MIR. Fox's PARIS PICTURE.
Portrait of n Young Lady on Exhibit
ton at the TeIfair Academy.

Portrait of Young Lady on Exhibit
ton at the Tclfair Academy.
AT the request of the ladies of the sa-
vannah Art League there has been placed
in the Telfair Academy an admirable
painting by Mr.. George Baden Fox, the
present instructor of the art school.
The picture is the portrait of young
girl, Partisan artists, painted by Mr.
Fox in Paris, and exhibited there in the
salons of 1886. 1t received many favorable
comments from artists, as we'll as from art
journals and from the daily papers. Mr.
Fox has acceded to the request of the
ladies'. and the picture is now on exhibit
ton in the academy, and will be there
for the next month or two.
Among the most favorable notices of Mr.
FoX's work were those of lie Figaro and
of the Gazette des Beaux Arts, the latter
journal being strictly an art paper, whose
expressions and opinions are more highly
priced by artists. The Gazette des Beaux
Arts says of Mr. Foxs work:
Against q blue-green screen, on which
Is perehed still greener paroquet, a
young lady is sitting dressed in a yellow
gown spread out in all .its fullness against
the moss-colored carpet. At ease the young
lady gazes artessly out of the picture.
Under the curved lines of the eyebrows
the eyes, somewhat short-sighted, make a
visible effort to see.
This portrait of Mile k notes the
irresolute, Uniformed personality of young
women. 1t was executed by an American,
Mr.. Fox. Particularly happy is the har-
mony in green and yellow which sur
rounds the figure full of life'
This notice is by Paul Adam, one OF the
well-known art writers in Paris for this
paper Mr.. Fox's picture occupies an ad-
vantageous position in the academy, and
has been favorably commented on by
those who have seen it.
The art school, under Mr. Fox's direc-
ton, is progressing most satisfactorily,
and the work of the students from day to
day gives indication of much care and at
tention Should the interest in the school
continue as it is now, 1t is the intention
of those interested in the Art League to
keep the school open for another term of

THE TAX RATE INCREASE.
Combined Rate for Chatham May Not
BE Grenter Thnn Inst Year.

Should there be such an increase in the
state tax rate for 1898, as has been init
mated there might be by Control
Ter General Wright, there is still
possibility that the combined state and
county tax rate here for the year will be
no more than it was for 1897, namely $l22O
per $1,000.
The controller generally appears to think
that the heavy appropriations and new ex-
penses created by the legislature will ne
cessitate the collection for the state of
$3.50 per $1,000, which is the highest rate al
lowed by law. The state tax last year
was $5.u per $1,OO0. 1t is generally con-
Ter General is looking too far
ahead but even should ne be
correct in his prediction, there is a prob
ability that the combined rate in Chat
ham will not be increased, or if So the
commissioners say the increase will be a
small one
1t is expected that the county tax rate
will be lowered this year In two or three
ways, though it is hard matter TO fig
ure on as yet. 1t is said there will be
much less road work provided for this year
which will cut down the budget considera-
bly,. 1t may be that the grand jury will
provide for the purchase of the two toll
roads, making no provision for paving
other roads, in which event the appropria-
ton for road work would be cut down ma
teriany.
In the second place there is a posi-
bility of the appropriation to the Board Of
Education this year being less by $1,000
than was the case last year. Last year
the board was given $4,000 extra for the
payment of an Indebtedness which, it is
not expected, will have to be met again.
These two items would reduce the budget
considerably, and $4,000 off the budget
makes a difference of about so cents less
per 1000 in the taxes to be paid.
The budget, however, will be increased
in some particulars one of which is the
additional expense for the City Court.
There is another matter which may also
come up, but of that nothing definite is
yet known. Under the contract providing
for issuing bonds for building the cour,
house the county was required to start
a sinking fund of 5000 year for twenty
years after the expiration of the first ten
years. The first ten years will expire in
July, 1889 The question arises, therefore,
whether the first 5000 will have to be
raised in the budget of 1898 to meet this
first apportionment. The taxes for 1899
viii not be available until some time after
July of that year, so in order to have the
amount for 1899 available on time it might
be necessary 10 make the appropriation
this year. That is a matter which will
have to be discussed and settled by the

TO THE SUPREME COURT.
Judge FaIIiGant Refuses New Trial
in Liberty street Paving Gases.


Judge Faligant has refused a motion
for a new trial in the celebrated Liberty
street paving cases, and again the Judg-
ment Of the Supreme Court will be in
voked.
The case was argued before him yester-
day, the one taken up being that OF the
Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah against
D. c. Bacon. The motion for new trial
in the case of the Mayor and Aldermen
against D. G. Purse will not be taken up
until the Supreme Court has passed on the
other case.
On the first trial of these cases the city
won in the lower court, but the Supreme
Court ordered a new trial under a changed
assessment. The change In the assess
ment for the work was made and the case
tried again. A second time the verdict
was in favor of the city. Numerous ex-
cepuons were made to the judgment. in
the motion for new trial, and these will
now go before the Supreme Court.
In The case of the Southern Home Build
ing and Loan Association against Eva
Henley for injunction and receiver, Judge
Falligant yesterday refused the petition
The plaintiff sought to enjoin the defend
ant from proceeding further with litiga-
ton to prevent the sale of property levied
on under judgment obtained in the City
Court. The sale was about to take place
some months ago and was stopped on an
affidavit of illegality. The affidavit was
dismissed by Judge Norwood and the sale
was about to take place on Dec. when
bill of exceptions appealing from Judge
Norwood's decision on the affidavit was
presented and the sale stopped. This had
the effect of carrying the case to the Su-
preme Court. The plaintiff claimed the
litigation was only for the purpose of de-
lay and to keep it from getting property
that belonged to it. Judge Falligant, il
appears, did not see it in that light, and
his decision allows the case to go to the
Supreme Court. The property in the mean
time will not be sold.
Judge Fallgant heard argument yester-
day for nearly four hours in the case of
Hattie Lucas, BY her next friend and
guardian, J. s. Lucas, against Leo W.
Mehrtens and Mary E. Mehrtens, petition
for injunction and receiver. The suit
seeks to have a receiver appointed for an
estate in which the plaintiff and defend
ants are entitled to one-third share each.
The courts decision was reserved.
