which has been caused among the poor people Of that
city by the recent heavy snow-tLe deepest which has
fallen there lOr many years.
Having completed one big job, Mr.. KimbaI,
Director OF the Cotton Exposition, is thinking ot
engaging in another with the object OF securing to At
lanta abundant supply Of pure water His PROPOSE
ton Is TO dig canal CONNECTING with the
River He thinks the plan - entirely feasible but is not
ready to make move just yet
YOrScy Pete crowned king of the St.
Louis nowjbogs last summer, vice Peg-LeG Jerry lie
posed, has been IN turn hurled from his throne The
king refused to give accounting of the money which
he had collected for NevsbOys' Home and II sup
posed that he had devoted part or It to his personal
advantage. Since his detlronement, however II has
been made clear that this was false charge. The sx

The rapid destruction of the cedars of Leb
anon referred to time ago in THE TRIBUNE has been
made so apparent that the Government has undertaken

wall around them. The trees VIII be- accessible to al
travellers who desire to visit them but the erection Of
tents Enclosure will not be- permitted No fire viii
be allowed the Cedars and the stoves and cooAnS
apparatus of tourists be- Used only outside the wall
The Observance This precauton Is shown TO be imp0r
from the fact that short time ago tire" OF the las

Carelessuess Of the servants Of travellers The cutting
OH of any portion OF the trees Is prohibited.
The Boston Journal gave way TO little
mild Indignation the other day In the following para
graph: Clara Louise Kellogg sang about 1000 worth
to the inmates of the Nebraska Pententary the other
day and asked nothing for It. A man who had neNei
stolen anything made love 10 another mans hOrss
would have TO pay - 10 hear her About the only man
who gets left nowadays, and his 10 pay big price foi
all the fun has Is the honest, respectable harwOrk
ing citizen" There is truth In this conclusion and
though the tone is not quite philosophical as people
have right expect In Boston newspaper, II was en-
tircy unnecessary tor The omaha Bee to rcort as tot
lows: Wa have doubt thar II tho Editor Of The BcS'
ton JoUraa had been ia Nebraska he would have been
placed in position where he could Ia ge heard Cara FOR
