or intoxication. The original Communication
was suspension for one year. The present
communication is as follows: To walk twenty
punishment tours; to be confined to the
limits of cadet barracks and the area
thereof until the graduation of their class.
and to be graduated one day after the
graduation thereof
This further clemency is accorded" saws
the president, because OF the fact that the
sentences previously awarded impose a
hardship upon the successors of these two
cadets who have already been appointed.
ana 1t should not be construed as a prece-
dent or as indicating any purpose on my
part to look upon intemperance in the CORPS

sion to announce that sentences herea ter
imposed by courts-martial upon cadets on
account of drunkenness will be approved
and carried out, except in cases where by
reason of the Recommendation of the court,
or other circumstances. I deem that Justice
demands Communication thereof"

THE EVANS COLLECTION
FORTY-SIX OF THE PAINTINGS
ARE NOW ON EXHIBITION.

The collection of paintings by American
artists presented by Mr.. VIM. T. Evans of
Montclair, N. j., to the National Gallery,
has arrived and been placed on exhibition
in the atrium of the Corcoran Gallery Of
Art. The initial gift included fifty can
vases, and forty-six of these are now on
view. Three of the remaining four are
loaned temporarily to the Carnegie Insti-
tute, and the fourth Is at present being
shown at the National Academy of Designs
annual exhibition in New York. These
pictures were shipped from Mr.. Evans
home last week, and were hung yesterday
under his personal supervision. They COM
prise choice examples of the work Of
George Inness, Alexander H. Wyant
Homer Martin, Winslow Homer, Blakelock
Murphy, Ranger Trachtman. Loeb, Weir,
Bogert, Walker. Dessae, Alexander, Blum,
Dewey and a score of others. Rarely are
so many good pictures found in single
assemblage, and never, in all probability
could the nation. even by purchase, lave
obtained such representative works. Mr.
Evans has been the chairman of the art
committee of the Lotos Club, New York, for
fifteen years, and none has done more than
he to encourage the development of Ameri-
can art and foster it's appreciation. With
the Freer collection, which will finally be
given a permanent home in this city, and
the Harriet Lane Johnston collection this
gift will go far toward making Washing ton
a national art center.

food and what it is really for.
