EDWIN ABBEY's NEW PAINTINGS.
Decorative Panels for Harrisburg Capi
 fo1 on Exhibition.

From the New York Tribune.
 London.-Edwin A. Abbeys new deco rative panel, "Valley Forge" which will be exhibited at the Academy, Is designed for the senate chamber at Harrisburg, Pa. It repreents Baron Steuben drilling a dozen continentals in ragged uniforms of blue, brown, buff and red. The sol- diers are in two files. those in front kneel- ing to fire their muslSets and those behind in field of snow and the baron in a German uniform of blue and red with two officers of the Revolutionary army standing beside him. Washington himself
 Is not in the picture, but the house which was used as his headquarters is seen in the distance. A forlorn supply train sug- gests the horrors of starvation in the camp.
 The panel is highly decorative with it's beautiful arrangement of blues, browns and reds against the expanse of snow; the attitude of the soldiers is full of ac- ton and the composition is conspicuous for breadth and harmony The German element was almost as prominent in the original settlement of Pennsylvania as that of the Qualkers and for the benefit |oe the Germans descendants Baron Steuben, the inspector general of the mu- tinous and despairing army, after it's de- feats at Brandywine and Germantown, is converted into an heroic figure to coun- teract the baleful memories of the Hes sians fighting on the enemy's side. The recognized files of starved continentals, drilled in the snowdrifts, have in them the promise of their potency at York town.
 There will be picture of "Gettysburg" as companion piece in the Senate cham Der 'Penn's Treaty with the lndians, much larger panel, for the House of Representatives, will be exhibited at the Academy, but not the big picture of "The Signing of the Declaration of Independ- ence,' which will not be finished until autumn.

Gives Skin to. Save Child

That all the heroes are not found on the battlefield is evidenced by the act Of Karl Acton. the strapping son of Dr. J. T. Acton of this city, who has Just barred his body and gone under the knife in an Atlanta hospital In an effort to save the life of little Evelin Glover, who was slowly dying as result of burns sus- tained at the home or her parents, Mir and Mrs. R. H. Glover, of Newman, Ga-, the child being Q first cousin of R. A. Hamrick of the Elam- -Hamrick Drug com pany in this city.
 MT. Acton has been hunting with his father in Florida for several weeks and was in the pink of condition when his at tention was called to the condition of the chil6 by want ad. in an Atlanta paper, stating that unless successful grating operation was performed the child must needs die. A large sum of money was of- fered to any person who would give up tEeir skin for the operation. MT. Acton, however, declined to accept pay for his services. q have no skin to sell" he said to the parents. but If 1 may save the life of your child I shall be satisfied" He was placed on the operating table and for three hours while under the influence of chloroform the skin was peeled from his legs and back. He is today resting well and writes cheerfully to his father every day.
 Neither of the parents of the child was strong enough to undergo the ordeal of sacrifice An uncle volunteered for the service, but as he was in poor health he was deemed ineligible MT. Acton was un- known to the child and his sacrifice was purely one in the interest of humanity.
