A WIDE STREET NEEDED.
Citizens Appear TO Favor the WIDEN
ing of Charles and Mill streets.

ing of Charles and Mill Streets.
The citizens of the North End who are
interested in the projected widening of
Charles and Mill streets appeared before
the joint committee on nlgh-
ways at the Municipal Court
room at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The members of the committee hau Two
plans in their possession. one PROVIDED
FOR an So foot street from Mill 10 stevens
street, the land to be taken from the
easterly side of the highway. Inc other
plan proposed a 60-foot street, the lana 10
be taken from both sides Of the road. While
there were differences OF opinion in re-
gard to the amount OF money 10 oe
saved by adoption OF the secono plan,
il was admitted that il would reach
a large sum. The citizens, however,
were in favor OF doing the work upon the
more expensive basis and were emphatlc
in their opinions that IL ought TO be done
under the highway act, rather than unaef
the betterment act.
Robert sherman, William Ames,
Charles Warren Lippitt, Stlili.ian
White, Alderman Mccarthy, Bernard
McGulnness and Others were among
those who spoke in favor OF the aoop-
ton of the plan TO provide an
sO-foot street with land taken from
William Harris and Commiss oner Smih
appeared TO favor the second plan pre-
sented.
Mr.. Lippitt had made a particularly
close study OF the question and while the
remarks ofthe other taxpayers showed that
they were anxious TO have the street
widened upon the most hberai |
basis. Mr.. Lippitt presented many
arguments that appealed TO those
present as unanswerable. At the conelu-
sion of his remarks vote was taken ana
the citizens were unanimously in favor OF
the So foot street.
During the hearing Alderman Little
exhibited a plan from the Advance Club
that differed somewhat from either OF
those already submitted. No action was
taken in regard 10 H., however, and
the hearing was closed.

The food purveyors made most

the sight, but hard and tasteless), to

shapes and tastes were familiar to me,

CHRISTMAS IN INDIA.
A Lazy Picnic Amid the Tropical Sur
roundIngs Of Calcutta

Tho sun shines gloriously overhead,
The sky is pale, cloudless blue, and
the foliage around us shows every shade
and tint from brown to scarlet, from the
palest to the deepest green. We sannier
along the grass under the trees beside
the avenue and find a quiet spot, with
a pool Of clear water haunted by SWANS
before us. The ground Is earpcted with
soft grass ana shaded with trees On
one side, 800 yards away, is bank Of
shrubs, with the most gorgeous variety
of coloring, from mauYe and lilac to
crimson red; on the other three, cool,
restful green leaves. On such Christ
mas morning it is good to be alive.
Let rs think of it as we shiver over
our fires in England We spread cur
rugs and coats on the ground and lie
down and smoke lazily. Presently the
khidmutPars arrive with hampers. We
do not move, far in India we have not
that irrational and idiotic notion that
a picnic Is no picnic unless you wait
upon yoursel Ives, lay your own lunch
and burn your own fingers over yonr
kettle. The lunch IS admirable from
the solids 10 tho fruit. from the drinks
to the ice Nothing has been forgotten,
for once Khidmutgar has been taught
thing he may be relied upon to do il
again with absolute eXactitude on a
similar occasion till the crack Of doom
unless he is idiotic.
A picnic is complete rest with
nothing to do save to lie still and en-
joy. No one even talks unless the spirit
moves him For the most part we sit
quiet, drinking in the beauty Of the
scene. The servants pass silently TO and
fro, handing dishes, which are accept
ed or rejected as silently. 1t is waste
of energy to speak The cool breeze fans
us gently. There are no mosquitoes All
is peace. Last Of all come the coffee
and the cigars. Saturday Review.
