about twenty landscape drawings in

a speciality of, handling this rather diff

his work to remarkable completeness,

And the murder took place in her

1T did, he admitted.
Had that murder she asked. ANY

have been telling, or rather which you
will not tell me OFF,
The marquis nodded. Without a

The marchioness was again thoughtful.

IRON New York it is learned that MT
William T. Evans has purchased o.
kneedler & Co. an important painting by
Homer D. Martin, THE Iron Mine: Port
Henry" a canvas about thirty by fifty
inches in dimensions, which. while an
early work. is broad and effective. In
the New York Herald the following de-
scription has been given: " The Iron
Mine; Port Henry represents a great
cliff red with hematite. which stands on
the margin Of a small lake, with over
head a blue sky flecked with feecy
clouds. The canvas was painted In 1871
and is one Of the happiest efforts OF the
artist. The rugged surface of the noun
tain of iron is portrayed with almost in
finite exactitude. yet at a distance the
effect is that of a broadly painted pic
ture." Mr.. Evans will come to Washing
ton to superintend the hanging of the
Evans collection in the National Museum
galleries.

THE exhibition Of water colors by Mr..
Anthony Dyer at the Y. G.. Fischer
galleries is attracting much attention and
meeting with great success. Probably
third of the pictures first placed on e1-
hibition have already been sold. Some
of these have been removed and replaced
by others, so from day to day the exhl-
bition has a new aspect
The rather phenomenal interest ta.ea
in Mr. Dyer's paintings may be ac-

by their pictorial charm. and accepted as
conclusive proof that the public is ready
to patronize art when in pleasure-g1v1nS

ing technically sound and artistically at
