sAENGERFEs1 OF THE NORTHWEST
Germany Singing Societies Gather in
st. Paul to Hold Annual Vocal
Contest.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 26.-Between
1900 and 1000 German singers, repre-
senting 76 singing societies belonging
to the Northwestern Saengerbund, are
take part in the twenty-second Saen-
gerfest of the Northwestern Saenger-
bund, which will open here this even
ing. Many of the singers are accom-
panied by ladies. Some Of the dele
cations are quite large, Milwaukee,
for instance, being represented by 800
men. The German singers of st. Paul
and the citizens in general have made
the most elaborate arrangements for
the reception and entertainment of the
visiting singers and have system
atized everything in the most admira-
BILE manner
In addition to the singers several
thousand excursionists have come to
this city, who availed themselves of
the low railroad rates, which enabled
them to take a trip to this beautiful
city at small expense. The hotels
down town are crowded. but the Wis
itOrs do not find it impossible to OBJ
tain quarters. Although the big au-
ditorium erected especially for the
saengerfest is not completed, there will
be no change in the program of the
festival as arranged by the local COM
mittee. Everything is in readiness for
the opening concert tonight, which
promises to be a great success. The
saengerfest will last four days and
will end with a grand popular picnic.
with music, singing, popular games,
dancing and speech making.

Sacred Painting is Unearhed in
Peculiar Manner
ITALIAN PEASANT GIRL REsPoNRIBLE
MIRACLE, SAY ITALIANS, WHEN
SACRED PICTURE is FOUND
WHERE INDICATED.

ROME. July 26.-Though they are
generally considered extinct elsewhere
Italy still continues to produce an
aboundant crop of miracles. A small
minority of skeptcs and scoffers may
attempt to explain it on natural
grounds, but the great bulk of the
popuIace are firmly convinced that the
discovery just made of the long
buried image of a saint is a miracle
pure and simple.
Angelina Parrella, a girl of 10, If
ANYTHING rather less Intelligent than
most peasant children of her age, who
lives in a village near Benevento, de-
clared that the Virgin had appeared
to her in a dream and told her that
in a certain place sacred picture
was buried and that it was her wish
it should be unearthed. Despite the
protests of the owner of the property,
a large number of peasants at once
began to dig for it at the spot 1ndi-
Gated by the child. They toiled all
day without finding anything and by
nightfall had lost all faith in Anglo
linas vision. But that night the child
had another dream in which she said
the Virgin again appeared to her and
told her that the men were to dig
deeper and in addition to the sacred
object they would also find a chisel.
With renewed energy they again set
to work next day with picks and SHOW
els At a depth of II feet they came
upon the foundations of an old build
ing. After making some excavations
between the walls they discovered
marble tablet on which an image of
St Francis had been cut. And to
make the proof the reality of the
chid's vision complete, alongside of
it was an old chise.
The place has been converted into
a sort of shrine to which thousands
of persons have already made a pill
grimage, leaving offerings to the
church behind them. And little Anglo
lima wonders why everyone has sud-
denly taken to petting her, and no.
body chides her for being slow and
stupid
How did she get the idea that what
she described as a sacred picture"
was buried where it was found? Was
it a mere coincidence? If so, can the
coincidence theory be stretched far
enough to cover the chisel, too? Or
was it the result of some subcOnscious
clairvOyant intelligence operating on
khe childs subcOnscious mind? Or
was it just a miracle

COMES FROM WEALTHY BUFFALO FAMIL\

JERSEY CITY, July ga burglar.
who claims to be DR.. Edward O..
Farnham, of a wealthy Buffalo fam
lily, and a former surgeon in the Unit
ed States army, with a record of SER
vice in the Philippines, was arrested
in Jersey City yesterday charged with
robbing the home of DR.. Burdette
Craig, at Highland avenue and the
Boulevard. the most fashionable Sec
ton of Jersey City Heights. Farnham
told Chief of Police Murphy the story
of his life last night, and it amazed
that veteran.
The young man said that he was a
victim of the morphine habit and had
been arrested a year ago in Cleveland
for a crime similar to the one he is
charged with committing yesterday.
For this he was convicted, he said,
and sentenced to three years impris-
onment and succeeded through influ-
entail friends in the spring of this
year in obtaining a release. He blamed
ing.
Farnham claims to be 25 years old,
and his manner is that of a person of
culture his speech that of man who
has a good education.
ha 6ro GOOD from
under a bed in DR.. Craig's home, he
had a revolver in one hand, but did
not attempt to use it. 1t was noticed
also that the middle finger of his left
hand had been recently clipped off,
and the police surmise that bullet
did it. Farnham would not tell Chief
Murphy how he came to lose the fin
ger. Murphy believes that the news
of the young mans arrest will lead
to the discovery that he has been i'm
plicated in some recent burglary.
