MYSTERY IN PAINTING.
Canvas Seized by Customs Officials Has
Doubtful Value.

A box about by 4 by feet was found
on Ellis Island yesterday among some bag
gage owned by Henry Berenger who ar
rived here last Friday in the steerage of
the Mauretania. It's odd size caused the
immigration officials to open it, and when
two or three boards were removed, il was
found that the box contained an oil paint
ing. apparently of great age.
Several inspectors, who professed to know
something of art in d small way, said the
painting, which was of two women in the
nude. looked if ii might be the work of
an old master. Others who saw the picture
said it was an ordinary painting, of little
or no merit. The box, which bore the name
OF III Berenger," and the instructions
Household goods Please Handle with
care" was sent to the Appraisers Stores.
George w. Wanmaker the Appraiser of the
Port. said it would be several days before
the canvas could be examined.
According 10 the Mauretania's manifest,
Henry Berenger and his son Frank were
steerage passengers and were sent with
other aliens TO Ellis Island. Berenger was
released from the island. and, according 10
the address given on the manifest, he went
to No. l35 West 6lst street

TOMORROW is, and should be, the
happy, gladstone, merry day of all the
year. 1t is the one day of the twelve
month that is recognized wherever
civilization has a foothold. Through
out all christaindom, among all classes
and conditions of men, the influence of
Christmas is felt, the spirit of the bet
ter side and nature of the individual is
in the ascendency. 1t is not day OF
celebration so much as observation,
observation in the manifestation of
kindness, good cheer, good will one
| unto aAother. Custom has marked it
as "a time for the performance of good
deeds, for thinking of and mitigating
hardships of the less fortunate, for the
exchange of remembrances, the exer-
else of christian charity in thought,
and word, and deed. To the child it is
a season of keen anticipation, and may
there not be single disappointment
among expectant childhood in this COM
munity. 1t is a time when it is shin
ing virtue to be generous, and liberal,
and the aim of every individual should
be to bring some joy, some sunshine,
some happiness into some heart. May
tomorrow be a merry, joyous, hap
ply Christmas to one and all is the wish
