FIND REAL TITAN
IN MUSTY CELLAR
Supposed Genuine Painting Comes to
Light In the City of Boston
After Fifty Years.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct 19.-What is
said to be Mary Magdalen by Titan,
and bearing his signature and the date
OF 164S, has come to light after half
century in an obscure and mouldy eel
lar.
1t is now in the possession of Rob-
ert Jarvis, of No. 10 Elmore street,
Roxbury, who about two months ago
purchased 1T from Henry w. Smith,
storekeeper in Roxbury.
The signature can be dimly traced in
the lower right hand corner, while the
wonderful coloring of the great master
can be seen in spite Of the marks Of
effacing time.
Since Mr.. Jarvis became the owner
of the picture 1t has been examined by
q number of artists of note, who are
very sure 1t is a real Titan, from its
quality as well as from the signature,
which, 1t is expected, will be brought
out more clearly after more work up
on It, and all are very enthusiastic as
to its beauty and merit.
One day about two months ago Mr..
Smith having jolSingly remarked that
he was going to give the old painting
to so-and-so, Mr.. Jarvis said:
Don't; if you want to get rid of it
TIL give you something for it," and so,
for q song, this remarkable Magdalen
came into the possession of it's present
owner.
He brought the canvas home. 1t was
almost falling apart from age, and
Mrs. Jarvis looked at it in dismay, but
when tackled upon a forty-f1ve by
thirty-two board she, too, fell in love
with it. and when several artists called
to see what Mr.. Jarvis had all along
commended was a rare work of art and
had been unlimited in their praise, it
remained for Mrs. Jarvis to work on
the painting and bring out a part of
the signature.
This picture shows Mary Magdalen
sitting on a rock at the mouth of a
cave. Before her is a rude image of
Jesus on the cross, from which she has
turned slightly to one side.
Her long, reddish gold hair reaches
almost to the ground and envelopes a
part Of her body, while falling from her
shoulders across one arm is a scarf Of
crimson hue.
There is halo over the head and on
the face is depicted in wonderfully eX-
pressive and impressive way a look of
utter sorrow and despair, which holds
the gaze of all who are fortunate
enough to see this marvellous creation.
The painting was bought by Mr..
Smith at an auction sale, and was the
former property of an English family
who lived in Boston fifty years ago,
and was sent to the auction room by
the partleS VINO settled the estate after
the death of the last member of the
family.
About the year 1850 Mr.. Smith show
ed 1.-THE Magdalen" to famous Eng
lish restorer named Howitch, who was
In this country at the time.
Mr. Howitch declared Immediately
upon seeing the picture that it was a
Titan. He then told Thomas Thomp-
son, a wealthy New Yorker, Of this
find called on Mr. SIl1i h
and Immediately offered him $500 for
the picture. The deal at that time was
not closed, and three weeks later Mr..
Thompson died in New York of heart
disease.
From that time on Mr.. Smith made
no attempt to dispose of the picture
until recently.

White PoIIed Cattle.

Morton county, North Dakota, boasts of
the only herd of white polled cattle in the
world. They are owned by A. Boley, a
farmer living five miles north of Man
dan, who has been breeding them for
the past ten years. The stock originated
from white muley bull used on common
cows, the progeny being, as rule, white
and without horns. By system of in
breeding of the best specimens, a type Of
white polls has become quite we'll fixed.
A part Of the herd have red ears, which
Is not considered disqualification No
breeding stock has ever been sold and the
owner does not anticipate offering any
for some time to come. All animals not
needed for breeding purposes are slaugh-
tered. They are large-franed cattle, but
somewhat rough in form. In general con-
formation they approach nearer to the
Shorthorns than to any of the other
breeds Mr.. Boley claims that the COWS
are exceptionally good mixers. The herd
is attracting considerable attention local
ly, but whether they will ever become a
distinct and popular breed remains to be
seen,

State Dairy Convention in St. Paul.

Mrs. G. II. Robbins, in a communities
ton in the Northwestern Agriculturalist,
says 1t Is quite a while to look forward
to coming event, but if farmers do not
plan In advance, it would be almost i'm
possible for them to get away from their
work. Many do not realize what a bene-
mt the dairy convention is to people who
ply a meeting for jolly good time, but
the main object is for instruction, and
OF course 1t must not be denied that
everyone always has good time. 1t
also gives the farmers a short outing,
which they are not apt to have unless
their attention Is called to the meeting
some time before. and above all things
don't forget that the ladies are espe-
cially invited, and that there is a special
preparation being made to have this con-
vention the banner one. The secretary of
the association, the Hon. ]. R. Morley, of
to have programme that will not only
be instructive but very entertaining, he
also Is planning surprise in the way
of imported speakers. In fact, everyone
thoroughly understand the subject not
alone from observation. but from actual
work in that line, and having. made a
success of it. Then, too, there is an OPP
portunity Of meeting and talking over the
general farm work with practical farm
ers and gaining much information in that
way.
Now, the best part Of it is that the
meeting is to be held in st. Paul, and
this will be a great chance for all to
see the Twin Cities very cheaply, as the
railroad companies always give special
rates for the conventions. Everyone will
have an opportunity Of visiting one Of
the best institutions of the state At that
time the agricultural university will be
in the height of it's work, and those who
desire to send their children to a practi
cal school could go there at no better
time, to get an idea of the work the stu
dents are doing and the advantages they
may have.

Corn Electrically Treated.

A correspondent reports that a new
w. s. Stacy a farmer residing near
Marshalltown, with what he asserts are
remarkable results. The corn was plant
ed May II, after having been treated to
a course of electricity at the electric light
plant at that place. Mr.. Stacy filed a
barrel with corn and water, placing a
piece Of zinc at the bottom and one on
top. Five hundred volts Of electricity
twenty minutes. The corn was then
thoroughly dried and ten acres planted
with drill. The corn averaged eight
feet in height, and Mr. Stacy says
the yield will be not less than seventy
bushels to the acre. His theory is that
all microbes are killed by the electric
treatment and the germ is not injured in
any way.

WHY THE REBELS REITERATED.
Arrival of Ammunition Saves Castro's
Forces From AnnjhiIation.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Oct. 19.-
One of the leaders of the Matos rev.
olution in Venezuela, who is at present
in Curacao, has furnished the follow
ing details and explanation Of the re-
treat of the revolutionary army from
La Victoria. He says the rebels only
abandoned the fight after being con-
WINGED that La Victoria was I'M
pregnable and after President Castro
had refused to come out and attack
the revolutionists outside Of La Vic
toria. Twice did the revolutionary
general attempt to force President
Castro to take the offensive and twice
the president refused.
When the rebel reinforcements ar
rived at La Victoria last Thursday,
President Castro and his forces were
located at point on the German rail-
road. The rebels made a detour Of the
city and cut off the only road Of re-
treat open to the government forces.
The latter were then short of ammuni-
ton, and had 1t not been for the ar
rival of train bringing them 100000
cartridges, it is believed that Castro's
forces would have been annihilated.
Preparations for the retreat Of the
revolutionists had been already order
ed.
The revolutionists stationed near
Caracas, some 1900 men. under the
command of Gen. Ramos, are alone re-
sponsible for the retreat of Gen. Men
dosa- They permitted the train carry
ing ammunition to the government to
leave Caracas and reach La Victoria
This train had an escort Of only 100
men. The men under Ramos did not
attack it nor did they destroy one Of
the eighty bridges between Caracas
and La Victoria over which the rail-
road runs.
An added proof that the government
suffered terribly in the La Victoria
fight from the repeated attacks Of the
rebels is found from the fact that
President Castro does not pursue Gen.
Mendosa. The latter's plan in with
drawing from La Victoria is to oblige
President Castro to abandon the posi-
tons he holds there.
The rebels suffered losses, but the
government did also. President Cas-
tro's forces are reduced to 3,100 men,,
while Gen. Matos still has 8 600 men
in the field. It was not rout, but a
methodical retreat.
In conclusion the rebel officer said
that the revolutionists would within a
few days be found near Caracas.
