this week was not only a local and ma
tional but an international affair On
Tuesday evening, at a reception given In
the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the institutes
first gold medal of honor was awarded to
Sir Aston Webb, the distinguished British
architect In his speech of acceptance Sir
Aston said that having only been in this
country for few days he could not pre-
sumo to have much less express, an opin-
ion on American architecture, but there
were certain impressions which he had re-
ceived OF which he must speak. The
"gapiness" of New York's building lines
was one of these. In that great city, he
said, the architects are solving terrific
problems with a terrific speed that fairly
dazes their brothers from across the sea.
He confessed to having found allurement in
the canyonlike streets and the towering
skyscrapers, and he found in the one
suggestion of the thoroughfares of Genoa
and in the other material for the poets

he paid high tribute to the park commits

ly, extremely poorly presented, being
shown by wood cuts, none too well rem
dered which robbed the structure of their
art feeling and inherent nobility of ex-
preston. Again, on Wednesday evening,
the institute performed a valuable service
by bringing to this city, and together
around a banquet board, some of the
most distinguished painters, sculptors
men of letters and affairs, well as
architects, of America. Every event of
this order hastens the time when Wash
ington shall be accounted an art center.
1t is common to hear of art "finds,"
but seldom that discovery of real inter-
est is made. "Murillo's," "Raphaers' and
"Rembrandt's'' are found" every few
days, but few prove authentic or even in
trinsically worthy. The exception is, how
ever, sometimes met with, and when it is
It is all the more delightful. Twenty years

the American people by bequeathing into
their trust q generous fortune to be de-
voted to "the increase and diffusion of
knowledge among men.
This clause of his will seems to have been
inspired by the very similar phrase or
Washington's farewell address. That he
entertained anti-monarchial ideas is lndi-
Gated by letter which he wrote from
Paris just before the revolution: In thlS

Manuscript Rejected.
America owes its acquisition of the Smith
son bequest to an authors pique over the
rejection of his manuscript, according to
persistent tradition. 1t is said that Smith
son first bequeathed his fortune to the
Roval Society, which for years had publish
ed his papers in it's transactions, but
that in 1919 the society rejected one or
these papers, whereupon the highly sensl-
tive author made the will by which the
fortune came to America, land which he
never had visited. In this document, drawn
in 1896 his estate was left to Henry James
Hungerford his maternal nephew, who evil
IDENTIFY had befriended him. The estate was
to descend to Hungerfords children, "legiti-
mate or illegitimate," if any; but In the
event of Hungerford' death it was to go
to the United States for the founding Of
the Smithsonian Institution. His nephew
survived him but six years and died child
less. President Jackson commissioned
Richard Rush of Philadelphia to bring the
funds to the United States. After suit In
chancery Rush returned to America with
the whole amount, sos, 31S.46 in English
sovereigns.

money brought from England had first been
invested in Arkansas bonds, and was now,

Among lawyers there is a saying that in

day an attorney was preparing to leave his
office in one of the big office buildings to go
to the court house to try a case. From the
shelves of his library he had taken many
large law books containing decisions and
opinions of higher courts. At intervals
boy went In and out of the door and each
time he bore In his arms stack OF the
books, which he carried to an express
wagon that stood in the street below. The
attorney was to use the books in the court

Another lawyer who is of southern birth
and who always addresses his friends with

went in and out carrying the law books.
