 Want Places to Walk In.
 The members of the Kneipp yerein of New York have addressed petition to the park commissioners requesting the latter to designate places on the lawns of one or more of the parks where the disciples of the Kneipp water and herb cure may walk barefoot on the grass in the early dawn or in the evening. The commissioners say they will pay prompt attention to the petition, as it deals with scientific question.
 Henry F. Charles, president of the New York Kneipp verein, said:
 "The members of our society com plain that whenever they try to go on the grass barefooted in the parks they are confronted by policemen, who point to the sign, Keep off the grass. Now, there is a medicinal virtue in the grass when it is dewy. It is a cure all free to rich and poor alike. The day is coming when it will be in good form to go bare foot on the grass and sandals will be the correct footwear. Our verein was organized two months ago, and we have 100 members and semimonthly paper. There are also the Hudson County ve- rein in New Jersey, the Brooklyn verein and the Newark, Boston and Chicago vereins ',

FL INGLESITO

One of the Most Daring of Cuban Patriots
 Brings Dispatches
 Major Raoul Marti of the Cuban pa- triot army has arrived in New York from Havana
 He is second cousin of the late Jose Marti, the principal promoter of the present Cuban revolution, and is known in Spanish official reports as Fl Inglesi- to, the little Englishman, possibly be- cause he speaks the English language. as well as Spanish, French and German. In February last Walker Dygert, an American, was captured while travel ing in Cuba by Spanish column, and. being mistaken for the much feared h. glesito. the unfortunate youth was at the point of being shot.
 Fl Inglesito is French citizen. born at Guantanamo, eastern Cuba, in 1866. He is an electrical engineer In the French navy. He took up arms at Sagua la Grande simultaneously with the men who first gave the cry of rebellion in Baise, Manzanillo and Guantanamo. At Moran, Puerto Principe, General Antonio Maceo. on his way to the west ern provinces, made Marti an adjutant He was present at the encounters of Iguara, Los Indios, Manacal. Nal Tiempo, La Colmona, Fl Desquite, La Chilena, Coliseo, La Entrada, Calimete. Central Maria, Union, Estahte, Guira de Molena, Garro. Tairanas, Pinar del Rio, Tirada and many others in western Cuba and has been wounded several times.
 On July 8 at daybreak he crossed the Artemin trocha with 150 men and at night returned to General Maceo's camp in Pinar del Rio This was done, he says, simply because General Maceo wished to show that if he remains in Pinar del Rio it is of his own free will and not because he has been caught in the Spanish trap.
 On July 12 General Maceo intrusted him with some important documents for Delegate Estrada Palma in New York, and he again. although alone, passed the famous trocha between Fort 22 and the houses of the sugar estate Neptuno, where Spanish military quarters are established. In one of the towns of the province of Havana be made friend of Spanish general, who innocently took him to Havana. where 1t was not diffi- cult for him to get on board the Ameri- can steamer Seguranca- York Sun.

W EST CoRNw ALL.

The people of West Cornwall were saddened and rendered unable to give the customary hearty New Years greet ings. by hearing of the death of Dr Joseph A. Livingston Some three weeks ago the doctor, already suffering from fever, returned to his home ID Brooklyn. N Y. His disease rapidly developed typhoid symptoms, and in spite of the best medical attendance, the most wstchful nursing, and most loving care, he passed away on the morning of Dec. 31. Dr Livingston came to us some four and one half years ago, and by his skill as physician, his symps- thetic friendship in the hour of bereave- ment, and his manly character, soon won for himself an envisble place in the esteem and affection or all who knew him. The poor found in him a gener- ous friend who gave them his best ser vice with no thought of reward. As a citizen of the town he was ever active in promoting the best interests of the com- munity, and discharged faithfully and conscientiously, the duties belonging to the offices he held. The expression of sorrow at his death is we'll nigh univer- sal, and his family have the sympathy of the entire community in their hour of affliction.
 .Great Expectations" realized, was the verdict of those who attended the presentation of the drama Among the Breakers" by the Amateur Dramatic Club of West Cornwall, on the evening of Dec 30th, at the opening of the reno vated Village Hall owned by Cochrane Il. 0E ka play were admirably taken and the critical oversight of l.. J. Nickerson, Esq during its rehearsals, did much to insure its success The entertainment was preceded and followed by choice selections of music, rendered by the Messrs Oviatt and Charles Butler on the violin. mandolin, violincello and the banjo. The receipts were $35 which were generously given to complete the payment for the new heater of the chapel.
