the Improvement of Nay Aug Park
passed third and final reading in select
council last night and is now ready for
the mayors signature.
Mr.. Coyne wanted to amend the ord.
nance by taking a slice of the appro-
priation for Connell Park but his effort
was unsuccessful.
Mr. Chittenden, the father of the ord
dnance. vigorously protested against
any amendment being tackled to his
measure. Let us fix up Nay Aug
Park first and then turn attention to
other parks he said. Nay Aug dis

that is frequented by residents from
all parts of the city. and. the only park
visitors think of going to-
Mr.. Coyne argued that the ordinance
was unfair as it Disseminated in fav-
or of one part of the city. "It may be
true" said MIR. Coyne, that compara-
lively few persons go to Connell park,
but that is the fault of the councils in
not doing what they should do towards
making the park attractive"
Mr.. SandersOn followed with q Criti-
cism of the "curse of sectiunalism'
aVcring that it is just this sort of thing
that retards the progress of the city.
Nay Aug Park he said. lis the
city's chief park. 1t is patroniZed by
the whole city and the whole city is in
terested in its improvement. The
present financial conditions will per-
NIT of only one park being cared for.
To attempt to make three or four parks
under the existing conditions wOu d
only result in three or four apologies
for parks"
Mr. Kearney spoke in favor of de-
voting all energies towards improving
Nay Aug Park and ignoring the others.
Mr.. Fellows suggested that as only
$4,000 of the 100000 was to be used the
first year that $4,000 slice of the
balance be appropriated for a park on
the West Side. The money could be
returned to Nay Aug Park later on

Kingfsher, o. T, April ESPECIALLY
Prof ]. T. House, president Of Kingisher
college, has just returned from the New
England states, where he has been doing
some effectual work in the interest Of the
college. Some time ago a very wealthy
lady, Miss Gilbert, residing at Middle
ton, Conn, gave to the trustees Of this
school $3.50 to help get them into their
new building, and while President House
was down east he called on Miss Gilbert
at her home and they talked about his
work, and the college generally. Among
other things the matter Of requisite &C
commodations for students was fully dis
cussed and the construction Of o dormi-
tory for boys considered. The result of
the talk was that Miss Gilbert promised
10 make Kingisher college a handsome
donation for the above purpose, and last
Saturday Prof. House announced that he
had Just received a draft from Miss GIL
bert for the sum Of $50, 900 for the purpose
of building a dormitory for the use Of the
boys of the college. The trustees and

TIDAL WAVES IN THE PACIFIC
Strange Tales of Rescues by the Ship
Qneen of the isles

San Francisco, April pa Chronicle
special from Tacoma says: Tidal waves
and severe gales have caused great dam
age to the islands of the Caroline group
during the past few months, according to
Captain Hitchfield, master and owner Of
the British schooner Queen Of the Isles,
which arrived at Wanchai near Hong
Kong, from the Caroline group. He says
that all breadfrps and taro, the only lux
urleS the natives have toward the usual
meal of cocoanuts and fish, have been
killed. In December last the Queen OF the
Isles picked up the crew and passengers,
twenty-nine in all, of the American mis-
sionary schooner r. W. Logan, of Bos-
ton, which was wrecked during storm
on one of the Mortlock islands. Landing
the missionaries safely on their own
island, the Queen of the Isles proceeded
eastward. After a days sail past the
Bordalaise reefs, Captain Hitchfield was
seized with a strong impression that he
should visit these islets. He accordingly
turned back and found the island Of St.
Augustine half washed away. Fourteen
people, on the verge Of starvati ton, had
taken refuge on the highest point of the
island their gardens on the lower por-
tons having been swept out Of existence
BY an immense tidal wave. These people
were taken aboard and turned over 10 the
Spanish governor at Ponape. On her last
trip the Queen OF the Isles landed them
at thei roriginaI homes on one of the
western high islands.
Not long after Captain Hitchheld and
his schooner were the means Of saving the
lives Of over go people At one Of the Gil
bert islands a tidal wave overlook them
and they would have been swept away
