Found in Florence Chapel nnd lilt u Tha recent discovery in Florence of A fresco by Ghlrlandajo in the chapel of OgnlssanU la of more than usual Interest to Americans, as the principal n figures In the work of art are those of Amerigo Vespucci, who gave his name to our continent, and of other members of the illustrious family, says the Philadelphia Record. The precious fresco, of which Vasan speaks at length In his Life of Ghlrlandajo," was long thought to have been destroyed, as It was known that some parts of the walls of the Ognissantl chapel, which was owned by the Vespucci family, were destroyed and then rebuilt, and whitewashed. In 1616, and It was supposed that the famous portraits of the Vespucci family had disappeared at the same time. Toward the end of 1892 Guido Caroccl, in an article in Arte et Storla, entitled Amerigo Vespucci and Some Souvenirs of Florence and Its Environs, suggested the Idea of holding a national fete In Italy to celebrate the centenary of the mariner who had given his name to America, even though Columbus had discovered it before him. The outcome of the suggestion was a project of restoring the chapel of Ognissantl, and under the direction of M. Raggoll, the enthusiastic historian of Ognissantl, who had searched the archives of the convent, the statement of Vasan with regard to the frescoes was verified, and the Dead Christ," described by the old Italian, wtA revealed to modern eyes. a marble flagstone a madpnna, neFMto tunic, extends her anas like lmniWe supliwit Advocate, ound is Leba1if6the same name at eppuccl, Democratic organs, nerl,E(j n, so that the Democratic journ ii 'profile;' gfciXUP86 O! one clad Behind him are nV. two in a brochie dalmatW ltre on n monk, his head, who was a flw: ,he the friend of Savonavola. ceptor of the boy Amerlcul figure in velvet hood and the Href of a notary of the day Is the elder brother of the mariner, unfortunately muck damaged, while near by, almost touching the robe of the madonna.

Touching the precise date of the fresco no textual Indications other than that of VaBan Is yet reached, but it is evident that the work of art is one of the first done by Ghlrlandajo in the church, but not, according to chronology, one of the first works of the artist For art and for history the discovery is as valuable as it was Unhoped for, and presents much delicate material for discussion for critics tnd savants alike. long-hidde- Stand-ilJuv- er f pre-'pob- le Am-erlc- us 6HOULD READ THE PAPERS. with You er WE SELL THE BEST mezzo-sopran- os Mens Shoes, Ladies Shoes, Childrens Shoes.

During the terrible storm of March 27 and around England 'a vessel signaled for assistance ne& the Glrdler light, Margate, and anl attempt was thereupon made to launqh the lifeboat Quiver, belonging to the National Lifeboat institution. As the trolley was being turned round, however, in the urf to allow the Quiver to glide off, roe wheel came in contact with a rock ud could not be moved,' neither could the boat be launched. Eventually a rope was made, fast to the Quiver and she was hauled off and made fast to the jetty, but not until she had been seriously damaged by being bustled against the stone pier. Gallant efforts were made to save the horses attached to the trolley, but, owing to the heavy sea, the drivers were only able to uns. fasten the Just then a g iremendous sea struck the horses, them against the pier, where ;hey were repeatedly dashed. Three of the animals were drowned, and the iourth, with the dead horses attached :o it, by the harness, struggled for two lours, but no assistance could be and It too perished. The sea lowed over the parade, bringing large y islks of timber from the jetty and into the middle of the road. Mng and Children Slipper?.
