising architects office of the Treas
ury Department makes again good show
ing with an array of lately designed post
offices, etc, which testify to the fact that
the day when utility and ugliness were
synonyms is past. With these will be found
the design for the government building for
the Louisiana purchase exposition, which,
while of substantial proportions, Is exqui-
sitely graceful and daintily ornate.

exhibition In the hemicycle. though small In
contrast to the New York and Pennsylvania
academies, compares favorably with either,
and Is equally representative OF the best
American art of the day. The splendid
standard attained last year has been fully
upheld. There are as many big names in
the catalogue and no fewer good paintings
on the walls. There Is a certain advantage

Pleasing Variety.
There is an interesting diversity of COM
position in this thirteenth annual which is
rather unusual, for exhibitions of these
kinds are apt to run to single style or
school-even the largest exhibitions being
known to suffer from over many nocturnes
sunsets, marines, snow pictures, ETC.; but
for once the honors seem to be quite evenly
divided. There are in the entire collection
just three snow scenes. One Is by Birge
Harrison one is by Hugh Breckenbridge
and the third is by Spencer Nichols Mr.

Mr.. Nichols canvas is larger, his comnnsi
ton more complicated and less UNIQUE but
IL Is altogether admirably painted and does
not only credit to the painter but to the
local fraternity.
The Washington artists are indeed yery

pairing to good advantage with that of the
more celebrated outsiders.
