PAINTINGS BY RUBENS
FOUND IN BALTIMORE
Interest in Art Circles Great
ly Aroused.
THREE ORIGINAL CANVAsES
Two at St. Mays Se1iira - Be-
queathed by Mr. Severn Teackle
Wallis-Doth % by ae Inches-Vis-
itation Nuns Own Other.

BALTIMORE. Nd, July z7.-Great in
torest nas been aroused in art circles all
over the country by the recent publlca
tion of the fact that three paintings in
this city have been pronounced by Mr..
H. Weidenbach. a Canadian artist AMI
expert, to be the work of Peter Paul
Reubens. the great Flemish painter.
Two of these paintings-those OF st.
Peter and St. Paul-are at St Mary's
Seminary. North Paca Street, TO which
Institution they were bequeathed by Mr..
Severn Teackle Wallis. They were pur-
chased by Mr. Wallis in Spain. and IN
his VIII are designated as "the old origi-
nal paintings OF St Peter and St Paul"
Three-Guarter Bust Pictures.
Both canvases are twenty four inches
by twenty-nine inches and are three
quarter bust pictures. st Peter is shown
as holding two keys in his left hand
and his face is upturred as though he
were looking upon the master. The ar
list prosentsthe scene when Christ gave
unto Peter the keys Of the Kingdom Of
Heaven. The painting corresponds in
every particular with R0oses' descrlp
tion of Rubens' ST. Peter. except that
Rooses saws the saint holds a book In
his right hard But there is no right
hand in this picture. and all those who
have seen the picture agree that the
lower part CT the canvas was cut away,
probably in taking 1t from a frame.
This also accounts for the absence CT
the name OF the artist.
In st Paul there IS still more color
and light and everything about the can
vas speaks of Rubcns. His wonderful
portrayal of the expressions OF the face,
the deftness of his use OF cclors. the
dignity and force of character are all
there.
Picture of Crucifxion.
The third picture. which is owned by
the Visitation Nurs. Park Avenue and
Centre Street. who conduct the Vista
tion Academy, IS "The Crucifxion Of
Christ" and IS regarded by Mr.. Weiden-
bach as the original sketch of the great
picture of "The Cruciaxicn." by Rubens.
which is now in the Louvre. In Paris.
The few persons who have seen the work
have been urable TO express fully their
admiration for so fine a masterpiece.
The painting is en- wood and is In a
high state OF preservation. 1t is about
80 by 20 inches, and its greatest value.
perhaps. Is that each figure is a perfect
miniature. The picture shows Christ
dead upon the cross. To the right is
St. John; to the left are His Mother. |
the Blessed Virgin. and Mary Masdalen.
This painting vas also cleaned by Mr.. |
Weidenbach and its wonderful beauty re-
stored.

AMERICAN PRIESTS
I CANNOT Be SPARED
Not Enough to Supply the
Church's Need Here.
MUST LEARN DIALECTS
Missionaries Would Have to Be In
structed in Filipino Tongues-General
Wood Suggested as Intermediary in
Philippines.

NEW YORK, July 27.-It can be stated
with authority that one Of the sugges-
tions offered to President Roosevelt. Mt
Oyster Bay. by Fathers Jones and
O'Reiliy. Of the Augustinian Order, was
that the frar question in the Philippines
be settled by Gen. Leonard Wood or
some other person Of a capacity for
handling matters dipIomatlcally. 1t was
urged that General Wood adjusted the
difficulties in Cuba and that he would
be ideally fitted fer the mission.
First of all" Father Wynne said
yesterday. the parishes in the United
States have not enough priests to meet
the demand. The situation is becoming
more trying each year. owing to the
swelling influx of European immigra-
tion. particularly from Italy and Po-
land.
Would Take Time.
Even if we could spare them, it
would take at least two years to pre-
pare the American priests for this spe-
c!al mission. The Spanish friars are
taught at least two dialects with their
theology. 1t might be matter OF some
difficulty for the Americans to acquaint
themselves with these dialects.
There are also financial drawbacks.
The friars whose lands will be appro-
prIated are personally the owners of
the property The Church has absolute
" no claim upon It, and receives in
revenues only as much as the friars
may choose to contribute. They would,
therefore, properly retain TO themselves
the purchase money received from this
Government.
Again. the relation of the friar 10
the Church differs from that of the
priest The friar from the outset for
swears all ideas of earthly advance
ment, so that when he is assigned 10
a certain Filipino tribe he rests con-
tented. The position OF the priest. on
the other hand, is such that ne seehs
promotion. The difficulties In mis- path
in the Philippine Islands would prove.
l fear, an effective deterrent for orp
reason. because in going from one 10
callty to another he would be obliged to
learn new dialects in order to better his
position.
Land Very Valuable.
The land which the United States
seeks to acquire for s5.0O0.O00 is even
at the present time worth actually four
times that sun. Properly developed
under their guidance the possibilities of
further improvement are enormous.
II fail to see how. this Government
can properly acquire the holdings Of the
friars They can not make the claim of
confscation en- the theory OF eminent
domain because no public improvement
is contemplated.

Delegates to Be Elected.
There are three hundred and four

one hundred and twenty-seven are from
Gloucester and eighty from Salem coun-
ty. One hundred and ffty-three are
necessary TO a choice.
Organization Leader Baird claims
Candidate Van SAINT will have $50 votes
on the first ballot In the convention to
be held m Woodbury. next Wednesday.
Representative Loudenslagers lieu
tenants claim 203 votes on the first bal
lot, as follows; Gloucester. So; Salem,
70, and Camden. 81 The latter estimate
includes five wards in the city of Cam
den. three townships, and two boroughs
with FIVE votes each and a borough with
one vote. The Van SAINT people might
reasonably be expected 10 dispute this
estimate. but taking the district as a
whole there appears to be but a slim
chance of defeating Mr.. Loudenslager.

Treasurer NJ Fields went to Durango
this week to meet with the board of
county commissioners Of La Plata coun-
ty in an effort to adjust the differences
which have arisen between the two
counties in the matter Of assessment Of
live stock for taxation. 1t was agreed
70 divide the taxes between the two
counties on range stock and it was fur
ther arranged that there should here
after be no taxes assessed against cattle
brought to this county from Colorado
or at least from La Plata county, when
the cattle we're fed here on alfalfa and
pasture. The dispute as to where
cattle that Craze and feed in the two
counties, should pay their taxes, is one
Of long standing, and the arrangement
which is being made seems to be a
very equitable one.
The text of the agreement, which has
been signed by the La Plata county
commissioners but yet awaits the
signatures Of the commissioners of this
county, is as follows;
This agreement made and entered in
to. BY, and between the Board OF
County C0mmiamoners ol san Juan

and mutually und erstood ty and be
tween the parties hereto, that taxes be
assessed on one-half of whole number Of
live stock of every description ranging
in both said San Juan county. New
Mexico, and La Plata county, Coiora do
Ut being hereby understood that parties
ranging horses, cattle, sheep and other
live stock in said counties of San Juan,
New Mexico. and La Plata Colorado,
shall pay taxes on full number owned,
but on only halt of whole number
owned, in each OF said counties.
Parties ranging cattle in said counties
as above specified are required TO ex-
hibit to the assessor OF said La Plata
county a statement signed by the asses
sor showing that one-half of his said
live stock had been assessed in said
San Juan county, New Mexico.
1T is hereby further agreed by and
/ between the said Boards that cattle or
other live stock Of citizens OF said La
Plata county, Colorado retainad in
corral or pasture and fed during any
portion OF the year in said San Juan
county, New Mexico shall not be assessed
in said county. but should said cattle
or other live stock be permitted to
Craze upon the public domain for
period of ten days continuously. then,
and in that case, one-half the number
Of said live stock shall be assessed in
each of said San Juan county, New

sonal property aasessable in said San

joe Palen and Fred Wheeler, prisoners
confined in the county Jail, escaped last
Tuesday night by prying off the bars Of
their cells sufficiently to allow them to
crawl through, an iron bar wrenched

Of destruction. The sheriff and his dep
uties have been securing the country
for the missing men but up to the time
We go to press, have unearthed nothing
that might even resemble a clew. Char

one must have been in waiting for them
