BrooIxIyn's Roomy Park.

Brooklyn is becoming quite town
for parks, and the taxpayers have never
been known in recent years to object to
having their money spent for such pur-
poses. There was great outcry thirty
five years ago, when the laying out Of
Prospect park was suggested, but no
body now worries because the project
was carried through. The city made q
very profitable bargain in buying the
SIG is acres contained in that park and
paying only So, 91S, 370.70 for them. Since
then the city has expended $5,348, S6O.35
on construction account, making this
one park represent an expenditure of
Sc, PCS, 231 .05, but if it was put on the
market tomorrow it would easily sell for
twice that amount.
This is the biggest breathing spot in
the city. It contains 40 acres of wood
land, n acres of lakes, 70 acres of
meadow land and 259 1-6 acres of plan
tations. To accommodate owners of
horses there are 8 miles of drives and
3 10 miles of bride roads, while the
most enthusiastic pedestrian ought to
! be satisfied with his - miles of walks.
In addition the national guard and the
baseball players are provided with q
| plot of level greensward known as the
parade grounds, and covering an area Of
| 10 acres.-New York Times.

Goodness In a Mixed College.

There is a GOODNESS between the boys
and the girls of the Stanford university.
1t all came about from a question of pro-
priety. The boys gave ball in their
dormitory hall on Monday night, TO
which they invited all the girl students.
as well as the professors. Elaborate
preparations were made, and the young
men anticipated an evening of enjoy
ment. They hired band, and had the
dormitory beautifully decorated.
One or two Of the more modest and re-
firing of the maidens in the girls dormi-
tory were shocked at the avowed inten-
ton of some of the girls to attend the
ball, and called a meeting of the girls, at
which there was long discussion Of the
affair
Many of the fair students said they
could see no harm in going to the ball as
long as the professors were willing, but
the more prudish damsels read strong
lecture on the evils of such doings, and,
on vote, there was majority in favor
of not attending the ball. So none OF
them went.
The boys waited long for the coming
of the fair ones, but they came not. Al
first the collegians were very angry.
Then they took the dancing floor them
selves and made stag party of it
They say, however, that for future fes
tivities they will send no invitations t
the girl students. This suits the ultra
modest among the latter, but the sociablt
girls feel crushed.-San Francisco

uuire what amount would be necessary
to support these young men until Jam
uary Ist and then TO bring them home.
One had been i'm Boston five years and
the other in London ten, which was
beyond all reason. The young man
in London had got married three or
four years ago.
Noble Baldwin did not favor the re-
call of the young men. Makalua, the
one in London, had been studying
medicine and had just graduated, and
he ought to have experience in a
medical hospital. He was an intelli-
gent young man.
Rep. K. w. Wilcox said there was
no use in making any reference to
committee. The proposition TO recall
these young men showed a jealousy OF
native Hawaiians, and men who made
such propositions were black-hearted,
etc.
Noble ThurstOn said the member
from Waialua had better take drink
of ice water and cool off. He had
said nothing which justified such re-
marks. He would be glad TO see more
young Hawaiians study abroad, but
they should pay for themselves, and
not ask the taxpayers to do 1t for
them. The only education which the
speaker had got abroad was one year
and a half, and he had paid every
dollar for it himself. There were
young men here beginning to show
the down on the lip who were hardly
| born when this young man went away.
| Why spend half lifetime educating
| him? Let someone else have a
| chance.
Rep. Smith said the discussion
| showed the wisdom of a reference to
! the Minister. over 100000 had been
| appropriated for the education of Ha-
waiian youths abroad, and there was
not much to show for it.
Rep. Il. w. WilioX said the member
from Lihue and the Noble from Maui
would make a good team. 1t did not
follow because 100000 had been
appropriated that it had all been
spent. There was no use in half edu-
eating the people.
The item was referred to the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs.

MR.. EDISON

in designing the Mimeo-
graph took as his principle, the stylus,
the writing implement of man since the
art was first invented. 1t is the natural
instrument by which the hand can trace
characters. This is one of the reasons
why this machine has achieved such
popularity.
The pen or stylus gides easily
over tie prepared stencil paper
with Just enough friction to make
writing identical to that done with
hard lead pencil.
1t is used by jobbers sending out price
lists; retail stores use it sending circulars
direct to their customers; secretaries, in
printing notices OF meeting, programmes,
etc.. hotels, printing bills OF fare and
printing bill and letter beads;
musics, sketching, maps in oolors,
and in fact anything that
lead pencil can do, this machine does.
1t is simple. clearly and strong. Prints
on any kind of paper. Reproduces
copies of type writer work that are exact

Story That Gresham Will Stump for the
Peoples Party.
ST. Louts, Aug. 11.-There is great
exultstion at the Peoples party head
quarters today over the receipt OF tele-
gram and letter from the chairman of
the Indiana state committee, alleging
that Walter @. Gresham has promised
to take the stump this fall in the inter
ests of the Peoples party. Chairman
Taubeneck was asked to give out the
letter, but refused to do 20.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 11.-Henry Vim
cent, editor OF the Mont -Conformist,
speaking of the telegram from St. Louis,
stating that Judge Gresham would take
the stump in the interest of the Peo-
ple's party, said he was not surprised,
as last July, Judge Gresham gave the
members of the committee which
waited upon him, to induce him to ac-
cept the nomination, assurances that
he would make several speeches before
the campaign closed. Vincent believes
Judge Gresham will make $4,000 votes
for the Peoples party in Indiana. The
Republicans profess not to believe the
dispatch, and point to the fact that
Judge Gresham, when right in line with
the Republican party. refused to make
speeches, on the ground that the
course would be unbecoming q man on
the federal bench.
BosToN, Aug. 11,---Careful inquiry at
the botels here shows that Gresham
has gone to Cape Cod. and will not re-
turn till the last OF the month.
