BRICK PLYING DISCUSSED.
Several Petitions BE fore the Street Com
mlftee,

The committee on streets last night
held public hearings on large number
of petitions. The ones of most impor-
lance were those for the paving with
vitrified brick of Shelton avenue, Edge
wood avenue and East Chapel street
The committee room was filled with
citizens to be heard on the paving of
Shelton avenue and Edgewood avenue,
nearly all in favor of having vitrified
brick pavements laid on those streets,
although some favored crushed stone
hardening.
| Chief Fancher of the fire department,
Fire Commissioner Kegelmeyer and
Captain Spang of steamer No. appear
ed to favor a brick pavement on Shell
ton avenue. Their argument was that
as Shelton avenue is the main thorough
fare of that section of the city a brick
pavement would enable the engine in
No. SIS house to respond more promptly
to fires
J. G. Casariego also appeared in favor
of the granting of the petition and said
that he had been informed that the
street railway company had threatened
to take up the tracks on Shelton avenue
if a brick pavement was ordered there.
He said; Let them take up the tracks.
We want a brick pavement more than
we want their tracks" Others who APP
peared in favor of the petition We're eX-

"A VACATION SCHOOL PILGRIM

AbIL
''There she is! There she isl Te-ea-
cher, amt it most time to start? ?"
There was the rush of one hundred
and sixty feet; there was the clamor of
eighty tongues all proclaiming in the
vernacular that something exciting was
on foot. Then the special car came
sliding down the track by the green,
and eighty children piled themselves on
board together with a teacher or two
and that member of the committee who
was lucky enough not to have to follow
on the regular car. The starter gave
the signal, dozen little flags were UNI
furIed and the children burst into an
irrepressible whoop of rapture as the
great pilgrimage to Cosey Beach began.
1t was the picnic of the Vacation
school from the Zunder building. For
four weeks the children had spent their
mornings in the pretty rooms, bright
with plants from Champion, pictures
from Cutler and the piano lent by Stein
ert. For four weeks they had shown
themselves faithful, obedient and inter-
ested in their work. Thursday, the Sd
of August, was their gala day, and they
u,ere all agog over the event. There
had been certain preparations for 1t. In
+ba science classes there had been les
sons on seashore sights, talks on the
trees and flowers to be found along the
wav: the manual training had taken the
form of little cardboard baskets strong
enough to bring home the shells and
bright pebbles from the beach. MOST

srAD11NG,s SEARCH FOR ANDREE
Cast Away on an Arctic Island, but Got
Home All Right.

THE SUN has already told Of the return TO
Stockholm Of Herr Stadling and his compan-
ions from their vain search on the Arctic coast
OF Siberia for traces of the Andr6e balloon ex-
petition. Further facts have been received
regarding the search and the misfortune that
befell the leader and one Of his men on their
way home. DR.. Nilsson left the two other men
and went up the Lena River to Yakutsk. while
Stadling and Froenkel went down tho Lena 10
the sea, intending to make their way IN q boat
along the coast westward to the Olenek River.
While on this journey Stadling and his
companion were wrecked, but managed
to reach an uninhabited island, ITO miles
from the river, where they were icebound for
seventeen days until succor reached them.
Gaining the mainland at last they procured
reindeer and proceeded to the mouth of the
Anabar River and thence to Ycnisei. All
reached home in safety after their exciting ex-
perienccs. and their only regret was that no
trace OF Andrea or his balloon was discovered.
Herr Stadling believes there are bright pros
poets forthe development Of the Lena delta :islI-
cries. He says that II the contemplated rail-
road from the upper Lena to join the great
Siberian railroad becomes a fat dccOnlph. a
trade will spring up in supplying fish TO the
industrial and mining districts Of the south.
