White FAW y.

Mr.. r. s. Church's picture of the
White Fawn is in possession Of Mr.. l..
Prang.
The increasing number Of art students
throughout the country has created a.
great demand for studies Of various
kinds,a marked preference being shown
for those by modern painters. For floral
subjects French artists are still unrival-
led, and studies by Victor Dagnon and
Nine. Flory are admirably adapted for
more advanced students. Both these
artists are now preparing subjects for
publication by Prang.
The change that has come over pub
lie taste is very noticeable in the popu-
lar designs for congratulation cards.
Those OF foreign subjects and treatment
meet with comparatively little recogni.
tion from the general public, while
American subjects treated by American
artists command increased popularity.
There is no doubt that genre school
of art will develop here as a direct re-
suit of the interest taken by the people
In the actual everyday scenes OF life.
The growth of a genre school has inva-
riably accompanied the art develop
ment of nations.

toGeorge West, the contractor, ran away
from a point in the western part

all his would be reecuers and was only
brought to stand still by colliding
with carriage at Front and French
streets, injuring the latter vehicle con-
siderably. The runaway horse and wa.
gon were not injured.

A Little Girl's scheme.

The following comes from WASH
ington, ID. c.: Hattie Smell is a 13-year-
old girl living in st. louisville, N. Y.
The Episcopal Society was attempting
to raise money to build new church,
and Hattie took great interest in the
project. She conceived the plan Of OBJ
tanning aid from the statesmen at
Washington, and she wrote letters to
nearly everybody whose name appears
in the Congressional Directory, asking
each to contribute few bricks.
Her plan was 30 novel and her letters
were written in such childish ingeni-
ousness that the responses were large.
Among the contributors were President
Arthur, ALI the members of the Cabinet,
General Sheridan, Vice President Ed
munds, Speaker Carlisle, many of the
Senators and a large number OF Con.
gressmen. Now she proposes to sell
the autographs which accompanied
the contributions, and will be able
thereby to more than duplicate the sum
she received.

Resnoving the Ashes.

The proposals. for removing the ashes
from the four districts of this city were
opened in the City Council last evening,
aud show wed that Samuel Crothers offers
to collect the ashes and rubbish in the

Martin Keogh wants q, ,297 to do the

and Thomas j. Bowen, for the First and
Second at 81, 400. Francis Ginglebach
offered to remove them In the Third and
Fourth Districts for $4,000.
These figures are interesting in COM
parison with those Of other years, when
the city was not as large AZ it now Is,
and there was consequently consider
able less work in filling the contract.
In 1882, the following proposals were
received, each contractor except Mr..

From these figures 1t seems that tn
