Elmwood, the beautiful Cambridge home

as public park in memory of the poet

Metropolitan Park commission has agreed
to give one,third of the $50, 900 required,

have that body contribute another third.

Silver bullion sells for 30 cents per ounce,
the lowest price ever reached in the United
States. This makes the intrinsic value of
the silver dollar - - cents. September
wheat is quoted at % cents, so that the
deadly parallel between silver and wheat,
which was used so frequently in the last
campaign, exists no longer. Mr.. Coin and

The tariff act bill states that it shall be-
come operative on and after its passage.
The bill was not sigue1 by President
Mckinley until after / o'clock Saturday.
The treasury officials say the law recog-
nzes no division Of day and that it took
effect at midnight Friday. This ruling
seems to make the bill retroactive, and
many protests OF importers will be settled
by the courts. The cargoes Of the steam
ers, Normania, Paris and Umbria, all of
which arrived at New York Saturday.
would pay a duty of 5000, 600 under the
Wilson bill and 100000 under the
Dngley bill. The importations in ad-
vance Of the Dingley bill have been so
large that its value as a revenue producing
measure will not be known for some time.

1t seems the tariff bill has not been
without effect, even before its passage.
Figures compiled by the New York World
show that in little more than three
months, during which time the bill has
been under consideration, the total share
value of the "industrial' stocks on the
New York exchange has increased S209,-
567,SSl; that of standard railroad stocks,
S267 2j7, ,0l9; that of active railroad bonds,
Sd4, SO, 600, and the probable value of this
years corn and wheat crops, Sl07, ,s93, 900.
Here is increased prosperity to the amount
of nearly S6j0,000,000 in three months,
and the most plausible explanation for it
is the renewed confidence inspired by an.
ticipation of the new tariff.

ANOTHER LEVEE BREAKS.
Wide Crevasse in the Mississippi
River at Shipland Landing
5 Plantations Flooded.

Jackson, Miss, April 21.-The Green
vile correspondent of the Associated
press wires this morning as follows:
"At $50 this morning the dreadful
alarm cry of levee broke was repeated
for the sixth time in the YazoO-Mississip-
pi delta when the huge eighteen-foot levee
at Shipland Landing, Issaquena county,
suddenly crumbled away, letting in with
a mighty rush and roar the ponderous
torrent of the great river. Shipland is on
Promised Land plantation about two miles
below Lake Providence, La. At the time of
the break back water from the upper
crevasses was already against the levee
ten to twelve inches deep and many
places around were still uncovered. Hope
was entertained that the worst had
passed and that the fearful flood had
spent its fury in the wreck and ruin al
ready wrought. But it was not So Many
fine plantations upon which partial crops
might have been made must now share
the fate of the rest and in all of lower
Issaquena, Sharkey and Yazoo counties,
where there was a foot of water before,
there will now be three feet or more"
Nashville, Tenn, April 21.-Five lives
have been lost in the flooded lands of
Lake county. A skiff was upset causing

He VIII Take the Oath Before a Vast
Multitude.
And then occurs the great event OF
tho day. Clear out into the front, end
facing the vast multitude of loyal spec
tators, President-elect William McKin-
ley goes with the chief justice of the
United States, and there, in the presence
of the representatives of the American
people, receives the oath Of his ex-
allied Office. The oath having been
administered, President Mckinley
proceeds to deliver his inaugural
address, and the United States of
America has new head. Simple
as the ceremony is, it thrills the thou
sands who witness it, for they know that
in no country but ours is change of
administration attended with less fric-
ton. While the ceremony is, as has
been said, extremely simple, it has never
failed to impress foreigners, who have
readily admitted, time and again, that
in genuine impressiveness it surpasses
the gorgeous ceremonials of royal and
imperial coronations. because it enlists
the sympathy of the common people
instead of pointing out social inequali-
ties and fostering class prejudices.
"You have no flow of wines," remarked
noted foreigner. who witnessed the
Inauguration of President Cleveland,
"but the milk of human kindness pours,
