Ierly false, sensational and silly story of

A good many vt its errors might have been

The new group ot statuary being executed |

for Fairmouut park. of which he sent me
four fine photographs some months ago-no-
ticed at the time in this column-promises To
not only bring him fame, which he we'll de-
serves, but to give American art higher
place in French appreciation. The gigantic
figure OF the aboriginal woman, who defends
her young in the group, from the wolf Is oN-

There are numerous people around Lam

1t must be plain, Tor example, that there
will very soon be occasion here for another
| cemetery, on good deal larger scale and dii-
ferent plan from any of the present burying
| grounds The inside graVeyardS must go,
| sooner or later. They are already
| filed with graves some of them, Ike

| sadly neglected, brethron-sre fallen into

| ravian and Shreuer's will be and ever abide
| in the heart OF the city, l doubt it. Wood
ward Hill is filling up rapidly aud so is the
| Lancaster. st Mary's is crowdlng toward
the fence The built-up city limits are at the
| gates and around the walls of all of them.
| The Lancaster cemetery was out of town
| when established. 1t has thousands of graves
| in it now, and with the heavy increase of
| population room there il becoming scarcer
| and lots more valuable every year. ! believe
| it never was run for profit; but ii has fund
| of S25,O ,O0O on hand, out of which 1t can make
| handsome improvements all the time. IL
| cannot extend its present limits in any direc-

| ! heard il calculated the other day that
| every body and every tombstone in our grave
yards could be removed and new lots in a
new cemetery be made for the value of the
ground they now occupy. Perhaps not Blu
| at any rate, the establishment OF a new ceme

| purchase of 200 or 500 acres of land on the lef
| side of the Millersville turnpike, slOplnl
| down to the Conestoga, accessible by stree
cars is one OF the ideas have heard brOachec
| in this connection.
Another is the purchase of the knapp
Villa and Tells Hahn property for a lik'
| plan. But the crematists object to a ceme
terry so near above the water works. W,
shall see.
And then why not park, indeed, some
where along the creek What is the matte
with the property on the north side of tn
| Philadelphia turnpike and the west bank O
the creek for this? And how would it strik
| you to have a new road built, say from tn
| head of Duke street on the LititZ turnpike
| or about at the old Stambaugh property, /
| take vi the "plSasure road back OF hepler'
| and Mcttranns: follow IL over TO the Ney
| Holland turnpike, down to the big bridg
aud then along the creek to Potts tavern, L
| Rocky Springs, eventually TO Graehs Land
ing, and then down to this new cemetery be
| tween Lancaster and Millersyille. All q
| this is in peoples heads. Keep it going
Lancaster will be big city before your grand

how or why he was beaten for congressman

The feeling is very strong among tn
people who knew the late King Ludwig, of Ba
