but for the preservation of many of the
finest works. That he bought because
he was really lover of art and that he
found enormous pleasure in. such ac-
QUESTION is not 10 be doubted. He was.
moreover. one of the earliest collectors
to anticipate the great future for
American art. and he was one of the
most Intelligent and consistent of its
patrons.
When he had filled his house to over
flowing with the pictures he had pur-
chased he removed the largest canvases
to his store, on 18th street. New York
city. and hung them on the walls wher-
ever space was available. One does
not as a rule expect to look up from a
bargain counter sale to great paint
ing by Winslow Homer or by Sir Joshua
Reynolds or by some other of no less
distinction. but this was the experience
which the patrons of Mr.. Hearns store
enjoyed for many years. How many
realized the privilege ii would be hard
to say. but certainly the employees of
the establishment took pleasure and
pride in the paintings
Mr.. Hearn not only enjoyed collect
ing works of art. but also took delight
in sharing them. He was very gener-
Gus in making loans. and his gifts are
we'll known and munificent. Besides
giving the Metropolitan Museum an ex-
ceptional collection of American paint
ings. he established in memory of his
son a permanent fund for the purchase
of works by American artists whereby
the Hearn collection in the Metropolis
interest and the best artists of the
country fair representation.
Mr. Hearn was great admirer of
British art and had exceptionally fine
examples of the works of contemporary
British artists in his collection Hang
ing on the wall of his little Office at
his 14th street store some years ago
was most interesting and excellent
landscape by D. Y. Cameron, the well
known Scotch etcher, purchased at a
time when Mr.. Cameron was very little
known in this country.
Thirty-one small bronzes by A. Phi
mister Proctor are now on view at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art. This collec-
ton comprises reductions of the buffaloes
on the Q street bridge and the tigers
on the Piney Branch bridge in this city,
as well as other noted works.
By birth Mr.. Proctor is a Canadian.
but he has long resided in this country.
For number of years he lived in the
Rocky mountains. making at first hand
"a study of wild animals. Realizing,
however. the need of training in order
to find adequate expression, he went to
New York in 1887 and entered the classes
of the National Academy of Design. Be-
ing awarded the Rinehart scholarship,
he went to Paris for five years of study
At the Paris exposition in 1900 his
panthers kept guard at the entrance of
the Place de la Concorde In 1904 he
was elected a member of the National
Academy of Design.
His work is strong and at the same
time intelligent. 1t has both vigor and

of his best known works, is full of
stealth and intensity, the crouching ami

tight drawn as it creeps stealthily upon

The Corcoran Gallery of Art has pur-
chased for its permanent collection. at
the sale of the George A. Hearn colIec-
ton in New York. a painting by Theo-
dore Robinson entitled Girl Sewing"
The purchase price was $4,000.
Theodore Robinson was born in Yer
mont in 1925 and died in New York in
1895 He studied in Paris under Caro-
lus-Duran and Gerome. For four years
from 1884 to 1883, he painted with
Monet at Giverny. Coming thus under
the influence of the great inpressionist
Robinson's work gave expression to
, impressionistic tendencies. but he never
wholly accepted the impressionists
theories. nor did he adopt to any great
extent the use of broken color
Upon his return to America he paint
ed for some time landscapes in the Del
aware and Hudson river valleys, but he

for his paintings of figures out of doors.

the Corcoran Gallery has acquired
Girl Sewing pictures young peasant
woman seated in chair under an apple
tree. The figure is seen at full length
and almost in profile. The young wom-
ans bodice is light gray blue and the
age of the apple tree make agreeable
setting.
In 1891 Mr. Robinson won the webb
prize for a winter landscape shown in
the annual exhibition of the National
Academy of Design, and in 1892 the
Shaw prize of $1,000 was awarded to
him for figure painting entitled I'm
the Sun"
shortly after Mr.. Robinson's death
in 1896 one of his pictures was offered
as a gift to the Metropolitan Museum.

 Every year hundreds of newspa- pers reproduce Professor Moore's poem and the New York Sun editor ial. For years after the answer to Virginia's letter appeared, it was thought to have been written by Charles A. Dana, editor of the Sun. It was not until 1906, when Francis Pharcellus Church, leading editorial writer on the Sun, died that, instead of an obituary, the Sun printed the famous editorial, giving MT. Church credit as the writer. Mr. Church was the first editor and publisher of the Army and Navy Journal. He also es- tablished and edited "The Galaxy.
