TILDEN'S BOUNTY.

New York City will Get Two Millions
of 1t.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Were il not that pre-.
vious to the decree of the court in the Til-
den will case one of the heirs had agreed to
compromise with the trustees Of the Tilden
trust. the city would lose entirely the bene-
fits which the statesman philanthropist dee
sired should accrue to it from his estate.
Az it ia, however, the sum of $2,O0O.000 II
assured for carrying out MIR. Tilden's
wishes. Notwithstanding the adverse de-
cree of the court of appeals, except for the
contest the city would have received
for the purpose specified at least
$4,000, 900. The fact that at least $2,0OO,O0O
will be available for founding the free city
library ia a surprise to all except the parties
to the compromise. No hint had been
given out. and it was not even known TO
the contesting heirs. This amount will
come from the shares in the residuary es-
tate that would have gone to Mrs. Laura Is.
Hazard, OF this CITY. Mrs. Hazard was the
daughter of Mrs. Mary Is. Pelton, sister Of
Gov. Tilden. She would have been entitled
to one-hRlf of tho estnts in litigation, but
she was not one Of the contesting heirs,
though the decision revoking the Tllden
trust clause would Of course have bsnetltod
her. BY agreement with the executors or
the will, however, two-thirds Of her share
is to 90 to the library fan without regard
to the outcome of the litigation.

Very Black.
The day after the fire in the Bailey block
passers-by who looked at the damage
wrought in Pope g. O'Connor's store shook
their heads and exclaimed, "a complete
wreck" In this case appearances were
somewhat deceitful. The greater part Of
the stock was ruined and the store had to
be entirely renovated, but some of the
goods, while discolored, were not actually
injured. The store has been decorated ana
painted, new fixtures put in, and now it is
the handsomest establishment of the kind
in the northwest. Large quantities of new
md fresh drugs and patent medicines have
been received and the house is better
equipped than ever to answer calls IN its
prescription and patent medicine depart
monts. Orders have been given for a large
shipment of fancy goods. such as are kept
in the best drug stores, and these are now
arriving. But there are still on hand a lot
of fancy goods, discolored nv the smoke,
but not otherwise injured, which are being
sold dirt cheap. For personal use they
answer every requirement.. and at the prices
asked are the biggest kind Of bargains.
These goods comprise handsome toilet sets,
combs, brushes, perfumes, and a dozen
other articles, ornamental and at the same
time useful. If in need of anything in this
line, the easiest way to mako a dollar IL to
buy of Pope Il O'Connor.

A Painting ON u Familiar Subject ut the
California Wine House.
Mr.. August Fack. proprietor of the Cali
fornia Wine house, has on exhibition q fine
new painting by Robert Swain, of this city.
It is the picture Of O two prospectors pam
ming for gold, and the artist has made the
scene true to life by selecting a romantic
spot in Orc FiAo gulch and having living
figures pose for him. On n gentle slope be-
low the rugged mountain the two prospec-
tors have made their camp. Saddles and
blankets nre thrown oarelessly on tho
grounds, and in the distance the horses
have been picketed and allowed to feed on
the rich bunch grass that covers the foot
hills. An old. gray bearded prospector is
squntted on tho bank of tho little stream
which flows in the foreground. His pan 10
washed out near to the point whore his ex-
pectations are to be- gratiiied or his hopes
dashed to earth. To his right, bending over
with his eyeA fixed on the pan, IL another
man, not 40 old, but whose bronzsd and
bearded face bears evidence OF long
exposure to, the weather. Even his
~fnvorite pipe Is forgotten for the time and
lays between the fingers of the hand that
rests upon the anxious Watchers knee. On

on which ia the meal that is awaiting the
result of the banning process. The faces
of the projectors are a study in themselves.
There is depicted expectation, uncertainty
and hope of a rich strike. The picture in
its entirety is one that reflects great cfedis
on the artist. The most carping critid
would do we'll to find the slightest flaw in
the work. The size Of the canvas, sixty
Eve inches wide and eighty-fve inches
deep. has given the artist ample oppor-
tunity to work in all the details Of the
scene and the surroundings. Yhe picture
now hangs in tho California wine house
between those of ''The Temptation" and

about because they had nothing to do and
were SO idle that it made them childish.

did not suspect for a moment that she was
picturesque. She did not know nat pic

had called her q pretty girl years ago be-
fore she had married Cola and had had
children and worked SO hard. Then she
had been plump and had had laughing
white teeth and bright eyes, and there had
been red on her brown cheeks and a curl
in her thick hair. But she now considered
herself nm old woman, though she was
not one as the forestieri counted years.

which were SO narrow as to be mere pas
