 Chief Post Office Inspector Disii1l of Cincinnati in charge of a corps of inspectors, is assisting Sheriff Taylor and city police officials in running down clues.
 '.In taking this step we are only following what has been done in other cities. While can not say positively offhand it is my impression that Waterbury, New London and Stamford pay their aldermen.

D. Roth. There are other etchers of
the American school who, whether
members or not, would have been well
come. Nevertheless, so far as it goes,
and despite the, inclusion of good
deal that is negligible, this exhibition
has vitality and gives reasonable ac-
count of the art as it stands with u.s.
At the Duval gallery there are some
thirty odd dry points and etchings by
Mr.. Walter Title, portraits of Senator
Harding, Charles Dana Gibson, Henri
Caro-Delvaille and a number Of per-
sonalities of the stage. They are the
work of an uncommonly well equipped
artist. Mr.. Title has, to begin with,
q good conception OF portraiture He
conveys forcible impressions of his
sitters, and, while leaving the latter
plenty of freedom as regards pose or
gesture, he contrives to secure q GER
tain pictorial unity. He is a good
craftsman, too, swiftly expressive,
and he adds to this a true feeling for
the spirit of his instrument His por-
traits have character and they have

shared his interest in problems of
light. The Frenchman is the more
familiar. Boudin's paintings have long
been known here. Though he has never
ranked among the most renowned mem
bers of his. group he has always been
warmly appreciated, especially for the
! delicate precision of his studies of
shipping. He could paint landscape and
cattle, doing justice to both subjects,
and In one of the canvases here, the
picture of the marketplace at Trou-
Vile, he even shows his skill In define
alton of the figure. But the special
note in his art Is found in those nu-
merous little paintings of his which
record the beauty of great sailing ships
lying at anchor in French ports, ships
painted not so much for their canvas
as for their ropes and spars. He was
an incompatible master of rigging
bringing into his work play of line
as fascinating as that of good etcher
There is, withal, delightful breadth in
his studies. There are a dozen of them
! in this exhibition, all good to see, but
| as it happens there is little less ex-
citement in them than there is in the
more numerous paintings and water
colors by Jongkind. We do not often
have an opportunity like this to OBJ
serve the art of one of the most noted
Of modern Dutchmen.
The defnitive establishment of i'm
pressionism, if not it's invention, will
always be associated with the name of
Claude Monet. But criticism will al
ways be attracted by the manifestation
of the principle in the works of other
masters, some of them far antedating
him. 1t has been asserted that Velas-
que2 was the first impressonist. An
instinct for the great secret has also
been attributed to the eighteenth CEN
tury Venetian, Guardi. Jongkind is
another type who had an independent
inspiration, filing his designs with a
luminosity to be ascribed not to the
tradition of the school, but to his own
innate feeling for the phenomena of
nature. ne was porn IN lSZZ. mere
are pictures in the Durand-Ruel exhibi-
ton, painted in the early SOS, which
show that he was master of light even
earlier than Monet was. 1t is interest
ing to observe, too, that Jongkind's
range was from the start extraordi-
narily wide. He understood moonlight
as well as sunlight, and ne could inter-
pret also, as witness the "Port de Hon
heur," dated 1864, cool Hmpid light,
having a place by itself in the scale.
He never suggests, as Monet so often
does, the experimental theorist. In his
choice of subject, for example, Monet,
with his haystacks, cathedrals, poplars
and bridges, painted each in series
under changing conditions of light, some
times seems both scientist and artist,
the doctrinaire playing game to en-
force given principle. Jongkind might

Prints
The Brooklyn Society of Etch-
ers and Some Others

The new Brown Robertson gallery in
Madison Avenue is inaugurated with an
exhibition organized by the Brooklyn
Society of Etchers. A collection of
more than two hundred prints is
shown, interesting not because it con-
tains any notably salient thing, but
because so many of the artists repre-
Sented in it are competent craftsmen.
A good average in this art is no small
mercy. The etcher of original distinc-
ton is rare anywhere, at any time.
Let us be grateful for work that is
we'll done, with some SAVIOR of individ-
uality. Now and then this exhibition

Mrs. Marion Gray Traver has at the
Schwartz gallery collection of about
thirty monotypes. She composes her
winter scenes rather conventionally,
and gets out of them some pleasant
color. A weakness lies in the over
doing of the subjects; she crowds too
many details into her monotypes. But
it is plain from the best of them, "An-
1ther Storm Coming" that she knows
how to simplify when she chooses.
