PARK GUARD's TACTICS.
He Draws Snug Salary from the City
and Works for the Republican Party at
the Same Time.

He Draws Snug Salary from the City
and Works for the Republican Party at
the Same Time.
II is altogether probable that the
offensive partisanship" of Thomas
Naudain, the colored guard who watches
the trees and park benches at Eighth
street park, for which he receives the
handsome remuneration of $69.34 a
month from City Council, will get him
in trouble before long, unless he mends
his ways and decides to keep out of
| politics, while at work for the city at
| least.
Naudain was appointed by the pres
ent City Council and receives the same
salary as the average policeman, al
though his duties are almost mythical.
There are a number of trees, some
benches and band stand in the park,
but it is doubtful if any one would
think of carrying them away, especially
the trees. just what the duties Of the
park guard are no one seems to know and
people who live opposite the park de-
clare that very seldom is it that Nau-
dain is seen at his post. In fact, some
of the residents of the neighborhood
were surprised when they were in
formed that Nludaln was paid $G3.34 a
month for alleged duties at the park.
They did not know that there was such
an officer as Naudain, so seldom is he
seen in the neighborhood. AT the office
of the city treasurer the books show
that Naudain has been receiving his
salary regularly.
Naudain has been seen making a
house to house canvass among the col
ored colony in the Seventh ward, where
he resides, and has been actively en-
gagged in doing partisan work for the
Republican party, while his duties de-
mand his attendance at the park. A
policeman declares that he has seen
Naudain blocking the ward on several
occasions.
From December 25th to December
Both Naudain drove wagon in which
colored residents were hauled to the tax
office, at the court house, to pay their
poll-taxes. 1t is also charged that he
has been making complete canvass of
the colored element Of the seventh
ward, in order to have every colored
citizen qualified to vote at the next cleo
ton.

noon, at the residence of her parents,
No. 222 Parrish street, of shock con-
sequent upon surgical operation. The
little one was afflicted with tumor at
the base of the brain, which had grown
so large SIS to make an attempt at removal
absolutely necessary, and on Monday
afternoon the operation was performed
by Drs. j. w. Crumbaugh and II. f.
Pierson. The humorous growth, how
ever, had progressed more extensively
than external appearances indicated,
and masses of tightly packed roots had
been forced under the brain and around
the glands, and were beginning to cause
u pressure upon the windpipe. Death
speedily ensued from the shock of the
operation.
