pearance, but disagreeable in odor. The
simple operation of cutting back the
branches every second year, thus pre-
venting it from Towering, removes the
whole difficulty. 1t is therefore in con
temptation to restore it to the streets OF
Washington.
Such il the effect of the wonderful
growth of the street trees, seen from tho
Capitol or other high buildings, that it
to some extent presents the appearance
of city built in Il forest. Many streets
are now completely nrchcd by trees
throughout their entire length. Malaria,
once such baue to Washington, has
been materially checked and the night
temperature during summer, that used
to he almost uncomfortable, has now been
materially lesscnod. The unprotected
sidewalks open to the direct rays of the
sun stored up heat during tho day,
which WAS rarely exhausted before morn

on TREE PLANTING.
How the Carolina Poplar Has I'm
proved Washington.

The success with one tree used in
Washington is matter of interest to all
clt'.s where soft coal is used. Tho
carolina poplar is found to be one of the
most vigorous growers and one Of the
most beautiful in leaf and form. 1t is
similar to the Lombardy poplar in
shape, but the head is fuller, it's foliage
Is thick, and the leaves large, dark and
glossy. 1t grows rapidly from cnttiug,
and 1t is found that it will flourish even
where pail of coal smoke is thick
enough to darken the atmosphere. In
addition to these valuable if not wonder
full characteristics. it is regarded as an
anti-malarial tree because of its great
capacity for absorbing water from the
soil. Mr.. Smith has named it the
american eucalyptus" and has used it
more extensively in the lower portions
Of the city, and has given many thousands
OF it for planting on those sections of the
Potomac flats which have been reclaimed,
The Tree Commission have also dis.
covered a method of cultivating another
tree, which will flourish in Western

ing gloriously drunk, endeavored as
much as possible to make himself gener-
ally obnoxious to the inhabitants of Los
Angeles street. Deputy Constable Bert
Smith endeavored to quiet him, but Pat
rick refused to be soothed, so he was
promptly placed under arrest. Patrick
then announced his intention of remain
ing on the sidewalk for the rest of his
natural life, and he fought for thirty
minutes like wildcat; it finally took the
combined efforts OF Bert Smith, the
HERALD reporter, and bystander to
place him in hack, which conveyed him
to the County Jail. Here, when the hand
cuffs had been removed he insisted on
taking the change out of Smith, but after
being handled for five minutes in an ar
tistic manner by the jailer, he was in
duced to enter his temporary lodging

CUT HIS THROAT.
Suicide of a Nurseryman
Through Dependency.
ACKNOWLEDGED BY TELEPHONE.
A Suit Which Depended on the Le-
gality of Such Action Decided
in Court.

A horrible method was that adopted
by Henry Walter in taking his life, at
his residence on West Ninth street, at
6 80 O'Clock yesterday morning. Walter,
with a dull razor, cut his throat from ear
to ear. and was found dead, lying in a
pool Of blood, by his wife and neighbor
a few moments afterward.
Henry Walter was florist. His nur-
series surrounded his home, and up to a
year ago he enjoyed fair measure Of
prosperity and was accredited fairly
well-to-do and contented citizen. Then
the floods came and Walters work OF the
previous season, among his plants and
shrubs, was completely undone. From
that time on the nurseryman is said TO
have become despondent, ,morose, gloomy
and sullen. TO add to his misfortunes,
early in the present year illness overlook
him. and it seemed to be his idea that
his days on earth were numbered. So
strongly did this feeling get possession of
him that Walters despondency rapidly
grew upon him.
About week since illness caused him
to be confined to his room. There he
passed the days, reclining upon lounge,
which he used as bed at night. Yes
terday morning Mrs. Walter, his wife.
arose at about O'Clock and finished
some little work in the gardens. She
then proceeded to arouse her husband,
but found all doors leading into the par
lor locked. She next went to the front
of the house, and peering through win
dow was Mortified to see the dead body
Of her husband lying upon the floor.
Mrs. Walter at once ran across the
street and called Mr.. Il. w. j. Scott, a
neighbor. Mr.. Scott went over and broke
open the door Of the room in which
Walter lay. Coroner Meredith was no.
tilted and removed the body to Orr &c
Sutch's undertaking rooms. At 2 O'Clock
an inquest was held over the remains.
The testimony taken was in substance as
above related. The jury returned
verdict in accordance with the facts in
the case. Walter leaves young wife
and little baby in almost destitute circum-
stances. He was a member Of the
Knights of Pythias, and will be buried
under the auspices of that Order from
his late residence this afternoon. Quite
a number of friends and acqusintances
of the dead man viewed the remains at
the morgue yesterday.

FINE STONE BUILDINGS.
Granite of Titanic Measure and

Granite of Titanic Measure and
Marble Like Mother-of.Pearl.
Los Angeles is just now engaged in the
erection of line Of business blocks
which are in all respects superior to any
in the State. The most substantial and
ornamental of them all is that on the cor
ner OF Spring and Second streets,
on the same block with the
HERALD. The walls are all Of
stone or iron. Yesterday Major Geo. II.
Bonebrake, one Of the two owners ol
this building, was found surveying il
with pardonable pride. A HERALD re-
porter passing, said:
Major, how much greater is the ex.
pense of stone than brick in such a
building?"
"The stone in such building costs us
"a per cubic foot" replied the good-na-
tured banker; "and the brick would cost
US, laid up in such wall, about half as
much. That is for the sandstone. But
come here and see these blocks Of granite.
We bring this from Temecula. These
blocks are 2x2 feet in the cross section,
and 51s feet long. Then here are pol
ished granite shafts which are to 90
in front Of the building, and these are to
be as pedestals for these marble columns.
The granite is square and the marble
above is round. Both are highly pol
ished. The marble is from Slower
Mountain at Cotton, and looks like
mother Of pearl"
And sure enough, SO perfectly is it
polished and 80 beautifully worked that
it does really resemble the shell. Such
are the edifices that are to adorn the
Angelic City.

All ABOARD Tor the coming august
Races at the Park.
On Friday the Board OF the Sixth
Agricultural District met in their office in
this city. The whole matter OF the
management of the business OF the Dis
trict came up for discussion. The con-
clusion reached was that the proper
policy to pursue is one of improving with
an eye single to the future. In other
words, all that is to be done is to be of a
permanent character. An era of active
betterment in all departments is to be
ushered in at once, and this is to be kept
up without any Stacking of the pace. A
large gang OF men is to be employed at
once to put the grounds in thorough
order. The Park is to be so, no longer
in name only, but real park is to be
made OF the place. Four men will be
set to work on Monday to begin this pro-
gramme.
The thirty-.ight new box stalls,
on which work was begun some
time since, are nearly all complete.
The building for the exhibits will
be started next. Fences are to be
built and all the ground put in apple pie
order.
The directors have decided to pursue a
very liberal policy with regard to ex-
hibitors. For the first time in the history
OF the association, hay for all stock at the
fair will be furnished free. as will also
straw for bedding. Another liberal fea-
ture is, no charge will be made
this year for entering exhibits in
tended to compete for the premiums,
except in the case of live stock.
All other entries may be made without
the owner having to purchase even a
season ticket. Still another progressive
