CHILDReNS' PLAY GROUND
Here's Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keen the PLAY Grounds Going.

Here's a Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.
Three Fairgrounds for children were
maintained in Providence during the
summer Of 1884, one each on Smiths
Hill, Atwell's avenue, and Vinton street.
They were designed as places where chill
dren confined 10 the city during the hot
months, and especially children
living in the closely populated districts,
could go for recreation and play. Each
ground was under the charge OF kinder
gartners, whose influence was to make
the plays orderly and peaceful, and
who had at their command all tho re-
sources OF the kindergarten, to interest
children and lead them in the right way.
The Fairgrounds were kept open for six
weeks, with an average attendance OF over
ninety children each week, at total sx-
pense of s110 each.
This year il is proposed to establish
nine Fairgrounds, three for boys from
10 to 13 years of age, and SIX
foS girls and little children. Young
men will act as leaders in the boys play
grounds, maintaining order and justice In
the sports, teaching new games as well as
the best ways of playing old ones, making
short excursions with the boys to places
of historic or scenic interest, and acting
in general as elder brothers.
kipdergartens Will be In charge OF the
Fairgrounds for girls and little children,
which will be conducted on much the
same plan az last year, except that
instructions will be given to the girls
In sewing and perhaps other domestic
duties, and the experience OF last year
will make 1t possible to otherwise enlarge
and improve the work.
The grounds will be located In different
parts OF the city, near to or in the most
congested districts.
Contributions for the support OF tho
Fairgrounds are solicited by the joint COM
mittee of the Union for Practical Progress
and the Free Kindergarten Association,
and may be sent to treasurer Of the former
society, Mr.. William p. Goodwin. 20
Market Square, ana will be acknowledge
by him.

The 1913 names dropped means that one
in every 1lth man throughout the city has
been absolutely removed or stricken off,
or one property holder in every six
has removed absolutely or been sent
into another district. This brings the
work on the property list practically
down to July /, 1894, with the excep ;iou
OF 200names now being examinedifor prop
erty qualifications, irrespective OF resi-
dence.
So far as possible the board has notified
every person TO appear to show cause why
his name should not be removed and the
work thus entailedcan be imagin when
IL is remembered that in 1898 over 1900
persons changed their address and since
January /, 1894, 124 streets have been re-
mum mbered aud 20,07S new street numbers
put up. Some of the long streets run
through five or six districts, some have
numbers running from each end, some
divide districts, the odd numbers
being in one, and the even side
in another. There are 1912 streets to be
gone over. The board has been obliged
to daily examine probate and assessors
records for four and five years back and
go through great mass of deeds
and mortgage foreclosures. The new
tax list necessitates further changes.
Some people have sold or their
property has been foreclosed on since
July /, 1894. and still others will not
have paid their taxes before election
time and more changes will occur on these
accounts. 1t can be seen that with
the property list only corrected TO
last July, and the other list being much
later, the commissioners have still a mon
umental task before them.

Impressive Ceremonies atthe
Capital.
The Remains OF Secretary Gresham
Were Taken 10 Chicago.
A Guard of Honor Fit to Accompany
King.

WASHINGTON, May 20. - Before 8
o'clock, this morning, the floral tributes
to the distinguished dead began arriving,
at the old Pomeroy house, in which the
remains OF the Secretary OF State laid.
Only few pieces, however, were received
there. Most OF them were sent to the
White House, where the service was to
take place.
A battle flag from the Secretary's old
comrades OF the Tennessee, a blue field OF
immortelles with a white square In the
center containing the representation OF
pile OF bullets and the words "Forty
Rounds were among them. The casket
lay in the drawing room, looking out
upon the public square.
At $3.50 o'clock the doors were all closed
and the stricken family were left alone
with their dead. For about 30 minutes
they remained taking their last leave.
Colonel Wilson, in uniform, who had
general charge Of the funeral GRANGE
ments, was at the Arlington
giving final directions concern
ing the removal OF the re-
mains to the White House, and Captain
Hall of the 10Th Infantry, was there in
charge OF the detail of eight men, from
the 4th Artillery, who were to carry the
casket.
At 8 o'clock, the doors to the room
where the remains lay were opened and
the family retired to the rear apart
ment. Mrs. Gresham, in agony OF
grief. was almost carried from the
room, by her stalwsrt son, Otto, and was
followed by her daug hter, Mrs. Andrews,
leaning on the arm of Mr.. Andrews, Mrs.
McGrave, and Captain Fuller.
The funeral procession, preceded by a
squad OF mounted police, moved
slowly down the Lafayette place,
side by tier OF policemen, behind whom
were the thousands Of people, many Of
them with bowed and uncovered heads.
The procession swept around the great
bronze statute OF Lafayette at the
corner OF the square, and at the
broad avenue passed the drawn
up artillery and cavalry to the entrance
OF the White House grounds.
The casket, preceded by the President
men into the East Room, where the ser
vices took place,
Bishop Hurst stepped forward, hush
fell upon the company, and the clear
voice of the clergyman rang out the words
81 am the resurrection and the life" Z"
The service was remarkably simple and
free from ostentation. 1t was the full
burial service OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
The funeral party with its military
escort moved down Pennsylvania avenue
to the Baltimore & Ohio Station, from
which the sad journey TO Chicago was to
be made.
The funeral train in its appointments
was one OF unusual magnificence. 1t was
made up of five Baltimore d Ohio and
Pullman coaches.
