II IL not only the presence OF unusu-
ally fine examples OF the etched work or
Rembrandt that makes the exhibition
now on view at the Keppel galleries
noteworthy: it is also the recognition OF
tho comfortable limit Of the average
visitors roceptivity of impression from
any aggregation of art works. When
person Of ordinary familiarity with
prints enters a room filled with fine ex-
ampIes he must and does perform
measure BILE amount of work in perceiv-
ing and appreciating them. II there be
so many that the faculty is either tired
or sated. then the effect OF the collection
is minimzed or perhaps neutralized.
With this in mind. the arrangers OF this
Rembrandt show have catslogued only
sixty prints. and have actually hung not
much more than half that number, the
rest being in portfolios. The result is a
concentration OF the visitors attention
upon relatively few objects and cor
responding enjoyment of the treasures of
expressive art put forward for him.
The first, middle and last periods, TO
adopt the usual grouping of Rembrandts
work, are all represented and by prints
that are in many cases Of the first rank,
IS TO the quality Of the impressions from
the plate. The brilliance OF this ex-
ample of the very rare picture that Rem
brandt made of a bit of perfect natural
beauty, The Shell" may be cited as
typical specimen The velvet browns
and the pearIy whites, with the several
gradations between that meet the gaze
of the observer Of this noteworthy print,
are not to be easily forgotten. When
the impression from the copper plate is
as good as this. the artists purposeful
design and the quiet energy of his draw
ing count at their utmost. There is no
affectation about the desirability Of fine
Notwithstanding less than print in
which the lines are as thick or as thin

principal museums and art galleries in
America. In scandinavian countries the
sypport given to national art and artists
is so vigorous that not many Of their
PAINTERS have crossed the frontiers, eX-
cept TO reap a harvest Of medals In Ger
many and nearby countries. Now. how
ever. according to the plans Of the pro-
noters of this undertaking. there will be
a systematic showing here of what the
men of to-day in Norway. Sweden and
Denmark are doing.
Anders Zorn is the shining light Of
Scandinavian art, but he is looked upon
by his fellow Swedos as a tri1e cosmo-
politan. much in the same way that the
Russian composers Of his time regarded
Tschaikowsky. In the same measure,
however, that Tschakowsky's music
seems Russian to nom Russian hearers,
the painting. Of Zorn appears to those
without Scandinavian affiliations to be
thoroughly in keeping with the character
and spirit of the North. Even in the
. sreest- and most sensitive of his paintings
and etehings there is touch OF under
living stringency a hint Of something
rigid and inexorable. In the picture by
Zorn reproduced on this page. The
Bather,' ne Of the best canvases in the
collection Of Miss Emile Grigsby, now
to be seen at the Anderson Galleries, one
gets a Whit of Northern air and sug-
gestion Of the keen chill of the sea and
the grim solidity Of the rocky coast. Yet
this is a tenderer mood than Zorn some
times INDUCES IN. This picture alone is
worth a visit TO the Anderson Galleries
prior TO the sale Of the Grigsby colec-
tlon, which. as stated in the review of her
possessions printed here a few days ago
will take place during the week Of Jan

At last the pictures by Walter
Greaves. the recently rediscovered Eng
lish painter, Of whom London made
sensation last summer, have been
brought to this CITY and placed on view
at the Cottier galleries. They include
some two score Of his canvases and
about thirty drawings in the latter Of
which the work was done by Henry as
well as Walter Greaves. and jointly
signed. The early production Of "Hain-
mersmith Bridge on Boat Race Day.
done before Greaves was twenty and
before whistler's spell was placed upon
him. is here. and so is the striking and
unusual portrait OF his sister, Miss Alice
GTeaves. better known to the artist as
"Tinnie. Both these are illustrated on
this page.
The first question the average New
York lover of art who sees these pairt-
ings and drawings is likely to ask Is
Why they ever reused the furor that
greeted them in London. Frankly. had
these pictures had for their '-ubjects
some quaint corner Of New YORK. or
Berlin or Vienna. instead Of old Chelsea
and the Thames. IL may be doubted that
there would have been any furry oNer
them. Again, the uncommorly appeal
ing story Of the long neglected and al
ways modest painter, the pupil OF WRIST
ler-cne might almost say the victim OF
that unique personage--was enough 10
inject the note of hero worship into the
situation. The British public loves

Theodore Roosevelt made his first
speech in Senator La Follette's state
here today. He was not scheduled to
talk but when the train stopped on
the way from Minneapolis to Chicago
the ex-president found a large crowd
waiting at the station. 40 he went to
the rear platform of his special car
and talked for ive minutes.
I'm not going to make a political
speech" said the colonel to the crowd.
He spoke of the homogenity Of the peo-
pie and Of the importance of giving
them their own say in the government.
The colonel got a hearty cheer when
he wound up wishing the people Of
Wisconsin good luck
Roosevelt had made up his mind at
the start Of the trip not to talk poll
tics In La Follette's state. Roosevelt
left here at 10 o'clock for Chicago. He
will reach Detroit late this afternoon.
He will make no speeches on the way.

BOSTON, Mass, March 30.-A de-

Mrs. Cusumano and Mascioli were
convicted OF the murder OF the WON
ans husband. The crime was con-.
mitted in Hull in September. 1910. A
few weeks after the disappearance OF
Cusumano his body was found on the
shore and an autopsy disclosed that
he was murdered. The trial took
place In the historic town of Plymouth
A number OF witnesses testified, the
most important of whom was the sew.

Cusumano's body was wrapped, as one
that was on her fathers bed. Other
witnesses were Mrs. Cusumano's sis.

Both defendants testified, denying
the crime, but the evidence. such as
the finding Of a blood-stained az. a
hole in the ground near the Cusumano
house and bundle OF blood-stained
clothing belonging to Mrs. Cusumano
was SO strong that the jury found the
pair guilty after short deliberation.
II Is believed there Is little doubt
that the efforts to secure a commu
tation of the woman's sentence will
succeed. II Is the first time in the his
tory Of Massachusetts that a woman
was sentenced to die in the electric
cneir. as 1t is the first time in the
memory Of persons of this generation
that q woman was condemned tc
death In this State. The cases were
