It is re- | ported that the picture is now in the Gardner collection at Boston. The Loschi Palace was designed by Calderari, who with Palladio and Scamozzi formed that trinity iIn architecture which rendered Vicenza famous. BOSTON, Jan. 1.—Mrs. John L. Gariner, who owns the famous art collection in this city, would not discuss to-day the dispatch from Rome. concerning the dis- appearance of the picture, “Christ With the Cross,” by Giorgione, except to say that she knew nothing of the disappear- ance of a noted painting from Vicenza. However, the public catalogue of Mrs. Gardner's art collection indicated that it contains Giorgione’s ‘“Head of Christ,” and that this picture came from the Casa Loschi, Vicenza. An inquiry among artists in this city to- | day developed the opinion that the picture i | of Gilorgione catalogued in Mrs. Gard- | ner's collection is undoubtedly the same | referred to as having disappeared from |the Loschi Palace at Vicenza. It | was pointed out that in a book upon Gior- | gione the statement is found that the | picture known as “Christ Bearing the | Cross,” formerly in the Casa Loschi at | Vicenza now belongs to Mrs. Gardner of | Boston. The picture is about one foot eight inches by one foot four inches, and is painted on wood. It represents the head and shoulders of Christ. The cross is borne over the right shoulder and behind the head. Local artists to-day pointed out that whatever importance may be attached to the disappearance of this picture in Italy, no secrecy prevails in this country with reference to the painting. It has been seen by the public in Mrs. Gardner's col- lection for several years past and has been referred to in several books on art | | as being the property of Mrs. Gardner. | ———— Paris has the biggest debt of any city in the world.

TUnder her patronage the Home Club, with its classic edifice, near Arbor Villa was founded to advance the literary and soclal life.

Germany. Baron von Richthofen, the forelgn secretary, was informed a fortnight ago that the French Cabinet had serious fears of Germany’s intentions. The Secretary replied to his informant, who was fresh from Paris, that such apprehensions were wholly without cause, adding: “What could Germany gain by a war?” Inquiries were made here by French financlal interests last week as to the possibilities of Germany provoking a war with France and German bankers, who are extremely well informed politically, replied that there was not the slightest indication that the German Government contemplated aggressive action toward France. It was pointed out by one pow- erful interest that “a thousand reasons | existed against war where one existed for it.”" The apprehensions in France appear to be due to a reasonable certainty that | Germany will oppose France's position | at the Moroccan conference, now only a fortnight off, and also to the feeling that France's yellow book on Morocco | went rather too far in accusing Germany | jof assuming provocative attitude and charging her with bad faith. The French Government, it is asserted here, is aware that these charges placed Germany in an unpleasant light and that the German Government resents them and will reply | to them firmly. This reply may lead to | continued discussion in the press and be- tween the public men of the two coun- tries. British influence. it is said in Berlin, is known to be adding to the feeling of mistrust of Germany existing in France, ! especially in the case of non-official in- | fluence, such as recent utterances of Sir Charles Dilke and the military corre- spondence of the London Times last week.

PARIS, Jan. 1.—President Loubet’s New Year reception to the members of the dip- lomatic corps gave opportunity for a sig- nificant exchange of peace sentiments, evidently designed to offset the recent wave of pessimistic war talk. The usual military honors were rendered on the ar- rival of the Embassadors. The reception was held in the salon of the Elysee Palace. For the first time the Apostolic Nuncio did not make the pre- sentations, Count Tornielli, the Italian Embassador, taking his place as dean of the corps. Count Tornielli in extending to Presi- dent Loubet the felicitations of his col- leagues and himself said that he was not giving expression to mere formal senti- ments of fraternity. At the beginning of the year just closed, he said, the whole world suffered from a feeling of the deep- est depression, lightened only by the gen- eral conviction that moral action favor- ing the solidarity of the essential inter- ests and the pacific relations of the peo- pled represented by the diplomatic corps was assured by the support of France. The hope then expressed had been ful- filled, for which reason they congratu- lated themselves on having been wit- In another year from now you can be financially the same as you are to-day, or you can be several You can't find a- business man in this city who doesn’t use his Then why don’t you do likewise, you salaried man; SOLID waiting for the’ doors rent is ten, the average write to us for our Regular goc values.

Tha moral power attained by pacific ideas throughout the world has played a great part in this happy result. The persuasive authority of those ideas was never before thus demonstrated and we may draw therefrom the most favorable augurfes. Prince von Radolin. the German BEm- bassador, was present, having just re- turned from Berlin, where he was the guest of Emperor William and the Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Richt- hofen, during the consideration of the Franco-Germah relations.
