TAVERNIER'S PICTURES.

Artists and authors who have been
specially gifted, are chiefly remem-
bered and known by their works
and especially Is this the case after
the artist or author has passed away
to the other shore. The late Jules
Tavernier proved himself to be one
of those gifted artists whose special
ties must remain lasting monuments
to the artistic gifts which he IN
doubtedly had for transferring vivid
scenes to canvas, and rendering them
charming to the eye and truthful in
every detail. The awe-inspiring and
wild scenes of the world were his
favorite subjects, and this desire for
the romantic and picturesque
brought him to the Hawaiian Isl
ands where he delighted to view and
sketch the ever changing volcanic
scenery of Hawaii. His pictures of
the volcano of Kilauea are the best
ever painted of those glowing scenes,
and these paintings are now increas-
ing very rapidly in value since the
artistic hand of Jules Tavernier
ceased to move. A picture by this
artist entitled waiting for Montez-
uma,7 was lately purchased for
$1,000 by Irving & Scott of the
Union Iron Works, San Francisco,
and it has been considered as 1av-
ernier's masterpiece; but Jules him
self thought that another painting,
the last he ever did and which he
finished shortly before his death, ex-
celled all his former efforts. This
celebrated painting is entitled
" Sunset in Wyoming" and a
finer scene of Indian wild-life
on the plains. can hardly be

MIR. Mahoney's Report on the Records
OF the Various Officials.

According to instructions from the board
of county commissioners, County Attorney
Mahoney submitted u lengthy report to the
board at yesterday afternoons meeting in
regard to quarterly reports of county officials.
The attorney stated that all officers of the
county had made reports for the quarter end
ing April l, 1889, except the sheriff. All the
reports, in the opinion of the county's legal
adviser, were in accordance with law except
that of the county clerk and the register Of
deeds. In these reports, while the amounts
received for fees were regularly set down and
daily accounted for, they had simply been
charged to the number of instruments and
names of the parties payiug them omitted
from the records. The county attorney says
this had been the custom of the officials in
keeping the records as far back as he went.
He had a consultation with both the county
clerk and the register of deeds, and both as
sured him that IN the future the records
would be kept so as to show by whom fees
were paid, and that they would comply with
the statutory provisions in making out their
reports. The Jail records had been examined
and found correct.
Relative to the resolution of Mr.. Anderson
in regard to charging 81 for filing certain in
struments, and giving the county credit for
25 cents thereof, the attorney said he had
been unable TO find any cause upon which TO
base an action, either criminal or CIVIL The
report of the clerk showed on the dates men
toned in the finance committees report that
tue CleTlCul WOTh peTlOTuleu lOr OuJSlue par
ties was paid for by the clerk. Affidavits by
MIR. Roche and Miss Moran, who did the
work. accompanied the communication. They
were ordered filed, as was also the opinion.
S. j. Pope g. Co. presented q bill, accompa.
MED by the third estimate IN the plumbing
contract for the county hospital, asking for
$3,570.O3. II was approved.
Sheriff Coburn submitted bill for 81 ,79475
for fees during the February term of court.
1t was referred. Several small bills were
allowed
The county attorney made propositions for
settlement of the question as TO the lots on
which the present DOOR house is located,
which were purchased by Judge Hascall.
The first proposition provides for the county
executing deed for the premises to him ac-
cording to the contract of the sale OF the
property, reservng the right to remove the
buildings from the lots at any time before
specified day. The second provides for the
county securing time sufficient to remove the
buildings. and the third is for the county
leasing the buildings of Hascail, but names
no figures as rental. The propositions were
referred to the finance committee.
Clerk w Webb was instructed to notify the
workmcL on the new county hospital to stop
work until the changes ordered are ap-
proved.

The iourneymen plumbers walkout dur
ing the past week has affected, to some ex-
tent, every building trades union IN the city.
The walkout is 'iuer TO the declaration made
by the master plumbers, at meeting held
Saturday night, ahat they would order
lockout the following Wednesday. The
journeymen did not wait for this, but
walked out , Of their own accord,
Monday morning. without parley. In
three shops only have they renamed at
work. These are Strang & Clark's, w. H.
Spelman's and Welshan & BcEwan's. The
men are still out and there is nothing to indl-
cate speedy adjustment OF the differences
between masters and journeymen. The
whole trouble arose from tine refusal of the
Masters association to recognize the union.
The principal fight has been made
upon the Hussey Il Day company,
under contract TO do the plumbing in the
new BEE building. This firm has been un-
able TO secure journeymen since the walk
out, hut instead secured the services Of i've
or six members of the masters association
and persuaded them TO don overails and go
TO soldering. This precipitated more trouble.
The 1ourneymen declared that unless these
men, ''scabs'' as they called them, were sent
OF the work they would induce all the paint
ers, carpenters, tile layers, and in fact all
the workmen on the building, to leave 1t.
The plasterers were induced to lay down
their trowels aud quit early In the week.

Duncan and the Plumbers.
The iourneymen plumbers are after the
scalp of Plumbing Inspector Duncan, and in
tend to leave no stone unturned to secure his
removal from office. They claim that Dun
can has done everything he can to bring
about their defeat in the struggle between
them and the master plumbers, and that he
has used his official position to accomplish
this end. They assert that his recent bill
ligerent attitude toward w. II. Spelman is
due alone to the fact that Spelman has been
with them and refused to stand by the mas
ters' association in its intention to order a
lockout, and that in passing his opinion upon
work done by "scabs'' he has made such
opinion favorable in order to injure them.
And so tho iourneymen plumbers union
desires the official decapitation OF MIR. Dun
can.
The matter was laid before the central
labor reaniS anon halt At ast meeting mShas by held
committee from the plumbers union,
and AZ a result a committee was appointed
to take such action as it shall deem neces-
sary to accomplish the desired end. Reso-
lutions were adopted addressed to the
charges against Duncan, and asking that he
pc removed from office and more suitable
man appointed. These resolutions will be
laid before the mayor on Monday, with the
request that he present them TO the council
at the meeting to he held tuesday night.
Duncan says he Is perfectly neutral as far
as the two organizations are concerned, but
after further conversation, acknowledged
that his sympathies really leaned
towards tho masters association, as he had
once been a master plumber himself.
In the matter OF the men from other unions
