DURANO PAINTINGS
DISPLAYED HIGH
QUALITY OF ART
An Unfinished Canvas of Irving
ton OctOgenarian on His Easel
When He Died.

The funeral of Elias w. Durand, the
prominent Irvington landscape artist
who died yesterday at his home, zoos
Springfield avenue, that town, will be
held Saturday afternoon.
While apparently in the best of
health, Mr.. Durand was stricken with
oarai5sis at his home more than a week
ago and remained Unconscious until
his death.
For a number of years Mr.. Durand
took active part in affairs of the town,
also serving on the Board of Freehold
ers. He wac best known, however, as
a landscape artist and his home con-
tains many of his works. He had an
unfinished canvas on his easel when he
died and had intended to do consider
able work with the brush this winter.
Mr.. Durand, although in his eighty
fourth year, had displayed such re-
markable vitality that his death was
not expected for a lumber of years.
He, has. two sisters more than 80 years
old. His mother died at the age Of 100.
When a boy of Is ME-. Durand studied
banknote engraving with his father,
Cyrus Durand, inventor of. the first
geometrical lathe, which has been i'm
proved upon and is still used in the
Bureau of Engraving at Washington.
After spending several gears In the
engraving business the son studied pors
trait and landscape painting with hie
uncle, Asher Brown Durand, n o.
the most famous American artists OF
the past century. For Q number "a
years the two artists travelled and
painted from nature together. The In
auence of the elder artist undoubtedly
left its impress upon the younger, a.
the oil paintings of the dead artist
possess a quality which it is the gire
of few to bestow. Mr.. Durand was ex-
tremely modest and never. would SEND
his paintings to exhibitions
He is survived by his daughter-in-
law, Mrs. w. w. Durapd; two sisters,
Mrs. lane Chapman. of Washington.
D.. c., and Mrs. Juliet Baker, of Irving
ton. and three grandchildren Effie,
Wilson and Adelaide Duran6

trOIman's Vacation.

Although he wrenched his knee Sc
verely while making his rounds in
Garfield place, South Orange, early
Tuesday night, Policeman Michael Lal-
ly, of that village, continued through
the night prowling over his beat with
out even reporting the accident to head
quarters. As a result. when awakened
to go on duty last night, Lally was
unable to straighten out his leg.
The accident occurred when Lally
was about to cross Garfield place to
max his hourly report over the police
telephone. He stepped into "a hole in
the road, which had beer washed out
by the rainstorm and gave his leg a
bad twist.
The South Orange force is generally
in a crippled condition at present, and
the officers are forced to double-up on
post.
Besides Lally being laid off, Patrol
man Patrick Mcguire and Marshal
Thomas F. Mcguire are way on their
vacations, and the dismissal of Police
man Patrick Reynolds from the force
he escorted a woman home in
the dark further lessons the efficiency
of the department.
Bicycle Policeman Edward Tracey,
who was to have startedAo on a two
weeks vacation today, was not allowed
to go by Acting Marshal Thomas j.
Sherry because of the few men left to
guard the many homes of wealthy folks
who leave their homes containing much
valuables unguarded.
The department, which consisted of
fifteen members last winter, now has
but eleven men working.
