Captain Kelly's police should look after
a crowd who infest Eighth street in the
vicinity of Hamilton Park. in the evenings
and annoy pedestrians and residents by
firing stones. The worshippers at the Park
Reformed Church, too, are quite often
annoyed by these mischievous youngsters.
To reach the church p~arlors from Eighth
street the worshippers are obliged to pass
through a gate and down steps that lead
to a basement door. Not i~nfrequently
missiles are hurled at them as their heads
disappear below the sidewalk.
Saturday evening exSchoo1 Director
Benjamin Garrison and several gentle
men were descending the steps when a
raw egg grazed the ex-School Directors

frame. A few nights before this episode
a pane of glass in the door was broken
and the glass and missile fell inside the
parlor while a meeting was in progress.

can corn. Corr is such national pro-,
duct that any Increase in the demand
and price would be of immeRce benefit
to the country. The ANIMAL crop Of
this country Is in the neighborh0Od OF

rise or fall means Il change of valua
tion OF $40, 900, ,000. Europeans do not
know anything about American corn.
They consider il III only for horses, and
have no ideas as how IL should be
cooked and prepared for the table.
