All through the latter half of the XVIII Century there was a considerable amount of finely hand-painted decorations done on furniture. Amongst some the great artists associated with this work are the well-known names of Pergolesi and Angelica Kaufmann. This painted work was probably done more often on satinwood or enamel, but there are instances of it being executed on mahogany with beautiful effect.

This special XVIII Century cabinet shows an example of the latter type of furniture. The grilles are cut out, and on the wood formations thus left are finely executed motifs of fruits, etc. The door panels are painted with Italian decorations usual with this class of work.

Withdrawing Goods To Escape Tariff WASHINGTON. May 19. Withdrawal of imported goods from bonded warehouses, so as to avoid payment of the ten per cent ad valorem tariff provided for in the pending war tax bill, has reached proportions never approached before in the nation's history.

Figures reported to the treasury department today show that in New York good valued at nearly was withdrawn in a single day and that the withdrawals are continuing at a rate of from to there daily.

Weit-zel, left for Kansas City, to pass upon 10 horses that have been selected for the police bureau. Advices from the western city that the required number of horses meeting the Pittsburgh specifications for pure blacks har been secured, reached Pittsburgh a day or two ago, and the city representatives started preparations at once to inspect the animals.

The specifications are so stringent that only the largest horse markets can attempt to fill them. Pure blacks of a certain height and weight only can qualify, and it was impossible to fill the order east of Kansas City. If found to meet requirements the 10 horses will be shipped immediately to Pittsburgh. The contract price per horse is $237.50 to which is to be added shipping charges. The city, has been asked $300 for blacks meeting the specifications in the local markets and no guarantee of the number to be delivered was tendered.

The 10 horse which will be put into the mounted police service will be the first addition to the "Black Horse Squadron" since council two years ago declared the famous troop should be reduced from 36 to 12. When the 4 horses were sold there was no limit to sentimental expression at the parting of the trained animals and their masters who had been returned to foot work again. While the new horses will not mean restoration of the "Black Horse Squadron" to its original proportion, city executives consider it a step in the right direction and that the standards raised when the organization was at full strength are again receiving proper recognition. A number of the horses will be necessary to replace animals worn out by the mounted service. Alexander Pope 1688; Henry VI.
