SIDNEY J. COWEN OUT
He Is No Longer Assistant Cor

His Resignation.
Due to an Error in tho Corlenrs
Park Report.

Sidney J .Cowon, who for some years
has been Assistant Corporation Counsel,
retired from the service of the city on
April !. and has resumed the practice of
law. 1t seems that an effort has been
made to keep the fact OF Governs re-
tir"mcnt secret.
According to a story which reached
"rhe Evening World" to-day MIR.
Governs resignation was requested by
Corporation Counsel Clark early in
March, as n result Of some fault in the
report OF the Corlears Hook Park Com
mission.
When the report OF the Commission
came up before Justice Patterson it was
found that while in the main correct as
to the subject matter, "A mistake had

They were sitting in the parlor of o

was dragging somewhat. They had ex-
hausted all the available social topics,
had taken dip into literature by criti-
cising somo Of the latest novels, had dis
cussed the summer resorts and the pros
poets for good fall season, talked a bit
Rbout the theaters, and there did not
Eeem to be much left.
After an embarrassing pause of five
minutes the girl said: 1--WE have got
the funniest cook. She says the most

"Yes?" put in the young man inter-
estedly.
Eyes, she is q crank about sickness.
Every day she has some new sickness.
As matter Of fact, she is great bux-

be, but she imagines she has one foot in

"Must keep her busy finding symp-
toms, said the young man.
Indeed it does, and some of her COM
plants are very laughable. Why, the
other day she came in and told me in
perfect seriousness that her bones were

The young man looked puzzled. He
laughed little, though, and said:
"What a remarkable complaint don't

woman's face took ON panied express

the conversation.
Half an hour later the young man
paused on his way to his room and hunt
ed up dictionary. He turned nervous

ger down the column until he came to

"Young gentleman, this is neither

the professor.
II beg your pardon, sir, but that is
exactly what my father thought and
said when he found it necessary to leave
the stock of coal for few nights in the
open air, and 1t was discovered that it
had diminished to the alarming extent
Of over 70 per cent. He then consulted
me, as a student Of chemistry, as to
what could be done to stay such loss,
and l suggested that savage dog should
be procured and kept chained near the

then our Goals have not lost 80 much as

How to Insure Peaceful and Refreshing
Slumber and n Sweet Mouth.
A warm bath, light lunch and n
clean mouth before retiring are good
things to take. They promote sleep and
"clean" tongue in the morning. What
this lunch should be the consumer must
decide. The juice of a couple Of oranges,
half grape fruit, a cup of tea with
dry toast, q sandwich and glass Of ale,
cup of hot bouillon, biscuit and glass
of sherry, crackers with milk and viohy,
or bowl of bread and milk is the
choice Of as many different people, all
healthy and handsome.
The best thing in the morning after
cold plunge or sponge bath is a cup Of
hot tea or coffee with q little lemon
juice The earlier this draft is taken
the better. It should precede the break
fast by at least half an hour. This is
prime for the alimentary canal. 1t is
comfort to the stomach, and puts the
digestive organs in order. A cup Of hot
milk is also prescribed, and even hot
water the first thing in the morning is
not bad. For anything but the abusive
cup Of cold water the poor stomach will
be grateful. If an appetite for breakfast
is wanted, and the time permits, take o
walk to the corner, alone, inhaling and
forcibly exhaling the air through the
nostrils. No $40 cure in therapeutics
can compare with this.-New York
