HANDSOME NEW sCHOOLHOUsE

So great has ben the rush to that
locality that in Sunnyside there Is now
a community of over 1000 persons. and
the city found it necessary to erect a
schoolhouse, which was recently COM
pleted at a cost of $4,000
The Sunnyside district is peculiarly
free from winds, protection being af-
forded from this annoyance by the
great Sutro forest. The Sutro forest is
looked upon also as another reason for
an investment in Sunnyside, as the
probabilities are that il will eventually
be converted into city park, thereby
enhancing to a considerable extent the
value of the adjoining property-which
is the Sunyside district

having helped defend her possessions
against herself, put in a claim to be
appointed her heir. and as his argu-

and lances she agreed.
In spite Of her disastrous experience
with men, the countess undertook mar
riage a second time. This act aroused
the Indignation Of Philip the Good OF
France, one Of the most active meddlers
of his time. To appease the wrath of
Philip the countess agreed TO give up
all her possessions and retire to the
castle or Teyiinger on the Rhine, where
She died three years later at the age Of
thirtv-six.

for whom she had neither liking nor
respect John Of Bavaria. bishop Of
Liege. a disappointed sutton, as a re-
suit declared war against the countess
and compelled her 10 make him her

The bishop also bribed the beautiful
countess husband 20 permit him TO
Elanage her estate, from which he ex-
pected To realize large fees. Disguised
with men in general. the countess fled
to England and appealed thence 70 the
Pope for a divorce. The holy father
said he could find no plea which TO his
mind would give him just reason for
granting the decree.

made a great impression upon many

to march against the distressed lady s
