A Magnificent
Painting
Matthias Aliens Celebrated Picture,
"The Two Marys at the Tomb"
to be Exhibited at Done
lan's Store,

Next Monday morning, April 20. this
celebrated painting. which has attract
ed the attention of the artist world,
will be placed on exhibition on the
second floor in Donelan's.
This painting is now being exhibited
at Younker's in Des Moines. where 1t
is being viewed daily by thousands of
people. Mr.. Donelan at much expense
has made arrangements whereby this
famous picture Will be exhibited free
of charge to all these who visit the
store during the two weeks from April
% to May 4. This is an opportunity
to see one of the most noted of the
worlds paintings. 1t is valued at $40,
900 and was finished in 1871.
Regarding this wonderful picture,
one of the most able art critics of Eur
ope. wrote:
Zone glance at this will convince
any art student, artist or critic that
Alien does not draw from imagination,
for the attention paid, not only to
anatomy and drawing, but as we'll to
ccloring and lighting is one of the
properties that has lifted Alien to the
exalted position ne occupies in the
art world, and will ultimately place
him upon the pedestal Of fame. Pee
haps you need not have your attention
drawn to the location of the Tomb in
which the eavious was lain, for the
Tomb itself Is not upon the canvas,
but its location is plainly visible. The
New Testament record teaches us that
when these two Marys, Mary Magda-
lene and Mary the mother of James
came to the Tomb, it was early in the
morning before the dawn OF day. They
found the tomb had been disturbed
and the great stone had been rolled
away. Upon looking into the tomb,
perhaps the first glimpse would indi-
cate that the body had been stolen
The expression on the face of Mary,
the Mother of James, would indicate
despair at seeing the empty tomb. The
peaceful, beautiful, hopeful expression
on the face of Mary Magdalene could
only be inspired by the Angel whom
she sees sitting at the place where
laid the head Of the Lord"

Mrs. Fred Giltner, residing north d

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-06-11
copied the following letter:

Dear Sirs-M. Forot. of this hotel. has given me your names as firm likely to transact certain negotiations for me. want to purchase a small property in the Mile End road. known as Johnson's s News, also a shop near the entrance to the news. tenanted by marine store dealer named O'Brien. The news Is owned by the Carciff and Havre Coal com pany, limited. I do not know who owns the shop. I wish to acquire these prop critics for a philanthropic purpose, but am most desirous that my name should not figure in the transaction. I propose, therefore, when you have ascertained the price, which should be at the earliest possible moment, to pay to your credit the requisite amount. You can have the properties transferred to any nominee you choose and again transferred to me- Kindly add your costs, etc., to the pur- chase price. My movements are some what uncertain, so please send all com munications by letter. It will be an obli- gation and lead to future business if you attend to this matter tomorrow morning Yours faithfully. PHILIP ANSON.
 He did not compose this letter with out considerable trouble The "philan- thropic purpose" he had already decid- ed upon, but he thought it was rather clever to refer to the possibilities of future business"
 AS for the double transfer, he dis tinctly remembered copying letters dealing with several such transactions at the time of the coal company's con- version into a limited liability con cern.
 He was early to bed, and his rest was not disturbed by dreams. He rose long before the ordinary residents. Deferring his breakfast, he walked to Fleet street and purchased copies of morning and evening papers for the whole of the week. -
 He could thus enjoy the rare luxury of seeing himself as others saw him
 He read the perfervid descriptions of the scene in court and found himself -1riously described as pert" mas,
