FIFTEEN MASTER PIECES.
A Chicago Man Purchases 100000 Worth
of Pictures I'm Florence,

of Pictures In Florence.
CHICAGO, July 2-Mr. Charles Hutchinson,
President of the Art Institute, has just re-
turned from a visit to Florence. where he in
vested s200, 900 in old masters from the collec-
tion of the Prince De Midoff. In speaking of
them to-day he said: There are l5 of them In
all, and each one is q masterpiece There is o
superb Hobbema, one Of the finest in existence.
I think; Van Ostade that cannot be sur
passed in anv collection; Jan Steen, over
which half of Europe has raved; an Adrian Van
Der Weld that comes within any rate equal to
magnificent Ruisadel, and an unequalled Franz
Halls.
THE pride of the collection, however. is q
Rembrandt. 1t Is a beautiful, superb. magnfd-
cent canvas, and 1t stands very close to the
famous Glider in the Metropolitan Museum, of
New York. 1t is far ahead OF other Rembrandt
canvas in this city, at any rate"

The Philadelphia Press is making great
deal of the fact that ex-secretary Whitney has
become the recognized head of Tammany. If
he runs that political machine in the same way
that he did the United States navy, the oppo-

1892. If Tammany puts no worse man than
Whitney in the leadership Of New York poll
tics. 1t will be great improvement over the

"All dead in the Dunbar miner is the sad but
not unexpected announcement which comes
with the close of the task of the heroic
rescuers What brave struggling for life, what
hoping against hope, what living tortures were
endured by the 81 men Imprisoned in that
deatb-dealing chamber, will never he known.
Tears for the dead there will be; but there will
also be honor and praise for the manhood
which inspired SO many humble workers to risk
danger and death If only one comrade could be
brought back to light and life.
