LOTTO PORTRAIT OF COLUMBUS.

This one was executed in 1912, SIX
years after his death, by Lorenzo
Lotto, an able portrait painter, who,
at all-eveHts. during his five years
residence in Seville had every oppor-
tunity OF studying his features.
Whether or not it is Z good portrait it
is undoubtedly good picture. It's col

broad and thoughtful brow. The head
is turned little to the left. the hazel
eyes, however, looking to the right,

rather furtiye air. His dress is the
customary red tunic, open in the neck,
over which is worn cloak with wide
fur collar. One hand rests upon an
hourglass surmounting q pile of books;
the other holds a scroll, which close

The Famous Picture VOW Part OF the
Worlds Fair Exhibit.
J. w Ellsworth's famous portrait Of
Columbus has arrived at the fair
grounds at Chicago and is keeping
company with an army of other Colunl-
buses in one of the small upper cham
bers Of the convent of La Rabida, the
fac-simile of the walls which once
sheltered the original while he rested
from his labors and planned his daring
voyage.
This is the noted Lotto portrait,
which was bought by Mr.. Ellsworth in
Venice for price which he viii not
disclose. It has the distinction of hav-
Ing received a gold medal in the Madrid
historical exposition as being the most
authentic portrait of Columbus eXtant.

ciety people gave up attempting to
do the exposition, As if they were on
a sightseeing tour. and have settled
down to stay month or two months.
or as long as they find it peasant to
make daily trips to the wonders on the
fair grounds.
Many of them are going to stay until
Newport season opens in July. or the
Rlchfield season in june And thus
social life has sprung up in Chicago
which was entirely unthought of at the
time that the worlds fair was planned,
but which is none the less delightful
to enjoy and to study.
This social side Of the worlds fair IS
really remarkable. For the first time
within the memory of anyone and, in
deed, it may safely be said, for the
first time in the world, there have
como together the best society people
OF all countries. And they will meet
here to fete and be feted, dine and be
dined and enjoy al the delights of an
extension of hospitality upon what
might be called neutral grounds.
The society people now in Chicago
are from all the countries on the face
OF The earth. But from each of these
countries there are few picked peo-
pie, or, perhaps, only a single couple,
Who are considered sufficiently e!e-
waited in the social scale to be admitted
to the charmed circle OF the worlds fair
Four Hundred.
Chicago itself contributes about
twenty-five. There are, perhaps, fifty
from New York and Boston. and the
remainder come from the far west, the
distant south and the other side
The most prctentious of all the
worlds fair entertainers is DR. Seward
Webb, with the Vanderbilt contingent
for his companions. The Seward
Webbs have come here in a special
train, and are living in three or four
private cars side-traclked Oh Michigan
avenue, upon lines belonging to the
Illinois Central road. In these cars
the most sumptuous entertainments
are given, and dinners are served such
as have never been surpassed in the
best hotels in New York.
When Mr.. Webb first decided to come
to Chicago with his family for an ex-
tended stay, his idea was to go to one
OF the best hotels in Chicago and en-
gage suite OF rooms suitable for him
self and family. But when the Van
derbilt daughters and son-in-lav
travel, they take with them the entire
family. And this, with the Wander
bits, means d great deal. There are
always ever SO many children nurncr-

He had premonitiou that he was des-

John with the conviction that he would
die before he had attained the age of
thirty years that he told his father that
heintended to insure his life for the ben

TO persuade him not TO do so, and his
mother jokingly told HIM that he had

she would die long before he would.

THE BIG COAL COMBINE.
The Scheme of the vanderbIIts Believed Il
Be FarreachInE.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 25.-It is generally
believed in this city that the securing by
the Vanderbilts of the control of the stock
is the first step in the formation of the
greatest coal combine ever inaugurated in
this country, and one that, before it is fin
ished, will be found to include all the coal
carrying companies that have terminals in
Jersey City.
The Lehigh Valley company is said to be
party to the deal, Notwithstanding the de-
NAL of the officers of the company. 1t is
known that on Monday, Vice President
Garrett of the Lehigh Valley was in New
York in consultation with the Jersey Cen
trail people, and while he stated that no ne
gotiations were now in progress it is al
legged that they have partially settled some
sort of an agreement.
Such n combine would aim a blow at
President Mcleod of the New York and
New England R-ilroad company by cut
ting off all possibility of his entrance to the
anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania It
is known that President Mcleod is very
friendly to the 1.ehigh Valley, and that
negotiations for sending coal over his road
were pending some arrangements with the
Philadelphia and Reading aud New Eng
land railroads. .-....
While the Reading people deny all knowl-
edge of any deal being made between them
lieyed the receivers are perfectly willing to
enter into any agreement which will bene-
fit the Reading company
