VIII Go Into the Courts.

The Board Of Public Works will finally
announce to-morrow morning what 1t will
do about the Virginia-avenueim Improvement.
1t has made MP its collective mind 20 go
ahead aid let the asphalt contract 20 the
Western Paving Company, but it will not
formally announce the fact until tOm0r-
row. when the contracts for Seventh street..
Delaware aud Massachusetts, avenue Will
also be let.
Representatives of both the asphalt and
anti-asphalt factions on Virginia avenue
were before the board at its session yester-
day morning. Messrs. Koehring, Moore.
Siehert and Smithers were there with the
petition urging the letting of the contract,
with twelve additional names TO il. making
forty-eight In all. all of which they
claimed were genuine. On the 9TH
or hand Dennis K. Golden and
others were there with a formal remon-
STRANGE with eighty-tbree names attached.
AS there are but 12l resident property own
ers on the avenue, there Is discrepancy OF
ten somewhere. These names were nearly
all in one handwriting but Mr.. Golden
said that j. q. Siersdorfer had driven over
the avenue the day before and taken down
the names with the consent of the people.
Mr. Conduit told them that this was of a
piece with the other documents that had
been presented by the "kickers" and "the
board was not to be bulldozed that way"
" was too late for the board to consider a
remembrance. The remonstrants will, as
soon rs the contract is let, carry the mat
ter into the courts with an injunction SUIT.

the bonds issued shall be in cash. and the
rest in bonds. This would make the total
reserve always fixed. though the proper
tioDs of cash and bonds would vary. This
suggestion the board adopted Yesterday
and sent the blank form to be put into type.
The amount retained per square yard will
probably be in the neigh borhood of 10
cents for asphalt and 20 cents for brick.

The Latest OIL Painting on Exhibition al

~
the California Wine House.
The Countess Falliere was considered to
be the loveliest woman of The reign of
Henry w. of France. She was so beauti-
full that noblemen came many miles to
have the privilege of seeing her pretty foot
when she came from ths baths at noon. 1t
is even said that duels were fought over
these same pretty feet. Artists raved over
her beauty and before she WAS 16 her pic
tnro had been painted twice in oil. Before
her death there were no less than thirty
portraits of her in existence. 1t was from
one of these that Palliere took his idea for
his painting The Countess ard Her Maid"
The painting was completed in 1871. With
tantalizing perversity the artist in it's exc
cution refused to reveal tho chief charms of
the countess, instead, placing her with her
back visible and giving her maid
is one Of a bathing room.
The countess has disrobed for her bath.
She is attended by her maid, a Bretagne
girl of rnre form and face. One wonders
ma hs studies the two forms il the countess
had been born the maid and the
maid the countess, whether or no
the charms of the former would have
outranked the servants. Palliere's evil
dent partiality TO the maid il evidence that
he considered her form the rarest type.
The painting il a gem in anatomical work.
1t is now two decades old and growing in
richneas OF color. Few there are who ever
800 it that will forget the matchless grace
of the face and eyes of the maid of tho
Countess Falliere.
