PEACE MONUMENT HONORED
Evergreens and Immortelles for
the Memorial to Heroism-Crowds
Must BE Under Cover-Special
Accommodations for East Capitol
EsplaDade.

The committee on parks and reservations
at meeting yesterday afternoon resolved
that the Peace Monument shall be an adj
ditionaI monument To the fact that the
inaugural committees will not seek the
almighty dollar in all preserves
The Peace Monument will be kept free
from business ventures. No stand will be
permitted TO desecrate it. On the con-
trary it will be surrounded by railing
to be decorated with evergreens and i'm
mortel,es, after the beautiful French fashion
of adorning such monuments in times of
public fetes. The Peace Monument, as
is known to Washingtonians, is memorial
to the heroism OF the men who preserved
the nion.
Another innovation OF the committee is
to permit the erection OF two stands on the
east esplanade of the Capitol, from which
definite number of people at least may
see what is going on. The others Will
merely be in the push, and III 1t Is a
fair day the women might just as well
take along their cycle pumps to keep their
balloon sleeves aflOat.
This was not officially discussed at the
meeting, but will probably be indorsed as
a good suggestion by Chairman Willard.
Mr.. willard presided, Mr.. Samuel w.
Curriden being secretary. The committee
had great many matters of business be-
fore it, and had long and interesting
session Plans for programs and stands
were submitted.
There was another innovation decided
upoa Contractors viii be obliged TO cover
the street stands so that in case OF rain
there will not be panic in the rush 10
cover, as they say at Chevy Chase.

COL. HAY WANTS JUSTICE
Brings Suit in Court for Certain
City Lots.
STRANGE STORY IS TOLD
Old Mr.. and Mrs. Piper Adopted Him
and He Was to Care for Them
During the Remainder of Their,
I4ives-In Return He Was to Have
the Property.

Anna V Whitney and Richard II. Piper
and George Moore are made the defendants
in bill OF equity filed yesterday by E. b.,
Hay for the declaring of a trust on lots
13S, 40, 14l, square 1893.
In 1887 Piper and his wife left Chicago.
and came to Washington pursuant to
arrangement made with Mr.. Hay that he
was to take care of them for the rest of
their lives. The couple were very aged.
They in return agreed to give to him ut
their death the property in question.
Col. Hay claims that is early as jan
uary, 1886, Mr.. and Mrs. Piper executed
a will conveying all their property to him
except about $500 of minor legacies,
Ii is further recited that the old people
even went so far as to adopt Col Hay and
treat him as their son To further carry
out his agreement the Colonel says he began
the construction of house on the lots
mentioned. Part of the cost came out Of
his pocket.

The First VIII.

In 1883 the dwelling was completed and
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs Piper and MIR!
and Mrs. Hay. The same year Mr.. Piper
executed a will in which the pI operty was
devised 10 Col. Hay in trust for Mrs. Piper
at whose death, however, 1t was to go to
the complainant The relations between
all were most pleasant, recites the pes,
| tition. Mr.. and Mrs. Piper continued in
ODD health until August, 1892, when they
went to Saratoga Springs, where the old
lady died, after q brief illness.
In another Will, said to have been made
after Mrs Pipcr's death, it is claimed
that the old gentleman again arranged
for his property to go to his adopted son.
The bcreaved husband, however, changed
his mind and refused TO return to Wash
ington. Col Hay says that thereupon he
left him in the care of the best medical
attendance and trained nurses, the Old
man promising to come hack to this city
after a fortnight.
The petitioner then charges that GER
tain G. s. Thomas, OF Chicago, a business
| agent, came to Saratoga and took the
enfeebled Mr.. Piper 10 Thomas home
in the Windy City. 1t is asserted that
while there in disturbed state of mind
| Thomas, the old man was induced to make
a deed of his property TO a certain George
| Moore in trust. This deed, il is claimed,
| has been set aside by the circuit court OF
Cook county, Ill The alleged deed in
| cludes not only the Washington real es
tate mentioned, but also considerable Chi
cago realty.
1t was about this time that Mrs Whit
ney asppeared. She is niece of old
Mr.. Piper, and in June of 1895, came to
| Washington in search OF her uncle. She
thought he was still in the care of Col
Hay, but was much surprised to learn
that her relative was under restraint in
| Chicago. She learned this after con-
sultation with Col. Hay, who now says
that Mrs. Whitney went to Chicago and
assuming charge OF Mr.. Piper carried him
| to her home I'D Newport, Maine. She gave
| out that her uncle's visit was for the

Off in Europe.

Time passed away and as everyone
knows, the colonel went to Europe. Ii
was during his absence that further mis-
chief is said to have been committed.
During that time deed was made by
Mr.. Piper conveying his Washington prop
erty to Mrs. Whitney.
Not since he left Washington" re-
cites the bill, ''have the apartments of
Mr.. Piper in the joint home been dis
turbed' The petitioner recites that he
has faithfully performed his obligation
to the deceased woman and stands ready
to continue the care and maintenance OF
the living husband"
He explains that he has paid the taxes
on the real estate in controversy, and be-
side contributing to the cost of the house
has kept it in repair. The court is asked
to construe the conveyance to Mrs Whit
ney as a trust in favor of Mr.. Hay and TO
prevent the niece from selling or encum-
bering the property.

POINTERS ON CITY OWNERSHIP.

T. E. Kelley: 1 will bet there are
200 voters in this town whs believe
that city ownership means free gas
for everybody on the townsite. A
number of them have argued that to
me. "The tax payers furnish free
schools for our children" they say,
land why shouldn't they furnish free
gas?"
George HiLdebrdnt, (farmer): Well,
are you folks in lola going to make
fools of yourselves again and vote a
lot more bonds? L was about ready
to quit farming and come to lola, but
/ will wait now until this light is
over. They used to tell us that the
taxes from the railroads would pay
the principal and interest of the bonds
we voted them, but L notice they
never did; and guess the talk about
the gas plant paying for itself would
pan out the same way: If you vote
those bonds the tax payers will pay
them, you can bet on that.

mRULLErIN No 90

"Bulletin No. g." came onto the
streets yesterday and is largely do
voted, as was mo. 2" to an attack
upon the integrity and good faith of
the sixty or severity citizens who con-
stitute the present Gas Company. 1t
repeats the false figures of Bulletin
No. 2" with the remark that they
shave not been questioned" The
Committee" will learn by reading
this issue of the REGISTER that those
figures are not only questioned, but
shown beyond cavil to be erroneous.
The BULLETIN" makes another mis-
statement when il says that the decree
of the Court leaves such service as
furnishing gas to the school house TO
contract. The decree distinctly says
that the charge made for such service
shall not exceed the amount fixed by
ordinance 328. The same provision
also covers the price charged at the
court house, so that the assertion made
by the Bulletin" that the court house
charges will be mo doubt increased
next year." is entirely without foun-
datiOn. The whole tenor of the
Bulletin" as we'll as much of the
talk on the streets, is intended to con-
vey the impression that unless the
city buys the gas plant it will. in a
year or two, be wholly at the mercy
of heartless and cOnscienceless cor
poratiOn. The truth is, as the REGIS
TER-has repeatedly shown, that the
present prices are fixed by the court
and cannot be raised either next year
or the year after or any gear except
by order of court. If you doubt this
go to the records and see.
The Iola register., 1897-04-02
THE REASON WHY

AS we have already stated, the re-
suit of next Mondays election will
not have any effect whatever on the
matter of the city ownership of the
gas plant. If Mr.. Mcclure and his
council are elected they cannot call a
bond election unless two-fifths of the
tax payers petition for it; and if Mr.
Taylor and his council are elected
they must call an election whenever
twO-fiths of the tax payers petition
for it. So the election will not settle
the question.
1t is apparent, however, that the
issue is up. Those who favor city
ownership are demanding a vote Oh
it, while those who contemplate in
vesting money in the town are wait
ing to see how the question will be
settled. This being the case the
sooner the test comes the better.
But before deciding this question
the people owe it to themselves to
consider with the utmost care all the
facts and arguments that would help
them to come to the right conclusion.
And that is our apology for devoting
so much space in this issue to the gas
question. We call attention partic-
ularly to the communication from Mr.
Henderson on page 8. The showing
he makes of the difference between
theory and experience, and his clear
exposure of the fallacious figuring of
wise. ought TO be studied carefully by
every citizen. Let US not make
mistake.

The trouble with most of us is that
we take things too seriously. We
make up our minds that things ought
to go certain way, and when they
go some other way we get mad and
mOrUse, like children who pick up
their doll clothes and go home be-
cause the Other children WON'T play
right. That may be human nature
but it is not good sense. The true
philosophy is this: Nothing matters
much" If you want to understand
the meaning of this go out by your
self some clear night and look up at
the stars; think how many there are;
remember that most of them are suns
with invisible planets circling around
them as the planets of our system
circle our sun; remember that all of
them, suns, planets, considerations,
"all the infinite hosts of heaven" are
swinging in majestic sweep around
some great unknown center; remem-
ber that beyond the faintest, farthest
star, beyond and beyond and beyond,
stretch the unmeasured, immeasur-
able expanses of Gods Universe.
Open your mind and widen the wings
of your imagination until you begin
to understand dimly something of the
vastness of the heights and depths
that encompass you,-and then drop
back all at once to yourself! What
miserable, minute, unregarded atom
you are after all! A mote trembling
an instant in the sunbeam, then van
ishing utterly! A fleck of foam
thrown up for a moment from the
Greet of wave, then sinking back
into the ocean! How ridiculous seem
your isappOintments, how comical
your bitterness and rage! Make
your fight il YOU have to, and when
you win be glad. but when you lose,
laugh also For what is the differ
ence? Nothing really matters much.
AT least not as much as we generally
think it does.
