flowers Be D.
Mayor Pagan Won't Allow
Money to Improve City
Hall Park.

Mayor Fagan's policy Of cutting down
expenses has reached to the lawn about
the City Hall. He has given the Board OF
City Hall Commissioners to understand
that they must not buy flowers to be
planted in the four beds in the lawns
Since the City Hall was finis.ied Su-
perintendent Datz has cared for its lawns
like a hen caring for her chickens. He
has watched them carefully, and spent
many sleepless nights devising ways and
means of adding to their beauty. 1t was
on these occasions that he decided to
warn all dogs to keep off the lawns by
placing signs, low enough for any dog to
read on which was painted Dogs must
keep off the grass
Mr.. Datz was seated on the steps IN
front Of the Hall this morning when 8
reporter for THE News" came upon him.
He was sad and his head was bowed low.
where are the beautiful flowers that
were in those beds last year, Commits
sioner?"
Il don't know wish 1 could get hold
of them and put them back in those
BEDS
'Why?"
Because there will be no successors to
them so far as I can see"
DO you mean that those ugly mounds
of dirt will be left as they are without
fiowers?'
YES, unless the City Hall Commission
ers change their minds, he sadly replied.
why win they not buy flowers?'
st is said they cost too much. My plan
is to plant 1,5O0 pansies the same as here
tofore. That would cost $780, Surely the
people will feel that they are getting
more than their moneys worth. If it were
put to vote of the people it would be
approved by an overwhelming majority. :"
rs Mayor Fagan opposed to the buying
and planting Of flowers?"
HE has spoken unfavorably about the
matter
do you suppose he is cutting these
small expenses so that he will have money
for his pet schemes?a
IF everything is to be sacrificed to
those schemes the city will suffer much.
Any one who is interested in parks should
be glad to benefit these lawns

SANFORD PLACE IN ARMS
Mayor Says Property Owners
Must Pay All the I'M
provement Cost.

Mayor Pagan this morning said he
would not sign the contract for the iirl-
provement of Sanford place as il now
stands.
The Mayor has gone over the map Of
the proposed improvement carefully, and
says he will refuse to allow the city to
pay. 20 per cent. of the cost Of improve
ment, as is proposed at present. u
The improvement is to cost SIC, 600. It is
proposed at present to have the property
owners whose property ADULTS on Sanford
place to pay so per cent by assessment.
This they are willing to do, though of late
they feel that they have been assessed
to the limit by paying for the improve
ments on the cross streets, the majority
of which have been improved in the last
few years. All Of these improvements
were paid for by the property owners,
but they had no objection then, because
the situation was entirely different.
Sanford place is a street with many
curves and angles. 1t crosses no other
street at right angles. The result Is that
the property at any corner is in the shape
of a triangle, the side street forming the
base and Sanford place one of the sides.
No corner property has frontage on
Sanford place. The property owners
thereabouts protest against paying all the
cost because of the manner in which they
have been assessed in side streets where
they were somewhat benefited.
The contract was awarded some time
ago to Philip Tumulty and he had the
most of the necessary materials brought
to the scene of the improvement. he
could not begin work because Mayer
Pagan did not sign the contract and he
has notified the city that he will sue for
the expense the delay has occasioned him.
In speaking about his refusal to sign
the contract, Mayor Fagan this morning
said
Il will not sign the contract because |
do not propose that the city will pay ~
per cent of the cost of the Improvement.
How is it to be paid then?'
Let the property owners on the liae
Of Improvement pay for it.
They say they had been assessed as
much as they can stand now for improve
ments on side streets.
'.The assessment for Sanford place has
not been properly made. 1t should be
spread out all over that section. The inn
provement of Sanford place will ~beneht
the whole neighborhood. Let the whole
neighborhoed pay for it.
"The city paid $4,000 last year for inn
provements to Streets continued Mayor
Pagan, and it won't pay any s26o00 this
| year if can help it."
The Twe,ft~ Ward Improvement Asso-
! citation has taken the matter up and at
its next meeting will appoint committee
to wait on Mayor Fagan to discuss the
matter.

LAFAYETTE'S DAY
Everyone Turned Out at the
Dedication Of the New
Park.

A crowd of over 5000 witnessed the dedi-
cation of the new Lafayette Park yester-
day afternoon and cheered city officials.
1t was hard TO tell which got the great-
est ovation. The people cheered theHl-
selves hoarse and thousands of American
flags were waved vigorously for several
minutes. The exercises were carried on.
as told in these columns yesterday. There
were no hitches and much credit is due
the special committee of the Lafayette
Citizens Association for so successfully
arrangin all the details.
1t was great day for Lafayette. There
were flags and other decorations every
where. The people seemed to regard It as
a holiday. All rejoiced that the park was
becoming more nearer a reality eacn day.
About forty trees have been planted
Some were set in on Lafayette street.,
some on Manning avenue and the balance
on Van Horne street. There were no
trees planted yesterday. All that was
done by Mayor Fagan was the throwing
of a few shovelsful of earth around
certain tree when he declared the park
dedicated.
The exercises were inspiring. About
1900 school children sang and cheered. It
was indeed a great sight. Three bands Of
music were on the grounds and discoursed
patriotic and national airs for several
hours. The most perfect order was main-
tained. Captain McKaig had his men wed
placed around the park site and the crowo
seemed to act as one person at times
All OF the speeches were cheered- Mayor
Fagan. DR. Lampson Judge Murphy,
Commissioners Hauck and Sullivan Jo-
seph Zumbusch Lawyer Frank Angel and
Superintendent Snyder spoke. There we1o
numerous officials present on the pia--
form.
The Lafayette citizens besieged Mayor
Faan and imploreG him to use his in
fluenee in having ap appropriation set
aside by the Board of Finance for the iTt-
provement of the park. The cost will ns
about $4,000. The Street and Water
Board has a balance OF 5000. and wanz
about $4,000 to put the park in proper
shape.

Repaying a Loan.

When General Fitz- Hugh Lee was in
Cleveland the other day, he received a
call from young man who gave his
name as Lieutenant Ira G. Farley and
who prefaced his business by pressing
a two dollar bill into the generals
hand. whats this for?" gasped Gen
eral Lee in blank establishment. Then
the visitor explained that he had serv-
ed under Maceo in Cuba from 1895 to
1897 and that in August of the latter
year, being sick and out of funds, he
had applied to Lee for transportation
home. The general had assisted him
and offered to lend him money. but he
would accept only 50. This, Lieutenant
Farley explained, was the first oppor-
tunity he had had of meeting his bene-
factor, and he FASTENED to repay the
loan.

why He Resigned.

For the sake of his duty the late Sen.
ator William j. SeWell sacrificed his
ambition and for time threw himself
open TO misinterpretation. The New
York Times prints the real explanation
of what people who did not know the
facts thought, to say the least, an I'M
grateful action.
At the outbreak of the Spanish war
Senator Sewell sought and obtained a
commission as brigadier general. He
was a veteran of the civil war and
stood good chance Of being sent to
the front. but after his appointment the
president sent for him.
"You will have to decline the COM
mission" said Mr.. Mckinley, who then
explained that the administration need
ed his support in the senate.
81 have set my heart on getting into
the saddle again." said the senator,
"and New Jersey will send you some
body else whom you can depend on to
take my place in the senate"
But a new man cannot take your
| place on the military affairs commit
tee" replied the president. and then in
a gently compelling tone ended the in
terview by saying, "Your commander
in chief needs you where you are.''
! Senator Sewell went to his hotel and
wrote his refusal of the commission be
so much coveted. 1t was not unit
months after that he explained to hi!
friends that he was simply doing hi!
duty as a soldier.

Lord Dufferin relates in his rectorial
address delivered in 1891 to the stu
dents of ST. Andrews university that
he sat down and wrote out every word
of his speech and learned it so care
fully by heart that he knew that no
untoward accident or interruption
could interfere with its delivery. The
speech lasted an hour and a half, and
Lord Dufferin was able to go through
it without once looking at a note. Lord
Dufferin had curious practice in Can
ada, where apparently in those days
shorthand writer's in many places were
not plentiful. He frequently, at the
request of the reporters, rehearsed his
speech previous to a meeting, and he
was surprised to find how this enabled
him to clarity and condense what he
intended to say an hour later Ehen he
addressed his audience.-London Spec

And the red grew deeper in the beau
tiful face beside u.s.
Never did the country look so love-
ly. The woods were in their gayest
autumn dress; the brown fields were
bathed in purple haze; the air was
sweet and fresh with a suspicion of
the coming frosts of winter. But in
it was as if hours had gone before our
eyes fell upon the white manse stand

his head. "Ah. mother, you are deep.
Who would have thought it of you?"
That evening the manse overfiowed
with joy, and the days that followed
were like dreams set to sweet music.
But for sheer wild delight nothing in
my memory can quite come up to the
demonstration organized by Graeme,
with assistance from Nixon, Shaw,
Sandy, Abe. Geordie and Baptiste, in
honor of the arrival in camp of Mr.. and
Mrs. Craig, and in my opinion it added
something to the occasion that after all
the cheers for Mr.. and Mrs. Craig had
died away and after all the hats had
come down Baptiste. who had never
taken his eyes from that radiant face,
should suddenly have swept the crowd
into a perfect storm of cheers by ex-
citedly Selling his toque and calling out
in his shrill voice:

DANGEROUS SURGERY.
Should Be The Last Resort.

Many people suffer from piles because
after trying various lotions, salves and
ointments without relief or cure, they
come to the conclusion that a. surgical
operation is the last resort, and rather
than submit to the shock and risk to
life of an operation, prefer to suffer on {;
very often. however, the afflicted one
is over persuaded to resort to the knife,
and even though the operation Is ,appar-
emily successful, and there is complete
recovery from the shock incident thereto,
the result is invariably the same: the
piles sooner or later return because their
cause has not been removed. This re-
suit is a logical one, inasmuch as the
knife removes the effects of the disease
only. while the cause remains as before.
There is claimed to be a remedy which
does remove the cause, hence graduating
the disease, and that is the Pyramid Pile
Cure: it is in the form of suppostory
is applied directly TO the parts affected,
and brings about a complete cure,
quietly and painlessly. In this connec-
ton the testimony of Mr.. John cullen
