WANTS AN EXPERT
MAYOR JOSEPH WANTS ADVICE
ON TREE PROTECTION.
He will Ask Polytechnic Institute
for Biologist to Investigate
Disease That is Killing
Oak Park Trees.

The regularity with which the shade
trees under the care and protection of
the city of Montgomery, particularly
those In Oak Park, have been dying. has
been a source of anxiety to the city off,
Gals, and Mayor E. b. Joseph will re-
quest the officials of the Alabama Poly
| technic Institute to send biologist to
Montgomery to investigate the disease
which is causing such a mortality among
the trees of the city and to suggest a
remedy for 1t.
Thu splendid trees at Oak Park in
which the whole city takes a Just pride.
have been sadly thinned during the past
| five years. The trees which shade the
city pleasure resort are among the
statelest and most impressive that can
be found in this lection of the State. The
| thirty acres which form Oak Park were
principally selected for park purposes be-
cause OF their wealth of venerable and
aged oaks.
The old trees, however, did not take
kindly to civilization. They have not
thrived and grown strong in the associa-
ton of men. Many of them have pinned
and died. Death has apparently come to
them without cause. Without a percep-
tihle reason. the sap did not rise in their
limbs, their leaves turned yellow and fell
of One by one the trees were attacked
|
only fer fire wood
In order to prevent the destruction of
the chief beauty of the Park, Mayor
Joseph will secure from the Polytechnic
| Institute the service of an expert who
can locate the trouble and prescribe
remedy that will protect and preserve the
lives Of the monarchs OF the forest which
still survive.
1t is thought that perhaps the clearing
away Of the underbrush beneath the trees
had some bearing upon the secret trouble
that is undermining the health of the
forest trees. 1t is also thought that the
stirring of the sill at the root of the
trees may have assisted in bringing them
i'll health, unaccustomed as they are to
the ways of civilization
The late drought which killed so many
trees in Alabama had but little to do
with the death of any of the ornaments
of Oak Park, because most of the Park
trees die1 before the drought came on.
The death of the shade trees in the va
rious streets of the city is susceptible OF
explanation. Some of them were killed
by escaping gas, others died through an
inability to get proper nourishment from
the paved streets. and others fell victims
to the late drought.

A Card from Mr.. Ellis.

Editor The Advertiser:
In response to several commune lions
that have appeared in your recent issues.
will say that l am pledged to support
General Pettus for Senator and If elected
it will afford me a great pleasure to re-
deem that pledge.
When Governor Johnston assembled the
Legislature in extra session In 1899 tC
repeal the act calling a Constitutional
Convention I expressed myself as unal-
terably opposed to such repeal and If
am not mistaken the only official at the
capital that went on record imam enter
view published at that time in The Adver-
tiser. Since that time l have lad nc
reason to change my conviction and shall
uphold the present Constitution in every
honorable way.
Believing that Governor Jelks is more
in accord with my views on that and
many other questions of the day. | shall
vote in the primaries for his nomination
Respectfully.

A NEW "EuaENE FIELD

A new Eugene Field has been born In
Chicago. He is the young son of 'Trotty
Field" who married William C. Engler,
formerly of Baltimore. about a year ago.
Everyone remembers how Miss Mary
Field, otherwise ''Trotty." went on the
platform after her fathers death and
read from his works This she did from
urgent necessity, Eugene Field having
left little for his family to subsist upon.
Her marriage last year was the occa-
sion for many coHg atu'a ions f ON all
parts Of the country. and these have
been redoutled since thu advent of the
new Eugene Fieli."

LOST MANUSCRIPT FOUND.

A special from Paris to The New YORK.
American says:
"A lost manuscript of Carmen sylvia,
the lettered Queen of Roumania, has al
last been found. 1t is a work of philoso-
phical thoughts about woman's destiny
and was written by the Queen when she
was living at Venice in exile because
of the stand she took in favoring her
sons marriage with her maid of honor
the accomplished and beautiful Heller
Vaearexco.
The manuscript has been found by
some fishermen, hidden away In the cor
ner of derelict boat near Venice.
Carmen sylvia was probably caught ir
q storm and put away the precious roll
for safekeeping. The r'or fishermen
knew nothing OF the value of the parcel
they had found. but the golden cords
which bound the manuscript. containing
the thoughts about wcman's destiny dur
ing Her Majesty's lifetime led them tc
make inquiries.
Hitherto people have known of Its
existence through Pierre Lott. One even
ing at Venice the Queen read few chap
tiers of it to the distinguished sailor mar
of letters. In his Exilee Pierre Lot
asks: What has become of that master
piece? "
