CHURCH ARMY A NO GO.

New York, June 1.-THE Parochial
Mission society of the Protestant Epis-
copal church will formally withdraw
its support from the church army Sep
TENDER 2S next. This decision which
was arrived at the regular meeting of
the executive committee amounts
practically to a complete reputation
Of General H. Hadley and his scheme
of evangelization. It was not entirely
unlocked for, however, because the
church army since its organization a
year ago, has existed on sufference,
and no rectorin this diocese had been
found willing to endorse the work. In
fact, it had been on trial, and had not
found favor with the great majority
of the clergy, it was placed on trial
only through the efforts of DR.. Brad
ley, vicar of st. Agnes, who is said to
have now changed his mind about it's
usefulness. The idea of establishing
a church army of national dimensions
was first suggested here when the dis
sentions of the Salvation Army culmi-
mated in the formation of the Volun-
teers of America. The organization
was modelled after the church army of
England and designed to. work in the
slums.

Pedro park had been allowed to grow
up in weeds; the ponds were foul with
Nth; the beautiful trees were dying of
neglect; the grounds were untidy. The
mayor recognized that this was the
most important public park in the city
as 1t afforded an outing place for the
people, and he has devoted his princI-
pal attention to putting these beautiful
grounds in condition for the use and
enjoyment of the public during the
warm season. Necessarily the public
plazas had to be sighted for a while
but these spots will be in turn put in
good condition. The plazas, during the
Elmendorf regime were greatly run
down. Alamo plaza, the most beauti-
full in the profuseness of it's Towering
shrubs and rare trees and plants, was
almost denuded when turned over to
the Callaghan people. Main plaza had
lost many of its rare plants, while in
the other parks neglect had caused the
destruction of trees and shrubs The
present park committee have a very
important task before them in bringing
the parks up to proper condition The
public demands 1t.

CLEANING HOUSE.

Mayor Callghan during his campaign
described graphically the condition of
the city hall; beautiful public build
ing which through neglect and lack of
proper sanitary care, had become an
eye sore and nose gay that fairly
stunk to high Heaven. He promised
to have the building renovated and
the cause of complaint removed. Not
having any extra means at his COM
mand and he has utilized the jailer and
janitors and such city prisoners as
have been available to sand paper the
walls, restoring them to their original
color, also to smooth off the wood work
revarnish and repaint until now the
whole interior of the building begins
to wear a neat, clean appearance. The
prison in the basement has also been
subjected to strict sanitary regula-
tions. In fact If Ex-Mayor Elmendorf
would visit his old smoking quarters
where he whiled away the pleasant
hours of official life, he would hardly
recognize the surroundings. If Mayor
Callaghan carries his reform into other
directions as completely as he has in
the city hall, we may expect clean
streets, well kept parks and general re-
formation. The hall is the home Of
the city government and should be a
fair index of the habits Of the people
who inhabit it.

A MARKET HOUSE.

The earnest plea of the public to say
nothing of the people engaged in SELL
ing meats and vegetables to the pub
lie, in favor of the erection of a COM
modious market house is being ear
nestly considered by the city admins
tration. How easy it would be to do
all these things if we only had the
money. If the people are willing to tax
themselves to make public improve
ments it would not take much effort to
have market house suitable for the
wants of the city. 1t has been argued
that when We go into the market house
business we must have two or more,
as the several parts of the city must
be accommodated. How is it today?
By common consent the sale of vege-
tables, and largely other edihles, is
concentrated on Military plaza, where
the hucksters must spread their wares
on the pavement, or provide themselv-
es with temporary stands. If these
market people could sell their stuff as
easily at any other point they would
certainly do so. The abandonment by
the city of a central meat market has
driven the butchers into little shops of
their own all over the city. 1t has
been demonstrated that a central mar
ket house can be profitably erected
without burdening the city with per-
manent debt and that such an enter
prise will be a money maker for the
city.
A market house is one of the enter
prises slated by Mayor Callaghan as
soon as he can tell that the city gov
eminent has smooth sailing.

CITY TOPICS.
A MANDAMUs THE PROPER REM
EDY.

"A recent decision has been made in
a state court iii New Orleans TO the
effect that ,mandamus is a proper rem
edy to enforce the payment by a NUM-
clpal corporation of an official salary.
The Daily States says:
This establishes a precedent, for
there has never been a decision rem
dered on these lines in the United
States before, and sets at rest aues-
ton that every officeholder under mu-
nicipal dominion will hail with Joy
and satisfaction for it decides that the
city has no authority to leave them
out in the cold when the annual budget
is being made up
The case was on mandamus sued out
by a clerk Of Recorders court to
compel the city Of New Orleans to nav
his salary which the city council had
failed to provide for in the annual bud
get.
The city contended that the writ of
mandamus was not a proper remedy
to compel the council to pay the SAL
airy that the remedy was in the ordin-
airy way of suit for debt. The court
said:
IL icCoSulZS SuCn contention
would inevitably result in placing all
the officers of the corporation COM
pletely at themercy of the council; the
power to withhold appropriations car
ries with it the power to control or
drive from office every salaried NUM-
cipal officer. The most casual acquain-
lance with the principals of free gov
eminent forbids the thought that the
Legislature ever intended to lodge so
dangerous a power in the council.
Neither can we countenance a SUCCESS
ton which would make the enforce
ment of an absolute legal right de-
pend upon the contingencies of a iudg-
e's health, a crowded docket, or the
intervention of legal holidays"
The short of it is that the agrieyed
public servant has a very preemptory
process at his command to force a city
council to pay his salary.

ADAM DIDN'T FIND EVE.

Solomon islands with a party of one
hundred men who expected to find an

ton was collapsed at Fiji. With a
general row over the distribution of
their community property, many of
the colonists left the vessel and sought
employment on shore, and the remain
der resolved to take the brig to New
Zealand where she is to be sold at pub
lie auction and the proceeds are to be
divided.

PARKS NEED CARE.

Mayor Callaghan is trying to take
care of all the parks with only two
gardeners at his command. This would
be well enough If these parks had been
turned over to him in good condition,
but the contrary was the case. San
