Anderson dropped back and Lisette crowded Into second place. Glaw won first, with Lisette second and Anderson third.

AUTHENTIC PAINTING OF CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN MARSHALL. Also an OH Painting of Pere Marquette that Is Unlike His Statue Miniature of Washington. CHICAGO, Dec. 23. Though lost and forgotten for nearly a quarter of a century, an authentic portrait of Chief Justice John Marshall, of the United States Supreme Court, has been discovered. For twentytwo years the portrait has hung in the home of II. M. Underwood, Waukegan, 111., and not until Adolph Moses, an attorney, began the agitation for an observance by the legal profession of Feb. 4 as John Marshall day was the location of the long lost portrait discovered. The discovery of the portrait Is rendered the more valuable because of tho fact that so few really authentic portraits of the great Jurist are extant. Then the picture shows the' chief Justice in a new light. The expression of the recognized portrait, engraved copies of which are to be found in nearly every law office throughout the country. Is absent. and instead It brings out the rugged strength of the features. Another difference is the. presence of his spectacles pushed high up on his forehead. The newly discovered picture Is done In oil by E. L. Hammond, one of the leading artists early in the century. It is partly a reproduction of a picture by Harding, for which Chief Justice Marshall sat in 1S2S, and it was finished Jn 1833. It was com pleted in Boston, where Hammond had his studio, and Is a finished production, tht canvas being 20x21 inches. In the upper left-hand corner of the canvas, beneath the varnish, is a card which reads: "Chief Justice John Marshall, U. S. Su premo Court. A copy from Harding in 1S33, by E. L. Hammond." PORTRAIT OF MARQUETTE. Old Picture That Is Unlike the Statae in the National Capitol. WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-A discovery has been made that will probably call forth discussion in regard to the Marquette statue presented to the Nation by the State of Wisconsin and now in Statuary Hall in the Capitol. This discovery is of an oil paint ing of great merit which was found recently stored away in the garret of a religious house in Montreal. On the back of the canvas Is the name "Pere Marquette," and those who have seen the work of art ex press themselves as satisfied that it is a genuine likeness of the great discoverer and missionary. It shows a face clean-shaven, full and round, with large, expressive eyes, the whole countenance beaming with intelligence and kindliness. The painting was so covered with the dust of centuries that no outline of It could be distinguished until put through the process of a careful cleaning. It has so forcibly impressed those who have seen it, not only as a great work of art, but as a genuine likeness of Marquette, that arrangements are now under way for the copyrighting of photographs of it both in this county and abroad, and until all such rights have been secured, it Is said, neither the painting nor photographs of It will bo exhibited. Both the picture itself and the back of the canvas have been photographed. The interesting feature of this pioture is said to be the fact that the face of Marauette preserved in oil is not the face of Marquette In the statue at the Capitol. It Is believed that the painting lately discovered is the only likeness of Marquette not purely ideal, or at least made from Indefinite descriptions of tho man that have been preserved in literature. The Marquette In marble at the Capitol shows a rather long, thin face, well covered with a beard. It is the face of an ascetic, while the face of the painting is essentially different. Old Plctnrc of Washington. LONDON, Dec. 29. There are few original pictures of General Washington in England, hence the discovery of another miniature Is interesting. It is by Sam Folwell, and is dated 1731. Another by the same artist is now in tho possession of the Historical Society of Philadelphia, dated 1796. The new find is supposed to be an excellent likeness. It represents Washington wearing a pigtail. ' STEUCK WITHOUT CAUSE. No Demands Made by Employes of a Tobacco Stemmery. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 29. The seventeen hundred employes of the Continental Tobacco Company, who struck yesterday, are still out, and there are no changes from the situation as It was yesterday. R. K. Smith, the Continental's general manager In Louisville, paid: "No demands or requests were made of us by our employes and I have not the slightest intimation why they struck. They simply walked out and there my knowledge of the matter ends. This morning several of our old employes called on me and asked If I would receive a committee from among them, and I replied that I would. There is no feeling between the company and its employes, as far as I "know, and there has been no disorder." The strikers, in mass meeting, to-day decided to hold a mass meetisg Monday night and draw up their demands, which will be presented to the company on Wednesday. Until that time they will disperse to their homes. Peaceful measures are recommended. An effort will be m&da to get other ctemmers to Jcln the strips.
