ART HISTORY.

A competent committee was appoint
ed to choose what they considered the
twelve greatest pictures of the world.
The "Sistine Madonna" was painted
in 1918. 1t was done entirely by
Raphael, and was completed in three
months. He painted it as if by in
spiration. Forty years before it had
been brought to the Dresden gallery,
Augustus III while on tour through
Rome, wanted to buy it and offered a
large amount of money for it. The
monks were loath to part with it, but
at last consented on the condition that
duplicate should be made This was
done and the original painting now
now hangs in the Dresden gallery.
The TRANSPORTATION" was Raphaeps
last work. The picture consists of two
parts. The upper part was sentirely
executed by him, but the lower part
was finished by his favorite pupil,
Romano, as Raphael sdied before its
completion, This picture. with other
works or art was taken to Paris. when
Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Italy, but
was returned to Italy in 1897 by the
famous treaty of Campo Formio.
The TRANSPORTATION" is one of the
masterpieces of the sixteenth century.
At Raphaels death it was placed at the
head of his bier where it received the
homage of thousands of people. 1t is
now the the chief attraction of the pic
ture gallery of the Vatican.
The Last Judgment" is the most
famous single picture in the world. 1t
is not very beautiful but thes figures
represented in it are finely proportional
though all are quite heavily clothed.
The picture is not very large but two
hundred beings are represented, neces.
sarily the figures are rather small
In 1882 Michaelo Angelo was ordered
to paint on the north wall of the Sis
tine chapel reproduction of the Last
Judgment" He began the work in
1882, but did not uncover it until
Christmas day. 1541. 1t is, and has
been severely criticised and greatly
abused.
Domenichino painted, the ''Last
Communion of st. Jerome" early in the
seventeenth century. 1t was painted
for the Roman monks and Domenichino
received about fifty dollars for his
labor. 1t is one of the most celebrated
pictures of the world and is ranked
second to the TRANSPORTATION"
AS mark of honor it occupies the
wall opposite that on which hangs the
TRANSPORTATION" in the picture gal
lery of the Vatican.

ART HISTORY.

Among the great works of art of the
fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth CEN
turtles, the ''Sistine Madonna, by
Raphael, ranks first. Being considered
by many the most beautiful painting in
the world, it is now without price, in
the Dresden gallery. 1t is extremely
lovely, yet simple. plain, but inspira-
tional 1t was painted for the Black
Friars Monastery at San Sisto, hence
its name 1t is said to have been fin
ished entirely by Raphael himself, and
in three months; and, as no drawing
or study of it can be found, it is
thought to haye been painted from in
spiration.
In the center is the Madonna and
Child At the left is Pope Sextus IL,
and at the right is st. Barbara. 1t was
brought to Dresden in 1853. Forty
years before. Prince Augustus III, while
touring through Italy, bought it for a
sum equal to about forty-fve thousand
dollars In addition they received a
copy of it, which is always shown to
strangers as the real "Sistine Ma
donna"
The last of Raphaeps works, the
TRANSPORTATION, " is also world pic
ture 1t was not finished by Raphael
himself because he died. The task was
given to his favorite pupil, Guilio
Romano. In 1897 is was taken to Paris
by the victorious army of the French,
but was returned to Rome when peace
was declared, and is now in the
Vatican. 1t is divided into two parts

Raise in Salary.

Aid. Deebach moved that the salary
of the chief of the fire department be
increased from 5000 to $500 a year, as
he gives his time AID furnishes horse.
Aid. Jordan said that he had always
thought that the chief of the fire de-
partment did not receive enough pay.
The motion was carried unanimously.
The contract and bond of Thos.
Dunlevy for putting in the Pleasant
street culvert, with John F. johnson,
Evan Hughes and T. A. Sherk as sure
ties, were approved. The bond is for
81, 900.
The matter of allowing the M. & N.
q. road to put in false work at the Gull
vert at Mound avenue until the iron
work arrives in September was discuss
ed. A motion to refer the matter to
the committee on streets received three
votes and two against it. The chair
ruled the motion lost because it did
not receive four votes. Aid. Weed,
who made the motion, appealed from
the decision on the ground that sim
pie majority of the aldermen present
had voted for the motion. which was
sufficient to carry. Four aldermen
voted to against sustaining the chair
to one for.
The bills were taken up and allowed,
and the council adjourned.

Composition by Three Eighth
Grade Pupils. --New Work Re-
Gently introduced.

pleasing to look at, but the figures show
the great study Angelo gave to the
anatomy of man. 1854, after he had
decorated the ceiling of the .Sistine
chapel, he was commissioned to decor
ate the north wall of the same chapel.
To do this he had ito obliterate three
frescoes by Perugino. L He was then
over sixty years of age. The picture is
divided into four sections. In the up
permost are angels bearing cross. In
the center of the second is Christ pass
ing judgment, on the left, those doom
ed. In the middle of the third is a
group OF angels sounding trumpets
to command the earth and seal to give
up their dead, On the rights'extreme
lower corner, are souls struggling in
the throes of death to he lifted up to
judgment; on the extreme lower left is
represented hell. The 'very slowest
figure in this portion is the Fportrait of
the pope's chamberlain, against whom
Angelo for some good reason had a
grudge, and pictured him as being en-
circled by serpent.
The Last Communion s;of st.
Jerome" was painted by Domenichino,
for which he received about fifty dol.
lars. Now there is not enough money
in Europe to buy it
st. Jerome is pictured 'as being car
ried in the arms of his disciples to his
chapel. A young priest is administer
ing the last sacrament and the head of
lion is also seen in the foreground.
This is always an important figure in
pictures of ST. Jerome. The saint is
laid on the bare ground andS covered
with sack cloth. The picture hangs op.

A Secret Session.

After the adjournment. the mayor
called the aldermen into the rear room
for secret conference The matter
under consideration was the personal
property assessment. Assessor Fowler
desired to know whether the aldermen
were willing to stand the expense of
his visiting different counties and list
ing taxable property owned by Man
kato residents, as has been done for
several years. The aldermen thought
that this would be proper, but thought
that not as much time as formerly need
be put upon the work, as the tax
experts have made clean sweep If
books of the latter could be gotten at,
it would swell the personal property
asses sment roll, it was thought.
The matter of the valuation to be
placed on real estate in the city was
also talked oyer.

Appointments Confirmed.

Mayor Currier announced the reap
pointment of Judge j. E. Porter as
president of the board of public works,
and DR.. M. B. Wood, Prof. w. E. REIN
and A. o. Eberhart as members of the
public library board. The appoint
ments were confirmed. Judge Porter
thanked the mayor and council for the
confidence which they had shown in
him, and hoped that their pleasant re-
lations would be continued.
The committee on health received
further time to look around for pest
house.
Health Officer Holbrook recommend
ed that the city pay for disinfecting
houses where there have been con-
tagious diseases. The cost will be from
S1.50 to 81. Heretofore the property
owners have met this expense. The
total cost the past year has been not
over $50.
On motion of Aid. Leonard, the
recommendation was adopted.
The board of public works was in
structed to repair Elm street leading
to the garbage dump.
Aid. Jordan, for the fire department
committee, reported unfavorably upon
the recommendation of Chief Phillips
that chemical engine be purchased.
Two of the committee favored hiring
one more man at the central station,
and one member was opposed to in
creasing the present force. A great
many still alarms are being turned in,
which do not call out the entire fire de-
partment. The firemen at the station
handle these fires. By keeping the de-
partment up. the insurance rates have
been lowered, and no doubt will be
lowered still more. There are four
men at the station now, whereas ST..
Paul has eighteen men for smaller
districts.
Aid. Meyer thought that in winter
more men might be required. He
thought that the city could get along
until fall and by being economical
could pay off 5000 of its floating in
debtedness and the interest on this
would pay the salary of two extra men,
to start in next winter.
Aid. Deebach favored letting the
matter go until fall and then hiring an
other man. The matter was dropped.
