THE PARK QUESTION.
The City Must Pay For Its Forty Acres or
Ihere'n be IromhIe.

The City Nust Pay For Its Forty Acres or
Thersll be Trouble.
The city fathers are IN a perple1lng
dilemma III regard 10 their recent park
purchase. ia the month of August
nearly every alderman in the council
was carried away by the park fever.
The Lincoln Park Improvement was
argued over, and no satisfactory acton
could be accomplished ia the matter
until a compromise was affected by a
vote 10 purchase the forty acres ad-
Joining the Ball forty on the north, at
A cost of SIS, 900. with the view of form
ng the whole tract into a grand park at
some future time. The motion 10
adopt the plans of Dubois, the land
scape gardner, for the improvement OF
Lincoln Park, was passed without a
murmur at the same meeting. When
the flush Of victory had faded away
and the aldermen came TO look at their
purchase a san investment, many
of them experienced a change of heart.
They became mbued with the belief
that sl5, 900 was a prodlgOus price for
the land. The owners OF the land, G.
Van Slyck, Henry :. DeForest and
Lewis X. Garnsey, lost no time IN fur
nishing an abstract of the title, and ex-
ecuting and delivering deed TO the
city. They knew when they had a good
thing, and picked the plum when 1t
was ripe. Now they are pressing for
the payment of the $4,000, and the
council will probably have the option
of paying it or standing law suit with
the owners of the land.

Newsboys no Longer Allowed on the

An order has been issued by the
Street Railway company prohibiting
newsboys from selling papers on the

Of the Illinois Supreme Court, that a
railway company allowing newsboys on
its cars is responsible for any damages
they may receive. The case was against
the North Cottage Street Railroad, and
the judgment was for S3542, which has
been paid. The court held that since
the boy was permitted on the car
he was not a trespasser, and be-
ing allowed to jump on and of the
company assumed responsibility for
any damage that might ensue. This Is
the first decision OF the kind, and is OF
great Importance to railroad people.

NORTH HUDSON'S DEAD.
Past Commander Luck's Tribute to the
Sleeping Veterans.

Past Commander Luck's Tribute to the
Sleeping Veterans.
Hundreds of expectant citizens fringed
the line of march that the veterans of the
Grand Army Posts took on their way to
before a single detachment had left head
quarters. Every town furnished its
quota.
In the n~eighborhood of the different
public schools of that section the usual
number of people had gathered, waiting
patiently to give the old soldiers a hearty
welcome when they came to gather the
flowers that the little ones had brought to
deck the patriots graves.
In West Hoboken, Weehawken, Union
Hill and West New York like scenes were
enacted. A detachment of veterans
marched up followed BY g train of sombre
words of greeting, the children sang
marching Through Georgia. and other
songs calculated to please the veterans,
and then they marched off; but there had
been q change, for the sombre aspect OF
the wagons had disappeared and they
bloomed with choice and fragrant
flowers.
Shortly after eleven O'Clock the various
detachments sent out by Ellsworth Post
to the different towns had all returned.
and the line was formed for the march to
the cemetery. Lieutenant Battenbarm
looked every inch a soldier as he drew his
sword in front of Company B, Second
Regiment, the escort of the posts. Ellis
worth Post, No. IA, G. A. r., Commander
Edward Everson; Ellsworth Post, Sons
of Veterans, No. 2, Commander Sehlatter,
and the Hexamer Battery. Cap
tain Buckens, followed Company
B, and marched as only veterans
can. Comrade John Kline rode in the mid
die of the Posts and despite the absence
of the leg that he left at Antietam, sat
erect and dignified.
The head of the column was not long in
reaching Grove Church Cemetery, and
then the real exercises of the day began.
Past Commander Theodore Bauman,
the chaplain of the Post, prayed fervently
and then Past Commander Luck deliy-
cred the Grafton of the day, and the tri-
butte that he paid to the comrades sleep
ing beneath the fag-bedecked mounds
around him had the eloquence of true
feeling in 1T.
The Rev. Mr.. Russell, of the West Ho-
boken Methodist church, said a few
words and the Union Hill Liedertafel
sang. Then the Posts were divided into
detachments and the. graves were decor
ated. Not q soldier wa forgotten.
Captain HeXamer, Captain Neushaller
and Captain Larralie are among the
veterans inferred in Grove Church
Cemetery. and when the Line reformed
their last resting place was not forgotten.
The march homeward was without incl
dent. A little refreshment was taken.
and the men quietly dispersed.

A strawberry and ice cream festival was
he'd in the basement of Hedding M. E.
Church last evening under the manage
ment of the Ladies' Aid Society and the
little people. The children held their re-
ception in the afternoon, and there were
about one hundred and thirty of them
present. In the centre of the room was a
raised platform, which was divided into
several rooms, which formed a complete
house.
There was the parlor, in which were
seated a number of little ladies; then there
was the diningroom. with several ladies
seated around a table which vas set as for
a meal, and their positions were as natural
as could be. The kitchen was a wonder,
with Aunt Dinah standing at a table, and
a p~icaninny standing by the hearth. There
was also q hospital attached, which was
filed with suffering patients.
Another feature of the evening was a
spelling match, in which sixty joined. 1t
was not long, however, before most of
them were down, and the prize, a sill
v~er-handled umbrella, was carried off in
triumph by the Rev. w. G. Snodgrass, the
pastor.
The committees in charge were:-Dolls,
Mrs. Snodgrass and Mrs. Davidson; Flow
