CAMP TuppER.

BY what title does this city hold her
parks? The answer is by dedication.
That is the highest title a city can
have to property, because 1t not only
conveys the fee-simple title, but car
ries with it's perpetual covenant pre-
venting the city from diverting the
public ground to other uses than those
intended by the dedication. 1t also
entails on the city accepting the
ground dedicated, the duty of pre-
venting encroachments, destruction or
damage.
For instance, the other day the City
Council took action toward building
sidewalk on easterly side of the pub
lie park, officially known as Quad
ranaou," but commonly called Camp
Tupper. This park was reserved and
dedicated to public uses because it
contained an ancient earthwork of the
Mound-builders, an elevated, square
with approaches on each side, one of
which extends across the line of the
proposed sidewalk, some distance into
Fourth street. OF course the City
Council have no right to cut this ap-
proach in building the sidewalk.
That would be, as one might say not
Only Dut OH dSI Vi van
dalism.
Records of the Dedication.
The entries in the Ohio Company s
records, dedicating this square, are as
follows:
"At meeting of the directors and
agents on the banks of the Musking-
um, near its confluence with the Ohio,
July 2, 1888,
Resolved, That the reserved public
square in the city, including the build
ings at the block house, be called
Campus Martius," the elevated square
No. II 'Quadranaou' No. 10 Capt.
olium' and square No. 81 Cecilia,
and that the great road through the
covert way to Quadranaou be called
'Sacra Via"
Later on we find the following:
Marietta, Jan.21, 1896.
Resolved, That the following re-
serves are to be made: Ten acres be-
tween Clty square No S3 and the
three acre lots, as already laid out,
which is to be kept as a burying
ground forever; also the two elevated
squares at this place known by the
names of Uapitolium and Quadranaou,
to be reserved either for public walks
or for the erecting of public buildings
thereon.
This dedication of course included
the whole space covered by the "Ele-
waited Square" no matter if it reached
half way across Fourth street, the
reservation must cover the whole
earthwork, and was intended to pre-
serve the whole work intact. This
dedication and reservation is para
mount to any right the city may have
in the premises for street purposes.
The city, when necessary, can always
condemn private property for public
uses, and thus get room for streets
and sidewalks, but an ancient earth
work. like the elevated square, once
destroyed, can never be restored. No
doubt all that is necessary is to call
public attention to this matter and no
damage will be done to this fine relic
of the ancient inhabitants of the Ohio

GEORGE STRECKER, SIR,

George Strecker, Sr., passed away at
his late home ,206 Gilman avenue,
last evening at half past five o'clock.
Mr. Strecker had been on the decline
for the past two years, and yet the
end came with suddenness. A COM
plication OF diseases, superinduced by
the sad death Of his son-in-law, John
w. Gerken, was the real cause of his
death.
Mr.. Strecker was born Nov. 5th,
1888, at Wittenburg, Germany. He
came to America and with his parents
settled at Pittsburg. For a number
OF years he was employed in a glass
factory in that city. From there he
moved to Churchtown, this county.
where for a number of years he
farmed and worked in a cooper shop.
He then moved to Harmar West Ma
rietta) and worked in boiler shop in
the old bucket factory, where he
learned his trade. He then. with his
three brothers, started the bofler
works on the West Side, known as the
Geo, Strecker & Co. shops. In 1884 he
built the Herman steam -four mills
he also for number of years was in
terested in the river business and
bullt number of steamboats,, among
them being the Valley Belle, Ollivette,
Success and the Geo. Strecker.
Mr.. Strecker was a man OF great
ability and his work through life was
that of an upright. honest industri-
Gus man. He will be sadly missed in
this community
Mr.. Strecker leaves a wife and nine
children to mourn his death. The
children are Mrs. V. B. Hovey, Mrs.
John w. Gerken, Mrs. DR. ]. c. Bohl
Mrs. VIM. Penwell, Miss Emma

It is we'll, for the sake of humanity,
that the surrender of Santiago was
hastened by the concessions of our
government permitting the return of
the Spanish troops to their native
land. The doom of the city and it's
garrison was sure beyond all question
But a little while longer and the flag
of Spain and it's defenders would have
been swept straightway into the sea-
and Death would have reaped won
derful harvest. 1t would have been a
bitter ending, however, and many a
brave boy in blue would have been
done to death before the final victory
So it is well, too for American homes,
that our leaders are merciful as we'll
as brave,

USE OF GAS
AT Athens Will Hurt Hooking Valley
Coal Interests.

At Athens Will Hurt Hooking Valley
Coal Interests.
Nelsonville, Ohio, July 16.-There is
considerable uneasiness manifested
here among the different coal compan-
les, caused by the Logan Natural Gas
and Fuel Company, whose line passes
through this city and who has the
franchise for the city of Athens. The
gas company, it is said, has made a
proposition to the Athens State Hos
pital for the Insane to heat and light
the large asylum, which will be
brought up and considered at the next
meeting of the trustees, which will oc-
cur the goth of this month.
The contract, which is one of the
largest enjoyed by this field. and
which, if taken away would cause
quite a loss, not only to the miners.
but operators as well, has been a reg
ular thing for the Hooking Valley
since the erection of the asylum. If
the trustees decide to use the new fuel
they will cause quite a hot time in
this part of the state, as the gas has
already made inroads on the coal
business that are felt by all concerned.
The trustees have been petitioned by
leading business men and residents of
Athens not to use the gas, which it is
sincerely hoped by many they will
heed. The coal men view the matter
in purely business light, and they
say they will keep the gas\ out if they
can.

The fall of Santiago will make no
difference in President McKinley's
plans for rushing the war to close,
but should the yellow fever. which has
unfortunately made its appearance in
the vicinity of Santiago, become epi-
demic in our army, it would necessar-
lily make very material difference in
his plans, as it would make precau-
tons to save the lives of our men take
precedence over everything else. There
is no alarm felt by War Department
officials over the appearance of yellow
fever, as it was expected that it would
be brought out of Santiago by refugees
and the medical department of the
army has taken every precaution
known to science to prevent it's getting
foothold in our army; still, the
knowledge that it is there causes un-
eaSineSS.

MARIETTA IMPROVEMENT ASSO-
CITATION.

The Marietta Improvement Associa-
tion held its fourth monthly meeting
last Tuesday afternoon.
This meeting, like all of its prede-
cessors, was full of interest and bene-
fit to those present.
! From the excellent paper read by
| Miss Sarah Cutter on the subject,
| The Public Grounds of Marietta" we
| quote the following paragraph:
"A fair legacy these squares that
| have come to us from our fathers,
| testifying to their intelligence and
wise forethought-but, how are they
testiyying to the intelligent apprecia-
, ton OF today?' .s-- -saaaw w.s.,e
Sess1xSD-
What is now ours by the liberality
of our forefathers could only be pur-
chased at great cost were these lots
built upon by private owners"
I'VE let the Marietta of today exer-
else little provision, as did our fore
fathers, and see picture of these
squares crowded with close, green turf
shaded with graceful trees, bright
with flower beds, refreshed by water,
and provided with seats, where may
come the hard worked laborer at the
end of his days toll, or the weary
woman from her household drudgery
To the cool shade of the trees may be
brought the sick child from the hot
tenements, and to all the breezes may
whisper messages to comfort and
cheer"
For this worthy end therefore do
we hope that the people of Marietta
will preserve and beautify their pub
lie grounds"
Mrs. Theodore Dale followed Miss
Cutter with information in regard to
the amount expended by other towns
the size of Marietta on their squares
and parks. Some of these she had
ascertained were spending from
$1,000 to $1,000 annually on these prec-
ious spots.
The programme was closed with a
very enjoyable piano solo by Miss
nate Grubb
The Improvement Association heart
lily endorses the idea of having music
in our parks on summer evenings; and
would suggest that the band divide its
6Oou WOIh ny playing sometimes IN
Muskingum park, and sometimes at
Quadranaou, and sometimes at Belle
yue park.
The Association also endorses Mr..
George Eeils's project of good bath
house at Muskingum park; and would
like to see one at the foot of Second
street where at small price may be
enjoyed the refreshing effect of good

Admiral Dewey has won another
victory, and has incidentally given
Germany an object lesson of the dan
ger of meddling in the Philippines.
The insurgents reported to Admiral
Dewey that the commander of the
German gunboat Irene had refused to
allow them to attack the Spanish fort
on era ande Island, in Suoig bay Ad-
miral Dewey sent the Cruisers Ralelgh
and Concord TO Subig bay with orders
to capture the fort As soon as the
two cruisers made their appearance in
the bay the Irene steamed out of IL.
After the cruisers had DESTROYED the
fortlhcations ann the torpedo station
the Spanish garrison of more than
1900 men surrendered. After the sur
render the commander of the Irene
tried to square himself with Admiral
Dewey by telling him that he had pre-.
vented the insurgents attacking the
fort in the interest of humanity. and
offered 10 turn over the refugees that
he had taken on his vessel. Admiral
Dewey politely but curtly declined TO
receive them, The Germans will pro.
badly not attempt TO do any more
meddling over there.

The people, the plain, every day peo-
pie, are no whit behind the army and
navy in their devotion to the govern
ment. 1t is now certain that no war
bonds will be secured by financial in
stitutions or corporations, although
they offered to take five times the
amount of the issue, but that the en-.
tire 5000, 000 900 will be taken by the
people: This fact will do much, Ia the

 With nightmare on his mind Far. far away, by tropic bay Bivouacked in a rank morass- He lay in his dream by a brackish
 stream
 Full of yellow fever and grass, And a food Of rain soaked body and

 Though it died in a mighty snore. Then out of the gloom o- the jungle

 The Atlantic Fiction Number Without excluding other important topics, the August Atlantic is notice ably fiction number, and contains a group of short stories of great variety and exceeding interest.
 Morgan Robertson, whose remark ably interesting sea stories have been widely welcomed, tells in Where An gels Fear to Tread" of the marvellous adventures of a crew of lake schooner sailors decoyed into a square rigged ship for long ocean voyage; their sufferings, how they punished their tormentors, and what finally resulted; the whole told with the odor of salt water and the touch of rugged truth. M F. Whitmarsh's "Driftwood" presents a suggestive picture, pleas antly colored with sentiment and TO- nance, of the adventures of pair of ocean castaways, who, at the supreme moment, prefer each other to all the world beside.
 In "The Commodore" Justice Inger- soil gives a rollicking delineatiOn of an eccentric sailor of the old school, his pranks and oddities heightened by contrast with the figure of the precise, old fashioned matron, his wife.
 In contrast to these three brilliant sea tales, "The Tinkling Simlins" by Mary Tracy Earle is a charming and in some ways idyllic sketch of rural life. love and jealousy, with a little tragedy, all combined with humorous touches and keen characterization that carry the reader without pause to the end.

GAUGE OF NATIONAL PROGRESS

There is no such gauge of national progress as war. It tests the capacity of people to the utmost, brings out all their resources and enables an ex- act measure of their strength and ca pabiiities to be taken.
 The present war with Spain is a measure of the growth of the nation in the thirty-three years which have passed since the close of the war for the Union. It took two years for the country to get ready to fight in the eos. It was 1863 before we really be- gan the contest. In 1898 we were fighting ten days after war was de- clared and the contest is likely to be finished in four months after it began. We had grown in strength and capac- ity to such a degree that months work counts now for as much as a years work a generation back. It is not only in material resources that the American people have grown. They have grown equally in quickness of intellect and largeness of mental
 grasp It f.eeded twenty-four months to educate the people to the probable results of the war for the Union Even after Lincoln had issued his prcclama- tion freeing the slaves majority of
 northern people were still hesitaiins.
 But in three months the people have
 grasped the scope of the war with Spain and are ready to decide OF it's results.
 There are other ways in which the
 war has marked time for the Ameri- can people. But as test of their growth in material resources and men
 tai grasp it has furnished abundant evidence.-Philadelph Press.
