O. Perry. The 364,000 estate of the late Charles O. Perry, secretary of the Co- | lumbian Banking Company, was the subject of quite a lively discussion in Judge Murasky's court yesterday. The discussion was brought about by the petition of the Public Administrator to be appointed special administrato® of | the estate. It was claimed that be- cause of ihe recent row. between the { directors was unsafe to allow | remain uncared for. tled the dispute by granting the Ad- | ministrator’s petition, with the under- standing that all the securities of the Perry’s effects to | banker be turned over to the clerk of ! the court and that the Public Adminis- trator retair. possession only of the | furniture of the deceased, stored in his late home at Belvedere. It was because of the testimony of F. L. Turp’n, who recently sued Perry | hecause of the trouble between the di- rectors of the bank, that Perry's estate Lecame a bone of contention.

J. Doyle, and after a long discussion the latter’s bills| for nineteen horses, aggregating $5475 were ordered paid. Evidence was presented that pro- posals for furnishing ten horses, more | or less, had been invited by resoiution | of the Fire Commissioners on August 7, 1903. The award of contract for ten| horses for §2000 was made to J. J. Doyle | on August 23. Proposals were again invited on Sep- tember 18 for twenty-five horses, and September 19 the contract for ten horses was awarded to Doyle for $275 each. | Fire Commissioner Watt thought the ! price charged was outrageously high.; He produced a letter from a man in Petaluma, who offered to sell good horses for 3200 or $250. Watt of the Fire Commission that a number of horse dealers throughout the country | ministration. Braunhart suggested the { adoption of a resolution requesting the Fire Commission to ‘follow the former plan in the purchase of horses. | Fire Commissioner Maestretti nounced rather defiantly that so far as he was concerned he would follow the charter and would not agree to send a man out in the country to get bids for horses, even if it were to the city's best interests to do so. This declaration was denstein. The Fimance and Fire Committees were directed to confer with the Fire| Commission to ascertain if the old plan| could not be readopted. MACHINES MAY OPERATE. The proposed ordinance prohibiting the operation of machines or engines on public streets and sidewalks, and de- signed to suppress compressed air house and carpet cleaning machines was in- definitely postponed without any ob- jection being made. City Attorney Lane advised that a provision exempting ma- chines used on city work from restric- | tion invalidated the measure. The resolution directing the Treas- urer chines to vari the sum of $4350, 1s persons, aggregating was rereferred to the joint committee on Finance, Police and | Finance | o claims ag- | Licenses. The expert of the Committee reported that Bregated more than the licenses handed in. The demand of C. B. Holbrook for $225 was rejected by the Finance Com- mittee, he not having assisted in the prosecution of certain offenders found guilty of cruelty to animals. The de- mand of former Auditor Wells for $7 for printing transcripts on appeal was amount of rejected, as it was not authorized by the board. BUYS LOT OF LAND. An authorization was ordered drawn in fayor of Annie Chapman for $7250, in payment for a lot of land on Quincy place condemned for St. Mary’s square | purposes The hoard adopted a rule that the clerk shall keep a record of all requests and instructions directed by the Board of Supervisors to any officer or board of the city and county, and the action thereon of such officer or board.

TR T e A FAMOUS PAINTIM One of the Masterpieces of Modern | Art, “The Blacksmith and His Forge,” by Hubert E. Delorme. Delorme’s triumph of realism, “The! ! Blacksmith.” has again been secured by, | and is being shown at the Emporium. | Like many of Meissonier's most cele- brated pictures, “The Blacksmith” is net of large size, its dimensions being about | four feet in length and three feet 1n | width, | As its name indicates, the picture is | that of a worker at the forge. He stands, | | middle aged. robustand compact in form, | his_sleeves rolled back. one hand on the | bellows rope and the other holding the | pincers. His figure, lighted in fropt by | | the intense light from the forge, D?s re- (\ealed in bold relief against the darkest background in the picture. Besides the light from the forgethere is a second light in the back of smithy from the window, through which s bright sunlight streams, creating sec- | ondary shadows. The third light. giving a neutral day- in_through a half-open doorway. The technical treatment of these vari ous lights and shadows is marvelous, the artist having succeeded in maintain. ing throughout the picture a soft and | pleasing tone. There is not a trace of i the reigning impressioni: the sunlight effect in the rear window that it is difficult to believe at first | blush that there is not an artificial light | in the rear. As the beholder studies the { canvas new and unexpected effects are discovered. The sparks from the forge ! seem to fly out of the picture and the figure grows startlingly near. ““The Blacksmith” will be on exhibi- the big whareged store, and no admission fee is .| Golden Gate avenue at Jones and Leav- said that the former practice| be asked for bids to purchase horses| had been abandoned by the present ad-| an- | | characterized as remarkable by Bran-| to return licenses on nickel ma-| met yes-| Little business was | light effect in the foreground. struggles | So true is’ tion for a short time. in the art rooms of - PROPERTY WILL | BE BENEFITED City Engineer Files Map of | Distriet Affected by Golden Gate Avenue Grade Changes RS TO ADJUST GAS FITTING R L Supervisors Consider Ordinance | Providing for Inspection of | the Piping in All Buildings, R | The Board of Public Works yesterday | | fled with the Board of Supervisors a4 \map of the district which will be rec- | ommended as the district benefited by i { the proposed changes of grades on; j enworth streets.
