We suffer from no oppression; we

mission or the courts, and we want no

The painting is one of the treasures of
art. The artist died ten years ago, and
his greatest legacy to art was this mas
terp1ece IN drawing and color and poetic
conception. The work is owned by F. E.

ued at $4,000. The sum seems at first
startling, but one who has seen the
marvellous picture is easily convinced of
its rarity and it's distinguished place in
the art world. The hand which drew
and colored and the mind which con
ceived The Blacksmith were en-
lowed with genius. At first the picture
appeals because of it's wonderful real

the fine drawing in the face Of the

the subject impresses one as a tribute
to the beauty of drudgery. The arms
of the worker are splendidly done, their
muscles and cords not only perfectly
drawn, but seeming to express the most
subtle meaning Of labor.
But the most marvellous effect the ar
fist has obtained in his picture is in the
natural and artificial lights. The sun

over his task his face and bare arms

BOGUS EMPRESS
DUPES ITALIANS
Boston Natives Of Sunny Italy
swindled by Alleged Aus
trian Heir.

Boston, May 15.-A woman who
claimed to be Carlotta, the wife of
Macmillan, formerly emperor Of Mexi-
co, and brother Of Francis Joseph, pres
ent emperor of Austria, has, according
to the Herald, left the city after secur-
ing some $4,000 from members of the
Italian colony on the pretense that she
was the rightfu l., claimant OF the Aus
trian throne. The Herald says:
She is being sought by over one hun
dred residents Of the North End district.
who for almost eight years have been
paying her money to enable her, as they
supposed, to gain possession of the Aus
trian throne, upon which event taking
place she promised that those who helped
her would be made ministers and noble
men and be given vast estates.
Would Be Duchess.
One woman, the wife Of a prominent
Italian, gave her $4,000 on the promise
that she should be duchess. An organ
grinder contributed a few hundred dol
lars, all his savings on the understanding
that he should be made court musician.
Hundreds contributed tens and hundreds
on similar assurances.
Many Italian residents secretly visited
her at her royal headquarters, a hand
on the corner of two South End streets
where the pseudo empress sat on an i'm
posing throne, respondent in red cloth and
tinsel, and graciously allowed them tc
kiss her hand on the occasions on which
they brought her tributes of money. Al
each side Of the throne stood courtiers
and bodyguard who clanked stage
arms.
Mysterious Secrets.
Mysterious secrets such as would over.
throw the present Austrian ruler were
credited to this woman. When she ap
peared in Boston eight years ago it wa:
mysteriously whispered among the few
in the North End that Carlotta, sister-in
! law Of Emperor Francis Joseph, was IL
Boston in disguise, having escaped from
Brussels, where she had for many year
been confined in an asylum.
Italians are fairly familiar with Aus
TRAN history, and when they were toll
that Carlotta had come here to collect
few faithful followers on whom she coul
rely, and enough money to return t
Austria and use in connection with he
all-powerful secrets, and that those VIII
aided her would bask when she gained tn
throne. In her royal favor, they believe
| their fortunes were made.
