WHY NOT PAVE TWO BLOCKss
Improvement of New Houston Street
south of the Park.

Improvement of New Houston Street
South of the Park.
The block on New Houston street, be-
tween Drayton and Bull, has been curbed
preparatory to hardening the roadway
with dirt or gravel. This will provide
paved street halfway across the south
end of the parade ground. Would it not
be well for the street and lane committee
to make the improvement ship-shape by
continuing it to Whitaker street, and
thereby give fairly good driveway around
the Park and parade ground?
Were it not that the city cannot well
afford the expense it would not be a bad
idea to take up the cobble stones on Dray-
ton and Whitaker streets from CASTOR and
New Houston, and replace them with Au-
gusta gravel or some other cheap harden
ing material, so as to give a smooth pave
ment around the Park and parade ground
for vehicles and bicycles, and thereby re-
lieve the sidewalks of the latter.
Owing to the very old and rough cobble-
stone paving on Whitaker street. and the
equally rough street railway track, 1t has
been almost abandoned as a thoroughfare
for vehicles of all kinds. Even coal carts
and ice wagons keep off Whitaker street.
unless it's use is unavoidable. A good
driveway on New Houston street may de-
velope the improvement of other streets
around the Park.

DIDN'T KICK THE CYCLIsr.
An Old DarlSey Who Acted as If Used
TO Being Run over.

He was an old darkey of the type that
is rapidly succumbing to the passing
years. The weight of some eighty win
tiers rested heavily upon his bowed shoul-
ders and a stick loaned its support to his
feeble and hesitating steps. His grizzled
gray hair was the recepticle of small
triies he regarded as valuable, the stub
of a pencil, hair pin and two or three
matches being among the articles. evil
IDENTIFY dear to him and worth the saving,
that, stuck in securely, refused to fall
even when subjected TO the severe jolting
of a collision with a bicycle.
The old man was crossing Bull street
just north Of Liberty. On one arm he
carried bag, apparently containing
other of his possessions. His pace was
uncertain and he seemed to feel the proper
appreciation of the danger he ran in cross
ing the street. He kept a wary outlook
for the bicycles that were passing in
numbers.
1t was just after o'clock, when the
clerks and business men were going to
their dinners and when the school chill
dren had been dismissed and were on
their way home. One of the High School
boys, apparently about the age that
would place him in the First grade was
coming by on his wheel. He saw the old
man and the old man saw him. Each
tried to avoid the other, with the result
that often follows when the pedestrian
does not give the bicyclist credit for be-
ing able to take care of himself In the
collision the old man was thrown violent

then lay upon his back. The boy was not
hurt and jumped up at once.
Two or three young men, who witnessed
the accident, ran out to assist the old man
who was evidently dazed by his fall. He
was assisted to rise and with an effort re-
gained his feet, though not without a groar
or two.

Never a word of complaint did he have
to make. nor did he say anything about the
boy not having rung his bell or it's beine
his fault that the accident occurred. He
seemed to be willing to accept all the
blame.

boy said. "Nebber mind, child; the ole

While the case was on trial, facts were

to have been in the latter category at the

This was done, and they found her suffer

they performed an operation upon her IN
the hope of saving her life.
DR.. Nichols gave considerable testimony
relating TO the case, on the direct and on

points relating to cases similar to that

it might be so considered but he was not
prepared to testify to it, or to conclusions
stated in it. More questions of a general
nature were asked, when DR.. Nichols said:

unknown and unfamiliar. Some of the au-
thorities mentioned to DR.. Nichols were
pronounced by him as out of date and not
good
DR.. Duncan, who was consulting physi-
clan with DR.. Nichols, testified somewhat
similarly to Dr. Nichols with regard to
their visits to Mrs Toehl. and as to what
was done. The woman, he said, was in
a very bad condition. and was suffering
from blood poison. There was very little
hope for her, he said, though they treated
her right along. DR.. Duncan also gave
expert testimony in reply to questions
from Mr. Richards
The court adjourned for supper before
the testimony of DR.. Duncan had been
concluded. When the trial was resumed
at $50 o'clock DIR. Duncan was examined
for a time along the same line and the
state rested.
DR.. S. S. Prosser, brother of the defend
| ant. was the first witness sworn in behalf
of the defense. He gave considerable tes-
timony with regard to the technical feat
| ures of the case, and made statements 60
| ing to show that the action taken by DR..
| Prosser was necessary for the woman S
| health and safety. Among other things,
he testified that the reason the $50 was re-
| funded to Toehl was because he had stat
| ed that his wife had borrowed it from
| her sister, and that neither he nor his sis
ter-in-law could afford to lose it on ac-
| count of the heavy expense under which
| he had been. Rather than have any talk

refunded.

AGAINST PARLOR Cam PLAYING.
Evangelist Gales Says 1t Leads to
Gambling.

Gambling.
Evangelist Weston r. Gales preached to
a good-sized congregation at the First
Presbyterian Church last night.
Mr.. Gales announced a the beginning
that he simply wanted to reason with
those present on subjects of vital import
ance to them spiritually, without going in
to any detailed discussion. During the
course of the talk he gave object lessons
which contained forciDie arguments on the
proper conduct Of life, and of the manner
in which one should prepare for death.
Several points were made on the line of
scripture, Che wages CT sin is death"
which carried with them the singing effect
of conviction.
Mr.. Gales IS not an advocate of parlor
card playing aud believes it ends in some
thing serious by enticing the player into
gambling. There is little difference be-
tween the progressive euchre party where
a prize is the thing won, and the regular
game, where money is played for The
principle of gambling and all the effects
it carries abides in the one just as strong
as in the other. BY trivial things men
are led to take up habits which later in
Volve them in trouble and ultimately in
utter RUM The point was taken and put
to the congregation with great emphasis,
that what appeared to be innocent pastime,
often resulted in leading men into prac-
tees of violating laws and running them
selves. The drunkard and the degrees Ly
which he reached his lowly state, was Civ
en- as an evidence of what little vices can
some times do in the way Of degenerating
human souls.
At the close of the meetings each night
it is the custom of Mr.. Gales to extend an
invitation to those in the, congregation to
meet with Christians and receive aid and
advice from them. The meetings will con-
tinue during the present week.
