BUFFALO'S GREAT WORLDS FAIR.

The Pan-American exposition is
V 1t was a magnificent show,
even surprising the Chicago fair in
many respects. The money invested
in it was about $40, 900, 900. The
stockholders calculated that the at
tendance would be at least 16, 200, 900,
but it was just about half that much,
counting passes and all. While the
enterprise was a success as a great
display, financially it was disastrous.
The losses are estimated at about
a, 1000, 900. OF this the stockholders
must lose 50, 500, 900, those who built
the structures for the exposition
81, 900, 900 and the holders of the sec
ond issue of bonds $500, 900.
While these losses are considerable
and no doubt are somewhat dampen-
ing to the ardor of those who put uT
the money, the city of Buffalo has
just cause to be proud Of its effort,
The money which was lost was or viii

Concerning Good Roads.

In road building the object is TO OBJ
tain roadway with a firm and un-
yielding surface, one that can stand
the wear of passing vehicles without
disintegration, and it must also be wa
terproof, so that rains will run off into
the gutter instead of penetrating the
surface. a gravelly soil needs less
preparation than any other Roads
need not be over 10 feet wide, with
s inches of cobblcstone or broken lime
stone for foundation and a surface of
finer stone as finish. The limestone
used for a foundation should be cover
ed with granite to secure best results.
All roads should be drained and tiled
where necessary.

GREEN SPOTS IN CITIES.
Important influence They Have on
Many Phases of Life.


The most noteworthy development of
any art in recent times in our country
is the growth of landscape architec-
turc. Within easy memory it has pass
ed from private to public recognition,
and men of middle age can readily re-
call the time when formal lawn plots
amid rigid tree settings were regarded
rs the best Offering of the landscape
architect.
Now we take our magnificent public
parks as Il matter of course. We keen
ly appreciate them. In fact, we could
not get along without them. But all
this fast growing public interest in
landscape architecture is develop
mcnt of the last half century. 1t began
with individual owners of estates and
extended gradually to the people. 1t
was long an ariStocratic art, but the
democratic appreciation of it has open
ed up the possibilities of a complete
development, and it now perhaps de-
serves to be called in a sense that no
other art does the peculiarly democrat
ic and American art.

take more pride. Go to any city or
town you WILL and you will discover
that the park plays an important part
in the life and enjoyment of the people
of all classes. 1t will be many a gener-
alton before the whole continental area
will present continuous succession of
parks and gardens, but the impulse has
already become so general as to war
rant the expectation that the time will
come when no other large area of the
carth's surface will present such va
ried and beautiful aspects. Men are at
work in many places, as in the Arnold
arhOrctum in Boston. a visitor cx-
pressed his admiration of the hills of
trees. Not yet, not yet" a landscape
artist replied. Come here Il hundred

Municipal improvement

A good water supply, perfect sewer
age and disposal of garbage, good
street paving and street cleaning
should be the first boast of every mu-
nicipality. Let these be pointed to
with the pride which is commonly be-
slowed upon great public institutions
and buildings. | see no reason why
slumS should be allowed in any city,
says Walter Wyman, surgeon general
of marine hospital service. Relative
ly speaking, too much attention Is paid
to public parks and handsome munich
pal buildings. The City's improve
mcnts should be in the alleys, around
the docks, in the tenement house
quarters and, great as may be the ap-
probation of public art, as manifested
by statues and public gardens and of
the parks and bOulevards, let these
wait upon the less showy but more i'm
portant features of municipal life.

that he had a little idle time re-

GOOD GOVERNMENT.
Partisan Politics the Bnue OF the
Modern city.

The tendency to demand that the
business Of our cities as corporate GOV
ernments he managed "by business
men on business principles" is siGnif-
cant. We recognize the advent of the
type of reforming mayor who as
business man plans to manage the adj
miniStration of the city on the basis
of careful estimates, open boOkkeep-
ing, individual responsibility, with the
head of each department for good re-
suits in his own domain. and Il rigid
eye to low tax rate and this type
of administration has many of the
marks of the ideal city government.
But how are we to secure the choice
year after year of such honest men?
Docs not experience prove that with
us in America our cities lapse from
the rule of such a mayor into the con-
troll of the party's boss or of the
combination ring" the product of n
deal between the rascalS and bosses
in both the parties? Only at intervals
of five or ten years, when abuses be-
come intolcrablc do the maiorty of
all the voters rouse themselves to
sense of civic righteousness and, after
strenuous campaign, "drive out the
rascalS" and begin again with an hon
est government.
Is there no way Of keeping the gov
Crnment good in our cities? We seem
to need perpctually in our city affairs
men of the type of the one idea re-
former at the beginning Of the French
revolution, to whom Carlyle loved to
refer, who for an hour necessarily re-
peatcd in the convention the itcrant
cry, "Je demand arrcstHtion des
cOquinS ct dcSlachcS" Il call for the
arrest of the knaveS and dastards."
After all. the men of unclean politics
are morally dastards. essentially cow
ards. When the light is let in on
them by bold men. who turn over the
dank and rotten planks in the mire of
our city governments which hide these
foul workers in the dark. they scuttle
and writhc away as do other unseen
ly creatures which hate Gods sun

Donohue Of Philadelphia was made treas
urer.
Prior to the election of president there
was an animated discussion in regard to
the terms made by thinner when he acted
for the players in negotiations with the
National and the American leagues. He
had the documents to show conclusively
that he was actuated by the best motives
for his fellow-players, and that he prob
ably succeeded in obtaining recognition
that it would have been hard for most
base ball players to receive. This was due
to his persistence and the firmness with
which he stated his case.
The players have thought for some time
that they should take some action in re-
gard to contract jumpers. The matter was
discussed at much length yesterday, but
to no avail further than appointing a COM
mittee, consisting of Lave" Cross of the
Philadelphia American League club, Jones
of the Chicago American League club and
James Mcclure of the Brooklyn club, to in
vestigate further.
On the part of most Of the men there Is
a determination to try to keep the aSSo-
citation in existence. for they fear the rival
leagues will adopt a treaty of peace this
fall and endeavor to cut salaries.
The meeting resulted in a vote deciding
that the option or reserve" clause in
contracts is not binding, and will not be
needed by players in the future This de-
cison is following the precedent estab-
lished by the Philadelphia court in the
Lajoie case.
