EVERGREEN CEMETERY.

A great improvement is about to take place in the appearance of the s'old part" of the Evergreen cemetery by the removal of the fences around the lots, retur6ng the same and the curbing of the avenues and setting granite boundary posts. When this impor- tant work is done the old part will be com pletely transformed in appearance and in keeping and harmony with the beautiful lawn like appearance of the new part. This work cannot be successfully accomplished without the aid and cooperation of the. lot owners and to this end the directors have caused circulars to be sent to all such, by which they are informed that the directors will remove the fences, returf the lots and set the curb stones and boundary posts for the low price of ten dollars per lot. They have already received favorable re- sponses from nearly one hundred owners, and the work will be commenced without delay. The directors have finished one large plot of ground near the 'tHeart" in this way at their own expense, so that members of the association can judge for themselves of the beauty of the proposed improvements when they become general. MT. James D. Dewell, the president of the association, is very en- thusiastic in the carrying out of this new de- parture, and he is seconded in the work by the entire board of directors.
 Another important improvement of the cemetery is now nearly accomplished, viz, the filling in of the bed of the "lake" ill the southern portion of the grounds. Many thousand cubic yards of earth were required in this work, The ground thus reclaimed and acquired will more than pay for itself in the receipts which will come in from the sale of the new lots.
 A very beautiful new monument has just been erected on Western avenue by MT. Dan iel s. Glenney, the State street merchant, through Messrs. Thomas Phillips & Son. It adds another to the many beautiful and cost ly monuments of modern design now to be seen in this beautiful "city of the dead' The body of the monument is of marble resting on three massive granite bases, the dies being beautifully polished with four highly polished pillars, one at each corner with carved capitals and nodded bases, the whole surmounted by statue of memory represented as dropping flowers on the graves beneath. The expressiveness of the face is remarked by all as very chaste and beautiful. The statue is of the finest Sicilian marble. The whole height of the monument is fifteen feet. The graves be- meath are those of five children of MT. ard Mrs Glenney and each is marked by q thick short slab of marble with granite base, and each bears the name of the sleeper below in raised letters Upon the upper most nodded base stone of the family moIu- ment is the name ''Glenney" in raised let ters The Glenney lot is opposite those of theMessrs, Benedict and Pardee in the western part of the grounds.
 Another important matter in connection with this cemetery is the coming addition of tract of perhaps dozen acres on the south west side. The price to be paid for the land is to be determined through the courts by appraisers.
