Jefferson. This was painted from life by
this great artist and was one of the last
portraits for which Jefferson sat 1t pre-
sents the great statesman as he really
appeared. and the painter did not attempt
TO idealize his subject. The portrait has
on this account a large historical value.
some fabulous offers have been made to
the university for the portrait by some
of the Northern art galleries. but money
could not buy It.
Just on the right of the building as one
enters is another portrait of Jefferson by
Andrews, a copy of the original in Wash
ington. This picture is full length, and
striking.
Among the other .Iefrersonia, which
forms a part of the university exhibit, IS
the chair occupied by jefferson when. as
Vice President of the United States. he
Senates this country ever has known.
The chair is about five feet tall, of leather
and of a style not now seen. 1t was
presented to the university by General
Preston, himself a distinguished Virgin
ian. The chair is of great historic in
terest.
Beside the sully portrait of Jefferson
hangs an oil painting of Joseph c.. Cabell,
sons chief associate in the founding of
the University of Virginia. Cabell was
at the time that the university was pro-
Jected. probably the most influential mem
Der of the Virginia Senate. and 1t was
due almost alone to CabelIs untiring et-
forts that legislation favorable to the uni
ESTSllN WIS lilldiy obtained.
PORTRAITS OF LEE AND EARLY.
OF especial interest to all students of
history, and to Southerners especially,
are the Elder portraits of General Robert
E. Lee and General j. L. b. Early, the
great cavalr leader of the Confederacy.
The portraits hang in the public Hall of
the university.
j Among the other statuary belonging to
the university is the bronze bust of Edgar
Allan Poe by Zolnay. Poe is probably
the ~st-kno alumnuS of the University
of Virginia. and this bust was presented
to the university by the Memorial ASSo-
citation of Virginia. The bust represents
the great poet and author as sorrowInS
and moody.
Another bust. in marble, Is that of Pro-
fessor Jon Is. Minor, who fer so long
the head of the University Law
School,, and whose able teaching and
dents all over the country. The bust is
by Nirginia'S greatest living sculptor, Ed
ward Valentine.
Among the other valuable portraits are
those of Commodore Maury, the Path
finder of the Sea, whose scientific work
has gained for him the name of Americas
greatest scientist. and which gained for
him such high recognition abroad: Doctor
John l.. Cabell. who was TO the medical
scllool almost what Professor Minor was
Venabie, author of a series of mathemat-
icai works; Professor Gessner Harrison,
also an author of note. and John 4.

batteries were silent.
DAY had hardly lightened the slope
of the two-horned mountain when our
batteries began TO cover it with shrap-
mel. Puffs of white smoke marked the
landing of each she'll With our naked
eve we could see the Japanese being
shelled out of their trenches. First
one and then groups of three and four
black figures sprang into view, squat
ting down, running for cover or sour
rying away among the rocks; but the
shells followed them tearing up the
rocks. Japanese fell literally like
wheat at the hand of a sower. On
the mountain beside the Buddhist
temple our battery was also working.
Then another opened from the oppo-
site side. The Japanese fled so quick
ly that the gunners could hardly fol-
low them. Soon Japanese resourceful-
ness showed itself. They fired the big
native village on the side of the two
horned mountain, rightly guessing
that the wind from the east would

of our gunners. From O'Clock In the

fire continued as on the previous day,

REVIVAL OF RELIGION

The Subject Discussed by National
congregational Council.
Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 14-The dis
cussion of the need and prospects of
a genuine and widespread revival of
religion was the feature of to-day S
session of the National Congregational
Council. The subject was discussed by
four different speakers, who agreed that
the signs of an existing revival are
present and that a better state of
things is coming in the religious
world
Rev. H. H. Proctor, a colored clergy
man, stated that there is now a re-
vival of religion in Atlanta, Ga, which
is shaking the city from center to
circumference; but, he said, "if were
to walk into one of the services, it
would distract and destroy the re-
vival."
Proctor was received with special
enthusiasm and he electrified the coun-
Gil with his keen thrusts on race ques-
tions and adverse to lynchings. He
said that he would favor the death

an, but he favored death, not by lynch

Fears that Gen. kurOpnts<in Cane

London, Oct. 15.-All accounts OF the
fighting south of Mukden that have
reached London appear to confirm the
completeness of the Japanese victory
and the only question discussed by
military critics is whether Gen. KurO-
patkin will be able to make as order
ly a retreat as he did from Lao Yang
or whether the Japanese possess suf-
ficient fresh reserves to undertake a
successful pursuit, In which atter case,
II is believed the Russians will be COM
PEELED to abandon Mukden.
In this connection, the Standards
Yentai correspondent and a dispatch to
a news agency from Toxic assert that
Gen. Oku's army has occupied Pa
chiatse, only twelve miles from Muk-
den. 1t is considered, here. however
that the Japanese advance could hard
ly have pushed as far as these reports
make II appear and probably the error
arises out of the difficulty OF locating
places mentioned In various reports.
