ROMANCE OF A RAPHAEL.
let de BOurbOnne Made-Five
Francs for Fortune.

From the New York Herald.
D. Wells Champney on his recent return
from Europe brought with him not only
wonderful story OF marvellous new found
Madonna by Raphael. but copy of the
picture made by him this last summer.
American connoisseurs will be glad to learn
that they will probably have an oppor-
tunity to satisfy the curiosity whetted by
Mr. ChampneyS romantic story by seeing
his admirable copy. 1t is announced that
Mr.. Bonaventure will bring over for exhi-
bition here the original painting. which is
the property of Count Ferlet de Bourbonne.
a distinguished conno;sseur, of Burgundy,
and is now in his gallery
II IS easy to see in Mr.. Champney's copy
the famous characteristics which have con-
vlnced critics who have seen the picture
that IT Is the long lost Raphael The hand
OF the Mother and the Child's arm have
suffered most in the process of restoration
through which the painting has gone, but
the tender beauty and delicate modelling
OF the face of the Madonna are so marvel
ous,E the style of the master that No dis
senting voice has been raised.
The manner in which Count Ferlet dis
covered the Raphael is that of those who
are born with golden spoons in their
mouths He was at an auction in the coun-
try one day. and because a certain daub
in distemper pleased him by sundry grace
ful outlines he bid 81. for il. He was alone,
it seemed, IN appreciating the subtle beau
One day he decided to utilize a frame
which he had. but in order to make the
picture fit 1t must be cut. 1t was while
scratching an outline upon the distemper
as a guide for his knife that bit Of paint
peeled off, showing yarnsh beneath, and
beneath that an oil painting
A professional dealer took his ST. pict-
ure and returned TO him one said to b0
worth over a million.
The story OF this long lost Madonna In
one familiar to critics who have studied
the composition in the ITO catalogue of the
lid collection of the Regent. This picture
to which Raphael gave the name Of La
Sainte Vierge'' was the last painted by
him in Florence before leaving for Rome.
II is a curious instance of the way in
which remarkable discoveries like other
events of rhetorical interest. appear in
groups that there have been several other
important finds reported during the last
few months. A local critic. in speaking of
the hoped for. sale of these pictures in
America, has some dubious remarks to
make about this being either the time or
the place for such an attempt.
M. Armand Martin Hurel. who hame
over in the steerage of the Bourgogne the
other day with Virgin and Child by Ra-
phaei. and the Descent From the Cross
by Rubens. carried them too far. He
should have taken them to London At no
time before, in the recollection of man. has
there been so much money spent in pict-

Calumet A. a DISTRIBUTING Point.

Three more pianos were sold this morn
ing by Messrs. Henderson and Pilkey, OF
the Standardization piano company, at
the piano sale in the Murphy block, and
they were delivered this afternoon. This
sale at Calumet seems to be attracting
attention outside OF the city, as well as
in the city. A citizen wrote TO Mr.. Hen
cerson from Ironwood the other day,
asking him If be would not take car
load of pianos to that place aud start a
sale there, and closed with the assurance
that all OF the pianos would be taken up
in short time. Mr.. Henderson also
heard from Iron River; a letter which
contains in substance the same sugges-
tons as those from the lronw God gentle
man. He has not Yet decided what he
will do in the matter, but states il has
at least suggested new idea to him,
that OF making Calumet distributing
point for the pianos OF his company, to
cover the surrounding country for num-
Der of miles. II you have not seen these
instruments, do not fail To call in whether
you intend TO purchase or not.

Are frequently sale investments and then
again they are not. How many young
men are there in the copper country
today who would be in good circum-
stances but for their unfortunate invest
ments in stocks? People may also make
mistakes in other enterprises. They may
buy real estate blindly and lose ty the
venture but no one can possibly pur-
chase Munising lands without knowing
lust what he rs getting, simply because
il is necessary that he shall 60 and see
before he can buy. and for that purpose

ed TO Munising to give all chance to se-

Why not buy farm, when you can get

when independence will come TO you. in
stead OF leading life OF struggle in the
employ of Others?

near the depot, will give you all informa-
ton regarding Munising lands and the
