ONE MILLION FOR A PAINTING.
Fabulous Price Said to Have Been Of
fered for a Work of Titan.

fered for a Work of Titan.
From the Boston Transcript.
The preposterous report that some one
had offered f20O,0OO, or Sl,OoO,ooO, Tor Il
tian's celebrated painting of sacred ana
Profane Love- in the Borghese coliectloh
at Rome, is due, in all probability, to the
universal hunger for astonishing people,
although it may have some color or possl-
bility to the imagination OF kindergarten
financiers. Insensate prices have been. palu
for Raphaels, that in the National gallery
especially, which came from the Marloor-
ough collection; also for the works OF other
old masters, but never any such incredlble
price as this Yet it would be hard mat
ter to set the exact limit of value In the
case Of a sale of Titan, more particularly
such an example as the absurdly mlsnamed
Sacred and Profane Love IL there exists
in the world picture worth Sl,Ooo'Vo, VINO
would be bold enough to deny the right OF
Titan the potentate of painters, to be the
author of that work? AS to the picture
known by the title of Sacred and Profane
Loye"-a title which Titan did not give IT,
and which has needlessly puzzled many
commentators = 1t Is now generally con-
sidered simply as fanciful or romantic
composition.
But Franz Wickoff, a German critic, has
evolved a theory, which has a good deal to
recommend 1t, that this picture represents
an incident in the seventh book or the Ar
gonautica' of ValeriuS Flaccus, the lIatln
poet where 1t is related that Medea. the en-
chantress. daughter of Aectes. King OF Col
chis, unwilling to yield to her love for the
Greek Jason, is visited by Venus, who
pleads for the lover and endeavors to per-
suade Medea to follow her into the wood
where Jason is waiting. Titan has repre-
sented this scene taking place In the
open air; the dawn is just breaking and
rosy streaks appear on the horizon. A
young woman richly dressed is seated on
one side of a fountain on the edge of which
she has placed a costly casket Her right
hand is in her lap and holds bunch OF
magic herbs. Deeply moved, she gaZes
fixedly before her. lending ear the while to
the persuasive voice of another woman
seated near The form of this woman,
around which f1utters red mantle, Is of a
marvellous beauty. She rests her right
hand upon the fountain edge and with her
left holds on high vase from which issues
q light smoke. Between the two women the
god of love is splashing in the water with
his chubby little hands.
Mr.. Wickoff maintains that in the beauti-
full nude figure Venus is easily recogniZa-
BILE even were her son not there to indicate
her presence. The woman to whom she
spoke and who. though unwilling to yield
blindly still feels herself drawn by an ir-
resistible power, is Medea, who betrayed
the king, her father, and followed Jason,
the stranger and enemy of her people.

material insubordinaton and a dozen or SO
other little things / have forgotten. Being
entirely innocent he showed fight, but was
overwhelmed by a cloud OF witnesses and
the case against him made SO strong that
the consul refused to interfere. His place
was taken by his native assistant, who
made botch Of 1t and destroyed thousands
of dollars worth of costly machinery, but
that didn't help the engineer who was
sacked. American experts who know the
ropes insist upon having a clause in their
contracts authorizing them to employ their
own assistants 1t has been the same way
with even the military instructors. The
soldiers of fortune who went there expect
ing lifetime jobs were crowded out as soon
as young native officers learned enough to
take charge OF the troops themselves"

VERY CLOSE TO A LYNCHING.
How the Neck of Reckless SleutI
Was Saved by an Accident.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
IAN officer often has to risk his life to
protect a prisoner" remarked an old rail-
road detective last evening, "but generally
a little strategy will outwit a mob. The
queerest case of that kind / ever heard of
happened years ago, out in Colorado, at a
place called Carbonville. 1t was a pretty
tough mining camp, and one night, in
brawl, the town marshal was shot dead by
a gambler named Connors. The murderer
was stranger in the place and managed
to make his escape; but the marshal had
been very popular, and the miners sWore
all kinds of Vengence.
about a week later couple of deputy
sheriffs captured Connors at place some
thirty miles away and decided to take him
to the next county seat for safe keeping.
The road ran through Carbondale, and. as
the news of the arrest had already reached
that camp and stirred it to fever pitch,
they calculated, very correctly, that there
was likely to be trouble when they showed
up. At last one Of the deputies, a reckless
sort of chap named Jake Higgins suggest
ed a scheme. I look good deal like Con-
nors, he said. and those folks over there
hardly know him. Suppose play prisoner,
while we send an officer with our man
through town by a back road; they ain't
going to hang me right away sudden, ana
nors will be through and gone. Then we
can tell 'em who l am, show 'em our
badges and papers. have the laugh on the
gang and follow on behind This brilliant
idea, which would have occurred to no.
body but a scatter-brained lunatic like Hig-
gins, was promptly adopted. He was hand
cuffed, put In wagon between two depu-
ties, and the real prisoner brought up the
rear with another officer in a buggy.
1T was about dusk when the wagon
reached Carbonville," continued the de-
tective. land. just they had expected,

spokesman told the officers that the good
citizens of the camp had decided 1t wasn't
worth while to waste any money giving
Connors regular trial. The only thing
that was needed, he said, was short piece
of hemp and they brought section of
shaft rope. all ready for the ceremony. The
deputy began to expostulate to gain time.
but they cut him short and started to drag
Higgins out of the wagon, while some of
the others threw the loose end of the rope
over a nearby limb. That looked critical
and the deputy got ratified. Hold on,
boysv he yelled. this isn't the man! And
with that he blurted out the whole story

whether the height be 200 or 700 feet, the

But he has, by his splendid resolution and
