AT WESTLAKE YESTERDAY.

The pleasant weather yesterday
brought out a large crowd to Westlake
concert rendered by the Seventh Regi-
ment band. Along the Seventh street
side of the park carriages were massed
so that the street was blockaded, and
the police were kept busy clearing a
passageway.
On vacant lot across from the band

blast, and the huge and brazen-throat-

for the delectation of patrons so inter-

that the proprietor was asked to stop

JUMPED OFF A CAR.
A Colored Woman Alights Backward
and Her Scalp Is Cut Open.

BY reason of her carelessness in get
ting off an electric car while in motion,
and also making the mistake Of alight-
ing backward, Mrs. Mary Smith, an ell
derly cOlored woman, came near losing
her life last night. She resides at 232
Elmira street, and having been uptown,
got on Kuhrts street car for her home
At the corner of Elmira and New
Main streets she suddenly rose from her
seat, got down on the footboard and
jumped Off while the car was bowling
along at rapid rate. No one on the
car thought she intended to get off, and
her reason can only be conjectured. On
striking the ground she at once tumbeld
over backward, and her head hit the
ground with terrible force.
The car was stopped and the woman
picked up and taken into a drug store
on the corner where DR.. Bresee, who was
passenger on the car and saw the
whole affair, attended her. The scalp in
the back of her head was badly cut and
lacerated, but luckily the skull was not
fractured. The patrol wagon was sum-
moned and conveyed Mrs. Smith to the
receiving hospital, where the wound
was dressed by Drs. Bresee and Aims

STILL UNIDENTIFIED.
Coroner's Inquest Upon the Body Found
In East Side Park.

An inquest was held at the undertake
ing rooms of Orr & Hines last evening
upon the body of an aged man who was
found dead on a bench in the East Side
park last Saturday night No one has
as yet identified the body, although it
was at first thought that he had been a
patient at the county hospital.
He had no papers on his person which
would disclose his name and was penni-

1t is thought that possibly he was a
veteran from the soldiers home who
had been away on furlough and had
stopped in this city before going to the
home. This supposition is borne out by
the fact that his hat and shoes are such
as are issued to the vets at the home

Mr.. Hiram Martin, the popular young

city to the big Diocesan conference
held in Toronto recently and he read
a paper on Amusement and Recreation
in Christian Life, which created the
biggest kind of a sensation and took the
breath completely away from some of
the other delegates. He took the broad
ground that betting was harmless in
any game or sport, from the race track
down, if indulged in moderately. He
took the ground that 1t was quite harm
less to play cards for small wager,
so long as the persons interested in the
game We're able to lose the small sum
staked and had done their duty to the
church and their fellow men. He did
not apporve of everyday gambling. but

any harm in stalking small sums of mon
