Because of their historical value as portraits of
well known New-Yorkers of the last century, the
New-York Historical Society would gladly take the
miniatures willed by Peter Marie TO the Metro
pclitan Museum of Art. IL the museum should not

Yesterday that the collection would be a welcome
addition the portraits now in possession of the

General Di Cesnola, director Of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. said that the collection OF min
iatures had not been formally turned over to the
museum yet When it was, committee would be
chosen to decide to the acceptance OF the min
iatures and until then. definite statement could

The acceptance of the miniatures will depend
entirely on their artistic value, and it is pos
sible that the museum will not accept them. ofh-
GERS of the New-York Historical Society were
asked if the society would take the collection.
Dr. Sidney II. Carney, jr., secretary OF the So
ciety said that he thought the Historical Society
would gladly accept the miniatures. The subject
had not been considered officially, he explained
because the Metropolitan Museum OF Art had not
made its decision. But. speaking individually, he
felt that the Marie miniatures would make an ax-
tremely acceptable addition to the nucleus of
collection of portraits which the society now has
said that the society would be glad TO accept the
Marie miniatures because OF their value as pOr-
traits of New-YorkerS. He added

Washington. Jan. 27,-The detail to-day of Cap
tain W. w Gibson. of the ordnance department. to
be recorder of the army board of ordnance and
fortifications has excited a good deal of comment
in the War Department, and will probably arouse
much feeling in the artillery corps Captain Isaac
n. Lewis, officer OF that corps, until recently
acted recorder OF the board which conducts the
trials of the arms and ammunition of artillery
That officer relieved somewhat arbitrarily
and against the wishes OF General Miles the presi-
dent of the board, and was succeeded by Captain
Harry Taylor. engineer officer. who made peri
odicaI trips from Boston, his station. to attend the
meetings Of the board. Now Captain Taylor has
been relieved and Captain Gibson detailed in his
place. The incident was predicted by officers who
felt all along that the board of ordnance and
Notifications would eventually back under
the influence of the ordnance officers. There has
been more or less jealousy between the ordnance
rtment and the artillery and the Gibson
detail will further aggravate the situation.
Attention attracted to the incident to-day
because General Miles, who Is absent from the
country, will return to Washington in the next two
weeks and as president of the board ne will ex-
pect to be consulted in the selection of recorder

the incident departmental designs against that arm

tageous methods for that locality. and effecting
every economy in management, production and
marketing that come from thorough knowledge

out. The capital OF the corporation is s. 0o0 600,
divided into 5000 shares of 800 each
The Company first secured the patents owned bv
the Veneer Barrel Machine Company Of Chicago

took all the rights. property. patents privi-
Ieges and franchises OF the National Barrel and

extensive Veneer plant az AshtabuIa. OHIO. IN
this way IL acquired the exclusive rights to manu-
