The Hanging Committee of the Academy Of
Design, made up of three very capable painters,
appears not to have succeeded In giving entire
satisfaction this year. A good many works
that stand in the relation of cat and dog to each
other seem to hang side by side, each to the
others hurt. 1t is not a restful show In that re-
spect.
But there are q few frst-rate paintings, and .
good many interesting canvasee. together with
some eccentricities, and a few actual abomina-
tions. This. however. may be said nearly al
ways of picture exhibitions, and 1t is satisfactory
to be able to say that the general average Of
this seventy-frst exhibition is not bad.
1t is not possible from a casual vanishing
day" view to go Into particulars further than to
record the fact that the place of honor Is held
by q large unfinished work by the late Thomas
Hovenden. whose death. last year, in saving .
child from a railway train, marked him for all
time as a hero. 1t is n large canvas and shows

BOTH WANT
The MiiIers Cannot Agree, Although Mar
rIed Twenty-rOur Years.

The troubles of Ella +. Miller and Capt. Joseph
Miller. long the master OF the three-maSted
trading schooner Mary II. Brockway. were
aired yesterday before Justice Clement in the
Supreme Court In Brooklyn. Mrs. Miller asks
for a separation on the ground OF cruelty, and
Can't. Miller accuses his wife OF infdelity and
wants an absolute decree. The couple have been
married twenty-four years and have three sons,
who are apprentices on pilot boats In this har-
Dor. Mrs. Miller says that her husband neglect
ed her and made such scanty provision for her
ing. He also had frequently abandoned her and
once beat her so severely that she had to go tn
the police station for protection. Capt. Mil
Ter accuses his wife OF utter indifference to his
interests and OF improper conduct with Stephen
j. White and Charles Forest. The hearing was
not concluded.

was married to his latest conquest on wednes
day afternoon. and n wedding party was ar-
ranged to take place that evening ut the home
Of the bride, at us East Twelfth street.
In the midst Of the celebration two police
men appeared with n warrant for Fischer's AZ
rest, and he spent the first night OF his honey.
moon In the Union Market station prison.
Fischer was accompanied To the station by his
bride, who was still attired In her weddina
gown, and by the other members Of the wed-
ding party, all protesting loudly against
Fischer's arrest as an outrage. When Fisch-
er's friends found that he must spend the night
in the station house. they returned to the we'd
ding feast, but Mrs. Fischer made several trips
to the Prison during the night to visit her hus-
band and cheer him UP.
IN Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday
morning Fischer said that his arrest was due
to the Jealousy OF the woman with whom he
had been living at O1 Vandam street before hts
marriage. This woman is known as Heilis
Fischer. She had lived with Fischer. IL 10

Mrs. Fischer was in court with her husband
yesterday morning. She and Miss Fischer
glared ut each other when they came before
Magistrate Crane. Miss Fischer found that
she would have difficulty in establishing .
charge of felonious assault, and decided not to
press the complaint.

100000 FOR NEW ASPHALT WAYS
Streets that Are to Get the Beneat of this
First Amount.

EtFSt AtHouhN
The Board of Estimate and Apportionment
appropriated $500, 900 yesterday for asphalt
paving. This provides for the paving OF First
avenue, from Twentieth street TO Tooth street;
Madison avenue, from l25th street TO the Har-
lem River; the east side of the Boulevard, from
Ninety-second street to Tooth street; l20th
street, from Seventh avenue to Eighth; Forty
ninth street, from Madison avenue TO Fourth:
Fifteenth street, from Union square to Irving
place, and parts OF Clinton place and Macdou-
gal street,
Commissioner Coils proposes also to repair
Eighth avenue. from Thirteenth street to Hud-
son street, and Hudson street, from Eighth ave-
nue. Ia Chambers street, thus completing an all
asphalt route down the west side. The Board,
however. laid this over. as the present pave
m"nt Is In good condition, and, moreover. the
Metropolitan Traction Company expects TO
construct an underground trolley within the
next two years on those streets. which would
necessitate the tearing up of the pavement.
The Board appropriated 1900 for the COM
pletiOn ~ COrlears Hook Park. IL referred to
the Comptroller applications for 10000 600 to
improve Riverside Park and 100000 for walks
ana drives about the Botanical Garden in Bronx
Park.

The fault Of their work lay in q certain crudlty
Of language. which arose maybe from the fact
that the characters were supposed 10 live and
speak In the time of the second Charles. Its
particular merit lay in an Ingenious story told
In the way that made IL effective on the stage.
The wife Of q painter was In love with another
man who, 10 preserve her honor and his own
wns about 10 leave London. The woman had
%repulsed another suitor, nm enemy pf her
on both of them. His opportunity came when
the. husband showed him n picture Of Othsllo
and Desdemona that he was painting. The
artist had despaired Of reproducing the Ike.
ness OF. an innocent women accused Of n guilty
love. His, efforts TO deuict It had failed, and
thus he felt that the picture would never bring
him the fame for Which he was ambitious.
Then the false friend suggested that II he ac-

the programme was a comic episode which
humor lay in the application to affairs Of the

young writers appear to be so fond, was not
neglected at the matinee yesterday. 1t rare

The third and last OF the series of szumowska-
Adamowski~r ecitals. which took place yesterday
afternoon, proved decidedly the most interesting
in respect of the concerted music played. which
consisted of two trios, the Schumann in D
minor and the Rubinstein in b fiat major,
both highly attractive compositions, striking
a happy medium between the stern clas-
slcism of old things and the vague and
arid wanderinas of some of the ultra-new ones.
Both trios were played by Miss Szumowska and
the brothers Adamowski with exceptional
correctness and spirit-indeed, with almost
too much of the latter sometimes, for one or
two Of the movements were taken SO fast as to
preclude careful phrasing. The Rubinstein
trio is particularly brilliant in character and
offers excellent opportunities for a pianist to dis
play facility and dash. opportunities of which the
young Polish artist awaited himself 20 the full.
The solo work was allotted on this occasion
to Mr.. J. Adamowski, who acquitted himself OF
his task in u manner fitting his reputation as a
refined and sincere artist. His selections were
an "AdagiO" by Tartini. and a daintily
melodic "Tarantelle" by Cossmann. which
pleased the audience so much that
Il insisted on a supplementary piece. which the
player rendered with equal success. The audi
ence was not large In proportion to the value OF
the entertainment, but II was intelligently APP
preciative. a quality which counts for much In
the eyes of true artists.

Boston SYMPHONY Orchestra Concert.

Full almost to the point Of surfeit as has been
the present musical season in New York, it was
yet with feelings OF genuine regret that all true
lovers Of orchestral music last night babe fare
we'll for q season to tho Boston SYM
phony Orchestra. This splendid organization
fails to find In our city q support that 10
In any way commensurate with its manifest
and unrivalled merit. Opinions may differ as
TO the relative merits of Mr.. Gericke, Mr..
Nikisch. or Mr.. Paur, but the Boston orchestra
10 ever the same. from conductor unto
conductor. and under whatever conditions OF
leadership still remains the standard by which
all other like musical bodies must be
measured in this country. BY years
Of association these Boston men have at
tanned not only a precision and una
nimity of purpose not surpassed in the world
perhaps, but there shines through all this work
the light of individual enthusiasm and pure de-
votion to high ideals. SO that they compel in
variably admiration and respect.
For the last concert OF the present season Mr..
Paur chose to present q programme con-
sisting entirely of excerpts from the works
of Wagner. aud that the choice was
wise was attested by the size of the
audience, which was very large. The
opening selection was the overture to " Rienzi,"
which, heard beside the later works of the COM
followed the preludes to the first and third acts
of "Lohengrin." familiar in our ears as household
words, and in the former of which to q man
closing his eyes the music of the strings
seemed to float on air. so delicate tho
touch OF the bows and SO free the tone
from the %fnintest suspicion Of a scrape.
Next the "Siegfried Idyll" took us deep
into the forest and in the "Waldweben"
we heard the. manifold voices OF the
woods, the birds, the brooks, the rustling
leaves, and all the sweet sounds that
nature loves and which Wagner has
painted in music so true that It seems
nature herself who speaks to us. All this
beauty. was illustrated. by the orchestra with
marvellous technical skill and poetic feeling.
The two Siegfried bits were separated by tho
Faust " overture, that vivid piece of dramatic
writing. and then came Mr.. Ben Davies, the
soloist of the evening. who sang Walther's
quality Of voice and a fine simplicity Of style
rendered in a truly noble manner. with dignity.
Succeeding to this MI: psyiss gave the
Prize Song. His pure tenor voice and
sound manly method gave the liveliest
pleasure TO the audience, who recalled him
again and again. So truly admirable a voice
and method as Mr.. Davies possesses are %rarlties,
and are by the same token so much the more
ENJOYABLE.
The concert was brought to a brilliant termi-
nation by the " Ride OF the Valkyries." In this.
as in all that the Boston Orchestra undertakes.
its virtues stand out in high relief. overshadow-
ing any minor defects almost to the point of
complete elaboration.
