ENGLAND WANTS GuNsAULUs.
Doctor Has Not Made Plans to Accept
Position as Yet.

NEW YORK, Aug. l6.-The report
that DR., Gunsaulus, of Chicago, will
succeed DR.. Parker at the City Tenn
pie is premature, says the LONDON
correspondent of the Tribune, but con-
sultations have been held during the
week and he can evidently stay in
London if he wishes to give up his
complete work in America. DR.. Gun
saulus' oratocy and extraordinary en-
ergy and interest in industrial educa-
ton have made deep impression here.
His American friends think, however
that he will make serious mistake
II he allows himself to be transferred
to an environment so unlike the one
to which he was accustomed in the
West.

PARKS FOR THE PEOPLE.
The Turf Is Not So Much Hurt by the
Feet ms II Is from Soil
Exhaustion.

The question of removing or replac-
ing Keep off the grass" signs in pub
lie parks has become one OF lively in
terest in many cities because of re-
port that the turf in Central park.
New York, is in danger, on account
of the crowds not being kept to the
roads and paths, remarks the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
Comparison of experiences leads TO
the conclusion that it is not so much
the feet of the people straying over
the grass that has caused the mis-
chief as the misiudgment of the park
management. The turf is perishing
because the soil is becoming exhaust
ed. Other parks have for years been
free to the people, who are allowed
to wander where they please and set
tie themselves down on the cool turf
in twos and threes, and in larger fam
lily groups. Park parties gather and
school picnics bivouac under the shade
of the trees. while the children romp
and scamper in the open spaces with
no keep off the grass" signs to scare
them to the roads made perious by
swift automobiles or thronged with
carriages. In spite Of all this the
grass in these parks fiourishes. the
turf seeming to be the better instead
of the worse for this usage.
The parks are for the people. The
only way the masses Of the people
can enjoy themselves is by having
the freedom of the grass. The ex-
perience Of other cities. as well as
that of Cleveland, is that under rea-
sonable regulations such use of the
parks is not injurious to the turf,
provided care is taken to keep the
soil in condition to supply the grass
roots with DrOper nourishmpnt

Fear of death in the midst of a 81 orm

to have changed Herm Blanco. a full
blooded negro, into white man. The
change lasted three days. Then, so
the story goes, Blanco's natural color
asserted itself once more, and he re-
sumed his place on shipboard as

Pompcy, n. Y. BY his ability and in
dustry he pushed ahead into law Of
flee. He was admitted to the bar when
yet almost youth and soon earned Il
reputation for handling successfully
most difficult cases.
For fifty-two years Mr.. Marsh held
his place as Il leader in the bar. He
was for long time president of the
park commission and was for several
terms a vice president of the Union
league, of which he was one of the
founders
In Mr. Marsh's home IN Fifth avenue
he frequently entertained the notorious
Nine. Ann Odelia Diss De Bar. who
was sent to prison later for her part
in the spiritualistic picture swindle by
which he was deceived for years. He
believed implicitly in her power.
In 1888 Mr.. Marsh said his eyes were
opened TO Nine. Diss De Bars charac-
ter. He found many of her stories
false and that. he had been deceived
by the medium. These disclosures and
the ridicule that followed estranged
him from friends of Il lifetime, and he
finally resolved to leave the city. He
prepared to make his home on Lake
Erie and sent on his household goods.
Among the many mediums who con-
tinued to besiege his home after the
Imprisonment of Nine Diss De Bar
was Mrs. Clarlssa Huyler of Middle
town, n. y. He was invited to visit
her home. He accepted intending to
remain only few days. but he never
returned to New York nor continued

NET DEATH IN AUTOMOBILE.
millionaire Charles l.. Fair and His
wife Killed In France.

ENREUX, France, Aug. 15.-While
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles l.. Fair were
speeding in their forty-fve horsepow-
er automobile from Trouville to Paris
the machine swerved and crashed into
tree, killing Mr.. and Mrs. Fair and
shocking their chauffeur so badly that
he has become insane.
The accident occurred at half past 2
o'clock In the afternoon and almost
in front of the Chateau Buisson du
Mai. The Fairs intended to dine and
Trouville for lunch.
The wife of the gatekeeper of the
chateau was the only witness of the
disaster. She says she noticed big
red automobile coming along the road
ut tremendous pace. Suddenly some
thing happened, and the heavy ma
chine slid sideways from the right to
the left side of the road for about sixty
yards. 1t then dashed up an embank-
ment, turned a complete somersault
and crashed into big elm tree in
front of the gate of the chateau. The
automobile was completely wrecked,
the front axle was broken, and other
parts of the machine were smashed,
including the steering gear. When the
automobile turned over, the wife of the
gatekeeper says she saw Mr.. and Mrs.
Fair thrown high in the air and fall
with heavy thud to the ground. The
who was sitting behind the
Fairs, was precipitated into ditch.
The accident was evidently due to
the bursting of n tire. At the time it
occurred the automobile, which was
capable of running seventy-four miles
an hour, was going at the rate of six
ty-two miles an hour.

No reasons for the presence of the

Cumana, which is about 200 miles
east of La Guayra. was occupied for
short time by the Venezuelan revo-

the town without offering resistance.
Cumana is about fifty miles east of
