AvenginE Grievances of His Son
Paul, who Resigned from Park
Board Because Mr. strauss
wouldn't Let Him Have
His Own Way.
From Yesterdays world)

(From Yesterdays world)
For two or three days the weight Of
sentiment had been in favor of Nathan
Straus for Mayor. But 1t was not with
out opposition, and the greatest opposi-
ton came from Charles A. Dana, the
father of ex-Park Commissioner Paul
Dana. Mr.. Danas troubles as a Park
Commissioner are fresh in the public
mind. Mr. Straus and he were opposed
on most questions concerning the public
parks, and their quarrel became bitter
and personal. 1t was said at Tammany
Hall last night that the elder Dana
waited upon Mayor Gilroy and strongly
urged that Mr.. Straus be not nominated.
1t was said that Mr.. Dana urged his
many services to Tammany Hall for
which he had asked no favors, and had
had none except the appointment of his
son to the unsalaried office of Park Com
missioner. 1t was also said that Mr..
Dana intimated that he would not sup

young lady went TO a certain place In this

an address, where any communication that might

by accident discovered the deception In name and
address made quite fuss about 1t, declaring the
young could not continue taking lessons
and threatening to have her arrested. The
young lady thereupon demanded the money due
her out of the 81, having received but one lesson,
but was refused and more threats followed. Not
being sure Of her ground she concluded to leave
