PLAYGROUND OVER DEAD.
Famous Old Cemetery Being Trans
formed Into a Park

NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-Workmen i'll
the employ of the city have begun to
transform the famous old st. Johns
turying ground into a park. First
they dug a large pit and into this
threw mere than 900 ancient tomstones.
On some of these stones were cut
names that were once we'll known il,
New York. Five thousand bodies were
buried in the cemetery, which is now
in a crowded part Of the west side and
issneeded for a pleasure ground for the
people of the district Trinity corpora
ton fought hard for the old burying
ground, but was defeated and obliged
to accept 100000 for the land. Some
of the bodies were disinterred and re-
moved, but the others will be undis-
turbed One New Yorker whose kin
dred graves were to be covered by q
walk is said to have obtained a modifi-
cation of the plans by which flower
bed will be above the bodies. Until
now the century old tombstones, the
inscriptions on whose faces had been
almost effaced by the hand of time,
have been objects of wonder and in
terest to strangers, telling of a time
when New York was little commu-
nifty at the southern end of Manhattan
island.

PRICELESS RELIC.
ST. Louisan Has Hair From inc
peard of MOhamTned.

In a suualid little room on the secohu n n
of a difapidated building at the corner OF sec
ond and Cerre street, there lives a man WHO
carr.es in a little iron box an object with
which he would not part for all the gold OF
tba Klondike says the st. Louis Republic.
He Guards it as he does his life, and would
readily die rather than be separated from the
curious relic. -, , 4
The object which he guards with such great
oara is only hair from the beard of Prophet
Nohammed. and is reverenced By the follow
ers of the prophet as a piece OF the true cross
is nv Christians There are in existence to-
dav so far as known. only three other such
relics and they are the property of the sui
tan and are kept in a golden box in the new
mosque at Tripoli. Orthodox Mohammedans
make pilgrimages the entire length Of their
country to do homage to the little golden
box containing the three hairs.
The name of the man who is possessed OF
the precious relic is Abdul HaZiz. He is
Syrian and has been in this country for sew
eral years. He came to this city several
weeks ago from New York, and is candy
maker by trade. He is only 35 years OF age,
but worry and anxiety for the safety OF his
treasure have made him prematurely Old
He is a man of good birth, and is a descend
ant of a long line Of dervishes in Syria. All
his ancestors for generations back have been
priests and the wonderful hair has been an
heirloom in the family for centuries.
Abdul HaZfZ has been in possession OF the
hair for twelve years. and its ownership has
caused him much trouble. In fact, it was
the cause of him leaving leaving his native
country. The hair was given TO him by his
grandfather on the latter's deAthhAd, twelve

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept. 29.-Bos-
ton and Brooklyn began series OIL
three games at Eastern park this AFT
ernoon upon which much depends Tor
both teams. Winning all the games
will give Boston the championship, no
matter what Baltimore does. A ma
jority of the games for Brooklyn means
a cinch on the only place still left Ill
the first division-siXth. The manage
ment had planned to handle large
crowd, but the cranks failed to ma
terialize, and when the game began
only about 5000 persons were present.
1t was Kennedy against Lewis. and for
six innings it was nip and tuck, Lewis
having a shade the best of the argu-
ment. In the seventh inning Kennedy
took a ride in the air ship, and be-
fore he could come back to earth Bos-
ton had hit him for one three-bagger,
four singles and a sacrifice, which
brough in four runs. This was more
than Capt. Griffin would stand, and 50
he called on Payne in the eighth inn
ing. He looked like Kennedy to the
Bostons and three more runs was the
result, thus clinching the victory.
After the third inning Lewis had
the home team completely at his mercy.
The support given the youngsters Dor
dered on the phenomenal. Duffy took
a ball off the left field fence, and was
loudly cheered, for it was a grand
piece of work. Stahl caught Shoch's
foul fly from the top of the picket
fence in the sixth. Long and Lowe
seemed to be all over the field. The
Boston rooters had a section all to
themselves in the grand stand. There
were not over seventy-f1ve of them,
but what they lacked in numbers they
made up in enthusiasm. The Boston
contingent brought every possible kind
of an article which they thought would
prove a mascot for their faVoriteS and
a hoodo to the Brooklyns One came
with a large broom on which was a
ribbon bearing "A clean sweep for the
Hub" The Hub enthusiasts hardly
had an opportunity to exert themselves
until after the sixth inning, and then
they made up for lost time. The game
was called at the end of the eighth
inning on account of darkness. Score;

keep order outside of the class rooms
at the John Crerar school in this city,
according to the record. Nine hum
dred pupils are on the rolls, and, ex-
cept when they are actually under the
eyes of their teachers reciting or
studying, they are left absolutely to

ment goes. They march up and down
the stairs without guides or guards,
they romp in the basement play rooms
or tumble about on the brown turf
outside in the most complete freedom.
No bell calls them from their sport
when their recess is over, and every

would dare lay a sacrilegious Hand on the
relic, but that others who have departed from
their faith have attempted to steal 1t. This
happened twice in Syria, and he resolved to
come to America, where he would keep the
ecret.
He claims that he was followed from Syria
by men who knew he had the hair, and that
three times in New York he was nearly muir

valuable hair. He says that he, has been
