Pure Water and Parks.

That good water and plenty of parks
and Fairgrounds are essential to the
health Of the inhabitants Of city is
generally conceded. They not only con-
tribute much to the physical well being
Of the people. but they also elevate and
strengthen the moral tone OF com.
munity. Good water Is absolutely es,
sential to health.

to large and growing city as any 9th.

Largest School Building.

Wichita has the largest school build.
ing IN the world under one roof. II Is
now occupied as the main building Of
the Friends university and measures
234 by l16 feet. 1t covers three quar-
ters Of an acre OF ground and is five
stories high. 1t contains &c recitation
rooms and halls. with clear hall
space Of POI 900 square feet. 1t Is OF
pressed brick and was built during the
Wichita boom in 1887 at a cost OF
$29O, 900. 1t was intended as the main
building Of a Campbellte church and
for some years was run as Garfield uni
versity. When the boom broke, the
value OF the city lots with which the
university was endowed shrank until
the land went for taxes and the school
was closed. Recently the building was
bought by James Davis. millionaire
Quaker OF ST. Louis. who endowed the
school literally and set il Going as the

TO BEAUTlFY PlTTSBURG.



Civic pride has produced n plan for
the brautIfyiug Of Ptttshurg which is
distlnctively unique and full OF good.
1t Is fathered by the Pittshurg Archi,
tects' club. All organization which in.
cludes some of the best known design.
ers and craftsmen in the city.
This association believes that great
room for Improvement exists in the
section lying between the Allegheny
and MonongAhela rivers, the Union
and Baltimore aud Ohio railroad sta.
tions and the courthouse embracing,
in fact, all OF the down town district.
In order to get the best ideas OF what
is best suited for this work competI-
tive exhibition Of designs has been ar
ranged for. The designers will have
ample scope to show their inventive
genius and originality. AT the same
time It is believed that ideas OF prac.
tical worth to the city fathers will be
secured
The scheme, in the main. is to make
the down town section presentable.
With its smoke and CRIME, Its dingy
buildings and narrow streets, its heavy
traffic and noisome combination of
odors, the so called heart of the city is
not what might be called beautiful
place. Some of it is worse than others.
All Of it Is extremely businesslike and
represents. in many instances, great
deal Of money. But this is not every.
thing. The architects believe that it Is
possible to inject little freshness and
landscape symmetry into this extreme
ly sordid atmosphere. They are going
to try it anyway. The competition Is
the first step.

communities in an even happier state
than this. The municipality OF Orsa.
in kopparberg. Sweden. owns exten-
sive forest lands. and by the judlcious
sale of some of them the village has
revenue OF about $4,000 per year.
No taxes of any kind have TO be paid,
Moreover. each district has its own tel.

said that he only left his horse for two

however, and testified that Ferreira was
at least fifteen feet away from the ami

NO answered the officer.

I the ex-jockey.
Another officer testified about the same
as the first one had done and received a
similar sarcastic endorsement of his We
racity.

ing the question of the validity of the APP
pointment of the trustees to judicial de-
termination.
Fortunately for the speedy settlement
of this question. Secretary and Treasurer
Lassiter had deposited the seal of the
University and the books relating to his
office in the office of Superintendent Me
Iyer. The superintendent readily CON
scented that suit might he instituted
against him for the possession of this
property and to expedite the case as
much as possible. Consequently. one
action was brought against DR.. Pool at
the May term, 1874. of Orange Superior
Court. The University lawyers. Messrs.
John w. Graham and James a. Graham,
declined TO accept Il fee for their services.
The judge, Tourgee. decided against the
University, but appeal to the Supreme
Court was taken. In that court III June,
1871, Hon b. +. Moore and ex-Judge
William II. Battle. who had been class
mates at the University, graduating in
1920 argued the question for their alma
mater. likewise without charge. At the
January term. 1870, the decision was for
the University.
Another committee. on motion of ex-
Governor Graham, was appointed to me-
morialiZe the General Assembly TO re-
store to the University the principal
023,00Ol of the land grant fund, which
had been impaired by the investment by
the late board largely i'll worthless spe-
cial tax bonds.
The memorial of the trustees, written
by the chairman, Ex-Governor Graham.
and endorsed by Governor Brogden, was
duly submitted to 1.-THE General Assem-
bly,, then in session. The case of the
University was strongly argued by the
distinguished chairman aud is peculiarly
interesting. as being his last state paper.
The closing work of his great career
was in behalf of the uplifting of the
youth of the land. the restoration of the
institution whose halls he had left fifty
one years before, Il highest honor grad

The bill to carry into effect the me-
mortal was introduced in the House of
Representatives on February 27, 1873.
by Mr.. Marcus Mendenhall of Guilford.

Friends, veteran teacher of high rep
utation. 1t was referred to the COM
