SANDBANKS IN PARKS.

The Baltimore Park Board is having
constructed in Druid Hill Park sand
bank in which very young children can
mole and burrow and build mud pies.
Clean, white ocean sand will be used,
so that children will not have their
clothing soiled while playing in it.
Around the sand bank will be ar
ranged number of seats and benches,
upon which nurses and parents may
sit while the children are amusing
themselves. If the plan works well a
similar sand bank will be built in Cliff
ton Park.
The sand-bank idea is an importa-
ton from Germany and is one of the
features of the German park kindergar-
ten system.

Works Tries to Escape.
McCrea of the Honolulu Iron Works
and another unknown white man fig
ured in an episode Thursday night that,
to say the least, appears bit peculiar
and suspicious.
1t was quite late into the night when
the wife of officer Kakalia and other
women living in house mauka of st.
Louis College rushed out and shouted
to Officer Silva, who lives in the house
on the opposite corner, for help. Silva
jumped up out of sound sleep and
ran over to the house to see what the
matter was. He found two white men
in the house, and one of the number
leveled a revolver at his head. Silva
ran across again to his house and
awakened officer Kiliona. The two
then proceeded to the house, but the
men had fed. However, they succeeded
in tracking McCrea to the Nuuanu
stream, whether he had run to hide.
When caught he was deep in the mud,
and presented a very sorry spectacle.
When taken to the Police Station he
gave his name as McCrady.
Marshal Brown allowed him to go on
his own recognizance, telling him to
return yesterday morning at 9 o'clock.
McCrea failed to put in an appearance
at the allotted time, and an officer was
sent Immediately to the foundry. The
manager said that they only had a man
by the name of McCrea. This proved to
be the man wanted and after appear
ing before the Marshal, he was told to
present himself this morning
No traces have yet been discovered
of the other man, but it is more than
likely he will be found soon, as Officer
Silva saw him plainly when he went
into Kakalia's house the first time.
The women in the house say that the
men entered without any warning
whatever and frightened them badly by
their actions.

BAD LANGUAGE' CARDS.

'Bad-language" cards are being used
in Switzerland and Germany to check
the use of obscene words. People go
about with cards in their pockets, and
whenever they hear bad language pres
ent one to the swearer to sign. The
card has printed on it a pledge to alb
stain from swearing for a specified
time, or to pay a, certain sum to some
charity. Nearly 10000 cards have been
distributed in Switzerland, where there
are three languages to swear in.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 1.-The
difference between the miners in the
employ of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company and the company. reached a
Crucial stage today. and it cannot be
denied that general strike Is threat
ened. Another convention Of the repre-
sentatives of, all the mining camps was
held here this afternoon and refused to
accept the reduction of 1914 cents in
wages from the existing contract scale,
recently proposed by the company,
though one camp, the Pratt miners,
voted for reduction of per cent.
- The sub-contracting system, where
by the company let's out mine work to
sub-contractors, who employ laborers
at less than the agreed scale, was con-
demned as a violation by the company
of the agreement between the latter
and the miners and the miners board of
arbitration was instructed to call on
the company officials and arrange for
an arbitration to adjust their grievance
es. The members of the board called
on the officials and they replied that
they had nothing to arbitrate, where
upon a call was issued for a state con-
yention on next Wednesday. when it is
said action will be taken which Is
thought to mean general strike unless
a settlement is reached in some way.
Such a strike would effect more than
10. coo men.

lncurab1e Malady VIII Soon Force
the British Commander to Re-
sign.
Lord Wolseley is not likely to retain
for any length of time his position OF
commander-in-chief of the British
army, for. although, after being con-
fined to his house for a number Of
weeks, he has at length returned to
duty at the branch Of the war de-
partment known as the Horse
Guards, yet it is no longer any secret
that he is afflicted with cancer Of the
stomach which is in a very advanced
state, says the Chicago Record.
Nothing else is talked about at
the so-called Service" clubs in and
around Pail Mall, ST. James and Picca-
dilly. and, although the field marshal
popularity being restricted to what IS
known as This gang" yet regret Is
expressed on all sides.
It is asserted that the malady has
reached a point which enables the doc
tors to declare that, while his life may
be prolonged until the end of the
year, he must not look for much extern
sion beyond that, while it is quite pos
sible that he may be carried off long
before the season is over. In that
event 1t is his only daughter.
Frances, who, by virtue of the terms
Of the patent Of his peerage, will be-
come Viscountess Wolseley in her own
right. When she marries, if her hus-
band happens to be commoner or a
baronet, she will retain her own name
and title, which he will in no sense
share. and she will only drop these
in case of her being led to the altar
by nobleman whose rank in the peer
age is loftier than her own. Her peer
age will descend at her demise. but not
until then, to her eldest son, If she
has one, and such failing, to her eld-
est daughter, if she have daughters.
Now that the terrible ailment of Lord
Wolseley is known, people are veering
round and becoming far less bitter in
their denunciation Of his failure to put
into execution all those much needed
military reforms which he urgently
recommended before attaining to his
present office, and the promise of which
was one of the principal objects why
the old Duke Of Cambridge was ousted
from the position of commander-in-
chief of the British army in order to
make way for him.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Congress-
man Harry Bingham, of Philadelphia.
was just entering the capitol grounds,
when he met Col. Kiefer, who for years
represented the st. Paul district in the
house Of representatives. Gen. Bing-
ham referred to the fact that he had
recently received letters from a num-
Der of constituents asking for full lists
Of government publications available
at the disposition Of members of con-
gress. He asked Col. Kiefer if he had
received similar requests from his con-
stituents, and Col. Kiefer replied:
ooh, yes, I have received letters Of
that kind from my constituents and L
was very much surprised, too. The
letters were nearly all alike, and they
asked for valuable publications which
the average citizen would have no use
for except to fill up his library shelves
They managed in some way to secure
a full list Of government publications.
and some of the books for which they
made requests would be valuable only
to presidents of universities and mem
bers of the faculties of colleges.
II do not understand how these lists
were obtained, so I wrote to personal
friend of mine who lives in st. Paul
to make inquiry for me. He replied
that he had received a letter from the
secretary of the Bookbinders National
association informing him that he
could get all of the books named in
the list by writing to his member of
congress. I then made inquiry Of the
other members Of the Minnesota con-
gressional delegation, and from them
I ascertained that similar letters had
been received from prominent men
from every, part of their district. And
thus it became patent to me that there
was a concerted effort being made
throughout the country to secure all
Of these government publications. I
then made an effort to ascertain the
cause Of this concerted effort, and I
found that it was manipulated by the
National Bookbinders association, and
for the purpose Of increasing work
for bookbinders. The bookbindery at
the government printing office in this
city is pretty well equipped, and en-
ploys a. number Of skilled workmen.
1t is evidently the object of the associa-
ton to get the people to write for
these publications, and thereby create
a greater demand for book printing
and bookbinding.
