Washington, Nov 2.-The death OF Mrs.
Catherine Van Rensselaer, Berry here yes
terdav removed a familiar figure from The
highest as well as the humblest circles OF
Washington society. where for more than a
quarter Of a century she was prominent
for her gracious hospitality and her far
reaching and unobtrusive charities. Mrs
Berry, who was the daughter OF the late
stephen Van Rensselaer,. of Albany, the last
Of the PATRONS, and Harriet Bayard. and
z granddaughter Of General Philip Schuy-
Ter. of Revolutionary fame, was born at the
Van Rensselaer, manor house eighty years
ago She was married 10 Nathaniel Berry.
and lived for many years in Paris, where
she was a social leader in the American
colony in the latter half of the Second EN-
pire. Her home in that city was the scene
OF many brilliant entertainments After
the death of her husband Mrs Berry re-
turned to America and made her home IN
Washington. where. on account of her
charming personality and her wide and dis
tinguished connections both at home and
abroad, her house became a meeting place
Of all thar was best in Washington society.
Mrs. Berry's later years We're devoted al
most exclusively 10 charitable and church
work Especially was this the case since
the death of her daughter Miss Catherine
Berry. Mrs. Berry was a member Of
Epiphany Church. She is survived by two
sisters, Mrs. Schuyler Crosby and Mrs
Howard Townsend. of New York City.

Treasury Reconciles apparent
ly Conflicting Provisions.
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington, Nov. a decision made
public by the Secretary OF the Treasury to-
day harmonizes what appear to be con-
1icting provisions in the two paragra phs
of the Payne tariff law relating to the free
entry of works Of art. The first paragraph
places on the free list. without qualiicn-
tion. all engravings and etchings which are
more than twenty years old.
In the second paragraph it is provided
that engravings and etchings are to be ad-
nlitted free which are proved 10 the salts
faction of the Secretary Of the Treasury,
under rules prescribed by him, to have
been in existence more than twenty years
Erior TO the date OF their importation"
David Bendann, of New York, imported
certain engra wings, for which he claimed
free entry, and the New York customs
officers asked the Treasury Department for
: ruling as TO which para graph of the law
should apply. The department holds that
as 20 engravings and etchings the second
para graph applies. This means that the
importer will be required TO furnish salts
factory evidence to show that engravings
and etchings are twenty years old before
he is permitted 10 enter them free OF duty.
