EVERYDAY TRAGEDIES.
Quiet, Ordinary Life Furnishes More TraS-
edles Than War or Pestilence.

"The tragic and the metaphysical are
in reality inseparable. Let us take
familiar illustration" writes Walter
Blackburn Harte in the New England
Magazine. THE tragedy of a Bala-
clava charge is not in the roar of artil
lery, the confused mass of wildly gal
Looping horses, laundering madly along,
unbridled or riderless, the cries and
clash of arms, the forms upright or
swaying in the saddle, the blare and
din, sooty clouds and the fire and smell
of gunpowder All this makes fine
picture; but the tragedy lies in the mind
of each individual rider, who has rislled
his divinity in this hideous insanity of
war.
TOO many writers seem to think that
tragedy consists solely of murders, acct
dents, suicide, flood, fire, slaughter, and
the rattle of musketry. These things
may be either the Accomplishments, or
the causes of tragedy, it is true, but the
tragedy itself is invariably in the minds
of the actors or onlookers. And there
are the tragedies of quiet, ordinary life.
There is the tragedy of noble purposes
defeated. Tragedies are taking place
every day between actors who do not
move out of their chairs Every doctors
Office, every lawyers sanctum, every
court of law-every house in large
city has been at some time the scene of
a tragedy. All houses wherein men
have lived and died are haunted houses
"a man may live life filed with
tragedy and never go to the wars or get
shipwrecked; indeed, he may never
leave his study, his house, or his garden
All this is, of course, obvious but one
would not imagine it to be so from a
constant reading of the criticisms on
the fiction which goes behind actions
and discovers souls"

IN MEMORY OF a CHILD.
Its Parents Commemorate It's Death by
an Annual Punch and Judy show.

us i"rehts commemorate Its Death by
an Annual Punch and Judy Show.
The parents of child that died some
few years back in the Great Ormond
Street Hospital for Children have hit
upon quaint and in many respects adj
mirable method of perpetuating his
memory. On each anniversary of the
child's death a performance of Punch
and Judy takes place in every ward in
the hospital.
This great festival - for, remarks
London Truth, need not say that it is
great festival to everybody concerned
has been duly celebrated again. The
only blot upon it was that one poor lit
tie fellow had to be taken away Just
before the performance commenced to
undergo an operation; but it will be a
satisfaction to every reader to hear that
he was more than consoled by subse-
quently having Toby brought to his
bed by kind nurse for a private inter-
view, and, thus fortified under his
troubles, the little patient progressed
most favorably.
People who lose children are often
DESTROYS of commemorating the little
lives in some way, and too often their
efforts in that direction are not over
happy. Here is a hint for guidance in
all such cases. 1t may be varied almost
indefinitely

One Make Of Pump Specified,
but Bidders Ignore the
Proposition.
A Vigorous Kick Registered,
and the Contract Is Held
in Allegiance.
PeelepS and Fly Bobs Badly
Bothered by the Work
Of Thieves.

Through little inadvertently on the
part of the superintendent of parks, the
park board found itself at the meeting
last evening confronted by a rather
peculiar complication. The superln-
tendent made draft of the plans and
specifications upon which the propoS-
ais were advertised for for putting in
the proposed steam pumping plant at
L Ike Como. In collecting infOrma-
ton upon which to base his plans, ETC.,
the superintendent visited the West
side pumping station and followed out
in detail the plant there. This covered
the Blake pump only, aud gave COM
plete monopoly to that machine. The
result was all the other pumps were
driven out of the competition, and tits
averred by reliable and practical pump
men that there are really many pumps
that rank on even terms with the Blake.
Indeed, William Rodger, one of the
bidders, empnatically stated that he
would put in another style that would
perform the work with equal facility
and would show superior construction.
The bids were opened by the board,
and this led to a somewhat drastic col
hsou between the pump men who were
present. They openly alleged that they
had not been given fair play by the
agents of the Blake pump; or, in other
words, that discrimination had been
shown certain competitors as against
other bidders The result was the bids
were laid over and referred to the city
engineer for inspection.
The bids, or several of them. included
proposals for putting in other than the
specified Blake pump, and it was the
expressed opinion OF Mr.. Horton that
the board should reject all bids and re-
advertise for proposals for all standard
pumps. The capacity is to be 1,000,0O0
gallons per day, and the purpose is to
maintain the water of the lake at its
present stage. The bids read as fol-

PhaIen Park Area Settled.

Commissioner Aberle introduced the
resolution that has been a matter of
some discussion for a month or so, to
reduce the size of Phalen park to
ninety-siX acres by resembling the
action acquiring 176 acres for the park.
The resolution of Feb. 20 was rescinded
by this resolution, and the eastern pOr-
ton of the park was reacquired.
The superintendent was directed to
request the state fish commission to
stock Lake Como with fish, and to eX
pend sis in preparing representation
of the parks for the Hill celebration.
The superintendent explained that he
had already made plans for the display,
and his purpose is to place miniature
park 10X19 feet in the grand pageant.
The question Of drafting rules and reg
ulations to be posted III the parks was
referred to Mr.. Horton, and the request
of the board of aldermen to furnish that
body with list of all the employees of
the park commission, together with the
residences of the same, was laid on the
table.
