are not as active in the planting OF shade

past our city authorities have been
setting out trees-and their work is COM
mendable-but its good effects viii not
be seen Immediately. The trees thus
planted have to pass through the dangers
common to infancy. Worse than all, they
are subject TO the depredations of idle and
reckless boys.
What is needed here is a stronger pub

half of tree-plantlng and tree protection.

wards, and the narrow lots upon wmch
our residences are now built leave US
little hope that there will be much OF
change for the better. Therefore, there
is all the more reason why we should
make the most of our opportunities for
shade-tree growing.
The lessened interest Of our people In
trees and flowers is probably attributable
In no small measure to the custom,
now so general, Of many families aban-
doning their homes early in the summer
and staying away until autumn. With
them il is no longer a matter of great
consequence how their homes may look
in summer
IT is time we were reforming as to these
matters. And now, when we view the
ravages OF the recent storms on trees,
shrubs, and vines, IS a good time TO come
to the resolution TO go to work to make
our city more attractive in the summer.
The Dispatch has urged on many oc-
casions during the past twelve months
that our public parks be made more at
tractive. but it is quite as important that
we should plant more sBade-trees along
the streets and tend them carefully. With
a little effort in both of these directions
Richmond could be greatly beautified.
and then those who stay here during the
summer would find the city more comfort
able and agreeable than before.

THE MENERY Resolution.

1t will be remembered that in the
Senate Monday Mr.. McEnery, Of Louisi-
ana. offered a resolution of disclaimer as
10 permanent annexation Of the Philip
pines, and agreed TO vote for the
treaty after he bad received q Re
publican pledge that all advocates OF the
treaty on the Republican side would
vote for the resolution. Since then the
imperialistic papers have been endeayor-
ing TO make capital out of the Democratic
opposition TO the resolution, charging that
this opposition showed that the Demo-
Gratis who fought the treaty were ac-
tuated entirely by partisan motives.
Tuesday the resolution was again before
the Senate. and according TO the New
York Herald's Washington correspond
ence OF that date. while "the Republican
senators stood ready TO make good their
pledge, there was a disposition by the
Democrats TO make ii difficult for them
20 do so By prolonging debate" At first
blush this would seem to place the Demo-
Gratis In an awkward and Inconsistent po-
sltion. But let us read carefully the
resolution before judging them. II Is as
follows:
Resolved by the Senate and House OF
Representatives OF the United States OF
America In Congress assembled, That by
the ratihcation OF the pending treaty of
peace with Spain II Is not intended 10
incorporate the inhabitants OF said
islands into citizenship OF the United
States. nor Is II intended 10 permanently
annex said islands az an integral part of

vAUNrED FRENCH TITLES.
Some of Them Are Not Worth the
Price of the Cards they Are
Printed On.

The Revue des Revues has been late
Iy occupied in showing that the titles
promenaded by the members of the
Jockey club of the Pommes de Terre,
of the Union and of the Rue Royale are
not worth the cards on which they are
printed: that in France to-day there
does not exist single solitary prince,
duke or marquis possessed of an au-
thentic title. The allegation is inter
esting, particularly SO in view of the
fact that if untrue the collectible dam
ages would be heavy. The Faubourg
Saint-G ermain, the mythical home Of
this mythical aristoeracy, has not, how
ever, demeaned itself with anything SO
uncivil as civil proceedings. But the
Gaulois, its accredited organ, has re-
piled that the allegation is unpatriotic,
and that for the delightful reason that
it is calculated to throw scare into
the hearts of American girls, who. be-
ing heavy consumers, have largely in
creased the national wealth.
The argument has not appealed to

Yankee is a peacock. What good can

KITTY witches Row.

Great Yarmouth, in England, has the
narrowest streets in the world. They
are called rows, and are merely mar
row passageways between buildings.
There are 45 of them in all. stretching
in the aggregate more than seven miles
in length. The narrowest of them is
called kitty Witches row. The en-
trance to it is but 20 inches in width,
and the other end spans Sc inches. Peo-
pie living across from each other can
easily shake hands across the interven-
ing space. One reason given for their
construction is that in case of invas-
ion, these narrow lanes would prove
invaluable as means of defense. An
other reason suggested is that the high
tides might flow through these streets
as outlets.-Golden Days.

Il HERO AT HOME.

The death of Mayor William S.
Mason, of Portland, is a reminder
that there are heroes in business life
as well as on the field of bat
tie. The Spolkesman-Review says:
Through high sense of honor, he
died comparatively a poor man.
The circumstance is narrated by the
Oregonian:
"In 1892 he became president of
the Portland National bank. This
institu ton, because of some unfortu
nate loans, succumbed to the late
financial panlc, but Mr.. Mason stuck
to the ship until the last depositor
was paid in full, sacrificing the great
er part of his personal fortune in
doing so. Through the swindling
operations of the Ainslie Lumber
Company, the bank lost 80 per cent
of its assets. and Mr.. Mason used
about $130,00O of his private fortune
to save the depositors. Only his
high sense of honor and justice
prompted him to make this sacrifice,
for he was bound neither legally nor
morally to use dollar of his own
resources to pay the depositors.'
knowledge of the circumstances
is necessary to full comprehension
of the magnitude of this great sacri-
fee. At the time of his death Mayor
Mason was 67 years of age. His
private fortune was the acquisition
of lifetime of honorable business
effort. He had reached an age where
his sacrifice meant that henceforth
until his death he could not expect
ever again to command an indie
pendent fortune. 1t involved the
surrender of those fond hopes cher
ished by every hard worker, of
few years of quiet retirement in the
sunset of life from the rough and
tumble of active business cares.
1t is said he was not under moral
obligation to apply his private for
tune to the payment of the depositors
of his bank. But he thought differ
emily, and he was right, albeit superb
heroism was needed to act on the
lofty conviction.
And why not? A man of character,
integrity and acknowledged business
acumen engages in banking, and
these qualities draw deposits to his
bank. They are the moral assets of
the institution, and friends, ac-
quaintances and observers bank upon
them.
A crash comes, and it is disclosed
that his Judgment of men was at
fault. He had selected incapable or
dishonest helpers, or he had approved
large loans which proved unsound,
and as a consequence his bank be-
comes insolvent, its doors are closed,
and its deposltors are about to lose
their hard savings.
There is a moral obligation on
that man to bring up the reserves OF
his private fortune. This is high
ethics, and few men will live up to
the exalted standard, but tits well
the few arc found. They are the
balance on fortunes wild wheel. -
They save civilization from disaster
Cities ale enriched and their
histories ennobled by the citizenship
of men like the late Mayor Mason
He leaves beloved and an honored
memory.
"His life was gentle, and the elements
So mix'd in him, that nature might
stand up,
Aud say to all tie world. This was 6
man."
