business-like way, and did not pretend
to be the greatest editor and publisher in
the world. He employed men in whom he
reposed the most implicit confidence. He
was modest as the most humble Of the
clerks in the model business department
of his great establishment. No one in the
Times building ever heard any one in his
employ speak harshly of him. Indeed
he was known to but few OF the editors and
reporters, and probably did not visit
their quarters in the upper part OF the
building more than twice year, and then
only to see whether he could, in some way
add to their comfort. OF course he was in
constant communication with his editors,
and the principal ones visited him daily to
consult his wishes. 1t was not often that
he made suggestions or found fault with
the matter and makeup of the paper.
Everything went like clock work in the
Office and there was rarely any turmoil or
excitement there. He was q little man
with large heart, a large brain and q
quiet tongue. He was generous man and
his acts of charity are many. Mr. Jones
and the New York Times have achieved
undying fame in their war on the Tweed
ring, which led to the crushing of that
Infamous organization. Mr.. Gilbert
Jones, Mr.. George Jones son, is the bust

There Is not town in America, how
ever badly planned at first, or ill built
afterward that may not be redeemed in a
great measure by the aid of shade trees in
the streets and a little shrubbery in the
front yards, and it is never too late or too
early to project Improvements of this
kind. Every spring and every autumn
should witness revival of associated eff
forts on the part OF aldermen, trustees Of
corporations, persons of influence and
means, and of city improvement societies
to adorn and embellish the external con-
dition Of their towns. Those least alive
TO the result as regards beauty, may be
reused as to the effects of increased value
given to the property thus improved, and
towns thus rendered attractive and desir-

The Martini Show,

The entertainment given last night at
the opera house was great success and
surprise. The writer has witnessed
both in Europe and all over the United
States entertainments similar to this but
has not seen anything superior and very

Blitz and Hermann. Senior Martini's
sleight of hand performance was excel
lent. The cabinet scene was good, spe-
cially where the lady took part; SO were
the mind reading and performance upon

peated tonight with considerable change.
