Revolution and voted for his Kings
execution.
The Dukes treachery. as we all know
did not save him from the guillotine, and
after HIS execution his fair English friend
had some difficulty In escaping with her
life from the revolutionists. She got away
10 England disguised as a sailor. The
story OF her adventures during the French
Revolution was published in 1859. Her
portrait was acquired by Mr.. Vanderbilt
from the collection OF the Marquis OF
Choimondeley.
Another fine picture OF the English eish.
teenth century school In the Vanderbilt
bequest is the portrait OF Colonel George
Coussmaker, of the Grenadier Guards, by
Sir Joshua Reynolds.
The most ancient picture I'm this be-
quest is the portrait OF Lady Guildford.
painted by Hans Holbein in 1877 Its an.
cient character IL indicated by the fact
that II is painted on wood. The com
panion OF this picture, a portrait OF Lord
Guldford, King Henry Wills Master OF
the Horse and Comptroller OF the Royal
Household, hangs in Windsor Castle. Lori
and Lady Guildford were prominent In the
affairs of the six times married King, and
many of the family were beheaded for
eriticining his matrimonial plans.
The two pieces OF furniture In the Van
derbiit collection are OF exceptional his
torical interest. They came from the Petit
Trisnon. the little palace at versailles
where poor Queen Marie Antoinette played
ri being a farmers wife and thereby ex-
cited criticism among her court and
people,

One piece Ia q commode, a kind OF side
table. II has a black marble top and three
drawers and Ia Z feet q inch in height
and feet 81 inches in width. The other
piece Is a "secretaire," containing desk
and a series Of compartments and drawers.
Both pieces are OF ebony, decorated with
panels OF black and gold lacquer and elab
orately ornamented with gilt bronze
mounts of floral garlands, wreaths and
horns of plenty. They are remarkably
sumptuous examples OF French eighteenth
century furniture.
The remaining pictures in the bequcst
are "A Scene in . Courtyard" by PETER de
Hooch: View on the Mas" by Cuyp
Entrance to a Dutch Port" by Willem
Van de veide: THE Broken Eggs" by
Jean Baptiste Greuze, and Head OF
Danae," by Greuze.
The value OF the collection has been esti.
mated by a connoisseur at S1,3OO,0OO.
II is, OF course, impossible TO place an
exact valuation on such works until they
are sold, as the prices paid depend on what
wealthy collectors are willing to pay for
them at a certain time. j Pierpont Nor
gan, BENJAMIN Altman and Henry c. Frick
have paid the highest prices recorded
for old masters IN recent years. 1t may
he that there Ia nobody at the present
moment who will give such sums as these
men, and yet II Is highly probable that even
their bids will be exceeded. The objects In
the present collection were bought by Mr.
Vanderbilt about thirty years ago and most
In value. according TO the standards OF re-
cent sales.

The work of these artists reflects the
height Of charm and grace in social life.
One OF the greatest artists Of the school
is Fras onard His series OF panels de-
picting incidents of the lie Of Madame III
Barry was valued by the tax appraiser
after J. p Morgan's death at $3.50 ,000
which was presumably a low estimate
From this one can Judge how highly these
charming works are valued by great col
lcctors.
One OF the most important pictures in
the Vanderbilt gift is The Noble Siav"
by Rembrandt. II bears the signature II
tie master and the date 1852 Experts
state that this is one OF the greatest OF
Rembrandt's earlier pictures When ii is
Remembered that BENJAMIN Altman paid
S75OOoO and 100000 for single 6ne ex.
amples OF Rembrandts works, some idea
may be formed OF their value.
The vande rbiit Rembrandt shows a dig.
nifed mau OF middle age wearing a turban
and rich robes. On his breast Is a gold
badge, presumably that of an order Of
knighthuod. There has always been some
uncertainty as TO who was the original OF
this portrait. II is generally believed TO
be that Of q Polish noblemsn, although
some critics have argued that II shows a
resemblance to Rembrandts father.

plays by Dealers.

The annual convention of the Kan
sas State Florists association will be
held in Topeka, at the Elks' CLUB
rooms, Thursday and Friday of this
week.

bers is expected, according to James
Hayes, jr., secretary, who says there
are nearly that many registered up to
the present time.
second Florists Convention.
This is the second convention for
the florists and a busy program has
first convention was held last year at
Wichita
All of the day Thursday will be
spent in viewing the trade exhibits and
in visiting the stores and greenhouses
of Topeka, with a dinner at the Elks'
club at $40 o'clock in the eFening,
at which time c. E. Hubbard, presi-
dent, will deliver an address, and there
will be several short talks by florists
from over the state.
The business sessions will be held
Friday, including election of officers,
a round table section and several pa
pers and discussions, the convention
closing with a picnic Friday evening
at the Boys Industrial school, where
the florists have been invited by Capt.
w. P. MacLean, superintendent of the
school.
One of the big features of the con-
vention will be the trade displays
which are already coming in. Dealers
from Kansas City, Chicago, M1lWau-
kee, La Porte, Ind, and a number of
other places will be represented. Local
firms which will enter displays are
the Central Topeka Paper company
and the Topeka Steam Boiler Works.
These firms are representative of those
selling supplies to florists, and if the
announcement that the local boiler
works company is going to enter a
display creates any surprise at first, 1t
must be remembered that there would
be no posies during the winter time
if it wasn't for the boilers in the
greenhouses. These displays will be
found on the second floor of the Elks'
building.

Big Devil Fish
Plays The Devil
With Sea Bdthers

Papeete Tahiti, Aug. 2.-Terrors at
tending sea bathing at Tahiti, already
numerous, have been increased by re-
ports that a giant devil fish was seen
recently lowering around the island.
First reports were received when
natives came into Papette with tale
of having been attacked by a giant
octopus about two miles east of here.
Their story was not given much Gre
dence until sailors aboard the bark
Roy Summers, which arrived a few
days later. told of sighting near here
a huge fish of the squid type.
AS a result few people are ventur-
ing into the sea. Besides the devil
fish there is. the ever-present shark
and a wicked fish called the Nohu.
which buries itself in the sand just off
the shore and gives a poisonous sting
to bathers unfortunate enough to step
on it.. Then, too, there is a certain
kind of coral which causes blood poi
son If it cuts the skin.
Tahitian natives, whenever they
chance to get wet with sea water. al
ways wash in fresh water when arrivs-
ing ashore and as for the whites. sea
bathing is too dangerous to be pleas
ant.

Campbell crawls to the top of the
plane, gets out on the wing and stands
erect Then he hangs from the wings,
and later from the landing gears. by
his knees. He walks about between the
wings as calmly as the ordinary citi-
zen would walk in a passenger coach.
And needless to say, he is looking
death in the face every minute.
Last year Harry Buff, well known
Topeka flyer, piloted the machine on
which Campbell performed his stunts.
1t is essential that he have a careful
and experienced pilot, as the shifting
weight of the man walking about on
the wings renders the machine liable
to capsize.-
