Twenty Millions for Parks and BouIevards

Chicago's system Of public recreation
grounds consists of six spacious parks
strung upon a thirty mile chain of park
ways, called boulevards, which, except for
two short gaps, completely encircles the
city. These parks and driveways are in
general well advanced toward completion,
and as their construction has progressed
they have satisfactorily fulfilled the pur-
poses for which they were created. Jack
son, the largest of the parks, which has
been chosen as the site Of the Worlds fair,
is as yet mainly unimproved, but is des-
tined to be one day the foremost recreation
ground of Chicago.
The parks proper, with several small
urban grounds under the control of the
West Side park commission, comprise
l ,s4l 1910 acres of ground, and flfty-nine
miles of boulevards have been built or laid
out in connection with them. In the
twenty-five years since the beginning OF
park construction in Chicago over $50, 00O,-
900 have been expended upon the purchase,
building and maintenance of these parks
and ouleyards.-Harper's Weekly.

TENNIS AND YACHTING GOWNS.


Characteristic Features of This Seasons
Costumes for Outdoor Sports.
Shirt waists and blouses are an impor-
tant feature in this seasons tennis and
yachting costumes, which latter are in
many instances made in lighter colors than
were those of last year. Homespuns, serges
and fiannels are the favored materials for
the gowns, while the blouses and shirt
waists are of washing silk, fiannelette,
twilled flannel or linen, as best suits the
taste of the wearer. For yachting cos
tunes the most popular materials are navy
blue serge for the gown and white washing
silk or linen for the shirt, worn under an
open coat of the serge.

BLOUSES FOR TENNIS AND BOATING.
The shirt waist shown in the cut is the
latest novelty of the season. 1t is made in
cream twilled flannel; the front cuffs and
collar are in silk striped delaine. The re-
naming figures in the cut give pleasing
illustrations of blouses suited alike To
tennis or boating. Two of these are made
with side pockets and collars that turn
down over the fashionable necktie. A good
idea is also given in this cut of the girdles
and belts worn with tennis shirts and
blouses, as well as of the variety of hats
that are worn with outing costumes. The

Seal leather is a special feature brought
out this season. This skin, which super
sedes Russian leather, the favorite of last
summer, is really part of the sealskin,
carefully tanned, to be used as leather and
is so delightfully."- soft as to render it per
feet boon to tender feet. 1t has besides the
great advantage of not only showing off
its natural shades, ranging from light tan
to dark brown, but of being dyed in lovely
tints
There is a decided tendency at fetes, we'd
dings, promenades and all fashionable
gatherings to wear shoes of bright, cheer
full hues, harmonizing or contrasting with
the gowns. Moreover, fashionable ladies
are particular to wear stockings in plain
or lace silk, matching exactly the tone OF
their shoes, hence tan, yellow and silver
stockings, etc, have had to be manufac-
tured expressly to agree with the shoe
makers materials. Many examples are
made entirely of plain leather or kid, with
toecaps and fronts cut out in fanciful de
vices, yet the majority appear to be goloshed
with black patent leather, which is pref
tily punched and pinked out, while the
upper coiored part is either buttoned, laced
up or jauntily tied with MORE or tinse
bows.
AS to shapes, they vary according to the
diversity of styles patronized by society
leaders. Now there is, for instance, one
suitable for piquant Vatican gown
which really sets one dreaming of the glas:
slipper of fairy tales, softly padded anC
covered with delicate dove gray silk; it il
decorated on the vamp with exquisite rose
wrought in gray silk and crystal beads

Webster Smith, assignee. respondent, vs.. d

liant. Judgment affirmed. DICKINSON, j.
A deed of assignment for the benefit of
creditors, reciting as facts the condition
which would justify an assignment under
the insolvent law of 1881, and providing for
distribution to creditors who shall file re-
leases of their debts as by law provided, -
held to be on its face a valid assignment
under that statute. Such an assignment may
be executed out of this state even by non
resident the same being filed in the county
in this state where the business of the as
signor had been carried on. Such an assign
ment being offered in evidence in
proof of the right of the assignee
TO maintain an action, the defendant objected
only on the ground that it was executed out
of the state. By thus limiting the objection
the defendant waived any objection which
might have been made on the ground that
the facts had not been shown, which, under
the statute, would authorize the making of
an assignment. Error is not TO be assigned

assignments of error considered when he has
not included them as points relied upon in

The upper body of the common coun-

An evening paper stated yesterday
that the mayor should have selected for
the new aldermen citizens residing east
and west of Wabasha street, in order to
keep within the provisions OF the char
ter. Such, however, is not the case, for
the clause authorizing the appointments
of members of the assembly by the
mayor does not stipulate where the al
dermen shall reside. The question Of
residence only applies to the election of
members of the assembly, and in that
case four must reside east of WabaSha
and Rice and one in the Sixth ward

council will meet is at present
a doubtful question, no provision
was made i'll the charter STIMULATING

TRAfNNIEN VS.. TRAMPs.
A Battle With the Migrants Will
Result in Two Deaths.

CINCINNATI, May ia Columbus,
Ind, dispatch says battle occurred
Saturday night between trainmen and
tramps. The south-bound midnight
freight reachd here at 2 o'clock. 1t was
boarded by seven tramps at Franklin,
and at Edinburgh the trainmen un der
took to put them off and fight ensued.
Car pins, knives and pistols were
used, and brakeman named Wyatt
was cut and slashed horribly with
a knife across the face and breast
and the knife blade was broken off and
LETT sticking in his arm. He was taken
to the hospital at Indianapolis. The
tramps boarded the train again and at
this station the battle was renewed,
when brakeman shot one of them, the
ball entering the front of the chin,
breaking the jaw bone in two places
and knocking out the lower left row of
teeth and lodging in his neck. He was
taken to the hospital and gave his name
as John Ebbett. English by birth, aged
twenty-six. Both men are badly hurt
and will probably die.

THE WIFE's GRIEF.
She Could Assign No Reason for
the Suicide.


The wife of the suicide was found at
her residence, 206 West Lake street,
Minneapolis, by GLOBE reporter late
last evening. She knew nothing of the
tragic fate of her husband. When the
news was communicated to her she re-
fused to believe it for some time. FL
nally she gave way, Shuddering in a sort
of spaSm as she was compelled to be-
lieve that the report was authentic.
When she became calmer she told the
reporter that she could not conceive of
any reason why her husband should
have put an end TO his life. She did
not know that he had any troubles, OF if
he had been crossed in any business
venture she had never heard of it. That
was the reason why the idea of his sui
eide seemed to her improbable. The
mans friends in the neighborhood in
which he lives are much shocked over
the occurrence. They say he could have
no apparent cause for the deed.
c. E. Coffin, of 301 West Lake street.
Minneapolis, brother of q. B. Coffin.
who killed himself to-day, was seen last
evening. He saw his brother at his Of
fee yesterday morning, when he was all
right. Deceased had a wife but no fam
lily, and resided at 406 West Lake street,
was in the real estate business
at 331 Hennepin avenue. He
was about thirty-five and was
born at Fond du Lac, Wis, where his
news of his suicide will be the death of
| his mother. He was well known in the
city, was a member of the Minneapolis
| Flambeau club. and no reason can be
assigned for his rash act, as his bust
ness was prosperous, and his family re-
| lations ali that could be desired. He
has resided in this city about nine years.
His brother left at o'clock for st. Paul
to take charge of the remains.
