When the Goliah reached San Francisco

IA ~The Schools
ART HISTORY.

In the thirteenth century, the three
great schools of art were at Pisa,
Florence and Siena. The one at Siena
is the one that we have to deal with
today.
Not very many paintings are left
from this school, and. those that are
left, are mostly of religious nature,
The best paintings of this school were
painted on the walls that surrounded
the cemetery. The walls began to get
dirty and so the priests ordered them
to be whitewashe1. Thus the paint
ings were covered up. Many, many
years after, the whitewash began to
peel off, and these paintings were
discovered.
In these days, the painters were not
allowed to carry out their own ideas,
but were obliged to follow those of the
priests. Their pictures must be of Ger,
tain colors, for each color had a mean
ing, Red meant divine love; blue,
truth ana fidelity; gold, goodness and
faith, and white, purity.
At this time, the artists of the Sienese
school formed sort of guild, and said
that henceforth they would be indie

MAYOR VETOES.
Declines to Sign the Amended Street
Railway Ordinance.

Mayor Currier has vetoed the amend
ed electric street railway ordinance,
which was passed by the council last
Friday evening. The reasons he puts
forth for this veto are that it gives the
company monopoly of the streets for a
period of twenty years, which he does
not approve of.
His second reason in opposition to the
ordinance, is that it contains no provis.
ion by which the city may
buy the line of the company before the
twenty years expires if it wishes to dc
so, and the company will sell. He holds
that some such provision ought to be
inserted, and that it would work no
hardship to either party, as the city
would not have to buy, nor the com
pany sell, unless both were willing.
But that such provision would allow
the consummation of such an act if it
was desirable.
In an interview the mayor stated
that he had talked with several mem
bers of the council previous to last Fri
days meeting, and that they had offered
no objection to this provision.
The matter is now up to the council
as to whether or not it will sustain the

Friday was a decidedly delightful
December day, and the afternoon was
most propitious for the reception given
by Mrs. William A. Funk and Mrs. F..
Mortimer Currier at the residence of
the former, 215 Clark street. The prin'
cipals were assisted by Mesdames
James, Fox and Jay Hubbard, with
Mrs. E. L. Patterson presiding at the
coffee urn in the dining room, and Mrs
DR.. Hawes serving punch in one of the
parlors. The curtains were drawn to
shut out the daylight, and under the
glare of gas light the, handsomely
gowned ladies and beautifully decor
ated apartments presented most fasci-
mating sight. About one hundred and
fifty invitations were issued, and from
three until six o'clock the residence was
a scene of exceptional feminine activity
and good cheer. Dainty refreshments
we're served, and the event proved one
of the most delightful social occasions
that ever occurred in the city.
The evening reception was no less
charming than the afternoon. Mr..
Funk and Mayor Currier received with
the ladies, and from $50 until mid
night the beautiful home was a scene
of social gaiety as inspiring as it was
pleasing to the hundred guests assem-
bled. Mesdames Fox, Brandenberg and
Koehler assisted in serving the dainty
refreshments in the beautifully decor
ated and tastefully arranged dining
room, and Miss Carrie Brewster presided
at the punch bowl. In the upper hall
Prof. Brastad's mandolin orchestra was
stationed, and during the afternoon and
evening discoursed music especially ap-
propriate to such an occasion, winning
the applaudits of all.
The afternoon and evening of Decem

of those who partook of the hospitality
of the hosts and hostesses, as one of ex-
ceptional pleasure.
