Nay Aug park improvements are be-
coming more noticeable daily as the
rough edges of nature are smoothed
down here and there by roads and
pathways. The park commissioners
could doubtless facilitate the improve
ments in an inexpensive manner if
they would arrest and press in road
service the gangs of tramps that skulk
about the outskirts of the pleasure
grounds that they once owned. Under
proper care the Nay Aug tramp might
become quite a useful citizen.

who are engaged in the attempt to
create the impression that the Repub-

est and corrupt. l have not been able
to find a charge of a single instance
of dishonesty or corruption made by
reputable speakers, and yet they are
endeavoring to create that impression,
aided by newspapers throughout the
state. They do not charge that any
money has been lost to the state in the

The increase in the number of state
banks prior to the war Is shown to have
been very rapid, the number in 1890 being
900: in 1910, '741: in 1850, 500; in 1850 562

number of national banks organized in
1868, 1864, and 1865 was 1901. State

The statements regarding the amount
of money in circulation in the United

teresting. The amount in circulation in

VERDICT FOR MISS DICKINSON.
Successful in Her Suit Against the
New York World.

After an eight-day trial before Judge
Scott and a jury in the supreme court
of New York, which ended Saturday,
verdict for 81 ,2j0 was rendered in favor
of Anna l.. Dickinson in her libel suit
against the New York World. The lib
clous matter was printed at the time
she was incarcerated in the Danville
asylum in 1891 and was to the effect
that she was insane.
As q part OF the defense the World
read the testimony of all the witnesses
in the trial I'm this city, in which Miss
Dickinson sued the parties who forcibly
took her from her home and placed her
in the asylum.
]. Aspenwall Hodge, jr., of counsel
for Miss Dickinson, states in a letter
to Attorney Horace i. Hand, that
there was no question in the minds of
the Jury as to Miss Dickinson's sanity
and as to the injustice of her incarcera-
ton. a number of them were in favor
of a verdict of $4,000, while others felt
that the amount finally agreed upon
was what the World should propor-
tionately contribute to right the wrong
that had been done. other suits are
pending against several other New
York papers.
The counsel for the World after some
hesitation. concluded not to cross-eN-
anime Miss Dickinson, when Mr. Hodge
had finished with the direct examina-
tiCn.
That the trial did not receive anv
notice from the metropolitan press is
explained by the fact that there is an
unalterable rule among the New York
papers not to mention anything con-
cerning q libel suit against news
paper of that city.
