MISS RE1NA Y. WRIGHT.
wisconsin Girl Who Can Talk to Birds
in Their Own Tongue.)

to understand their conversation.
Miss Wright. who is now 10, has made
a study of bird sounds since she was
IL years old. She began by talking to
her feathered friends in their own
tongue, and was soon gratified by
noting her power of calling them to-
gether and imposing silence upon
them while she trilled their songs.
The birds not only listen, but answer
her. sometimes in chorus and again
one at a time. Miss Wright is now, q
teacher of elocution at Grafton hall,
in Fond du Lac. She was born in Me-
braska and came to Fond du Lac when
a child of three. She has been + q
student in the Ralston University of
Expression and Physical Culture ut
Washington, where she worked under
the private direction of President
Edgerly. She was graduated last year
and then went home to teach. -

5 A;distinguished botanist in speak
ing sof plant life in our cities and ~
local parks argues that it is under
ever Increasing peril constantly and
is liable to finally become extinct.
In the hrst place, there il the mat
ter Of noise in all it's forms and the
vibrating rumblings which go with
the various augmented population.
Flowers need sleep. Trees sleep. All
forms of vegetable life must, at reg
ularly recurring intervals, be al
lowed to lapse into . condition of re-
pose else some radical change will
take place in the form Of the plant.
But noise is not the only de-
stroyer Of plant life in cities. There
are many other things that threaten
to denude the cities of vegetation
finally. Plants and flowers and all
kinds of vegetation sleep best away
from the glare. So the lights Of the
city, which blind all through the
night, must contribute somewhat to
this interference with vegetable
sleep. Dust and smoke and other
things that fill the air unquestion-
ably have considerable influence on
vegetation in the cities. Electricity,
independent of it's uses for lighting
purposes, has bad effect on city
vegetation. The overcharged condi-
ton Of the earth because of the cleo
trical currents that are constantly
finding their way back to the point
of generation cannot be healthy from
viewpoint of vegetation. The con-
struction of large buildings interfere,
too, with the natural flow of air cur
rents and the plants of city are in
a measure smothered.
But the same electricity that the
botanist tells us is gradually destroy
ing tree life in the cities is trans
porting the people far out into the
country cheaply and rapidly. There
is compensation, after all, in the
tendencies that make civilization .

Hallof Fame,

Nominations for the hall of fame at the
Forthcoming st. Louis exposition are ex-
citing much comment and some contro-
versy through the state. Originally the
names Of former Governor and United
States Senator Gilbert A. Pierce and
Father j. M. B. Genin, an early Catholic
priest. were sent in. Afterwards the
name of Pierce was withdrawn for the
reason that he was not, strictly speaking,
one Of the pioneers. and the name Of
Colone! William Thompson, for fifty or
sixty years pioneer of Illinois. Iowa and
Dakota was substituted. The name Of
Father Genin was allowed to stand.

PASSAIC APPEAL
Jersey City Urged to Jcin
Other Cities in Pollu-
ton Case Against
Paterson.
Time OF LIMITATION SHORT
Under Present Decision Only
Owners Above Tide Water
Are Protected.

Mayor Hoos today received the presi-
dent of the Passaie Valley Mutual Fro
tective Association, who urged his Honor
to do something towards having the city
join with that of other cities in an appeal
of the recent decision of the Court OF
Errors and Appeals in reference to the
Passaic pollution case against the city
of Paterson
Mr.. Samuel Phillips, president, in laying
the matter before the Mayor, said
THE time for taking this appeal will
very soon expire by limitation and the
matter is of much momentous importance
that the inhabitants along the entire Pas
sale Valley should join heart and hand
with the authorities and citizens of Jersey
City in final appeal to the highest
tribunal of the nation. This is the only
real claim the riparian owners have for
securing an injunction against the city
of Paterson and every other municipality
for polluting the Passaic River. There
fore there should be no lack of funds pro-
yided for this special purpose.
..Under the decision of the Court OF
Errors only the riparian owners above
the tide water have any relief in damage
claims on account of the pollution of the
relief in damages for the injury to the
public health of these private owners.
The Judgment of the court simply pro-
vides for civil damages; nor does it pro-
vide any relief whatever for the misery
and discomfort of thousands of the en-
ployes in the mills and factories located
along the banks of the polluted stream
who are compelled year after year to
suffer and endure the intolerable nusi-
ance. In the decision of the court there
is no power vested in the State Sewerage
Commission nor the Legislature of New
Jersey to force an injunction nor to COM
pei any city or community to stop the
pollution
1T is simply matter of consent
whether Paterson or any other city
changes their sewerage system and there
is no reason to think that these offenders
against common law will ever proceed
with undue haste until pestilence de-
populates the Passaic Valley. OF course
we must not lose sight of the suit of the
private owners of the stream in joint
bill in the Court of Chancery in the hands
of one of the ablest lawyers in the State,
but the condition of the Passaic River is
too alarming at this late day to risk our
cause on any single point of law
Compensation can never compensate
for the loss of our beautiful Passaic, nor
can this beautiful stream ever be re-
deemed Until the nuisance is abated; and
it is a self-evident fact that the munici-
palities will never consent to provide
remedy until the pollution is enjonied."
The Mayor promised the delegation that
their request would be given serious con-
sideration.

CITY DREDGES ] CANAL.
Part Of the Basin in the
South Cove Will Be
Excavated.

AS a sort of sequel to the controversy
between the city and the Uvalde Asphalt
and Lehigh Valley Railroad Companies
over the possession of Dudley street, ap-
pears the determination on the part of
the city to dredge out a portion of the
basin in the South Cove grant, filed in
by the Central Railroad near the foot OF
Van Worst street The city officials We're
obliged to take the initiative to settle the
question of the possession of Dudley street
and no sooner had the railroad company
been forced to apply to the courts than
plans were put under way for settle
ment of the dispute over the possession
of lands included in the South Cove grant
by the same method. The Lehigh Valley
Company was slow to take UP the matter
and it has been openly charged that this
was because the railroad company was
not sure of its ground and hesitated about
appeal to the courts.
In the vicinity of and just beyond the
Morris Canal, between the foot of Van
Worst street and the foot of Henderson
street, was a strip of what was once
portion of a State waterway and was in
cluded in the South Cove grant. The Lee
high Valley Railroad Company, as lessees
of the Morris Canal, among other en-
croachments filled in this strip and built
a bulkhead at the foot of Henderson
street On the Van Worst street side
there was channel deep enough to ac-
commodate canal boats. This was filled
in.
On Saturday last two immense dredging
scows of the Packard Dredging Company
made their appearance in the vicinity and
yesterday the work of dredging out the
channel partially filled in by the Lehigh
Valley Company was commenced. The
work was progressing up to noon today
under the supervision of Street and Water
Commissioner Nolan.
The city, it is stated on good authority,
is waiting for the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company to enjoin it from dredging the
property in. dispute so that it will have a
case.
The Barber Asphalt Company's plant Ia
located at the foot of Henderson street.
1t was said that the big scows that are
taking the mud away from the dredging
machines would interfere with the tranic
of the Barber Asphalt Company, which,
by the day, is the asphalt trust. The
Uvalde Asphalt Company publicly inti-
mated that the city's efforts to maintain
possession of Dudley street against the
encroaehnlent of the Lshigh Valley Rail-
road Company was inspired by the AS
phalt trust.

KELLER DIDN'T PREACH.
No Reply Has Been Sent to

Letter.

In anticipation that the Rev. John

sion, Arlington, yesterday, there was a
large congregation present. Scores of his
parishioners waited about the chapel for
Mr.. Keller but at the last moment word
was received that the rector did not feel
strong enough to read the services, and
a clergyman from Orange officiated in
his stead.
H. r. Kearns, secretary of the Thomas
g. Barker Defense Association, says the
association has not as yet received any
reply to the letter sent the other day
to Mr.. Keller, urging him to bring legal
action against Mrs. Barker. The letter
was registered and sent through the
mails. Mr. Kearns says not even the
receipt has come to hand.
Barker's bicycle was ratified off Satur-
