Art Critics Puzzled.

CHICAGO. Oct. PA mystery which is
puzzling local art critics interested in the
salon Of American Society of Artists has
arisen. The Chicago connoisseurs are won
dering whether they have discovered a won
derful coincidence of artistic inspiration, or
are being made the victims of a practical
joke. The mystery comes of the submission
by the Boston art jury of Isaac Caliya's
painting, 1.-The Guardian Angel" The paint
ing seems to be a copy of picture of the
same title by Abbott III. Thayer. If a copy,
the fact was not made known by the Boston
jury, nor does Caliga's painting announce
the fact. An investigation was made to-
day.

was to earn an honest living He was a

ham house, early in the morning. The
floor collapsed only a moment after
her majesty, suddenly awakened by
her maid of honor, fed from the apart.
ment, clad only in a dressing gown.
The bed on which she had been asleep
fell into the flames.
The blaze was started by defective
insulation of an electric light wire,
which set fire to beam beneath the
floor of the queens apartment.
Maid of Honor Is Heroine.
The Hon. Charlotte Knollys, maid of
honor to the queen, occupied the apart
ment directly beneath and was the first
to discover the fire. She was awakened
at 3 O'Clock in the morning by the
smoke which filled her bedroom. She
realized that the first thing to be
done was to arouse the queen.
Running up the stairs Miss Knollys
entered her majesty's room, and wax
ing the queen from a sound sleep told
her of the discovery of the fire. The
queen and Miss Knollys, donning
dressing gowns, left the royal bedroom
with all speed and moment later the
floor of the room fell in.
The whole household at Sandring-
ham was quickly aroused. Fortunately
there is an excellent household fire
brigade, and within a few moments
OF the alarm the members of the bri-
gade had been summoned and were en-.
gagged in extinguishing the fire.
Fire in Two Rooms.
The work was supervised by Sir
Dighton Probyn, the queens secre-
tary, while her majesty and Miss
Knollys remained about for some time
until it was apparent that the flames
had been suppressed. The fire was
confined to the two bedrooms, and the
damage is estimated at only few hun
dred pounds, caused largely by water.
King Edward, who is attending q
shooting party at Elvedon hall Suffolk,
was apprised of the news at an early
hour, and later special messenger
was sent by the queen to reassure his
majesty.
