Portrait of Our Saviour.

For centuries the question has been
argued by learned men whether the ac-
ccptcd portrait of Our Saviour is based on
any authentic likeness, and there is QUITE
Il volunlnous literature on the subject.
The face as depicted by the great paint
ers was not always the same. but in the
course of time 1t has been stcreotyped.
The question has been again raised by a
Frenchman, Boyer dAgen, the author Of
a book on LOurdcs, who has just discov-
cred a curious bronze medal amongst q
number of old coins for sale in curl
osity shop at Rome. He bought 1t for
ten confines because he thought he dis
covered on 1t Hebrew characters dating
back from the primitive times Of the
Christian era. On close examination it
has been declared that it bears the
eiigy of the Rcdccmcr. The portrait Is
a profile with the head slightly inclined
forward The forehead is high, the
nose rather long slightly pointed at the
tip; the moustachc is slightly marked
and the beard is pointed. AS for the
hair 1t is long and curly. The physio-
gnomy taken as Il whole, cannot, says
the Paris correspondent of the STAN
dard," be called regular, but it is ex-
trcmcly fascinating. On returning to
Paris with his purchase M. Boyer
d'Agcn showed the medal to numerous
numsmatists. who pronounced it to be
at least of the greatest antiquity, though,
of course, it would have been too much
to expect they should guarantee its au-
thcnticty. The Hebrew inscription 1t
bears on the reverse translated into
English, is "Thc Messiah, the King.
will come in peace. He is the Light OF
men, Incarnate and Living" Repllcas
of this medal in bronze and silver are
being struck.

HIS FIRST VISIT TO ROME.
bishop Cottcr, of Winonn, Will Go
This Month.

This Month.
Right Rev. J. b. Cotter, bishop of the
Winona diocese, will probably make his
first visit to Rome this winter starting
at the end Of the present month. Tho
matter is not fully determined yet, but
Bishop McGolrick, of the Duluth d.
cese, is going at that time, and 1t Is
likely that he and Bishop Cotter will
undertake the journey together.
Every bishop in the Roman Catholic
church is expected to visit the vatican
at least once in 10 years, and report on
the condition of his diocese. This is
called the Visit at Limna 1t is in ac-
cordance with this custom that the trip
will be made.
Tho Winona diocese was established
in 1889, and Bishop Cotter was conse-
Grated to the bishopric and placed in
charge of the diocese on Dec. 81 of that
year. The intervening nine years have
been years Of growth and advancement
of the diocese, and it is a most salts
factory report that Bishop Cotter will
take to Rome. The diocese includes the
two southern tiers of counties in the
state, and Wabasha county on the third

nature and should receive merited rec

At the Bijou.

The history of the Dijou has never re-
corded SO successful holiday trade as
the past two weeks; all records for past
similar occasions were fractured. While
this increase of business is indicative of
the improvement of the times, it is also
emphatic evidence of the fact that the
local theater- going public is becoming
more and more attached to the Bijou
Opera house. This patronage is not I'M
deserved, for it is a question whether in
the entire United States there exists
a theater which presents at popular
prices such an excellent list of bookings
as are given at the Bijou.
"At Coney Island" with It's quilps
and quirls, more than entertained the
ater-goers, while the coming Of eel Cap
itan" was an event of considerable i'm
portance, presenting as it did for the
first production at popular prices one Of
Sousa's great successes. 1t proved to
be the first thing Of strictly musical
nature seen in this city this season. The
company was an excellent one, and the
production gave entire satisfaction.
For the coming week, and commencing
with performance next Sunday matt
nee, Resident Manager Hays announces
the advent Of one Of the seasons biggest
comedy events in the engagement Of
Mistakes Will Happen,'' a new farce
by Grant Stewart not thoroughly I'M
known to local theater-goers because it
was given in st. Paul last summer by the
Neill Stock company While presented
with considerable success at that time,
it's production on this OCCASION will be
entirely different, as it will introduce
cast especially selected for its interpre-
tation headed by such artists as Charles
Dickson, one of the best known light
comedians in the profession; Henrietta
Crosman, an actress whose reputation
for beauty and talent is worldwide;
Nanette Comstock, a decidedly clever
little actress, and a host Of others.
