From Fi May's Daily
Last evening the Young Men's
Class of the Presbyterian church, of
I which George L. Farley is the teach-
I er, acted as the hosts to the young la-
dies classes of the Sunday school
j which are taught by Misses Clara j

casion was one of the greatest of
pleasure to an of the thirty-five j
young people who were in attend

the attendance but those who were
present will long very pleasantly re-
member the occasion.

PAINTING BY ONE
OF THE OLD TIME
MASTERS HERE'
Dr. J. S. Livingston of This City Pos
sesses Painting; of " Madonna of
the Rose" by Raphael.
Pre
Thursday's nily
For the past few years. Dr. J. S.
Livingston of this city has possessed
I'm Ullllf, s 1 iiwuc-i iiii- v, mm i .
valued very highly for its beauty cf
workmanship, which has in the last
tew months been reviewed by a num

points to the fact that the painting

Raphael, the great Italian artist of j
t i : c loiirteoTiili century or ins pupil,
I'ndine.
The painting was taken to New
York by Dr. Livingston and submit
ted to the leading judges of art work
in that cily and a number of whom
have a world wide reputation in
judging the work-; of ur and with
these critics the pointing is acclaim
ed as that of t!:r world f-i:nou "Ma

ing of the great Raphael, whose art
works are treasure! in the galleries
of the old world and a number of
vhov:f relu:imi- r.rinting:; are a part
of the noted gallery in the Vatican
at liomt'. The picture has ali the
appearances of grer.t age and is now
in New York where it is being lean
' d by i-xperts who hone to restore it
to the original beauly. -: it had ap
i::rrt'if ly be?n f r. rp.K-nt ly varnished
and treated in the p'v-t years before
it Pi;.e into the hands of Dr. Living
ston. "Th Madonna of the Rose" was
reported as last bc-ir.; shown at Chris
ties in London in 1S5 1 and since that
time has been little heard of, and it
is not beyond the possibilities that
in one of the mysterious cases of the
disappearance of famous paintings,
the picture was brought to America
years ago and from several hands was
iir.ally secured by Dr. Livingston.
The !:istory of the painting as far
as kiown dates back twenty-five
years ' ago vheq it. was presented to
i'rr fik ' Werrtn by George H: htint
ii!;;ton, a riu.-iciau at Denver. Mr.
Huntington being e.n old friend of
Mr. Warren, who was then engaged
i- the thenrrifFl bu'-'ineKs ft Denver
and wk:i the Huntington family loft
th; t citv t'lcy presented the old pic
ture to Mr. Vrarren. it not then being
-rvisidcred of any great value aside
i'r.un its beauty as a work of art. It
v:s 1 -roirrht here by Mr. Warren and
a few yeT-s ago was presented by the
Warren family to Dr. Livingston and
h:s hern greatly treasured by the
doctor for its wonderful workman
ship. Sometime ago the attention ot
the (kn tcr wixz called to the fac t that
the pi 'ture might 1." the work of one
of the old masters and he made a
number of inquiries that resulted in
very favorable replies and a more
thorough investigation gave encour
agement to the theory that the pic
ture was one of the early art works
of the great Raphael. Whether the
painting is finally decided as the
work of Raphael or his pupil, Undine,
it will have a great value and com
pared with other of the paintings by
this great artist should be worth from
$100,000 to $250,000.
THIRTEEN BELOW ZERO
AT SEVEN THIS W3M
From Timrsilr.y;- lailv
Real ice making weather was ex
perienced in this locality last night
and the mercury scaled down to 13
degrees below zero at the Burling
ton station at 7 o'clock this morning
and established the cqld record so
far this winter and one that has made
the task of getting around on the
streets Aery snappy and sharp.
The cold weather- at night has
served to keep the streets very clear
of cars and only one or two are to
be found parked on tho streets after
S o'clock and the auto owners are
finding some of the disagreeable fea
tures of automobiling in the hand
ling of the cold and frozen-up cars.
A continuation of this weather for
a few days will result in the freezing
of ice of sufficient thickness to be
stored profitably and it is expected
that by the first of the week the ice
harvest will be on in dead earnest.
