-l 10 ART IN WASHINGTON. tfhe Day Hot far Distant When Will Supplant Kew York as ARBITER IN THINGS AESTHETIC. iff Artists of tho Capital Who Have Already i Wen Themselves Fame. PBOGRESS IX THE CORCORAN SCHOOL tcoKsrsFOXDEXcx or Tire DisrATcn.i "WASHnrGTON, May L Though "Wash ington is not an "art center" as ret, it has & rery interesting group of artists, and in those days soon to come, when aesthetics will told as sturdy sway at the Xational capital as politics and display of wealth, more than one of this group will find his name in scribed high upon the rolls of artists nation ally famous. Xet a little while and we shall have our national gallery of art. "When it comes it will bpeedilr take rank with the great col lections oi the world, so far as it is possible in this day when the great pictures of other periods are so rarely to be acquired at any price. America does not do things by halves, and when once a repository for such treasures is provided, money will be poured out lavishly to hasten the accumulation, of one of the great collections of the world. Already we have in tho Corcoran gallery the collection second in interest and import ance in America; t lie JNetr lork gallery 1 only excelling it ilore interesting than either are some of the private collections of wealthy men, but as these are for the most part hid from tne eyes of the world they do not count. THE COBCORAU ABT SCHOOL. Tn connection with the Corcoran gallery there is a new art school, the building erected and the school endowed by the late "W. W. Corcoran. Every available place is filled, the students numbering nearly 100. The master is Mr. E. F. Andrews, who has painted many portraits of well-known Pitts burgers, and whose other portraits are in the "White House, in nearly every other public building and in many of the noted residences of the city. Mr. Andrews is a native of Bteubenville, O., has studied much abroad, is an enthusiast, a fine critic to whose judg ment the purchase of the best pictures in the gallery collection are due. He has a beau tiful residence on Sixteenth street, close to Scott circle, and adjoining his residence the prettiest studio in the. city. Under his tuition the students of the Corcoran school who hare talent are making wonderful progress, and among them are several of great promise. By the way, the trustees of the Corcoran gallery have at last arranged to open the gallery one evening in the week, free to everybody. At great expense incandescent lights have been introduced, and the pic tures arc seen to good advantage. I sin cerely hope it will soon be concluded to open the gallery on Sundays as well, when it may be seen Dy the ha'rdworked people who are too tired to go on a work-day even ing. "WATER COLOR CELEBRITIES. Two water colorists of "Washington have already gained a national reputation. "W.(l u. uuiiun ja Bittdja a wuicuuie exmillior t at the salons of the "Water Color Society, and his pictures sell readily at good figures. He lias an elegant residence and studio on Meridian Hill, overlooking the city, where he has a fascinating collection of his own work and that of other noted artists. J. H. Moser, .who has been devoting himself solely to water colors during the last two years, has had almost unprecedented success. His pictu.es are much in demand among dealers of Kew York and Boston, and sell at good prices at all the exhibition1;. He paints delicious little "impressions" with great facility, and some ot his sketches are marvels ot color and atmosphere in water color. Just now he is engaged in the venture of an exhibi tion and sale on his own accountat Fischer's art rooms. Such sales have usually been failures here, but Moser's star is in the as cendant, for during the first few days of the exhibit the sales amounted to more than $1,000, and among the purchasers were pub lic notabilities, who know a good thing when they see it, and buy only what is good. I fancy everyone interested in art in Pitts burg has seen and loved the landscapes of Max Weyl. I do not hesitate to say that in faithful portrayal of nature, alike de lightful in color, tone and composition, "Weyl's landscapes have no superior among American artists. "Weyl was an artistic journevman jeweler by trade. During the .Rebellion s German of noble family, who joined the Union army, stopped at t&e little hotel where Weyl lived. The German was a fine amiteur artist, and in return for "Weyl's services as English teacher and in terpreter, gave him a few lessons in paint-. Ing. Weyl became infatuated with art, neglected his trade, abandoned all FOE HIS KEW MISTRESS, ' struggled with poverty and debt, but with a stout heart kept on, and even managed to take a sketching tour abroad. .Now his worth is recognized. Artists and connois seurs look upon him as already great and la nous to be. In the Vernon building on "the avenue," he has the quaintest stndio in "Washington. He works almost entirely out of doors, however, and to this is probably due his remarkablv realistic impressions of nature. At the exhibitions of the'' National Academy and the Society of American Art ists, his landscapes arc lound almost invari ably "on the line," and rank with the best. Though their wealth and freedom of treat ment still carry tbem beyond the slow de velopment of the popular taste, which to a deplorable extent clings to the old, or chromo, school. Senor da Costa, ex-Mmis-ter ot Brazil, a noted connoisseur, and the possessor of a remarkable collection, is an enthusiastic admirer of Weyl, aul has pur chased liberally of his pictures. He has predicted to me that within a few years "Weyl will be acknowledged as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of American landscape painters. Senor Don Jose Benedicte Correa, a handsome Spanish-South American, is one of the most successful of "Washington artists. He came to America and fell into a period of "hard luck" bv a most romantic chain of circumstances, and by stern necessity was forced to put to use what he had learned from an eminent artist of Ecuador merely as an accomplishment of a gentleman's son. Almost at the point of starvation at a time when he could speak scarcely a word ot English, too proud to let his friends or countrymen into the secret of his misfor tunes, he fought down all the opposing fates and is now a really rich artist, with money in bank aud extensive investments in real estate. He gets high prices for his portraits and figure pieces, and has painted many large and expensive religious canvases, for the1 walls of Catholic institutions of the citv. A creat business head has my friend Don Jose, as well as a tacile brush, and he well deserves his brilliant success. A MASTER IN PORTRAITS. S. Jerome Uhl, one of the strongest of America's portrait painters, the painter from lite of the portraits of President Cleve land, Judge Shellabarger and many others, with sublime faith in the future of Washing ton as a home ot art, has decided to plant himself here, after many seasons abroad and in various cities of America. No artist in America produces more striking and life-like portraits. 2fear Uhl's studio in "Vernon building is that other attractive one of the rising young painters McDonald, fresh lrom Paris, full ot grand imaginations and already at work on a series of remarkable studies. Adjacent also is the studio of Dunbar, the sculptor, frequently mentioned in these columns as the producer oi busts ol noted public men. My purpose in this article was, by brief reference to artists who have won their purs or who are being watched with deep interest by artists and critics, to suggest the extent and importance of the art circle and XeW-:'- JLifci.iStli:. J &&."&, art atmosphere of the capital, as the courier of a great day for art at the capital ot the nation, but I find myself floundering at the end ol the space which I know is all I can have, after having scarcely made a begin ning, having not mentioned at all such charming studios as those of the wealthy artists, Hinckley and Mann; McGrath, whose magnificent architectural water colors are known on both sides of the Atlantic; LeGrand Johnson, who prints landscapes with sheep almost equal to the great Chial iva; George Matthe-vs, whose portraits are widely known; Forsberg, perhaps the most original of all, but too broad and original to be popular; De Lancy Gill, whose charming water colors are scattered the length and breadth of the land, and a score ot other masculines who cannot be named, and fetni nines without number, who must be left for a separate article. TAKING NEW TOKK'S PLACE. I would like to devote a chapter to the Marie Bashkirtseffs of Washington, young women with great talent and consuming it ambition, wholly aosoroeu in art, morbid and desnairintr because they cannot re produce bn cauvas the magnificent creatures of their imagination. But I must be con tent with having merely suggested the vast amount of art m ork accomplished here in the studios, the Corcoran school and the Art League and the recognition here and else where of "Washington artists. The art spirit, the aesthetical enthnsiasm,localized, individualized and distinctive, is rapidly growing. The artists are independent and progressive. They are coming closer together and reaching out obtrusively to wrest from UewYork its position as the arbiter of the name and tortuncs to a great extent ot the artists of the country. A few years more and the chief exhibi tions of American artists will be held in "Washington, where they ou?ht to be, and it will be lound that wheh once the art spirit is awakened the capital will not only possess the most critical but the most lucra tive patronage, for here congregate lor the major part ol the vear, the largest number of those who will naturally become the readiest and most liberal buyers of art works. E. W. Ii. MODELS TOE TUKHELS. Tlie CommlttFO Appointed by Conircn Ex. ntninlng Flans nt Detroit. Detroit, May 1. Major C. J. Allen, of Galveston, Tex.; Major H. M. Adams, of "Washington D. C; and General O. M. Poe, of Detroit, the board of officers of the engineer corps appointed un der the joint resolutions of Con gress to investigate that practicability and approximate cost of tunneling the De troit river, met this morning. The advocates ot several different styles ot tunnels were on band with tracings, models, etc. Dr. Sher man was the first witness and produced models of a tubular tunnel to be built above water and sunk section by section into a trench of the river, so that not more than one quarter would be above ground, the tunnel to be 18 feet in diameter. Dr. Sher man put the cost of tunnel, without esti mating the approaches, at 51,040,000. General L. S. Trowbridee, in behalf of the Detroit Railroad and Tunnel Company, offered to build a tunnel 3,000 leet long, with approaches 6,000 feet long. 20 feet in diameter in the clear, at least 30 feet below low water mark and with an 80-foot grade for 3,500,000; two tunnels for 86.500,000. The tunnel, lor 3,200 feet, would be com posed of a solid combined cast iron tube, and for the rest of the distance of the timber masonry and cement, the whole to be ready within two years. Both suggestions were taken under consideration by the board THE BISHOP'S EUB0PEAH' PEOGEAMME. lie Will Witness tlir I'milon Plnj at Ober Amersnn While Awnj. Et. Rev. Bishop Phelan is preparing for a prolonged European trip. The rules of tbe American provinces of the Catholic Church necessitate a visit to Rome on the part of Bishops, or their representatives, every ten years. The limit of time for Bishop Phelan's visit will not be reached until next year, but the Bishop has decided to take time by the forelock and proceed to Rome this spring. He will start about May 20, and after a two weeks' stay in Rome, will tour in France, Germany and the British Isles. He expects to spend" some time among friends in the south of Ireland and will return to Pittsburg during the summer. The Bishop's Roman visit will in clude a preliminary visit to the Pope, an audience during which certain diocesan re ports, etc., will represented to His Holiness, and a final interview, from which the papal blessing will be conveyed to Pittsburg Catholics. "While in Germany the Bishop will attend the world-famed passion play, which will be performed at Ober-Amergau, in the Bavarian Alps, this year. AEEESTED FOB ELECTI0K FRAUDS.

"Mike" Corcoran, a well-known Democ-atic politician, was arrested this afternoon for alleged complicity in me election irauus in ine xwenty-iourtn ward. He at once gave bonds in tbe sum of $10,000 and was released. His case was continued until June 9. At the same time Frank Pierce, one of the alleged conspirators, was arrested, and in delault of $2,001) bail went to jail. A. Northrop &. Co.'s Nfit Circular All About rnnelrd Iron Celtincs, If you are building, send stamp for this circular. If you are repairing a building, send for it If you have anv rooms with old broken plastered ceilings, or old, decayed and open jointed wood ceilings, send for it. Our patent paneled iron ceilings have been before the public for the last eight or ten years, and now there are thousands in use, scattered all over the Union, in stores, banking offices and hotels, while its superior acoustic properties has brought it into ex tensivedemand (orchurcb.es, halls and opera houses. Its low cost and cleanliness intro duces it into schools and asylums. And now the increasing demand for something to take the place of plaster for residence ceilings, something thai would gratily the artistic taste of our most cultivated house wives, and still be permanent and endur ing, and thus save them the constant annoy ance and expense ot re-plastering and re papering; something that could be applied over the old broken plastered ceilings with out being compelled to take down and re move the dirt and dust-covering stuff, has prompted us to bring out these beautiiul designs ol embossed metal plates. These embossed plates are adapted to side walls as well as ceilings, working up beautifully into wainscoting, frieze and field. Ab all figures and designs are in relief, really very little brush decoration is needed. " They are, however, susceptible of any desired de gree of ornamental decoration irom simple, quiet tinting to the most elaborate and or nate display ot coloring, gilding and bronz ing, giving abundant scope lor display of taste and talent to our most gifted decora tive artists.
