''THE sEIeE OF FORT HENRY"

Mr.. McKown offered the following:
WHEREAS, The resolution adopted by
Council on the 10th day April, purchasing
from Mr.. j. A. Faris, his picture, ''The
Seige of Fort Henry" did not name the
appropriation from which said picture
should be paid for; therefore,
Resolred, Thst the City Clerk be, and is
hereby authorized and instructed to draw
his order on the Receiver for $500, payable
ont of the contingent fund upon the order
of the Chairman of the Committee on Real
Estate.
This motion excited some remark, and it
would have occasioned n good deal more,
had not Mr.. Miller sprang to his feet as
soon as the reading Of the paper was con-
eluded, with motion to table. This was
not dtbatable, bat Mr.. Caldwell was allow
ed to make an explanation of the fscts and
the law. After reciting the facts, Mr..
Caldwell said the action of Council at the
last meeting constituted q contract be-
tween the city and Mr.. Faris, and
the latter could enforce his claim by
q suit at law. A vote was then taken, and
upon division the motion of Mr. Miller was
lost ayes 8, noes 10.
Mr.. Allison then took the floor, and said
he had some doubts about the legal aspects
of the case, but he bad none about the i'm
propriety of the purchase. He thought it
would be good thing to reconsider the
vote by which the purchase of the picture
was ordered.
Mr.. Craft made the somewhat startling
abatement that the Committee on Real
Estate had never ordered the purchase OF
the picture. There had been no session OF
the committee upon the night named in
the paper stoned by the chairman of that
committee
The roll was then called upon the reso-
luton by Mr.. MeKown, and il was lost,
ayes 8, noes Is, as follows: Ayes-Messrs.
Caldwell. Gundlipg, HartoDg, Healy,
Jones, Marsh. Maxwell, Mitchell, Nc.
Kown-9. Noes-Messrs Allison, Bre-
mer, Davis, Ebelipg, Garvin, Kettler.
Kraft, Miller, Pracht. Prsger, Warner,
Young and Mr.. President-13.
Later Mr.. Garvin moved to reconsider
the resolution. He said he had made
further enquiry upon the subject, and had
learned that the frame had been purchased
and was at the 6epot, and would be put
on the picture tomorrow. This valuable
frame had been purchased upon the
strength of the action OF Council, and there
was no doubt but that Mr.. Faris would
promptly bring suit. The result would
be that the city would not only have to
pay the original $500, but the heavy costs
Of the suit besides.
Then Mr.. Allison took the floor. He
did not approve the original resolution,
even when viewed in thu light shed upon
il by Mr.. Garvin. He thought the best
way 10 do would be for the city to REIN.
burse Mr.. Faris for his expenditure on nc
count of the frame, and let the picture re-
main in Mr.. Faris' possession.
This eminently sensible view OF The mat
ter evidently went with the members,
but all the same the resolution
to reconsider was lost by the extremely
close call of one vote, as follows: Ayes
Messrs. Caldwell, Garvin, Gundling, HN-
tong, Healy, Jones, Kettler, Marsh, MAY

Mr. O. O. Rogers Tells Some Facts Concern
ing Them.
Mr.. @. o. Roger, of the Minnie Palmer
Company, who is at the Mcclure House,
talked entertainly yesterday to party Of
friends of his star and her recent successes.
"Miss Palmer" said he, "has regular
craze for diamonds. II is true that the
generality of theatrical people have. but
with her it is different. She does not
keep them for show or work
them as an advertisement, as so
many stars of another class do. She
likes to own the stones and to wear them,
and so she carries collection which is al
most unriyaled in the country around
with her, though they are very inconven-
lent to tske care of on the road. and We
have to have detective always employed
to look after them, and iD some cities Keep
two employed. If she merely wanted the
gems for the display and the advertise
ment, she could easily have them duplica-
ted in paste 80 that nobody would know
the difference, but she prefers 10 keep the
real Jewels by her in spite of the inConven-
fence. She can't wear them oil in one
play--wby, bless you, she could scarcely
carry all of them-but where she can ap-
propriately don them in piece, she wears
on the stage what good taste allows.
"You Americans, continued Mr.. Rog-
ers, can form no idea of the furore Miss
Palmer created abroad. When the people

burgh, for instance, the people turned out

honor to the Queen. The boys used to riseup
in the British towns everywhere and swing
their hats and shout Bravo for several
minutes The Americans are not nearly

least not in theatrical matters, as the
Europeans.

she will wear here new dress which she
