here lies in substituting for the present

CUPPLEMENTING Mr. Wiley's lecture,
- an exhibition of photographs of
paintings, by not only the great Barbi-
zon painters, but their predecessors and
successors, has been arranged In the
upper hall of the Public Library, where
for some weeks it will be on view.
Photographs, lacking color. are poor sub
stitutes for the originals, but they give

decorative. His works have tone. even
the least complete. and If they are some

1t is not from the use Of bitumen, but the
transcription Of deep. transparent shadow.
That he was imaginative and an expert
menter Is plainly to be seen. but that he
was a profound student is no less mani
fest. To students Of art this exhibition
is especially revealing. 1T will continue
until the last day Of the month-that is, a
week from tomorrow.
A T the Public Library Monday evening
the last of the series of lectures
given during the season under the aus
pices of the Washington Society of the
Fine Arts was delivered by Edwin Wiley
Of the Library Of Congress. The subject
was 1.-The Landscape Painters Of the Bar
bizon School, and in illustration were
shown numerous stereopticon slides rep
resenting the works Of several artists.
Mr. Wiley told first of the influences
which led up to the development of the
Barbizon School, which was, he explained.
not school after all. but an almost
accidental grouping Of painters. OF
Rousseau, Dupre and Diaz he spoke sepa-
rately and at some length, explaining
their individual characteristics But at
greater length he dwelt upon Corot and
>lillet Wasting little time on meaning
less details Of Corot's life, Mr.. Wiley de-
scribed his temperament, reading as wit
ness to his love Of nature that most
beautiful letter in which the painter pic
lures exquisitely with words sunrise
and sunset. The influence of music
which is felt in Corot's art was inter-
estingly brought to attention. With Mil
let strength Of character was dwelt
upon and emphasis placed upon the joy
he found in his art, rather than the
hardships which insufficient income
brought upon him. God pity the man
who pities Millet," was quoted as voic-
ing the sentiment not only of CO.
temporary, but the real "seers" of all
ages.

charge while Horace Havemeyer. the only
son of the late sugar king" and one Of
the defendants. was on the stand.
The suit is over the issuance Of s1OO)O,C00
