"A Rare Find in Baltimore.

a few days ago Mrs. Andrew Reid,
Jr, of Mount Vernon place, who is a
native of France, and whose brother is
an artist in Paris, made one of the rich
est art discoveries that has ever come to
light in Baltimore. Mrs. Reid is great
lover of art and knows a good A:ture
when she sees one. For long THE she
has been in the habit of hunting through
secondhand stores for old paintings.
Several days ago, by chance, she walked
into store on North Charles street.
There she saw a dilapidated looking old
picture. which represented the head Of a
French peasant. AT first she did not
pay much attention to the picture, but
Went on to examine the other old things
in the store BY chance she returned to
the picture. and it struck her as being a
remarkably fine piece of art work. She
turned it over and looked on the back,
and there was the artists name. Before
her was one of the most valuable pictures
in Baltimore.
She Immediately called the dealer and
asked the price of the picture. He stag
gered her by asking twenty dollars. She
paid the price, took the picture home
with her, and now it cannot be bought
for less than thousands.
1t was rich find, truly, as there are
only two other pictures in Baltimore by
the same artist. The picture is by Jean
Baptiste Greuze, and on the back of it
is ''.Jean Baptiste Greuze, 1926 to 1908. -
Mr.. William T. Walters owns one of the
pictures, for which he paid big price,
and Mr.. .Leonce Robillon owns the other.
Mr. Walters viewed Mrs. Reids picture
yesterday and pronounced it genuine.
He says it is worth thousands of dollars.

Old Bones Seized.

During the recent storm the heavy
surf washed away several feet of ths
beach between Sandy Hook and Sperma-
ceti Cove, N. j. In one place where the
sea had clean sweep fifteen feet of the
beach was upturned, and a big pile of
human bones was exhumed. a number
of bullets were found among the skele-
tons. Spanish coin 100 years old and a
number of brass buttons with the nu-
merals and were also found in the
mass. It is known that both American
and British soldiers were encamped OIL
Sandy Hook at various times during the
Revolutionary war, but there is no rec.
ord Of any burying ground ever having
been there. The bones and other relics
have been seized by relic hunters.-New

WARM WEATHER AT LAST.
The Best Season Of the Year to Treat
Chronic Catarrlh,


Understanding that a great number OF
people have been cured of chronic catarrh
by taking Peru ma during the past cold
season, yet it cannot be denied that the
cold, wet, backward spring has retarded
many cures, and in some cases actually
prevented a cure. But. after unusual de-
lay, summer has come at last, and now Is
the time for all catarrh sufferers to begin
systematic course of treatment for this
disease. The greatest difficulty in the
way OF treating chronic catarrh is that
the patient is so liable to catch cold dur
ing the treatment, and thus delay cure.
This liability at this season OF the year is,
in great measure, removed, and no one
should neglect theopportunity to be given
treatment.
The proper way to begin treatment for
chronic catarrh is to take a tablespoonful
of Pc-ru-na before each meal and at bed
time. This dose should be increased so
that in one month the patient will be TAX
ing two tablespoonful at each dose; at
which time report of the case by letter
should be made to Dr. Hartman, Column
tus. Ohio, and he will advise further.
Every patient should have copy Of
| The Family Physician No. 2, which is a
81. page pamphlet, giving complete de-
scription of the cause, symptoms and cure
of chronic catarrh Sent free to any adj

A Divorce from . Dead Man.

A very peculiar case is reported from
Paterson, N. j., where a woman desires
to get divorce from dead man. OF
rather to get her marriage set aside.
Her first husband enlisted in the war
and was killed. She married again, and
at the death of her second husband she
ascertained that her second marriage
deprived her of the benefits of the law.
Subsequently she learned that her Sec
ond marriage was bigamous, husband
No. 9 having wife living at the time
of his marriage to her. This marriage,
she thinks, can be set aside as null and
void, and then she will be able to pro-
cure widows pension.

Gre.s reat. of strength.

London has been entertained lately by
feats of strength that are certainly re-
narkasle and probably unsurpassed in
modern times. First there was a man
named Sandow. who was an enormously
powerful man; he was succeeded by
Sampson, and he in turn by an Irish
American named Sullivan. Curiously,
the three names begin with the letter S,
which is also the initial of strength"
and of the Greek word for strength
(sthenos). Sullivan, the latest conner, is
thirty years of age, stands feet 81
inches in height, and weighs 1853 pounds.
His appearance presents little that is I'M
usual in the way of muscular develop
ment, and his biceps are neither very
large nor wonderfully rigid. 1t is in his
neck and jaw that his strength chiefly
lies, and the majority Of his feats are
such as bring this popularity into special
prominence.
At an exhibition given in London he
fastened chain to a 56-pound weight,
and the other end being griped be-
tween his teeth, swung himself around
and around until the twirling chain as
sulned a nearly horizontal line. The
feat was repeated with the weight
doubled, and as the performer, with
both hands to his hips and using every
sinew in his frame, swirled around and
around the audience wondered with
anxiety what would happen if one of
the links should fly asunder. The most
remarkable feat, however, that Sullivan
performed was the lifting of an elephant
by his teeth. 1t was baby" It's true,
but it weighed about 1880 pounds and
was lifted a clear three inches from the
ground, its whole weight pendent from
the jaw of the man above.
Sullivan was not successful in an at
tempt to break chain with his arm,
having injured this limb on the previous
/ night. He succeeded, however, in prov
ing that his proves was not entirely
confined to feats with his teeth by lift
| ing a barrel Of water, weighing sec
pounds. with the middle finger of his
right hand.-Harper's Young People.

Pierre. Best show.

In rummaging through some old en-
changes laid up for future reference the
following amusing comment on past in
cident in this city will DO found interest
ing to many readers. who are familiar
with the party mentioned in the several
exciting scenes in which he participated
since landing in this city. The item is
taken from the Cascade Geyser, published
in Fall River county, this state:
a Pierre special states that Walt Hall,
of the Hall Theatrical troupe, attempted
to whip F. b. Ireland, Of the Capital. for
criticisng his troupe. and Ireland shot
him in the leg. We have for a long time
labored under the impression that Ireland
lacked the nerve to cock cannon. The
last time we saw him he was walking the
streets of Pierre, during the first session
OF the legislature at that point. Ireland
was dressed in the height OF fashion. his
stove pipe hat looming up above the 9TH
IRIS of more modest shape, and attracting
the attention of all. When nearly oppo-
site the Journal Office Il man stepped out
OF u stairway and assumed a pugnacious
attitude directly in front OF Ireland. The
latter attempted to escape but just as he
left the sidewalk the beligerant individual
landed maverick skin that was on his
foot just where our newspaper friends
coat tails split, and repeated the dose sew
eral times in fifty yards. Ireland could
ou,run his antagonist, and would have
escaped all but the first kick had it not
been for his hat, which would escape and
be recovered just in time to- get its owner
kicked into it, so 1t was abandoned. 1t
seems Ireland had stated in his morning
paper that the man who played the star
part in the show was running brace
game at his place. Show, did we call it:
1t was the best show in Pierre that winter
and every act received an encore tina,
could have been heard five miles.
