Perhaps it is not too much to say
that st. Paurs fame has been extended
more widely by it's great system of
public baths than by any other thing.
Magazines from one end of the country
to the other have celebrated them in
pictures and story, and the admins
traitors of greater cities have journeyed
hither to find out how st. Paul manag-
ed to so get the start of all the world
in It's system of public baths.
Although the famous institution on
Harriet island was founded for all the
people, 1t was intended in particular
for the children of st. Paul-it was to
be their playground-the ideal spot
where Young America could, even in
the heart of a great city, give vent
to his enthusiasm in a little tree Shelf
cred nook somewhat shut off from the
noise and hurry of the city, and pos
sessing country atmosphere of puri-
ty and natural beauty. This has been
the ideal Of the baths. Gradually this
ideal is being attained. The baths al
ways appealed to the little people. It
has appealed to them more, however,
since the first of June than it ever did
before. Since that date it has been
the most popular resort for children
in the entire community.
Children Approve 1t.
On June 1st, the latest feature was
added to the island, It's outdoor gym
nasium, and since the first day it was
inaugurated there has been an average
daily attendance of eight hundred chill
dren, the number often running as high
as twelve hundred a day. Twenty
thousand children have enjoyed the
glories of the new playground since the
opening day. All the boys, and most
of the girls in town, know all about
it now, and it is safe to say that dur
ing the present school vacation more
mothers in st. Paul will know where
there children are Willing away their
vacation hours than they ever did be-
fore.
A fine large plot or ground $50 by
800 feet surrounded by great spreadins
trees was selected for the gymnasium.
On this spot the children have for their
use and enjoyment nearly every kind
of athletic continuance. There are
vaulting poles, balancing poles, vault
ing horses, horizontal bars, parallel
bars, horizontal ladders, spring boards,
climbing ropes, swings, may pole
swings and various other appliances
such as are deemed essential to the
equipment of a first Grass gymnasium.
From 8 o'clock in the morning until
8 o'clock in the evening the gymnasium
is open to the children, after s o'clock

Young Folks Lcse No Time.
And the children lose no time during
these eleven hours. There rs not an
hour of the day when they will not
be found tumbling about on the play
ground, INDUCING in all kinds of gym
nastic feats. indulging in friendly riv-
airy at vaulting, pounding the punch
ing bag, swinging the indian clubs,
and dumb bells.
It is worth walking over to the island
just to see the children enjoy them
selves. Their shouts mingle with the
bird songs in the tree-tops, and they
actually live, many of them receiving
at this place the only real enjoyment
of their lives.
II, as some maintain, it is a crime
to bring up children in a large city,
without the chance TO breathe fresh
air and receive the impressions of

observer, the life of the mechanic,

WILL CONTEST
Providence Interested in One
in Progress at Boston.

The Urlel II. Crocker will case was on
trial before Judge Grant in Boston yes:
terday.
Among the witnesses heard was Ju'ige
Arthur L. Brown OF the United States
District court.
He said tha. he married slster OF
Mrs. George u. crocker. whose husband
was one OF the scrs o. The tcstator.
The hearing OF ;his testimony was upon
the relations between the elder Crocker
and HIS sons sircs their mothers death
IN 1891. Since then the senior Crocker
had married a Miss Fitz. clerk in his
law office. The sons OF the testator are
eli prominent in Boston. several members
OF the family being public officials.
An interesting feature OF the case was
the introduction OF a statement from the
deceased to show that he had been gen
erous toward his sons. The paper was
written Dec. A. 1898, and was presented
by counsel for the widow. to whom, under
the will. was given entire control Of the
property.
The statement related that two years
after the death OF the first wife the testa-
tor married again. that this marriage
seemed displeasing to his son George and
wife, although the testator judged the
season to be mainly that they considered
that the second Mrs. Crocker did not
"move in polite society" and went on to
state that the testator considered four
years 10 have been time enough for his
son and wife to change their attitude to-
ward the new Mrs. Crocker and since the
change had not come and they were eel
dom. and then only very formally, present
IN the testator's house. he felt called on
IN the next year. instead OF paying to
George the $4,000 from his mothers = es-
tate which he had been accustomed to
pay to give hin. $4,000.
Those who contest the will claim that
there was no intentional conduct on their
part intended to cause tn, elder Crocker
10 turn against them. and that he was
influenced against them.
