A FAMOUS PICTURE MATCHED
Companion Piece Of a Painting In the
Frankfort Museum IL In
America.

One Of the most widely.known col.
lectors Of old masters In this country
recently has acquired from the Enrich
galleries two canvases for his coilec.
tion. These are Portraits OF Frau
Urmillsr and Daughter" by q Suabian
master Of about 1895. and q Portrait
OF Venetian Lady" by Bernadino
Licinto (about 1540).
Especially interesting In connection
with the example OF early South Ger.
man portraiture is the fact that 1t is
the companion piece to painting In
the frankfort museum. representing
Herr Urmiller and son. Until four or
five years ago the Frankfort work was
always attributed to and admired as a
Holbeiu. The latest criticism, how,
ever, has attributed the painting to
some unknown but extraordinary mas.
ter who painted In the neighborhood
of Augsburg in the first half OF the
sixteenth century.
Licinio, whose work consists prin.
cipaHy OF portraits and family groups,
worked during the greater part OF his
life In Venice and indicates the in.
fiuence Of Titan. Examples of his pic.
lures are found in the principal gal.
leries of Europe. The delicacy OF out.
line. richness Of color and purity OF
condition make the picture recently
acquired from the Enrich galleries q
notable example of Licinia's work.

Clinton, Sept. 1l.--All of the larger
up-river cities will send large delega-
lions to Winona next week, to attend
the eighth annual convention of the
Upper Mississippi River improvements
Association, secured for the Minnesota
city in competition with st. Paul at the
seventh convention in Clinton last Sep
tember
In connection with the Winona river
meeting, it is interesting to note that
the work of improving the upper Mis-
sissippi was commenced in the year
1857, when congress appropriated the
sum Of $4,000 for the purpose of re-
moving snags and overhanging trees
which were an impeachment to naviga-
ton. Until 1888, when larger appro-
priations were made and the river inn
proyement was carried on on larger
scale, this annual appropriation was
made. For many years the old snag-
puller Montana was operated, followed
by the General Bernard, and two de-
cades later by the Col "A. Mackenzie.
Systematic improvement of the upper
Mississippi dates from the year 1873.
Since then the improvement has been
along the line which is still followed by
the government engineers, in their
plans involving a six foot channel from
St. Paul to Cairo. Up to date, about
'S13,000,000 has been expended in river
Improvement. A thorough investiga-
ton has convinced the national rivers
and harbors committee that 100000
900 more will be required to complete
the six foot channel in the upper
Mississippi.
At the Winona convention interesting
reports will be made, showing the pro-
gress made by the government engi-
neers in the past year in river improve
ment, and the work of the association
in furthering their great plan.
