PARK A WAYS.

The Park Board does not seem to be
able to do any business connected with
the Department in a straightforward
manner. Yesterday there was a wran-
gle over the bids for the work OF equip
ping the new wing OF the Museum OF
Natural History. Commissioner Straus
did not want to act at once on the
bids. III we ware the contract the
newspapers will pound u.s." he said, and
he added. in mournful tones; They
pound us at every opportunity"
who cares for their poundings7 /
DON'T exclaimed President Clausen.
The wall of the Commissioners was
due to the fact hat before the bids
were opened protests were made by
some of the best firms In the city, who
alleged that there was some crooked
work about the bids,
The outcome of the row was that there
were only two bidders. one OF these
aid that his firm had experienced nc
trouble in getting all the Information
1t wanted. II have no doubt abou'
that" remarked one of the shut-out
bidders. ~ understand that a membei
OF your firm was nee connected with
the Museum"
The other bidder Is said to have don,
work for the Department before.
If the newspapers do right they will
not cease pounding the Park Depart
ment until 1t changes its methods or tn,
Mayor changes the Commissioners.

The Husband That Drinks.

To the Editor:
I send the following advice TO soms Of your
young lady readers: Girls, whatever else you may
do, do not marry q drunkard. No matter how
deeply In love you may fancy yourselves to be.
do not marry a man who drinks intoxicating
liquor. 1t Ia better to be an old maid. and miss
the desired Mrs" from your tombstone. 1t Is
better to go on through life single and alone, to
keep q cat. and make aprons for the heather
children than to be a drunkard's wife. Young
men addicted to taking a glass now and then will
doubtless laugh at you and me II you call their
habit a vice, or hint that II Is in any wise dan
gerous. They assure you In a lordly way that
they know what they are about!' Haven't they
control enough over themselves to take q social
glass, now and then. and stop there7' why.
you talk as though we were common drunk
ards!" And SO they are liable to become. There
is no safety In playing with poison. Oh. young
girls. fair and pure and loving, think OF what
lies before you. Think OF the moral contamins-
ton. the miserable degradation which hang
around the drunkard, and fcrswear the young
man who drinksi PHILIP A. HAGEL.

SHE WOULDN'T GIVE HIM UP.
Miss House, Hciress, Has Her NOble-
man, Despite Objections.

By Associated Press.)
PITTSBURG, June 2l.-A sensational
marriage hat is causing considerable
talk here is that of Henry Deckert de la
Meillaie, n French professor Of Ian
guages. and Miss Blanche Augusta
House, an heiress. The ceremony was
performed in the rectory of Calvary
Episcopal Church last night. The
brides family refused to attend or have
anything to 10 with It.
The bride was the daughter of the late
Edward House, who died a few months
ago. He was President OF the Freehold
Bank. and lett his daughter $50, 900, She
had been a student at the Frenchman's
school. and fell In love with her teacher:
Around the latter chung the halo of
royalty. Thinking he was a spurious
nobleman,, the girls parents refused to
have anything to do with him, n tried
to make her give him UP. She refused
after he had assured her he was OF
royal birth. He claims to ave been a
lieutenant In the French army, and was
compelled to cave France to avoid dis
grace over his failure to pay 5000 francs
lost at the gaming tables.
The bride is a niece OF United States
Senator j. Donald Cameron.

Waste of Saliva.

Girls and boys who chew gum, tooth
picks, rubber and other tenacious SUBJ
stances waste the saliva needed in the
digestion of the food. Without this val
liable gastric juice starchy and gluten
foods like potatoes, beans, cereals, peas
rice, &C.. would not be ready for diges-
ton. Tobacco and all drinks containing
alcohol increase the action of the salivary
glands and, by causing an excessive flow,
1t becomes too thin to dissolve the dry
foods. Drinking ice cold water at meals
dulls the mouth and diminishes the
saliva, causing, often, indigestion or

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
I wish to make q remark concerning the injus-
tice the travelling public is forced to put UP with
because Of the system surface and Elevated rail-
roads are run on In New York and Brooklyn. In
the evening. when tranio is heavy. I rarely
chance to get a seat in a car. and. when for
tunate enough to do so. before I 90 q block In
variably a lady boards the car and hangs appeal
ingly opposite me on the strap. OF course, my
sallantry overcomes me, and l condescend to hana
there while she enjoys my seat. I an not an
Englishman, but I approve OF the way street carr
are run In the large cities OF England. Every
street car run in London is registered to carry sc
many passengers. and should a conductor allow
one more than the registered number to ride In
his car he is prosecuted by the city and pun
ished according to law. Should Brooklyn and New
York railway companies be compelled To accom-
modete every passenger they carry with a seat,
am sure the travelling public would hnd such ts
their advantage. PETE CALLAN, Brooklyn.
