Bear hunter—“Goin’ round the mountain to head him off.” there's the bear! Where are ART AND ARTISTS. The most important picture that Mr. Ed- mund Clarence Messer is now working upon is a view near Paxson, Va., painted upon a large canvas. The motive is an excellent one,and with scarcely any alteration makes a most pleasing composition. In the fore- grovnd is a broad meadow, across which a little brook has worn its way, leaving an irregular ditch with many intersecting gul- lies, and in the middle distance several tall trees add to the dignity cf the landscape. The sky is of a misty blue, with here and there flecks of rose-colored cloud. The en- tire scene is enveloped in the softened light which is peculiar to those days where the sun shines but faintly through the haze. The picture is painted in a very quiet, sober key, and is a very Mteral transeript of the actual scene. Mr. Messer has recently acquired a remarkably fine pastel portrait wFich the late Benoni Irwin made of him some years ago, and all the artists who have seen it have praised it without stint, both on account of the execution and on account of the likeness. * xo Mr. Harold L. Macdonald has recently finished a figure study which he has been making with reference to a large painting to be called “Art Mourning Over Dead Civilization.” In the pastel study, which he kas been making, Art, represented by a female figure, clad in green drapery, is seated in an attitude of profound sorrow with her chin resting on her hand. As might ke expected, the drawing is firm and strong, und the coloring extremely ef- fective. Im another sketch, which gives an idea of the entire composition, the back- ground is shown as a desolate waste with ruined tempies lit up by the blood red glare of the setting sun. * * OK Among the pictures recently added to the collection of old English masters that has been on exhibition for some time at Fisch- er’s, the portrait of Chas. Earl Gray by Sir Thomas Lawrence is particularly fine. The features are cleanly cut, and the face, which is of a highly aristocratic type, is painted with broad telling strokes. A can- yas upon the opposite wall, the portrait of Chas. James Fox by Sir Joshua Reynolds, shows an entirely different English type and is handled in a very different, though no less masterly, manner. The coloring of the picture is warm and rich, and the scar- let drapery which serves as a background, gives it an added brilliancy. “The Old Mill, Norwich,” by Joseph Stannard, is one of the best of the landscapes included in the collection. Besides the early En- glish paintings, there are several other pic- tures tat have recently been placed on view at Fischer's. Two of these are land- scapes, one by Cazin and the other by Wyant. The latter is a small wood interior with a vista in the center, through which a glimpse of distance is caught, and is painted in the warm brown and russet tones that are quite characteristic of the artist. Perhaps the most striking of the new pictures is a study by Mihaly de Mun- kaesy for e large picture depicting the last moments of Mozart. The sketchy style in which it is painted, if anything, adds to the strength and boldness of the study. * ** The most important canvases that Mr. Robert Hinckley has done lately are the portraits of Gen. Schofield, Admiral Porter, Gen. Sherman and Judge Davis, which were hung in the Metropolitan Club a short time ago. Since the completion of those paintings he has been working upon a portrait of Col. Ernst of West Point and upon a likeness of Dr. Thomas Chatard. ‘The latter is a three-quarter-length figure and shows Dr. Chatard seated in an e posture with one hand resting on the arm of his chair. It is a very strong portrait, and Mr. Hinckley thinks of sending it to the exhibition of the society, which opens at the Cosmos Club on April5. He Is now at work upon the design for a door hang- ing, and the subject is one that will de- light the many admirers of the “hub. Boston, represented by a statuesque figure in white, is being crowned by a graceful figure clad in tioating red drapery, and be- neath the painting is the legend, “B! toniae gloria.” The border of autumn leaves which surrounds the central compo- tion helps to make the decorative scheme a pleasing one. * x * Mr. R. Le Grand Johnston is busying himself with a large cattle picture, which he plens to send to the centennial exposi- tion at Nashville, Tenn. He is also pre- paring for his annual exhibition at Fis- cher’s, which will open on March 1 and continue for two weeks. His exhibition promises to be more than usually good, and the paintings will be to a great extent direct studies from nature. * Beginning Mcnday ana lasting for sev- eral days there will be an interesting ex- hibition of china painting on view at 1206 G street. Several of the specimens that are to be shown are by Prof. Franz Schwartz, whose skill in ceramic decoration is well known here. A vase that will at- tract considerable attention ts the work of Miss Georgie Robertson. Green and gold are the predominating colors in this ar- tistic piece of work, and upon the sides are two oval spaces containing decorations in monotint, one showing a view of the Eheinstein castle and the other illustrat- ing the old legend of the Lorlei. * ** Mr. E. C. Peixoto, who has been in the city for a month or more making drawings of the new Congressional Library for Scribner's, has about finished his task, and has a very fine portfolio of illustrations. Thougn he does considerable work in wash, a large proportion of his drawings are made in pen and ink, a medium of which he has a very thorough knowledge. He is very skillful In handling detail, knowing when to simplify and when to leave out en- tirely. This is noticeable in the study he has recently been making of the corridor containing Simmons’ decorations. In_ his drawing of the west main entrance hall he encountered a rather difficult problem, the translation of the vividly colored decora- tlcns into their proper values in black and white, but the result which he reached is highly successful. * * * The decorations which Henry Oliver Walker has painted for the Congressional Library are now in position in the first floor corridor south of the west main en- trance hall. The general scheme of Mr. Walker’s series is poetical, and in the large lunette, which was the first to be placed in position, the central figure repre- sents Lyric Poetry, and the attendant fig- ures personify Mirth, Beauty, Passion, Pathos, Truth and Devotion. The panel at the opposite end.of the hall contains four beautiful female figures representing Memory and Joy. On a tablet between the two groups these words are inscribed: “The poets who have made us heirs of truth and pure delight by heavenly lays.” Along the sides of the corridor are six panels containing some of the characters which have inspired the ts, Keats’ “Iin- dymion,” Tennyson’s “Ganymede,” Emer- son's “Uriel,” Shakespeare's “Adonis,” Mil- ton’s ‘“Comus” and Wordsworth’s “Boy of Winander.” In all of the artist’s designs there is a certain grace and beauty in drawing, which, combined with the har- monious coloring, make the series of paint- ings a most pleasing one. Mr. Walker's style is not very vigorous, but there ts a quiet beauty in his work that will win many friends. Now that his paintings have been placed in position, Vedder's Mosaic ‘of Minerva remains the only important feat- ure of the color decoration that has not arrived. a * * The brorze doors which Frederick Mac- Monnies Las designed for the central door- way of the west entrance have arrived, and will be put in place in a short time. * * * Mr. George Gibbs has been working upon several pasfels, and among these is a view of the deck of a small vessel on a foggy morning. He ts thoroughly at home in everything relating to the sea, and has represented the pitching of the boat and the swash of the waves in an admirable manner. Another marfne which he has re- cently done is a very‘quick surf sketch, and he has been very.quccessful in giving movement to the wai Besides his work in color he has been busy with a num- ber of illustrations in black and white. He has also finished the tllustration which he haz been makingJof a famous dinner which Washington ageeded in Alexandria. 3 * At the meeting of the Society of Wash- ington Artists, which was held on Tuesday at Mr. Dunbar’s ‘studio, three new mem- bers were elected=Mr. Frank Moss, Mr. Carl Gutherz and Mr. Robert Coleman Child. The plan of having a short taik by one of the members at every meetin was favorably voted and it is pro! able that this innov: will add much to the interest of t herings. A liter- ary committee, considting of Mr. Brooke, Mr. H. H. Nichols and Mr, Gibbs, was ap- pointed, and these members will have charge of the arrangement of the pro- gram. * * * Artists who have been invited to send exhibits to the Tennessee centennial expo- sition are expected to forward their appii- cations for space at once to Nashville and to leave notice at _Veerhoft’s when pictures may be collected for shipment, the last day being March 15. The committee appointed to pass upon the work submitted will meet at Veerhoff’s March 16. —_—.—__ UNIVERSITY NOTES Columbian University.

I was first taken with what was thought to have been dyspepsia. Then my kidneys gave me great trouble, apd, oh, I suffered untold misery. “I can’t tell you what was the matter with me, but I Luow that for eight years I suffered from tortures almost indescribable.
