The world has long agreed to regard Fra An
gelico as saint first and a painter afterward.
Mr.. Langton Douglas would reverse this order
of things, and the facts he sets them forth
in his new biography and criticism of the artist
would seem to prove that he is right. This au-
thor is at great pains to make his argument
conclusive. He examines the works one by
one, calculating always with ingenuity and often
with authority the influences that went to
make them what they are, and that now justify
his contention to the painters character.

Mr.. Cleveland in the fullness of his self-con-

and they said to the pigmy despots of the time:
..Get you gone. We will have no more OF this
systematic betrayal of the great cause We Pave AT
heart" Never for a moment has there been the
slightest desire to retrace the step then taken.
ON the contrary, the subsequent Developments
have but served to demonstrate the wisdom OF the
course Mr. Cleveland may not be aware OF the
fact but he is as dead julius Caesar, in the
political sense, and the erstwlnlc mnions

be disturbed by the existing status unless thcN

given their voice for the Republican policies,
with their ewes wide open. Let that suiiice

FREE CHRISTMAS DINNERS.
Memb~FS of AImas Temple Provide
for 1000 Families.

the members Of Almas Temple yester
day distributed among the worthy poor OF
the District of Columbia thousand bas-
kets filled TO their full capacity with
Christmas provisions. This was in accord
ance with the annual custom observed for
many years by Almas Temple. and there
was doubtless more benefit rendered to the
destitute than ever before. The names of
the families to whom the baskets were
sent were handed in by members of the
Temple to whose attention the condition
of the recipients had come. number of
the members of the Temple began the
work of packing the baskets at National
Rifles Armory early yesterday morning,
and it was late in tine afternoon before the
last delivery wagon with baskets left that
place.
The work OF distribution was carried out
under the direction of Mr.. Harry Standi-
ford. chairman of the charity committee,
and Frank X. Raymond Potentate of AL
mas Temple. They were assisted by a
large number of members OF the Temple,
who labored hard in packing the baskets.
The provisions, which were of the best
quality, were bought several days ago and
were delivered at the armory yesterday.
numbey of merchants in this city, mem
bers OF the Temple, donated the use of
their delivery wagons. Twenty-Five of
these were pressed into service yesterday
morning at o'clock, when the work OF
distribution began. At that hour there
we're a number of gentlemen already on
hand. They stripped off their coats and
were soon busily engaged in placing the
supplies in the half-bushel baskets.
AS fast as the baskets were filled they
we're taken to another part OF the hall,
where a tag bearing the address of some
family was affixed and then they were
loaded into the wagons which stood out
side the building. The drivers were di-
rected TO take them to the addresses given
and to deliver them personally TO the fam
lilies Several of the baskets miscarried
and were returned to the armory. They
will be sent out today.

Bellinzaghi Offers His Great Discovery
to Us-Mexico's 500. 900 Refused
Terms impossible Establish a
Laboratory at San Antonio. Tex.

A New York dispatch says: DR.. An
gel Bellinzaghi, a young specialist
whose treatment in the sufferers of yell
low fever recently attracted much at
rention in Mexico, was in the city on
his way to Brazil.
DIR. Bellinzaghl has been offered the
500, 900 prize set aside by the Mexican
government for the discovery of a SER
um that would cure yellow fever, but
ne says that he is unwilling to accept
the prize on the terms proposed by the
Mexican government, although he is
ready to give all sufferers from the
dread disease the benefit of his cure.
Although DIR. Bellinzaghi spent only
Two months in Mexico, he treated about
fifty cases OF the yellow fever. and eff
fected cures In So per cent of l-ese
cases. He said that he would remain
in New \ ork about a week and that
he would return to the United States
from Brazil early next year. He is &C
companied here by r. l.. Summerlin
of San Antonio, rex, near which city
he expects to establish a laboratory
for the manufacture of the serum,
which has attracted the favorable at

tention of the Mexican authorities.
Offered to the United States.

1T is my DESIRE" DR.. Bellinzaghi
said in an interview, ito place my dis
covery at the disposal of the United
States. as 1 believe it will be of mark
ed value to the sufferers from yellow
fever in the states along the gulf coast
NY experience in the republic of Next
co. both in the treatment of yellow
fever and in minimizing persons liable
to it have been most satisfactory and
convincing"
DIR. Be1linZaghi takes special pride in
the case of David Fitzpatrick, an Ameri-
can who had contracted yellow fever
and whose case was regarded as hope
less. Four applications were made
and Fitzpatrick recovered.
This strengthened the confidence of
the local authorities in DIR. Bellinza-
ghi's discovery and the Mexican gov
eminent expressed it's desire to obtain
from him his interest in the new re-
medy. The offer was not accepted, as
DR.. BellinZaghi dIu not desire to place
the entire control of his discovery IN
the hands of the government.
1t is the plan of DR.. Bellinzaghi and
those associated with him to establish
hospitals for the cure of yellow fever
IN Vera Cruz. Havana, Panama, Vene-
zuela and in other places. These hos
pitfalls will be supplied with the newly
discovered serum from the establish
