ART HOAX
TO YANKEE BUYER
English Lord Sold Original
He Had Made for His
Own Gallery.

The tide Of foreign travel Is RAPIDLY
returning the pleasure seekers to their
own country, and with each returning
steamer numbers Of good Americans are
bringing with them art objects ard
curlos which have tempted them while
abroad, and notwithstanding the advice
contained In the report Of one OF our
eonsuls, a report which was so con-
Vincing IN its character that the read
ers could wen ask whether there were
stil remaining any genuine articles Of
art value abroad. II is very doubtful If
this friendly warning Of factories de-
voted TO the manufacture Of spurious
art objects. Of immense shops where
Corots and Miilets are manufactured,
aged, and then put on the market for
the unwary and unlearned. has affected
the amount or the character Of the pur-
chases made abroad this season.
In relation 20 the purchase of art
WORKS abroad, a good story was re-
comfy told IN one OF the local studios
OF the adventure OF ar American who
mad purchased a painting by a we'll
known English artist. The sale was
made through a well-esta blished house
ia New York, which had received the
With the painting came a well anthem
ticated history, showing the ownership
Of the work Of art IN one family from
the time the work had been delivered
by the artist TO the time Of the sale OF
the picture 10 Christie.
The purchaser Of the picture was fond
OF showing the addition TO his collection
20 all who were interested in art mat
tiers. With the visitors one day came
an Englishman Of impressive deport-
ment. He gave the picture careful
study. and then turning 20 the owner,
said in HIS most dignifed and freezing
manner: "SiT. permit me TO COngratu-
late you upon having secured a most ex-
cellent copy OF the picture OF Sir
Thomas Lawrence, owned by my friend.
Lord X. I had the pleasure, sir, TO
see the original OF this picture IN the
library OF Lord KS country home less
than a month ago"
The CONSERVATION OF the owner may
be imagined. He related the incident
10 the New York dealer. who assured
him that it could not be possible that

the picture he had sold as an original
was q copy, and at last suggested that
they should make a trip 70 England
and run down the truth or the faisity Of
this story.
Arriving ia London. the dealer and
his customer called upon the London
dealer and related the story. Christie
maintained that there was no doubt
about the picture which he had handled,
and that he was positive tina, it was
an original. To clear away any doubt
upon tie part Of his American friends
concerning the genuineness Of the pic
ture which had found its way TO the
United States, he proposed a call upon
the former owner Of the picture.
Arriving at the country place OF the
Lord x, the three visitors were received
in the library. There in a conspicuous
place upon the wall was the picture
referred to By the Engiishman as the
original OF the one owned in the
United States. Things commenced to
assume a somewhat queer condition. ,
The representative from Christie's
called attention to the purchase Of a
painting from Lord Y some time since
upon the representation that It was an
original; that this painting had passed
WITH his guarantee to the hands OF a
New York dealer, who had sold It as an
original TO its present owner He also
related the incident OF the call Of the
English visitor who had pronounced 1t
copy, and closed with q suggestion
that there seemed to be q whole lot OF
reasons for such a belief
At last Lord X said he aad a confess
sion TO make, but not one that included
any dishonest dealing. He stated the
length Of time the picture had been in
his family. and the feeling Of regret that
he was compelled to dispose OF II. fear
ing that II the fact were known II
might prejudice MS standing among his
associates. and at the same time know
ing Of no other method by which he
could raise such a large sum Ct money
he had decided 70 have a copy made by
one OF the best painters whom he could
secure, and WITH the copy he felt that 1t
would be impossible to detect the truth.
In conclusion, gentlemen, wish TO
say that 1 have never cheated or de-
erauded any one IN this sale. The copy
now Gangs on my wall. You win see
upon examination that Il has been re-
Gently painted, and that It Is on new can

The examination demonstrated the
truth OF the explanation, and the visit

tons as possible.

In commenting upon the estimates for
the District government, Commissioner
Macfarland said yesterday;
THE Commissioners have asked for
all that is necessary, distinguishing. and
asking Congress to distinguish. between
extraordinary projects Of improvement
and current expenditures. The reason
why our schools, health, police, fire. and
other municipal services have not had
adequate appropriation is because the
appropriations for current expenditures
have been cut in order TO attempt to
pay for extraordinary improvements out
Of current expenditures.
This is not done anywhere else IN
the world. It cannot be too strongly
emphasized that the natural increase
in taxation. due to the natural IN
crease IN the values of property. gives
US all we need TO meet our obligations
for both extraordinary and current ex-
penditures-

and should help his ffiends in Con-

extraordinary appropriations and those
for current expenditures, in order to
prevent cutting either and 20 insure
their proper payment. The oxtraOrdi-
