TreesNot Treated RipI,t,

A gentleman residing In tho vicinity OF
the Rodney street park would like to know
why the trees were so boxed up that when
mo late hall storm visited our city nearly
off right at tho top Of the tree boxes thus
destroying the beauty of the park. Ho
thinks tho wafer department v responsible
for the damage done tho troos for II they
had not been blocked up in tho manner In
which they were tho storm would never
have injured them. He thinks something
should be done to protect tho balance OFF
the trees or they will surely meet the snme
fate during tho next storm that may visit

ai1ds Of Dollars.
The Residences Alone Aggregate in til.
Neighborhood Of $4,000.
Public Improvements have Been Few
but of an Expensive Nature.

The present year has been 9 phenomi-.
nal one for New Ulm as far as building
is concerned. While everywhere else
has been heard the cry of hard times,
New Ulm has been pushing rapidly to
the front and the change that has come
over the town is noticeable even to those.
who remain here continually.
a striking feature Of the years i'm.
provements is the large number of resi-
dences erected along our principal streets
and especially those of q bentiful aud
substantial character. The Review has
not been able to secure a complete list
of all the new structures, but it gives
the principal ones, and from the figures
which follow it will be seen that nearly
SEC, 1000 have been invested in residences
alone. Numerous small buildings, not
included in this list, included will swell
the amount considerably.
The following are some Of the princi-
pie residence Improvements effected dur
ing the year, with their estimated cost:

OF new business and public buildings
there have not been so many, but such

very lines of business ir which New

mills have been wonderfully improved,
Scbell's brewery is being completely re-
modelled, Schumacher has erected new

the Hauensteln Brewing Co. are prepar-
ing to go into the bottllng business on
an extensive scale. The appearance of
our principal streets has been greatly
changed by giving to two IF the build
ings in the heart OF the city the finest
fronts in town. The Hermann's monu-

Street Names in London.

There is much that is curious and inter-
esting about the ori in and meaning OF
London street names. Some OF them are
taken from the names of previous owners
or occupants of property in the neigh bor-
hood, while others are derived from the
signs of old inns, such as the Bell, Crown,
Beehive, Mitre, Phoenix. Plough. Star,
Swan, etc., and others. again, are due to
former monastries and churches.
In Min cling lane, for instance, was once
a convent of the Minchuns. the old Eng
Iish feminine for monk; the Minorles was
the site of the old convent of ST. Clare, the
nun of which were called "Sorores
Minores" and came to be known as
"Minoresses."
Miles lane is corruption of ST..
Michael's lane; Mark lane for Mart (mar.
ket) lane; Sermon lane for Shermonier
lane, the locality of the "sheremoneyers. !"
who sheared or clipped bullion into shape
for coinage at the exchange near by; S Sse
lane for st. Osyth's lane: Gutter lane for
Guthrun lane, from Dane who owned
property there.
The Knighten guild, a company OF thir-
teen knights to whom King Edgar granted
land in tha 1eighborhoou, is responsib :
for Nightingale lane, and Crutched Friars
is in memory OF the crouched or crossed
robes. who had a monastery ther..
That Jane s ore died in a ditch at
Shoreditch is only pathetic legend in
vented to account .or the name of that 10.
cality-really derived from John de Sor-
dich, Lord in 1343 OF what was then q
suburban village. Names such as Rose
mary, Honeysuckle, ETC., were, of course
given before the outlying districts were
swallowed up in the growth OF the city.
