~Stuyvesant Park belongs to tho people, and
at the Indignation meeting, called by The
EVENING WORLD, at Stuyvesaut Hall. Wednes-
day evening, they will assert their right to
enjoy its benefits.
A rousing meeting is already assured. The
publication in The EVENING WORLD of the
deed by which the propertyerty was
conveyed to the city has shown COR
clusively that for thirty years the people
have been ~uniustly deprived of the use of the
park after sunset every evening. The long
existing delusion that the deed contained a
provision insisting upon this early closing
has been entirely exploded.
The arrangements for the indignation
meeting are Progressing satisfactorily. The
sentiment Of the people to be expressed there
in speech and resolutions will be duly
brought to the attention of the Park Commits
sioners and the Board of Aldermen.
Among the leaders in this movement is
Michael J. Kelley, the lawyer. He will take
a prominent part in the meeting on Wednes-
day evening. A list of other well-known
speakers will be duly announced in The

After u weary struggle, we at last reached a

and there saw our friend lying torn. bleeding
and insen-ible. His legs were held by thick

cavity of the rock; the other was broken,
and his face and hair were stained with
blood.

The next day we heard all Ben remem-

When peering through. the trees, trying to
catch a glimpse of the light, he felt a move

of teeth on his arm and n huge paw on his
