AN ATTRACTIVE AND BEAUTIFUL SUMMER
 RESIDENCE.
 Beachcroft, the Summer residence of MT and Mrs F. W. Rennell, is situated on Waldemere avenue, facing Seaside park and commanding beautiful and unobstrueted view of the waters of Long Island Sound. Beachcroft is only occu- pied by the owners during the Summer months. They prefer to spend the Win ter months in the New York residence. F. w. Rennell is wealthy New York broker, a member of the stock exchange. Mrs Rennell is a granddaughter of the late Hon F. T. Barnum When his estate is settled, she will inherit large fortune.
 During the past Winter, Beachcroft has been rebuilt and re-modelled. so that it now ranks as one of the finest on the Sound. Once neat square house, it now is an imposing and beautiful home, such as any one might envy. On the southwest corner, tower has been added, reaching far above the main roof, with six windows opening from each of the three floors. This is surmounted by a weather vane with the letter R cut in- to it. On the southeast corner has been added a large square bay window. The front and gable has been enlarged, raised and shingled with fancy shingles and has q large plate glass two-light; the windows have been removed and in their place are French plate two-

 Monday afternoon, we went out to Kreutzberg and had very fair view of the city, much better than when we went before.
 Wednesday evening, we went to the opera; all those in the parquet and first balcony were in evening dress. There were only five of the court present; neither the kaiser nor kaiserine. The two young ladies were in full dress, cut sim liar to those worn when you were girl, I should judge. The opera, ''Oberon King of the Elos,'' was good. The scen- cry was indeed magnificent and the mus ic fine. Yesterday, I took walk in the Thier Garton to see the skaters. The band was playing, flags flying and all looked very happy.
 Saturday evening, l again attended the opera. It was Wagner's ''Meistersinger." It is immensely long, but good. It is his only comic effort. The many characters took their parts we'll and, out of all the fun, some grand music was given. There was crowd of Americans around us and one hears more English than German in that part of the house; and always have pleasant time during intermission.
 Our plans for our trip are gradually taking shape and it looks now as though Good Friday would be spent in Venice and Easter in Florence, two weeks in Rome and several days each at Pisa, Mi Ian, Genoa and several other places, reaching Zurich about May l5.

 We'll, I suppose you had terrible ac- count of the riots here on Thursday. We here at the West End knew nothing about it. I guess it was quite time. The police were certainly taken by sur prise. Dr D., in going to clinics, had to pass through the mob and had consider able trouble. A friend of his, going to the same place, was arrested as a pro- moter, but was soon set at liberty. It was lively near the schloss. l am busy with my music and German and shall spend as much time as possible in the museum studying, to fit myself for bet ter understanding and enjoyment of the wonders in art which it will, trust, be my privilege to see. If 1 can only bring home to you some idea of it all, l shall be very glad.

Marcus Babbitt has an antique curios- ity, the warrant issued to his father, Is- aac Babbitt, to collect the tax levy of 1908, the total amount of the tax being Sl21 O5. Isaac Babbitt was collector in 1908, Wait Northrop treasurer, Liverus Hawley justice of the peace. The pen- alty of non payment of the tax was seiz- ure and sale of goods or estate, or, fail- ing these, to lodge the body of the de- lInquent in the s'goal" at Danbury. The amount of the town tax S3 years ago and to-day suggests how much more plenty money Is to-day and how much more extravagant we are in it's use, es- pecially town wise.

 When we were having frequent fires, evidently of incendiary origin, the city offered $200 reward for the arrest and conviction of the incendiary. Since the arrest of the O'Connor boy for firing Sun derland's barn, two or more claimants have shown up for the reward. Should one prove his claim indisputably as the party arresting him, it might be doubtful whether he would get the reward. If compelled to pay it on technicality, the city would be out that much and the real incendiary would go scott free, for it is not probable that the boy is guilty of all that mischief, or any of it. The city would suffer injustice.

Joseph Harris, writing on the use of salt and plaster, says: "Hundreds of ex- periments might be cited where salt has proved beneficial. Why it is sometimes valuable and oftenttimes not, we do not know. We do not understand its action. We are nearly as ignorant in regard to the action of plaster. For some years, we have supposed that plaster checked the evaporation of water through the leaves of the plants and thus lessened the injurious effects of drought. Some recent experiments would indicate that plaster was favorable to the growth of the bacillus or nitrate yeast that con- verts organic nitrogen and ammonia into nitrates and thus rendered the nitrogen immediately available for the growth of our cultivated crops. Plaster develops the plant food from the store of organic matter in the Hand makes clover and corn grow more luxuriantly.

THE CITY HOSPITAL.
A NOBLE INSTITUTION. AND A
MONUMENT TO wACOCHARITY
The management COmplimented
for the Excellent Way in which
the Sufferers are Cared for.

To the News:
l beg space in your valuable paper
to express my views and sentiments
regarding an institution that is an
honor and credit to the charitable citi
zens of Waco. 1 allude to the city
hospital. Since the days when the
man journed from Jerusalem to Jerico
and had the misfortune of being rob.
bed, beaten and left to the mercy of
the passers by, such incidents have
occurred. An abundant high priests
and levitcs have been reared up, since
that incident who have permitted the
cries of the unfortunate to go unheeded
but thank God there has alsu been
many Good Samaritans who have dis
played their charity and kindness.
rhe inn to which that manned and
maltreated citizen was carried and
cared for was hospital to him. Good
Samaritan of Waco, some of their
abundance-others, like the poor wild
ow, gave all she had 'even to her
living" have contributed to the erec-
ton of an institution that will ever
evidence their charity. A magnificent
building, composed of ten rooms, well
furnished and presided over by Mr..
and Mrs. Mabry, whose heart and
hand unite to relieve the poor unfor-
tunates. Six inmates, afflicted with
divers diseases, two of whom will soon
be in that house not made with hands
eternal and in the heavens, occupy
beds furnished with nice, clean, white
bedclothes, BY the bed SIDE of one in
mate, whose appearance indicated the
presence of that fell destroyer, con-
sumption, sat a pleasant face woman,
with her tiny hands busying herself,
like Martha and Mary OF old, trying
to make the "bitter sweet" The
closest attention is given the sick
rooms, we'll ventilated aud regulated,
and all things done to add to the COM
fort of the inmates. Two much praise
cannot be lavished upon those who
was instrumental in this grand work
and those who contributed thereto
will, when time shall be no more, oc.
cupy that house "whose maker and
builder IS God. FAKES
