Press Comment.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The Evening Post,
this afternoon commenting on the
death of George W. Childs says: "Since
George Peabody no American has been
so widely known as a philanthropist as
this kind gentleman, whose udemise
we with real regret.
His hospitality was bonndless. His
heart seemed big enough to encompass
all humanity. He was the friend and
patron of the struggling workman in
literature and tho fine arts ma we'll rs
of the brother workman who labors mt
the bench. Although possessing no
great intellectual gifts he was one of
the most successful of American
Journalists, and whether his newspaper
can be considered great according to
radical latter day standards, certainly
under his direction it has been exem-
plary for c%leanness, honesty and fair
ness. Mr.. Childs will be woefully
missed from Il world in which he was a
rare type. We could much moro easily
nave spared greater men,"

that there is no help for them a v in

cessful experiments have shown that it
IL quite possible to materially improve
the atmosphere in such ncighborhoods
in o very simple manner-by the plant
ing Of the laurel and the sunfower.
The laurel gives off an abundance OF
ozone. while the 'souful eyed" sun.
flower is potent in destroying the ma,
larial condition. These two, if planted
on the most restricted scale in n garden

he amused himself by taking on his

promenaded the public square, to the
great delight of the inhabitants. At
about the same time there lived q
Spaniard named Pedro who could
break the strongest handouts that

folded his arms on his chest and ten

with ropes could not unfold them. Au.
