How a Great canva. wn. Move

How Great Canvas Was Moved.
The moving of a painting from a
pavilion of the city of Paris in the
Champs Elysees to the Auteuil gallery
offered very difficult problem to the
Paris city authorities. The painting,
by NJ. Roll, representing the celebration
Of July IA, is thirty-two feet long by
twenty three feet high and with the
massive frame weighs over 1900
pounds. 1t was impossible to move the
painting in the ordinary way, by TAX
ing the canvas off the frame and roll
ing 1t, for the painting, being varnish-
ed, would probably have cracked In
several places. It was therefore deciG-
ed to move the canvas and frame as a
whole. After much elaboration a spe-
cial chariot was constructed over two
Of the floats which were used in the
Mardi Gras procession. The city en-
gineer, with eight laborers. proceeded
to the pavilion, and the painting was
carried by eight men, sight others brac-
ing the upper part of the picture to
keep it in an upright position until it
was deposited in the chariot 1t was
finally got ont without accident and
slid upon creased planks upon the
chariot. Arrived at the Gallerie d'Au-
teuil, the picture was similarly carried
to its new quarters. The painting is
one Of the largest in existence and was
painted by order OF the French gov
eminent In 1880 to perpetuate the men,
ory Of the first national holiday Of the
third republic.

of De Raglan to appropriate money
sent by Chicago relatives to friends

made the excuse was offered that the
money probably had been taken by
revolutionists. The matter has been
reported to the states attorney and

MELON CUTTING
IN WALL STREET
Interest and Dividends Aggregating
Over 5000, 100000 Will Be
Paid Out.

New York, Jan. 1.-There will be
distributed during the first month Of
the new year in New York city inter
est and dividends aggregating over
2OO,OOOOOO. This is the largest sum
that will ever have been paid out to
stock and bond holders in the history
of Wall street and marks the end of
one Of the most prosperous years in
the history of the country.
While the first half of 1906 was nota-
bic for increased distributions to cor
porate stockholders, through increased
or extra dividends, resumption of
dividends or beginning of dividends.
the second half of the year was even
more conspicuous in these respects.
Conservatism has been the rule in most
Of the dividend increases. In the ma
jority of cases the increases have been
within the large SURPRISES shown after
the payment of fixed charges.

Eighteenth Century Life.

These brief extracts from the letters
Of Elizabeth Montagu, the queen Of
the bluestockings," throws a curious
light on eighteenth century life in Eng
land. She was suffering from swell
ed lip. Promptly the great DR.. Mead
prescribed a blister to her back. She
writes: II am better than / was; but,
my mouth not being yet perfectly re-
duced, have got fresh blister upon
my back. Well may it bend with such
a weight of calamities. have sent for
my bathing cloathes and ON Sunday
night shall take a souze. / think it a
pleasant remedy" Apparently in TAI
lady could not take bath even on
Sunday night and in the privacy Of
her chamber without her bathing
cloathes." Mrs. Montagu writes again:
''My lip is not entirely reduced, though
l have been blistered twice, once blood
ed, and have five times taken physic,
have lived upon chicken and white
meats and drank nothing but water
have suffered great disappointment
about the warm bath which / am ad-
vised to try, for the bathing tubs are
so out Of order that we have not yet
been able to make them hold water"

railroad at Terra Gotta, a station about
three miles from Washington. A dead
head train ran into the Frederick To-
cal. Three cars of the local were COM

tcndent Of transportation of the Balti-
more and Ohio, stated that it was i'm

the wreck
"Most Modern Block System"
He said: eve have on this division
the most modern block system. just
what occurred we are unable at this
hour to say; because of the confusion
incident to the collision and of the car
ing for the dead and injured we have
been unable to consider the causes. We
have not yet Intercepted the opera

certain what the situation was. We
shall institute Immediately an inquiry
into the causes of the collision.
Occurred in a Dense Fog.
The dead bodies were found lying
beside the track for a considerable dis
lance. The wreck occurred at 6:39 p.

made objects perceptible but a few
feet ahead. Those passengers in the
forward coach, who were but slightly
bruised. heard the groans of the dying
and wounded and did what they could
to give aid. District Attorney d. w.

walked the one and quarter miles
to BrOOkland and brought the first
news of the wreck. He was complete

CHINA IS TO APPEAL
Wants Europe and the United States
to Give Her Starving People
81, 25O,OOO.

Victoria, B. c.. Dec 2S.-Reports are
brought by the Tosu Maru that Chan
has decided to appeal to Europe and
the United States for $1,25O,OOO for re-
lief of famine sufferers in central
China. where 100000 people are fac
ing starvation this winter. A foreign
er who reached Shanghai from the
famine district says that men and wo-
men almost naked are seen by the road
side starving. Refugees were met who
had tramped from Human.
The famine threatens to equal the
appalling one thirty years ago, which
devastated the northern provinces and
caused hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie to perish. From one point the out
look is worse, as the district is more
thickly populated than it was at that
time.

Basis of the Indictments.
Six indictments were returned

but all are based on the one transac-
ton known as the "Prussian loan," the
specification under the charge of fOrg-
cry being the Justification of bOOkkeep-
ing entries. It is alleged that certain
railway stocks were transferred by
the insurance company to the security

jury Inclined To Be Lenient.
The grand jury coupled with the
indictments a statement that the in
dictmcnts were returned only under g
strict Interpretation of the law as it
Was laid down to them by District
Attorney Jerome. This statement was
in official confirmation of the reports
which had spread about the criminal
courts building, where the grand jury
was in session, to the effect that the
jurors were not at all convinced by
the evidence placed before them that
crime had been committed in the so
called 'Prussian loan" transaction.
