of Elbridge J. Pattee. representative
10 the supreme commandery, who died

which the following resolutions were
adopted:
The Grand Commandery of the Dis
trict of Columbia receives with profound
regret the announcement of the sudden
Geath of our representative to the SUI
preme commandery. Elbridge J. Pattee,
on the morning Of the oath instant
But yesterday his mortal remains
were laid away in their last resting place
in Arlington Cemetery, surrounded by
the graves Of so many thousands OF
his comrades of the civil war.
Coming. as it were. direct from the
scene of his burial. we hasten to record
our appreciation of his long continued
and faithful services in connection with
our order and with this Grand Com
mandery.
His membership in the order dates
back to February II, 1881, more than
twenty-six years ago, when he entered
st. Johns Commandery, from which he
was transferred to Trinity on the or
ganization of that commandery. He
was admitted to this Grand Comman-

PUPILS EXHIBITION
SHOWS GOOD WORK
Pictures Hung in Hemicycle
of the CorcoTan
Gallery.

The annual exhibition Of the work
Of the pupils Of the Corcoran School
Of Art now upon the walls OF the
Hemicycle. and in the west class room,
is the closing event of the exhibition
period at the CorcOran gallery. One
fOrgets that these pictures are the work
OF pupils, and the disposition 10 com
pare them with the exhibitions Of pic
lures by artists OF experience, is apt 70
make the proper examination Of the stu
dent exhibition difficult.
Another feature which tends to lessen
the proper estimate Of the work is the
fact that the pictures are unframed and
closely grouped to economic wall space
and for the convenience of the jury
awarding the prizes, thus rendering
them far less attractive than they would
be II suitably framed and arranged in
such a manner that the repetition Of
work from the same subject was not
massed.
1t should be remembered by all that
the work Of the students has not been
directed toward the making Of pictures
Of that pictorial quality which is the
dominating charm Of the popular exhi-
bition. but has been of an elemental
academic quality AS the constant study
OF the musical scales is a condition pre-
cedent to the accomplished musician, so
the faithful work OF the art student in
studies from the cast, from still life, and
the figure, is necessary in the develop
ment OF the artist Having trained the

closed it fo~ the summer. which they in
tend 10 spend at Newport and Bar Har-
Dor. For many years the work Of the
Misses COcmans has been well known 70
the public through the reproductions Of
their paintings BY Coupl. Fishel, and
Ad. Braun. In their work they are
strongly Influenced. both in technique
and selection or subject, by The work Of
their father. Pierre Onver-Joseph Coo
mans. a noted genre painter Of Paris,
who has been the only art instructor
of his daughters.
In color and drawings these artists re-
feet the expression OF the French school
Of BOuguereau and Gerome. In selec-
ton OF subject they are best seen in
their imaginative works OF a classical
character Their pronounced aqpreCia-
ton OF beauty. skillful drawing. pleasing
and harmonious color have given them
q reputation which should have made
their short stay in this city an event
of interest in art circles. Naturally re-
firing, and but slightly acquainted with
our language and customs they have
failed in making that acquaintance with
art lovers In this city which is neces-
sdTy for the greatest success in securing
profitable commissions.

Photographs From Pittsburg Society
On Exhibition at Camera Club

In the rooms of the Capital Camera
Club, in F street, there is now on exhi-

the Pittsburg Photographic Society. The

member. The exhibition consists OF
some thirty selected photographs.

work Of the Buffalo Society, recently

which, with some two or three excep-
tons. is lacking in interest. and In that
