Mr. Friederuug was born in Con-
stance. In the Grand Duchy of Baden.
about fifty-fivexyeasr ago. lie began
his efforts to re—discover the antique
fresco process under the direction of
the famous Prof. Soils. “is art edu-
cation commenced in his early youth.
though his parents had him trained for
a musical career. , .1 .
Upon attaining his majority. he was
employed by the government to secure
data and then to manage a school of
nppilcd art. to be established at Batten.
in scouring this data he visited all of
the art centers of Europe. and traveled
through (lrccce, Egypt, and thc Holy
Laud. He had also been a pupil of
Professor Scftz, who had been attract-
cd to him by his soul in the study of
the antique fresco process. ‘
Finally the Vatican authorities nu-
nounccd to the art world that they pur-
posed having restored the frescoes of
Michael Angelo and Raphael. which
had bccn injurcd—‘—lt was thought at
the time lrreparably ruined—by the
explosion of some arlarchlstic bombs
during the disorder which followed the
withdrawal of the French troops from
the Eternal City In 1871. All of the
eminent artist of Europe, save Seltz.
declared that. because they did not
understand the antique fresco process.
they did not wish to attempt the com-
mission. He took Mr. Friedcrang with
him as his assistant and they had Just
finished laying out the work when Pr0~
fessor Soltz was stricken with Roman
fever and was obliged to leave Rome.
never to return to the work.
Mr. Friedernng was left to complete
the commission. and did so in four—
tccn months, and it was during that
he nindc. as he says, the discovery of
art secrets of the long dead Michael
Angelo, whose lndurcd painting ho was
then restoring.
As he tells it. he was searching
through the archives of the Vatican lib—
rary one day for some of Angela's car.
focus. in order to secure the original
outlines and tints of an injured detail.
when he picked up a bundle of dusty
manuscript. This, upon examination.
proved to be In Latin and italian and
be perceived that it related «to the an-
tique fresco; but not being an expert
linguist. he carried It to theological
student. and a friend ofPhla then in
Rome. and asked him to examine it.
Tire latter had not road long Mr.
lt‘rlcdorung says. when an expression of
wonder ovorsprcad his face. When
asked the reason, he told the finder of
the manuscript that he had stumbled
over the diary of Michael Angelo, and

random notes on the passing events of
his time. he had included therein the

process of the antique from paint-

sought for centuries.

friend made him an exact translation
in German of everything in the diary
that appartalned to painting. and this

the stress of ill fortune he may have
suffered, he has always managed to

Twenty-twirlirowaed and Fifty-
seven Rescued in Accident
with British Steamer Ancoiis
COPENHAGEN, June alt—A serious
disaster occurred last night near here
when the Danish cadet training
schooner Georg-Stags was rammed and
sank by the British steamer Aucona.
The Georg-Stage sank in one and one-
half minutes. Twenty-two cadets were
drowned and 67 rescued.
The boys were all in their bunks at
the time of the disaster. The night
was overcast, but it was not so dark
distance. .
The Ancona was considerably dain—
aged. along her water line. The port
authorities have placed an embargo on
the Ancona, which will remain here
until the inquiry into the collision is
completed.
Thus far only a single body has
been recovered by the divers who have
gone down to the wreck.
The Georg-Stage was a schooner of
206 tons' register and was 103 feet
long. Apparently she was a training
vossci for the mercantile marine. and
was owned by a prIVate firm of Co-
penhagen. '

Street, and Party of Friends
Surprised Sunday Morning
Yesterday was a day of parching
. thirst in South Norwalk. as the police
have commenced a most rigid enforce-
ment of the Sunday liquor laws. The
officers were morethan usually watch-
ful for violations of the law, and as a
result any speakeasy which had been
operating on the quiet closed its doors
and its patrons were turned away with
and and sorrowful looks in their eyes
and their tongues hanging out.
The situation is a rather peculiar
one for the authorities to deal with. as
at present there is no liquor prosecutor
in the town of Norwalk. By an act of
the legislature Judge E. M. Lockwood
has ceased to act in that capacity and
no successor has been appointed by the
county commissioners.
Yesterday the activity of the police
was rewarded by making one arrest.
Chief of Police Voliman was making
the rounds and when he struck Me-
chanic street he happened to ascertain
through some SherIOck Holmes deduc‘
lions that the beer was flowing in the
kitchen of Johon Balass. who resides
at l Mechanic street. Ho visited the
place and found bolus and three or
four other men engaged in slowing
away quantities of the amber, white-
capped fluid. Baiazs said that it was
purely a social occasion and that roam.
' bore of a committee of the Hungarian
society, which met yesterday after~
noon. had merely adjourned be his
kitchen to hold a meeting. and that no
liquor was being sold.
When the matter came up for trial
before the town court this morning,
their being no liquor prosecumr. the
officials were somewhat in a murmur
as to what they should do. The case
accordingly went over until tomorrow
morning. in all probability Prosecut-
ing Attorney William F. Tammany will
prosecute such cases until a successor
to Judge Lockwood is appointed,
There are two candidates in the field
for the. appointment and the influence
which has been brought to bear by
each has undoubtedly had something
to do with the delay on the part of
the commissioners in appointing a
prosecutor. One is Attorney William
0. Clark and the other Attorney Louis
S. Beers. Mr. Clark is said to have a
very strong personal support and At‘

Matron Boughton. of the county
home at Norwalk, and other ofilclals
are highly indignant at the story told
by a boy who gave his name as John
Scharfer and who Friday afternoon in-
formed the emergency hospital physi.
clans in Bridgeport that he had been
discharged from the home while in a
seriously ill-condition. because he had
reached the age omit years.
The boy's story is branded as entire-
ly false. ..hile he was undoubtedly
seriously sick when he arrived in
Bridgeport, what possessed him to say
he had been discharged in that condl-I
tion from the county home is not
known. He arrived at the railroad sta-
tion about 5 o'clock. and was too ill
to walk. He was taken to the emer-
gency hospital and Dr. Krausc diagnos-
ed his case as one of acute appendicitis.
for which he was operated upon at the
Bridgepdrt hospital Saturday morning.
Children over the age of 16 years are
not allowed in the county home and
this boy made a statement to the doc-
tor that having _reached this age he
was discharged. from the place. alo
though he was very ill. To state that
the county home turned a sick buy out
into the streets with nowhere to go.
is certainly a very serious charge to
bring. yet it was implicitly believed by
the emergency doctor. whose indigna-
tion was publicly expressed.
County Commissioner Simeon Peace
when he heard of the Telegram story
telephoned at once to Miss Boughton.
matron of the. home. She at once
branded the boy's fate as a pure and
simple fabrication.
She said a search of the records
disclosed no such name as John
Scharfer as ever having been an in-
mate of the home. That no boy of
to years or a other. age has left the
borne in s w ' or more. That-no boy
whether an inmate of the home or
not hus'applied for any assistance for
illness or anything of that kind for
two months,
it was stated that the boy might
possibly have been an inmate of the
home some time ago and that he might
have been placed out with a family to
live and have left. when his time was
up. if such were the case the county
home has had no information of it.
Commissioner Pause stated that if
any boy was ever taken seriously sick
at the county home whether he was
about to leave the place or not, he
would be at once removed to the Nor-
walk Hospital for trrmtment. and that
he would be discharged while sick was
absolutely ridiculous. He stated that
Dr. J. G. Gregory. thc county home
physician. had remarked to him a few
days ago that. he had not been called
upon to attend but one case at the
home for two months the health there
was so good, and that case was one of
a fractured arm.
At the present time there are about
too little children at the home. boys
and girls, ranging in age from four to

Scharfer was sent to Bridgeport by
James A. Brown. one of the selectmen
of Norwalk. The boy had a letter to
Superintendent Brennan, of the char—
ities department of Bridgeport.
From the tone of the. letter it was
gathered that the boy had been dis-
charged from the county home some
time ago. and has probably been work—
ing around the town of Norwalk until
he was taken ill. Some years ago
his father. .lohn Scharfer. was employ-
ed in Bridgeport as a teamsior. - He
met with an accident and was assisted
until his death by the city. There
were four children. Joseph was sent
to the county home and two others
died. The mother disappeared and
has not been board from.
An Joseph was being taken to the
hospital he was asked where his moth-
er was. .
The boy's eyes filled with tears as
he replied:
"i don't know where she is. she went
,away and left me."

—Both Japan and Russia are now iiI‘

when their plenipo thrice shat meet
at Washington. it w ll be during the
first ten days of August. but the‘esact‘
date probably will be announced by
President Roosevelt. The question of
precedence evidently is the main
stumbling block to a prompt settlement
of the number of personal negotiators.
Both sides seem desirous to mate‘tho
