THE MAZAMA IN PORT.
New Inter-Island Steamer From San
Francisco.

The staunch new steamer Mazama
of the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company, arrived from San Francisco
early yesterday morning, in command
of Captain A. w. .Sorenson.
She was built by Hall Brothers, Port
Blakely, and sailed as a schooner to
San Francisco, where she received
her engines and boilers at the Fulton
Shipbuilding and Engineering Works.
In general appearance she is much
like the Noeau. Her net tonnage is
240, and she is able to develop about
300 horse power with 100 pounds of
steam making 1875 revolutions a min
ute.
She was officered on the trip down
as follows: Captain A. w. Sorenson,
First Officer p. Olsen, Second Officer
c. II. Saunders, Chief Engineer II. ]
Wootten, First Assistant w. Pierson
Second Assistant C. w. Poole. The
crew consisted of ten men. Mrs. Woot.
ten, wife of the chief engineer, made
the trip down.
The Mazama never stopped her en-.
gines from the time she left San
Francisco until she took on a pilot
outside the harbor She averaged dur.
ing the trip about 9R knots an hour.
The name Mazama means Rocky
Mountain goat, and was adopted tenn.
porarily to secure registry. However
it is found now that the name can.
not be changed very readily, and sc
it has not yet been determined what
her name will ultimately be.
She will Immediately be put il
shape for the Island trade, electric
lights being one addition that will be
made to her.

OLAA ApPRAISENENTS

The Olaa Coffee Planters Associa-
ton recently appointed an appraise-
ment committee to estimate the value
of coffee lands. They have reported
that the first two tiers of lots on eth
er side of the Volcano road are worth
$3.50 an acre and the remaining lots
$40 per acre. Improved coffee lands,
say five years old, with bearing coffee,
are estimated as worth 5000 per acre.
Many Olaa coffee men think this ap-
praisement is altogether too high.

MURILLO'S "PORTIUNCULH"
RESTORED HND FOR SRIE
Famous Spanish Masterpiece Of the Won
derful Vision Of St. Francis Now on Ex-
hiIoitiOn in Cologne, Germany

In all European art circles interest is
centered at present in the restored paint
ing, the "Portiuncula,'' by the famous
painter, Murillo, now on exhibition in
Cologne. The canvas is one of the most re-
nowned Of old historical paintings, but had
fallen into disrepute because of the faulty
overpainting that had been applied by un-
skilled hands from time to time in attempts
to restore the work.
Therefore, the surprise and delight of art
lovers are measureless at the knowledge
that the old picture has been restored to its
first brilliancy and glory, and that 1t is on
the market. Cologne art dealer bought it
from the Princes of Borbon in Madrid, and,
bringing it to Cologne, 1t was found that
the overpainting, which impaired its value,
consisted entirely of lime coors, which
could be removed by careful manipulation
without. causing any injury to the original
painting
A local specialist named Fridt undertook

perience the truth of ST. Francis words:
This Is a holy spot; whoever prays here
devoutly will obtain what he prays for"
Murillo's painting embodies the features
of the son, as well as the chapel itself,
and is considered to be a masterpiece.
Centered In the picture is the altar OF the
Portiuncula.. with an embroidered carmine
cover and illuminated by rays of daylight

kneels at the left, with hands outstretched
entreatingly. The figure is superb, placed
in an effective semi-iilumination, its right
side standing out with sufficient prominence
to carry out the artists idea focusing at
tention upon 1t. Murillo's fidelity to nature
is demonstrated in the feet of st. Francis
The ankle bones, wrinkles and even the
dirty-gray callous spots on the soles are
carefully brought out. The poorly clad ex-
terror of the monk contrasts strongly win
the glowing ecstacy his face expresses as
he views the vision, illustrated by the
painter in the clouds over the altar.
superb Group of Angels
Mary and Christ, surrounded by groups
of jumping, romping, happy angels, are pic
tured In the clouds European critics rave
over Murillos angels. They agree that IN
this picture in correctness OF composition
and individual beauty the groups are con-
siderably better than the well-known Angel
glory of Antonius of Psdua. Special praise
Is given for particularly beautiful
blonde angel, holding the edge of the Ma
dona's mantle Two of the larger angels
at the right side of the canvas are Likeness
to Murillo's familiar Seville street boys sud
denly transplanted into heaven.
The figure of the Madonna Is OF great
interest, principally because 1t had been at
fected by the wretched over-painting more
than any other part of the picture. She
appears like a beautiful young maid, with
fine features and delicate nature. me
hands are of the most noble mold and the
entire figure stands out in strong relief from
the delicate blue mantle which serves as a
background.
1t is hard to believe that Murillo intended
that youthful figure to represent the
mother of Christ, whom he paints next to
her a strongly built, full-grown man,
with masses of dark, curly hair, beard
and strikingly heavy lips. Three cherubs'
heads directly behind the two principal
figures, were brought out by the process of
restoration The whole effect of the paint
ing is rich. The lighting is distributed with
an artistic niceness and individual beauty
over the entire canvas never before equaled
by Murillo.
A fund is now being raised in Rome for
the purpose of buying the "Portiuncula"
and placing 1t with the many other old and
works in the art gallery of the vat
lean. Cologne, too, is anxious to keep the
keenest competition from the museums of
other large cities of the world when the
work of Murillo is offered for sale.

meaning but misguided dauber applied the
lime colors to fresh up the picture, and
probably did his work In the dingy light of
the altar. In its original condition Murillo's
"Portiuncula" was priced more highly than
the most famous works of Antonius of
Padua which hung In the cathedral Of Sc
VILE
The name "Portiuncula" pertains particu-
larly to feast of the Capucian Order in
commemoration of a wonderful vision of
st. Francis. The sanctuary called the Por-
tiuncula was built by four pious pilgrims
from Jerusalem in honor of the mother of
the Lord during the pontlfcate of Liberius
3s2-357 A. D. The chapel, in which relic
from the tomb of the holy virgin was
placed, was dedicated to Our Lady of the
Valley of Jehosaphat.
Visit of Angels
1t soon became famous because OF the
many graces received In 1t by the faithful
and by the frequent visits of the angels,
who sang the praises of their queen there.

Mary of the Angels. Benedictus took pos

fury and had 1t restored. 1t had been al
lowed to crumble almost to uselessness.
In the twelfth century, SO goes the be-
lief of the Brotherhood, the prayers of the
devout Lady Plea, who was childless, were
heard in the chapel Soon afterward she
became the mother of ST. Francis of Assist.
AS he approached manhood st. Francis
loved the chapel better than his life and
restored with his own hands. In it he
received the call to the religious life, and
later founded the Franciscan Order Dom
Pietro, abbot of the Benedictine monas-
terry of Mount Subaseio then presented the
Portiuncula to him under condition that
it should ever remain the mother church

The story OF the vision, as told to the
writer by Father Bernadine of Treves one
of the present leading progressive spirits
in the Church of ST. Mary of the Angels,
is as follows:
zone bitter winters night, ST. Francis
being sorely tempted by the devil to lessen
his austerities, overcame the evil one by
thowing himself into thicket of briars
and rolling himself In 1t until his body
was all torn and bleeding. At the same
moment the briars were turned into roses
in full bloom, a heavenly brightness shone
around and angels came to lead st. Fran

Miraculous Rose Bushes
The miraculous rose bushes grow without
thorns to this day, and each of the leaves
is stained with spots like thoe made by
blood. The thornless roses grow in the
garden adjoining the church and are pro-
tected jealously from vulgar touch. 1t is
claimed by the Brotherhood that great
favors have been obtained by the faithful
by the devout use of these rose leaves.

Catholic world the Portiuncula ranks

CONSOLIDATING CUSTOMS DISTRICTS
Secretary Gage Drafts BiII and
Sends ID 10 Congress.

The Secretary Of the Treasury has sent
to Congress the draft Of a bill which he
recommends be passed authorizing the con-
soidation of customs districts throughout
the country. The bill reduces the total
number of districts from l52 to sixty-five.
1t is thought that the bill will cause big
saving to the government reducing the ex-
penses from $421.00o a year to s2sI 600. Not
only is the bill expected to result in re-
duction and all-around economy. but I'm
better administration of the various dis.
tricts.
Secretary Cages plan contemplates tho
consolidation OF Alexandria with the Dis
trict OF Columbia, this city or Georgetown
to be the port of entry. Another consolida-
tion would be Newport News Norfolk and
Cape Charles City, Va, the first city to be
the port of entry. With Richmond would
be included Tappahannock and Petersburg,
Richmond to be the port of entry.
For Maryland Secretary Gage says that
the business transactions in the districts
of Easton and Annapolis are comparatively
so small and unimportant that they should
be consolidated with Baltimore and placed
in charge of the collector of the port of
Baltimore. Mr.. Gage points out that in the
cases mentioned, well as throughout the
country, consultations can be safely am.
wisely made, not only with a saving of
money to the government, but with better
results all around.
Speaking of the officials at a number of
the ports throughout the country Secretary
Gage says that many of them are over
paid, especially naval officers and survey
ors. He recommends that the customs dis
tricts be reclassi;ied each year for the pur-
pose of fixing the salaries Of collectors for
the succeeding year, the salaries TO be
based upon the business transacted in each
district
