The Last Supper"

painting required many years Of patient
labor. and AS a result of that labor il

In addition to these qualities. il has IN
incident i'll its history that contributes
not Il little toward making il tn, great
teacher that it is.
1t Is said that the artist. i'll painting
the faces of the apostles. studied the
c~ountenances of good men whom he
knew. When, however. he was ready
To paint the face of Jesus i'll the picture
lie co0ld find none that would satisfy
his conception. The face that would
serve rs Il model for the face of Christ
must he dignitic1 III its simplicity and
majestic in its sweetness. After several
years of careful search the painter
happened to meet one. Pietro Bandinclli
a choir boy of exquisite voice, belong
ing to the cathedral. Bang struck by
the beautiful features and tender
manner that bespoke an angelic soul,
h artist induce the boy to bc the study
for the painting Of the face of Jesus.
All was done most carefully and
revcrently. but the picture was rs yet
incomplete, for the face Of Judas was
absent. Again the painter. with the
zeal Of Il true lover of his art, set about
in search of a cOuntenancc that might
serve for the face of the traitor. Some
years passed before his search was re-
warded and the picture finally com
pletcd. As the artist was about To dis
miss the miserable and degraded wretch
who had been his awful choice the man
looked up to him and said. You have
painted me before" Mortified and
dumb with anaZcment. the painter
learned that the man was Pietro
Bandincll. During those Intervening
years Pictro had been mt Rome studying
music, had met with evil COMPANIONS,
had given himself up to to drinking and
gambling, had fallen into shameful
dissipation and crime. The face that
now was the model for the face of
Judas had once been the model for the
face OF Christ.-BrOoklyn Eagle.

Judge Ht1q.r,A.s Meeting

Judge Fitzgerald delivered his mess
age to the people of Elko last night.
When the meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Baron. there were probably
fifty people in the Opera House. This
number was gradually increased until
there was n pretty fair sized audience
ut the close of the meeting.
The Judge confined his remarks al
most exclusively TO the police bill. He
claimed hat the bill WAS 4 violation of
the constitution of the United States
and of the State of Nevada. He spoke
of the immense powers given TO the
members of the police force and dwelt
ut length upon how those powers could
be abused. He claimed that under the
law Nevada might have a standing
army of ISL men to overawe them and
take away their liberty. He forgot
to state, however, that no peaceable
citizen had been molested by the state
police since the law WAS approved by
Governor Sparks. He went on from
start to finish TO set up men of straw
and hen proceeded I o knock them
down. lie also claimed that the demo
cratic party in the Tonopah platform
pledged itself 10 abuse the power given
to the state police force. His argument
along this line was no more absurd
than his other arguments.
He discussed the panic briefly and
claimed that he knew the cause and the
remedy and if sent 10 congress he would
devote his energies toward giving the
country n cure for panics. He did not
tell his audience what that cure WAS.
The audience listened respectfully 10
his remarks and at their close gave him
a hearty round of applause.
Seated on the platform as representa-
tives of Hearst's party We're Mr.. Baron,
George Lindsay, j. C. Mckinney,
George Butler, John levitt, James
Lund, X. G.. MeSserly and two or three
others whose names the reporter did
not know. Happy Hooligan SAYS Judge
Fitzgerald was "A misfit.

Tariff Made Fortunes

The Philadelphia Record. discussing
the millions left by the late tin-plate
multi-millionairc w. b. Leeds. shows
how such fortunes are made by the
tariff, thus;
Under the democratic tariff of 1891
there was a duty too high, in fact of
$50 a ton OH tinplatc. But that was not
enough to crafty the greed of the rom,
bind manufacturers and through their
representative and attorney in congress,
John Dalzell, they secured an increase
of 30 per cent, in the duty in the
Dinglcy tariff. The tinplatc associa.
ton had sent ont its corruption agents
with abundant supplies of money Ia
defeat democratic members of congress
who resisted its rapacious demands, and
it claimed its reward. For every article
the tinplatc trust produces, including
the empty dinner pail, American con
sumcrs must pay tribute To monopoly.
The duty is, in fact. prohihitory. Dur.
ing the year 1907 the importations of
tiuplatc amounted to %. 7O5 tons. or the
value of s I ,iG2, 522. Bat all this goes
back under drawback of the duty rs
covering Of meats, oil, fish and other
American exports. Foreigners get the
benefit Of the drawback. and American
consumers continue to pay an cxorbitant
tribntc to the trust, one of the especial
favoritcs Of republican legislation. Is
there any hope of "A reduction Of duty
on tinplate should n republican majority
DE elected to the next cOngrcssg Not
the slightest"

yentilators tcld those on deck of the
accident, and Lieutenant Commander
S. S. Robinson, the navigator, in-
stantly sounded a general alarm and
dropped twenty lines of hose ready
for use in case of fire. Within the
doomed fire room, No. 8, amidship
on the starboard, which is one of the
sixteen inclosed fire compartments,
the surviving seamen were fighting
for life. A. Rhengold and George
Meeks were stricken dead at their
posts. B. c. Boggs and George Wood
crawled, or were dragged into the
adjoining fire room and died almost
Immediately. The surviving seven,
all of whom received some injury,
acted with the greatest heroism in
aiding their unfortunate mates.
Rear Admiral Sebree himself es-
capped death or serious injury in the
fire pit by a mere moments time. He
had left the room where the explosion
occurred not fifty seconds before, At
the time the admiral stood in the
engine room adjoining the fire room
with C1ief Eugineer Robertson and
Captain Howard. His first intimation
of the tragedy was as he mounted
the ladde' aud half-naked fireman
leaped past him suffering from
scalds. When the smoke came from
he fire rCon. the fire call was sound
ed and all the crew went to their
stations in perfect order and in a
few seconds fifteen or twenty lines
of hose were ready to turn on the
water. Several of the crew behaved
with heroism and will be reported to
the department later when full par
ticulars are known.

SITE FOR FEDERAL BUILDING
Proposal 90 Purchase Grounds to be
Considered by Government.

Proposal 60 Purchase Grounds to be
Considered by Government.
Postmaster McClain has received
notice from the postoffice department
at Washington that the treasury de-
partment will soon invite proposals
for the sale or donation of a suit
able site for a federal building. An
appropriation of 100000 for the pur-
chase of site and construction of a
building was made by congress just
before it's adjournment last week.
All proposals for the sites will be
opened in Washington and soon
thereafter an agent of the treasury
department will be sent here to make
personal examination of the pro-
posed locations and such other as he
deems desirable. Upon his report,
together with representations in
writing from other sources, the de-
partment selects the site, and if the
property is to be acquired by pur-
chase, accepts the offer of the sue
cessful bidder, subject to the con-
ditions stated in the advertisement
and the attorney generals approval
of the title.
