TWO MILLIONS FOR PARKS.
Paris Identifying Itself for the Universal
Exposition of 1900.

Great projects for the general improve
ment and establishment of Paris, in view
of the next universal exhibition have been
drawn up by NJ. Travernier, the civil en-
gineer who has charge of the woods and
trees under the conservancy of the city.
The first place which NJ. Travernier in
tends to transform effectively is the Mont
martre hill, on which the new Basilica
stands. He has already commenced oper-
ations near the big church, but he will need
more funds in order to carry his plans
through and he is accordingly awaiting
the authorization and assistance of the
municipal council. Sixty thousand dollars
has been expended upon the Identification
of the heights, but further sum of $780,
600 is needed for the realization of NJ.
TrGvernier's scheme.
He wants to embellish the Martyrs
hllI'' something after the fashion of the
really picturesque Buttes Chaumont, a
place which gives the hard working people
~ Ballevlle cheap illusion of rusticity.
To lnany of the dwellers in these dingy
districts the Chaumont hills, green slopes,
groves and grottoes are as Switzerland
or me Tyrol to their weather. fellow cit
liens.
~ Travernier wants to provide a some
Wu#l similar place, on smaller lines, OF
course, for the inhabitants of Montmartre
and his rural enclosure on the hill around
the church would be about half the size of
the Pare Monceau.
After Montmartre, NJ. Tavernier intends
to turn his attention to the woods of Bou-
logne and Vincennes, first beginning with
the lakes in these places, which require
thorough cleansing. In both woods the
walks or drives are to be planted with adj
ditional trees, and "Bagatelle," in the
Bots de Boulogne, where Sir Richard Wal
lace lived, is to be changed from a compar-
alive desert into smiling pleasance,
dotted with lawns, lakes and leafy glades.
Finally, the custodian of the metropol-
tan plantation proposes to illuminate the
Bots de Boulogne, and also that of Vim
cennes, by electricity. The lofty lamps
amid the frontage will be viewed with
sorrow by those who like to imagine them
selves in far away forests when treading
the wooded labyrinths at either end of
Paris. The lights at night however, will
give picturesque and Partisan aspect to
the woods, and will at the same time
+righten away the bad characters who
lrowl among the trees in fine weather.
Two million dollars. will it is estimated,
e necessary for the completion of NJ.
Iavernier's plans, the expenses being
spread over period of five or six years.

He is represented in the case by Hon.

Mr.. Scion Costly was the first witness

hours before the shooting, but I'm not
certain. l think they had a fuss over the
division of the money. The gambling room

"The gambling room used by Mr..

"Yes, sir; one man was in the street not
far from the railroad and one was in the
door of the building. Ben Langford and
Grizzard was talking in the street, and 1
was not expecting any difficulty as 1 saw

ANOTHER GOOD DONATION.
HON. ALEXANDER BEATON PRE-
SCENTS HIS POLISHED MIN
ERALS TO THE UNIVERSITY.
1T is A WONDERFUL AND VALU-
ABLE COLLECTION.
Rumors That the International Railroad
Has Been Systematically Skinned
Out of Thousands of Dollars by
Paying Fictitious Laborers.

1t may not generally be known that q
few weeks since the University of Texas
came into the possession Of the valuable
and unique cabinet of minerals collected
by the Hon. Alexander Belton of Corsi-
cana, on his home place, known as Seem
HILL" situated about mile south of the
town. Mr.. Beaton has long been a close
student of nature and being thoroughly
impressed with the remarkable beauty
and purity of the drift minerals found in
the fields near his home, he took the pains
to have many of the best, several hun
dreds in fact, dressed by the expert lapi-
daries of Colorado Springs, Colorado
The results are truly wonderful, bringing
out in marked degree the hidden beauty
which less acute observers have for years
passed by. Many of tnesa stones are
suitable for various settings and doubt
lessy, under the fostering care of a COM
petent expert, quite an industry could be
built up along this line in Texas. Mr.
Beaton is strongly imbued with this idea.
The collection will soon be ready for pub
lie display at the Univars ty ami visitors
should bear it in mind in making their
rounds.

body. There is one bullet impression in

altogether. Two of them are on a line

"When you went to Mr.. Reeves after
the table was kicked over, did he not
say to you: "What's the matter with
Benz"
"Yes sir, and he said 4 asked Ben what
was the NATTER and he explained that
perhaps Ben seeing the 500 bill on the
table must have thought he, Reeves,
didn't divide up right. I asked Reeves for
the 500 bill, saying to him you are eX-
cited and may get on a spree and spend
it tonight. Ben Langford was not there
