Cured by Funny Stories.

a business man whom | know and
who had fallen into a morbid con-
dition owing to years of overwcrk,
a famous Baltimore physician at
last persuaded his patient to take
course of funny stories, one at
each meal, with an extra two at
dinner. The patient, a solemn and
gloomy fellow, at first rebelled, but,
finally falling in with the idea
adopted the course recommended
and was in the end restored tc
health, the effect of laughter being
entirely to change his mental and
bodily condition.

IN the lecture on American sculpture
given before the Washington Society
of the Fine Arts Wednesday evening Mr..
Lrkeman alluded more than once TO
works in Washington. The Gen. Thomas
by j. Q a. Ward he spoke of as one OF
the best equestrian statues in this coun-
try; Paul Bartlett'S statues of Michel
angelo and Columbus in the rotunda of
the Library of Congress he referred to
with unstinted praise CHASING the former
among the great works which have been
produced in modern times and saying that
in these works Mr.. Bartlett got that es-
sence of art for which every sculptor
strives but rarely achieves. Mr.. Luke
man also mentioned with admiration the
NiehauS statue of Hahnemann and the
Paul Jones' the latter but recently erect
ed. There has been too much destructive
criticism, the lecturer said, and too little
praise, for, he pointed out, American
sculptors have done some things worthy
of permanent preservation-worth in
deed, to be ranked with the great works
of the world-and they have wrought
without traditions and amid adverse con-
ditions. If American sculptors have been
influenced by foreign artists, the influence
of American sculptors has in turn he
insisted, been felt abroad.
Mr.. Lukeman held that Robins innu-
ence had been taneful inasmuch as his
mannerism had been too often mistaken
for his style, and he had therefore had
imitators rather than followers. Attention
was called to certain public buildings
among them the Library of Congress in
this city and the appellate courthouse
In New YORK from to II per cent OF
the total cost of which had been for art,
and an appeal was made to have this the
custom rather than the exception-the
fact being strongly emphasized that it is
the art of d nation that lives and that by
which ii is judged. Mr. Lukeman. in the
course of his lecture, showed about loo
stereopticon slides illustrating the works
of American sculptors from about 1896
to the present day. Some excellent works
of the younger men. whose names are
still scarcely known. were exhibited and
excited much interest. In conclusion Mr..
Lukeman showed a few of his own works,
his soldiers monument for Somerville,
Mass; his Kit Carson for New NIexico,
his Prof. Henry for Princeton.

Y acter has been added this week to that

have, however, been somewhat OverN

IN ~ ington Artists will open an
exhibition of its members
works in the Moore Gallery,
on 18th street. Between forty
and fifty paintings will be shown and
no two will be by the same painter.
This is not the annual exhibition, but
a special show to awaken interest and
hibition will come as usual in the
cycle hall of the Corcoran Gallery of
Art. 1t is not possible to judge fairly
of the merits of an exhibition until
the, exhibits are seen in place. but the
names of those who will contribute
may be mentioned as well as the gem
eral character Of their work.
Mr.. Brooke, president of the society
has sent a landscape painted at East
Gloucester Il very successful canvas
picturing one of the great rocks which
rise from the moors like miniature
mountains and are partly overgrown
with moss and other verdure. At the
loot of the rock is a pool of water
and overhead is gray, showery sky; the
tone is gently tempered and there is
reminiscent note of Holland. Miss
Bertha Perrie also sends a Gloucester
plcture-a view of the little town seen
across the waters of the harbor-a
retlcent and very sympathetic work.
one that would hold it's own in any
exhibition.
Niiiiam L. Silva, vice president of the
society. is represented by winter pic
ture, snow scene painted I'm the
vicinity of Sandy Spring, which is
Characteristic and impressive. Miss
Bertha Noyes sends a figure study of
a little girl, painted out of doors in a
food of sunlight. which is as vital
and refreshing anything of it's kind
one might see. No doubt this was
painted last summer in ProvincetoWn,
where Miss Noyes and several of the
other Washington artists studied under
Charles W. Hawthorne. Miss Lesley
jackson was one of these, and the view
of a Provincetown street which repre-
sents her in this exhibition is no less
vital or convincing. Structurally both
of these paintings are exceptionally
good, but in addition to this it is their
clear, telling color and broad, straight
forward brush work which give them
special distinction. The discovery of
art in the present day is airy sun
shine. 1t is this that both Miss Noyes
and Miss Jackson in their simple
studies have discovered for themselves
and interpreted.
