REMITTANCE OF MISS DAVENPORT.

stage last night, making her rcentrance at the Grand
Opera House In tho strong, but repulsve drama OF

pendlture Of talent and zeal in the wrong direction.
"Fedora" is Of those crotc French plays that
smell like menagerie Its heroine is q most OBJ
noxous female, and pretty much all that a womar

inenty fit her for strong character parts puts forth
her strength less Of tho physique than of the emo

PLANS FOR TIE NEW CITY BUILDINGS.

PLANS FOE TEE NEW CITY BUILDINGS
Little has been heard Of that mistaken
scheme to erect couple Of buildings adjoining
the City Hall and the County Court House
s,nce Assembiyman Crosby introduced his bill
at Albany TO prevent such spoliaton Of the
mark. Yet the scheme is not dead it only
sleeps. Its advocates are apparently lying
low in the hope that the Legislature will forget
the Crosby bill and adjourn without passing it.
The time within iclearchitects' designs will
be received by the Commissioners Of the Sink
ing Fund on lines already laid down and circu-
lated has been extended until April. and there
is little doubt unless the Crosby bill is promptly
passed that the city will be committed to their
scheme. The bill should therefore be enacted
without delay.
The extent Of the damage which would bd
done this pretty little park. already over
crowded with buildings none too grateful to
the eye, were these immense wings" spread
upward and outward from the City Hall and
the Court House. can be fully appreciated only
by looking at the advertised plans 1t is pro-

With one aspirant for the Vice-Presidential
romination at the head Of the Interior De-
partment and another at the head OF the Pen
sion Bureau, it is almost inevitable that tho
rival booms should come into COLLISION. ouoh
has already been the case. Under MI. Lamar
General Black managed his bureau as ne saw

toe the mark. OF course the "physical wreck"
can do nothing but yield to his superior. Ills
efforts to maintain his dignity however. are
nainfuI to witness. Two booms In the same
department cannot be expected TO dwell to-

Probably it was through an oversight that such

out upon the pretty bright stars and

of the angels you've so often told me
about. And, mamma, did you know
that your Little One was going to be
one Of 'em tonight You always said
that when good little boys and girls
died they would be made like these
lovely angels who wear the white
dresses and beautiful golden crowns.

keep me from going where I'll be well

me go now, please. Ill come back 10

just tell the dear Saviour that papa and
mamma haven't got any other little
boy to comfort 'em, and then he will
let me come. Now, kiss me good

any more. Little One is going to be
an angel, you know, and up in that

And thus, with smile of ineffable
happiness irradiating his countenance
and the seal of divine peace upon
his brow, died our precious Little
One.
Many eventful years have come and
gone since he faded from sight. But
in our hearts his memory is ever fresh
and green; and to-day, as we sit by
our desolate hearth, we stretch forth
our arms in impotent yearning to en-
fold the fragile form of him who wal
wont to fill them 80 completely. Blu
we shall sec and know him again
some day. He will not change beyont
our recognition, and the eye of uner.
ring love shall single him out from
among the myriad hosts thronging tn,

earth, he will be, forever and aye
