FOR A BATTLE FIELDS PARK.
Gov. Tyler of Virginia Signs the
Charter.

Governor Tyler Of Virginia on Saturday
affixed his signature to the charter in
cooperating the Fredericksburg and Adj
jaccnt National Battle Fields Park Me-
mortal Association, the object of which
is to make a park out of the four great
battle fields of Fredericksburg, Chancellors-
vile, the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court
House and adjacent battle grounds.
The governor remarked upon the coin
cidence that he approved the bill on the
anniversary of the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln, and he expressed the hope that
the association which the charter incor-
porates, made up, as it is, of eminent citi-
zens from thrty-eight states Of the Union,
besides the District of Columbia, and en-
bracing soldiers of the late war from
Maine to Florida and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, might be successful in hay
ing these battle fields set aside as a ma
tional park. Those four great battles were,
probably, taken all together, the four
greatest battles of the civil war, as the
Two cemeteries of Fredericksburg-na
and confederate-will testify, the Freder-
icksburg National Cemetery being probably
the largest in the Union, outside of Ar
lington.
The governor said that as the north
has park at Gettysburg, and the south
and west one at Chickamauga, it seemed
to him eminently fitting that Virginia,
which was the Flanders of the war; should
have a park, and that nowhere during the
civil war were four such battles fought in
an area of less than twenty miles square.

KILLED IN ELEVATOR CAR.

Mrs. Arthur Levy Caught Between
Cage md Shaft.
Mrs Arthur Levy of No. 20 West S4th
street was instantly killed in an elevator
of the Holland House in New York city
yesterday afternoon while her husband
powerless to help her, was looking on.
Mrs. Levy tainted soon after the elevator
left the ground floor, and, falling forward
her head was caught between the cage and
the elevator shaft crushing her life out al
most instantly.
Three women, her friends, who were in
the elevator at the time, tainted. The ele-
vator conductor, after partially reversing
his lever, also lost consciousness. The
crazed husband tore off his coat and, at the
risk Of his life, hurled himself through the
narrow space between the floor of the ele-
vator and the top of the door, to reach her
side.
Mr.. Levy was unable to move the body
or the elevator. though the crazed man
bent the heavy ironwork in his frantic en-
deavors to release his wife. Finally the
conductor of the next elevator climbed into
the car and brought it again to the ground
floor. Such was the horror of the sight
that he also lost consciousness.

in Boston for Needed
Changes to the Building.


Changes to the Building.
A dispatch from Boston says: The off,
cial verdict at City Hall is that Faneuil
Hall is fire trap and death trap"
Building Commissioner Damerell has so
condemned it officially, at least on four
different occasions since 1884, when he re-
ported to the department of public build
ings and to the committee Of safety of the
city council.
The city council has been asked again and
again during the past six years to appro-
pirate money for carrying out the recon-
mendations, but not a cent has yet been
provided in the way of fire protection for
this old historic building.
The fire escapes are inadequate; in fact,
they are pronounced by Commissioner Dam
erel as only answering as scaling ladders
to assist fremen in their duty, but in no.
wise as a safe means of escape either from
battery or main hall.
Furthermore, the market which occupies
the ground floor is an additional source of
danger from fire.
The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company, whose armory is in the third
story, has taken the matter up with vigor,
and the mayor has promised to have a
thorough examination of the building made
by competent men under the joint super
vision of Prof Chandler and Mr. Edward
Atkinson, and whatever they may recon-
mend he is ready to urge upon the city
council.

A School Discipline Suggestion.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Have you space in your paper for school
comDlaints?'
If so, allow me to speak about an occur
renee reported by pupil in fourth grade.
1t seems the teacher had been greatly an
noyed by good many talking during
school hours, and just before closing gave
the order, "All those who have been talk
ing today arise!''
Just three out of forty arose, and were
compelled TO remain after school as a pun
isnment. l have no complaint to make
that my daughter-one of the three-was
placed under such discipline, but L do COM
plain that to allow the guilty to escape
punishment so easily seems to be holding
out inducements fer our youth to be dis
honest.
In the writer's school days in New York

ars each day a detective. who made a list

LEADS TO INTEMPERAscE.
Eject of Poor Food and Unattractfvo
Home Tables.

The results Of Investigations into the food
habits of a number Of families in the con-
gested districts Of New York city in 1885
and 1876 have been made public by the
Agricultural Department in a report en-
titled Dietary Studies in New York City,"
The report was prepared by Professor w.
.. Atwater and G. d. Woods, under whose
in mediate direction the Investigations were
conducted with the cooperation of the
New York Association for the Improvement
for the Condition Of the Poor.
In many of the families there was no at
tempt>made to spread an attractive table
'One Of the most common observations
among those who are familiar with the
habits Of the poorer CLASSES of wage work
ers." the report continues, us to the effect
tfat not inconsiderable amount OF the
prevalence of intemperance can be traced
to poor food and unattractive home ia
bles."
Throughout all these dietaries there was
SHOWN very little comprehe nsfon OF the
actual nutritive value of the food pur-
Chased the selection apparently being
made according to some within or TASTE
the presence of csrtain food materials in
the market, OF because the housekeeper
had become accustomed to purchasing Ger
tain kinds Of food. The larger numbsr OF
families spent more than they really could
afford for food, and yet frequently received
insufficient nouriShment. The question
how these people could have obtained more
nutriment for the money expenditure is
answered only in the most general terms
1t Is suggested that one of the best and
sursst ways to improve the condition of
the poor is to give them practical instruc-
lions and object lessons in the preparation
of attractive yet simple and cheap foods.
The subjects upon which the women should
be instructed include lessons upon the best
and most nutritious food materials and
those best adapted in point of cost and
ease of preparation to the needs and cir
cumstances of the family, and instruction
such as shall enable the hous keeper to
prepare simple, wholesome and palatable
dishes from such food.

A dispatch from Tampa. Fla, yesterday
says: A large Cuban expedition left Tampa
last night, and tonight sailed from a point
on Pease river. The men, about seventy in

until tonight, when tug took them out to
the steamer. which bore them away to
Cuba, Col. Emilio Nunez being in charge
of the steamer.

the fact that when the MEN left here they
we're in charge of Col. Luchuga, who was
first lieutenant Of the personal staff Sc
lected by Sanguily when he failed to get
away from Jacksonville. 1t is alleged that
the Cubans have sent Sarguily away on
this trip to get rid of him in the United

Golden Hill Tavern, the Oldest Build
ing In New York.

From Todays New York Journal
There was genuine feeling Of sadness
among New Workers when they read yes
terday morning that the old Golden Hill
tavern had been destroyed by fire the night
before, for the tavern was the oldest Build
ing in New York and within its shadows
was spilled the first blood for the cause of
American independence.
Historic memories innumerable crowded
about the old, weather-stained structure
that had stood for over two centuries at No.
122 William street.
To the students of history this same old
| rookery-for such, in fact, it really was
possessed charms that no other building in
all Manhattan Island could claim from
them. 1t was there that Washington, La
fayette, Steuben, Putnam, Hamilton and
Burr were wont to gather; ii was there
that a council of war was held just prior to
the battle of Long Island; it was there that
numerous secret meetings We're held by the
men who made for the world Its first great
republic.
As the nation grew it was there that John
Adams, James Knox Polk, Andrew Jackson
and many others of fame dined and wined.
Washington Irving boy played beneath
the old oaks in the rear of the tavern.
With the exception of Frances Tavern 1t
was the favorite gathering place of the men
of by-gone day. The place antedates
Frances by considerably more than a
quarter of a century.
One of these venerable trees offered shade
to the sons Of liberty who fell in the en-
counter with the British soldiery on the af-
ternoon of January -, ITO, two months be-
fore the so-called first blood of the revo-
luton was shed at the Boston massacre.
There is an interesting legend connected
with the building of the house. 1t is made
of the little old Dutch brick used as ballast
in vessel which started from Holland for
this country and was captured on the high
seas by the English and converted into a
SLAYER. The bricks alone were left in the
vessel before a cargo of slaves was OBJ
tanned, and so cruelty did the English treat
the slaves that their blood stained the
bricks in the hold beneath the unfortunates.
Then goes on the legend: From thence
on periodically, and until the English We're
driven out of America forever by the sue
cess of the revolution, the blood of the
slaves would appear upon the surface of
the bricks notwithstanding the efforts to
remove it,"
