Miles as inspector general of the state
OF Massachusetts, overshadowed all
other questions in the discussion OF the

OF their grade when assigned To duty
with the militia of the several states.
Several members declared that the

Mr.. Hull insisted that he had no such
thought in mind, and argued that the
best results were obtained from officers
OF the lower grades He asserted that
not until the law was passed allowing

TO the militia did retired officers of the
higher grades apply for the appoint

A Ri N O T E S.

1t Is oftentimes difficult to differentiate
In art between an amateur and profess
sional, iuasmuch as few artists live by
the product of their studios. and none,
from the student days on, is averse to
selling his paintings. 1t is, however,
comparatively easy to separate the men
who work chiefly for gain and those who
labor primarily for the observation-disclosures
for the loYe of their art To these last
most truly belongs the Rev. Johannes A.
Oertel of Vienna, Va, painter who,
while living beyond the boundary of the
District, may literally be numbered
among our local artists. Some years ago
Mr. Oertel built for himself spacious
studio near his home at Vienna, and there
early and late, winter and summer he
will be found at work. He paints land
scapes and animals with much sympathy
and skill but he devotes himself chiefly
to the Interpretation OF religious themes.
Recently he has set forth on canvas
picture of Christ lad accompanying
his earthly parents up to Jerusalem. A
broad view of simple pastoral country is
shown through which winds the famous
roadway In the foreground is the Virgin
riding on an ass while beside her, walk
ing in apparent sympathy. and occupied
in conversation, are Jesus and Joseph.
Eeyond as far as the eye can see, are
other bands of pilgrims going up to the
great feast. The coloring is attractive,
the theme pleasantly and most reverently
Interpreted Through its composition 1t is
immensely impressive but in its manner
and suggestion it is restful and appeal
ing This picture, to be used as a mural
decoration Mr.. Oertel has presented to
the little Episcopal Church in Anacostia,
and CHANGING through the other Anglican
churches in Washington many will be
found TO have been similarly enriched by
his art and generosity. The reredos of
carved wood in the Church of the lncar-
nation, for instance, Is his handfwork,
and paintings in st. Johns. Georgetown,
and St stephens, Mt. Pleasant, are pro-
ducts of his studio.
Mr. Oertel has a number of interesting
large canvases on hand at present, one Of
the most pleasing of which is ailegorical
Interpretation of the Church Militant =
Joshua leading the representatives of the
ten tribes into the land of Canaan. 1t Is
the picture of an army in gorgeous array,
set forth with much splendor of color and
sincere dramatic feeling. The banners and
the apparel of the warriors are delightful
to look upon. and the blare of the trum-
pets seems to fill the air. OF earlier date,
but until now unexhibited. is canvas pic

ought to show the exact spot It is COM
posed of silver hid there by pirates. The
silver is in round plates. and there is
so much of 1t that it lightened the boat
which carried it there three feet when It
was taken out. Figuring on the size of the
boat l estimate that it must weigh at least
100 tons, or, in round numbers, just about
100000 pounds and all is pure silver.

Smith, and he had 1t by tradition from his
great-great- grandfather, who was chaplain
of the New York city prison in 1920. While
acting as such two pirates, a captain named
Golden and mate named Fraser; were in
Jail condemned to death Chaplain Smith
was the only man who was kind to them,
and each. not knowing that the other was
doing likewise, confided to him that the pi-
rate crew to which they belonged had buried
this treasure on the Island of Mona. They
told similar stories of their captures, and
how they had put their prisoners to death
by making them walk the plank On being
chased by a man-of-war they had taken
their treasure to Mona and buried 1t
there The captain gave the chaplain a
chart showing exactly where the treasure
lay. 1t was near a tree within certain
pacing distance from some wells. A similar
story was told by the mate. These stories
and the chart were handed down from
father to son, until they had reached my
friend Smith. ! urged him to join with me
and form company to seek the treasure,
