FRENCH BUY ANOTHER ]
PAINTING BY LACHMAN
The Valley Of Grand Andely'
Is Refused by Carnegie
Institute.
Uy wytLe N'IIlIam..

PARIS. Oct. lG.--An Incident oc-
Cured yesterday tina, may rank in
the art world with the purchase by.
the French government some years
ago OF MacMonnics' famous nude
statue OF Il Bacchantc after It's re.
fusal Ey the Boston Library. or the
even earlier purchase by the same
authorities OF Whistler's masterpiece,
the portrait OF his mother. after Its
turn-down In the United States.
Purchnsc Lnchmnn's PuInInr.
The present affair Is the purchase
of Harry Lachman's painting. "Tha
valley Of Grand Andely." which was
made yesterday by PauI Leon. Min
lister of Fine Arts. The point OF
similarity of this with the two cases
above cited is that the painting re-
turned to Paris only two days ago
a day before the opening OF the
American painters exposition at the
Bernhcim Gallery--from a years alb
scncc in the United States. 1t was
sent to the United States upon the
invitation Of the Carnegie institute to
be shown at their last exhibition n nd
was then turned down by jury. The
principal point lacking in comparison
with the MacM onnies case is that
Lachman's work cannot he charged
a. LeiHE iIiHiOIt!, ikS WAS the Bac-
ohante. for 1t Is a large. sunny land
scapc OF the Seine valley. This artist
has never INDUCED in figure painting
in his life.
Same Man Buys All.
The same man who obtained the
Bacchante and Whistlers portrait for
France accompanied the Minister Of
Fine Arts to the Lachman exposition
yesterday. He is Leonce Benedite,
curator Of the Luxembourg. In which
gallery the landscape will be hung.
Lnchman will thus have four pictures
at the Luxembourg and one in the
Petit Palace, which total in the pos
sion OF the French government is
more than that OF any other foreign
painter.
Lachman made little comment on
the affair beyond an expression Of
pleasure that some one seemed to
appreciate the picture finally" He
added that he did not foist II upon
tho Carnegie jury: that II was sent
over on their own request. and that
he had been months trying to get Il
again into his own possession. He
said they assigned no reason for their
refusal to expedite It but they merely
turned II down fat" Lachman will
take the entire collection now at
Bernheims TO America at the end OF
October, and has requested the
French authorities TO lend him the
picture bought yesterday 'in order
TO take II along so the Americans
can Judge for themselves whether It
ls any good"

ar. l.. LEE"
Lees prophecy was made at n time
when the future OF william and Mary
offered little to the beholdcr. For
all practical purposes the college was
seemingly dead. Senator George T..
Hoar, visiting the grounds a few
years later. was touched by the
tragic scene, the pathos of tho de-
serted campus and the Eray-haircd
president. Benjamin Eweli. nppcalin.
TO him. In an address at Harvard
In 1856, at the celebration of the
250th anniversary of Harvard Col
lcge. Senator Ioar said:
salutcd Him From Harvard.
The stout-hcarted old president
still rings the morning bell and keeps
the charter alive; and | want to So
lutte him today from Harvard. and l
should value 1t more than any pub
lie honor or private good fortune
that could come To me IL might
live to see that old historic college
of Virginia endowed anew with lib
eral aid OF the sons OF Harvard"
Soon afterward DR.. Dawson. the
Federal Commissioner OF Education
expressed the sentiment original,
uttered by General Lee, in n letter
TO Colonel Ewefl, writing:
