Comrades in Grief.

Frank Fairfield sat in an office that
was situated in one of the large thor
ougnfareS within couple of hundred
yards of the Bank Of England.
He was only Il junior partner in the
well known firm of engineers to which
he belonged. and he had obtained this
position some two years before our
story opens. partly by his own great
talent and industry, but principally
through Lord Lilburne's generosity.
To all intents and purposes Frank
Fairfield was Il working partner In the
firm. He had been to South America,
to Russia and to India. experimenting
the construction of railways and
bridges: and though he had now been
in England some three or four months,
he knew that he might be required To
start off again at any time with but
scant notice.
The young engineer is only eight and
twenty. but he looks much older. for.
since he has returned from his last
journey abroad. his thick wavy hair
has become perfectly white.
As may readily be supposed the
change in his appearance is so start

fail to recognize him. and the ques-

asked him as To the cause of this sud

SOMETHING ABOUT OUR PARKS.
itten for the Sunday LIGHT.

Written for the Sunday LIGHT. -.
The condition of,- our parks
should be looked after by the city
authorities. 1t Is charged that the
trees in Washington square have
died out because they were not
taken care of; that other squares
are not looked after; that the city
hot house has been allowed to &c
to ruin: that the present park
superin tendent is following the ex.
ample of his predecessor by selling
tho city plants and trees at a great
err cost than other nursery men
would furnish them for.
The committee on parks can't
be expected to look personally af-
ter the parks, but there should be
superintendent who would de-
vote his whole time to the business.
No doubt the present superinten-
dent thinks it all right to be en-
gagged in the business of supplying
plants to the city, because his pre-.
decessor did so; but it is all wrong.
AS long as the city has no nursery
or hot house the business of sup
plying the city with plants should
be let out to nurserymen who are
not city officials. The former park
superintendent was bank cashier ;
the present one carries on profit
able business as house painter
Would it not be more sensible to
employ competent landscape
gardener, a practical floriculturist
to take charge OF the parks and
squares and devote his whole time
to their care and improvement?

to these things. CRoCUs.

THEY OBJECT.
Residents of Dignowity Hill Will
Fight the New Cemeterv

The residents of Dignowitv hill
have registered q kick against a
new cemetery to be opened on
Dawson street. The cemetery ia a
private enterprise with l.. Orynski
at Its head. The company PROPOSES
to clear out several acres of ground
on Dawson street and New Braun
fels avenue, on the southeastern
edge OF Dignwity hill, for the pur-
puse OF establishing an ideal, nom
sectarian grave yard. The people
living In the vicinity claim that
the establishment of a cemeterv at
that point is a nuisance that will
very materially depreciate the
value OF their property. II they do
not gain their point they will re-
sort to the courts and have the
company enjoined.
Speaking OF the matter, III. r.
Salliway, one OF the objecting resi-
dents of that neighborhood, said
to reporter for the LIGHT yester-
day:
1--WE propose to get out an in.
junction. We have got a good pre-
cedent in similar case in Comal
county. The late Bishop Neraz
opened a Catholic cemetery near a
church in Comal county, and the
neighbors asked for an Injunction.
The district court refused it and
they carried it to the Supreme
court, where they gained their
point. We propose to do likewise.

is being built by the city stands
