DR.. Jones, the principal, yielded to the wies of
a comrnttee. consisting OF girl from each class
and consented to give the young man another
chance Yesterday, at general assembly the prin-
cipa made his decision known 10 the school and II
received with rejoicing. The girl whose copy
book showed a startling similarity to the copybook
of the young man. thereby causing all the trouble
present. and looked much pleased when the
commutation OF the sentence was announced Dr.
Jones' however, took advantage Of the occasion 10
read the school severe lecture on the subject OF
honesty. reminding his charges that as future
teachers it was necessary that they should be

According TO DR.. Jones. the young man is not
so fnuch a hero as the girl students have tried to
make of him The teacher who discovered the
deadly parallel. according 10 the principal, also
discovered that both books were copied from

tees of the Museum in Paris" said the director of
the Museum last night. but did not hear him. or
any OF them. speak OF the Kann collection
1T is true that had conferences with Mr.. Nor
gan with reference to certain works OF art that

we did not discuss the Kann collection"
The Kann collection Is said by connoisseurs TO be
rvalled only by that OF the Rothschilds II covers
almost the whole field CT art and is rumored TO be
held by the administrators OF the Kann estate at

liver a lecture at Harvard Friday. Saturday he

eisms were made that In the process of restoration
Mr.. Fry had skinned" the paintings: In other
words. that all the overtopping varnishes had been
removed and the original coloring laid bare. and
That the pictures were thus frretrievaby spoiled
The board of trustees Of the Museum took up the
subject, and; after an inquiry decided that Mr..
Fly methods were uniustly criticised and that the
pictures were improved. rather than spoiled.
In recent issue Of Academy Notes c. NJ
kurtz. director OF the Buffalo Acad denny OF Fine
Arts, bitterly criticised Mr. Fry. This was brought
TO the notice Of Robert W. Dc Forest. secretary Of
