This is a prima donna. She is in dress
made by Worth. This is about all the worth
she has, she cannot sing, but she kisses in g
minor. She is performing hymn; some notes
are 60 soft that you cannot hear them. These
are her best notes.

RAPHAEL,S MADONNA.
Reception of the Finest Picture I'm
America, a Picture Worth S2OO,OOO.

An interesting group of persons stood around
small fiat packing box, lying on the table in
Gen. Di CesnOla's Office In the Metropolitan

to obtain the first glimpse In America Of RAJ

Gen. Di Cesnola of the museum; William
Henry Hurlburt, who was mainly instru-
mental in securing the loan from Mr.. But

house, and reporter of the Tribune. The
box seemed very small to contain prop
erty worth 5000, OOO 1t was very securely fas
tened, and it was some time before the paint
ing was exposed to view. Finally, however, the
cover was raised, the cotton surrounding the
treasure was removed, and the most precious
picture in America to-day was before the ewes
OF the spectators. Remembering the pictures by
Raphael seen abroad, one who has not previously
seen the Madonna would naturally expect to
see a work Of exquisite finish and marvellous
richness Of color and tone. After having seen
beforehand an engraving of the picture, and
Knowing that In size it exactly comedies with
the Madonna Della Sedia in Florence one is ant
to imagine something very like the latter in
general effect. But when he sees the Madonna
Del Candelabri he will experience that rare and
delicious sensation which one feels on finding

Three Sisters Become Matrimonial
Mariners-A Remarkab Event Wit.
messed by a Dying Father.

Last Friday morning at eleven o'clock, four
miles west Of the village OF Butler, Kentucky,
at the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Phil
lips, occurred triple wedding. Such an event
is unusual in any community, and the three
daughters Of Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips enjoyed the
rare privilege of entering upon the cares, duties
and responsibilities Of married life at the same
day and hour.
At the modest but coy home Of Mr.. Phillips
a courtship has been going on for two or three
yenrs past, in which the future happiness of
Miss Celia Miss Hettie and Miss Lucy Phillips
the only children of devoted father and
mother, was involved. Three well known
young men of the community, Of splendid char
acter and good address, improved the opportu-
nifty. and as the result of their sparkling six
happy hearts were by the sympathetic minister
made as three. They were married at the same
time to please their father, who was at deaths
door.
