Gallery OF Art, Washington, D. c.
BY Mrs Maria Lemon Schneider

The fifteenth annual exhibition o.
the Society of Washington Artists
which opened Tuesday afternoon
March 21st, surpasses all previous
exhibitions held under the auspices
of the same organization in many
respects. No work has been admitted
that does not measure up to the high
standard maintained in the best
annual shows of New York, Phila.
delphia, and Boston. 1t is a small
exhibition-siXty-one canvasses in all.
This is not a local exhibition, but
national in character and influence.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art, in the
hemicycle of which this exhibition is
held, has no connection with the
government. 1t is wholly the result
of the philanthropy of wealthy
citizen, William Wilson Corcoran, who
died in 1893.
Artists and others interested in art
are not disposed to assent to the
statement made by Auguste Roden,
the French sculptor, at the opening of
the Whistlers Memorial Exhibition in
London, to the effect that the English
metropolis is destined to become the
art capital of the world. The progress
made in America in the last few years
has been rapid to gratifying degree.
Time was when the dealers cared to
handle nothing but foreign pictures.
Now the enlightened buying public
wants American art and the dealers
have to supply it. Washington
artists have not been behind the times
in this march forward, and they hope
that when the absurd tariff laws on
art are readjusted, the national capital
will become the art capital of the
world.
The trustees of the Corcoran Gallery
in permitting the use of the hemi-
cycle for these annual exhibitions of
Washington Societies of Artists, is
greatly assisting towards this end, as
we'll as providing an exceptionally
well-lighted and beautiful surround
ings for these works of American
artists. 1t does, however, more than
this, it offers three prizes. The first
prize of 5000 has been awarded this
year to Charles c.. Curran for his
painting entitled cat the Piano." the
second prize of 500 to Leonard
Ochtman for a November Land
scape," and the third prize of $50 to
Miss Ellen Day Hale, the daughter of
the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, for the
portrait study of a young girl wearing
a "Green Calash." The jury con-
sisted of the officers of the society and
it's executive committee, and the
awards have met with universal
appreciation.
Mr.. Curran's painting has already
received the Carnegie prize at the
Society of American Artists exhibition
in 1904 and silver medal from the
superior jury at st. Louis. While
some art critics claim that this is too
much of popular picture to
satisfy those who care only for a
painters picture, they cannot
"damn it with faint praise" While
no detail has been overlooked, it is
neither panty nor overworked. In
feeling it is restful and poetic; in
effect harmonious and attractive.

c. L. Downer Drops From Seventh Floor of New Exchange Hotel
 In Montgomery.

Montgomery August 19-(special)-C. L. Downer of Princeton Ind. a timer working on the new Exchange hotel here, fell a distance of ninety feet this after noon at 3 o'clock from a scaffold pro- jecting from the seventh story. The man, remarkable to say, will live unless unfore- seen complications arise.
 Downer owes his life to a trick of gray ity, as he rode a large plank from the base of the scaffold half the distance of the fall. The plank struck a section of cornice and had the effect of throwing Downer the remainder of the distance with no added force to the shed of an ad- Jacent building on Montgomery street. He ! lodged on the shed and lay there uncon- seious until he was removed by fellow workmen to the office of a physician nearby.
 Thence he was taken to Hills infirmary after his flesh wounds had been dressed. Not a bone was found broken in his body. and there were only few bruises.

It was the adoption today of the following preamble and resolution by unanimous vote of the Dallas Coun- ty Sunday School association, which will be pushed to fruitful results:
