HISTORY OF THE PAINTING OF
RApHAEl'S LAST MADONNA.

About two years ago the art world
was startled by the announcement
that a painting by Raphael Madon-
ma and Christchild, which had dis
appeared from Italy during the Napo-
Ieonic wars-had been discovered IN
Boston by p. f. Duffee. And, curiously
enough, at the same time number
of old engravings and replicas were
brought to light, which only served
TO create some confusion about the
original. 1t remained for a Roman
Catholic priest, Rev. F. j. Glodt OF
Boston, to clear up the mystery. He
Is an enthusiastic art student and mas
made a speciality of the painters OF
the Renaissance, particularly Raphael.
He it was who discovered in this par
ticular painting the hidden symDol
which Raphael used and the rather
vague date of the painting. He saw
at a glance that it was an exquisite
example of Raphael's great work. HIS
conclusion was, This Boston picture
is undoubtedly the famous Madonna
Piccola Ganzaga," which Raphael nm
ished in 1920, the year he died. There
had been as much speculation over
its disappearance as over the disap-
pearance of the great Mona Lisa
from the Louvre. 1t was thought to
have been immured in some unknown
gallery in a private home.
Campori, an Italian critic, went
through the archives of the Gonzaga
family in Mantua in 1856 and discov-
cred some letters that were exchanged
between Isabella D'Este, who was an
art patroness of the Renaissance Pc
Rod, and her cousin, Augustine Con-
zaga. These letters concern two Ma
donnas by Raphael, one of them be-
lieved to be Raphael's Last Madonna,
completed in 1920. 1t remained In
Mantua from 1920 to 1923. Vincent
ii, Duke of Mantua, was at that time
at war and sold it to an agent OF
Charles of England, the greatest art
connossieur in Europe. The monarch
paid $4,000 pounds for the whole col
lection of some $50 pictures, among
them two Madonnas.
The people of Mantua were incensed
at the sale and the present Duke OF
fered Charles twice the price he had
paid for the painting. but without sue
cess. Twenty years later Charles
fell a victim to the Roundheads and
this great art collection was put up
at auction. The picture was secretly
bought by Philip ii of Spain for SoU
pounds. That was in 1853. and there
the painting remained until Napoleon
invaded Spain.
The painting then followed the LOT

RURAL DELIVERY SERVICE.

Among the experimental rural de
livery service routes put out by the
| Postoffice Department, several OF
them were assigned to Iowa, and here
the service was proven the most sat.
isfactOTy.
In 1898, the year of the war with
Spain, there were in the United
States only 14S rural postal carriers
covering a daily mileage OF 2900, at
a total annual cost of $50,241. Five
years later the number of rural car.
riers first crossed the 10000 line. In
1905 it passed 10000, in 1909 10000,
and last year was 4S,O52, with a daily
mileage of over 100000 at an annual
cost of $47,377,070. This service has
been of incalculable advantage to the
rural population, and goes far toward
making life on the farms more at
tractive.
1t is said that according to the
figures of formal bookkeeping rural
delivery has returned only 20 per
cent OF its cost. But the general
postal department is nearer estab-
lished self-support than before the
great army of rural carriers got to
work.
The $4,000 rural carriers who faith
fully make their daily rounds have
rendered possible the immense ex-
pension of the parcel post, which has
brought in a new era of rural trans.

JUDGE KNOWLES
IS ASSASS|NATED
RHODE ISLAND JURisT SHOT TO
DEATH AS HIS ZONE.
MURDER WITNESSED BY NO ONE
Victim is Shot From Ambush While
On His Way to Take Car For
Town-Known to Have Had En-.
emies Because of Litigation.

Providence, R. l., Sept 7.-Justice
Willis S. Knowles of the Eighth judi
cial district was assassinated just
after he had left his bungalow in
North Scituate to take a trolley car
for Providence. He received three bull
let wounds, two in the back and one
in the jaw. The attack occurred about
a hundred yards from the house and
apparently the shots came from
bushes that lined the village road
leading to the car line.
After having been wounded at least
once, the justice turned back and
nearly regained the gate opening into
his place when he fell dead.
The murder was witnessed by no
one except the assassins, who es-
capped. Later the police detained two
men on suspicion. They are Italian
labOrers and, according to the police,
one of them carried a loaded revolver
The body was found by Knowles
housekeeper, Mrs Warddell who had
run from the house when she heard
the shots fired. AS she reached the
lawn she says she heard a mans
voice with a foreign accent cry:
Now, judge, I've got you" She saw
no one, but that the voice came from
the shrubbery.
Justice Knowles was forty-eight
years of age and unmarried, His legal
residence was at Cranston, but he had
occupied the bungalow at North Sci.
tuate this summer. His office was in
Providence.
The police are proceeding on the
theory that he was killed in revenge
by some litigant against whom he had
given a decision. His circuit was
made up of the city of Cranston and
the towns Of Johnston. Foster and
Scituate, In each of which he held
court once a week.
The police subsequently exonerated
the two Italians detained. They are
looking for man who once was taken
into custody at the instigation of
Justice Knowles, who alleged that the
man had threatened his life.

AMERICAN GAME BIRDS.

With the beginning of the hunting
season, the variety and plenty OF the
North American huntsman's domain
is indicated in communication tC
the National Geographic Society from
Henry w. Henshaw, chief OF the
United States biological survey
which tells of American Game
Birds" Mr.. Henshaw Gnumerates
more than 100 kinds of game birds
common to this country's preserves
among which are 81 kinds OF duck
eight kinds of goose. eight kinds OF
quail, and five kinds of grouse While
Americas preserves are distinguished
among the hunting fields of the world
for their wealth of game, the write
shows that they are hunted with dan.
gerous thorOughness. He says:
America has always been a para,
disc for sportsmen, but of late years
the number of those whose chief re-
taxation is the pursuit of game has
greatly increased, and today there
are probably not far from five mil
lions who are interested in the puT-
suit of game! What this army of five
million hunters means to the large
and small game of America can bet
ter be imagined than described! Mod
ern guns and ammunition are of the
very best, and they are sold at prices
so low as to be within the reach of
all. Added to these very efficient
weapons for killing small game, are
innumerable devices for killing water
fowl, as sneak-boats, punt-guns, swiv-
el-guns, sail-boats, steam launches,
night floating, night lighting and 9TH
ers."
THE statement of the early chron-
iclers regarding the multitudes of
ducks, plover, and wild geese almost
defy belief. When, in the records of
the first part of the last century. one
reads of clouds of pigeons that re-
CURED three days to pass a given
point in a continuous moving stream,
and again of flocks estimated to con-
tain more than two billion birds.
credulity is taxed to the limit. Yet
not only one such focks was observ-
ed, but they were of periodic occur
renee during many years of our early
history, and the accounts of them are
too we'll attested to be doubted. AS
throwing curious sidelight on the
abundance of wild fowl and the hard
ships to which the slaves of the per
lod were subjected, | quote from Grin
mel, who states that in early days
slave owners, who hired out their
slaves, stipulated in the contract that
canvas back ducks should not be fed
to them more than twice each week."
A high money value is placed on
our game resources. Mr.. Hinshaw
states that Oregon values her game
resources, consisting largely of game
birds, at 100000 a year, while Cali
fornia and Maine each claim their
game to be worth $20,OOO,OOO year,
which suggests the enormous aggre-
gate value of the COuntry's game. Mr.,
Henshaw concludes his communica-
lion with an expression of the belief
hat the government and the people
Of the country should do all in their
power to protect and to bring about
1 rightful use of this rich heritage.

IS SUMMARIZED
ALLAN LINER HEsPERIAN SENT
TO THE BOTTOM.
SIX KILLED AN0 SIX INJURED
Three Hundred and Fifty Passengers
and Three Hundred of the Crew
Are Landed-TWo Americans
In the Crew.

London, Sept. 6. The British
steamer Hesperian, $500 tons, was
sunk by a German marine, six were
killed and six injured, while 81 9TH
ers were landed.
The Hesperian was sunk off the
Irish coast Sunday morning at CAT
O'Clock and most of those on board
the Hesperian were landed at
Queenstown. The officials gave out
this statement at $50 d. m, without
further comment.
Capt. Maine and other officials and
the crew were rescued. Ambassador
Paige said that the ship carried a
| AT gun counted and Americans on
board confirmed this report and Off
| Gals said that it might possibly be
true.
The last report was that so far as
he could ascertain only two American
members of the crew were aboard
this ship. Today reports were re.
ceived that there was little loss of
life.
Officials gave out statement that
$50 passengers and 500 men of the
crew were landed at Queenstown.
Mrs. Carberry, who is said to have
been in one of the boats, died of
shock. Another woman died in one
of the rescue boats. The injured
numbered 30. Passengers in two of
the boats were capsized in the dark
before they reached the water.
TWO or three American passengers
were reported missing. One Ameri-
can was injured. All passengers on
the boat are unanimous in their de-
clarations that the ship was attacked
without warning.
