THE ELM PARK CHANGES.
Another Correspondent Criticises Recent
Work of the Commission.
To the Editor Of the Spy:

To the Editor of the Spy:
was glad to read the communication
from Miss Lincoln in the Friday morn
ing Spy, though fear the protest comes
late, since within these few months,
much of the unusual character of our
little park has been destroyed, and pub
lie opinion is slow in making itself
felt
To man whose ideal of city park
is embodied in our common, the
changes made in Elm Park may seem
Improvements, but to those whose true
appreciation has made them proud of
the peculiar beauties developed under
the fostering and loving care of Mr..
Lincoln, it will be a real sorrow to dis
cover how much the destruction of
shrubs and branches and trees has done
to render many most beautiful views
commonplace and inartistic.
The chairman of the commission, in a
recent report, says he has been open
ing UP new vistas." That sounds pretty,
but the expression loses some of its
time-honored charm when you find
that his "vistas'' have as a background
those eXcreScences called "three-deCk-
ers," or the fiaring posters which deco
rate the ugly fence of the agricultural
grounds, and, to lend faction" to each
picture, the useful, if not ornamental,
electric car. .,c
1t is too much, perhaps, to expect a
commissioner to develop our parks with
the wisdom and artistic taste displayed
by Mr.. Lincoln, but we might at least
demand that the beauty already Gre
ated should not be blindly destroyed.
| have had no personal acquaintance
with either chairman Of the parks com
mission, and speak as one of the many
who have been distressed at the results
of one years work in Elm Park

PIEDMoNT,s NEW PASTOR.
II is Generally Believed in Chelsea That
He VIII Accept the Cali.

The announcement that the Piedmont
Congregational Church Of Worces-
ter had voted to extend a call to the
Rev. Charles E. Jefferson, pastor Of the
Central Congregational Church Of Chel-
sea, was read with regret yesterday,
says the Boston Herald, by the people
of Chelsea, where Mr.. Jefferson is I'M
doubtedly the most influential Protest
ant minister
1t has been expected that Mr. Jeffer-
son would leave Chelsea for new and
wider fields, and other announcements
OF calls for him have before been made
the topic of much discussion in the
city.
Mr.. Jefferson himself, when inter-
viewed at his home on Bellingham
street, had nothing specific to say about
the call from Worcester He stated
that he had no further knowledge than
that conveyed to him by the morning
papers.
He said that he believed that pastor
should change as often as once in 10
years. He has been in Chelsea about
that time. He said that the Piedmont
Church would offer him a wider field
for work, and that he had recently been
there and found it attractive. 1t is gen.
orally believed that he will accept the
call
The Rev. Charles E. Jefferson was
born in Cambridge, O., Aug. 20, 1880.
He was graduated from the Cambridge
high school in 1877, being valedlctorian
of the class. He entered Ohio Yves
leyan University at Delaware in the fall
of 1878, graduating in 1882.
In the fall of 1882 he became superin-
tendent of public schools in Worthing-
ton, O., in which position he remained
two years. In the last year he studied
law under the direction of James E.
Wright, one of the ablest lawyers of
the Columbus bar
In the fall Of 1884 he came to Boston
and entered the middle class of the Bos-
ton University law school, and coming
under the influence Of Phillips Brooks,
gave up law for the study of the min
istry. Entering the school Of theology
of Boston University in the winter Of
1884, he graduated in June, 1887, and
was one of the speakers at the COM
mencement Sept. A. 1887, he became
pastor Of Central Church, Chelsea, and
his labors in that pastorate have been
conspicuously successful
Perhaps his greatest work for the city
at large has been in behalf of no.

Still Some Complaint About New

There is still some complaint regard

trouble. A great many people get their
mails much earlier and good many
are necessarily farther down on the new
routes than they were ON the old; and
their letters do not come as early as
before, but this cannot well be avoided.

he runs across the letters and promptly

The public has not as yet got accus-
toned to the relocation of the stamp
window or the letter chutes at the post
office, and each day a number of people
wander aimlessly about trying to. find

woman bought stamp, placed it on a
letter and then proceeded to mail the
letter in a waste-paper box. A Spy man

standing, his age was eighty-two years
and he looks forward to a serene and
peaceful marital life.

Commons the West Indian grants, amounting
to one hundred and twenty thousand pounds,
were passed by large majorities.
Mr.. Chamberlain, speaking on the subject,
deprecated any general discussion, because
negotiations we're proceeding with the United
States aud Canada, and that there was some
delOy in consequence of the UnitedStates want
ing greater reductions than tile West Indies
could afford. He further explained hat the
present grants were for paying deficits, land
settling in st. Vincent, and for roads in
Dominic, and quoted as precedents the ex-
