Miss CruttwePs 'Sgnoreli" would be received
with interest If only for its subject, this
painter has never been written about in Eng
Iish to any great extent, and handy life OF him
IS really needed. This book answers the pur-
pose The author has told we'll the little there
IS to tell about the masters life, and is sufl-
GENTLY comprehensive in her description Of the
works. We appreciate particularly her discrim-
mating touch where the passion and energy Of
SignoreT are concerned. 1t is true that the
realistic impulse plays a commanding part n his
work but il was almost always chastened by
the influence Of the more suave feelings and
tendencies which were so powerful in his time
Between Perugino, with his tender pensive and
deHcat-Iy ecstatc art, and the vigorous dra-
matte schemes Of SignOreIli there is a consider
able gulf. but there is nevertheless in the lat
ter certain grave beauty. d certain austere
feeling which makes him despite the absence
of the lyric note, one Of the most poignant and
emotional artists Of the Renaissance. There IS
sweetness. Of a sort, in his great strength An

THREE OLD MASTERS.

1t Is an agreeable duty to welcome the new
volumes that appear from time to time in the
series Of landlords on The Great Masters in
Painting and Sculpture THE Macmillan Com
pany), edited by Nj c. c. williamson The
subjects are we'll chosen, and the authors are
competent Thus in the group of three mono
graphs just published the one on Raphael by
Mr. H. Strachey, discloses an Unexpectedly
healthy conception Of what that painter signi-
hes in the history Of art. IN most popular writ
ings on his work We meet sentimental dithy-
rambs on his Madonnas. MI Strachey rightly
sees in Raphael a man who Constantly kept in
view the feeling that the artistic fabric must
never be sacrificed to the expression of the
idea; in other words, he celebrates above all
the constructive elements which We're the most
important in the painters genius. 1t IS good TO
find a biographer Of Raphael writing adequately
of the Madonnas; but We are the more inclined
TO accept Mr.. Strachey's book with approval be-
cause, in dealing with the frescoes with the
stance" Of the Vatican, with the great "SibyIs''
Of Santa Maria della Pace, and with the por-
traits, he recognizes the transcendent iznpor-

Blaine Meets with an Accident.
PITTSBURG, August ia decis-
ion has just been rendered by the
United States Court at Cincinnati that
can hardly help but have a marked
effect on the prices of river coal both
from the KanaWha and MonongaheIa
river mines. The decision is in the case
against the West Virginia coal pro-
ducers, and orders an immediate dis
solution of the combination that was
formed about a year ago, between
nearly all the coal companies having
mines along the Kanawha river, and
also those in other parts of West Vir-
GINA. The scheme was adopted for
the purpose of fixing uniform price
for coal, and the first move was to adj
vance the price several cents per bush
ed. The Kanawha men now get TX
cents bushel for their product deliv-
cred at Cincinnati, which is the figure
quoted for Pittsburg coal there But
under the decision just handed down
any company in the combine can sell
at a lower price, thus opening the
door for a renewal of the old-time COM
petition
The packet James G. Blaine met
with a mishap at the Monongahela City
wharf Thursday night by which a col
ored deckhand was severely injured
and the boat considerably damaged
While pulling out from the wharf the
packet was struck by the tow OF a
passing steamer, and had her fantaiI
torn off and her stern crushed in.

tempt to Rob the Martins Ferry
Postoffice.
Early yesterday morning an attempt
was made TO enter the Martins Ferry
postoflce, but the attempt was frus-
trated by the police soaring away the
burglars, but failing to each them.
The police, Krleger, Campbell and Nc
Farland, were passing the new U. p.
church building and heard a noise on
a roof of small building between the
church and Hotel Bellevue, the post
Office occupying a room on the first
:ioor of tie hotel The police heard
tho noise, and it Is supposed the burg
lars intent was to try and reach one
of the small side windows and entnr
the Office that way. They had secured
a ladder to get on the roof of the small
building. The small side windows in
the postOfice are about twelve feet
from the floor which would have been
quite drop. When the police real
lied some one was on the roof they
went to the corner and down the alley
and stationed themselves in the rear
of the building, but the thieves had
left by the way of back yards up Fourth
street and all trace of them was lost
and the officers have but little clue
to work on. 1t is thought these thieves
are amateurs and belong to the city.
