RIGHT 10 REJECT BIDS.
Questioned in q Suit Against the
District COAnfgsfOners.

|
In a petition for Injunction against the
Commissioners filed yesterday by John
Kennedy, local coal dealer, through his
attorney, John Ridout, the complainant
questions their right and authority to re-
feet any and all bids or proposals for the
performance Of q contract The specific
purpose OF the proceedings Is to restrain
the Commissioners from awarding the con-
tract for furnishing coal for the different
branches Of the District government to
Charles Werner. who is also named rs a
defendant. for the fiscal year ending June
80. 1901. Upon the presentation of the
petition to the court temporary restrain
ing order was granted and the matter will
come up for hearing on August next.
In the petition fled by Mr.. Kennedy It
II explained that some time ago the Com
missioners advertised for proposals for the
furnishing Of fuel for the different
branches of the District government for
the coming fiscal year.
The Advertisement, 1t is alleged, set forth
that the contracts would be awarded to
the lowest responsible bidder. In response
to the advertisements the complainant
states he filed written proposals to furnish
coal to the different branches Of the Dis
trict government for $50. 40. This bid.
Kennedy states, was the lowest in the ag-
gregate filed and that he is entitled to the
contract.
Kennedy, however, states that he is In
formed and believes that the Commission
ers first announced the award Of the con-
tracts to the firm of Stephenson Bros, but
afterward, because Of an alleged clerical
error. annulled the award and awarded the
contracts to Charles Werner. whose bid in
the aggregate. is $54.S0O. or $3.50 greater
than that of the complainant
Kennedy asked that the Commissioners
be enjoined from awarding the contracts
to Werner and the court granted a tempo
rary restraining order. returnable on July

One Penny Rent.

From the London Chronicle.)
remarkable rent audit" is held at
Breitenberg Castle, near Itzehoe, on the
occasion Of tribute being paid to Count
Rantzau for a piece of land owned by a
peasant working on his estate. Every year
on a certain day. punctually at noon, the
peasant presents himself and tenders an
old silver Danish penny as rent for his
holding. The origin of this tenure Is as
follows: Some years ago Count Rant
Eau, while hunting stag, rode upon a
DOGGY piece OF land, and found himself
sinking into the morass. A peasant, hear
ing the counts cries. was just In time to
save his life. but declined to receive any
reward. On being pressed, however, the
peasant agreed finally to accept the piece
of land whereon the rescue took place.
The count agreed. but added that in sign
of dependency he must pay every year
Danish silver penny as tribute to the cas-
tie, and be his guest on that occasion
The land is arabic now, and goes by the
name of the "Pfennigwiese' Tor Penny
Meadow. The former scheme of tenure
is still in force But the old Danish sill
yer pennies are becoming scarce, and the
probability is that some day the land will
revert to its former owner.

ed and woven like piece Of Manila hemp
rope, with even the tiny threads initiated
to perfection. So delicate and dainty is
such chain that one can hardly believe
1t possible that the women Iapidaries beat
out the rough gold and draw the gold wire
without any Of the modern implements
used by Western gold heaters.
Hat pins of pure gold are made In the
form Of miniature Malay creeses with wa
ter lily leaves for handles. Breastpins
and stick pins are often thickly studded
with stones. Silver and gold fligree work,
lace-like in appearance, Is made with rare
skill; other products Of the women Jewell
ers are necklaces and pendants Of dainty
gold FERNS flexible and yet strong with
every stem and vine veined exactly as in
the original paint Knives, brooches. and
pocketbooks are cut out OF mother-ot- pearl,
and thickly studded with green AID red
garnets.. Black and white pearls are set
In gold buttons and earrings. Like most
of the Oriental craftsmen, the Mania lapi-
daries are expert in enameling. an art
which they combine with their other work
with excellent taste The necklace may
be OF gold, enameled blue, and set with
gray pearls. or with black enamel studded
with red and green garnets. Few of these
Jewels are limitations. Nearly every w0-
man lapidary strives to give an individu-
ality to her work, and her products are
proof Of her success.
The treasures of one shop can rarely be
duplicated In those Of another. Sometimes
the conception may be q little crude and
lacking in taste: but where there Is one
such example there will be dozen that
are perfect in every particular The har-
monizing Of colors and combining Of stones
and metals show an Instructive taste
among these illiterate Manila lapidaries
which is difiicult to explain From the
standpoint Of the American jeweler there
is much In the way Of originality and per-
lection Of design and execution that can
be learned from these women Of the Orient.
In all the art they display, something Of
the dark. sinister Moorish is always sug-
gested. something that is felt in the abund-
ance Of Malay creeses, green and golden
alligators. dragons. and knives OF every
design and color.
