A FAMOUS PAINTING.
"Nana" Is Now on
Exhibition in This City.

There is on exhibition at the Mcars
building, 14S Washington avenue, one
of the worlds most famous works of
art, a painting by Suchorowsky, en-
titled Mana" which is valued at SS5,
600, and took three years to paint. 1t
represents i'm lifC-siZc, a beautiful
maiden reclining upon a couch and con-
templeting with startled admiration
the reflection of her own loveliness in
a large mirror.
The painters conception Is that of a
maiden, who, having fallen into a
dOzc on her couch, clothed only in the
wrap in which she has returned from
her bath, awakens to find that the
wrap has fallen from her body and her
exquisite charms are fully re-
fiCCtcd in the mirror, whence
her gaze is directed at the
rcOpening Of her eyes. rhe sudden in
spration of joy and surprise at the dis
Covery of her own beauty is reflected
in the expression of the eyes. In put
ting this light into the eyes the painter
has produced a marvellous effect, fill
ing the whole picture. the female face
and form and the whole surroundings
with a glamor of reality which the on
locker has difficulty in removing. The
artist, M6rCellde SuChorowsky. is Il
Russian. The picture Of Mana" won
for him universal lenOwn and gained
him admission to the st. Petersburg
academy.

NORTH END PAVEMENT.
Appeals from Assessments Will Again
BE Heard by city Engineer.

Owing to a misunderstanding OF the
provisions of the North End paving
ordinance, City Engineer Phillips re-
Gently issued notices and heard the
assessment of appeals of property own
ers. The ordinance provides, however,
that appeals shall not be heard until
after the specifications have been COM
pleted and filed with the city clerk.
Work on the specifications has been
rushed and they will be filed Thursday
morning. Notices that appeals would
be heard on that day have recently
been issued to all owners of abutting
property in order to formally comply
with the ordinance, although the APP
peals have once been heard.
1t is probable that the city clerk will
advertise, beginning Friday or Satur-
day, for proposals to do the work.
Many bids and, i'm a comparative sense,
low bids, on account Of the great oX-
tent of the work, are anticipated. The
pavement will he the longest, with one
exception, yet laid in the city on one
contract. The cost, however, will be
less in fact and less in proportion, the
latter because of the material, brick,
and because of the reduced cost in
paving methods in recent years.

Held Last Evening In the Penn Ave-
nue. Haptist Church.

The senior pupils Of Prof Haydn
Evans, assisted by Messrs Thomas
Beynon and Richard Thomas, gave
brilliant piano recital last evening at
Penn Avenue Baptist church. The pro-
gramme was a long one, but one of
uniform excellence. The piano num-
bcrs were given with a spirit and in

professionals of many pretensons.
Miss Annabel Taylor played Mozarts 3
Sonata in u (No. y and Misses Larissa
Place, Myrtis Peck and Allie Price
gave selections by famous composers.
Miss Mary Cavanaugh rendered with
great brillianCe a Bach impromptu and
fugue and the Schubert Impromptu in
a nat. Misses Rosa Conway, Ella
Ketcham, Edith Swingle and Grace
Calender played with much taste sew
eral numbers. Miss Anna Durkin rem
dered two Schumann compositions most
creditably. Alfred Kuschwa and Will
liam A. Roberts also played with much
finish and taste.
The vocal part of the programme
was greatly enjoyed. Mr.. Beynon and
Mr.. Thomas sang both solos and duets
with the usual satisfactory effect at
tanned by these popular singers. The
last recital at the church this season
will be given Thursday evening by
Mrs. GeneVieve Baker.

NO MORE KICKING.
Apparatus of Phoenix Chemical Com
pany in shape tor Service--C Colum-
bias Engine Returned.

The steady protest from the West
Side against an alleged lack of fire
protection was silenced yesterday by
the return of the Phoenix company's
chemical apparatus to service.
Following the disastrousvcollision Of
several weeks ago and in which the
Phoenix apparatus was badly crippled,
protection was afforded the central city
business district by transferring from
Columbia company on the West side it's
chemical wagon to Nay Aug company.
This action though imperative and
made with the view of best serving the
interests Of the city at large caused a
howl from the West Side which has
continued up to the present time to
Clamor for the return of it's chemical
machine.
The protest assumed such proper
tions, due to the proximity Of July
4, that a petition of several hundred
persons was prepared and was to have
been presented to the proper city Off
CalS this week.
Yesterday the repairs to the Phoenix
apparatus were completed at Gould's
carriage works and the company de-
Cared again i'm service; the Columbia
chemical wagon was sent from Nay
Aug company to its original owners
ana the Nay Aug hose wagon was
brought back from the West Side.

Though many have viewed them. the
remains of the man found on West

are unidentified. 1t is hoped that some
one will yet recognize them. The re-
mains are still lying at Prices under

1t was thought at one time that the
unknown was identified. The descrip-

he. The person figured on was at

A man who has been doubtfully iden-
tilted as Neil O'Donncll, a miner. Of
Depot street, Providence, was run over
and instantly killed about midnight
last night on Capouse avenue, north
of Marion street, by a Green Ridge
Peoples line car. The body was fright
fully mutilated and Identification was
made more difficult by the mud and
water into which the remains were
crushed
The car was outward bound. 1t left
the dispatcher's office at 11.35 o'clock
in charge of Motorman A. Gelb and
Conductor Arthur Williams. At Mar
ion street a stop was made and a lady
passenger alighted. The rain was COM
ing down in torrents when the car was
started. MotOrman Gelb related the
particulars of the fatality as follows
to a Tribune reporter:
MOTORMAN'S STORY.
81 had got the car under full head
way when | noticed a figure lying
across the track about two or three
car lengths ahead. The body lay face
downward across the west rail. 1t lay
in the shadows thrown by some big
trees. | might have seen it sooner but
for the rain which was pouring down
in sheets. | set the brakes and the car
struck the man and Travelled maybe a
length before we stopped"
The car was derailed by the body,
which lay under the rear platform and
was pinioned to the ground when the
car stopped. The accident happened at
11.50 o'clock. w. j. Davis and G. S.
Jacobs, of Green Ridge, were the only
passengers. A casual examination by
passengers and crew showed that the
man was dead.
a telephone message for the wreck
car was sent and notice was tele-
phoned to Coroner Longstrects office.
The Lackawanna hospital ambulance
and DR.. Newbury, of that institution,
responded to a call telephoned from
the despatcher's Office
Only a few moments were required
for the wreCkinE crew to lift the car
with jack-screws and remove the
body. PatrOlman Saltry and James
Rowley, of Wyoming avenue. near
New York street, doubtfully identified
the remains as those of Neil O'Donnell.
The two wheels had passed over the
shoulder. The skull was broken and
the scalp badly cut.
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT.
Those early at the scene Of the ac-
cident accepted the theory that the
man had stumbled and fallen in a
stupor across the rail. This view was
borne out by the odOr of liquor and
the fact that a. +. O'Malley, of 1910
washington avenue, saw a man stag
gerlng northward along the roadway
about ten minutes before the car came.
Coroner Longstreet had not been To-
Gated at l.1j o'clock when the car
was placed on the rails and the body
was, by direction of the police, carried
onto the platform of the wreck car and
taken to Raub's undertaking rooms.
ODonnell was married and has sew
eral children.

This problem has been a favorite
one with Nikola Tesla. He, as a rule.
prefers not to talk of his work. but
when he speaks he usually startles the
world with some new promise or real
ity. He is looked upon as a seer and
necromancer, having uncanny famil-
iarity with the secrets of nature. and
the world has come to regard him as
the herald of new era in the hand
ling Of inanimate forces.
Some time ago Tesla threw down the
gauntlet to the skill of a mechanical
engineer, saying, in effect:

in this enterprise whenever you will,

would be necessary to reach in order
to obtain air of a rarity best adapted
